Gentlemen: I have long been desirous of writing you a letter of gratitude for the happy results obtained from your wonderful remedy, D. D. D.. and I am doing so now with a deep feeling of appreciation, hoping that it may bring the same happiness and relief to other sufferera that It brought to me. # Six years of intense suffering from a sever# case of eczema, to be given up as incurable by sixteen doctors, several of whom were specialists of skin diseases, and then to have tried every known medicine for my ailment without effect, and finally to procure absolute relief and a permanent cure from a new remedy, is an ex- perienee that justitles my action in making it known to the public; and I feel that it is my duty to give it as much publicity as possible, so that other sufferers maybe relieved. My sym pathy goes out to those who have to go through what I did. It was almost unendurable, and not only was it a most painful disease, but its ap pearance was horrible on my face, and for years* I went from home to the store and back again, going to no place of amusement or visiting any friends, simply going through a daily ordeal that 1 could scarcely endure Worse than that. I was restricted to eating certain things, and any change from that would greatly increase the pain. Mv hands and fingernails were unsightly, and I wore gloves all the time. My eyes were swollen most of the time so that I could barely see, and my ears and face had all the resemblance of a raw piece of steak. All this embarrassment and pain and misery have entirely left me. I can now call on my friends, go any place I desire and my business is receiving the attention that it should. When siK'clalists will pronounce you licyond cure, and you are advised to seek another place of resi dence. and leave your established and profitable business, is it no wonder then that I should write you this letter? Thanking you again, and wishing your great, remedy continued success, believe me, I am your grateful friend, ROBERT SUSSMAN. If you are suffering the tortures of thedamned don’t hesitate, but go TODAY, NOW, to your druggist and Invest $1.00. It will not be an expenditure, but an Investment in happiness. D. D. D.

Cherokee Drug Co,, Gaffney, S, C, Report of Condition of Crops Through out the State. Columbia. Auk. 22.—The mean tem- P> rat ure for the week ending Monday, \iiKust 21st, averaged about 3 degrees below normal. Cue first and last days having had nearly normal tempera tures and the middle of the week was unseasonably cool, especially at night. The extremes were a maximum of 95 degrees at Florence on the Idth, and i minimum of •>9 degrees at Florence anl Greenville on the 19th. There were no destructive high winds nor hail storms. Daily rains continued during the first of the week over practically the whole State, but tiie rainfall was much lighter than last week ami ranged from over 2 to less than half •n inch, with the larger amounts gene rally in the North Carolina border counties, where bottom lands were fain ilooded in places, and crops seriously damaged. Over the central and eastern portions, tne rainfall was not materially damaging, and in many places was beneficial. The ground was generally too wet to finish cultivating late corn over the western counties, and frequent rains interrupted fodder pulling, and interfered with the preparation of lands for fall truck in the coast sec- tionte, but induced a rapid growth of peas grass for hay. turnips and sweet potatoes, all of which show improve ment in condition. While the deterioration of cotton was not as rapid as last week, the conditions that caused it have not materially changed and continued complain’s are received of excessive shedding and the spread of rust, es pecially on sandy lands. Shedding was also excessive on clay land cot ton. but on such lands the plants main- t'da a generally healthy color and con tinue to grow and bloom. A few cor respondents report a slight improve ment. Dolls are opening rapidly over the eastern counties where picking is well under way. and a few bolls have opened in the extreme western coun ties where picking will not be active for a week or so. Kxcept on bottom lands that were I’ooded, there has been a marked im provement in late planted corn, which now promise to be a full crop. Peas , ■i. > growing ranidly, and sweet pota toes have improved, as have gardens; ,nd other food and forage crops. Kire harvest has begun and will be active next week except in the George- iown district. Date fruits have rotted badly.

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposcsthe nerves of thestomach,thus caus ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kctiol Dyspsjisia Cure relieves all inflammation of the mucou.-- membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

