Blackwell, of Gaston Shoals, hag purchased the Green place in the northern portion of the city and has erected thereon a handsome cottage. It is the purpose of Mr. Balckwell to occupy the cottage when the work at Gaston Shoals Is completed. It is the concensus of opinion among those who profess to know, that the recent cold snap, owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, did little or no damage to the fruit crop. This Is good news as poor fruit crops three years In succession would prove a severe hardship. In some way quite a number of peo ple were under the Impression that last Saturday was the day for the meeting of the various democratic clubs. By a reference to the call of the chairman in another column It will be seen that the time fixed Is April 25th. Prof. W. Li. Johnson, who repre sents the M. P.

It Has Been Deed On seven patients Successfully. A negro named Robert Morgan who lives near Concord church about five miles from Gaffney, brought his daughter, a little girl of six years, to Gaffney Saturday afternoon for the purpose of having her treated by the application of Mr. Brown Lowe’s madstone. The child was playing In the house Saturday morning when the dog, which had been away from home some days, ran In and bit her on the right wrist, but only grazed the skin. Mr. Lowe, after washing the arm thoroughly, took a razor and made some tiny cuts on the sbin where the child was bitten and then placing the stone over the wound, wrapped a cloth tightly over It. It failed to stick, however, and Mr. Lcwe is convinced that no poison en tered the system. Mr. Lowe Inform ed us that on last Tuesday Mr. J. D. Dominick, of Newberry, brought his little girl aged two years, which had been bitten by a mad dog, to his house and that he applied the stone and It stuck for five hours and two minutes. Mr. Lowe further said that the little Dominick girl was the seventh case In which the stone had been used successfully. When asked how he used the stone Mr. Lowe said that when it adhered to a wound that It would absorb all It would hold then he would place it in a vessel contain ing sweet milk and that after re maining a short time the poison would come out and the milk would turn green, and that after using the milk several L.mes it would become thick, of about the consistency of paste. Upon being asked where he ob tained the stone, Mr. Lowe said that about eight years ago his little daughter found it in the mill at Gaff ney where she was working. He did not know what it was and kept It two years before he discovered that it was a madstone. Mr. Lowe values the stone very highly, and if it really has the virtue which he claims, it is a boon to the community. The Woman’s Club. The Woman's Club held its regular mleetlngl on Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. S. Lipscomb. There being an unusual amount of business to attend to, the program was omitted. An election of officers was held. The president read the re port of the work done by the club during the past year.

Darwin were read and adopted by the club. _ The officers for the coming year are a« follows: President, Mrs. W. F. Humphries; vicet-presddent, Mrs. E. L. Cole; second vice-president, Mrs. W. W.

Several weeks ago The Ledger con talned a large advertisement for the Farmers’ and Mechanics Building and Loan Association in which they used the testimonials of Messrs. Hamll, Burgess and Parris as to the benefits of the building and loan plan for the wage earner, but |he advertisement neglected to say that these gentle men were stockholders in the Chero kee Building and Loan Association and not in the Farmers’ and Mecha nics. Of coarse the only purpose was to trv to Impress upon others the benefits of the building and loan plan, but President Charley Jefferies of the Cherokee Building and Loan, says that Attorney Otts ought not to have stolen his thunder without giving his concern credit. i ;ae FOR Up-to-Date Job Print- ing, call at the LEDGER Office. ». ♦ Gaffney, s.
