There is always more or less competition in every town or city for business, and there is an old saying that “competition is the life of trade,” and] we believe it.
We are not greedy and we do not want or expect all the business, but we want our share, and expect to get it. New goods rolling in every day, and also rolling
out as fast as they arrive. A beautiful line of dainty Dress Goods to arrive this week.

ways, is a combination in force
at this store, that makes it
worth while going out of your

comes price. Our goods are
priced at a close margin of

there are any lower prices any
where else.

and snow were falling, mixed with
rain.
A charter has been granted to the
Gaffney Lime Company. The capital

Mr. W. O. Moore, a farmer of this

After the rain, hail and snow Wed
nesday, it cleared off at night and

much damage it done, but think it
will be inconsiderable.

Farmers report their fields In al
most the finest tilth that they ever
had them, and almost all of them are
planting crops this week. Some, how
ever, are still holding back on ac
count of the continued cold weather.
Attention is directed to the notice
of the Hitt Salvage Company in this
issue. Some of this cotton, which
was redried and rebaled, has been re
cently sold in Spartanburg. The cot
ton has been located and suit insti
tuted, which seems likely to discover
the parties who sold it there.
There is no falling off of the out
put of Capt. Ross’ tin mine. It is
showing up better every day. Last
Friday he got out 2300 pounds of
clean ore. The Captain’s tin mine is
attracting increased attention in
this country and Europe. This week
it has had visitors from as far east
as Philadelphia and as far west as
El Paso, Tex.
The city council has wisely, as sug
gested by The Ledger, added another
policeman to the city force and placed
him on duty at Limestone Springs,
which is one of the most important
beats in the city. It is one that re
quires great prudence, coolness and
courage. Mr. Roy P. Martin has
been elected and assigned to duty
on this new beat and we expect to
hear a good account of his work in
his new sphere.
Sheriff Thomas recently located
in Charlotte some of the convicts
who had escaped from the county
chaingang and the police of that city
arrested two of them for him. 'He
went to Charlotte Monday evening
and that night brought Charles Lit
tlejohn and Alex McGoogle, both col
ored, back to Gaffney, and Tuesday
morning delivered them to the mana
ger of the county’s good roads gang
to serve the balance of their time, if
they don’t escape again.
Mr. R. D. Jones, superintendent of
the Victor Cotton Oil mill, is building
a handsome cottage on East Jeffer
ies street. It is beautifully located
and as it goes up it presents beautiful
outlines, and its interior arrangement
is such that it will he one of the most
convenient and comfortable homes
in the city and an ornament to the
street, which is already noted for its
pretty homes.
Mr. Steadman as Host.
