her of crimes of each succeeding year

In 1900 there was the seme number.

Soiuetlilue et IntereBt to all Amaaemeut
Lovers,
It this age of theatrical productions
plays are as numerous as the autumn
leaves. Some of them are happily
designated, others not. To the for
mer class belongs “Railroad Jack.”
Tbe play is always received with deep
pleasure by an intelligent assem
blage. The story of tbe play is vastly
interesting and alternately humorous
and pathetic, interspersed with high-
class specialties. Tbe moral of
“Railroad Jack” is worthy of hearty
commendation, that form of sin
which subdues the mind and tbe pity
which melts the heart, contributes to
elevate the moral and spiritual tone
of mankind, is depicted in the comedy
drama, which promises to be inter
preted by an evenly balanced cast,
and every indication is given that tbe
play will be well received on its pre
sentation at tbe Star Theatre next
Thursday night by the new “Railroad
Jack” Co.
The organization carries an enor
mous black maned South A frican man
eating lion, the most ferocious as
well as the king of beasts. “Duke,”
as he is called, occupies one of the
most important parts during tbe
action of the play. A large sum of
money is paid to use tbe blood thirsty
animal to devour a young lady who
is heir to a large fortune of which she
is kept in ignorance, by the villain,
who plans her destruction, that he
r. y gain possession of it.
To« lady is rsst into the lion’s
cage in full view of tbe audience and
is rescued from under the lion’s paw
by a tramp, who was in tbe past a
lion tamer, and at one time was the
trainer of Duke. Tbe tramp happens
on the scene just as the large beast
makes bis mad leap which means
death and destruction to tbe heiress,
but at the sound of tbe tramp’s voice,
he becomes as mild and docile as a
lamb. This is conceded to be one of
the most realistic scenes ever offered
the American public.

Once upon a time a donkey fell in
to a deep hole,and after nearly starv
ing caught sight of a passing fox and
implored the stranger to help him
out.
“lam too small to aid you.” said
the fox, “but I will give you some ad
vice. Only a few rods away is a big.
strong elephant. Call to him and he
will get you out in a jiffy.”
After the fox had gone the donkey
thus reasoned: “I am very weak
from want of nourishment. Every
move I make is just so much addi
tional loss of strength. If I raise my
voice to call the elephant I shall be
weaker yet. No, I will not waste my
substance that way. It is tbe duty
of the elephant to some without call
ing.”
8o the donkey settled himself back
and evidently starved to death.
Long afterward the fox on passing
the hole saw within a whitened skele
ton and remarked:
' If it be that the souls of animals
are transmigrated into man thatjdon-
key will become one of those who can
never afford to advbrtise,”

Our friends of the First Baptist
church of Gaffney had a great time
last Sunday on the occasion of the
dedication of their beautiful house of
worship. It must have been a happy
occasion for brethren Robertson, Cree
and Sims, especially. It is seldom
that the pastor-elect, the retiring pas
tor and his immediate predecessor
are permitted to meet in the same
pulpit under conditions so inspiring
and auspicious. We heartily con
gratulate the First church and breth
ren Robertson, Cree and Sims.

days with them.
The committee having tbe work in
charge are pushing the building of
the new (Union) church near the old
Mount Mariah site. This church, we
understand, will be called Rebobotb.
Mr. John A. Hames, the treasurer,
will be glad to get the contributions
in hand so as to meet the bills com
ing in. This h a commendable work
and we hope our people will show
tbeir appreciation of it, by coming up
to the help of the committee. The
small amounts paid by each one will
hurt nobody, but the aggregate
sums will greatly help the committee
who have been dilligent during the
holidays pushing on the work. We
will be glad to publish a list of the
names and contributions as soon as
tbe work is finished.

One of the most fashionable wed
dings ever celebrated in this neigh-
borhotd among the colored people,
took place near here last Wednesday
at 2 o’clok p. m. The contracting
parries wore James Smith and Lovicie
Edwards, who are members of the
host colored families in this county.
Rev.Wilkes pronounced the ceremony.
A beautiful table was spread, laden
with the best of edibles. Those com
petent to judge, said it was simply
the finest of the season.
W e are glad to note the progress
our worthy^colored people are making
along these lines of advancement.
They had good order, we are told, and
everything passed off delightfully.
Fhe colored people, as a general
thing, are making better use of tbeir
advantages than many of the whites
are doing. They take greater nride
in trying to make themselves some
body than do those of the whites wiio
have lost all their self-respect.

We are glad to note the fraterml
feeling existing among the employers
and employees of the York cotton
mills. This is the kind of work that
makes the world happier and better.
Also we note with much pleasure that
the York police didn’t make a single
arrest on account of drunkness during
Christmas day. How many more
towns of the same size can truthfully
say the same thing? Let us hear

We are in favor of young peopU
enjoying themselves and like to sec
them do so But there are extreuus
which mark the boundry of pro
priety that should be observed. We
do not belong to that old “Tom Cat”
stripe of folks who think that young
people ought to be shut up in some
cold, dark dungeon to while away
their lives. No, no, not that But
we want to help them to enjoy life
in such a way as to make it pleasant
and happy. Human nature has not
changed. It’s just what it always
has been and always will be. The
successful physician is one who
doesn’t claim to cure the fever, but
to guide it through its course, helping
nature in every possible way to re
pair tbe injured health until it has
regained its former strength and the
patient is set free. So the young
mind can by discreet and common
sense methods, if taken in time and
properly treated, be made to yield to
better influences.
In the home where parental in
fluences have been improperly exer
cised, we find refractory children—
those who disregard tbe wishes of
their parents and trample them un
der foot. Those children have not
been properly trained in infancy or
youth and hence old age will be
spent in pondering over misspent
opportunities.
The wise man watches himself as
well as bis children.
We have read with much interest
Rev. W. T. Derieux's sketch of Capt.
John H. Montgomery. With Capt
Montgomery and the noble traits of
character he possessed, the general
public were not fully acquainted. In
tellectually tnd morally, he was no
common man. His highest aim was
to elevate and improve the condition
of all who came in contact with him.
He was, of course, better known to
the world as a successful business
man . than a philanthropic, careful,
painstaking Christian gentleman,
who was always ready with his means
to help in any laudable and deserving
project. Peace to his ashes.

How We Catch a Cold.
A cold is sometimes contracted
while remaining inactive for a while
in an uncomfortable room or a cold
draft and by falling to sleep under
like conditions. But most colds are
caught while sleeping too cold at
night. Deep sleep causes sluggish
circulation winch renders the syHtem
tUHOeptlble to change of temperature.
To prevent colds, sleep uf’der plenty
of cover. To cure colds use Rydales
Elixir, it lessens the severity and
shortens the duration of a cold and
