We warrant it would !>« a difficult matter io blend the Charlotte News and tlxe Charlotte Observer. Of course The Herald has confused the Raleigh paper with the Oueen City's morning paper, and wuile it was a natural error it is one that is nevertheless amusing to one acquainted with both papers. • • • lo writing the article concerning the death of Col. Win. Jefferies last Tuesda"' we inadvertently omitted to say that he was survived by one brother, viz: Col. John D. Jefferies, Sr., who. by the way. is one of Cher- koe’s best citizens.

Ga.. to act as secretary of the Chamber of Comr merce, or some organization of that nature, and he does so on the ground that he would rather serve his country at the smaller, salary than to serve a private institution at t':e larger. And the Cotonel is eminently correct. Wo have known him for years. He was one of the best men that ever donned newspaper harness ami he lias made and will continue to make the finest immigration com missioner in the land. W e want him, however, to remember that the best place on earth for good immigrants to locate is in Cherokee county, and remembering it. to send us several thousand. • • • • Just after the drawin" of the jury for the approaching term of court T ie i-odger *took occasion to remark ■l»oa the fact that an attorney rep- r .eutiug George Hasty was nresent at 'lie drawing. We did not question hU, rigi.t to bo there, because it was perfectly legal and there were <^her people present, among whom was at least one lawyer. The inl'eren.ce we meant to draw was that it would pave at least looked better had this representative of llasiv not been uroKciit. The tollowing is the law on tiut subject: Acts of 1902. Rage 1068. Sec. 6: right as we see it. We have pub lished every newspaper comment we could find on the subject, just as we publish every newspaper account we can find that refers to Gaffney, Cher okee, or any of our citizens, and w'e are today publishing the article given the press by C. S. Hervey, alias W. D. Scott. He is an itinerant tele graph operator -ho sympathized with Hasty. We print this article because we want to be fair to Hasty’s Coun sel, Messrs. Butler & Osborne, and because we want to be fair to Hastv himself. The article is not worth anything in the case unless the faers set forth therein can be proven in court. We also said on Tuesday that the story was "faked for the purpose, and circumstantial evidence is that it was written by a Gaffney man in terested in the case.” In the lan guage of our good friend Sam Sar- ratt. “we’ll take it back/’ The cir cumstantial evideneb did not hold a senator and member of the house, and happened about 2 o’clock Sunday mornin" (thou,:h the legislative clock was standing at a few minutes to midnight as a result of the sergeant- at-arms’ frequent application of his' found.

On February 4th, 1906, it was the will of Our Heavenly Father to take from our midst one of the most faith ful and devoted members—Mrs. O. S. Kendrick, of the First Baptist church of Gaffney. S. C.

Pondfteld. Feb. 22.—This entlire communifty was overwhelmed/ with grtof last Friday when the report wasjhircuiafed that Wm. Jefferies was dead, and when the report was confirmed tlhe grief amounted to | almost despiar. The writer having had the pleas ure and profit of a personal acquaint ance with Mr. Jefferies for more than forty years feels safe in saying that while there may be some one in the coownunity or county who will take his place, there is no one that will ever fill Ms place as well as “Es-j nnire” Jefferies filled it. Mr. Jefferies, although in a very: quiet and unassuming wa-. was one of the most charitable m a that we have ever known. We have never known nor beard of Wm.

Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are uving and in good health on one lung. €][ From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not lake it in its old form, hence it did very little.good. They can take SCOTT’S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested arjd absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where t its use must be continuous.
