We hope, however, that the drug did not take effect and |hat our neighbor is at least able to sit, up and take notice. • * * At the Edgefield county conventiop last Monday some one introduced a resolution requestin’' James H. Till man, the assassin of N. G. Gonzales, to run for congress from that district. T" borrow the words of a distinguish ed North Carolinian. "There is no ac counting for taste, as the Rowan county boy said when lie kissed the calf.” or words to that effect. * • • On account of delay in receiving cuts from the engraver it has become necessary for us to postpone the In dustrial Edition until next week. We regret this very much, as the edition has already been delayed too long. We have all the type set and every thing in readiness and are slmplv walt/ing on the cuts, without which the edition would be incomplete. • • • As yet there has heeai no move made towards a Fourth of July cele bration at Gaffney. Well, there is one thin?' certain, and that is, we canndt hope to have a successful and cred- itable celebration if we put off the preparations until the last moment, if we intend to celebrate let us do It right or not at all. We don’t sub scribe to this half-hearted manner of recognizing Uhe great and glorious fourth. * * * That’s an interesting story The Hed ger tells in another column of the new hotel that is to he built in Gaffney. It’s no myth, either, for any one of tJhe five men interested is financially able to carry the thing through, while their combined cani al represents more than the combined capital of any other five men in Gaffney. Here’s to the new hotel, and also to the progressive gen tlemen who thus exhbiiti their faitih in the future of Gaffney. • * • We have just road "John S. Ezell, I'" and Times," by H. P. Griffith, and We unhesitatingly pronounce it one of the most captivating biogra phies we iiUv'e ever read. Prof. Grif fith has written in liis most charming manner concerning a most charming character. He catches the attention of the reader in the first chapter and holds on until the last, during which time lie tells of the unwavering lo^- altv of a Godly man to God and hu manity. It will do anyone good to read it. Mr. Ed. Ezell, at the South ern depot, has a few copies of the booklet on hand. * * • | The dispensary organs last week! were slapping themselves on the back ; because of an article that eminated from heaven knows where to the ef fect that the dispensary forces had organized in York county and would, send delegates to the county conven-1 tion m oust Senator Brice, author of the Brice bill, from the county chair manship. Their rejoicing was short \ lived, however, for when the conven tion met not only was Mr. Brice re elected chairman but resolutions en dorsing his course were passed, ap-1 ”°nt]v unanimously. We don’t know it to be true, hut judging from wliat | we see and hear in Cherokee the dis-. pensaryites win have a long and is the easiest and most effective stumpy row to hoe before they can form of cod liver oil. Here’s « again place the dispensary yoke about ii;itlirul order of things that the necks of the people who have shows wliy Scott’s Emulsion is displayed enough throw it off. Week Ending 8 A day, May, 7th, 1906. The temperature for the week av eraged from four to five degrees above the normal, but the weather was much cooler, with the temperature slightly below normal at the end of the week. The State maximum temperature was it4 degrees at Blackvllle on the 2nd and 3rd, and at Bowman and at Sum merville on the 2nd. The 2nd was the hottest day of record. Including a pe riod of thirty-six years, for the first week In May at Charleston. The State mlmlmum temperature was 53 degrees at Greenville on the 5th. The minimum temperatures for the week ranged from 53 t<> 72 degrees. There was about an average amount of sunshine along the coast sections but over the centra] and western coun ties there was an excess of cloudiness, with frequent light showers and some heavy pains. At a number of places in the western half of the State, the rainfall was nearly twice the normal amount, but over the eastern half of the State generally, there was a mark ed deficiency in precipitation, and in a few localities droughty conditions are reported to exist. Showers set in over the western and central counties during the afternoon and night of the fith that developed into steady rain during the morning of the 7th, and It was still raining over the entire State as the week ended. Tho rainfall for tihe last two days is not included in the amounts given under “Observers’ Reports,” but is included in tho “Special rainfall reports.” There were hailstorms in a few western counties on the 3rd. Mr. Griffith's New Work. Mr. A. W. Griffith was in the city Tuesday visiting his parents, Capt. and Mrs. H. P. Griffith, while en route from Greensboro. N. C., to Spartan burg where he has accepted a posi tion with the central office of the Pa- colet Manufacturing Company which is situated in Spartanburg. Mr. Grif fith was kept busy greeting his many friends here. He has recently re signed his position on the staff of the Greensboro Industrial News to accept the position in Spar tanburg. Mr. Griffith is immensely popular In Gaffney and his many friends will be glad to learn of his new position which placos him nearer home. Mr. Griffith enjoys the distinc tion of being numbered among the best and most painstaking newspaper workers in the South and the news- naper field will lose a valuable man when ho leavs its ranks. South Carolina Diocese. The llfith annual council of the dio cese of South Carolina convened in Grace Episcopal church In Anderson Tuesday night. The intltial sdrmon was delivered by Rev. J. M. Magruder of Spartanburg, who preached from the text: “For as we have many mem bers in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, be ing many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of anobher The central thought of his sermon was that there could be no distinct indi viduality in religion, but that all Christians must be of mutual help and assistance to one another in order to carry out the teachings of Christ. or FOR BOTH One disease of thinness in I children is scrofula; in adufts, consumption. Both have poor blood; both need more fat.; These diseases thrive on lean ness.

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth $4 $5 a gallon, put-on: how much i« another paint worth? Depends on how many gallons you’ve got to put-on, to be equal to one of Devoe. Mr J J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted two houses one coat, five years ago. lead-and-oil, took 40 gallons. Hast summer bought 4ft gallons De voe for same houses; had 1ft gallons left. Mr. N Avery, Delhi, N Y. owns two houses exactly alike: painted one with Devoe; took 6 gallons. The other with some other; took 12 gallons. What’d you give for those off paints? Bear in mind, you’v 0 got to pav for the painting. Yours truly F W Devoe fr Co { 44 New York j P. S.—R. M. Wilkins Hardware Co »ell our mint.

In his article in The Sunday Maga zine. on "Is the Senate Honest?” Sena tor Tillman calls the roll of the dead who have honored the Senate and been honored by it: “Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Hayne, Benton, Trumbull, Seward, Sumner, Blaine.. Ben Hill, Zeb Vance, Hoar, Bamar, Hunter, Ma son. Chase, Breckenrldge, Bayard. Benjamin, Hendricks, Toombs, Cbnk- ling.
