Weather report for t:)day—rain. Local cotton market yesterday was *>.80. R. M. ttaffnev presented The Led ger with Hie first peaches of the sea son Saturday. The peaches were the acme of perfection, as a matter of course, when it is considered that thev came- from Mr. Gaffney’s farm at Draytonville. A genuine “cooler” was caught near the Irene Mill a few days ago by Wofford Amos, the important feature of the capture being the weight of the “cooter,” it tipping Lie scales at twenty-one pounds. A game of baseball was played at Jefferies Park Saturday afternoon between a team composed of negroes from the surrounding country and those from the city. Tiie game re sulted in favor of the Gaffney team. Notwithstanding the rain which fell during the contest, the game waxed fast and furious. N. M. Johnson is placing material on his splendid piece of property om Limestone street preparatory to the erection of a handsome residence on the property. The location is excel lent and the residence, which will be a modern one in all respects, will make one of the nicest dwellings in the city. Millican’s Minstrels, a colored or- eagisation, appeared under canvas in the city on Friday evening. It was about on a par with the average ne gro tent show. It could hardly be classed as either good, bad or indif ferent. At times the audience was very much bored and at others would exhibit interest. A feature possibly was the dancing of the troupe. J. H. Turner is purchasing ma terial for his new residence on John son street. The residence will be of the new material that is fast grow ing to be an immense favorite for use in dwellings, concrete blocks. This material makes one of the most handsome residences imaginable, and combined with an excellent site, will be a triumph of up-to-date archi- toeture. Peter Graham, a negro man of mid dle age, was before the mav-*- yes terday morning charged with violat ing the dispensary law in lufving un lawfully engaged in selling of liquor. He plead not guilty and a trial was entered into. The case was strong against him and he was adjudged guilty by the mayor, and was fined fifty dollars or thirty days. It is un derstood that the fifly dollars will be forthcoming. The appointment of two new rural routes for Cherokee county necessi tated several changes in the rural carrier forces, as instead of two new men taking the new routes they will be taken by the former carriers of Noe. 5 and 6—Messrs. C. M. Sarratt and F. Garvin. Mr. Sarratt trans fers from N*. 5 to No. 8, and Mr. Garvin from No. 6 to No. 7. Messrs. S. W. Clary and Charles Clary will have the routes formerly held l»y Messrs. Sarratt and Garvin. A strange scene occurred on the streets ef the city Friday. It will be remembered that these columns on last Friday contained an account of one Epps, a negro, having been com mitted to jail charged with bigamy, he having married wife No. 2 in this city while having a previous wife at Pacolet. Tne one having been mar ried in thifc city lives in the country, and her father came to return home with her Friday. She seemed much affected, her screams and cries be ing beard fo- blocks as she was as sisted into the buggy an 1 driven irom the-city. • Han in Marlboro. (Marion Observer.) (There was a destructive hail worm in Marlboro county last Sunday. One of the farmers whose crop was great ly damaged by the hall was insured with The Carolina. Hail Insurance Company of Marion, the loss was reported Wednesday, the claim satis factorily adjusted Thursday, and on yesterday the farmer received his check in full settlement for his lous. The application for this insurance was made only last Saturday, and although the hail came before ft was accepted and the policy actually is- sued, there was no contest made the company on this ground. These facts were given to us by Mr. LaRouqe, the secretary of the compa ny, and he feels croud of the prompt ness with which claims against this company can be met. He says that it is the policy of the company to ad just all losses as promptly as uonsV ble. and that the losses are paid im mediately upon their adjustment —A Trass that does not 'fit is no good.

