THINGS THEATRICAL.
Who, What. When MlnNtrels Next Mon
day.
The "Middleton Stock Co.” closed
their three nights engagement at the
Star Theatre on last Wednesday
night. The company is a much bet
ter one dramatically than last season
and they are deserving of better pa
tronage than they received.
The Who, What, When Minstrels,
who are kindly remembered by the
patrons of the theatre, will be the
attraction on next Monday night
They have a larger and stronger com
pany than the one who visited us
last season. A great many new and
novel features nave been added to the
olio. The first part is entirely new
The band is bigger and the news
papers all along the line say that it is
the best minstrel band on the road.
The street parade will take place at
noon as usual.
"One of thelargest and most fash
ionable audiences was outlast even
ing to see the Who What When Min
strels in their brand new production.
There were forty-eight people in the
first part, and it was a first part sel
dom if ever seen before. The clever
witticisms of Burt Parker, A1 Alsora,
James Thornton and Goar Buckley
kept the house in one continuous
round of laughter. The singing of
the unique comedy four and Julian
WaNh was par excellence. In the
olio was a love story without words,
at once the most gorgeously dressed
act we have ever seen. The unique
comedy four was the next number on
the program, and they were fine,
from ihe heavy opera to the most
lively "coon ballad.” Parker and
Alsora did one of the most unique
acts oo the bill, taking three encores.
The sensatioual Austins, the triple
bars, was a very clever and new Eu
ropean novelty, lately imported for
this ccmbinaiion. Goldsmith and
Hoppe made a great hit in their
musical act. A better minstrel com
bination would be hard to find on
this side of the waters”.—N. Y. Her
ald.
"There was quite a stir around town
last, week when the Old Boston Mu
seum and Theatre Orchestra left to
join the Who What When Minstrels.
Every patron of the old theatre will
miss the boys, for ten better men
never graced the front of the house
than the Boston Philharmonic Band
and Orchestra and the management
of the Who What When Minstrels
can be justly proud of this addition
to their already strong show.”—Bos
ton Globe.

Extra Term of Court.
A special term of the court of com-
con nleas will commence at Gaffney

continue two weeks. Mr. J. P. Carey
of Pickens has been appointed spec
ial judge to preside.

Ceiiteuuial Service.
The centennial of Providence
church will be celebrated tomorrow
and Sunday by services fitting th e
important occasion. An elaborate
program has been arranged for both
days and distinguished scholars and
divines have been invited, including
Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, president of
Limestone College, and Dr. Edwin M.
Poteat, president fo Furman UuPvere*
ity to be present and address the con
gregation.
Ninety-eight years ago Joel Lips
comb and St'pheu Jones were “mes
sengers” from Providence church to
the Bethel Association which met
! near Old Cambridge in Abbeville
District, in 1805 The names of Lips
comb and Jones are still prominent
1 ones in this section. They are gener
ally of the Baptist faith still, which
shows how faithful they have been to
the faith of their ancestors that
i Providence church honored nearly a
hundred years ago.

Dear Sir: You understand chemis
try; bow’d you like to earn $1000?
Devoe lead-and-zinc—that’s the
name of our paint that takes fewer
gallons than mixed paint and wears
twice as long as led-and-oil—is made
of white-lead, white zinc, its color,
turpentine dryer, and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds any adultera
tion in this paint we’ll pay his bill
and $1000 besides.
It’s nobody’s business what we pnt
in onr naint, of course; but we want
it known. For lead-and-zinc and
linseed oil. ground together by ma
chinery, are the stuff to paint with;
and lead-and-oi! mixed by hand is
not.
We want it known that one word
describes the best paint in the world;
and that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly

TILE WORLD. We have achieved triumphs in our business this season that we have never attained before; we have captured an element of patronage that we have

High ArL Clothing
Tlie “Mark of the Monument” means first and foremost integrity of fabric
and manufacture. Our“High ArfClothing has been tailored just as perfectly
and thoroughly as though the wearer always stood beside the maker as he
cut and sewed the garments. It is cut by a special system which absolute
ly insures as perfect a fit as making to individual measure could give. Every
piece of goods undergoes a rigid examination and is carefully shrunk before
being made up. This insures PERFECT GOODS AND A PERFECT
FIT during the long life of the Suit. WE POINT WITH PRIDE TO
OUR STOCK OF "HIGH ART” CLOTHING.
Ladies’ Fine Dress Goods.
In this department, we have all the latest fabrics in the leading weaves and

the Shoe W’orld. You must see these goods and wear them to fully under
stand their indefinable, indescribable merits in style, quality and comfort.

In our Ladies' Department we are showing a swell line of Cloaks and Jackets, in Black and Tan, Shawls, Fascinators and Furs—everything for the winter season.
We invite the Ladies to inspect this line (particularly, as we believe they are the prettiest and most desirable goods ever brought to this market. We can't give them
full justice in cold words. We haven’t mentioned prices—they are a second consideration with us. Cold weather has apparently the same effect on our prices this sea

greatly reduced valuation. Let us convince you that we are truly your friends,
