A search of the pockets of the de ceased’s cluthes revealed his identity. There were several lettrs and a note book bearing his name, H. F. Wright. He had on his person at the time of his tragic death a purse containing $160.17, a 32-calibre pistol, a flask, which was crushed by the car wheels, a gold watch, two packages of smok ing tobacco and sewera souvenir pos tal cards. Wright spent Monday in Spartan burg. He had two companions, and the three were bent on fun and frolic. Wright must have lingered on the steps of the coach, although there is no one who saw him fall or who knows the particulars of his death. He presumably lost his balance and fell under the car. No. 40 was in charge of Conductor Rosen borough and Engineer Ed. Smith. The inquest over the body was held at Floyd’s undertaking establishment by Coroner Turner. An Amusing Sight.

It is doubtful, too, if there is any other edifice large enough to hold all the Browns there are. in which case the Star Theatre ought to be taxed to its utmost with those who will want to see the latest farcical effu sion “Brown’s in Town” when it is pre sented on next Tuesday night. The author has constructed a farce which is said to be entirely new in its theme, and one that Is original In for prohibiting his son from taking unto himself a wife. Farces such as "Brown’s in Town” rely in a measure upon the people interpreting them. They must not only be good actors, especially adapted to farcical work. This farce has players who will ful fill their requirements admirably. If you are a Brown or if you know a Brown, his reason for being in town will surely anpear particularly funny to you. “Brown’s in Town” is being played in all the large Southern cities ana the company that comes here is the same that plays in Charlotte, Colum bia, Charleston and Atlanta. It is one of the best attractions that will visit Gaffney this season. Sam J. Strain was made superinten dent, T. J. Estes, assistant sunerinten- dent and H. F. Estes, secretary and treasurer. T. J.

As a broad farce comedy it was capi tal. The complicated plot is a won der of ingenuity, and the parts are all simple and were well played, j There was no change of scene. The ; waits were snort and the orchestra covered them with good music. The hit of the evening was made by Miss Verne E. Sheridan, the young lady whose lover was killed in Gaff ney the other week. She was two or three times encored for her singing, and she was nuite charming in her role. | There was not a dull moment from start to finish. The miscarriage of the schemes of the young people to de ceive the old man, his density and dignity, and the ceaseless activity, the absurdity and ludicrousnoss of the situations, from the doings of the English swell to the watery-eye 1 Ger man Freda, kept the house laughing and highly amused. ‘Brown’s in Town’ was an excellent evening’s pastime.” An Anti-Expansionist.
