I and noble young
| was sunshiny and bright and be
loved everybody and was in turn
loved by everybody. It was bis de
light to make those with whom be
came in contact happy and nothing
gave him greater pleasure than to
have a crowd of children around him
or he at the head of some juvenile
enterprise.
Mr. Doggett was in the twenty-
j sixth year of his age and was just
entering into what promised to be a
j most useful life. For twelve years he
! had been with the firm of (’arroil it
: Carpenter and at the lime of his
| death was at the head of the dress
I goods department. Ho enjoyed the
■ esteem of his employers as few young
• men ever can.
Mr. Doggett was a member of the
1 Baptist church and a leading spirit
in the K. of l*.
The funeral took place Tuesday
! from the Baptist church and was per-
! haps the largest funeral gathering of
I a young man ever held in Gaffney.
The community wanted to pay trib-
! ute to his memory. The funeral
j services were conducted by Rev, B.
i Robertson, the pastor, assisted by
Rev. G. M. Boyd, of the methodist
church. The pall-bearers wore A.

Store of the Gaffney Manufacturing Co.
The fall opening ot toe store of the
GalTney Manufacturing (’omp n
took place last Saturday. Manager
Hamrick had taken sp* ei aI pains to
thoroughly advertise the event. He
stated to The Lkdgkk that the vol
ume of business was the greatest
yet in the history of the store for
any one day. He said he had a tre
mendous crowd all day and that the
throng were an eager lot of purchas
ers. When asked if he attributed any
of the success of the day to adver
tising in The Lkdgkk ho said:
“Yes, hundreds of people came in
here and told us of what they had
seen i»i The Lkdgkk. We declared
by far a larger dividend than for any
single day yet, and that after we had
deducted all expenses for advertising,
etc. Yes, our investment in
Ledger has been a paying one.”

is of a very act.vo order, as 1 speedily
discovered vheu I b pped from the
Oriental express into t fiat econo of mad
confusion and tumult, die Constantino
ple Elation. It was drizzling hard. I
was speechless from r. heavy cold. Wo
were all three worn out with the absurd
and fatiguing travesty of a quarantine
on the frontier. Twenty Tmkish porter*
made a wild rush for our bags the in
Etaut the train stopped and forght over
them like howling beasts. A tall man
with a cast in his eye handed me a card
on which my own name was legibly
written, and said ho was the dragoman
scut by the hotel to take ns in charge.
A little man, with a nervous and excited
manner, handed mo a card on which also
my name was legibly written and said
he was the dragoman scut by the hotel
to take us iu charge. It was a case for
the judgment of Solomon, and I lacked
not only the wisdom to decide, but the
voice in which to utter my decision
There was nothing for it but to let the
claimants fig lit it out, which they pro
ceeded to do with fervor, rolling over
the station floor and pounding each oth
er vigorously.
The tall man, being much the better
combatant, speedily routed his rival,
dragged him ignominiously from tho
carriage when ho attempied to scale it
and carried us off in triumph. But tho
race is not always to tho swift, nor the
battle to tho strong. The little drago
man was game enough not to know
when he was beaten. He followed us in
auother carriage, and made good his case
evid utly with the hotel landlord, for we
found him placid and smiling in the
corridor next morning waiting his orders
for the day. I never ventured to ask how
this change came about, lest indiscreet
inquiries should bring a second drago
man upon my devoted head. So Deme
trius remained our guide, philosopher
and friend for tho three weeks we spent
in Cuustantiuople.
Ho was not a bad little man, on the
whole; was extremely patient about car
rying wraps and was honestly anxious
we should suffer no annoyance iu tho
streets. But his knowledge upon any
subject was of tho haziest description.
Ho had a perfect talent for getting us
to places at the wrong time—but that
may have been partly our fault—and if
there was anything ini westing to tell
be assuredly never told it. On the other
hand, ho considered that, to our occi
dental ignorance, the simplest architec
tural devices needed an explanation. He
would say: “This is a well,” “That is
a doorway,” “These are columns sup
porting the roof,” with all tho benevo
lent simplicity of Harry and Lucy’s
father eulighteuing those very intelli
gent and ignorant little people.
Tho only severe trial that Demetrius
suffered in our service was t ho occasion
al attendance of the two kuvasses from
the American embassy, whose protection
was afforded us twice or thrice, through
the courtesy of tho embassador. These
magnificent creatures threw our poor
little dragoman so completely into the
to us; the other, » Circassian, wfte
pride was t< mpered by affability, eat

the strictly necessary ir tercourMi 1
bear it sa:d now and then by censorioM
critics that American women are the
most arrogant of their sex, affecting •
superiority that is based upon no juatl*
finble claim. But I will candidly admit
that all such airy uotioni, born of the
new world and of tbe nineteenth oes*
tury, dwind.jd rapidly away before the
disdainful composure of those two lor4*

meats of onr time and place. 1 have net
been without my share of self assertion,
but my meekness of spirit in Constantt*

hud in being snubbed by two ignorant
kuvusses blazing with gold embroidery,
will always remain one of the salutary
humiliations of my life.—Agues Reg-

Theology.
A writer in The Church Standard say*
that a guide iu the Holy Land made the
following historical explanation to some
Americans by whom be was employed:
“King Saul, you know, was called Panl
after his conversion, and you canalwayi
tell a churchman, for be never fails M
speak of him os St. Paul ” This recall!
tbe old story of a stupid candidate for
orders in Oxford who had been repeated
ly plucked in his divinity “exam. “ It
was at lust decided to ask him one easy
question and let him go through if he
answered it correctly. The question se
lected was, “What was the formtv
name of St. Paul, the great apostle
the gentiles?” As the examiners hoped,
the young man answered “Saul," whioh
was correct. But just as they were
breathing a sigh of relief over his suc
cess the young fellow, proud of bii
achievement and anxious to show how
much more he knew, turned back aftec
he bad opoued the door and added, “He
was the son of Kish. “

■f EVERYBODY I TRADING I AT I THE I COMPANY * STORE!
The fact that we were selling clothing cheaper than other merchants could buy, was printed in The
Ledger last week, and as a result our store was besieged with buyers all day last Saturday. Probably
never before in the history of Gaffney was trade so brisk as with us last Saturday. It seemed as if
every woman in town and country was out shopping and all buying their goods from us. Nor was it
confined to the women alone. They brought with them their husbands, their children, their brothers
and sisters. By 9 o’clock we had to call in extra help; by 12 o’clock additional help was needed, and in
the afternoon the tired clerks ceased asking the people what they wanted and repaired to the Clothing
and Bargain counters and wrapped up goods as the customers crowded pell mell around them. In the
evening the lawyers, the doctors, the operatives, the brick layers and the carpenters all joined the
throng of buyers. The crowd seemed more like a circus than an opening day. It was reported that
several clerks fainted during the day and others threatened to resign, but this has not been confirmed.
We have private advices that if the rush that we are having daily continues many clerks in other
stores will lose their job.
• . secre t °f ** a N ' s « we just everlastingly get there with both feet in buying our goods, as we have a man in New York who does noth
ing but hunt bargains for us.
Then follow the smiling crowd and save golden dollars is the advice of your humble servant.
