When you come to the city come in and subscribe for The Ledger. The pea crop is turning out well and the farmers are saving it care fully. Magistrate Phillips sent a twenty day recruit to the good roads class yesterday. The Gaffney Live Stock Company shipped a car load of horses to Colum bia yesterday. All the bill boards in the city are full of Adelaide Thurston papers in “At Cozy Corners.” Cotton as usual is turning out bet ter than first predicted. It is, how ever, nearly all picked out. Rev. \V. T. Thompson will preach in the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church Sunday evening at 7 :30. A mountain man was selling bal sam, as gathered from the tree in the mountains, in Gaffney yesterday. There will be a recital tonight at Limestone College by Miss Mary E. Williams, assisted by Miss Georgia Steedly. Rev. Amos Clary has accepted a call to a Baptist church at Hollins, Va., and will leave in a few days for his work. There is $2,832 worth of clothing to be sold at The Outlet Clothing and Shoe Storejon Oct. 30th and 31st, and Nov. 1st. The attendance at Limestone Col lege has already passed toe high water mark of last session, and others are coming. The slaters are making fair progress on the roof of the new city ball and the masons are nearir.g the sixty foot mark on the towar. Some of the second story wall? o: the Smith Hardware Company block, corner of Granard and Frederick streets, have been finished. Mr. B. F. Bonner and family, of Goucher, have moved to the city and are occupying the W. R. Lipscomb bouse at Limestone Springs. The building of Mr. M. C. Lip scomb’s new brick store on Limestone street will necessitate the removal of one of the antiquated wooden struc tures now on that street. J. C. Robinson, a promiitent jeweler of Chester, spent a few days in the city this week. He displayed a nice line of goods while here and reported business quite satisfactory. Some of the late corn on bottom lands in the county will have a eh.se shave to miss frost. It is made late by the floods of early summer wash ing away the first planting. Congressman Finley has been sent by the National Democratic Exe cutive Committee, to West Virginia to make several speeches in the inte rest of democracy in that state. The many friends of Rev. VV. S. B. Ford in Gaffney will regret to learn that upon reconsideration he has felt it his duty to decline the pastorate of the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church. The warm and somewhat cloudy weather of a few days back was suc- seeded yesterday by an ideal autumn day. The sky was beautifully clear and the air was invigoratingly coo! and crisp. Cherokeeans are moving business this fine weather. Men in all lines in the city are hustling and the farm ers in the county are utilizing everj moment gathering crops and prepar ing for small grain. The county supervisors and com missioners have determined to con vert one of the lower rooms in the court house into a fire-proof vault for the use of the clerk ot court to secure the records of his office. Reserved seats for “At Cozv Cor ners” were placed on sale yesterday and nearly thirty seats were disposed of before six o’clock. The indica tions are that this will be the star theatrical event of the season. It has long been a mooted question in Gaffney whether or not old wooden buildings remaining in the ‘‘fire lim its” can, according to the ordinance establishing said limits, be allowed to be repaired with iuflamable ma terial. Jonathan and Grant Stewart, who were put in jail here last spring by United States Commissioner J. B. Bell, for raising bills of United Kta’es currency, were carried to the United States court at Greenville yesterday to be tried. We do not hear of any move bt iag made by the county supervisor to wards building the storeroom so bid- ly needed at the county jail ad which has been recommended by every grand jury at every term of court for several years. The Curry and Spake block in front of the Star Theatre are nearing com pletion. We learn the Curry room will be occupied by the dispensary a great “moral institution” run b> the State, where the “chemically pure” is dispensed to her thirsty cit- zens. W. O. Lipscomb arrived at bis borne in the city Tuesday from his big railroad grading camp in Camp bell county, Tennessee. He reports his work as progressing well. He is now at work on a tunnel which has to be driven over GOO feet through solid granite. $3* V \$ ONE OF THE BEST. Adelaide Thuntton U Great aad 8be In Well Supported by Mr. Kranel* Hope and a Select Company of Player*. Concerning Mies Thurston who wil’ present “At Cozy Corners” at the Star Theatre next Tuesday evening the Raleigh Tost has to say of her appear ance in that city : “Miss Adelaide Thurston won new laurels in Raleigh last night. “No better performance has been seen here this sea son than that of ‘Cozy Cor ners.’ It is a clever work, full of heart interest, and in the leading role pretty Miss Thurston was particularly strong. She captivated the large audience and was forc ed to respond to repeated curtain calls. In fact, her reception amounted to an ovation, greater than has been accorded any actress here this seas m. “Miss Thurston’s support was of the very best. Mr. Francis Hope, as the minis ter, was second only to Miss Thurston as a star, and his clever interpretation was greatly appreciated and won much applause. Miss Helen Harcourt, Miss Constance UJ Glover and Miss Minnie Miss Adelaide Thurston. Allen were well suited forjtheir roles and, to sum it all up, there was not a misfit anywhere.” .-V^ Frederick Faulding. the eminent actor and authority on stage matters, is resnonsible for the beautiful staging and manner of acting that “At Cozy Corners” is said to reveal. Miss Adelaide Thurston will be seen in that play at the Opera House, Tuesday night October 28th. Shortly after Miss Thurs ton sent Mr. Paulding the manuscript of “At Cozy Corners” to study, be wrote her his opinion of the new play. Among the things he said was the following: “I am really delighted with this play. It is so wholesome and quaint, and its story is of strong, sustained interest and treated in an uncon ventional way. The thing which appeals most to me about this charming play is the splendid opportunity it affords me to introduce quantities of un usual ‘business’ in my own way—and to achieve some v*ery pretty light effects For the climax of Act 3rd I want the scenic artists to give me a large gothic window, such as one sees in country churches, in back-wall of church over pulpit. It is netted as if with white glass. Through this window is seen a ‘tab’ drop representing the moonlit, starry sky and the upper parts of trees; so that when all the lights inside the church are out at different times in the act, I obtain my atmosphere of desolation and sadness for Avis, without the aid of theatrical music in the orchestra, which spoils all effect of nature to me. Again I roust have a narrow lancet window, about six feet wide through which moonlit calcium must stream and ohcd its rays over the pul pit. It means everything to the effectiveness of the act.” It is said that Mr. Paulding’s ideas, and he is one of the best stage managers, have made “At Cczy Corners” a play that causes people to talk of it for days after see ing it. 1 /■ >4w\ ^ 'n. > T Will Tt-n<l to Create a New Variety. Chas. W. Goudelock, a colored farmer who works on Mr. R. B. Le- master’s farm, gave us a cotton boll Wednesday from which he had picked ten locks of cotton It is a well de- veloped b >iI and has ten well defined apartment from which the locks had been picked. Charles says he ba? preserved the seed from this boll, and will plant them next year and try to start a ten 1 ;ck variety. Local Cotton .Market.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the bicod in your body passes through your kidneys or.ee every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex- ^3 cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney ‘rouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, "ind makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned biocd through veins and arteries. I. used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first aoc»oring your kidneys.
