The matchless and unapproachable prices that we are selling goods at continue to draw the throngs from far and near. Visit the Battery whenever you
will and you will see crowds of anxious buyers waiting to be served. Our trade has increased to such an extent that we have been forced to increase our force.
Others complain of slow trade and dull times but
THE BATTERY IS NEVER DULL.
Why is this, and too. right in the heat of summer? Simply because our goods come to us direct from the manufacturer, stripped of the middle-man’s profit, anik
are in league with a gigantic concern that has lots of the coveted stuff which often scoops in tons and tons of merchandise from hard Dressed manufar^VpA
ees sales, railroad wrecks and other sources at less than half price. We get our share of these goods and pay no profitand^ive our custcmTrsthebenlfft of if 1

THAT CONVERSE AFFAIR.
MuglHtntte Williams Says the Man Was
Not a Tramp and Was Not Madly Hurt.
In last Friday’s issue we gave an
account of the beating of a tramp at
Converse by some of the young in
habitants of that place. Magistrate
Williams, before whom the case was
tried, now says that the man was
not a tramp, that he was not unmer
cifully beaten, and that if he was
hurt at all, his wounds were very
slight, as he went to work in the mill
next morning. He further states
that the so-called tramp got $12 for
his alleged beating, with which he
purchased a suit of clothes, pair of
shoes, a hat and shirt, ail of which
he seemed to need. Mr. Williams
asks that the newspapers which
mentioned the aHair also give his
version, so that the public may hear
both sides of the case.
We procured our information on
the subject from The Industrial News,
which is published at Converse, and
we give below what the News says in
reply to Magistrate Williams’ state
ment :
“Squire Williams seems to take
exception to the accounts published
in several issues of The Industrial
News, concerning a man who was
beaten by some boys on River street.
We gave the facts as they were given
us by an eye witness. They saw the
man struck with a broom handle and
rocks and heard his cries for mercy.
Some have seen the bruises. He
says also that the young man was
not a tramp. So far as that goes,
we don’t know and neither do we
care, about that. Wo know he ho
boed it in town, and from the
Squire’s account he must have needed
clothing. We do not care to have
any controversy over the matter, and
if the fellow is willing to get a beat
ing for $12 he can go and do it a gain.”
Death of an Infant.
Edward H. Shaw, Jr., the infant
son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Shaw,
of Blacksburg, died at the home of
his parents in Blacksburg Wednesday.
The remains were taken to Ports
mouth, ()., the former home of Mr.
and Mrs. Shaw, for interment. The
deepest sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to Mr. and Mrs.
Shaw in tht’r bereavement. Mr.
Shaw is the general freight and pas
senger agent of the S. C. & G. E. R.
R., and has only been in South Caro
lina a short time, and we feel that
we but voice the sentiment of all
Vho have become acquainted with
him during his brief stay among us
when we say we deeply regret the sad
mission that calls him to his former
home even for a brief time.
A Unique Cunuudruni Cake Party.
Mrs. W. H. Pierson quietly and
charmingly entertained a number of
her lady friends- Wednesday after
noon at a unique conumdrum cake
party. The house was artistically
decorated wifb a profusion of cut
flowers.
After the question cards were filled
out a delicious and dainty three
course luncheon was served by Misses
Scott, Sarratt and McCraw. The
souvenir of the occasion was won by
Mrs. J. D. Jones, she having answered
correctly all conundrums, from farm
er’s hoe to minister’s angel cake.
A Pine Turnip.
A few days age our fellow-towns
man A. B. Gaines, brought us a fine
specimen of some extra fine summer
turnips that he has growing in his
garden up on Victoria Avenue. The
sample was a beauty in size,
weighed four pounds and as we
had it “sampled” by some com
petent judges, we c»n testify to the
fact that the beauty was not all on
the outside of the vegetable. “Broad”
says be has many more of the same
size and flavor.

An excursion train passed through
Gaffney yesterday morning over the
Southern railway, loaded with the
members of Charlotte’s Sunday
schools who were bound for Ashe
ville on a pleasure trip. We under
stand that another train of the same
kind went from Charlotte to Asheville
over the Western North Carolina
railroad. That train will return via
Gaffney while the one that passed
here this morning will go back over
the W. N. C. road. This arrange
ment will give all the excursionists
an opportunity to see the sights
along both routes.

The southbound night passenger
train over the Southern railway,
which pusses this place at 11:47
o’clock, did not arrive here till after
4 o’clock yesterday morning. The
two southbound morning trains were

terday. It is reported that the de
lays were caused by a washout some
where up the road.