The Fourth of July—the great an niveraary of the Independence of the United States of America, will be a great day in Gaffney and Cherokee, it is safe to say that not a man. wo man or child in Cherokee county who can come to Gaffney on that date will miss tbe opportunity. Those who are stimulating inter est in the coming events are tireless and in a short while will have all preparations complete with the only requisite for the great day to arrive. As has already been announced. Hon. Joseph McCullough has accepted an invitation to act as orator of the day, and the Sjate holds no fciore flowery or more silvery speaker than he. The fact that he is to be the orator is sufficient in that it insures a splendid address. The other events in the way of races and prizes have yet to be de cided upon, but they will be varied and interesting. Those looking after the ball games for thaf date continue to reserve their decision until they can decide what team will appear to best advantage on the Gaffney field on the Fourth. None but a eood one will be considered and correspond ence with several such has been en tered into with the result that a good team will undoubtedly meet Gaffney. The program for the day will be published as soon as possible. Fam ilies throughout Gaffney and Chero kee have already begun to make ((reparations for their whereabouts on that day. Needless to say all their calculations and figures as to where they will be end at Limestone, enjoying the Fourth with the other hundreds who toav^ arrived there with the same system of calculating as they themselves. DEATH OF MRS. J. T. THACKSTON DAMON AND PYTHIAS. Great Promise of a Finished Pro duction at Theatre Tonight. The advance sale for Damon and Pythias tonight at the Star Theatre opened Monday morning at the Cher okee Drug Company. The tickets are selling rapidly and a full house is an ticipated. It has been decided to re duce the price to fifty cents for re served seats and thirty-five cents gen eral admission. The production is under the aus pices and for the benefit of Lime stone Ixjdge No. 74, Knights of Pyth ias. Mr. D’Olze has been rehearsing the cast for the past week and a fin ished performance will be given. Each member of the cast has ap plied himself with unusual assiduity r.ud enthusiasm. Mr. D'Oize relates an interesting storv of a singular coincidence which occurred while he was playing in the play with Mr. Edwin Ferry some years ago. At the end of the play the three leading characters. Damon, Pythias and Dionysius form a trian gle, which is symbolic of the order of Pythianism, by placing their hands each upon the other’s shoulders. The three parts were played respectively by Messss. Ferry. Collins and Buck ler, whose initials were also the ini- tians of the words “Friendship, Char ity and Benevolence.” which are the principles of the order. Mr. Collins was called home and his place in the cast was taken by Mr. Carroll, who was shortly afterward replaced by Mr. Claxton. so the F. C. B. was pre served throughout the entire season. In reference to the performance given in Columbia with local talent ir> February IS, The State has the following: "The house was filled with Knights and their friends, and the reception of the plav was enthusiastic. “Tiie story of the play, intensely interesting and thrilling, relates the experiences of the two friends. Da mon £fnd Pythias, and vividly por trays their devotion and love for each other. “The performance was in many re spects the most brilliant success ever .achieved by an amateur cast in this city. Every detail was carefully at tended to and the large audience present showed its appreciation by frequent applause and many curtain calls were given. The honors of the evening were divided between' Mr. D’Olze as Damon and Mr. Clark as Pythias The production was staged under the direction of Mr. Edward D'Oize. of Batlimore. and the excel lence of the performance testifies to the care and thoroughness with which he instructed each member of the cast. “The Damon <»f Mr. D’Oize wag ex cellent and his rendition of the most difficult passage showed him to be an artist of marked ability. “Mr. Edward Clark’s Pythias was a splendid impersonation of that dif ficult part, and he has never been seen to better advantage. “Mr. L. S. Mattison, as Dionysius, looked every inch a king; his state ly bearing fitting the role to a nicety. “Miss Velerie D’Oize. who played tb € part of Calanthe, the betrothed of Pythias, on very short notice, gave a splendid performance. "The other members of the cast did their respective parts finely." The cast for tonight is as follows: Damon—Edward D’Oize. Pythias—Ed. B. Clarke. Dionysius—J. C. Otts. Phllistius—Jones J. Darby. Damocles—W. S. Hall, Jr. Pn>cles—H. K. Osborne. Lucullus—Frank Folger. Damon’s Child—Francis Laney. (fiiantbe—Mrs. Edward D’Oize. Hermlon—Mrs. W. H. Gooding.

Thackston, for years a resident of this city, passed away at her home in Spartanburg early Fri day morning. She had been in ill health for some time and for the last few days had been critically ill with indigestion. Her son, Harvey Thacks ton, of this city, was called to her bedside on Wednesday. Mrs. Thackston's death has caused a pang of sorrow in many a home in Gaffney, where she was known as a Christian lady and a kind neighbor. She bad reached tbe age of fifty-six years and had ten children, who sur vive her and mourn their loss. The funeral services were held Saturday morning at Oakland cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of sor rowing relatives and friends. The following children and a de voted husband, J. T.

