“MUSIC HATH POWERS/”
The Itecltiil at Llmefttonc Friday Evening
Wait a (Jraml Succohs.
That “music hath powers to soothe
the homesick girl” wa* the forcible
impression of each Limestone stu
dent on last Friday evening, when
the teachers of the music depart
ment gave them the benefit of such a
choice and delightful program.
Quito a number of people from town
were present, and since they claim
that “Limestone’s interests are Gaff
ney’s interests,” they could hardly
fail to appreciate the high talent of
the music department, and could but
rejoice that they have such artists
in their midst.
Mias Richardson, the elocution
teacher, assisted in the recital and
her selections were much enjoyed.
From the first number, so artisti
cally rendered by Mr. Brown and
Miss Steedly, until the last song, the
audience was spell-bound.
The contrast between the deep
tones of Beethoven’s “Theme and
Variations” and the light and flowing
style of Mendelssohn's “Rondo
Gapicioso” was strikingly brought
out by Miss Steedly who pluyid with
great skill and feeling.
Mrs. Brown’s rich voice was heard
to excellent advantage in the first
three songs she sang, and she sang
“Children’s Songs” with charm and
grace.
One may always expect much in
Prof. Brown’s playing and in Gotts-
ehalk’s “Tremolo Etude” his display
of musical skill was marvelous.
Miss Richardson put much life and
feeling into both of her selections,
and the audience followed her as se
riously and sympathetically in Ihe
scenes from Romeo and Juliet as
they afterwards enjoyed with her the
pleasures of “Sunday Fishin’.”
As the last piano solo was rendered
by Miss Steedly ail began to realize,
that the charm was nearly over.
But not quite yet; for the duot so
gracefully and churmipgly uing by
Mr. and Mrs. Brown had a magical
cll'ectj and made the admiring listen
ers exclaim with them in apprecia
tion of the song, “O Moment that I
bless.” It seemed indeed to last
only a moment, but tiie very memory
of it will be delightful.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown rendered it
on a previous occasion here and
should they kindly consent to sing it
in the future it will never fail to
have its same magical charm.
The town people, as weil as the
College students, hopo that Lime
stone’s teachers will not “be weary
of well doing” but will, in their
charity, soon give us another such
treat.
A NOTED SABRE.
it w an Carried Through the Seminole In
dian War and the Ci\il War.
0. P. Scott, a gentleman of the old
school, who i£.jiow making his home
here wiLh'ftie^aughter, Mrs. \V. II.
Pierson, has in his possession a reiic
of the 1 days that were” that would
make a curio seeker’s eyes turn green
with envy to behold it und bis heart
born with a desire to possess it.
Tins relic is in tiie shape of a
sword, or rather a sabre, and is a
striking memento of stirring times
and bloody scenes that were enacted
in our iuir .Southland sixty-five years
ago—when tiie dark clouds of war
rolled over the fur South und once
more blotted out the light of peace
and happiness tiiat hart just dawned
upon the land, and when the green,
waving forests echoed to thy wild
vvarwhoops of blood-thirsty savagrs,
widen sent a chill to many a lender
heart and blanched the cheeks of
bravo men. This sabre that is now
in Jr. .Scott's possession was carried
through the Seminole war in Florida,
during the year of 1835, by Major
Abram Jones, of Edgefield, who was
captain of a company in the war
with the Indians. Major Jones was
a dashing ollic- r ana u bravo und darr
ing man, and it may be that “ids
sword did not always return bloodless
to its scabbard.” Any way, it would
bo interesting to know whether the
life-blood of a t-uvage ever darkened
the blade of the sabre that Mr. 8cott
h.:s shown us.
When it came into his possession
he wore it during his connection
with a militia emnpany from tiie
rank of lieutenant up to a captain,
and until the Civil \Var broke out.
It next did service in tiie hands of
Capt. A M. Benson, who command* d
a company of reserves at Columbia
when Sherman made Ids famous (or
infumour) and dtqrtpfhiivo march
through tiie tsoull..^^
Mr. Scott has been the owner of I lie
sabre for fifty years, and it must lie
at b ast seventy-five or eighty years
old—probably a hundred, for aught
that any one tmiy know to the con
trary, and it is, indeed, n valuable
relic handed down from a generation
long since passed away. It wi.l be
sent to tiie association of survivors of
the Confederate war in Augusta, Ga.,
und it will be un appropriate addition
to their museum
An Ouilftftioii.
In our mention of Mr. Mat Gaff
ney’s visit to this place we did not
mention that his wife came with him,
for the simple reason that the one
who informed us that he wus here
did not tell us that he was married
V .< have just received the informu
tion tiiat he had taken unto -himself
a lovely uride before he left Savannah
and that she accompanied him on
his visit to Gaffney. We regret the
omission, tlmuah is was not our fault

DEATH OF A CHILD.
The Tittle Mon of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Wil
kins Dies Sunday Afternoon.
Last Sunday afternoon between
three and four o’clock when the
earth was bathing in the liquid
streams of dazzling splendor that
came down from a cloudless sky, a
dark shadow fell across a happy
homo circle and the spirit of a bright
genial, boy took its everlasting
flight. It was the spirit of William
Whelchel, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. C. Wilkins, who died at the
home of his parents in this city after
a two weeks’iilncss with pneumonia.
Willie was about four years old and
was the light and joy of his parents’
hearts.
He was cut down in the very
morning of his existence—just when
the flowers of life were beginning to
bloom and the song-birds of hopo
wero beginning to tune their highest
notes for purest and sweetest carol-
ings. But God deeth all things well,
and in His loving arms may Wil
liam’s spirit dwell.
The little body was laid away in
Oakland cemetery and many sorrow
ing relatives and .friends looked on as
the cold, dump earth closed over the
beloved remains. The bereaved fam
ily have the sympathy of the entire
city in their hour of affliction.
Sum .Iouth in YurUvIlle.
On account of the appearance of
the inimitable Sam l\ Jones in York-
villc next Tuesday night,. Oct. 2nd.,
the wide-awake and ever-alert S. C-.
& G. E. railroad will riin an excur
sion train from Gaffney to Yovkville
for the accommodation Of any and
all who may wish to hear ‘he great
evangelist. The train will leave Gaff
ney at 4:30 p. m , and will leave
Yorkville on the return trip imme
diate! v after the lecture.
Every woman loves to th!nk of the
time when a soft little body, all her
own, wiil nestle in her boeom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
about the pretty picture in her mind
which fills her with terror. The
dread of childbirth takes away much
of the joy of motherhood. And yet it
need not be so. For sometime there
has been upon the market, well-known
and recommended by physicians, a
liniment called
lolefs friend
v/hich makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended it. It is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment,
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gives the muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning sick
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
