NIGHTLY MEETINGS HELD AT
COURT HOUSE.
A Series of Undenominational Meet
ings Conducted by the Crusaders
Drawing Large Crowds.
In accordance with God’s a.lwise
Providence, the Christian Crusaders
have come to Gaffney and have en
tered upon a series of undenomina
tional gospel meetings, in the court
house, in behalf of the unsaved of
v the towft and surrounding country.
Their opening service ~was held
Friday night, December 1st. General
Light made an introductory address
stating the mission of the Christian
Crusaders, explaining their methods
of work and introduced his band to
the people. He also asked the co
operation of all Christians in this un-
^ denominational effort to rescue the
|PF'*perishing, and augment the church of
Christ.
That God is in the movement and
His seal upon the work, is evident
from the success with which He has
blessed the labors, of these workers
in other fields amr what has already
been done since the meeting began
here. The weather has been rather
unfavorable since the opening service,
but, regardless of this fact, the attend
ance on all the services has been ex-,
ceedingly good. The Holy Ghost has
been doing His office work of “con
victing of sin, of righteousness and of
judgment to come,” and twenty-eight
unsaved ones have manifested an in
terest in their soul’s salvation by the
uplifting hand. In the second meet
ing one man, seventy-eight years of
age, was so much concerned about
the eternal welfare of his soul that
he humbled himself before God at the
altar and cried audibly for mercy. “I
have been''a great sinner, a drinking
man for a number of years, but God
has now forgiven me and I’ll drink
no more rum,” were the words which
came from his lips after the Lord had
spoken peace to his soul.
On Sunday afternoon General Light
preached more especially to the pro
fessed Christians on hearttoackslid-
ing, from Rev. 2:1-5. He made a
practical application of the text to
the Christians present, and exhorted
them, if they discovered, under the
search light of the Holy Spirit, that
they had left their first love, “to re
pent and do the first works.”
Tuesday night the faith of God’s
children who were present in the
u meeting was rewarded with two pre
cious souls at the altar. One of them
, a man who is to quite a commendable
^ extent in the ministerial^ circle. He
did not come to the mercy seat, not be
cause he felt that he was not a Chris-
. tian, but for the reason that he had
not been so fully consecrated to God
as he should have been. He openly
acknowledged his condition and God
gave him complete rest and satisfac
tion. His honesty in making this con
fession is worthy of comment and his
courage in presenting himself before
God at the mercy seat much to be ad
mired. His example is worthy of imi
tation.
This is hut the beginning of what
God will do in the weeks to cpme, if
all the Christians will lose sight of
non essentials, denominational doc
trines, individual tenets and methods
and will unitedly preach and teach
the essential doctrines set forth in
God’s Word. The motto of the Chris
tian people of all the churches in the
community should he: Gaffney and
the surrounding country for God.

dance states, may prove serious.

ONLY GUARANTEED CATARRH
CURE.
“Hyomej Costs You Nothing If It
Fails,” Says the Gaffney Drug Co.
Among the many medicines upon
the market that claim to cure catarrh
none but Hyomej has enough faith in
its own merit to offer to refund the
money if it does not cure.
This scientific remedy lor catarrh
kills the microbes and germs of the
disease and from its introduction has
been sold under a positive guarantee
to return the money to all dissatis
fied customers.
Hyomel is the only method of
treatment that sends by direct inhal
ation to the most remote parts of the
air passeges, a balsamic air that de
stroys all catarrhal germs in the
breathing organs, enriches and puri
fies the blood with additional ozone,
and makes permanent and complete
cures of catarrh.
The complete outfit cots $1.00 and
comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hy-
omei and a dropper. The inhaler will
last a lifetime, and additional bottles
of Hyomol can be obtained for 50
cents.
Breathe Hyomel for a few minutes
fout, times a dav. and your catarrh
will grow better from the first day’s
use, and will be completely cured
witin a short time.
Do not try to cure catarrh with or
dinary stomach medicines. Breathe
the healing Hyomel which goes to
every part of the air passages and
respiratory organs, killing the catarrh
germs and preventing their growth.
It Is the only treatment for catarrh
where you can get your money back
from a local dealer, The^Gaffney Drug
Co., in case It does not help.

