,J:*,cr>r IL CREATURE WAS " NINETY FEET LONG Recent Grewsome Experience of a Chicago Man Is Sample of a Series of Such Cases During L. T. Coopers recent visit to Chicago, where his new preparation and theory created the usual sensation, many hundreds of people brought enormous Internal parasites to the young man, which had left the system after taking his medicine. Among these people was Mr. Emil Winkler, who brought to Cooper a tapeworm that proved to be over ninety feet in length. Mr. Winkler, who resides at 182 East Ohio Street, Chicago, had this to Say of his expe rience: "For five years I have been more or less complaining. I have had severe headaches, and any food that I would eat would nauseate me. I would have bad dreams almost every night; dizzy spells would compel me to quit work. Black spots would appear be fore my eyes when stooping over and rising quickly. I would feel tired most of the time; In fact, I had no life in me to speak of for the last five years. I tried various treatments, and one physician In St Louis was recom mended to me, and I was under his treatment some time, but as usual I obtained no relief. "So many people asked me to try Cooper’s preparation that I decided to do so, and after using It for a few days, this awful thing passed from my system. 1 feel much better already, and I want to say right here that I thank Mr. Cooper a hundred times for what his medicine has done for me. I would not take $5,000 and have that thing back in my system again." Mr. Winkler is a fair samnle of the experience of many during Cooper's stay in Chicago, and this no doubt helped to account for the enormous sale of the Cooper preparation in this city and others, recently visited by the youug man. We sell and will be pleased to explain the Cooper preparationa —Gaffney Drug Co. TO RENT OR TO BUY A Gaffney man said a few days a»;o, “I’d like to buy a home of my own, but I can't afford it.” He was mistaken. Any mail who can afford to pay rent can afford to buy a home if he will take advantage of the r Peoples B. & L. Plan! and he can buy just as good a home as he cau rent. The only difference is he buys for himself instead of his landlord. Start today by taking stock and filing your application. R. M. WILKINS, Prest. R. S. LIPSCOMB, Treasi J. F. GARRETT, V.-Premt. H.

Scotch woolen goods are unsurpassed by those of any other country, and the Scotch and the Scotch-Iriah In Ireland have set the standard of the world in the manufacture of linens. The iron and steel industry of Scotland, founded at an early date, has been highly de veloped. Ship building has thrived in Scotland since the time of The Bruce, and, in the present day, the highest development of Scotch Indus try is found in the shipyards on the Clyde, and the Scotch-Irish shipyards at Belfast. From these yards have come a great part of the merchant and war fleets of Britain, and, in the Luistania, they have their crowning achievement. In America the Scotch and the Scotch-Irish have a wider field for the development of indus trial leadership. All the world knows what Andrew Carnegie and his asso- eiates, largely Scotchmen and men of Scotch descent, achieved in the build ing up of the iron and steel industry about Pittsburg, and Alexander Gra ham Bell, the inventor of the tele phone, is a man of Scotch ancestry. Not even the briefest review of Scotch achievement would be com plete without some reference to the financial genius of the race which produced William Paterson, the found er of the Bank of England. The banking system of Scotland has main tained an enviable reputation for soundness, and is pointed to today by some of the advocates of banking and currency reform as the model upon which the system of this coun try should be based, and I have no doubt that the high reputation of the banks of Charleston is due, in no small measure, to influences in their management attributable to the men of Scotch ancestry who have from time to time been members of this society. The fiscal system of our government was devised by a man of Scotch descent—Alexander Hamilton —and it stands today, with few modi fications, as a monument to his gen ius. Not only in fiscal affairs, but in shaping the entire policy of our gov ernment and in molding the charac ter of its institutions, have men of Scotish blood been influential. No less than eight of our presidents have been of Scotch or Scotch-Irish de scent. The list includes Monroe, Jackson, Poll:-, Buchanan, Grant, Hayes, Arthur, and McKinley. The strains of Scotch and Scotch- Irish blood which came into our coun try in colonial days, and which have since been enriched by fresh acces sions, have leavened our whole popu lation with the spirit of the Scots who fought with Wallace and with Bruce, Ever champions of individu al liberty, they have been firm up holders of an orderly government in the spirit of those lines by Burns: "The wretch that wad a tyrant own, And tl}e wretch, his true-born brother, Who would set the mob aboon the throne, Mfcy they be damned together." In no locality has the Scotch in fluence been more potent than In the Carollnaa, and especially In the city of Charleston, where, to a greater degree than in any other American city, has been preserved, in its popu lation, and Its city life, the character and spirit of the early days of the republic. A citizenship of this char acter can be depended upon to make the most of its opportunities, and to work harmoniously with all agencies contributing td civlo advancement In the spirit of "a good understanding and acquaintance” for the building up of a greater Charleston, in which the St. Andrew’s Society shall ever be a center where “men of honor and integrity of what nation, degree or profession soever” shall be drawn to gether, and from which its light shall "spread its beams with more diffusive gladness over a wider and wider circle.” At the Sta r Theatre.
