What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most ills*
te-essing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells all
about it, both sent free
by mail. Address Dr.

Large and Successful Meeting Held
at Gaffney.
(Watchman and Southron. Sumter.)
The South Carolina State Press As
sociation, met in its thirty-fourth an
nual convention in the Limestone
College building at Gaffney on Tues
day morning, June 30, and spent three
days most delightfully in business
and social intercourse with each
other and in mingling with the hos
pitable citizens of that fast develop
ing city of the up country.
The authoring was pronounced by
all to be the largest in attendance of
any of the meetings of the associa
tion yet held, and in every other re
spect the meeting was highly gratify
ing to every one.
The entire association was lodged
and fed in the college building, a
large three story brick and stone
structure, having ample basement
rooms for kitchen and dining room
service. The building is also pro
vided with electric lights and water
for all purposes. It is surrounded by
a tine grove of trees and a large, well
kept lawn, and was erected for a
sol lege some seventy years ago, and
is about twice as old as the city of
Gaffney, which only claims 35 years
and a present population of about 6,-
000. The college is about one and
a half mile from the railroad station
which is near the business centre of
the city—eight miles from Blacks
burg and twenty-one miles from
Spartanburg, on the Southern rail
way from Charlotte to Atlanta. Gaff
ney is the county seat of Cherokee
county, which was made out of por
tions of York. Spartanburg and Union
counties, and is bounded by North
Carolina.
When the Limestone College was
built, the ground upon which Gaff
ney stands was an old field and race
track a mile or two in rear of the
college, and the building was erected
to front the side towards the Lime
stone Springs, which gave the name
and still furnishes the water, the
spring being a little to the right and
about 200 yards distant. Now the
street and dummy car line connect
ing with (Jaffney approaches from the
other side, and, whether the build
ing has been remodelled or not we
did not learn, but it presents a hand
some front on that side. The car line
which was used for carrying the Press
Association, having two passenger
cars, is mainly employed in trans-
I porting rock and lime from the quar
ry and lime works situated adjacent
to the rear grounds of the college on
the opposite side from the spring.
The rock we are told are fine for
building purposes, and the lime is
claimed to he equal to the best Maine
lime.
This being the summer vacation
period, is why the college building
was utilized for quartering the as
sociation. The president, Dr: Lee
Davis Lodge, and a part of his fam
ily was there and welcomed and
made the members feel at home.
Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp of the Gaffney
Ledger, at whose earnest Invitation,
, extended at the last meeting at the
Isle of Palms, the association decid
ed to hold its meeting this year at
Gaffney, w'as on hand at ail hours
and occasions and was untiring in
his efforts to provide for the personal
comforts and pleasure of the indivi
dual members of the party as well as
the carrying out of all the details of
the meeting. That he succeeded en
tirely was the universal expression,
and there was not one who left Gaff
ney with other than the highest ap
preciation of everything in general
pertaining to the meeting, but with a
very warm and glad feeling toward
Ed DeCamp for having carried the as
sociation there and being able to do
all that he promised when he extend
ed the invitation.
Mr. DeCamp publishes a semi
weekly paper in Gaffney, The Led
ger; but during the meeting of the
association The Ledger was issued
j daily, being assisted in getting out
the matter by a machne installed for
exhibition during .he meeting, by the
Mergenthaler Linotype Company.
The machine is the new style lately
! introduced by the Linotype Company
and called the Linotype Junior. This
machine is of simple construction and
j is sold as less than half the price of
the Standard Linotype, and is intend
ed for small offices that cannot afford
or would not have use for the larger
machine. It attracted much atten
tion, and the gentlemen in charge
were very kind in giving any infor
mation desired. To those who have
in consideration the Introduction of a
machine, this opportunity to see the
Linotype Junior at work was worth
the time in attendance upon the
meeting.
Mr. Aug. Kohn was made editor in
chief of the Daily Ledger, and he
called upon all members of the asso
ciation for contributions, which were
liberally supplied. These articles,
with the daily proceedings, made The
Ledger a welcome visitor every eve
ning.
The News and Courier and the
State and other journals were fur
nished in numbers for free dlstrbu-
tion daily.
Most of the members of the asso
ciation arrived Monday night, and
the opening meeting was held at
10:30 o’clock Tuesday morning. All
the meetings were held in the audi
torium of the college.