A NEWSY EETYER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. WANTS CHICKEN SHOW. A Suggestion that Local Poultrymen Give an Exhibition. Editor of The Ledger:—I deeire to offer a suggestion in regard to a ven ture that would undoubtedly be a success. What is to prevent Gaffney from having a chicken show? Why should not such an event be a decided success with such well- known poultry raisers as Mr. E. H. Gaines, Mr. E. R. Cash and Mrs. D. P. Sides in our midst? All of these, and many more, pos sess chickens that would be a credit to anv poultry show. Gaffney, al ready leading all towns of her size in nearly every other respect, should rank with her sister cities In this re spect, too. The effort only needs to be made when it 'WH take form that will be readily pushed to a great suc cess. Steps toward such an end should be started at onee. Every prospect points to Gaffney as an Ideal place for such an event. There must be many In the county interested in this, and exchange of ideas in re gard to the matter would be benefi cial to the cause. All interested should encoarage the idea by word and deed as much as possible. T. C. Petty. NEGRO MUTE KILLED BY TRAIN. Alice Hughes, Colored, Run Over by Freight Train Near Union. Union.

Advertising in this liook has been acknowledged by some of the largest concerns and adver tisers to be unique an.-| to reach a class that no other method will reach. A Merry Company. The operatla to be presented Fri day night under the auspices of the Gaffney Music Club is unusually at- tarctive. the music principally con sisting of extracts from the best com ic operas—“Patience," “Mascotte,” etc., and many of the characters are irresistibly comic. Look out for the three little policemen. The second act from ”11 Trovatore,” to be pre sented in costume, with anvil and or chestral accompaniments. Is expected to be the handsomest stage picture ever presented to a Gaffney audience. Tickets win be placed on sale Wed nesday morning. The Judge and the Lawyer. In an altercation between counsel and the Judge the Judge, after sever al attempts at conciliation, remarked, well, I have done all I can to pro mote peace, but the result reminds me very much of the fable of the old man and the ass.” The counsel, with visible Irritation in his countenance, wished to know ■which of these entities applied to him.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilklnsville, June 8.—We left Gaff ney Wednesday morning and made our way home by Dawkins mill and Gowdeysville. We took dinner with Rev. L. R. Gaines and family. Mr. Gaines (as many of our readers know) is a genius—a first class painter end a workman of the best type. He has an Edison graphophone for which he has made a number of records, which it reproduces with a great degree of perfection. This is something that we thought no one in this county un derstood hut Syd Miller and Burl Os- ment. Syd told us, and we have told our readers how the records are made. But Mr. Gaines has done something extra. He has made anJ tested the work until anyone can readily hear him talking ami he and his wife singing, besides some of .tis children talking and singing. We found our old friend. Bert Por ter, getting the Dawkins mill ready to grind the present crop of wheat. He is giving the wheat mill a complete overhauling. Crops along *he line of travel are much improved since the rains and warm weather set in. There is some grass in places, but as a general thing all the crons, both corn and cot ton, have been very well worked. Wheat is very good; the only com plaint we have to make is that there is not enough of it sown. Mr. F. A. Goforth says it is the best crop that has been raised since 1882—twenty- four years ago. He is cutting his with a harvester, binding it as it is cut. We spent the night with Mr. D. Both Hughes, who. with his excellent wife, made us feel at home. "Both,” of course, expects to be the next county auditor for Cherokee county, hut that cuts no Ice in his entertain ing his friends. His wife is a daugh ter of our old friend Loge Mabry, and she is a splendid little woman, too. We met our old friend R. J. (Dick) Foster, who. of course, while he runs his shop and turns out work of all kinds, is keeping his eye on the sher iff’s office for the next term. He is very much inclined to choose some of his opiAonents for his deputy or dep uties, as thev will doubtless make better officers than those who at present feel less concerned for the welfare of the office for the next four years. "Dick’ has made a fine study along this line and all he now wants is an opportunity to carry out his plans. This correspondent would not dare to »se this' pleasantry if he didn’t know the aspirants for that office would join Dick in his fun. They are all gentlemen