The rainfall yesterday afternoon
was extremely heavy for a short time
but the only damage that we have
heard of was to Suber’s Kandy Kitch-
k en two doors above The Ledger,
where the w ier ran into the house
from the alleyway via. the hack door
so heavily that it did damage to the
extent of about $25.00. The Kandy
Kitchen was literally flooded for a
short time. Proprietor Suber re
mained cheerful, however, through it
all. and no one would have guessed
from his demeanor that he had been
in a flood.
A Popular Gaffney Lady Wedded Last
Wednesday.
Wednesday morning at the resi
dence of R. S. Lipscomb, on Freder
ick street. Miss Blanche Wilson, ot
this city, and Mr. J. E. Bagwell, of
Spartanburg, were united in mar
riage. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. E. O. Watson, of Spartan-
1 burg.
The engagement had been kept a
secret and only a very few friends of
the couple were pdesent, among them
| being the following from out of town:
Mr. E. C. Bagwell, Mr. Walter Baugh
man, Mrs. W. D. Wright, Mrs. S. M.
Bagwell.
The bride and groom left on the
9:42 train for Toxaway to spend some
time, and from there they will go to
St. Louis to take in the exposition.
Mr. Bagwell is a well known mer
chant of Spartanburg, while Miss
Wilson has been engaged with the
well known firm of Carroll, Carpenter

“Little Princess.”
The presentation of “Little Prin
cess” here for the benefit of silver
service fund for battleship “Georgia"
was greeted by one of the largest and
most appreciative audiences of the
season. Too much cannot he said in
praise of the play; too much cannot
be said in praise of Miss Sanford.
Not only is the story interesting but
as an amateur spectacular play it has
never been equalled in Athens and
compares favorably with the best in
the professional line. Miss Sanford's
ability to train the children in so
short a time is marvelous. And one
is amazed at the snap throughout the
entire performance, and the short in
termissions between scenes, consider
ing that over one hundred children
are on the stage.
The play was financially, artis
tically and socially a great success.

A Season of Danger
You’re wise if you have an Insurance Policy safe and sure. If you
have not, you run a good deal of risk. The excessive heat, storms
and cyclones, and the dangers of travel at this season, all make life a
little more uncertain and property unsafe.
