Whiskey does its work exact and from an artistic stand point it would he culled fine. Its work is so exact that the result can be told with cer tainty when the job is commenced.

THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE Ofllrfi-H F.lerteri hihI Arrangement* t’om- for the ••Smoker.” The Municipal League met Wed nesday evening at the home of Mr. Geo. W. Cotton. The report of the committee on constitution and by laws was read and adopted. The committee on the “smoker” to be given tomorrow night reported pro gress. This will be a nice social affair and will doubtless prove a great success. Let everybody turn out and have a good time. The reception committee will be on hand and see to it that all visitors are made welcome. After routine business hud been completed it was agreed to go into an election of officers, with the follow ing result: President—Ed. H. De- Camp; first Vice President—G. W.

Ste gall, Hasty, F. G. Browning, Stroup, G. W. Cotton, Win. G. Lees and L. Hope. It will be noted, perhaps, that the majority of these gentlemen are from the Carpet Mills. That is due to the fact that the idea originated from the employees of the mill and that so far they are the principal movers. A cordial invitation is extended, however, to all male citizens of Gaff ney twenty years of age to join. The object of the organization is purely social and to provote the gen eral social and material welfare of Gaffney.

Mr. Smith Elected Warden. The election Tuesday for wardens to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of It. M. Wilkins was noted for its quietness and the good order which prevailed throughout the day. Mr. Littlejohn, our efficient postmaster, and Mr. W. H. Hraith, one of our most progressive business men, were the only candidates. And so close was the vote no one could ap proximate the result until the count was finished, which developed that Mr. Smith had received eleven votes more than Mr. Littlejohn. Mr. Smith will make a good warden and will have no more ardent sup porter in all his efforts to advance the interest of Gaffney than Mr. Lit tlejohn. * Kwllroad Survey. Captain Kingsley has completed the survey locating the line of the S. 0. ifc G. proposed new road from Gaffney to CliitOn and is now out on the line locating Mand lines and other Incidental data before beginning work. We learn that Capt. Kingsley will complete this work this week and hope that the work of grading will then soon follow. Facts Without Frills Our goods are always easy to sell. We do not have to talk an arm off a customer to sell a bill. The goods sell themselves. They are bought right; right as to quality and price, right as to pattern and style, right as to color and design. We have no hard stock. Our goods are new and fresh and seasonable and are what the people want. We handle no damaged goods. Goods will get damaged soon enough when you begin to wegr them and, if they are damaged to start with, there is not much wear to be got out of them. We sell good, substantial goods at the same prices that are usually charged for shoddy goods and for much less than other people have to charge for the same class of goods. So convinced are we that the prices cannot be beat that we have a standing offer to take back and refund the money for any goods, if the purchaser finds after leaving the store that the prices can be beat, or for any other reason. No fairer offer can be made than this and no store that does not know that it has the lowest possible prices would dare to make it. Our trade is increasing every day and we know that the people bring us their cash because they get big value for it and because when they have cash to spend they know it is to their interest td' spend it at a store that does a strictly cash busi ness. A Fire. About 11 o’clock Wednesday night the fire alarm was sounded which soon aroused the people, who, as soon as they left their houses saw that the fire was in the central part of town which increased the excite ment and made the rush to see rapid and general. The fire originated in T. Daven port’s large barn on the alley just east of Limestone Street near R. C. Corry's house. The barn was a large frame building and contuintd a large quanity of hay, some oats and corn, besides Mr. Davenport’s house car riage and delivery wagons. The horses, wagons, and carriage were res cued from the burning building and saved. The fire was soon commun icated to Corry’s burn which also con tained horses mules wagons and feed nearly all of which was taken out be fore the fire had made much headway. The barn, however,like Davenport's was entirely consumed. Every effort possible was made to save the building but without avail, as is usual with buildings of their char acter. Mr. Davenport’s loss will amouut to $350 and Corry.s to probably $250 which is a total loss as their was no insurance on either of the buildings. It is not known how the fire origi nated. 44 Trust Not to , Appearances. Wat which seems hard to bear may be a great blessing.
