- m m MISS, t' m & •‘PE-RU-IMA WORKED SIMPLY MARVELOUS/ Suffered Severely With Headaches— Unable to Work. Miss Lucy V. McGivney, 452 8rcl Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: “For many months I suffered se verely from headaches and pains In the side and back, sometimes being unable to attend to my dally work. “/ "f/n better, now, thanks to Peru- ua, and am as active as ever and have uo more headaches. “The way Peruna worked In my case was simply marvelous.” We have In our flies many grateful letters from women who have suffered with the symptoms named above. Lack of spare prevents our giving more than one testimonial here. It is Impossible to even approximate thegreat amount of suffering which Pe runa has relieved, or the number of women who have been restored to health and strength by its faithful use. Short Local Items. Av leather today: partly cloudy. Cotton market yesterday: 11 cents. Dr. J. T. Darwin has purchased the home place from Dr. D. P. Thomson. This is one of the most desirable homes in the city, and with the im provements contemplated by Dr. Dar win it will become one of the most beautiful. An accident to third No. 82, a South ern freight, between Gaffney and Blacksburg yesterday delayed No. 11, the southbound local passenger of the Southern over an hour. This train is due in Gaffney at 3.52. The acci dent to the freight occurred about the engine, the track being blocked by the crippled train for some time. Hon. J. C. Otts and Col. T. B. But ler were engaged this week in secur ing rights of way for the proposed new railway. Mr. Otts when seen by a Ledger reporter stated that uo dif ficulty whatever was experienced in securing the rights and that the in terest was strong in the new venture. In his opinion no obstacles should arise to block the speedy end of the line. The closing exercises of the second grade of Central school, of which Miss Bessie Kendrick is the competent teacher, took place in her class room at the Central school yesterday after noon at 4 o’clock. Tjhe attnactive program arranged for the occasion was carried out in faultless style by the children, reflecting great credit and pointing to unremitting efforts on the part of Miss Kendrick. A horse hitched to a dray wagon of Coroner J. S. Vinesett caused quite a little amusement and not a few spasms of fear among ? number of spectators yesterday afternoon just off Limestone street, when the horse while driving suddenly evinced a vio lent desire to kick. The kicking con tinued until the horse was unhitched and powers of pursuasion used to stop this action on the ^art of the beast. When he was rehitched the inter rupted draying was resumed without further incident. Deadly Serpent Bite* f are -w- common in India as are stom ach and liver disorders with us. For the latter, however, there is a sure remedy: Electric Bitters the great restorative medicine, of which S. A. Brown, of Bennettsvllle, S. C., says: “They restored my wife to perfect health, after years of suffering with dyspepsia and a chronically torpid liver.” Electric Bitters cure chills and fever, malaria, biliousness, lame back, kidney troubles and bladder dis orders.

