Smith is building a neat cottage on one of his lots out on east Frederick street. All wagons are fertilizer wagons now. Even those bringing lumber to the city carry fertilizer back. The railroads have been talking to the city authorities relative to fur nishing water for their trains. Uncle Tom Coudeloek, nf Gov dey- ville, was in the city jesterday and while here inspected the flowing well. Magistrate Lee, of White Plains, committed a negro man to jail Thurs day charged with assault and battery. Col. Sinn Jefferies has made some attractive improvement on his lot on Jefferies street, between Petty and Johnson. II. F. Pridmore is building a gar den on his JJuford street lot before he builds his house. The house, however, goes up soon. Charley Gaffney says, notwithstand ing the bad weather he is ready to begin putting in fertilizers as soon us it quits raining. Charles Austell, who was confined to his home by sickness a few days Inst week, is out again looking a little thiner than usual. The wheat crop is beginning to look bet ter now. There is always a wonderful ‘‘come-out” on it under propitious circumstances. The collectors for funds for the re union in Charleston met Saturday and report that with little real work yet they are getting on well. W. (). Lipscomb returned recently from his railroad camp near Dunbar ton. He thinks he will complete his work there by the 15!h of April. Two white men were put up Satur day morning for creating a row in our western suburbs Friday night. They got two and half or ten days. The Victor Cotton Oil Mill soon to he built in Gaffney, was named "Victor’’ for Victor Lipscomb, the youngest brother of Air. J. N. Lip scomb. Parnet Lipscomb came in Satur day afternoon and reported the engi neers corps as getting on well with the railroad survey between Gaffney and Spartanburg. We are now looking for an engin eer every day and ns soon as he ar rives steps will be taken to com mence the work of putting in Gaff ney’s system of waterworks. Ilochell Dawkins, a worthy colored citizen of the Asbury neighborhood, was in the city Saturday. While here he paid his respects to The Led ger in the shape of a renewal. The hot supper given by the ladies of the First Uuptist church last Fri day night was a grand sucess. It turned in a creditable sum to the building fund of the congregation. Giles Hill, of this city, curries the mail from Gaffney to Etta Jane and lie is so attentive to his duties that yesterday was the first week day that he lias spent in the city since Christ mas. John Fainter earno into the city soon Saturday morning but was out again by good breakfast time. John’s farming operations are behind like other people’s, but ho gets in lots of paying work even in wet weather. Magistrate Lee of White Plains, reports that he has some pretty unruly negroes in his bailiwick, but that be hns commenced on them and will quiet them or increase the force of the coun f y chaingang considerably. The first lot of forty, of the cot tages now being built by Faker & Lemaster for the Gaffney Manufac turing Company are nearing com- pletition. We learn that the com pany will build thirty more this sum mer. Col. Sam Jefferies has turned over his trained blood hounds to Sheriff Thomas for the use of the county. These dogs were raised by Col.

Alxander a young mer chant of this city has been appointed Beer Dispenser in Gaffney by the County Board of control. Mr. Alex ander has not yet secured u house for the "privilege’’ but thinks he will open on Limestone street. A young negro man was in town a few days ago talking of the good time ho had here the last 1th of July, and said ho would bo on hand the next one sure, and suddenly turned to a young white man and asked if it would not come "nex Angus." Kev, F. C. Hickson has taken tem porary charge of the Mount Farou Baptist in Cherokee township. Mr Hickson is one of the ablest preacher in the State and the Mount Paron peo ple will be fortunate if his previous engagement will allow him time to serve them as a regular supply. Rev. J. Buiiey is still collecting Revolutionary reininiceiices and now probably has the most valuable col lection of manuscript refering to Revolutionary times of any man in the State. He is untiring in his ef forts and is by every possible means that honest zeal and industry can suggest still adding to his valuable store. Uncle Tom Dawkins, a worthy old colored man from Asbury, came in to see The Ledger Saturday and re newed his subscription. Uncle Tom had been selling his cotton and had plenty of money. He is seventy-two years old and likes to talk of old times and is very proud of having belonged to "big folks" before the war. A careless drayman ran his dray over a little daughter of Mr. Hugh Wilkins Friday evening, and she was seriously hurt. No bones were bro ken, however, and she is now getting on nil right. The police took the of fender before the Mayor who gave him ten dollars or thirty days on the chain gang for his carelessness. He paid t he ten. We learn that thoS. C. it G.. people are succeeding well in securing the rigbs of way, both in the city and county, for their line of road from this city to Spartanburg. The gen tleman getting the rights of way are courteous, and gentlemanly and are doing their work just like the busi ness men that they are. Their part of the work will be on time.

