CHEERFUL LETTER FROM SEIN. TILLMAN Writes Long Commnnioation to Gaff ney Man. Senior Senator Tells Dr. r. C. Hiekson that his Health is Now Improving. Editor Gaffney Ledger: Tho enclosed letter, just received from Senator Tillman. I fed sure will give pleasure to his many friends in Cherokee County, and although it looks immodest in me to publish what he says of myself, and seems a violation of confidence, I am making bold to publish it as it is. Of course, his enemies and my enemies will not appreciate it. but our friends will. P. C. Hickson. "Dev. P. C. Iliekson, ??Gaffney. S. C. "My dear old Friend: "I have just received yours or Oc tober 2nd, and it does me good be cause I know it comes from an hon est heart and one whose whole being is penmeated with sincerity and good ness. You speak about your sorrow at heating mo talk about getting 'old and being siek.' You know it is true, so why be sad about it? We have all got to die sometime and I realize very fully that my time to go to the great 'beyond Is not far off. The idea is not worrying me at all. although 1 have not got that peace of mind which you seem to possess in regard to the hereafter. I simply have a hope?a very strong hope?but not much faith. "I am taking the best of care of myself as far as 1 know how to do it, and you will be rejoiced, I know, to learn that I myself believe that I am gradually Improving. But the pro gress is very, very gradual. 1 do not | allow anything to worry me, but throw it off and go on doing my duty its I understand it. "I aim untiling you a copy of Dr. Blcdsoe's 'The Mission of Woman." and also a copy of my speech on 'Woman Suffrage.' You seem to like it so well that you may want to have it in that form, and it is possible that your name may not have been on the list of those to whom it was sent. I only had ten thousand copies of it printed. "I will reproduce in the Record to morrow, and in pamphlet form the day after, an article 1 wrote for the New York World in 1896, giving my view on Wall Street and the Deviltry those scoundrels perpetuated on the farmers of the South and West. I know you will enjoy it. "I am sending you also a little poem which 1 eame across last Stum mer in an old newspaper. It has af forded me a great deal of comfort, as it gives a most cheerful view of death and tho grave. 1 know you will enjoy reading it. "I note your tone of unhappiness about the moral condition of our peo ple, and you lament at what 1 said about. South Carolina is not. true. They are becoming more demoralized every day in a political way, it seems to me, and Governor Blcase appears to be aggravating conditions in ovory way possible. The 'blind tigers,' gtimblers and whore mongers appear to be running tho State, in a way, and now they are trying to buy votes in the primary. Hut we cannot afford to despair of the old State, and all of Us who are old enough to rem elm - bor the better ideals of the past, ought to hold fast to those ideals and try to teach the younger generation to rise to them, rather than drag down the State from the customs of their forefathers. "I will be glad if you will write me fully and frankly just what you think of the political condition in Cherokee county, and the probable outcome of the race for the Senate. "With assurances of my hlxiust esteem and respect, 1 am. "Yours very sincerely. "B. it. Tillman." m_ ACTS ON THE LIVER. Dodson's Liver Tone LI Whs I'p the , Jhiver?Is .More Than a Mere Laxa tive.

Two Merchants and Their Stores. (By Walt Mason, in Juno System.i He was selling tacks and turnips in a gloomy corner store, and he never washed his windows and he never swept his lioor, and he let the cob webs gather on the ceiling and the walls, and he let his whiskers nour ish till they brushed his overalls. So bis customers forsook him ?for his pa trons were not chumps?and the sher iff came and got him and that mer chant bumped the bumps. He was selling liens and hammocks, as he'd done since days of youth, and he queered himself with many, for he never told the triui<. (). he thought it rather cunning if hi sold a rooster old as a young and tender pullet through the artful lies lie told; and he'd sell a shoddy hammock as a thing of silken thread, and the cus tomer would bust jt and fall out upon his head; so his customers forsook him, and he sadly watched them Hit. and the sheriff came and go' him, and , that merchant hit the grit. He was selling shoes and sugar sugar from the sunny South?and he'd roast the opposition when he should have shut his mouth. He would stand and rant and rumble by the hour of Mr. Tweet, who was selling shoes and sugar in the shack across the street; and he'd vow all kinds of vengeance, and he'd tell all kinds of tales, 'til his wearied patrons sometimes rose and smote him with his scales; for they cared about his troubles and his sor rows not three whoops, and the sher iff cajne and got him, and that mer chant looped the loops. He was selling books ami beeswax, and his store was neat und ( lean, and the place was bright and cheerful, and the atmosphere serene. He was tidy in his person, and his clerks were much the same, and no precious time Was wasted in the tiresome knocking game. And the customer who entered was with courtesy received, and he felt quite proud and happy when of cash he was relieved. And the merchant's word was golden, what he said was al ways true, and he sold no moldy bees wax, saying it was good as new. And his trade kept on Increasing 'til his bank account was fat. and the sheriff, when he met him, always boWed and1, tipped his hnt.

STOMACH TROUBLE FOR FIVE YEARS Majority of Friends Thought Mr. Hughes Would Die, But One Helped Him to Recoyery. Pomeroyton, Ky.?In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: "I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that I thought surely 1 would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any e,ood. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try j Thedford's Black-Draught, and quit j taking other medicines. I decided to take Iiis advice, although I did nol have any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured mc? haven't had those awful sick headaches since I began using; it. I am so thankful for what Black Draught lias done for mc." Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely I used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest.