In after life, while hemmed in by the limitations of his terrible afflict ion, he found his solitude brightened by this great luminous image of the sun, burned deep in the tissues of the brain under a mother’s loving care. We shall, sooner or later, find our feet £low to do their bidding and our circle of endeavor win narrow be cause of physical limitations. Friends, in whose companionship we found joyous repose and grateful comfort, will Pass out of our lives. The voca tions in which we found pleasure will cease to interest, incentives to labor will be set aside by prosperity or ad versity and with the passing days each individual will be thrown more and more upon himself and upon his God. What preparation are we making fo- this eventuality? What gladden- facts have w P burnt into our abid ing consciousness? We may have used our time wisely, measured by the world's coinage, and may have seen “Success” written over the door that marks the entrance to region of self. But when alone within, what boots the legend on the outer portal? In looking to the future, peace will come if there has been a full obedi ence to the injunction of the prophet '■'ioah “to do justly and to love mercy, nd to walk humbly with thy God.” But the present—that one thing of il that's real—that one instant from >v,'ich there is no escapement—what Joes it have for the hermit’s solace? Did he have in those days when the eyes were open and the mind recept ive, a single ray of light making an impulse—-a single interest to claim his time? If so its image is doubtless clouded by the dust arising from the olitarv path so persistently followed. 0>- did toe luminous suns of knowl edge—a galaxy of truth—shine upon tne earlier ii \ driving the darkness from the ir.’i rmost recesses of the brain? In that event he who sits alone is not ai< ne. The philosophies of the ancients t .re his- the literatures of all times conn* in response to a silent call; the art treasures of the world pass before the in-turned eyes and all sciences tread their mystic way from cause to effect amrcomplete their cycle in majestic conclusions. It is then that the account with the younger self is balanced. It may have failed to provide a shelter for the weary frame—the State will do th.\t. It may have neglected food and raiment for the aged body—friends can murnish that. But if the mind is ahungered, if ideas come with lageard steps and coming fail to find response, who is to blame? Where lies the fault? I saw a small boy walking along the street with no one near and think ing intently of past joys or hope of pleasure, he stumbled over an unno ticed obstacle and fell. It’s never agree able to stumble. It hurts one’s pride to fall, for it’s a confession of infe riority and a tribute unwillins-ly paid to soulless gravity. The boy, thus humiliated, could not even acknowl edge to himself that his wounded k. ee and wounded pride came through any fault of his, for as he arose he defiantly exclaimed: “Who pushed me?” It was the heritage of Adam—a her itage that has never lapsed since that first attempt in Eden’s garden to blame anothei—a heritage that will continue as long as there remain the two persons to constitute the. blamer and the blamed. A man has amassed a competency and finding tedious the vocation that had brought him wealth concludes to retire—to take life easy, is the nhrase. The days no longer are nev er full. Weariness comes when all is rest, and so to find pleasures to take the place of toil, travel is suggested, and the unwilling feet are made to bear the listless eyes and unrespon sive brain from continent to conti nent, from place to place. Countries mean nothing beyond their geograph ic names. Cities are classed as clean or foul, cheap or expensive, be cause their traditions and their histo ries are alike unknown. The art treas- uies make mute appeals to a speech less soul and music falls upon leaden ears. Back to work! ploads the man having eyes that can see not and ears that hear not. Back to the affairs of life! cries the weary searcher for worldly pleasures. The new mode of life does not ac count for this futile seeking. Strange conditions are not responsible for the home longing. Does he ask, “Who "ushed me 0 ” Does be wondqr what is to blame for findhr it hard to take life easy? Perhaps if a backward glance could be directed to the boyhood days when secret vows were made to win sue cess there would be found recorded pledges to devote every energy to the pursuit or a single purpose and re gard as wasted time a moment’s con slderation of other topics. The face might glow and the eyes might flash with pride at the well kept vow and the soul rejoice over the material success. One hour a day in the receptive youth given to history and literature and art might have delayed a year or more the laying down of life’s activ ities, but in the leisure hours of the intervening time, the mind harrassed by the daily cares, couH have found delightful rest. The countries visited would have seemed like the unrolling of memory’s charts and each river and town would take their allotted place. Along the streets of every city historic figures would seemingly pass as the mind reviewed the stirring scenes enacted here in the years gone. Traditions would animate cheerless castles and gorgeous pa ge nts would people every public square. The art galleries would be senti- ont symbols of soul sensations and the music heard be the echoes of the heart, throbs of younger days. The alternate pictures here so crudely drawn are rejections of ex periences daily seen. One should stand before us as a warning—the other should plead the cause of cul ture and press home the conviction that it is not all of life to live nor does death await the failing breath. The graduate should not close the door of learning and standing without the temple of knowledge view its stately proportions, thinking that all Is done. Rather feel that on the broad foundation laid, books contain but few enigmas, allusions keen and subtile, call pleasing facts from memory’s chamber. Current events are doubly valued through historic analogies, and both cartoons and painting awaken thoughts of myth and story. Then read wisely, well. Practise those accomplishments so dearly bought. Cultivate the graces of heart and mind that are the fruitage of the college course. Cares will come and duties call: meet the one and obey the other, but think of the day of lengthening shadows; remember the hour of self-dependence; keep alive your Interest in other’s weal—in oth ers woe; give generously from your store of knowledge and be not miser- of your soul sympathy, for- verily ‘there is a giving that increaseth and a withholding that is more than is mete, but it tendeth to poverty.” PERSONAL PARAGR/PH8.

Dear Sir: Mr N Avery, Delhi, N Y, had two houses exactly alike, anc, painted them: one Devoe lead-and- zinc the other barytes-and-zinc. He paid same price f^r both paints. He used six gallons of lead-and- zinc, 12 gallons barytes-and-zinc. He paid J18 for painting lead-and zinc, $36 for painting barytes-and zinc. The total cost of the lead-and-zinc job was $27; the total cost of the barytes-and-zinc job was $54. He didn’t know he was buying barytes; the dealer told him than paint was as good as Devoe. A fair example of how it generally comes-out, when you buy “something lust as good.” Better go by the name and the name is Devoe. Yours truly F W Devoe & Co 50 New York P. S.—R. M.

Have we people in Gaffney who are so small and hide-bound as to block or hinder an enterprise or en terprising people? If so, they ought to sten aside and let the enterpris- insr man come to the front, for they are the ones who help all; and while our town is in a growing mood let it kee climbing. Citizen.
