A\Sudden Summons for Mr. Hamilton % D. Carr. Friday afternoon the people of Gaffney were shocked to learn that Mr. Hamilton D. Carr had died suddenly of heart fail ure. About two o’clock Mr. Carr came down town with his son, June H. Carr, in the automobile. He was, apparently in his usual good health, an i after leav ing his son at bis studio, he went back home in the auto. It was his intention to return to the city to get some freight at the depot, and he had just pushed the machine into the position he desired when he straightened up and suddenly fed. Mrs. June H. Carr had gone out to assist her father-in-law, and was present when he fell. Mr. Carr never spoke after he fell, but lied almost instantly. Hamilton D Carr came to Gaffney five years ago in January, He was a native A NEWSY LETTER FROM WllKINSVllLE.

The debate on the Hirers and Harbors was enlivened from the dull routine accompanying the big appropriation measures. One especial feature was the gallant ^itand Reprecentative Ezekiel Cand- ^jfcdlant fight for the Tomblgbee. In ttr, of Mississippi, took to get an ap^ propriatlon for the Tomblgbee river. The Tomblgbee. as Uie reader aware, is not of as jwuch navigable importance as the Mississippi or Ohio rivers but eneither of these - great waterways had a more zealous or eloquent champion than did the Tombigbee, a small rivulet In far way Mdssissslppi. As Virgil “sang any active business after coming to Gaff ney, but was a very industrious man and was always doing s mething He pur chased a small tract of land in the South ern part of the town, on an eminence which commanded a beautiful view of th e city. He erected a model little home and set out a large number of fruit trees, planted flowers and otherwise beautified the place uuti it became one of the most attractive homes in Gaffney, Mr. Carr was always doing sotneihing to beautify bis little home. He was quiet and un assuming and made friends with all who became acquainted with him. He was a model husband and father, a staunch fiiend and a good citizen, and he will be missed by all who knew him. Mr. Carr was fifty-seven years old. Be fore coming to Gaffney his health had declined, but he was still active and vig orous and no one. not even the members of his family, dreamed that he was so near death’s door. Deceased leaves a wife and two children, Mr. June K. Carr, of this city, and Mrs. Merritt S. Bucking ham, of Manistee, Mich., to mourn their loss.

His death was caused from paralysis with which he was struck last Saturday morning. He never rallied nor spoke after he tvas taken. He was buried at Sardis church yesterday. He leaves a wife and one child—Mr. John Mc Abee—who is one of our verv best citizens and to whom we extend our sympathies. Mr. Sam J.

Miss Zella Blackwell, we are sorry to say, isn’t getting along well. She suffers a great deal at times. Dr. Hood, of Hickory Grove, has been to see her a few times. The sad fate of Mr. J. F. Farmer and the narrow escape of Messrs, Scoggins and the Birglrt boys from death by poisoning should be a lesson to all patrons of the blind tiger business, and we hope the guilty par- lies will be found out and punished as they deserve to be. No one who patronizes these law less Institutions can expect any bet ter than at some time or other to come up dead. Wherever the vile stuff is sold—under whatever name or regulaion, evil will be the result— and no one patronizing such places need look for the outcome of any good. Judge J. B.

Beware Gf "Oigestines.” The Only Way to Cur© Stomach Of* order* la by Strengthening the Digestive Organa. The ordinary pepsin tablet has ruined more stomachs than all otoar causes combined. While It gives tem porary relief, it leaves the digestive system weaker than ever, and the tablets must be continued v!tar creased frequency. The onlv way to permanently enra stomach troubles is by strengthen ing the digestive orgaps with a Mi-o- na stomach tablet taken before meals. In this way the remedy prto nares the stomach for the food and excites tne secretion of gastric jutean so that, when the food is eaten, the stomach Is prepared to digest it If Mlo na was a mere digestive. It would be taken after eating, so as to mix with the food, but then oennar nent relief would not bs gained. A Mlona stomach tablets are sold only in a neat metal box. convenient for the purse or vest pocket and cost but 60c. The Gaffney Drug Co. have seen so manv cures made by Mo-na stomach tablets that they give a guarantee wjth every box that the money win be r< funded If^the remedy fails to ja/ve satisfaction. You run no risk id using Mlona. for you are sure to be cured at trifling expense, or else your money will be returned. —Buy your garden seed in bolh and save money.
