At Bull Run.
Comrade Chas. Elms, of Meehanlcsvlllo,
N. V., was struck by a piece of shell which
later caused severe heart trouble. Ho says:
“At second Bull Run a piece of shell
lodged in iny shoulder, and later
rheumatism set in, which in turn af
fected my heart to such extent that
several doctors pronounced my case
incurable. Dr. Miles’ New Heart
Cure relieved my pains, shortness of
breath and enabled me to work; also to
sleep soundly, and prolonged my life.”'

THE FIRST ANNUAL
MUSIC FESTIVAL,
Will Take Place May 8th and
9th.
MATINEE PERFORMANCE.
The Limestone Chora! Society Have En
gaged a Number of the Finest Singers in
America for the Grand May Musical
Festival.
The first annual Music Festival of
the Limestone Choral Society, will
occur May 8th and 9th. Three con
certs will be given; two evening, and
one afternoon concert. The Choral
Society will have the assistance of
several of the finest soloists that can
be secured in tliis country.
They have engaged for soprano
Mme. Evta Kileski Bradbury, of Bos
ton, one of the best known artists of
New England. Her beautiful, dra
matic voice captivates all who hear
her and her services are in great de
mand, everywhere, this season. We
can count ourselves fortunate in hav
ing been able to secure her.
Mr. Herbert Johnson, the magnifi
cent tenor of Hie famous “Ituggie’s
Street Quartette” of Boston, has
been engaged. Mr. Johnson has of
ten appeared at the great music
festivals of Worcester, Mass., with
the Handel and Hayden Oratorio
Society of Boston; and with other
famous choral organizations, where
ills beautiful lyric voice lias won tiie
hearts of all.
The Bass Soloist, Mr. Joseph S.
Baernstein, of New York, is the most
famous basso on the American Con
cert platform today. He is already
engaged this season for nearly all the
great choral festivals of this coun
try, including the greatest festival
ever held in America,—the 19th.
National Sangerfest at Brooklyn, in
June and July of this year.
This will be the first appearance of
these three artists in the South.
Mrs. Craco Battis Brown, the
teacher of voice culture at Lime
stone College, will be the Muzzo-con-
tralto soloist. Mrs. Brown is well-
known to all Carolinians as a thor
oughly reliable artist.
Mr. Max Bcnciix, formerly concert-
meister of the Theo. Thomas Orches
tra, will be the solo violinist. Mr.
Bendix is considered, by competent
critics, the greatest American violin
ist. He lias been heard in almost
every part of this country, and once
iieard, never forgotten. He will be
heard at eacli concert and will prove
a great attraction.
The oilier soloists will be announc
ed later.
The Society, with the assistance of
the soloists, will give Max Bruch’s
“Fair Ellen,” Gounod's ‘‘CXXXVII
Psalm,” and other shorter choral
works.
At the afternoon concert the artists
will give a miscellaneous program, at
which time will bo given, for the first
time in South Carolina. Liza Leh
mann's famous “In a Persian Car
den.” This work has created a sen
sation in the musical world, during
the last few years, and this will be
its first hearing in this section of
the country.
Low rates are assured on all rail
roads in North and South Carolina.
Season tickets, admitting to the throe
concerts, will bo sold for $2 00 if
purchased before April 2lth. After
that date, all seats will be $1.00 for
each concert. No single admission
cen be reserved until the season
ticket sale is concluded. Dr. W. B.
Dul’re, at Dr. Crawley’s drug store,
will have entire charge of the sale of
tickets, and all reservations should
he made at an early date to insure
choice of seats.
It is hoped that the citizens of
Gaffney will enthusiastically support
this first Festival of Hie Choral So
ciety, thereby aiding them in their
efforts to give the lovers of good mu
sic, in this part of the South, a gen
uine musical feast.

