That we may gain a clearer under standing of#what position the build ing and loap 'association system has sustained ins the industrial and eco nomic affair^ of the world, perhaps it may not be tamiss to briefly and rap idly sketch, la outline, the hi-tory of such organizations. My friends, It is not easy to flx up on a date when and where these cleties originated. Some writers sert that they existed in a crude tffrm as far back as the Greeks, dtyring S iir Republican form trf governnnent. ter they were said to c*>,'Kiuvug the Anglo-Saxons In Great Britain. But the earliest authentic information we have is that a society for the pur- qhaslng of dwellings was formed in Birmingham, Eng., in 1781. So bene- Ictal were they, and in such popular faxor did they grow, that England has today perhaps no less than 50,000 sock institutions, with a capital in sahscribed shares of probably two bil lion dollars, and a membership of two ■riflloB stockholders. la this country Peaasylranla was the original home of the building and loan association. The first one was organized In 1831 at what Is now a suburb of Philadelphia, called Frank fort, and today oyer 100,000 homes in Philadelphia and its environs stand to the credit of the great home build ing idea. In such favor have building and loan associations grown in frany States, where their benefits have been demonstrated, that special favorable legislation has been enacted, alnong which is exemption from the burdens of taxation, even from the opeiatlon of usury laws. Friends, it wll no doubt be surprising to you to learn that while these associations receive their life and their being frojn the wage-earning classes paying veeklv the small sum of 25 cents peF share, that the combined amount of sub scribed shares was on the 31st of December. 1902 (the latest official re port obtainable), the colossal gum of $600,000,000. From a money stand point these institutions ire second only in importance to the combined paid-in capital of all the national banks in the United Stater, vhicb at that date was $750,000,0(0, or only $150,000 more.

KENDRICK. The End Came Peacefully After * Lingering Illness. The news of the death of Mrs. O. B. Kendrick cast a gloom o/er the city yesterday morning. Mrs. Kendrick has been in ill health for some time and for the past few weeks her death had been momentarily expected. Mrs. Kendrick was a Miss Spear before her marriage to Mr. O. S. Ken drick. She was born in what is known as the Union cut-off of Cherokee coun ty, near Skull Shoals. Thirty-one years ago she married Mr. O. S. Ken drick. Five children have come to bless the union, viz: Mrs. Z. A. Robertson, Miss Bessie, Mr. Van, Miss Anna Budd and Master John. All these survive her, as well as her hue- band. She had two brothers, Mr, J. H. Spears, of Union, and Mr. J. J. Spears, of Kelton; also two sisters, Mrs. Ozment, of Jonesville, and Mrs. J. C. Otts, of Gaffney. Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick moved to Gaffney in 1884, .since which time Mrs. Kendrick has been a prominent social and ebureb worker. She was a most consistent member of the First Baptist church, of this city, and the many deeds of charity performed by her will live after her.

Sam Lipscomb had died °f Mr. and Mrs. Joe Estes’ children, er and under the most favorable cir cumstances, even when they live near tiha church. , While on this thought our mind reverts to an incident that fully illus trates the point in question: - During the battle of Sharpsburg, Md. t General Stonewall Jackson’s line was being assaulted with a terrific commanding, accompanied with a like Are of musketv. The general know ing that this was a prelude to the desperate charge which would follow as soon as the firing toNL Mb men %nd staff officers to dismount and protect themselves as best they could and prepare to receive the charge when it came. Mounting bis little sorrel horse he rode along the line with the sang froid characteristic of the man he was. He had gone but a short dis tance when he was called to by an officer who warned him of the danger to which he was unnecessarily expos ing himself. With a benignant smile the general turned to the officer and said, “Duty demands this service of me and I have faith in God to know He can protect me as well here as if I were in my home.” Before the firing ceased General Jackson had present ed himself to his entire line and in spired his men when the ordeal came, as it soon did. his men arose and met and repulsed the charge that other wise may have routed General Lee’s entire army and driven it belter skel ter into the Potomac river. Mr. T. Jeff Hughes spent Saturday with us. He gave the young people a few of his reminiscences which were delightfully entertaining. Some of these we would be glad to give our readers if we have the opportunity. We spent most of la^t week in the town of Gaffney and vicinity imme diately surrounding it.

No One Can be Strong With a Weak Stomach The Gaffney Drug Co. Tell How It May be Strengthened. The stomach is the mainspring of life. When it is strong and acts per fectly, then the whole system is right assimilation is perfect, and body and brain are thoroughly nourished. One may perbaps get temporary re lief from stomach troubles by using pensin, or some other dlgestant, but this treatment has no curative effect It does not reach the seat of the trouble and remove the cause. How much better to use Mi-o-na, which restores lost functions of the whole digestive system, revives flag ging nutrition, and aids in the as- simulation of food. Mi-o-na is a pleasant remedy to use, and benefit Is seen from almost the first day’s treatment. It restores the torpid glands and stimulates the natural digestive secretions. It decks fermentation, stops germ growth, soothes inflammation, and cures all troubles, such as headaches, backaches, rheumatic pains, furied ♦fmgue, sleeplessness, nervousness, and general debility, which are caused by imperfect digestion. It is the only remedy that Is so uni formly successful in the cure of stom ach diseases that The Gaffney Drug Co. are willing to give a guarantee with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na trt>- lets that the remedy will cost nothing unless it cures. They have so much faith in Ml-o-na that they are willing to take all the risk. Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnec essary actions. Good looks bring happiness. Friends care more for us when we meet them with a clean, smiling, face, bright eyes sparkling with health, which comes by taking Hollister’s Rocky Mountate Tea. 35 cents.
