Idleness is death to character. “They don’t make much fuss about it.” We are speaking of De Witt’s Early Risers, the famous lit tle pills for constipation, bilousness, and all stomach and liver troubles. They never gripe. Cherokee Drug Company. Died Yesterday at the Home of Mr. D Martin. One going into the cotton exchange of the P. A. Gardner Co., yesterday could see that something was the matter. Genial Will Hunt didn’t meet you with his smile and accus tomed gush of pleasantry. Mr. Gard ner’s face wore a sober look. Busi ness men who frequent the place gazed stolidly at the figures lined on the bulletin board and never spoke. There was an air of quiet and solem nity pervading all. Even the tele graphic insturnents didn’t tick right. It was all explained by the fact that Hal Gaffney was dead. There was hardly a man in Spar tanburg who didn’t know Hal Gaff ney and who didn’t like him. He was a whole souled, big hearted and gentlemanly a fellow as ever breath ed. And, as his employers state— and they know what they’re talking about—he was the finest ope’/ator ever known in this city. It didn’t make any difference how things went. Hal had a cheerful and friendly smile at all times, and had the rare faculty of always making any one feel at home without being too familiar. Then again, the wires never got down so low but what he would get the market reports and letters in and always correctly. Ho will be sadly missed—keenly so by his employers, and his friends will ever remember him. Michael Henry Gaffney was 25 years of age and the third son of Mr. and Mrs. W. \V T . Gaffney, of Gaffney, S. C. He has been in Spartanburg off and on for the past seven years. For the past four years he has been the operator for the P. A. Gardner Co. Five years ago he was married to Miss Alice Martin, of this city, who survives him. About five weeks ago he was taken sick with fever and partially recovered and in a week was at work again. He soon re lapsed and his case grew dangerous. He gradually began sinking until the end came yesterday|morning at 11:30. He died at the residence of his father- in-law, Mr. I). Martin, on Magnolia street. His body was shipped to Gaffney yesterday afternoon for burial to-day. Kind hands of those who loved him bore the casket from the house to the depot, where he was shipped last night, and his relatives have the sympathy of the entire city in their sore bereavement. His mother, sister, and wife desire to thank the people of Spartanbur-j for their kind services, missions and attentions during the late sicknes:- of Mr. Gaffney.—Wednesday’s Spar tanburg Herald.
