THE l EDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., NOVEMBER 19, 1893
HUNDREDS^
of people will buy shoes and
clothing for the next month. Some of these
people will buy from us. Most of them should.
Almost everyone knows that we sell more stuff
for less money than anyone else in our line.
We are always busy. Never any dull times
here. Visit our store once and you will not
wonder at us being crowded all the time. The
great throngs that crowd our store grows
larger and larger each day.
!~Three weeks ago, when a
car load of shoes was being unloaded for us at
the depot, some folks said, “Thatman iscrazy,
buying so many shoes at once.” Walk in our
store and see where we put them. We piled
them all over the counters and floor. You
can’t see many of them now. They are all
over the town
We never had
in shoes before,
more Ties 75c,
Men’s Fine
and country,
such large sales
Solid Creed-
98c and $ 1.25.
Shoes, Cong, or
lace, 98, $1.25, $2, up in French calfs at $3,
$4, and $5. Children’s shoes from 15c up to
the most durable Kangaroo leathers at 98c
and $ 1.25. Here is the latest and most sightly
shoe made. It’s Zeigier Bro’s., that’s enough,
you know the rest. They can’t be equalled for
fit and style.
WE CAN’T LET YOU PASS our Clothing when
it is so cheap. Boys’ knee pants suits, all
prices and colors, from 50c to $2.50. Our
$7.50 suits in black clay worsteds and grey
Scotch cheviots excel all. Anybody will tell

THE NEW COUNTY ASSURED.
PKOMIN ENTPLANTERSASSURE
US OF THAT FACT.
It is Only a Question of How Large the
Majority Will Be in Favor
of Limestone
County.
L. M. Cobb, of Mfiud, was in to seo
ua Friday. Mr. Cobb said: ‘‘I am
a strong new county man and I elec
tioneer for it every chance I get. I
can’t see why anyone should oppose
it. I live nine miles from Gaffney
and twenty-one miles from Spartan
burg. That’s the reason I am in
favor of it. I have business at
court now but it is so furl don’t want
to go to attend to it, whereas if we
had a county seat at Gaffney I could
attend to my legal business at the
same time I do my trading. I believe
our taxes will bo reduced instead of
Increased. I hope wo will get it, tax
or no tax. I would rather pay $2
more just for my use than miss it.
C. C. Davis, of Mercer, was in
town yesterday. He said toa Leikjek
reporter: “In the first place this
new county gives us every inch of
the water power on Broad River from
Smith’s ford to the state line. 1 con
sider that the tax we will receive
from the O. It. it C. It. It., and the
Southern is quite an item. Besides,
we have the finest mineral section in
the state. I believe if wo get a new
county it will hasten the time when
all Jour water power and resources
will be developed. I have been first
against the new*county and then for
it several times, but now I am on the
new county side to stay. It will in
fuse new life and new energy into
our people and we will all feel like
wo are in a new country as well as a
now county. The portion of Union
that is to be cut off has done much
to build up Gaffney and her property
uml Spartanburg county reaps the
benefit of the taxes. I believe it will
bring about a more brotherly feeling
between our Union county people,
who are thrown to trade here by the
naturul surroundings, and the Spar
tanburg people. By all means lets
have tiie new county. 1 have not
b.en pn mised any olfico and am no
a pirant.”
S. A. Humphries and A. L. .lones,
both new county men and Ledger!tes,
were in to sec us Thursday. Mr.
.Jones renewed his subscription to
Tmi-: Li:ii(ii:n although his time bad
not. ipired. Both say they are new
county men because it will benefit
their Jehildren, and not themselves
alone.
Newton Kirby, one of the most
substantial men and prosperous
farmers in White Flams township,
was in the city last Saturday on busi
ness. Says lie will be out to hear
Senator Tillman on new counties and
cast his vote for the now county on
the 8th of December.
D. II. Beheler, of State Line, was
in the city Friday, Mr. Beheler is a
new county man and in regard to the
project said: “I think the new
counry is a good thing and will help
everybody in the proposed cut-off.
We live too far from Spartanburg
and we could come to Gaffney, tran
sact our business and get home the
same day. In my oninion the op
position have no argument. My sec
tion will give a large majority, but
we have somo opposition. We vote
at Ezells and I firmly believe we will
carry it.”

A Sensational Trial.
A murder trial is not a rare occur
rence in t he Piedmont section of this
state. But the Reese-Luekie-An-
derson-Williams trial at this term
of the York court has boon the most
sensational of two or more decodes.
Mr. liobt.'Anderson’s appearance as a
witness for the prosecution. Mrs.
Anderson’s confession, the startling
and appalling nature of Mrs. Ander
son’s and Williams’ letters, the
wonderful efforts of Mnj. Hart and
and Col. Yeomans for the defense,
followed by Solicitor Henry in his able
presentation of the case, and his
matchless appeal for the enforcement
of the law, the conviction of Reese
and Luckio, the acquittal of Mrs.
Anderson, the attempt of Rocse to
escape and the prompt shooting of
him by Deputy Sheriff Scoggins, his
recapture and wish that he had been
killed, bis serious wounds and dis
consolate condition while languish
ing in jail, all conspire to make the
whole thing sensational indeed
We sincerely trust that only justice
has been done, and being done, we
trust it will have a salutary effect
and deter the wayward from the ways
of the wicked and ever remind them
that the way of the Jtrangresser is
hard. Think of the untold suffering
and anguish of the innocent who
these unfortunate people are near
and dear to.

A New Presbyterian Church.
The hustling building committee
of iiie Presbyterian Church at this
place have broken dirt and com
menced placing material on the
ground for their new church. Wo
have not seen the plans but it will
ho modern in all respects and we
learn will cost five or six thousand
dollars.

Thanksgiving.
Today week has been set apart by
the president of the United States as
a day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
It is proper that one day should be
set aside for that purpose. Wc have
many things which wo should be
thankful for, so let us all without
regard to sect or creed, race or
nationality, observe the day. Let
the merchant forsake his counter, the
planter his plough, the mechanic
his tools and give thanks.
There will bo no business done in
Gaffney that day. The hanks and
stores and all other places of business
will he closed. The day will be
generally observed, so if you have
trading to do come in Wednesday
and do it so you will not be incon
venienced.
Deaths.
Miss Sullie Tillotson died last
Monday after an illness of about
three weeks. She was the daughter
of Widow Tillotson and a most popu
lar young lady. She was a lovt ly
Christian young woman and no cause
in the church of her choice—the
Methodist—was ever advocated that
did not receive her hearty support.
The funeral services were conduc
ted from the Methodist church Tues
day afternoon by the RevJ. I). Grout
and the remains interred in Lime
stone cemetery.
The five months old child of Mr.
and Mrs. G. W. Self died on Sunday
and the remains were interred ai
Limestone cemetery Monday.
