Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, di» Courages and lessens ambition; beauty vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble hat become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the Brine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Ravenna, June 3.—M. W. Brown and J. M. Green spent Monday in Gaffney. Prof. T. G. Chalk has been elected principal of the Grindal school for the present year and has accepted. Your correspondent and his better half spent a few hours at Asbury last Sunday afternoon. While in the As bury settlement we met Master Guy Mason, who is only five years old, but he made an excellent speech for your correspondent. Guy is a bright young fellow and will make a smart boy for Cherokee in years to come. The W. Sam Lipscomb Company, tbe company installing machinery at the gold mine near here, are building houses near the works and when com pleted. will be of much convenience to the workmen. Six men are now employed at the works. We learn the oar is worth $500 a ton. We hope tbe company will succeed aud if they do it will boom Cherokee. Mr. D. Both Hughes, of Grindal. candidate for auditor, visited Prof. T. G. Chalk and family last Sunday. Mr. Dick Foster, of Rehohoth, spent last Sunday with T. G. Chalk and family. Victor Foster, of Pacolet. spent last Sunday in this section. G. A. Bonner, of Pacolet, visited his parents. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Bonner, last Sunday. The inaugeration of the voting con test for the most popular R. F. D. car rier which is he conducted by The Ledger, should prove very interesting. Wte have one good friend, Mr. Sam W. Clary, who we hope can carry off the first prize, and any votes any of our friends should give him, will he appreciated by us. The Ledger will be ahead of the times aud Editor De- Camp should add quite a number of subscribers to his excellent semi- weekly—the South’s leading $1.60 newspaper. J. L. and W. S. Spake, Lamar Lit tlejohn, Wilkes, R. R. and B. F. Brown, T. C. Green and Mrs. C. T. Chalk and sister. Miss Mary I*ju. all of this place, attended the Goucher services last Sunday. Misses Fannie and Eunice Smith and brother, Ebbie, of Goucher, visit ed our Sunday school last Sunday. Quite a crowd from here are ex pecting to “take in” the Children’s Day exercises at Rehohoth next Sun day, and among them your corres pondent and wife. Miss Pearle Burgess, a student of Limestone College, Gaffney, i s home for her vacation. We are glad the report that Mrs. J. L. S. was at death’s door was only a joke. She was dyeing quilt linings. Many sympathies were heard from Col. Strain’s friends here. We trust the colonel’s eyes will not cause him to have to give up his newsy let ters from lower Cherokee. Your correspondent hopes to be able to give Ledger readers a report of the gold mines here in the near future, when we shall he able to visit the works and see what grade of gold the mine is turning out. lASt Saturday was national holiday and the rural carriers did not go out on their routes. Capt. J. B. Brown conducted the religious services at Goucher last Sunday and he not being familiar with thfc work, did nicely, and after the services he received congratula tions from the congregation. Mr. E. B. Bonner will conduct the services next Sunday. When Children’s Day came off at Goucher some few Sunday’s ago. we had our eyes set to find “Red Bird,” as we desired very much to meet this correspondent. “Red Bird,” come to Goucher some other time, for I am anxious to meet you. Many thanks for your compliment paid us through The Ledger. Yesterday was your correspondent’s twenty-sixth birthday. C. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Thinks |t Saved His Life. Lesier M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: “I have used Dr. King’s New Discovery for many years, for coughs and colds, and I think it saved ray life. I have found it a reliable remedy for throat and lung complaints, and would no more be without a bottle than I would he without food.’’ For nearly forty years New Discovery' has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia, and healer of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold under guarantee at Cherokee Drug Co. 50c and $100. Trial bot tle free. A Plea for the Tnforcement of the Law. Truly, friends, we believe in follow ing the teaching of the Bible in all tilings. It is the source trom whence all right laws come. Our court of ficers are sworn into office by this holy book. Witnesses are sworn by it. Why should we as a nation not follow more closely its teaching in en forcing the law in regard to murder and other crimes that are punishable by death? See the inscription on our silver dollars which read “In God We Trust.” And yet how seldom the teaching of His word is carried out in regard to those who shoot down a man as