Robertson & Gullick Agents, FOR Up-to-Date Job Pnnt mg, caM at tn< LEDGER Office. Gaffney, S. C. A Bold. Bad Book Agent. (Lippincotts.) One <lav an enterprising agent who ha.l informed himself, approached a Mr. Smith with the interesting sug gestion.— “Now. .Mr. Smith. I know that to day is your wedding anniversary. Don’t you want to give Mrs. Smith a handsome Bihle as an annivorsio > present ? I can let you have today a beautiful fifteen dollar Bible for five dollars.” ^ . . After some discussion Mr Rmiti’ took the Bible, .lust here the plot thickens. The book agent pocketed the proceeds, then promptly ran up| to Mr. Smith's house, called for Mrs. ; Smtih, and asked if site wouldn’t like to make her husband a present of a i fine Bible on this anniversa'v. He sa id that as he was anxious to dis-; pose of all his hooks before going to rieveland at six o’clock, he would j aerifice a beautiful fifteen dollar Bible for five dollars. After some; hesitation Mrs. Smith bought the Bible. When Mr. Smith reached home that evening and presented his wife with a large package containing an anniversary gilt, she went into the next, room and nroduced its male. Tableau! Smith vowed vengeance I uith all the hent of a warm disposi-j lion. However there was a fine fes-j tal supper waiting, so lie contented i himself for the present with a tele-j phonic appeal to one Lewis Johnson, | a nearby friend. “Lewis,” he urged. “1 want you to huTy down to the station and stop n hook agent wno is going to Cleve land at six o’clock. I must see him: hold him till 1 can finish supper and get there.” Then he gave a brief lesc-iption of the man and rushed hack to his sumi'T. The good Lewis hopped on a pass ing car and swept down upon the book agent just as the train pulled in. “See he r (*.” he explained, “Smith s°ys that he must see you and that you are to wait over a train for him.” "Sorry: I’d like to oblige him but *t’-; impos-ible.

Ex-Senator M'Laurin Replies to Gentle men Who Suggested His Nomination. Bennettsville, Aug.’ 22.—The follow ing reply was mailed by ex-Senatoi J. L.

The platform, which you declare, is the only one unon which I would care to stand were I candidate for governor, and I hop ■ that the right man will come forward and carry the principles which you lay down, to success. Personally 1 do not wish to become a candidate for any office but, if I felt that I were needed. I would not hesitate to res pond to the call. I am sure, however, that the present skua!ion is such that my candidacy for office would give the opportunity to confuse by making the contest personal and I wish to see this campaign made without regard to the personal or political fortunes of any individual, looking solely to the public good. With kindest personal regards. I am, ‘‘Ever yours, sincerely. “John Lowdes McLaurin.” Life in New York. (News and Courier.) The conditions of life in New York City are very had. Several days ago a little hoy of six years, whose mother died six months ago, and whose father disappeared, leaving the waif to the care of a heartle s world, was dis covered by a policeman living in a trunk in the back yard of a house situated on an alley. The little out cast was found nestling in a pile of old clothing and broken toys, which he had gathered up. ami was living i very much as Elijah had lived when lie was fed by the ravens, although the ravens came to John Mulqueen a: the rarest intervals, and with the poorest food. The policeman turned the hoy over to some one of the charitable so cieties of the great metropolis, and so grea* are the po sihilities in this country that in the course of time the hoy who lived in the trunk may earn the right to live in the White House. About a week ago Martha Webb, wenty-two years of age, a weavei from Fall River Mass., went to New York to secure work. She tried every where hut in vain until last Thursday when she obtained the promise of em ployment in a printing shop, her ser vice' to begin next Monday. But worn out by her exertions in seeking em ployment she collapsed last Thursday while she was on her way to a dis pensary for the purpose of securing some sort of tonic that would keep her going until she could earn enough with which tq feed her famished body. Last Thursday, according to a dis patch published in the Watecbury Vnerican, James E. Foye, private s<'C- retary of Charles G. Gates, son of the Chicago millionaire, caused the arrest of his mother, Mrs. Florence Foye, be cause she begged him for money with which to buy food. Last winter upon the complaint of the mother the son! was summoned before the Department of Charities and told that he must ! pay her S3 a week. He paid her $12 1 all told, and then diregarded the or-! dors of the Department and turned aj wo- Let Common Sense Decide Do you honestly believe, that coffee sold loose (in bulk), expos t to dust, germs and insects, passi through many hands (some them not over-clean), “blende you don’t know how or by who is fit for your use t Of course y don't.

A hoy and a girl were together six ty-five years ago, near Cross Hill, when they came-across a terrapin, of the highland kind. While the young peo ple sat talking the boy, with his pen knife, cut his initials on the under neath front side of the terrapin's shell, and the date. The terrapin was turn ed loose. Only a few weeks ago this terrapin was found not more than a hundred yards from the same spot, with the initials and date as plain as the day they were cut on the shell, the terrapin having grown very little in the <»5 years taat had intervened. The ix,y of G5 years ago, now a man of more than seventy-five, remembered the incident and at once recognizeed the letters and figures as his own. He is now a widower. The girl of that day is still alive and is a widow. He is still a citizen of the same neighbor hood. She moved away years ago. Advertising is called by some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be ab’e to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In • store where the employer sells goods side by side with his clerks It is rare that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably bas pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments earrj weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
