Mayor’s court yesterday morning
was a listless affair, as not a single
prisoner faced the eagle eye of the
mayor when it swept the empty court
room. The day before only a plain
drunk appeared, who cheerfully con
tributed $5.00 to a good cause—the city
of Gaffney.

Ga., but was well known here when he
was residing at Blacksburg.

widespread popularity in this commu-
nty.

comodating postmaster, has just had
a neat and tasty envelope printed in
which to place stamps for his cus

bearing the hour of the closing of each
mail and rates for postage. These en
velopes speak well of our postmaster’s
generosity and will no doubt he ap
preciated by patrons of the postofflee

A ’phone message was received in
the city Wednesday by the sheriff
that Mr. Phillip Hambrlght had been
found dead near King's Creek. No de
tails whatever could be learned Wed
nesday night. However, yesterday
King’s Creek was reached by
’phone and it was found that Mr.
Phillip Hambrlght, About sixty years
of ae:e, was found dead about Ave
o’clock Wednesday afternoon in his
Aeld about 200 yards from his home.

was still w’arm and bora no evidences
of foul play. On the other hand it Is
thought that his death was the result
of heart failure. The funeral services

deemed necessary as it seemed to be
"’ain that he died of heart failure.
He is survived by a wife and one
daughter."
Before Commissioner Bell.
Earl Ellis, or P. E. Ellis, a young
white man. who lives in the upper part

urday by Deputy Marshal A. I,. Hall
man and brought before XT. S. Commis-
sionner James B. Bell. Monday on the
oVartre of selling whiskey. Commis-
sionf"* Bell gave Ellis a preliminary
hearing Mondfcv afternoon and on
conclusive proof bound him over to
United States court for its next term
at' Greenville. During the progress of
the trial Ellis, himself, went on the
stand and testiAed that he had sold
a few kegs of whlskev. but that he was
unaware of the fact that he was doing
anything wrong when ha did so. He
also told that he had bought his whis
key in Marion, N. C.. and that he sold
it simply for accommodation, selling
it for the purchase price, exactly for
what he gave for It in Marion, and
did not even include the price of his
expenses and railroad fare to and
from Marion. Ellis is a young man of
good appearance. Ho was released
on. bond for his appearance at court.
Much surprise was evidenced in the
court, at the generosity of the young
man furnishing his friends with whis
ker at the price paid for it and very
kindly saving them from a tri" to a
point where it might be obtained.

Three Things to Consider
In Buying a Stove or Range
Quality, Economy, Price.
First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soon crack
—it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and you are dissatisfied.
Second—The Range or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes throngh un-
necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then
your fuel bill is too heavy and you are not satisfied.
Third—Don’t yield to the common iallacy that the article sold for the fewest
dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it. isn’t
cheap at any price. Its not what you pay for a thing that counts, its what you
get for your money.
Fourth—Our celebrated Leader Stoves and Matchless Ranges are especially strong
on these points—in fact, all points pertaining to stove perfection—made of the best
material, don’t crack, will cut your fuel bill to half, consequently the most economi
cal. They are worth every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s considered
—not cheapness.
Cotne let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration, but
they are sure to go higher, as you well know, everything is advancing.
