“We Don’t Pay House Rent Any More”
Have you ever heard this beautiful, soul inspiring little ballad? Well
you ought to hear it. There are several homes in Gaffney now’where it
is sung daily. Twelve months ago they didn’t kn«w the tune.
TUNE. '
“We are Living on Easy Street Now,”
PITCH.
Your own strings will do to go by if you have*a heart.
Now please everybody sing
•‘We don’t pay house rent any more,
And we are not afraid to go to the door,
Morning, noon or night,
Let the door bell ring, we continue to sing”
WHY?
’Cause we’re in the Building and Loan all right, all right.
The next chance to get in is now and any of the stockholders will
take pleasure in explaining the method. See about it at once.

A Pe iliarly Revolting Crimo.
(News and Courier.)
If the circumstances of the shooting
of Lois Glover are as alleged In a dis
patch which we printed yesterday
morning from our Gaffney correspon
dent. it Is Impossible not to feel that
swift and heavy punishment should be
dealt out by the criminal courts of
Cherokee county to Preyor Scruggs.
The charge Is that this man pursued
the woman two miles, attempted a
criminal assault upon her, and then
shot her when she snapped a pistol
at him In her effort to defend herself.
A more revolting crime than this Is
described to be cannot easily be imag
ined.
The color of the woman Is no de
fence of Scruggs. Her efforts to pro
tect herself are sufficient proof that
she Is entitled to the protection of so
ciety and the courts. With the decent
people of every section of the country
crying aloud against miscegenation, it
would seem that a negro woman who
respects herself enough to do as this
woman did should win the approba
tion and sympathy of all right-think
ing and right-feeling men of every
race. The women of her color have
been too often denounced because of
their lack of chastity, for Lois Glover
not to be avenged against her assail
ant
It is humiliating beyond expression
that such a deed should have been
done in South Carolina. We regret
to have to rehearse here any of its
details; but we deem It a matter of
duty and of Justice to do so. Thto
woman did what vre would commend
a white woman for doing. Were she
a white woman there Is no question
of the fact that her assailant might
have held himself fortunate had he
even been accorded a trial by jury.
If the good men of Cherokee county
are what we believe them to be they
will not rest until rigorous punish
ment has been meted out by the
courts of this offender against so
many written and unwritten laws.
He Would have sinned against his
race and against society at large; he
has sinned against the statutes. To
brutish passion ho coupled cowardice.
Nor has he even the pitiful excuse
that he acted without premeditation
Having followed his victim for two
miles when she had defended herself
as best she could It Is alleged that
“he then loaded his gun and shot her.”
We repeat that a more revolting
crime than this is alleged to be has
not come to our attention, and we
trust that an example will be made
of the criminal which will nrove a
salutary lesson to his kind. Cherokee
county owes It to herself that this
shall be done.

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 yon are dissatisfied.
Second—The Range or Stove that is built so that-the heat escapes through un
necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then
your fuel bill is too heavy and you are uot satisfied.
Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy 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. Us^ot^ha^ou^a^^or^a^thin^tha^counts^ts^jvha^vou
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.
Come 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.

Crime—At Gaffney.
(Columbia State.)
There should be no surprise at the
indignation of Gaffney at the shocking
tragedy in that town on Friday, result
ing in the death of Milan Bennett and
Abbott Davison. There is no foretell
ing what a jury will do; there is no
knowing what stories will be hatched,
how witnesses will be manufactured,
how far attempts to buy jurors will
be pushed—there is no knowing and
so we have ceased to predict. But if
there is manhood in Cherokee the do
ng to death of those two strangers
will be revenged by the State of
South Carolina’s great arm indicting
the commands of Justice.
What a spectacle do we present to
the world! And what Jo the men and
women of South Carolina think about
it? In this State, where the boast ie
so often shouted that “our women
shall be protected,” in this State
where a woman, however humble,, is
supposed to command a degree of res
pect from men who call themselves
chivalric, two women are grossly In
sulted at their hotel by one of the
proprietors, and their natural protec
tors, who protect, are shot to death.
“Our women must be. protected!”
But are their protectors to be mur
dered for playing the man?
Yes, those women whose insulter
Bennett and Davison upbraided are
“actresses.” And who are actresses?
Often they are women who for the
bread they and their loved ones eat
must buffet against the roughest part
of the world, endure hardships, per
form great tasks of labor and expose
themselves to the temptations that
are ever present. How little the worli
appreciates the trials of these people
How little is known of the drudgery
of their lives; of their pitifully small
wages; of their sacrifice for the sake
of those at home. Little is known of
their good works, but If one, surround
ed by the wolves of temptation, falls
hands are held up in shocked amaze
ment—and the profession is damned
But, certainly in South Carolina, '
woman performing honest work a
maintaining a respectable demeanor
is entitled to Immunity from gross In
suit and, if insulted, the insulter is
deserving of chastisement and entitl
ed to no plea of self-defense if he
slays the protector of the woman he
offended. But those actors were not
armed. The life of George Hasty was
never in danger. When confronted by
two men, the spirit of the coward—
already revealed in previous conduct
—prevailed and the deadly weapon
he carried in the dining room of his
own hotel was drawn and used—to
South Carolina’s shame unless the
law has vindication.

kowsky, of Charlotte, will deliver a