who will not sour over it. Dick will doubtless in ject a lot of fun into the campaign when it opens. And the candidates for coroner will have a match for Dick Foster in the presence of John O. Tate, who lias *>rt one or more oc casions aeted clown for the county circus. Joe Reynolds says John O. Tate is tiie only one he fears in the coroner’s race, .and he doesn’t fear him much. So far in looking over the list of candidates announced we find a set of royal good fellows. Those riling, bilious demagogues (if we are to have any of that stripe> haven't come out yet. and we hope the county will be saved the mortifi cation such will bring upon it for this time at least. As we gather dots from the prog ress of the campaign that are admis sible in a first class papqn we will give them to our readers, and we hope they will be read in the same spirit in which we will write. We are toting nobody's skillet—we want that distinctly understood. Yesterday we met our old friend Jesse J. Mabry, who is now nearing tin ninetieth milestone in life's jour ney. Yet he is still able to get al>out with ease for one of that advanced age. Uncle Jesse has been an ac tive man all his life. With few ex ceptions he has been a man of peace with his neighbors, never taking part in the difficulties of others except to protect the weak against the strong. He has the consciousness of having dene his duty to his fellowman in so far as he was aware of it. We mentioned Mr. 8. M. Wood, of Spartanburg, in our last letter. He is running a private boarding House in that city and gets a libera! share of patronage. He is a Union county man and has been making his home in the Spartan city for thirteen years. His wife was a Miss Palmer, of Un ion county. For several years she has 1>een In bad health and has sev eral times be<-n reported dead. Mr. Wood owns a large tract of land near Thickety mountain. In this coun ty. which he expects to convert Into a sheep raising farm. It’s nearly all In woods and he expects to stock it with the best wool-bearing species he can find. We wish him much suc cess In his undertaking, which will add so much to the prosperity of our county. It’» disgusting to hear some peo ple (agricultural deniiigogues) expa tiating on the agricultural outlook of our country, who kbow as little about what real farming\is as a cat does about mathematics. \hey think they are cities set upon Ahill that everybody ought to listen to and take their advice. We Avould be glad if some of the non-tenchables would go up and see how Hon. Ed. Archer, of Spartanburg, manages his farm and they will learn something thev never knew. Mr. Archer is an educated farmer who concentrates brains, brawn and elbow grease, and his crop is there to show results. We hive seen the wheat fields of Pennsylvania. Maryland. Virginia and East Tennessee, all at their best, and they did not surpass those of which w e speik. In 1861 the late James McKown, who was overseeing for Mrs. Dr. Wright, raised 105 bush els of wheat on two acres of land, where Mr. Bob Brown’s house now stands. This was the best wheat raising ever reported in this section. Mr. James W. Smarr and Miss Lot tie Inman were happily married by Rev. Robert Todd Liston at the home of the bride list Thursday, at -2.30 o clock. The wedding was a quiet one. only a few friends of the con tracting parties being present to wit ness the nuptials. Mr. Smarr is one of York county's most energetic and respectable young men, and the bride is the daughter of -Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Inman, of this place. Miss Inman counts her friends and admirers by the score. That, heaven’s richest blessings may crown their pathway tl orugh life is our wish. We took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. F. B. McCulloch today. They expect :o have a family reunion on the 4th of July, which, for the parties con- cerne l, will doubtless be a joyful oc casion. Mr. William G. Fowler if? slowly recovering from his long spell of sick ness. He ;ias been in bed for eight weeks. The thermometer registers 100 de grees in the shade and it’s telling on the cotton that was so seriously set back by the late cold spell. Farmers are cutting their wheat. We hear some little talk of rust and smut but it is not serious that w r e know of. Frequent showers of rain would suit farmers exactly for the next few w’eeks. , We shall expect some one to fur nish The Ledger with a cotton bloom next week. Who will be the first? Mr. T. B. McCulloch has been cut ting hay this season, and he can get sale for all he can furnish. We are going to have a short crop of fruit this year. Nearly all of it has been damaged and some Is a complete failure. What we have seen is badly diamaged by insects and cold weather. The watermelon