No Need to be Alarmed About Stomach Trouble if you use
Mi-o-na--Cure Guaranteed by Gaffney Drug Co.
The most frequent affection of the
stomach is catarrh, as the delicate
membrane which lines the stomach is |
easily irritated by harmful food or
overeating. Keep a strict watch for
the first symptoms of stomach trou
ble. Take this friendly warning in
the sprit in which it is given and
profit by it.
Shortness of breath, black specks
before the eyes, furred tongue, dizzi
ness, belching of gasses or sour food,
weaknesvS and debility are all signs of
catarrh of the stomach. There is no
need to be unduly alarmed, for this
disease can be cured by Ml-o-na. It
is the only remedy that strikes fct the
root of the evil and actually cures the
disease.
It does not contan opium in any
form, acids, alcohol, or any other
harmful remedy or chemical. It is a
pure remedy that heals the irritated
mucous membrane, stimulates the so
lar plexus, and aids digestion.
Ask Gaffney Drug Co. to show you
the guarantee under which they sell
Mi-o-na. It costs but 50 cents a box,
and your money is returned if it does
not help you.

Cotton Men Meet.
A meeting of the Cherokee County
Cotton Growers’ Association was held
at the courthouse Saturday. Presi
dent Sarratt addressed the meeting in
a nice, interesting talk about the Na
tional Farmers’ Congress, which met
in Richmond, Va., a short time ago,
and which he attended as a delegate
from Cherokee.
At this meeting resolutions were
offered and adopted to the effet that,
as the crop was short this year, no
cotton be placed upon the market for
less than eleven cents; and that the
members of •the association should
patronize the cotton warehouse in
this city. Arrangements were made
with both banks of the city whereby
money could be obtained upon the
warehouse receipts.
Mr. G. W. Bonner entered the mark
et yesterday morning to buy solely
from members of the association who
desired to sell their cotton, and the
cotton so bought will be stored and
kept out of the regular cotton market.
Soon after Mr. Bonner began buying,
cotton went up from 10:20 to 10:25.
NOTICE.
I have just started my roller flour
mill near Thickety and solicit your
patronage, promising the best possi
ble service at lowest toll.

COTTON CROPS.
Relative Dlfferenc In 1904 and 1905
and Reaaona Therefor.
Thirteen good common sense reas-
son why we made a big crop in 1904:
1st. Winter of 1902-4 was frozen
the entire season, thereby pulveriz
ing the soil to a great depth. >
2nd. Srlng of 1904 was good weath
er for preimring and planting the crop
in good condition.
3rd. At no time during the year
was the planter compelled to plow
ills land too wet. Never was a more
favorable time for subsoiling the clay
of 1903-4 winter.
4th. Summer of 1901 was fine
weather for cultivating the crop,
which was well done.
5th. The month of August was
very seasonable to the growth of
the crop.
fith. The fall was fine for making
and gathering the crop.
7th. The soil was well supplied
with all of the properties of the earth
pertaining to plant food.
8th. Land owners were in good fi
nancial condition, influenced to attend
to their farms, and labor was plenti
ful. being increased by high pricetl
cotton, therefore crops were better
cultivated.
9th. Under the foregoing good con
ditions brought together, the land
was exhausted of plant, food bv mak
ing such a large crop of cotton in 1904.
10th. While there was a large
amount of guano used in 1904, and no
leaching rains, the cotton crop got
the exclusive benefit of the guano
and produced a large crop.
11th. All of the cotton crop of 1904
was well matured and gathered.
12th. Under the above good condi
tions, produced a crop of 13.500,000
bales, the largest eyer made, and
which broke the world’s record.
13th. The stalk had five locks to
the boll in 1904, on an average, which
is 20 per cent, higher than in 1903,
and lint per hundred G to 8 per cent,
higher.
Good reasons why we can't make
a crop in 1903:
1st. Winter of 1904-5 was rainy,
and snow fell, followed by .heavy
rains, which leached and packed the
land together to a great depth.
2nd. Spring of 1905 was bad .weath
er for preparing and planting the
crop, which could not he finished,
owing to continued rains.
3rd. The planter was compelled to
plow his land tor) wet or lose his crop;
and at no time could he have subsoiled
it.
4th. Summer of 1905 was too wet
for cultivating the crop, which was
badly done and followed by a drought
which checked the growth.
5th. The month of August was
rainy and started a new growth in the
plant, which caused shedding at a
rapid rate.
6th. Tlie fall of 1905, which is on
hand, is fine for gathering, hut very
much against the maturing of late
bolls, which are found on the stalk
with one, two and three locks, and
sometimes not one.
7th. The soil of 1905 being largely
destitute of the properties contained
in Mother Earth of 1904, and the grass
of 1905 render it impossible to make
over two-thirds of the crop of 1904,
and I fear we won’t average it.
8th. Land owners were in good fi
nancial standing at the beginning of
1905, and discouraged by low priced
cotton, did not “get a move” on them
selves, and labor being scarce, wages
twice as high at times, work very
heavy, and price of cotton low. crops
were badly cultivated.
9th. The above bad conditions of
1905 render it possible to make only
a short crop oi cotton this year, and
therefore, can’t make over 9,750,000
bales.
10th. While there being a great
deal of guano used this year. 1903,
the leaching was enormous and Gen.
Crabgrass very nearly cleaned up the
balance, threfore the plant did not
get much food this time and will not
make much crop.
11th. All of the crop of 1905 will he
gathered partly unmatured, owing to
want of moisture, &c.
12th. Under above good conditions,
we cannot produce a crop exceeding
10.000,000 bals.
13th. The stalk lias from one to
four locks this year to the boll.
14th. And one extreme never fol
lows another as a general rule. My
estimation is 9,750,000 bales, based
on these fourteen common sense reas
ons. w. r. l.
A Bit of History.

Help the Blind.
To whom it may concern:
T . L. Martin, Limestone’s piano
tuner, is soliciting work in Gaffney.
Please patronize him, because he un
derstands his business, because his is
trying to help himself, ami because he
lias a wife and six children to support.
If you help him he will appreciate it.
God never intended that his unfortu
nate children should lack for any good
things.
Respectfully,
T. L. Martin.
