AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. For some 5ears it has been known that Cherokee county contained the greatest deposits of minerals of any county in the State, and a few of our citizens have been giving them more or lees attention. One of these is Capt. S. S. Ross, who has for years been prospecting, and at times work ing mines to a less or greater extent, all the time keeping such informa tion as he gained to himself. Some time in February last, while looking over bis farm in the suburbs of Goffney, he discovered, to him, a peculiar and hitherto unknown min eral, which, from his information, he believed to be tin ore. He at once gotout some specimens and sent them to Col. M. B. Hardin, chief chemist at Clemson College, who upon in vestigation decided with Capt. Ross, that it was tin. Upon Col. Hardin’s assurance, and others whose opinions Capt. Ross regarded, he went quietly to work and opened up the mine and soon discovered that be bad the ore in good quantities. He then went to Pittsburg and sub mitted his discovery to capitalists, who formed a company to work his mine, which they had no trouble in doing when he exhibited bis ore and satis fied the capitalists of the probable quantity. This company, like Capt. Ross, has been working quietly, and a few days ago came to Gaffney to begin opera tions. Some of the machinery is on the ground and is now being put in place. As soon as the machinery i* j in position active mining of the ore ! will begin. It is probable that it is not gener ally known that no tin ore of any consequence has ever been discovered in the United States before this, and the present outlook indicates that Gaffney has it almost in her borders in sufficient quantities to warrant us in saying that Capt. Ross’ discovery will bring right into our city one of the most imoortant industries in the United States, and one of a magnitude almost beyond the conception, of one not well up in its wonderful importance, not only to tbe county and State, but to tbe whole United States. As we said at the outset, Cherokee county has more minerals than any county in tbe State, and this new discovery will renew interest in them and be tbe cause of more discoveries which will attract other scientific miners to the county. Cberok«e’s great mineral deposits, water powers, fine farming land and hustling people will soon make her one of the richest counties in the State. Program of the Monday School Union.

Oq Wednesday next, Nov. 5th, America’s representative minstrel organization, the Who What When Minstrels, appear at the Star Theatre. This company has been received with the utmost enthusiasm by large houses in every city it has appeared in, and the press ennomiuma of the different cities visited have been of the highest order. Tbe company has been selected with the greatest care, and every person connected with the company is a finished artiet. Tbe vocal contingent of the show is one of the many meritorious features, while in tbe olio can be found such famed stars as Weaver and Donna, Frosto and Wardo, Geo. Lambert, Hogan Bros., Goldsmith and Hoppe, Sher wood and Fox, Geo. Weaver, Hi Tom W’ard, Nat Blossom, an array of ar tists never before seen in any one organization, and tbe amusement- loving people of Gaffney surely have a rare treat in store for them. As an organization they are unequaled, everything new. There is not a slow number on tbe programme, and all who attend can rest assured that they will have a pleasant time. It is an old saying, that to see one minstrel show is to see them all, but the Who What When Minstrels will disprove that statement. They are refined, clever and amusing. 8a e of seats will begin today at The Led ger office. Tbe following is what some of tbe papers say of the Who What When Minstrels: ‘'One of the largest and most fash ionable audiences was out last evening to see the W’ho What When Minstrels in their brand new production. There were forty-eight people in tbe first part, and it was a first part seldom if ever seen before. The clever witti cisms of George Weaver,Nat BiossomU Hi Tom Ward and Gear Buckley, kept the house in one continuous round of laughter. The singing of Sherwood and Fox, the unique comedy four,and Julian Walsh, was par excel lent. In the olio was the French Gavotte by Frosto and Wardo, enti tled “Aunt Matildy’s Reception,” telling a love story without words, at once tbe most gorgeously dressed act we have ever seen. The unique comedy four was the next number on the programme, and they were fine, from the heavy opera to the most lively “coon ballad.” Weaver and Donna did one of the most unique acts on the bill, taking three encores. The sensational Austins, on the triple bars was a very clever and new Eu ropean novelty, lately imported for ‘Ms nmMr!>‘; f 'n. Goldsmith and H 01— hit in th'ir mu- a.o-i uoi. .x ucb.ci' uiinelrei CuUibi- uation would be hard to find on this side of the waters.”—N. Y. Herald. “The Who What’When Minstrels, presenting a really meritorious per formance, opened a week’s engage ment at tbe Grand last night, to an audience that filled every available bit of space long before the rising of tbe curtain. The rapid-fire jokes of tbe comedians, the singing of the dif ferent vocalists were received with shouts of laughter and applause, while the olio presented an array of clever artists seldom before equaled, and indications point to a week of record-breaking business.”—Grand Rapids, Michigan, News. “The Who What When Minstrels entertained a fairly good audience at the Auditorium last night. This was their second visit to Florence, and they fully sustained the reputation they made on their former visit. All the numbers on the programme were well executed. Tbe electrics I illus trations were aipecially pleasing and were perhaps the most attractive specialties. Tbe minuet at the close of the entertainmant was a charming □ umber, and was greatly admired by the audience.—Florence (3. C,) Times. Notice to Our AdvertWera.

The Star Attraction, of the Season ah the Star Theatre Ihiesday Night.. “At Cozy Corners” was the attrac tion at the Star Theatre last Tuesday night. Of the piny and the players The Ledger has had a good deal to say and there is nothing left to be said except that it was tbe besh at traction that has visited Gaffney this season, and thero L not likely t» be another that will equal it. Miss Thucston is a talented and pretty little actress, and has surrounded herself with an admirable and capable company. She captivated the audi ence from the beginning and held their attention and sympathy throughout the evening. Mr. Hope's Clyde Hollister was cleverly and artistically executed. Miss Glover, as Amanda, who “only works out for accommodation,” was exceptionally good. Miss Allen was charming as Sophia, her giggle was infectious, causing many of the audience to laugh “until they cried.” Mr. Stevens was an excellent villian. Miss Harcourt, as Mrs. Deacon Bart lett, wt^o bad a “fountain of sympa thy,” was delightful. Mr. Fox, as Rob gave a perfect rendition of the youthful lover. Mr. Reynolds, as the stingy Deacon Pettibone, made a hit which will long be remembered. In conclusion, we join with the audi ence in saying that it was a most de lightful performance, and that those who failed to witness “Cozy Corners” missed a treat for which they have □ one to blame but themselves. It is very evident that Gaffney peo ple do not appreciate tbe class of attractions the management has been bringing to Gaffney. Tde audi ence was a select one, and tbe only objection that can be raised is that it was about half the size it should have been. Gaffney has the prettiest little theatre in the State. It is the art' miration of all the theatrical people who have visited Gaffney, and the local managers have worked faithfully to secure a class of attractions that are superior to any that visit a town of this size. In fact they have not yet had a show that has visited another town this size—each and every one of them playing in the larger cities—and it is a shame that their efforts to bring first-class attrac tions have not met with a better re sponse on the part of tbe people. The State fair. From reports we get out of the Col umbia dailies, the fair this year is a big success. There seem to be no products of Cherokee farms on exhi bition.
