A VETERAN OF THE SPANISH WAR
Expresses His Great Faith In Pe=ru=na.
Pe-ru-na Is a Tonic Especially
Adapted to the Prevention and Re
lief of All Catarrhal Ailments
Due to the Vicissitudes of
v. Climate and Exposure
Experienced by the
Soldier.
An Old Soldier’s Praise.
Mr.F.R. Cox.Ccntur Oak, I’a., writes:
“I wa.« taken with homorrhapog of tho
stomach and had from ono to three a
year.
“The doctors said my stomach could
not bo cured, and it was only a question
of how soon one of these spells would
kill me, and I’was given up several
times, as they had no hopes for me.
“1 finally wrote to you, and you said
if it was not acancer or a trmor, Peruna
would cure me.
“I commenced taking Peruna right
away, and have never had one of those
•pells since.
“I am an old soldier, one of Phil Sheri
dan’s Rough Riders, and pretty nearly
played out now, but I have a pretty
good stomach again.”
Assistant War Correspondent Rec
ommends Pe-ru-na.
Mr. H. B. Manley, Assistant War Cor
respondent during the war In China,
care “Black and White,” 688 Craig St.,
Montreal, Canada, writes:
“When a man travels In extremely hot
or cold climates, ho realizes how valua
ble a friend he has if ho carries a bottle
of Peruna.
“I know of no article in my traveling
outfit which I have learned to praise
higher.
“If yon are suffering wdth the ex
treme heat, Peruna restores you, or if
you are aftlieted with a cold, la grippe
or bronchitis, Peruna restores you in a
short time.
“Or if you suffer with sleeplessness or
if your appetite is poor, again Peruna
acts as a good, true friend and is the
tonic needed.
“I have tried it for months and am
only too glad to acknowledge it as a
true, loyal standby in times of trouble.
1 do not hesitate to recommend it to all.”

am now at work
every day, and
have gained ten
pounds. I took your Peruna according
to directions and the result was more than
I expected. 1 took no other medicine but
Peruna, and It accomplished all. You
told me In your first letter that you
thought Peruna would cure mo and it
has. I am seventy-three years old and
can attend to my business as usual.”
Col. Arthur L. Hamilton, of tho Seventh Ohio Volunteers, writes
2.'S9Goodalo St., Columbus, O., as follows:
••Besides having the merits of Peruna fully demonstrated In my fam
ily, I have a number of friends who have taken It for catarrh and stom
ach trouble and all unite In praising It As a remedy for catarrh, I can
folly recommend It. ”
In a later letter to Dr. Hartman, Col. Hamilton writes:
“ Wk command used your Peruna during our service In theSpanlsh-
American W ar and / will say this, that If the War Department records are
consulted, It will be found that the casualltles In my regiment were lesi
than In any other regiment of the Army Corps while at Camps Alger,
/Meade am/ Dushnell. The total deaths lr, my regiment, during the seven
monthr.’ service, were seven out of a total number of 1400. I, of course,
cannot he 'n but think that Peruna certainly was a great benefit to my
command.”
In a recewt letter, Col. Hamilton says:
/ have tised Peruna myself and In my family for the last seven years.
I have already written you about the good results / experienced with your
remedy during the Spanlsh-American War. ”
In old age the mucous membranes be
come thickened and partly lose their
function.
ThIs leads to partial loss of hearing,
smell and taste, as well as digestive dis
turbances.
Peruna corrects all this by its efilcient
operation on all the mucous membranes
of tho body.
Ono bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Peruna becomes a life-long
stand-by with old and young.
For free medical advice, address Dr.
R. B. Hartman, President of The Hart
man Sanitarium,Columbus,<>. All cor
respondence held strictly confidential.
Mr. Fred Derseweh, itidgetop, Tenn.,
writes:
“We have been using Peruna for five
years. I believe that it is tho best med
icine that I know of.
“I and mv wife and our thirteen chil
dren do not need any doctor, since we
use Peruna.”
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna lias found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna has no had effect upon the
system, and gradually eliminates ca
tarrh by removing the cause of the
l cal iirrh.
Enulniul’s Former KnetnleN.
