Tennyson or Longfellow could take a worthless piece of paper,
write a poem on it and make it worth .$05,000—that’s genius.
Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper and make
it ivorth $5,000,000—that’s capital. The United States can take
37 Id grains of silver and stamp an eagle on it and make it worth
41.00—that’s money. A mechanic can take raw material worth
43.00 and carve it into ornaments worth $500—that’s skill. A
merchant can take an article worth 50 cents and sell it for a dol
lar—that’s business. A well-digger works ten hours a day and
handles several tons of dirt for 75 cents—that’s labor. Your wife
eau buy a cloak for $12.50, but prefers one for $50—that’s nat
ural. The printer of this can write a check for $90,000,000, but
it wouldn’t be worth a dime'—that’s rough. There are dealers
who will tell you that their Heavy and Fancy Groceries, To
baccos, etc., are as good as ours—that’s gall. We buy for cash
direct from manufacturers and in large lots, and can therefore
ssell you your Groceries, Cigars, Tobacco, etc., at a great saving
to you—that’s common sense. Let us serve you.

Kev. W. M. Vlnea Talks to the “Kuby Mis
sionary Society ”
The universal verdict of the splen
did audience which greeted Rev. W.
M. Vines at the First Baptist church
Tuesday evening was that the lecture
was a ge'na. It was filled with humor
and pathos and at times the speaker
rose to heights of oratory that was
sublime. His tribute to President
McKinley was grand, while every
other phase of the subject that he
touched upon was ably and magnifi
cently htndled. Mr. Vines chose for
his theme ‘ Possibilities," and it oc-
cured to us that he got all out of the
subject that it was possible to get for
the forty-five minutes that he spoke.
The audience was enchanted and en
thused and on every band were to be
ht-ard nothing but words of praise.
Mr. Vines is a student, a thinker
and a Christian gentleman, who is at
the same time a magnificent orator.
He lacks that self-important air that
a great many speakers possess and
there is nothing of the egotist about
him either on or off the platform.
Personally he is a most charming
man and anyone who has the priv
ilege of even a few minutes witli him
privately cannot but be impressed
with his personality. The Ledger is
always delighted to have him visit
our little city and we hope the occa
sion may arise that will bring him to
our midst, oftener.
The singing on this occasion was
an inspiration. Prof. Maxim is a
master of his art and possesses the
ability to impart to others some of
the enthusiasm which he displays in
the rendition of his selections. Mr.
Richardson never appeared to better
advantage and his bass was the sub
ject of flattering comment. The oth
er members of the choir acquitted
themselves with credit and the whole
program was a delightful one.
Rev. Arch C. Cree’s presentation
of the speaker was happy, as was also
iiis presentation of the handkerchiefs
to Misses Genie Peeler and Cornelia
Lavender.
Mayor'll Court Wednesday.
Quite a number of Gaffney’s sable
colored gentry were ushered into the
inner circle of the Mayor’s court
Wednesday morning.
The first one recognized by his
Honor was ‘‘Bill” Dawkins, an un
usually good humored fellow with
extensive experience in court circles
and not totally unacquainted with
the chain gang. Besides “Bill” is a
preacher of some ability but not in
good standing with bis church. Bill
was up for fighting and it developed
that be had hit another negro with
a rook because said negro bad been
a witness against some other negroes
for selling whisky. Bill got $10 or 30.
He took the last.
The next were Belton Brown, Davis
Petty and Al. Petty, colored sports.
They threw craps in the wrong pres
ence, were pulled and $7.50 or 27
each. Beit, and Al. paid. Davis be
ing in a low state of health, bis sen
tence was suspended till he recuper
ates. He looked like his chances for
better days were few.
Then came two negro tramps.
They had a volume of good excuses
for their vocation. They were re
leased and directed by bis Honor to
tramp outside the limits of Gaffney.
They consented and tramped.
“Some time ago my daughter
caught a severe cold. She complain
ed of pains in her chest and had a bad
cough. I gave her Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy according to direc
tions and in two days she was well
and able to go to school. I have
used this remedy in my family for
the past seven years and have never
known it to fail,’’ says James Pren-
dergust, merchant. Armato Bay, Ja
maica, West India Islands. The
pains in the chest indicated an
approaching attack of pneumonia,
whU'h in this instance• wa* undoubt
edly warded off by Chamberlain’s
Cough It-medy. It counteracts any
tendency of a cold toward pneumo
nia. Sold by Cherokee Drug Com
pany.
Service of Song.
The congregation of the First Bap
tist church has been very fortunate
in securing the services of Prof Geo.
^ratt Maxim as orgenist. His able
performance on the organ and his
masterful direction of the choir have
already won for him many admirers
among the lovers of good music.
On next Sunday night the choir of
the First Baptist ehurtdi will, under
the direction of Mr. Maxim, render a
service of song, to which the public
is most cordially invited Service to
commence promptly at 7 :30 p. m.

Spice and
Pepper News.
Quality counts. Quality in
these (roods has more than
o
doubled our sales in the last
twelve months. We sell only
the best. Saigon Cinnamon
has six or eight times the
strength of China and other
cheap cinnamons. Saigon cin
namon has spice and flavor that
China and other common cin
namon wholly lacks.
Flavorings.
Nothing is more often adult
erated than flavoring extracts.
For people who believe in the
best, we recommond our Vanilla
and Lemmon Extracts as being
superior to any other they can
buy. Twice as strong and bet
ter flavored than the common
extracts, 10 cents a bottle.
Cream of Tartar.
It is equally important that
this should be a pure article.
In fact one cannot buy a com
mercial grade Cream of Tartar
that is pure. That which we
sell is perfect in every particu
lar. It always gives satisfac
tion in use and is economical.
You will be greatly pleased
with its results, 40 cents a
pound.
