Respectfully,
The Gaffney Light Infantry gave
their first prize drill at the city hall
Monday night. Mrs. Fay Gaffney
managed the first part of the pro
gramme, which consisted of tableaux,
recitations, songs, etc.
The singing of Mrs. Gaffney, Mrs.
Laney and Miss Gaffney was pur ex
cellence and the ladies were forced
to respond to an enthusiastic encore.
Baby Daisy Wilkins' singing and
graceful bowing just brought down
the hou^e. and Little 8arah Carpen
ter’s recitation was one of the sweet
est numbers on the program. Mas
ter Robert Laney was called twice
before the footlights after his appear-
Ilis sweet sing-
clear enunciation are re
markable for a boy of seven, and his
number was the best of the evening.
Sweet Little Mary Shuford made a
great ‘ hit'' in a song, and her re
sponse to the encore was hailed with
delight by the audience. Minnie
Lynch was great in a song entitled
“Asleep at the switch.” She, too,
had to.respond to an encore. One of
the most beautiful pictures which it
was our good fortune to see was Miss
Blanch Corry in the tableau “Abou
Ben Ahdem.” Her beautiful com
plexion, heighthened by the calcium
light, made one think of the angels.
The broom drill by thirteen little
girls led by Myrtle Gaffney was one
of the most heartily enjoyed num-
Inrs on the program. Hud the
medal been contested between this
company and the Gaffney Light In
fantry it is hard to tell which would
have carried off the honors. The
vocal solo by Mrs. Allein was beauti
fully rendered and was received with
enthusiasm.
This part of the program was a
great success and Mrs. Fay Gaffney
deserves the gratitude of all who
were present for an evening of rare
enjoyment.
Next came the drill for the beauti
ful gold medal given by the Gaffney
L’ght Infantry to their best drilled
man, participated in by the entire
company. The commands were given
by Gupt. Bell and Lieut. H. Fay
Gaffney. Col. Wardlaw and Lieu
tenant Kison, both in lull uniforn,
judged the contest. The boys went
down one by one before the fiat of
the inexorable judges until there
were left only Sam Clary and Roland
Gaines. These two young men
drilled with the precision and skill of
veterans for more than thirty min
utes before the judges could detect
a flaw or an error in the execution of
tlie manual, when finally Clary
moved one of his fingers which gave
the medal to Gaines.
Col. T. Ktobo Farrow in a magnifi
cent burst of oratory presented the
medal to the victor, and in the midst
of three cheers for Col. Farrow and
three times three for the best drilled
man of the Gaffney Light Infantry
the large and delighted audience dis
persed to their homes. Thus ended
one of the most enjoyable and de
lightful entertainments that it was
over the good fortune of the people
of Gaffney to witness. Many have
expressed the wish that Mrs. Gaffney
will lepcat the performance at un
date.

Activity About the O. R. & C. Depot.
The advent of the Ohio River and
Charleston Railway into Gaffney
its has created an activity about
depots which is bringing into busi
ness prominence a hitherto quiet
residence part of the city. The com
pany’s efficient agent and his whole
force are as busy as bees, the con
stant rattle of the city drays on
Frederick street, the private ware
houses that are being built on the
company’s side tracks and the regu
lar arrival and departure of trains
three times a day ere evidences of
the growing importance of this part
of the city. We look to gee some of
the beautiful residences in this sec
tion give place to business houses in
the near future, and Frederick, now
one of the prettiest, to he one of the
most active business marts of the
city.
Coaper Limestone Institute.
Cooper Limestone Institute is in
fine condition. The girls have all
just passed the semi yearly examina
tion. and have entered enthusiasti
cally upon the studies of the second
term.
While a number of the girls have
been called home this session on
account of sickness in their families,
most of them have returned and all
in the Institute are in the most per
fect health.
Cotton Not All Sold.

Gaffney’s go Ahead.
During court week an old and
worthy citizen of Cherokee whose
business required him to spend a
night in the city, said he had often
marveled at Gaffney’s growth and the
rapid rise of her business men to
wealth. But one night in the city
had solved the problem for him. All
this growth ami wealth had only been
produced by work. He said he saw
the stores open by daylight, with the
proprietors and all employees present
and at work. Also that these stores
were kept open until 10 o’clock at
night, with all hands present and
readily and cheerfully serving their
patrons.
He said to work sixteen hours a
day, and push it, was bound to tell in
any business.

still being, worked so as to materially
improve our highways. County Su

Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
“Electric Bitters,” and to my great
joy and surprise, the first Mottle nude
a decided Improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they' saved
