Mr. J. U. Eskew, Chandler,!
I Okla., writes: “Ijet me thank
you for what your wonderful
curative medicine, Peruna, has
done for me. I had suffered
from catarrh for ten years be-1
fore I took your medicine.”
Miss Marie Pofrel, Pine City, Minn.,
writes: “I had catarrh of the throat
for nearly three months and have
been using different kinds of medi
cines, which did me no good. A
friend advised me to take Peruna,
which I did, and after taking two
bottles 1 was cured. I cannot say
too much in its praise.”

Jones J. Darby,
GAFFNEY, S. C
Tribute of Praise for a Cherokee
County Minister.
The following tribute-to Rev. F. C.
iickson is taken from the Ilaptist
Press, being contributed to that pa-
mr by a friend:
The Rev. F. C. Hickson, of Gaffney,
vho is one of the strongest men in the
iroad River association, has resigned
is pastor of all his churches, and will
est and travel n ‘X year.
Brother Hickson was ordained to
the ministry about .29 years ago has
been preaching ever since he was a
boy and has never taken a day of
rest. He has been pastor of churches
continually since his ordination until
now. except for two years when he
was a missionary in China.
Although he has done extra hard
work in the ministry, preaching every
Sunday and many week dav~ during
taese 29 years, yet he has never got
ten a living out of it except the two
years he was in China. With his
hands and head he has nude eight or
ten thousand dollars besides his sal
ary for preaching all of which he has
used to keep himself “going" In the
ministry. He has given directly into
the treasury of our devotional work,
nearly $2,000.
He ha.s carried more than his share
of the civic burdens of whatever coun
ty he has lived in. He has never re
ceived even expenses for any services
he has rendered the public outside of
the ministry, but has made hundreds
of speeches and given hundreds of
days and traveled hundreds of miles
in interest of civic righteousness, and
he has never taken a dollar of nav for
it all. He does not begrudge any ser-
\Jce he has ever rendered any person
or pause, although he has gotten little
enough thanks for it often times. He
lid it all freely and has had his re-
.vaid and will receive a still greater
me some time.
In these years he has made many
Hends and enough enemies surely.
!{* has been a hard fighter, but has
never fought a single battle for him
self. When men have stricken him
lias borne it. hut when they have
stricken his Lord- or his friends he
has giv< n them the heaviest ami dead
liest blows he could. His own ene
mies have gone unwhipped, but if the
enemies of his Lord and his friends
have escaped it was because he
couldn't whin them. If he lives U> be
70 years old be has nearly as many
years to work as he has already work
ed. He has no plan for those years
and don’t proi os-' to trv to make any.
He is really full ef joy in the thought
that God will tak.; care of them and
himself. He is ready to work and
ready to rest. He is ready to die.
Surely he has done as good work
for God and the State, and may the
Lord use him yefTnore for thQ_advance
of the Kingdom.

the Democratic Primary.
The notice of t’ - genera’ election
for State and county officers has been
sent uitt and the managers for the
various precincts appointed, The
regular election will be held on Tues
day, November <5. and will amount to
nothing more than a ratification of
the result of the Democratic primary.
There will, however, be in the flehi
in practically every district in this
State a Republican nominee for con
gress who stands no show of election.

entitled to vote turn out on Tuesday.

t’ o regular nominees of the oartv as
the contests made biennially at Wash
ington are mainly based on the fact
that there is such a small vote cast n
the general election.
In addition to the election of the
State and county officers, there will be
the constitutional amendment submit
ted to the people. The amendment is
a joint resolution passed bv the last
general assembly and relates to the
bonded indebtedness of Bennettsville.
The amendment will allow the town
of Henuettsville to incur an additional
bonded indebtedness for the purooso
of installing municipal improvements.

following purposes: (1) Governor and
Lieutenant Governor; (2) other State
officers- (3) State senator; (4) mem

The general election does not as a
rule excite much interest ip Gaffney

Two Great Spellers.
(New York World.)
The shades of Noah Webster -and
of Josh Billings, reclining on a fleecy
cloud, received the news by celestial
wire.
“Triumf! Triumf!” cried Billings,
exultantly. “Prezident Rozevelt haz
ordered that the nu spelling must be
uzed in al offishal despatches and
komunlcashums. This is the beginning
of the end. Only a little wile now
and my spelling will be uzed. But wy

“1 grieve when I reflect that by one
fell stroke of ids pen Mr. Roosevelt
has decapitated milliom; of diph
thongs,” answered Mr. Webster, wip
ing his eyes.
"O, cheer up." retorted Billings.
“Be consoled hi the thought, that after
the fonetic alterashuns sanschuned
by the Prezident your dikshonary
will be a more unabridged than ever."
“But there is mv old friend double

GOLDEN NUGGETS FOR SALLOW PEOPLE
Did A s H e Was Told.
An amusing instance of “literal
mindedness” was afforded not long
ago by a bell boy in a hotel in Wash
ington.
One of the guests, a congressman
from the west, had hurried to the ho
tel cb-rk’s counter. He had just ten
minutes In which to pay his bill, reach
the railway station and board his
train.
When he hastily had transacted his
business with the clerk and had turn
ed » dash out of the door, it sudden-
!v occurred to him that he had forgot
ten something. “Here, boy!” shouted
he to a diminutive negro on the
bench, “run to room No. 48 just as
quick as you can and see whether I
have left a box on the bureau. But
hurry, as I have only five minutes."
The boy rushed up the stairs. In
two or three minutes he returned, out
of breath. "Yes, sail,” he panted,
“you left it. sah!”

is apt to alter the color scheme by
painting things red.
Letter to Limestone Springs Lime Co.»
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sirs: We asked City Drug
Co, Crystial Springs. Miss, to sell De-
voe. They wanted to know, of their
own knowledge, how it compared with
another paint they knew all about—
it was sold right there, and consider
ed good.
They painted the house of W B
McCluney two coats on purpose to
test the two paints against one anoth
er: one coat Devoe 6 gallons: the
other coat tnat other paint 10 gallons.
Difference $20; $7 for paint. $13 for
labor. • *
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; fa,pure; is considered an
excellent paint, and has a good deal
of local goodwill.
But the standard of paint has been
low all through tye southwest. That
paint Is thin: it is. you see. six tenths
of a paint. Devoe saves $20 over it
on half a small lob.
It is a case of local best compared
with actual best.
