COOPER MET USUAL
SUCCESS IN PITTSBURG
Received Thanks from Hundreds While in
the Smoky City.
The following article, taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re
sults of L. T. Cooper’s visit to that
cHy, and the effect of his new prepara
tion as told by people who had become
convinced of the soundness of Cooper’s
theories with regard to the human
stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stpmach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that most
IB health of the present generation is
due to this fact The article is as fol
lows:
“L. T. Cooper is meeting with the
same astonishing success in Pittsburg
ns in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittsburg peo-
'ple have called at his headquarters to
talk with him.
"Cooper’s prophecy, made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he left
Pittsburg thousands would realize that
his theory is correct and would come
and thank him for what his medicine
had done, is rapidly being borne out.
"On Monday an astonishing number
of people called to express their grati
tude to Mr. Cooper. Judging from
what some of these people had to say
to a Press reporter, when interviewed,
Cooper's claim that the human atom*
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
"One of the most unusual statements
was made by Mr. C. W. Woods, of 103
South Highland Street. He said: ‘For
four years my wife was in very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption, and I was
inclined to believe them. It certainly
looked as though her days were num
bered, and there appeared to be very
little ground for hope.
‘“Shortly after Mr. Cooper came to
Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per
sons who had tried his medicine, so I
got some for my wife. She had taken
it only two days when she was relieved
of a tapeworm 42 feet long. She be
gan to improve Immediately—has gain
ed seven pounds since she began tak
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. If any
one doubts this statement I would bo
pleased to have them call at my bouso
and verify it.***

coming justly famous. We sell then

NEW SPRING FASHIONS.
The Butterfly jacket; shirt walataof
Handerkchlef Linen.
There are many attractive novel
ties among the spring fashions—not
the least of which is the very latest
craze, the butterfly jacket, with the
sleeves formed of part of the side ful
ness of th<\ garment. In any reliable
or plain silb these little coats are ex
tremely smart. Then there is the
butterfly shirt waist with the same
sort of sleeves, which are really sim
ply an extension of the sides or rath
er of the front and back. This waist
is being made up in soft silks and lin
gerie materials of all sorts. It looks
rather queer until you are used to it
But nobody dares say a word in its
disfavor, for it is really the very new
est thing.
New Fashions in Shirt Waists.
One of the most interesting fea
tures of the shirt waist that have
been prepared for spring and sum
mer is the introduction of striped ma
terials. Some very pretty woven and
printed cottons both in broken stripes
Embroidered batiste," will, so aagr
the most fashionable dressmakers, be
one of the approved fabrics of the
season for making dressy summer
gowns. Organdies are still to the
fore and a great deal la to be done
with cotton voile. But of all the new
weaves shown at the fashionable
shops here Mlrette is at onoe the
daintiest and most practical. It is es
pecially suitable for pretty dacing
frocks, waists and negligees made af
ter modish lingerie styles, since, al
though It Is the exact counterfeit of
high grade China silk in color, tex
ture and lustre, it launders perfect
ly, coming out of the tub with its
lovely lustre and color undlmmed,
while Its reasonable cost is an added
attraction.
Modish Millinery.
The most fascinating straw hats
are now being displayed in the New
York shops. The styles are quite dif
ferent from the models we have been
wearing this winter. Shapes are
much smaller and crowns are higher
and, while they are richly trimmed,
there is not such an overpowering

and in narrow lines have been
brought out In obedience to the Pari
sian fad for striped goods of all sorts.
The prettiest as well as decidedly
the most novel of these new shirt
waists are made of handkerchief
linen with narrow stripes of color.
A vei7 chic example had a white
ground with fine pink stripes. It was
made very full, being tucked both
front and back and trimmed with a
side pleated frill, edged with pink
hemstitching, that graduated towards
the waist line.
These waists come with stripes of
all colors, pale blue, lavender, yellow,
etc., and are sometimes trimmed with
two frills, one overlapping the other,
but both turned toward the side.
Materials f 0r Thin Dresses.
Very beautiful are the new cottons
and linens. Many of these are in
striped effects and there are also
some charming floral patterns, some
times seen alone and sometimes
placed on a striped or checked back
ground.
loud of garniture piled on each hat
as has been the case during the past
season.
For hatg to accompany tailor gowns
Of chapeaux for general wear rough
straws are the smartest. These are
usually trimmed with wings and rib
bon but flowers are also used. For
more elaborate mllinery, lace straw
is the newest Idea, though the old
favorites chip and Leghorn are
brought into requisition as well.
These hats are twisted and bent into
all sorts of forms. The idea seems
to be to avoid the straight line as
far as the brims are concerned.
Then the new sailors must by no
means be omitted for they form a
very important part of the spring mll-
| linery. These popular hats come in
very becoming shapes and are most
smartly trimmed with wings or just

Locals from Greers.
Greer, Feb. 2.—At this writing the
ground is covered with sleet and all
travel except by rail, is almost Im
passible. The wires were out of or-1
der today and trains were coming in j
without being known.
Although the ground is still cover
ed with sleet, still the sun has come
out and melting the ice very fast.
Greer Is on a big boom and severel j
new residences are now in com-1
pletion. Had the people here secur-:
ed the new county—Highland—and !
with a court house and jail Greer |
would come very near up to Gaffney, i
although our county seat Is right near
to Spartanburg and with electric cars I
would soon surpass the old Spartan
city.
Last Sunday night about 8:30 o’clock
a very severe hall storm passed over
this section, breaking out many win
dow panes and scaring some of the
people nearly to death.
Mr. J. I. Raney, a good friend of
ours, and a Ledger reader, honored
your correspondent with a big oyster
supper last night and we certainly
enjoyed the occasion very much.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Chalb were kind
enough to allow a few young friends
to enjoy themselves at a fruit supper
at their home last Wednesday night.
About twenty young people were pre
sent and all seemed to enjoy them
selves very much.
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Teele are re
joicing over the arrival of a fine boy.
Mrs. Lillian Chalk has been quite
sicb for several days but at this writ
ing Is very much Improved.
We were glad to hear through The
Ledger from "X. T. Z." and “Black
Eyes,” of Ravenna. We hope they
will continue with The Ledger.
Yes, “Annie Laurie,” we have some
hard cases to contend with, for some
people cancot treat a newspaper re
porter with kindness. But, however,
we are like you, report the news and
let all concerned attend to the things
of their class. Come again, “Annie
Lurie,’* for your letters are one of
the features of The Ledger.
We send our greetings to all our
friends through The Ledger and we
hope all our friends will remember
us. It is a great pleasure for us to
report from here to The Ledger and
we will perhaps send another greet
ing from here through the dear old
Ledger.
There are several here taking The
Ledger and every time we see a copy
we feel like shouting for Gaffney and
Cherokee county.
We are glad to learn that Rev. F.
C. Hickson has accepted the pastor
ate of the Jonesville church. Mr.
Hickson has many friends in Chero
kee county who will be glad to know
he has come bach from the west and
cast his lot among us.
