COMMENCED HERE JUST TWELVE
months ago, strangers in a strange land,
with grit, hustle, experience and SPOT
CASH to do business. Our bomb shells have
set up the war whoop as we hear on all sides,
and the folks somehow crowd our way. They
are bound to come, we do the pocketbook good
every time.
More goods for less money than ever sold
in business records. Stacks and stacks of
goods every day. Examine the freight books
and see who is moving the goods.
When we claim to be the cheapest store in
Gaffney it’s no idle talk, as stubborn facts can’t
be disputed.
One year ago we started with a partition in
the middle of the house, feeling our way as we
went. Now the partition is out, the wires of a
cash system is spread over the house, it is filled
from front to back door with piles of goods at
hard time prices. Did you ever come to our
store when we were not crowded with eager
buyers? We try to see how cheap we can sell
you stuff.
We’re Fishing
for your trade and we are using the best bait
we can find—good reliable stuff at lower prices
than you ever paid. We do not promise to
give you a five dollar shoe for one dollar, not
at all, but we do promise to give you a better
shoe for the money than you ever bought be
fore.
Just received, one case of Zeigler Bros’
Twentieth Century* shoes for ladies, in Ia:e,
sizes from 2 to 6. They are beauties ot the
latest fad. See them in our show window.
We sell the best shoe for $ 1.25 found in the
city.
Ladies’ fine shoes from 73c to $2.98.
Men’s fine shoes in lace or gaiter 98c,
$ 1.25, $ 1.98, $2 25, $3.25, $4.85, any price
to suit your pocketbook.
Men’s coarse shoes 75c, 83c and a good
heavy one worth $ 1.25 we sell at 98c.
There’s no mistake when
the cheapest place in Gaffney.

Prof. Gamewell’s Lecture.
It is seldom that an audience in
(jraflney enjoys such a literary treat
is that afforded us by Prof. Game-
well’s lecture Friday tiiuht last.
The Prof, came by invitation of the
literary club and delivered one of his
most charming lectures to a large
and appreciative audience.
The subject of his lecture was “The
better side of Roman life and charac
ter.”
The club has been studying Roman
history for the past few week, which
made a lecture on this subject of es
pecial interest. The historians writ
ing of Rome, tell us more of the cruel
ties of the past age, of crimes com
mitted, blood shed, etc., but in this
lecture Prof. Gamewell spoke of the
work by the literary men of Rome,
telling of the affectionate letters left
by such men as Pliny and Seneca.
The industry, perseverance, labors of
these writers was spoken of at length,
thus calling to mind more of the
good things that pertain to the eter
nal city in contrast with the deeds of
i he tyrant Nero.
The club and public in general en- '
joyed the lecture and hope the Prof, j
'•an find it convenient to return and j
favor us again.
Mrs. Gamewell accompanied th*
Prof, which only made the occasion
more enjoyable.
Dr. Miller, the president of the
dub, presided with his accustomed
grace.

Smoking Bee Hives.
Last Friday our friend, John Pain
ter, who lives near Midway, invited
The Lkdgku to go home with him
and spend the night, as he intended
to rob the bee gum the next morn
ing. so The Ledgek and John got into
the “carryall,” as John designates
his wagon and away to the rual dis
tricts we went. On arriving we wen
made welcome by the better-half of
' he hou <ehold and all t he lit t le Paint -
rs. Aftera nice supper the youn,
ladies played several selecti ms oe
the organ and then we chatted until
the hour of bedtime. Bright and
early the next morning our host
aroused us from a peaceful slumber
and we went out to enjoy anothe-
good meal. Then came the honey
gathering. Everbody on tne place
was interested and before it was fin
ished everybody had a great chunk
of honey comb in their hands munch
ing it. John has an interesting
household and he is a good farmer,
but The Ledger is decidedly of the
opinion that Mrs. John Painter is
as good a farmer as he is and that
much of his success is due to her en
ergy and pluck. May they both live
long to enjoy many honey gatherings.
John brought us back in the buggy
and it was decidedly better riding
than in the •‘carryall.”

Borrowed the Watch!
Ozro Cooper stopped with his
Uncle Matthew Amos, who lives in
the western outskirts of the city, Iasi
Saturday night a week ago. During
the night thieves reached in at, the
window and got his clothes and rifled
the pockets, taking some mo. ey and
a gold watch. Ozro’s father. D. W,
Cooper, made some inquries about
the matter which evidently reached
the ears of the miscreant, as nn last
Thursday morning the watch was
found in the same window from
which the clothes were taken. It
was running on time. The money,
however, was not returned. Mr.
Cooper thinks he has a clue to the
thief and if the money is returned he
promises not to push the matter fur
ther.
Fires Near Us.
The many friends of Isaac Smith,
of ihickety. regret that his house
was accidentally burned on the I7lh
Inst., hut are glad that it was par
tially insured. Mr. Smith will re
build at once. He and family are
at present living in this city with
his daughter. Mrs. Edna Easterly.
W v are also pained to chronicle
the burning of Mr. Case's dwelling
near Thickety on the 19th inst. Mr.
Case’s loss was heavier as he had no
insurance. Mr. Case’s house was
known as the old “Apple Jack”
place and was a large building.
“May the winds he tempered to
the shorn lambs.”

and everyone needs it at all times of the
year. Malaria is always about, and the
only preventive ;n 1 r.-lief is to keep the
Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit,
and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM
MONS Liver regulator, the red Z.
Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio,
says: “SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR
broke a case of Malarial Fever of three
years’ standing for me, and less than
one bottle did the business. I shall use
it when in need, and recommend it.”
Be sure that you get it. Always look for
the RED Z on the package. And don’t
forget the word REGULATOR. It is SIM
MONS Liver Regulator, and there is
only one, and every one who takes it is
sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS
ALL IN THE REMEDY. Take it also for
Biliousness and Side Headache; both are
caused by a s!u. ' Liver.
