GAFFNEY BOY HONORED.
Col. H. Fay »iHtTii«‘y Wins Distincilon in
New York Life Insurance Company.
The many friends of Col. H Fay
tfulfuey, in this city and elsewhere,
will be glad to learn of his marked
success in the insurance business and
of the high distinction he has won
among insurance men, and with his
company especially.
In contest, Jirst edition Twentieth
Century policy, of the New York
Life Insurance Company, he won a
bonus (extra compensation) and cer*
tifiicate of appreciation, lithographed
in colors, bearing the seal of the
company in gold and signed by all of
the officers.
In the second contest he won an
other bonus, there being no other
prize offered.
In the special contest at the
Charleston branch office for month of
October, Mr. UatTney won first prize,
a beautiful genuiue seal leather wal
let for insurance papers, bearing Lis
name in gold on the inside and the
following: “Awarded for Superior
Record Third Edition Twentieth Cen
tury Policy, New York Life Insur
ance Company.”
In the third contest (the big con
test of the year) Mr. Gaffney won the
President’s prize oi a $150 00 dia
mond ring, his name on the honor
roll and also the New York Life’s
Legion of Honor decoration, which is
a heavy solid gold badge, with a bar
at the top and is engraved In large
letters and figures on the front,
“Nylic’ Legion of Honor, 1901,” and
is also suitably engraved on back.
This was tbeftfiret prize, there being
two others, but who won them we
cannot say, but suppose they wenf to
some of the agents working in the
city of Charleston.
Mr. David B. Fala, of Charleston,
general agent for the New York Life,
hastened to wire his congratulations
to Mr. Gaffney and to follow up the
message with a very complimentary
letter.
Mr. Gaffney is a Cherokee boy, the
son of Capt. and Mrs. R. M. Gaffney,
of this city, and a young man of
whom any community might be
proud. He is a typical gentleman,
both in character and deportment,
and it is a genuine pleasure to know
him. We beg to extend to him our
sincere congratulations and to assure
him of our best wishes for his con
tinued success.

CLARY AT LIMESTONE.
Mr. Cheshire and Miss SrhlUer Will Also
he Present.
The appearance of Mary Louise
Clary in the college auditorium next
Thursday evening will surely be an
important event in the musical his
tory ot Limestone and Gaffney, as she
is unquestionably the greatest Amer
ican contralto. It is a fact deserving
of mention that the two most cele
brated American singers appear in
Gaffney and Spartanburg the same
week. This speaks eloquently for
the musical and artistic appreciation
of the people.
In addition to Clary we shall hear
at Limestone the harpist who is ac
knowledged to be the finest that
England ever produced, John Ches
hire. As a harpist* and a composer
of harp music John Cheshire has
never been surpassed.
The pianist, Miss Celia Schiller, is
a young lady of decidedly attractive
personality who has seldom failed to
arouse the enthusiasm of the most
distinguished musical critics, both in
America and abroad.
