W*lil»«*r of » Hoe <.uio itud Then “Kolia" the Gam. “Robbing” bee gums is u very common practice in these United States of America, and, we presume, in other countries, too, and there is no law which prohibits it—provided, of course, that the gums belong to thj “robber.” But “stealing” a gum. bees, honey and all, is rather an un usual proceeding in this part of the country, and in this way the act be comes a crime against the laws of the land. Last Wednesday night some mis creant, whose appetite for honey was evidently stronger than any moral or religious scruples he may have had n regard to confiscating another man’s property for his own use, (and undoubtedly stronger than his fear of bees), entered the apiary of Mr. 8. Webber, who lives near Wiikins- ville, and took therefrom one of that gentleman's finest and most valuable bee gums. The gum was found next morning about 10 o’clock, robbed of its delicious contents and left in about two hundred yards of Mr. Webber’s bouse, in company with a wash tub belonging to Mr. John Hughes, who lives nearby, and who said the tub was stolen from him on the night before. A handkerchief was found near the scene and Mr. Webber thought ho knew whose property it was, though he was not certain. He has been on the lookout for some one who looked like they had been among bees, or who had more honey than properly belonged to them; but up to Satur day he had not found anyone nhom ho thought guilty of the theft, or rather, whom he could prove to be guilty of it. Fortunately, the bees in that particular gum did not leave and Mr. Webber soon had them back in his bee yard. Silk Drapery, fine “TIi* Spirit of th« Age." Rev. W. 8. B. Ford, pastor of the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church, preached a most excellent sermon Sunday morning on “The Spirit of the Age.” Mr. Ford is a believer in progressiveness and he advocates science, railroads, telegraphs, tele phones, newspapers, automobiles, wireless telegraphy, mind reading, hypnotism and the Hying machine, but he deprecates the departure from the old way of worshipping God and the rearing of children. The sermon was one of the best ever delivered in Gaffney A children’s day exercise was held in the evening and the church was crowded to overflowing, there not be ing a vacant seat either up stairs or down stairs. The program was elab orate and appropriate and those who took part acquitted themselves with credit. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. Four Caiert of Such in the Mayor'* Court Yesterday Moriilng. There were several cases of drunk enness in town Saturday afternoon, and as a consequence Mayor Little john had something to do in his court yesterday morning. Hanap Jones and Mose Goudelock, two individuals of color, were first on docket, the charge against them be ing disorderly eonduot tjnd raising a disturbance. There were a number of witnesses on band, and after bear ing the evidence Mose was fined two- fifty or ten days on the streets. He paid the two fifty. The evidence was either not sufficient to convict Hamp, or there were some extenua ting circumstances in bis case, as hi was dismissed. Lum Whitesides, a colored spot who actety as vaiet, or something o rt -'the ta, ^erly conduct rder, Ha*cb»ll. The boys will practice at the ball ground this afternoon. They are making preparations for the match game on Thursday between the Northside and the Southside clubs. These two clubs have played two games this season, each team win ning a game, so it may be expected that the contest Thursday for the odd game will be quite interesting. A cordial invitation is extended the ladies to be present at the game. There is no admission fee. A Little One Uoue. The little two-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hinson died Friday and was buried Saturday. There is deep sorrow in the home over the departure of the bright little star that gave life and hope and sunshine to the home, and the people of the neighborhood and friends of the family share with them their burden. Whit« Mail Turned Yellow. Groat consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty, of Lexing ton, Ky., when they saw he was turn ing yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then lie was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver Remedy, and he writes: “Af ter taking t bottles I was wholly cured.” A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach. Liver and Kidney troubles. Oaly 50c. Sold by Cherokee Drug Co., Druggists. Fc jaR" Advcrtlsnm be Inserted for o tlon.

Economy is commonly thought to be “scrimping;” pinching the price, merely “saving money.” The fact, however, is real, genuine, business like economy thinks last of price and first of quality; economy is in what you get, not in what you pay. “Saving Money” at the expense of quality is extravagance, not economy.

However, it is not easy to ignite ordinary Sulphur or Brimstone, or to maintain its combustion. Sulphu^' Fumigators, each containing enough to disin fect an ordinary room, are easily ignited and will continue to burn uptil consumed. They are especially adapted for the disin fection of rooms in which there have been cases of Typhoid, Scarlet Fever, Diptheria, etc. It is not a bad idea to use the above (ts a preventative of con tagious diseases. They are very cheap to use, and an ounce of prevention U often worth more than a pound of cure. We’ll gladly explain further iu regard to the Use of them if you’ll give us a chance. Price Ten Cents.
