Dear old Greenville has followed the footsteps of Cherokee, having voted out the dispensary by a vote of 3 to 1. Welcome to the ranks of the free and the brave, Greenville. • ft * Gosh! Uncle Ben is got his wish. He said he wanted about a dozen counties to vote out the dispensary, and they have gone and done it. Now we wonder if he wants another dozen to go and do likewise? * • • And now comes Greenville, steppin' high. ’Tis of her walk the way; She voted out the G. M. I. With a whoop, last Tuesday. How’s that, Messrs. Charlotte Ob server and Anderson Mail? * • • The development of the Broad river water power recently sold by the Gaffney Manufacturing Co. would mean more for Gaffney than any en terprise contemplated in years. We sincerely trust that the purchasers may soon begin this important work. • • • The write-up of Orangeburg in last Sunday’s Columbia State was a most creditable piece of journalism. The matter was prepared by Mr. J. E. Norment, and the subject matter dis closes the fact that his fertile brain has lost none of its cunning by reason of confinement in the governor’s of fice. • • • The announcement has been made that Messrs. D. A. Tompkins and J. P. Caldwell, owners of the Char lotte Observer, have acquired a con trolling interest in the Greenville Daily News. This is interesting to the readers of The News, for it means a better morning paper for the Moun tain City. • * • A few more cases of frenzied finan ciering such as that of Messrs. W. B. Smith Whaley, J. Keith Dargan and Thos. C. Duncan will make moneyed men gun shy of South Caro lina investments. It’s better to go a little slower and be a little more se cure than to be Napoleonic in charac ter and at last suffer defeat. • • • We are in receipt of a copy of The Southern Field, published at Athens, Ga., by Messrs. T. Larry and Yancey L. Gantt, formerly of the Headlight, Spartanburg. The Southern Field is a stunner. It fias more reading m ter than any otner weekly we have ever seen. The Messrs. Gantt know how to get out a good, readable paper and they are demonstrating this fact in a most practicable manner. We wish them all manner of success. ■ • • This thing of attacking any official in office, unless he does Something criminally wrong, Is not exactly right. Every citizen should lend his support to the administration so long as the administration does t ie very best it can do, whether he agree with the administration or not. Certain it is that the present town council have not had a rosy path to trod and it does not appear to us that it is magnani mous to make their burden heavier when we could do something to make it lighter. • • • The following from the Clinton Ga zette is such good advice that we unhesitatingly produce it with hearti est commendation: We believe there is no safer invest ment for a young man nowadays than the investment of his savings in the old Pine fields of the Piedmont sec tion of South Carolina. No matter how thin and worn out the old red hills may seem, every one should own a few acres to fall back' on and im prove upon in future times when, we truly opine, the owner and tiller of the small farm will be the most in dependent and happy man of all. Young man, buy a small farm and im prove it. Don’t be, like too many others, over-eager to move to town and “live by your wits.’’ Arrested for Peonage. Deputy United States Marshal A. L. Hallman returned Tuesday from near Blacksburg wherd he arrested John Martin, Thomas Martin and El len Martin, who live in the northeas tern part of Cherokee county, on a charge of peonage. They are all white and are charged with holding a colored youth, Fitzhugh White, in peonage/ They were carried before U. S. Commissioner Trescott at Blacksburg and released on a $500 bond each, for their appearance be fore him for a hearing Monday. This is quite a serious charge, and is probably the first case of its kind on record in Cherokee county. $ioo Reward, $ioo. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded dis ease that science has been able tc -mre In all itsstiiges and that IsOatarrh. Hall’sGatarrh Cure Is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be nsr a constitutional disease, requires a constitu tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith In its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimoniuls. ^ ~ Address, P. J.

Scruggs, who lives in the western part of Cherokee county was burned between eight and ten o’clock Wed nesday night with a loss of three cows, and all his corn and forage. He had $110 Insurance. The fire is sup posed to have resulted from the act of an Incendiary. This is the third fire which has occurred in this neigh borhood within the last twelve mbnths. the other two being on the land of M. J. Hicks, and for the burning of which George Camp, who is now in North Carolina, was tried. wer* If You Can't Every Two Minute, Physicians tell us that all the blood in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes. If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott’s Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT’S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott’s Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even be fore you expect it. We will tend you a •ample free.
