The local cotton market yesterday was 10.75, with very little of the fleecy staple being offered. The weather indication fo^ today is fair and warm, which Is also an indi cation that the “gee-haw” will echo o’er the hills and Alps of Cherokee. Dr. Simms announced Sunday night that he expected a protracted meeting to begin the first Sabbath in April and that Kev. Wm. E. Hatcher, of Virgin ia, would help. Dr. R. C. Garland, the popular and accommodating manager of the Gaff ney Drug Company, has installed an up-to-date cash register on his coun ter. “Pa” Garland is nothing if not up-to-date and the addition is thor oughly in harmony with its surround ings. It is already proving a draw in" card, as they flock from far and near to see how gracefully “Doc” rings up the chink. Mr. Claude Wilson, of this city, was brought here Friday from Bliacks- hurg. where he was very panfully in jured the same day. He was engaged at his duties as fireman of an engine, whitii was standing at the watering tank there, when he slipped from the top of the engine, striking his head on a box ear and otherwise suffering from the fall. It is thought that his injuries may prove serious, although tuat cannot be definitely stated. Dan Robbs and Saul Camp, both ne groes. convicted or selling liquor at the last term of court in this county, considered yesterday morning about daybreak a favorable time to make a dash for liberty from the convict tent just on the outer edge of the city which glories in the name of Happy Hollow. They were detected how ever, and brought back. Both were very much frightened by the few shots sent after them and concluded that they had better wait awhile be fore making their escape. Excerslses at Limestone College were suspended Friday in deference to Mrs. Victor M. Montgomery who pass ed away at her home in Spartanburg Thursday evening. Mr. Montgomery is president of the board of trustees of the college and both he and bis father have done a great deal for the good of the institution. Dr. Lodge and the senior class were In atten dance at the funeral services. Mrs. Montgomery was a daughter of Cant. H. P. Griffith, the venerable Instructor In English at the college. Fred Archer, a small negro boy who considers it his privilege to make the streets of the city a racetrack on his bicycle, while apparently engaged in delivering parcels, has proven himself a nuisance for sometime. He over reached himself on Saturday evening, on foot, however, at this time. A small negro girl was coming down Limestone street when he tripped her up causing her to fall and severely hurt her arm. An officer locked the hoy up and kept him In the citv pris on all night which will probably serve as a lesson to him and others of the same type. The mayor took occassion to deliver a short talk at the session of his court yesterday morning on the number or negroes that make the streets of the city their home part of every day and nearly all night. First Baptist Church Notes . There was no preaching service at 11 o’clock on account of the funeral of Col. William Jefferies, which oc curred at that hour. At night Dr. Smms preached on “Babes in Christ” to a large congre gation. Following the service the or dinance of baptism was administered. It was a pleasure to have the college girls at the night service. Subscribe for The Ledger; $1 a year. Unet CURES WHERE All Cough Syrup. Tai In ELSE FAILS. p. Tut** Good. Soill by druggietn. Uae CONSUMPTION Littlejohn-Dawklna Scrap. A sensation was created in Gaffney Thursday when Butler Dawkins and Pomp Littlejohn, who rejoices in the name of John Wesley, engaged In a street fight at the busiest hour of the dav on Limestone street, the prin cipal thoroughfare of the city. A crowd collected as soon as it was per ceived that war was In the air and a fight Impending. They were awarded by seeing a first-class exhibition, to quote a spieler for a carnival attract ion, one “well worth your time and trouble to witness.” In the skirmish Littlejohn was struck with a knife over one eye, while Butler did not suffer from the encounter. The fight anparently grew out of previous trouble between the two. A good deal of amusement was created in this city a short while ago by the public an nouncement by Amelia Littlejohn throuirh thp local that she had paid a fabulous price for a small strip of land which she had purchased from a socle*” of which Butler Dawkl"" a prominent member. When her at torney had figured it un. Amelia (who, by the way, *is the better half of the pugnacious Pomp) in the same press announcement states that she was nayine at a rate which, if the strip had amounted to any size, would have nlaced the price well into the thousands. It developed that Butler had engineered th deal, he acting as financier for the society. Bad blood arose between Dawkins and Little john on the strength of this remark able transaction, and when thev met Thursday war began. Pomp is an old negro with a good reputation and a respectable appearance, while he de scribes Butler as a “stuck-up town nigger." When everything is taken into consideration this description does not miss him far. Both have been tried and fined for their puglistlc efforts on the streets. When the Curtain Went Up. A fair audience was present in the city hall yesterday morning when the curtain went up for the first act of the mayor’s matinee. The mayor, of course, essayed the title role. He was assisted by police officers and a gen erous cast of nrisoners, witnesses and spectators. The performance was in teresting from start to finish and moved smoothly from one act to an other until the finish, when the audi ence, one and all, vowed they had re ceived their money’s worth. A mem ber of the troop who was slated to play a drunk and disorderly part was absent, but his place was acceptably fllle’ by an upderstudy, which under- stu y, by the way, consisted of a five dollar bill. Pomp Littlejohn, of pu gilistic fame, was on deck and con tributed $2.50 for his share of the bate receipts on the day of the scrap. The performance today only consisted of two acts.
