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.

DEATH OF MRS. 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.

that Mrs. W. 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

JjYiday night we spent with Hon. C.

MJUNSPRIHC OF LIFE.
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. Gaffney Drug Co.
