Of course, the revision of the books will cut the number down, but the erasure ot many names will not indi cate that iraud has been attempted, iho dead, for instance, will amount to a considerable figure.

Tho cotton mills throughout the Piedmont section of South Carolina are having considerable difficulty in securing a sufficient number of opera tives to keep the mill machinery run ning.

A Clinnj;e of Dates, Last week Mr. Arthur Butt exinb ited ins ponorama in Clifton. He had exhibited his “Revelations to St. John on Putmos,” when the rains of Friday and Saturday prevented his presenting the other two paintings. The people were so delighted with the first exhibition that they pre vailed on Mr. Butt to remain over for Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day of this week and give exhibitions, therefore ho was compelled to post pone his visit to Gaffney. Mr. Butt will be here next Thursday, Friday and Saturday without fail. He has a wonderful exhibition. Mr. Butt did tiie work all alone, and the localizer of The Ledger had the privilege of seeing the paintings in .Mr. Butt’s studio before they were iver pre- sented to tho public. For nineteen years he has been presenting his paintings before the public and they have been endorsed by the press, pulpit and public, and are today the most original and masterful of the kind in the world. This is especially true of his “Revelations.” Don’t fail to see the exhibition Thursday night if you want to see something that you will remember for many years. Dcaih of a I.ittle Girl.