The three greatest potentates of mod
ern times have been England’s stremi
ous antagonists—viz, Philip II., Louis
XIV. and Napoleon. Of these three
Napoleon was the most powerful. Phil
ip the most deadly. The leaders under
whom the English rallied against these
world famous monarolls were: First,
Elizabeth and Drake; second, William
and Marlborough; third. Pitt ami Net
•on. The result of the first of tliese
great historic duels was to overturn
the foundations of Spanish empire,
with its dominion over the seas. Its
vast colonial possessions, its claim un
der a papal bull to un exclusive monop
oly of tho new world. The result of the
second was to decide w’bich should be
tha residuary legatee of tbe deceased
Spaulsh power. France or England,
giving In the end the succession to Its
old world dominions to France, Its
trade, maritime supremacy and col
onies mainly to England. The result of
the third was to shatter Napoleon’s
hopes of ascendency by sea and to
force him back on European conquests,
upon projects which related to the old
world and not to the new. Pitt and
Nelson did not disappear till that end
was attained, and England’s part In
the later wars of Napoleon was that,
having, as Pitt said In almost bis clos
ing words, saved herself by her energy
she saved Europe by ber example and
assistance.—Blackwood's Magazine.
NEGROES SHOT IN A BIG RIOT. The leading negroes of tho associa-

in Anderson County.
Anderson, Aug. li).—There is a ne
gro religious association being held
in Shiloh church, about nine miles
south of Anderson. This afternoon a
young negro lad cursed a negro man
and a regular fusilade of bullets fol
lowed. Seven negroes were shot and
one fine mule. It. is probable that
j three or more of the negroes and the
mule will die.
Sheriff Green sent a couple of dep
uties to the scene last night, thinking
probably there would be trouble there
j again. At one o’clock this afternoon
M' > fight commenced in a road in front
1 of the church. Fully 2,000 persons
I are In attendance at the three day as-
1 sociation, and the deputies have se-
! cured the names of at least seventeen
I negroes who took part in the fight,
J although at least, fifty participated.
The deputies are expected here to-
; night and warrants will be issued and
i the oflicers will return to the scene
I tomorow morning and arrest all con-
J nected with the affair.
I It seems that an old grudge has
I been on between several negroes for
1 some time and this grudge culml-
I nated this afternoon. Doctors were
quickly summoned and the wounded
j no'-roes are receiving al the medical
aid possible. It is very probable that
i the association meeting will be brok-
. «*n up tonight, although this Is the
j second day of a three day’s meeting.

The Case of Mr. Morse Not Analo
gous. As There is No Law Aoainst
Political Speaking on the Streets.
To the Citizens of Gaffney am. Chero-
keo County:
The Cherokee News has seen fit to
pay its respects to me in a dirty edi
torial, and I tabe this method of re
plying to the same.
The subject of that article was the
difficulty which occurred between
the police and myself; the action of
the mayor and the police, especially
the mayor. I first thought that I
would not reply, but after thinking
that perhaps some of the readers of
the dirty sheet might not know me.
and thus form a wrong opinion of the
situation, of affairs in Gaffney I have
concluded to reply. It is a pitv that
anyone should re' "'rt to such meas
ures to discharge their venom. I will
not relate the cause which brought
about the friction between the offi
cers and myself. That may come out
later, when I will give a full account
of it. As for Officer Lemons, he was
not on duty at the time of the diffi
culty, due to the action of the town
council the night before. From what
I had said to him a few days prev
ious Officer Lemons, backed by his
aggrieved friend who had erred on
March 5th, was trying to do me dirt.
I am satisfied that had it not been for
his interferring there would have been
but little said or done. I afterwards
explained in the mayor’s court that
Thomas Lockhart, my nephew, and
myself had a misunderstanding, and
had sparred or struck at each other.
I could not say whether wo struck
each other or not. However, our in-
tenlions were good. My brother,
Worth, seized me around the waist
and said: “You are mv brother, and
shall n<>t fight, nor shall anyone light
you.” I asked him to release me, as
he was hurting me. My son Deaver
came up and pulled him loose, and
shoved him off. not knowing what
had happened before this. I have my
doubts if anything more would have
been done or said if it had not been
for this aggrieved partv interfering.
The News said I “made a political
speech near the place where I had
a preacher arrested during my other
term as mayor,” and that I said “put
'' if every court house officer and put
in others.” I did talk on the street,
near where Rev. Dick Morse was ar
rested. Morse had several bie boxes
piled up on one of our main street
crossings and was mounted upon
them, talking, when I sent an officer
to him to have him move them. Ho
defied the officer and said no one
could make him move. I sent the
officer bacb with instruction- to ar
rest him if he persisted, and to put
him under bond. He was arrested and
brought before me for violating one
of our ordinances. After having a
talk with him 1 told the clerk to take
the ordinance book and turn to page
sixty-three, section forty-one, which
reads as follows: “That hereafter
before anv person shall be allowed to
preach or lecture on any of the
streets, alleys or squares, or other
public places, he or she shall obtain
a permit so to do from the mayor of
ilie town.’’ Mr. Morse plead guilty.
