cleansing or disinfecting the ulcer
with salves, lotions, plasters, ETC.,
will ever produce a cure, because
they do. not reach the blood.
The proper way and the
only way, to cure an old sore or
ulcer, is to remove the source
on which it feeds; in other words

The combination of health

which S. S. S. is composed make
it an especially desirable and

removing impurities from the

bottom Of the trouble, and so
completely cleanses the blood
that there is no longer any i'm

Then nature rebuilds all broken
down tissue and causes the place
TO fill in with firm, healthy flesh.
S. S. S. removes inherited taints
from the blood also, and prevents
the formation of old sores or an.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Mr.. J. w. Mcfarland, who is su-
perintending the work Of putting a
coating Of modern macadam on North
Congress street, Is a grandson Of Mr..
A. ]. Devinney, who laid the street
originally in the early fifties. In those
days but little was known of maca-
dam work. The best thing they knew
was to level up the roadbed, lay 1t
with heavy stones, and cover them up
with dirt. It was in this way that the
street was laid. That the work is be-
ing overhauled more than fifty years
afterward by grandson Of the man
who did it originally, is a somewhat
remarkable coincidence.
There is a controversy on that in
wolves the ownership of the ball ground
at the graded school. The infor-
nation is that the ball ground
originally belonged to the school
district. About three years or
more ago, the trustees agreed to
sell a part Of the property to Messrs.
Glenn & Allison, and to open a street
through it. The consideration agreed
upon was the sum Of $50. Subsequent
to the agreement, it developed that the
for a baseball diamond and playground
generally. The original transaction
was never completed by the transfer
Of papers or the payment Of money.
Messrs. Glenn & Allison insist that the
contract entered into was binding upon
the school district as well as them
selves. Several Of the trustees are
now inclined to repudiate the alleged
sale on several grounds, among 9TH
ers that the board was without power
to make such a transfer.

THE COTTON CROP.

Up to ten days ago it looked as II
York county was to have a bumper
cotton crop this year. In almost ev-
cry part of the county, and more OF
especially on red lands, there was q
good weed with lots of squares and
bolls. and the prospect looked encour-
aging, but recently there has been q
change.
Within the past few days reports
have been coming in from all quarters
to the effect that there has been such
a wholesale shedding Of squares and
bolls and whitening Of leaves, that the
crop already appears to be off 15 or 70
per cent, or maybe more, from what
1t was.
OF course, there is more or less she'd
ding every year; but this year seems
to be worse than usual. Different
farmers give different reasons for the
discouraging and costly change in the
situation; but the concensus OF opin-
ion seems to attribute the trouble to
the sudden drouth following the long
period Of wet weather. One puts II
like this:
Because of the surplus of mois-
ture during the whole early part
Of the season, there was an abnormally
rapid growth Of the plants without any
necessity for the roots to strike down.
ward. The weed not only grew rapid
ly, but put on lots Of fruit. When the
drouth came it found all the roots near
the top of the ground and in no con-
dition to reach after the moisture
necessary to carry the plants through
the hot winds of the day and the cool
nights. The result has been the she'd
ding of fruit and the blasting of
leaves"

WORKING FOR THE DEDICATION.

A meeting Of the executive commit
| tee of the Kings Mountain Monumen,
association was held in the court house
at Yorkville yesterday, pursuant to
call of the chairman, for the purpose
of further considering arrangements
that are necessary to the successful
and creditable carrying out of the eX-
ercises in connection with the dedica-
ton of the Kings Mountain Battle
monument on October I, next.
The following members of the exec
utive committee were present: Col. A
Coward, G. H. O'Leary, Thos. L. John
ston, G. W. S. Hart, ]. S. Brice, D. E.

committee on transportation and
roads, Col. w. w. Lewis, Mesdames

Finley, and Miss L. d. Witherspoon
Of the Kings Mountain Chapter d. A
r.
In calling the meeting to order, Col
Coward reported that sub committees
had recently made two trips to the
battle-ground, and found that while the
monument Is not yet ready for the
dedication ceremonies, in that the fence
that is to enclose the base has not yet
been completed, the committee has as
surance from Mr.. Dogen, the contrac-
tor. and Capt. Adams, in charge for
the government, that everything will
be in readiness by September Is. He
reported that the greater portion of
the road is in good condition: but sew
eral miles of II, and especially that
.rrtion leading to, across, and just be-
yond the Oates's bottoms, is still diff
cult and more or less dangerous. The
road leading from the battle-ground,
ont toward Grover, he said, is also in
bad condition.

Time to Enforce the Law.-If a
county treasurer can swipe eight or
ten thousand dollars of public funds
and then get clean bill of health up
on payment of five thousand dollars, a
premium is being paid for dishonesty.
Why not make the bondsmen Of the
defaulting official pay in full and send
the embeZZler to the chaingang for
good measure? A county treasurer who
steals the funds Of which he is the
custodian is a worse rascal and de-
serving Of greater punishment than
the house breaker who robs a store
or bank. If the legislature approves
the compromise in the Edgefield coun-
ty case it may as we'll pass law per-
mitting all thieves to go free upon re-
payment Of seventy-five per cent Of
the amount stolen. There have been
entirely too many embeZZlements,
shortages or mistakes in bookkeeping,
call them what you will, in South Car
olina, within the last few years, and
the only way to put a stop to 1t Is to
prosecute a few of the embezzlers to
the limit Of the law and put them in
stripes. There would be a marked and
immediate Improvement in bookkeep-
ing whereby the state and counties
would save some thousands of dollars
every year.-Charlotte Observer.

THERE has been no satisfactory ex-
planation Of Senator Tillman's activ-
ity in making speeches over the state
during a period in which politics is so
generally quiet. We would not have
anybody think that we are especially
concerned about the matter: but at the
same time, the situation affords rea-
sonable ground for curiosity. Haz-
arding a guess, we would say that 'he
senator has intimations Of some kind
of a coalition or combination looking
to the taking away Of his seat. We
have no information OF such coali-
ton or combination; but 1t is not un-
reasonable to assume that there are
politicians who would be glad to sue

had no intention Of hitting his wife,

were inconsequential and that the de-
facement slight. Judge Webb, after

other features of the case, 1t was an
nounced that an amicable settlement

property interests of Mr.. and Mrs.