The Alba Heywood Company, which will be seen here Thursday evening at Limestone College, is mnk- ng an extended tour of the South and receiving the hearty endorsement of the Southern critics. We herein quote the following from the San Antonio (Tex.) Daily Express, of February 10: "Alba Heywood and his Company wau greeted last night by a large au dience. The performance was in every respect most pleasing. The vein of humor, which was the char acteristic feature of most of the num bers, was a happy hit and kept the audience in a roar during.the entire evening. "Mr. Heywood excells as a charac ter actor, while his pleasant voice and stage presence added much to the pleasing effects. "As a dramatic reader he takes rank with the best to be seen on the stage or lyceum platform. He does not depend upon mere tricks of voice or vocal Hip-llaps for effect. He reads his lines correctly, smoothly and effectively. His intonations, his in flections. his pauses, and his concep tions of the author’s meaning, was as nearly faultless as the dramatic power which he brought to bear, to empha size the sentiment imd intent of the lines. "This was especially notable in his character creation, ‘St Peter at the gate.’ But Mr. Heywood is not mere ly an entertainer, ho is a remarkable character delinator, and he was ex ceedingly accommodating in respond ing to encores, which are so numerous as to greatly lengthen the program. After appearing in eccentric char acters and hinging ballads, he would devote a little time to narrating funny stories, which convulsed the audience. He would have been a whole show within himself. Mr. Heywood was well supported by Miss Elise Reimer, who did some brilliant work as a pi anist, and Miss Flora Daescher, .vhose violin solos were played with consum mate skill, good empression, and won enthusiastic encores. "Mr. Harold DeBray, as the dra matic basso, sustained his part most crediably. The numbers were all short, bright and were carried out without the slightest drag. In short, it was an evening of great good hu mor, and everybody went homo well pleased " Tin* .Mu) or'* Court. It must have been a sad duty to the Mayor Monday morning to set in his court and try u parcel ot young white men for being drunk and dis orderly ; to look upon their once fair countenances, then burnished by the dust of prison cells and lacerated by each others hands, which were in tended by their Maker for nobler work, for work that would build up a structure for themselves that would keep them on the plane of the high characters of their ancestors and make themselves worthy and useful citizens, an honor to their country and the pride of their parents. The young men, however, have chosen a different course, one which, if continued in, will disgrace themselves and entail sleepless night and untold misery on the parents who bore them. Young men quit now, show yourselves worthy of your race and the loving parents now so hurt because of your shame. Tlu* Hull Storm. A terrific hail storm passed over the city Sunday night about 11 o’clock. Some of the stones were as large as partridge eggs, and in a few instances broke winddow glasses. We have heard of no other damage. The wheat and oats were not fur enough advanced to be permanently hurt, and owing to the continued wet weather, few other plants were above the ground. The bail was accompanied by a heavy shower of rain and followed Monday by a cold damp day, which again stops farm work. Important MeetliiK.

Has Is of Prosperity. Whilo wo Hhouhl do everything in our power lo push the city forward, the fact should not bo overlooked that all material prosperity must come from the agricultural section around us. and every effort should he directed towards bettering the condi tions in the country. What we want is farmers who will occupy the tracts of splendid farming land around Ma con and make (hem self-supporting and profitable.—Macon news. The above applies with equal force to Gaffney. All pull together at the same end of the rope then town and county will both move onward and upward together. A Good Selection. The Executive Board of the South Carolina Sunday School Association have chosen Rev. B. P. Robertson, pastor of the Firt Baptist church, to be a delegate from this State to the International Sunday Convention which meets in Atlanta in April. Mr. Robertson is able and a hard worker. Ho will be a worthy and creditable representative of the State in that august body of good people. WOMAN’S NIGHTMARE. Bhe Shudders When She Realizes the Danger and Pain of Child-bearing. There is so much suffering and danger in store for the young mother, that her happy anticipation soon gives way to a feeling of dread at the thought of the pain which she must undergo. This constant fear so preys upon the mind of many women that it fills them with ter ror and makes baby’s coming a source of the greatest anxiety and dread. All the suffering and danger of the ordeal can be avoided by the use of "Mother’s Friend," which prepares the body for this important event. It relieves “morning sickness,” and many other unpleasant conditions which ex ist during this time. Thousands of women praise "Mother’s Friend” for bringing them safely through the most critical period of their lives. Everv woman should send their nams and address to the Bradfield Regulator Co., Atlanta, Georgia, and receive free, valuable information on the subject. 0. E.