The following report of the open
ing meeting is from the Daily Led
ger:
It was called to order by President
E. H. Aull at 10:30 o’clock and with
Col. J. B. Bacon at the piano “Praise
God from whom all blessings flow"
and "My Country, ’Tis of Thee” were
sung by the entire association. The
association wffs then formally open
ed with prayer by Rev. Dr. A. M.
Simms, pastor of the First Baptist
church, the chaplain, Rev. W. P.
Jacbs, not having arrived. Prof. H.
P. Griffith, of Limestone College, was
then presented and delivered a very
warm welcome to the journalists, tell
ing of the wonderful growth of this
Piedmont city and the great possibili
ties of this section and also paying
beautiful tributes tp the men who
made history of C’owpens and King’s
Mountain.
Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, in behalf of
Limestone College, delivered an elo
quent address extending a most cor
dial welcome. He paid beautiful tri
bute to the old South and urged the
editors to conserve the best that was
in that civilization.
Both speakers paid tribute to the
press as a point for the uplift of that
which was best and especially to the
press of South Carolina.
President Aull responded briefly to
the address of welcome and introduc
ed Secretary R. L. Freeman, who al
so voiced the appreciation of the as
sociation for the warm words of wel
come which had been delivered.
The addresses of Prof. Griffith and
of Dr. Lodge were particularly line.
Dr. Lodge concluded his address with
an original poem of his own, “The
Soldiers Led by Lee ”
In the afternoon of the first day
the association was given a ride
around Gaffney, visiting factories, oil
mill, ice plant, &c., and viewing the
city generally. Gaffney has four cot
ton mills, an oil mill, Ice factory,
lime works, two newspapers, (the
semi-weekly ledger by E. H. DeCamp
and the Cherokee News, by Junius
Parrott. On our visit to the Irene
Cotton Mill every one was given an
envelope containing a beautiful wov
en towel, the product of the mill, as
a souvenir. At this mill we saw hun
dreds of looms at work making
towels, table cloths, bed spreads and
other articles, all ornamented in
figure and flower decorations. We
were shown the various manipu
lations of the cotton from the open
ing of the bale to the finished fabric.
The evening was spent in the read
ing of papers and hearing addresses
by Miss Mary T. Nance, president of
the Rural School Improvement Asso
ciation of South Carolina, and by Mr.
H. P. Boggs of the Greer Observer.
Miss Nance in a most earnest and
practical talk explained the need of
improvement in our rural schools as
well as the necessity for a compul
sory education lav. Mr. Boggs spoke
on the subject of "Protection of
American Citizens,” especially with
reference to Mexico, and gave an ac
count of the murdering of his own
brother, who was a mining expert in
Mexico; related the facts as to the
arrest of the assassins, the release of
the majority of them and the impo
sition of a nominal sentence upon
two by a corrupt judge, while the
State Department at Washington ap
peared to take very little notice of
the affair, and seemed more inclined
to curry favor with the Mexican peo
ple than to protect our own citizens.
Wednesday was taken up with a
visit to Gaston Shoals, where we were
told we would be shown how “greas
ed lightning" is being made for light
ing the city and running the various
manufacturng establishments not
only of Cherokee but of adjoining
counties.
The following facts as to what we
saw r and how we were treated are
borrowed from Mr. Kohn’s account
furnished to the News and Courier:
"Just about two years ago some
Pittsburg and Foiladelphla capital
ists appreciating the possibilties of
electric power developed by a run
ning stream bought the Gaston
Shoals property. They now have the
development complete and In opera
tion. To see such a sight was some
thing entirely new for the members
of the association, and the committee
arranged for a picnic at the power
plant. Mr. Oscar Shanks, the gen
eral manager, of the Electric Manu
facturing and Power Company, was
on the spot, and if there was anything
left undone for the pleasure and com
fort of the visitors it has not yet been
heard of. In addition to the delight
ful dinner that was served beer was
available for all who had the thirst,
but these were merely incidents of
the pleasant day.
“The Southern Railway tendered
the local committee a train between
Gaffney and the power plant, which
is nine miles from here by rail, and
not only was the full crow provided
but Superintendent Fallls, of Green
ville division, and Superintendent
Hungerford, of Charleston, went
along to see that everything worked
smoothly. Division Passenger Agent
J. C. Lnsk. of Charleston, was also on
the spot to see if there were any pas
senger possibilities in the new exten
sion. The editors were not only de
lighted because of the pleasures that
were provided but to see that there is
such substantial development on
every hand in tbit section.
There are a great many eotton the whole system suffers.

Mr. Lawshe said that he was an old

as a fact it cost the government 8
