Is Economy an Object to You? Howard Cinclnw H Economy, at the expense of quality, is extravagance. The “ Howard” is a piano of quali ty, but economy in its con struction is practiced by elimi nating costly ornamentation. It is modest, but refined; plain, but solid and reliable.

Good-Night N Miss Erin Huff. ovin The Revival Closed. The revival meeting at the First Bap tist church closed Friday night, after having been in progress for nearly two weeks. Friday afternoon Dr. Hamilton preached on the street to a fairly good crowd of interested listen ers. The subject of his discourse was the importance of correct living—the influence of one’s life upon another— and he impressed it upon his hearers that whatsoever they sowed they might expect to reap, and reap a harvest. The doors of the church were opened Thursday night and several were re ceived for membership, and were baptized Friday night. The places of business in the city were generally closed for the afternoon service, so that the employees might attend; and a great deal of interest was manifested in the meeting by all classes, young and old, as all the services were large ly attended. Drs. Hamilton and Simms have done a good work for the Master’s cause in Gaffney, and much of it, no doubt, will be lasting. Dr. Hamilton left Saturday for his home in Kentucky, carrying with him the best wishes of the Gaffney people. Verdict in Stacy Case. In the case of J. A. Carroll, et. al., executors of F. G. Stacy’s estate, against the Fidelity and Casualty Com pany, heard in Greenville last week, a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount sued for, $5,000. After Mr. Stacy died application was made at once to the insurance company for the payment of a policy held by a relative. This was refused on the ground that death did not re sult from accident, but was brought about by Mr. Stacy himself and in the performance of an unlawful act. Suit was begun against the insurance peo ple and the case came up for trial on its merits. It is considered important in the world of accident insurance and will attract unusual attention. The plaintiff was represented by .T. C. Jefferies, Esq., of this city, and H. J. Haynesworth, Esq., of Greenville. Under buy and Under sell is our motto, and ycur Money back if you want it. < THE BATTERY-* J. C. Ratliff, Prop. Young Men’s Sunday. Mr. A. C. Bridgeman, representing the Inter-State Committee of Uje Young Men’s Christian Association, was in the city yesterday morning and ar ranged for a “Young Men’s Sunday” on May 14th. A number of workers will be brought here who will address the congregations of the several churches in the forenoon and at 4 o’clock in the afternoon there will he a mass meeting of the young men at the First Baptist church conducted by these Christian workers. At night there will he a union meeting at the Buford Street Methodist church and | at the Cherokee Avenue Baptist i church. All these meetings will be conducted by Christian workers who j have made a special study of the work ! among young men. A great deal of I good is being accomplished by these | raetings they are holding. Early Closing, The first of May is here and the merchants would do well to adopt the early closing plan. \Ye would not for a moment think of trying to dictate to them how they should run their bus iness but they and their clerks have been working very faithfully since last fall and it appears to us that shorter hours would enable them to do the business and also allow them a much needed rest. Nearly all the stores in the cities are now run on the early closing plan and we like to see Gaffney run on the same principle as the larg er cities. We simply throw this out as a suggestion, believing that the \ merchants will not lose .anything by , adopting the plan. MONEY LOANED. If you want to borrow money on j Gaffney real estate see me. W.
