The peopl^ 0 f Gaffney are to be con gratulated flpon the fact that they are to have an^opportunity of hearing next Saturday ftight one of the ablest epeakers ( n the Unite3 States,’ when Congressman David DeArmond will appear at the Star Theatre and de liver hij? famous lectui^ “Victory and Defeat.” The follwi*' r « are some of the opinions of Mr t DeArmond as ex pressed by prominent men:* Atlanta, Ga., April 20, 1905. ■ . Hy Dear ’gi r: f send congratu- lafions upoy your securing the servi ces of the lion. David A. D’Armond as a speaker. i n ni y judgment, Hon. David A. I#‘Armond is not only the ablest Dem^ cra t i n lower house, but one of most polished and beau tiful speakekg } n Ametica.

Congressman Johnson says: "ft takes an extraordinary speaker fn at tract the attention of the House of Representatives, but Judge DeArmond, of Missouri, can get the attention of every member in the House whenever he rises to speak, no matter what the subject under discussion may be.’ TWAS ON A MONDAY MORNING. Work Resumed on Depot. ‘ ft is a fact that work on the new de pot for Gaffney, which has been sus- t-opded for some time, has been ne- sunied. This caused almost universal rejoicing, as the suspension cast a damper upon the spirit of the peo ple who expected to se^ a start made upon the foundation. Work stor ed on the foundation rather suddenly about January 18th. The reason for the slop has remained something of a roy.sterv since that time. The work was stopped as the result of a mes sage from the contractor, J. A. Jones, of Charlotte, and simply called for a halt in the work until further orders, stating, however, that any material arriving was to be unloaded. Much speculation was caused by the sudden halt but nothing could be learned. Two car loads of brick arrived on the scene Thursday, and Friday Mr, J. W. Sinclair, who is in charge of the body of workmen, arrived in the city to un load these brick and found a message awaiting him to commence work at once. The workmen were to com mence the laying of brick on the foun dation yesterday. Such was the an nouncement made by Mr. Sinclair when seen soon after his arrival ’in the city. He stated that he had know nothing of the work to start until he came to ^nload the brick, when a mess: 1 arrived with the or ders to go ahead. He stated that the halt was called for the fact that a few turned to * power AJr. >ke to an audienr® mostly opposed ‘ feet of ground that was not the prop- hhn in political Views, but bis ad rty of the railroad company was near to dress was ao ioricaf, so dignified, so! the site and that this had to be ad- dlsnassionate given, and still with so —* *v.,„ much persuation. that I have no hesi- Itetion in saying that he created one e»f the best impressions ever made upon the club. • In speakibg thus highly of Mr. De Armond, I d6 so, comparing him with most of the prominent speakers of the United. States who have addressed the club; so that when I say that he created one of the most favorable im- iusted. Whether or not this has been done is not known, but the fact that work will recommence would indicate thet it has. Mr. Sinclair states that the -ration will be nice and thoroughly mode: n. Mr. Jones, when in the city a few weeks ago in connection wVh the depot, gave out the information that the building will be a nice one and one that will harmonize with and be a credit to our thriving city. V/hat Happened at the Mayor’s Mon day Mornirg Matinee. There ivas mayor’s court yesterday mor ing, yes, plenty of It. One could see long before the hour for the open ing i f the court that the usual report, “Nothing doing, your honor," would ngt be brought in this time. Saturday is a gay day and the gay ones Lad to be in perfect harmony with it. ! ncc they felt called upon to celebrate. The af’ermath of a good time Satur- dav Is yearly always a bad time Mon day morning In the mayor’s court, vnyway about four cases loomed up when tha docket was opened and squinted at. One charged with dis orderly conduct, did not think it ad visable to put in an appearance, hence iiis bond was forfeited. However his presence was not missed as there were enough on hand to make things in teresting. Two white men were there on a charge of disorderly conduct and one had a charge of concealed weap ons attached. The latter admitted that he was drunk and might possibly have been disorderly, but on the con cealed weapon count he balked, and was allowed to protest. The ground on which he based his kick was that he was a barber by trade and that he was on the way to shave or cut the hair of a customer, the scribe’s mem ory being short he forgets which: however it might have been both, as a razor and a pair of scissors were in court. The prisoner also introduced a comb. He admitted that he might, have become intoxicated while en- route and cussed a little, which in po lice parlance is termed disorderly con duct. The mayor waived the razor and scissors charge on the ground that he was really about pursue his trade of barber when persuaded away bv the wiles of Bacchus. For thus submitting to the god of wine he was allowed to contribute five simoleons to the coffers of the city. Anther man appeared for drunken ness and a little disorder combined, and as he, too, wished to contribute something the mayor allowed him to go into his jeans and fetch forth $1.50. Will Anderson, a diminutive un bleached American, was present to represent his race and color at the tribunal. When called on for a speech it developed that he was pres ent in response to a charge of petit larceny, with the possibility of va- grancy in the back ground, and as iti porved later In the foreground too. H seems that Will had forgot to take hack a‘knife, and trouble began. “Lit-1 tie Willie,” like many other people, 1 couldn’t stand to be Investigated or! thrown too much In the lime light, hence a little questioning disclosed the ; very painful fact that just at this ^ time, and for some time past. Will had not held down a job anywhere, and he said he wasn’t working. The mayor does not mind being philanthropic a little bit, and as he remarked, “We will give you a job, Will;” so for the next thirty days Will will have the, novel experience of seeing how real work Is done, as he has recently wit nessed anvlhing, pertaining to worn only from the streets of the city, and as in this case it is truly “distance lends enchantment to tne view" the! experience' will doubtless be more novel than pleasant.

Jud Sarratt’s ^ crack mule team at Letter to Gaffney Live Stock Co. Gaffney S. C. Dear Sirs: The way to reckon the cost of paint is to put both costs to- 1 get her: the cost of the paint and the 1 cost of puttting it on. It would save this country htmdreds of millions of dollars a year: it would save ycu alone (if you happen to be a victim) several dollars a year. See how it works. It costs as much to put-on one paint as another, don’t it? Yes, if you use the same number of gallons Well, don’t I? No, you’ll use twice as many gallons of adulterated paint as of Devoe; and you’ve got to pay twice as much for putting it on. .Mr N Avery, Delhi. N Y, has two houses alike and in same condition. Painted one house with Devoe: fi gal lons. Painted the other house with a paint that was half adulteration: 12 gallons. Same painter. Geo. Gilbert, did both jobs. One cost $27; the other $54. Better go by the name. Yours truly F W Devoe & Co 12 P. S. R. M. Wilkins Hardware Co. sell our paint. ^saffney Live Stock Co’s.
