“B. B." INVADES A COURTROOM.
Hears
And as Usual. He Sees and
* Wonderful Things.
Gaffney was a city of wrangling
yesterday. Anvone could see it
half an eye. Not that it was domestic
wrangling, or household troubles., but
in this case the trouble was in the
court room of Judge G. W. Speer, a
court of Justice, with Justice spelled
with a big “J." a place where there is
always something doing, where they
dispense Justice and important rul
ings and decisions and hand ’em out
like a groce.-.’man does butter and

icbrus corpus proceedings, about;
which we are trying to tell Ledger;
readers. Hetirv was the star witness,
Trtd he played the s’ar nicely. His
storv was great, with dialect that
would have made Joe Chandler Har
ris. the author of Uncle Remus, and
PUtsv HamiPon turn ‘treen with en

'’out i-'- thiee years ago. leaving for
the West, and had consigned his only
on. Hereklah. to the tender mercies
of Mr. Thomas Clary who was to sup-
’L.- him with his clothes and ‘virtu
es.” in return for his services. All
ran smoothly un il Henry returned
from the West and called for Hexe-
' iah. He^ekiah was not forthcoming,
s Mr. Clary though,- lie should have
nsy for keeping Hezekiah and sup
plying him with clothes and “victu-
ils.” Henry demurred, and habeus
corpus proceedings developed, which
ccourts for this tale. Both claim the

REGISTERED
Mayor’s Court.
, When The Ledger scribe reached
the citv hall vesterday morning and
hastened to the'coyrt chamber to en-
jov the proceedings of the mayor’s
matinee, alwave an interesting part
of the daily programme of the news
gatherer, he was doomed to the bit
terest disappointment. There was
‘ncjthing doing.’’ That expresses it.
There’s nothing more to be said. No
more and no less; the sum total. No
officers nor no mayor erected him.
Not even the iollv city ball cat purred
a greeting. Determined to wake up
something in an effort for news, the
scribe made a determined search for
Tabby, the cat. and located her. thus
having one act of labor performed
during the trip. However, the cat
stood, or rather reclined, as a memo
rial of the rest and suggestive of the
absence of anything doing—she was
asleep. With the cat asleep and no
sign of life about, the newspaper man
hastened awav in search of “other
fields to conquer."

combination secured with FARMERS* BONE, the

balanced food for every stage of plant growth from planting
time till harvesting, and is suited to a great diversity of crops,

The “Betsy Hamilton” Entertainment.
Betsy Hamilton (Mrs. M. V. Moore),
'L lighted a packed house at (he S"ar
H eaire Wednesday evening with one
of her famous “Betsy Hamilton" re
eitaD. A tremendous audience
greeted the gifted entertainer on her
first appearance and apparently none
were disa->pointed and ail left tne
house delighted. As an impersonator
Betsy Hamilton has long been known
and celebrated, and it was the com
mon verdict of the Gaffney audience
(bat in her line she has few, if any
equals.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the ladies of the Meth'
odist church, and was for the purpose
of attempting to raise a mortgage on
the parsonage. A neat sum was real
ized for this laudable object. When
time came for the curtain to go up
the house was comfortably filled and
before the performance had got under
wav it was fiLed to standing room.
Betsy made a great impression on the
audience from the first. She was
gracefully introduced by Rev. S. B.
Harper, pastor of the Buford Street
Methodist church. Every selection in
the programme was received with
great applause, and Betsy held the au
dience in her sway from start to fin
ish. A return engagement wiJ] be well
received by an audience in this citv.
