Some of the moat mysterious mys teries that have ever mystified the people of Gaffney have been enacted here during the peat three days and everybody is wondering "how it was done.” On Saturday night, according to previous announcement, Prof. Boone, the wonderful mind-reader, spiritual ist and hypnotist who is now in the city, placed a sul ject in a hypnotic sleep, in which he remained until last night when he]was awakened on the stage in the Opera House. A bed had been prepared for the subject in tr e large show window of Shuford «fe LeAlaster’s store, and he slept for fifty hours in full view of the street where he could be seen by every one who cared to look at him. Before the subject was awakened last night he was placed across two chairs, a rock weighing 500 pounds was placed on his body and broken by Mr. VV. D. Kirby with a sledge hammer. The subject’s body was then made to relax ar d become rigid at the will of Prof. Boone, till he was finally released from the spell. Yesterday a letter was written by some of our citizens, placed in a maii box and the key hidden in the upper part of town under a door mat in Mr. Goudelocks piazza. Prof. Boone was blindfolded, and getting Into a carriage, in company with four gentleman, he drove at full speed to the place, found the key. unlocked the box. brought the letter out and delivered it to "Mr. N. VV. Hardin, to whom It was written, and win was standing a few hundred yards away from the postofflee. The performance at the Opera House consisted of mind-reading feats, hypnotic and spiritualistic works, and':4*ch act was as wonder ful as it JWts mysterious. The house was packed to its utmost seating capacity, and everybody was thrilled and electrified at the things done. There are a few skeptical ones who claim that some “trickery” was used, yet they are as much mystified AS anyone else. Prof Boone will give another per formance in the Opera House to night. . ♦ Mams of Cbansb Changed. In church conference on Suifday by unanimous vote the name of the Second Baptist church was changed to the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church. A gallery that will seat about one btMdred and fifty people has been added to the church aud some other general repairs have been made that greatly improve the build ing. These improvements have been made necessary in order to accommo date the large congregation that at tends this church. Pastor Ford and bis people are always looking after the interest of the people and it may will keep .very respect. An CMought Honor. County Superintendent of Educ W. F. McArthur has been ap ted by State Superintendent of ucation McMahan as principal of r the Cherokee County Summer School, which convenes in this city from July 22 to August 17. Prof, W. G.

This honor comes 40 both Prof. McArthur and Prof. Blake t*u-_ solicited |nd even without petition. IMPARTIAL JUDGES. They 8p*-ak Word* of Cotmneii(l<ition for The ledger. Words of praise and commenda tion are at ail times gratefully de ceived and highly appreciated. They are a wonderful stimulant for low and depressed spirits; they exerts magical influence over our pride and vanity, and we gather from them an inspiration which incites us to re newed energy in our work and a determination to put forth greater ef forts to merit the approval and Com mendation of our friends and patrons. Some time ago we received the fol lowing letter from a lady friend in Monette, Ark., who is an admirer of The Ledger and fully competent to judge of and appreciate a g >od thing when she has the opportunity: ‘•En closed find order for subscription, with many thanks to you for sending out such a good paper fot so small a price. It comes like so many letters from home and home files, each week. We could not think of being without it.” That has the true ring in it, and is evidence that this lady takes The Ledger for Its intrinsic value regardless of its cost in dollars and cents. Some people, we think, buy a newspaper like th<y purchase goods at a store—the cheapest in price they can get, regardless of quality. We have had this assertion verified cn several occasions. Another letter .that we prize very highly came from a firm in New York who are specialists in the news paper business and whose opinion is worthy of the very highest con sideration.. It ran as follows^ “We are unable to find one single ad. in your paper that looks suspicious. Your foreign advertisers are cer tainly, as far^as wo know, A. 1, and you have mora than the average pub lisher of local advertising. The make up is also good; inlact, wc do not see how we could improve on the publication in any way. We must also commend the side heading in which you guarantee the reliability of your advertisers. This possibly has something to do with the large amount of paying business that you have.” We publish these letters because they are from disinterested persons, and from persons whose opinions we value very highly.
