Economy in buying shoes is not in the price but in the quality. In

$2.50 and up to $5. Cheaper suits 75c, 98c and $1.25.

The audience that attended the
performance of “Town Topica” last
Friday evening waa the largest and
mose fashionable that has ever gath
ered in the opera house at this place.
The play was a disappointment to a
large portion of the audience, and
many who witnessed “A Trip to
Tramptown” say that the latter per
formance was the best of the two.
The truth of the matter is that the
two shows an altogether along dif
ferent lines, one being a melo-drama
and the other a farce comedy, and
the people of Gailney seem to like
melodrama better than they do farce
comedy. There is no question but
that the actors and actresses with
the last show are a notch above the
one that preceded it in point of
ability along their respective lines.
It would be impossible for Mr. Reiss’
company to play “Town Topics”
with success just as it would be im
possible for the “Town Topics” com
pany to play “A Trip to Tramptown”
with success. Their abilities lie
in different directions. Another
thing that transpired to dampen the
ardor of the audience was the high
kicking of the females in the com
pany. Gaffney is too modest to ap
prove of undue exhibitions of the
lower extremities of the feminine
gender even on the stage and we
doubt not that the play would have
taken better bad the young ladies
been a trifle more modest. Another
draw back was the fact, that a higher
price was charged for this show than
on previous occasions, therefore the
people were expecting more than
they otherwise would. These things
combined were a disadvantage to the
show, but in point of ability the ac
tion was everything we expected it
to be.
Hereafter The Ledger will endeavor
to inform the people exactly what to
expect. We told the public before
the show came that it was a farce
comedy but it seems that they did
not understand the nature of the
performance or either expected too
much. Hereafter we shall endeavor
to explain the nature of the show
and at the same time keep them
from expecting too much. The
Ledger has no desire to mislead the
people in regard to anything, and we
regret that all were not fully satis
fied. The connection of the manager
of The Ledger with the manogement
of the opera house could not induce
us to purposely mislead the people.
No one connected with the opera
house has any desire to mislead the
people. They could not afford to do
it if they wanted to, as the profits, if
any, will not he enough to induce
them to mislead if they were so in
clined. The purpose of the gentle
men who have the opera house in
charge is to secure the best attrac
tions possible at the lowest figures
so as to furnish innocent amusement
for the public, and all who go to the
theatre need not expect every show
to meet their expectations.
FIRE NEArTcOWPENS.
Wiu. Henderson Has Ills House and Con«
tents Destroyed.
Last Wednesday night about 12
o’clock, Wm. Henderson, who lives
near Cowpens, in this county, had
bis dwelling house and all its con
tents, cotton seed out of three bales
of cotton and a bale of seed cotton
all destroyed by fire.
The family were asleep at the time,
and the fire had gained such headway
before they were aroused by some
neighbors, that it was impossible to
save anything. The occupants of
the house narrowly escaped with their
lives, and some of the children were
taken out just as one of the wails be?
gan to cave in and the whole building
was wrapped in flames.
The kitchen, which was close to
the dwelling, but separated from it,
was also burned, with everything in
it, and the family were left entirely
destitute.
No idea Is entertained as to the
origin of the fire and no suspicion
exists that it was the work of an
incendiary.
The Joss was a great blow to Mr.
Henderson, as he was a poor man
and had worked hard to provide a
little home for his family and to have
some of the comforts of life.
He is receiving aid from his neigh?
bors and from some of the generous
hearted people in this part of the
county who sympathize with him in
his misfortune.

ja MMg* r'n Cannot be Cut Out or
BW mELmn Removed with Plasters
Surreal operations and flesh destroying plasters are useless, painful ami dangerous, and besides, never cure Cancer.
No matter how often a cancerous sore is removed, another comes at or near the same ]>oiiit. mid always in a worse form.
Does not this prove conclusively that Cancer is a blood disease, and that it is folly to attempt to cure this deep-seated, dangerous
blood trouble by cutting or burning out the sore, which, after all, »s only an outward sign of the disease a place of exit for
the poison ?
Cancer runs in families through many generations, and those whose ancestors have been afflicted with it are liable at any
time to be stricken with the deadly malady.
Only Blood Diseases can be Transmitted from One Generation to Another
-remove every trace of the poison. Nothing cures
—further proof that Cancer is a disease of the blood.
To cure a blood disease like this you must cure the entire blood system-
Cancer effectually and permanently but S. S. S.
S. S. S. enters the circulation, searches out and removes all taint, and stops the formation of cancerous cells. No mere topic
or ordinary blood medicine can do this. S. S. S. goes down to the very roots of the disease, and forces out the deadly poison,
allowing the sore to heal naturally and permanently. S. S. S. at the same time purifies the blood and builds up the general health.
A little pimple, a harmless looking wart or mole, a lump in the breast, a cut or bruise that refuses to
heal under ordinary treatment, should all be looked upon with suspicion, as this is often the beginning of
a bad form of cancer.
Mrs. Sarah M. KeesHna, 941 Windaor Ave., Bristol, Tenn., writes: “I
am 41 years old, and for three years had suffered with a severe form of
Cancer on my jaw, which the doctors in this city said was incurable, and
that I could not live more than six months. I accepted their statement as
true, and had given up all hope of ever being well again, when my drug-
E 'st, knowing of my condition, recommended S. S. S. After taking a few
Ktles the sore began to heal, much to the surprise of the physicians, and
in a short time made a complete cure. I have gained in flesh, my appetite
is splendid, sleep ia refreshing —in fact, am enjoying perfect health."
Our medical department is in charge of physicians of long
experience, who are especially skilled m treating Cancer ana
or information wanted, we make no charge whatever for this service.

is no violation of the laws of the land. When you wear a pair of
handsome and yet serviceable double soled walking shoes, par
ticularly adapted for Thanksgiving weather, you will be excused
for rejoicing over their comfort and nattiness. All the style you
want, more comfort than you expect. And the price—almost too
small to tell for such a corking good shoe ; but here it is, $2 to
$3.50. Can you beat it?
BLANKETS
will now take the place of mosquito nets, and if you find you are
short a blanket or so don’t rush off and pay a fancy price for
them. We have decidedly the largest stock in town and can sell
you a tip top blanket anywhere from 75c to $5.
Carpets, Rugs, Art Squares, Matting.
What about that carpet you have been figuring on all summer? Perhaps 3*011 have been look

any ordinary room for $7.50 to $40.00 and have competent men to lit and match it for you. Just
anybody can’t fit up a carpet, it takes experience, and right here we will say that a carpet is like