I also had page seventy-one. section
seventv-two of the ordinance read,
and Mr. Morse Plead guilty of vio
lating this ordinance. 1 told Mr. Morse
that I h&d no doubt but that he was
trying to do some good, therefore 1
would not. fine him. I don’t think I
have seen Mr. Morse since. If my
memory serves me right I was told
by a former mayor that tills law was
passed to hold down Dick Morse and
another gentleman, who, shortly af
ter the law was passed, was sent to
the asylum. This man is now at
home a good citizen. This, I suppose,
is the ordinance the Cherokee News
was referring to my having broken.
I was asked by the mob, as The
News calls them, to make a speech. I
hea-d no objection. If I had I don’t
suppose I would have made the talk.
I did not see any member of the coun
cil standing sanctioning what I said.
This party who wrote the editorial
in the News must have been one of
the mob. as he calls them, and saw
more than anyone else. Smart Alex
generally see and know more than
other people. When summed up they
know but little. We don’t have
t< go to Chicago to find anarchists.
We can find them nearer home. An
other one of his preachers h-i has so
much sympathy for Is Bill Dawkins,
whom I tried on Monday after this
trouble on Saturday. Bill has been
before me three times since March.
The first case was for .beating his
neice and running her off from his
lioiise after night. 1 think that it was
[>no of the most aggravated cases that
has come before me since I have been
mayor. The second case was for be
ing drunk on one of the main streets
on Sunday and raising a row and re
sisting an officer. The third case was
the one in which The News said I was
so cruel in m> sentence. In this case
liill had onlv knocked his wife down
with a stick of wood while he was
drunk, and when his daughter went
in he and his wife were down on the
floor fighting. I lined Bill $15 or thir
ty day’s work. He took the days. He
asked me to let him work his fine out
on the streets. I gave him his free
dom on the streets and told him he
could get rations from the town while
he was working out his flue. These
are the kind of preachers The Chero
kee News looks after. I don’t sup
pose they know I had refused to give
Mormon preachers permission to
preach on the streets or they would
have had something to say about that
I never have refused a preacher or
lecturer permission, except when the
Mormon preachers came. I told them
that it would not meet the approval
of the people. Therefore I did not
grant them permission. The News
said I said “to clean out the court
house; some had been there lomg
enough.” If all were cleaned out I
would loose one or two votes. One,
I know, if not two. They said I said.
“So long as I am mayor I expect to
hew to the line, let the cMtk fall
where they may.” I still say. so. I
think the worse mistake I have ever
made in my life was in allowing my
friends to persuade me to put by an
nouncement for mayor in The News.
All that I have ever road before or
since in that sheet, until now. was to
see if they had my announcement
c'-rrect. While looking for mv an
nouncement I found a niece praising
a certain individual. They called
him a model. Christian gentleman.
This is the man who now seeks to de
vour me. He is angry with me lie-
cause he asked me to let him sell his
Beef, Iron and Wine, something I con
sidered wore than whiskey. 1 told
him I had not the authority to do so.
He said lie would sell it anyway, on
prescription.
If the people of this State and
county believe the slanderous utter
ances of The Cherokee News, they
that believe, and the one who wrote
the piece, don’t believe in honesty,
justice and fair dealing.

No business can possibly be
successful that is not adver
tised.
This is a sweeping statement,
but it is true. There are «ome
merchants in this community
whose experience apparently
contradicts the statement.
The contradiction, however,
is only apparent. If they have
attained ar.y decree of success
they have advertised. They have
let people know what they had to
sell, what they were here for and
what they proposed to do. Just
in proportion to the thorough
ness with which they have done
this and • met the conditions of
their competitors they have suc
ceeded.
If they have used the newspa
pers they have v’orked with the
best tools so far as getting pub
licity is concerned. If they have
worked without the newspapers
they have been handicapped and
have not attained the highest
possible measure of success.
A fertile seed planted in fertile
ground, careluUy wuieicU, will thrive
end Lear fruit.
A properly organized business,
in any inhabited place, well advertised
will succeed. The law of
growth is as certain and inexorable in
one case as tbe other.