though he were a dog. When the time comes that justice ceases to be mingled with mercy men will mercy from a human standpoint cease to exist. When a murderer receives a fair trial and is given a reasonable time to prepare to meet God, he has received all the mercy he deserves, and more than he shows his victims generally. Surely if a person intends to live up to the law he will be in favor of its being en forced. I wish today that we nad enough men who would dare to do their duty to make criminals scarce. Those generally who are opposed to capitol punishment begin their ar gument by saying that Cain was not put to death. Well, up to that time we don’t read of any court. Certainly it is not to be expected that Adam and Eve would have put him to death. Yet we read that the in'nocent blood of Abel cried to God for vengence, and the Lord Almighty, sent such punishment on Cain that he wished to die. We remember having once heard an able solicitor say in court that it seemed that the blood of the deceased who was a colored man. cried to him for vengence, and he went for the murderer with glooves off. but the jury turned him loose. Joshua believed in capital punish ment. Joshua, a man that was good enough to lead God's people Israel, over Jordan dry shod, and who was so good that God heard his pray er, even to the stopping of the sun, believed in and practiced capital punishment. Haven’t you read where he hanged the king of Ai and others? And again we read where David, a man after God's own hgart, slew the giant and cut off his head with his own sword? We read in many places where it seems real plain to us that God put His seal of approval on capi tal punishment. How about Absolom, the beautiful son of King David, when he was going to battle against his father who loved him so? How lie was trying to wrest the kingdom from him. What happened to him? While riding underneath a tree his head became fast in the tree and he hung there until he -was dead. It seems that any one could see the hand of God in that. Then see Jesus on the cross of Calvary. Remember that He was “God the Son.” On either side of Him was a person paying the death penalty for their crimes, and one of them said ‘‘it was just wright.” Jesus said to the one that called on him, “This day shalt thou be with Me in paradise.” And still so much does God approve of punishing the offend ers of the law and so much did He approve of it then that He suffered him to die on the cross. The innocent must be protected. Certainly no Christian desires to see any one suffer. But the criminals should lr? punished even with death when they deserve it, and the inno cent protected. Thf re is always a way to do a thing, and there is a way to do away with capital punishment, and a right way. First do away with all those who are really guilty. Hang every one that deserves it and let it be known that this will be the case, and I tell you the blood thirsty thugs of hell would cool down, amend their ways or depart frem our coasts. There is only one thing we had rather see done away with than capital punish ment, and that is capital crimes. God grant that it may soon disappear in that way and that all sorts and con ditions of men may obey the sixth commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” How often the murder trials seem to end with a verdict of guilty for the dead man. and still we scarcely hear any tell of where the person murder ed ever tried to commit suicide. In a civilized Christian land nine out of ten who carry pistols are murderers at hehrt, officers and soldiers except ed. We have too many criminals walking around here in this* little Scrofula Fetf are entirely free from it. It may develop so slowly as to cause little if any disturbance during the whole period of childhood. It may then produce dyspepsia, ca tarrh, and marked tendency to con sumption, before causing eruptions, sores or swellings.

Recently a man of God while going to tils work and wearing a hard hat passed by some young men when < ne of them without any cause at all, mashed bis hot fiat on his head, and they all joined in the laugh. Since then tin* man of God lias been pray ing to ; - that wicked hoy. A boy that would do that in day light would stoop to almost any crime at night. Sometimes a convicted criminal's law yer circulates a petition and asks rot 1 people to say that the defendant is crazy and he is sent to the. asylum. That reminds us of a man in the I asylum who went to the fence and told a carpenter that he had good clothes, good board and a hf me without wqrk and really asked tl -• man. who had a large family and who wafc working for one dollar a day, if fie didn’t think he was on the wrong side of the fence. Now what we wish to know is this; Don't you Miinl:- these people who sign petitions in that way an,t encourage murder, are on the wrong side of the fence?
