Death has removed another good
man from our midst. Sunday morn-
ng about 7 o’clock Mr. D. F. McClure
breathed his last at his home near the
Gaffney coiton mill after a prolonged
illness.
About two years ago Mr. McClure
lad the misfortune to be bitten by a
spider, and after that his health
seemed to fail, which was thought by
many to be the result of the spider’s
>ite. He was a very stout and robust
man at the time, but soon began to
all away and continued to lose Hesh
until at the time of his death he was
emaciated so that he bore only a faint
semblance to his former self. He
moved to this place four or five years
ago, with his family, and went to
work in the cotton mills of the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company, where
le continued to ply his calling up to
six or eight months ago. His health
then became so bad that ho had to
give up his work in the mill and seek
rest and recreation. His fate was
writ, however; death had marked
him for a victim, and he gradually
went down until a few days ago when
he was compelled to give up and go
to bed. There the end soon came,
and Sunday morning soon after the
sun had come up in splendor and
flooded the earth with warmtfrand
brightness death's icy touch chilled
his heart and it became still forever.
The opinion of the attending physi
cian is that his death was the work
of consumption.
The earthly remains of Mr. McClure
were laid away in Oakland cemetery
yesterday morning at eleven o’clock
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Arch C. Cree, and the pall
bearers were the brothers and bioth-
ers-in-law of the deceased.
Mr. McClure was thirty years of
age—just in the noonday of life. On
December 24th he married MisaSallie
Brown, daughter of Mr. Theodore
Brown, of Clifton, and she and one
little boy survive him.
We tender our deepest sympathy
to the young wife and mother in the
loss of a fond husband and to the
bright little boy who has been de
prived of a devoted father so early in
life.
FOR MEN ONLY.
Kev. Mr. Wr»jr lilt* Straight From the
Shoulder and Telle Men of Their Sinn.
The First Baptist church was com
fortably filled Sunday afternoon to
hear the Rev. John A. Wray’s ser
mon to men only. Mr. Wray began
his discourse on the highest plane it
has ever been our privilege to listen
to for a sermon of that character,
and for some time his words and in
ferences were of the grandest and
most elevating. Along toward the
close of his remarks he dealt with sin
with ungloved hands and from the
manner of his speech it was evident
that some one has been telling him
something since he arrived in Gaff
ney. Gambling, blind tigerism,
whiskey drinking, swearing, licen
tiousness and evil thinking came in
for their share of just condemnation.
Be it said to Mr. Wray’s credit that
he bandied the subject in as delicate
a manner as it is possible to be
handled. At the close of the sermon
an invitation was extended to all the
men in the house, church members
as well as sinners, who desired the
prayers of the Christian people in
their behalf, that they might lead
better lives, to come forward, and
fully two-thirds of the large congre
gation responded to the invitation.
It was an impressive scene.
Mr. Wray preached to the largest
congregation of the meeting Sunday
morning, and again Sunday night he
preached to a crowded house. Yes
terday morning and last night the in
terest in the meeting was still intense
and the indications are that it will
not abate until the end of the meet
ing. The better one becomes ac
quainted with Mr. Wray the more In
teresting he becomes. He will doubt
less do a good work In Gaffney.
There has been a slight falling off
In the enlistments for the regular
army since the withdrawal of that
portion of the advertisement saying
that recruits and new regiments were
being enlisted for the Philippines.
She Didn’t W«ar » Ma»k.
But her beauty was completely

Moving.
Rev. Wm. R. Potter has gone to
house-keeping,occupying Mrs. Sophia
Goode’s bon46 on Jefferies street.
Mr. Potter has been in Gaffney nearly
a month now, and he and his charm
ing better-half have made warm
friends of all with whom they have
come in contact.
Mr. T. I. Walker will move this
week into his new residence on Bu
ford street. Mr. W. M. Webster will
occupy the bouse made vacant by
Mr. Walker, while Mr. J. C. Ratliff,
proprietor of the Battery, will go to
keeping bouse in the house made
vacant by Mr. Webster. Thus, in all
probability, Mr. ’and Mrs. Ratliff
will become permanent residents of
Gaffney. *
Ed. Thomasson moved into his
new house on Buford street yester
day.
Khock of Wheat Coniiumed.hy'Lightning.
County Commissioner T. L. Bryant,
of near Trough Shoals, was in the
city yesterday attending a meeting
of the county board. Mr. Byant said
that during the storm Sunday after
noon lightning struck a shock of
wheat in a Held near his bouse aud
entirely consumed it. Nothing else
on his premises was Injured by the
storm.

A Deep Mystery.
It is a mystery why women endure
Backache, Nervousness, Sleepless
ness, Melancholy, Fainting and Dizzy
Spells when thousands have proved
that Electric Bitters will quickly
cure such troubles. “I suffered for
years with kidney trouble,’’ writes
Mrs. Phebe Cherley* of Petersoe, la.,
"aud a lime back pained me so I
could not dress myself, but Electric
Bitters wholly cured me, aud, al
though 711 years old, I now am able
to do all my housework.” It over
comes Constipation, improves Ap
petite, gives perfect health. Only