RAVENNA LETTER.
TRAGEDIES FOLLOW RAPIDLY.
CIRCULATED RUMOR DENOUNCED
' ^ AS FALSE.
At the Theatre.
The Kenndy Players have been at
the Star Theatre for the past four
nights and will be there tonight and
tomorrow night. They will also give
a matinee performance tomorrow af
ternoon at which the prices will be
10c for children and 20c for adults.
We unhesitatingly recommend the
Kennedy Players as being the best
popular price organization that has
ever been in Gaffney, and they deserve
crowded houses at each and every per
formance. The comedy work of Mr.
John J. Kennedy is splendid, while the
support is entirely adequate. The
players are all clean and clever, and
those who fail to attend are missing
a re«ily good thing at a really small
price. The specialties alone are
worth the money.
Nothing But Moriey.
Those who know Abbot Davison, oi
acting fame, often get better than
they expect. His play giants have
collaborated and named their off
spring “Nothing But Money.” Th»>
name is believed to simply signify
the play’s success; the combination
formed to exploit It being one with
which theatre-goers of experience
never tire, new beginners never get
enough. The stage magnetism of
“Old Sport Davie,” is here seen at its
best; how good that is, audiences
throughout the entire country have
given all possible evidence an 1 seem
anxious to give more. It need not be
said that “Nothing But Money” is to
be made occasions ol unremitting joy;
there is not a tear in a year of it, but
its fun is clean while sparkling, made
by principals of known repute sup
ported by actors famous in their pro
fession. A musical comedy that pre
sents music and com dy in what is
sT’d of “Nothing But Money," and
its producers a^e entitled to all
that they can get. This company will
be at the Star Theatre, Thursday, De
cember 14th.
A Fearful Fate.
It is a fearful fate to have to endure
the terrible torture of Piles. “I can
truthfully say,” writes Harry Colson,
of Masonville, la., “that for Blind,
Bleeding, Itching and Protuding Piles,
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, is the best
cure made.” Also best for cuts, burns
and injuries. 25c at Cherokee Drug

Mr. Parham Denies that He Left a
Wife in the Philippines and Sub-1
stantiates His Assertions.
Ed. Lgeder: —
I have just learned that the rumor
has been circulated for some time
| around Pacolet and Ravenna that I
was married while in the Philippines
and left a wife there. In behalf of
myself, my wife and our relatives and
friends, I take this means of declaring
this report to be utterly false, un
founded and uncalled for; and, in my
estimation, no one hut a low-minded,
ignorant wretch would circulate such
a vile slander against an Innocent per
son.
I came here a total stranger but
have been associated with, and have
made many friends among the most
j highly respected people of the county,
: whose friendships and hospitality i
; hold in the highest esteem. I am
I proud to say that I have been so for-
! tunate as to win the heart and hand
of one so noble, pure and true and one
whose love I shall always prize be
yond any earthly treasure. She is
i from one of the best families of the
icounty and they spared no pains to
' thoroughly search for information re
garding my character, standing, etc.,
and had it not been proved beyond
any reasonable doubt that my per
sonal character and family record for
generations hack were pure and spot
less, I could not have man led into
the family that l did. If the people
who are now, or have been, circulat
ing this report would travel a little
mora^and get out of the community
in which they were reared, or even if
! they would read more and inform
themselves, they could utilize their
time at something more beneficial
j than circulating infamous reports and
■ showing their ignorance to the general
! public by making statements that are
! contrary in every respect to the laws
' of our own land.
In case any of the guilty parties
I should see this, I would like to en
lighten them as to what it means to
an American to leave the Philippine
Islands. First, an American leaving
there for the United States or ,ary
other country, has to secure a clear
ance from both military and civil
governments, before he can secure
passage on any passenger boat. ~In
order for a man to get this clearance
he must not be indebted to anyone,
and if he is married he must secure
transportation for his wife if it is
not his intention to return.
The laws of the Philippines com
pel every American marrying a Fili
pino woman, in case he wishes to
visit the United States and his Wife
Joes not accompany him, he must
register his departure, what place or
places he is to visit in the United
States, when he will return, etc. He
must also leave ample provision for
his wife for a period of so many years.
Our government deserves much credit
for the protection of the ignorant Fili
pino women who might be induced by
worthless American men to marry
them with the intention of living
with them only during their .stay in
the Phlippine Islands. To any one
wishing to find my character and con
duct in the Islands, I respectfully re
fer them to the Honorable Luke E
Wright, civil governor of the PhiUp
pine Islands, Adjutant General Cor
bin, U. S. A. division of the Philip
! pines, Manila, P. I., C. W. Davison
chief operator Central Telegraph of
fice, Manila, P. I., Ira L. Davis, chief
inspector civil government telegraph
lines, Pangasinan Province.P. I., with
headquarters at Dagupan, Luzon Is-
lan i, P. I. I have no doubt but that
any of the above mentioned would
take pleasure in furnishing any in
quisitive party necessary references,
as my record is recorded in both the
I military and civil government records.
The log of Central Telegraph office,
Manila. P. I., will show my record as
to stability and punctuality as I was
on duty as operator there for two
years and four months, without miss
ing a day, including holidays.
As to my family record, I refer to
any of the Union county or State of
ficials of North Carolina. I stand
ready and willing to compare my
family record and personal character
with any one. Heretofore I have
passed unnoticed all rumors, but
when it comes to any Reflection Upon
my character, I will not tolerate it
any longer, and as the one or ones
who circulated these rumors have not
manhood enough to come to me with
them, this is the only way I have to
check them. There is a good rule
some people should follow: “Never
trouble trouble, until trouble troubles
you,” and I would advise some of the
tale hearers to follow same. If ever
again I hear of anY rumors reflecting
upon me or mine, I shall put forth
every effort to have the guilty ones
tpunished to the full extent of the law.
“A word to the wise is sufficient
aiid fools should take warning.
