Sentence* of Several Persons for Mi

It now eeefms that since the court
of general sessions has been conclud
ed that a word or two at least may
be in order concerning what business
was disposed of by tht,. body. Any
thing cm the Hasty case la ancient
history and would be veij much out
of order when publishing a resume of
of work done, as the entire history
of the crime and the trial and sen
tence has already appeared in our
columns. The situation on other
criminal business can be srarmed up
in a nutshell: there was not a single
acquittal. We havei already publish
ed an account of what befell most of
those that appeared before the bar
of jusMcei, with the exception of the
cases against Rufus Byars and O. B.
Tate, who were found guilty of as
sault, we have handled the verdicts
and sentences of those pronounced
guilty (and they were several.) Both
Tate and Byars paid fines. Thomas
Postell. Pryor Scruggs, Clarence Sar-
ratti and Calvin Guyton have been
sent to the chain gang to serve
terms. The cases against Madison
Cook, white, for the murder of James
Byars, and Ed. Rainey, colored, for
the murder of a negro girl, were con
tinued until next court.
John Dennis Mehan’s Success.
The following, taken from The Mu
sical Courier, published in New York,
will be of interest to Ledger read
ers because of the very compliment
ary reference to Miss Lillian Wood,
of this city, whom everybody knows
and loves because of her charming
graces:
“As a tree is known by its fruit, so
is a teacher known by his pupils.
Judged by this criterion, John Den
nis Mehan holds an enviable position
among the successful teachers of
New York. The many singers whom
he has trained reveal the excellence
of his method.
“Genuine contraltos are rare. In
this category unquestionably belongs
Mrs. Maurice Macfarlane, a member
of the Detroit Tuesday Musical So
ciety, whose singing has attracted at
tention and elicited glowing compli
ments. She is one of Mr. Mahan’s
pupilrf.
“Blanche Yewell,' of Washington,
D. C., is another contralto who pos
sesses an excellent voice. She, too,
is studying with Mr. Mehan.
“Eva Emmett Wycoff a Chicago
soprano, has been doing most, com
mendable work in concer's and re
citals.
"Lillian Wood, of Gaffney. S. C.;
Colon White, tenor, Richmond, Va.,
and Dr. John Ready. Rochester, N.
Y„ are singers of great promise who
are studying with Mr. Mehan and are
exponents of his admirable method.
“Mr. Mehan is undoubtedly one of
the busiest as well as one of the most
successful of the singin teachers of
New York.”
Barlow & Wilson’s Minstrel Parade.
The big daily street parade of the
Barlow & Wilson minstrels, who will
appear at the Star Theatre Friday,
March 16th. has always been a potent
attraction to the thousands of people
who Hue the principal city thorough
fares to witness it. The parade this
season is pronounced by those who
have witnessed it to be the largest
and grandest in the histogr of in-door
exhibitions. William Sanderman’s
complete military band of twenty-five
solo concert musicians has been en
gaged in its entirity. and will furnish
inspiring music as the big procession
traverses the streets. The parade
will take place at noon. Concert will
he given in front of the theatre! at
7.30 in the evening.

Merchants Grocery Company to Build.
The sound of saw and hammer can
be heard on Frederick street and
grows louder, giving out added sounds
of proenerity day by day. The cause
of it all seems to be the Merchants
Grocery Company are tearing down
their old store-rooms and.offices pre
paratory to erecting a new and up-to-
date structure on the same site. A
member of the firm stated to a Led
ger man Tuesday, who happened by
and expressed surprise at the speedy
way in which the work was being
done, that) they expected to have a
thoroughly modern building when
completed. The building win be a
three-story one, with a commodious
basement. The ^round floor will con
tain one store room and capacious
office and store room for the* whole
sale grocery business. Offices will be
on the third story. The front will be
modem, with plate glass and up-to-
date fixtures. The site of. this com
pany is one of the most b'eautiful in
the city, and with the new building
will show the advantages of our citv
to a greater extent than heretofore.
Lawrence Barlow.
Among the varying styles of ne«o
mimicry the work of Lawrence fllr-
u>w stands out as a distinctive crea
tion in comedy work. His jokes are
pungent, his repartee quietly droll,
his vestures full of su^ressed' fun
and his every action laughable. Mr.
Barlow’s style of portrayal belongs to
the modern school, and is nartWil^rlv
pleasing to the fastidious theatre
goers, from hhe fact that he avoids any
suggestion of coarseness or “horse
play.” In song and story Mr. Barlow
is a bubbling fount of clean, spark
ling wit and melody. Peals of laugh
ter invariably follow his clever sal
lies; his humor is choice and -'•'niant.
and of a quality which leaves his au
dience hungering for more. As a
clean, mirthful artist his work leaves
nothing to be desired, as he has ro
superior in his chosetn profession as
a fun maker. Mr. Banow is the pre
mier comedian in Harlow & Wilson’s
Minstrels, which appear at the Star
Theatre Friday, March 16th.
Pastor’s Conference.
In answer to Dr. Simms’ call for a
meeting of tho "astors of the Broad
River Association, eight of them met
last Monday morning and had a pleas
ant time attending to some matters
of interest to the churches.
The* conference will meet every
three months and. in an informal
wav. will talk over and plan for the
work. It is believed the meeting will
prove helpful to the work of the asso-
ci'tion.
Torture By Savages.
“Speaking of the torture to which
some of the savage tribes in the Phil
ippines subject tWeir captives, re
minds me of the intense suffering I en
dured for three months from infiam-
maOion of the Kidney’s,” says W. M.
Sherman, of Cushing, Me., “Nothing
helped me until I tried Electric Bit
ters, three bottles of which complete
ly cured me.” Cures Liver Complaint,

these Shoes at a gaeatly reduced price. We also
have a lot of Shirts, Hats, Ties, etc., which we

to carry the most distinctive line of foot wear in
Gaffney and have bought large shipments of

to make this one of the best exclusive shoe stores
in the State. If fair treatment, high quality of