Mark Swan, leading man of
“B ovn\- i i Town,” w) o is interested
in the great national game, and says
the Brooklyn’s will win the penant
next season, lias written a thesis on
“Base Ball Among The Ancients.”
From Hiis are gleamed the following
interesting points which help to es
tablish his contentions.
The devil was the first cracker—he
cracked Eve when she stole first.
Adam stole second.
When Isaac met Rebecca at the
well, she was walking with a pithuer,
Samson struck out a great many
times when ho beat Hie Philistines.
Moses made his first run when ho
slew the Egyptians.
Cain made a big hit when he killed
Able.
Abraham made a sacrifice.
The prodigal son made a home run.
David was a great long distance
thower.
IDENTIFYING THE DEAD.
Procnntloim Tr.kon l;y Rrltlnli Sol-
dit-rx Beforo Going; lulu Hattie.
The names cf the British killed and
wounded after a battle are ascertained
by means of the Identification cards
which all our soldiers carry sowed up
In the left hand corner of their khaki
tunics.
On the card are written the soldier’s
name, rank, regimental number, to
gether with the name and address of
his next of kin. The latter are added so
that the authorities may know where
to forward the effects of any soldier
who gets killed.
After an engagement the roll Is called
as soon as the regiments get back to
their camp. Every man who does not
answer Is “ticked off” as missing, and
search is made for him on the field.
As the search parties come across the
dead and wounded men they rip open
the tunic at the left hand corner and
take out the identification card.
The cards thus collected are carried
back to camp and banded over to the
clerks of the general in command, who
therefrom compile the casualty lists.
Af'cr all the cards have been collected
the roll is checked again and a note
made of those men of whom no trace
has been discovered. These are usual
ly presumed to have been taken prison
ers. but ft docs not always follow that
the assumption Is correct.
In the corner of this tunic opposite
the identification card every soldier
carries a small pad of bandages, etc.,
for dressing a wound. Tills “field
dressing,” as it is called, is added to
“Tommy’s” equipment in order that ho
may be his own surgeon until medical
assistance arrives or may have the
wherewithal on him to bind up the
wounds of a chum.
You will probably be surprised to
learn that one of the last things “Tom
my” does when ordered to the front is
to make his will, although every regi
ment contains a percentage of happy
go lucky fellows who do not worry
themselves about what will become of
their property when they no longer re
quire it.—London Mail.
One Thlntr That Won’t Stop.
Maria Mitchell, who has been called
the “Mother of the Stars,” when pro
fessor of astronomy and director of
the observatory at Vassar was an In
spiring teacher, and, in spite of her
brusque manner and severity, was
adored by her pupils. Every spring
Just before the commencement she
gave a “dome party” to the girls.
Small tables were placed around the
large telescope in the observatory, and
roses from Miss Mitchell’s own garden
brightened the atmosphere. Nonsense
poems were a feature of these break
fasts, and the astronomer was proud
of her skill in writing them. She was
not without a keen sense of fun, in
spite of her constant and absorbing
duties, ns was shown by her dryly con
soling observation to an awestricken
student whom she was leaving one day
In charge of the instruments of the
observatory. Looking back at the wor-
ri«*d face of the girl, Miss Mitchell
said:
“And, remember, if the chronometer
stops, the universe won’t stop.”—New

(Correspondence of The Ledger-)
Concord, March 15.—Please allow
me space in your paper to give an ac- i
count of tiie school closing exercises
at tliis place. Tiie examination of
tiie children showed their excellent
training.
Tiie Mt. Sinai school closed on Hie
15th inst., with an exhibition at
night. There was a large crowd in
attendance and Hie program was
good. After tiie exercises there was
a spirited debate on Hie subject,
“Which is the greater damage to our
country, whiskey or tobacco?”. It
was decided whiskey was the greater.
Small grain is looking line after the
rain and cold weatiier.
The farmers of tho county have
commenced work in earnest.
Every colored man in tiie county
should become a reader of Tiie
Ledger. I think it well wortii double
the price you pay for it and, fur
thermore, it will be an education to
your children and to yourself to keep
up witli tiie times.
Thanking you for past favors.

The Ledger is read by a largo num-
bor of colored people of tliis county,
therefore please, sir, allow me a short
space in your most valuable paper,
to say a few words concerning our
race. I see that it will take what I
saw in’tlie Ledger week before last in
a letter from Rev. R. 0. Campbell
professor of the Graded school No. 3,
(colored) as he addressed himself to
the honored school commissioner and
trustees in favor of the colored race,
to accomplish anything for our young
generation. I hope he will succeed
in getting the terms longer,

BROWN WAS IN TOWM.
And » Larffe Audience WitnoMied a Good
Flay I -a x t levelling.
[.Spartanburg Herald.]
“Brown” was muchly in town last
night at the opera house, and despite
the inclement weather, a large au
dience assembled to witness the per
formance of Delcher A Hennessy’s
company in the farce comedy.
To say this audience secured their
money’s worth would be an unvarn
ished statement of truth. In fact
they were sufeited with wit, humor
and light comedy, interspersed with
catchy situations and fetching tab
leaux.
Tiie troupe is an excellent aggrega
tion of fun-making artists, and every
minute turned a seemingly old, old
tale of sentiment into something new
and up-to-date. There were plenty
of peaches on the tree, but the ripest
of ail were Chas. Horn, as “Dick’s”
father, Miss Fannie Midgely, as
“Primrose,” the crook, C. H. Eber,
as “Pollock,” the gardner, Miss Effie
Warner, as “Letty,” Dick’s wife,
and Webster Cullison, as “Arthur
Howard.”
Th'ise who went to see “Brown’s

and Hie large number present thank

for sucli a pleasing entertainment.

ONLY ONE CURE

FOR SCROFULA.
S. S. S. Is the Only
Remedy Equal to this
Obstinate Disease.
There are dozens of remedies recommended for
Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able to
afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. is absolutely
the only remedy which completely cures it.
Scrofula is one of the most obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the
many so-called purifiers and tonics because some-
. , . . thing niore than a mere tonic is required. S. S. 8.
is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it

The serious contequences to wliich Scrofula surely leads
should impress upon those afflicted witli it tiie vital im
portance of vvasting no time upon treatment which can
not possiblv effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. H.E.Thompson,of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck,
which had io be lanced and caused me much suffering I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I

but without effect. Someone recommended S. S. S and’
I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles
Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently,
and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift’s Specific—
