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.

AT COZY CORNERS..
The Who Whet When Mimitrels will to In
Geffney next Wednesday night.
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,)

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.
When it comes to laughing stocks
the pessimist is a hear and the opti
mist a bull.
SHYLOCM
Shylock was the man who
wanted a pound of human
flesh. There are many
Shylocks now, the convales
cent, the consumptive, the
sickly child, the pale young
woman, all want human flesh
and they can get it—take
Scott’s Emulsion.
Scott’s Emulsion is flesh
and blood, bone and muscle.
It feeds the nerves, strengthens
the digestive organs and they
feed the whole body.
For nearly thirty years
Scott’s Emulsion has been the
great giver of human flesh.

A Great Sale of Shoes.
During the past two weeks we have had a “big run” on
shoes—have sold more than ever before for the same length of
time. Our tremendous cut in prices incident to our removal to
new quarters did the work. We knew that the great reduction
would move them, and we were not disappointed.
Other Lines as Well.
We have been kept busy in our other departments too, and
the goods are still going at the same cut-rate prices. We don’t
want to move them, and therefore have made such reductions in
prices as will MOVE THEM FOR US. We maintain that no
one is offering such bargains as we are giving now, and you’ll
agree with us if you will come in and see for yourself. Come
