CARROLL & CARPENTER.
G. LE FOREST WOOD.
Some Sentiment* of the l*r«M* on Till*
Renowned Lecturer.
Next Thursday evening Mr. G Le-
Forest Wood, delineator of characler
and dialect reader, will appear at the
opera house. The Ledger feels con
fident in saying Mr. Wood will give
an instructive and amusing entertain
ment. The universal opinon of press
and pulpit is that Mr. Wood’s enter
tainment is among the best of that
class of entertainments. The follow
ing are some of the press notices Mr.
Wood has received :
“G. LeForest Wood gave a very
pleasing entertainment last evening
at the Presbyterian chapel, which
was well attended.”
‘‘Those who had the good fortune
to hear him are earnest in their praise
of his efforts.”
‘‘For many years the entertain
ment given by Alva Heywood has
been the standard by whitdi similar
attractions have been judged and this
one is said to be fully equal to the
one so long quoted as the best.”
‘‘As an impersonator, Mr. Wood
has striking and remarkable versatile
gifts. Characters which the ordinary-
reader wouid not see, were brought
before the audience clearly outlined
and made to deliver with new reve
lation the speeches one has often
read, without feeling their power.
His selections were of the highest
order, and in some of them sermons
of rare merit were recognized. Those
who heard him desire to hear him
again and again and if he makes a
return date for next season, as ho
may, the chapel or some larger hall
should be filled to hear him.”—Daily
Record, Oswego, N. V., Oct. 3rd. 11)00.
“The entertainment given by Mr.
G. LeForest Wood at the M. E
church Tuesday evening was a rare
treat to the people of this village who
were so fortunate as to attend. Mr.
Wood was greeted by a good sized
audience, who thoroughly appreciated
all the speaker said and did. As an
impersonator and delineator of
character he is a genius. He is also
master of many different dialects.
His selections were of a high order,
filled with humor and pathos. He
delighted hie audience for an hour
and a.hulf. Should Mr. Wood return
to Fultonville at some future time he
would be greeted by a much larger
audience. The receipts for the even
ing amounted to $29 30.”—Fulton
ville. N. Y., Aug. Kith, 1900.
“The entertainment given in the
Methodist Episcopal church last
evening by Professor G. LeForest
Wood, was a financiul and artistic
success. Professor Wood was capital
in his dialect and character sketches
and sustained his high reputation as
an impsrsonator. The net receipts
go into the parsonage fund of the
church.”—Daily Sarigan, N. Y.,
Aug. 1st, 1900.
Popular VUltora lu the Cltjr.
Dr. and Mrs. Fort entertained from
Tuesday until Thursday of last week
Misses Lyles and Massey and Messrs.
J. W. Dunovant and T. J. Martin, all
of Chester. Wednesday evening an
impromptu dance was given at Par
ish’s Hotel, complimentary to the
popular visitors, in which many of
the young people of the city took
part. The affair was a very pleasant
one and highly enjoyed by the merry
makers.
Tbs visiting ladies and gentlemen
have returned to their homes.

THE BATTERY!
Not the kind of BATTERY Jackson used at New Orleans.
That Battery you will remember was composed of cotton
bales and was intended to break the force of British bullets
and shield the Americans from the shot from English guns.
THE BATTERY
I wish to speak of is intended to break the force of high prices
and shield the citizens of Gaffney from big profits on
Hats, Shoes, Dress Goods, Clothing, Notions, Underwear,
Etc. The enormous outlet I have for merchandise enables
me to purchase direct from manufacturers, thus avoiding the
middle man’s percentage; besides we buy tons of goods
every year at half cost from assignees of merchants who have
failed or are on the verge of bankruptcy, from railroad wrecks
at 50c on the dollar, from administrators authorized to sell
for half, and from every source where HARD SPOT CASH
can bring them in at under price. •- THE BATTERY will
open fire about April first. + Watch for our circulars and
quotations. They will prove equal to fire in a camp and will
scatter high prices to the forewinds