crop will be late. Some have just planted. Capt. John T. Parker, of Waco, Texas, is still on a visit to this sec tion. He is with the family of his sister, Mrs. Dr. McCluney. .V L. 8. WILD RUMORS WERE FALS£. Raj n Prevents Game. The baseball team of this city did not play Spartanburg on Saturday afternoon, as was intended, on ac count of severe rain, both in Gaffney and Spartanburg, which made play impracticable. Preparations for a suitable ground in the city continue to be reported favorably and it is the opinion of those in a position to know that something will develop on that line in a day or two. Corres- pondence is now being carried on with a number of fast aggregations tor games with Gaffney in the near future. The definate dates will be announced in a few days. It is still undecided what team will play i n this city on the fourth of July. Several teams are in correspondence rela tive to that date but a definite de cision is still lacking as to who will meet Gaffney on the diamond «n the great and gtydoug Fourth. Wait For Hunger Good Advice from Gaffney Drug Co. as to How to Create an Appetite. Any physician win tell you that it is unwise to eat unless one is really hungry. It is far better to miss a meal than io eat without appetite, But do not take a tonic, stimulant, or appetizer to make you hungry. Gaffney Drug Co. says th,at the best way to create an appetite is to restore the digestion to health by the use cf Mi-o-na stomach tablets, a reliable remedy that they have, with the best of satisfaction. When Mi-o-na is used, the irritation and indammation of the stomach coating wll be soothed, the gastric follicles will be strengthened so that they will pour out the natural digest ive fluids with regularity, and the food you eat will be perfectly digest ed without distress. All headaches, sleeplessness, specks before th*> eyes, poor appetite, tired feelings, nervous ness, backaches, and other troubles caused by a poor digestion will soon disappear and you will feel well all over. A large box of Ml-o-na stomach tab lets is sold for 50 cents 4>y Gaffney Drug Co., and It is so successful and reliable In curing indigestion and other stomach troubles, with the ex ception of cancer of the stomach, that they sell it under a guarantee that the money will be refunded unless It does all that is claimed for It. If you have any stomach weakness, hel-e h an opportunitv to b P cured without risking a cent yourself. When the baby talks, it is time to give Hollister’s Rocky Moutain Tea.

This Negro Had Not Been Attacked With Hydrophobia. The old saying, “Much ado aijout nothing,” has been explifled in Chei> okee county within the last few days. A negro—Wash Ross—was bitten, or rather slightly scratched, by a mad dog in an effort to fasten his teeth in his flesh about a month ago. It seems, however, that the wound was not of sufficient importance to cause the negro to cease his work. Strange as it may seem. Dame Rumor suc ceeded in circulating a report that was generally given credence and helped on bv the masses, that this negro had, after the expiration of a month, gone suddenly mad ami. suf fering from an attack of rabbles, was roaming about the country seeking something or someone to destroy. Another current rumor was'that a ■ possee was engaged in searching for him and that he was skkillffilly elud ing them and avoiding capture; that he had been in confinement prior to his dash for liberty and that hrs es cape from his guards and prison was almost miraculous. The persistency with which these highly sensational reports Roared around throughout this city and the, county generally alarmed many and a number, perhaps, began to think twice before strolling from the safe ty of their domiciles after nightfall. A Ledger reporter finally became (, aware of the tales that were being believed and began an investigation, 4 but was unable to see that there was anv truth io them or any tangible reason apparent that could have started them. The climax was reached, however, on Saturday af ternoon. While the newspaper repre sentative was proceeding with the In vestigation he saw a tall negro ap proaching and was very much sur prised to hear some one near remark that the man was the very same one who had been so suddenly thrust into prominence, which was by no means . desirable. On learning that, this was the man who can be rightly termed ,> a celebrity he was questioned and he readily disclosed the true facts which meagre. He denounched the rumors as absolutely without foundation, as he relates that the dog did not bite him but merely scratched him slight ly. breaking the skin with his teeth. He tells th/at he threw him off and came to the city to,see a physician and since that time has regularly en gaged in work. He was amused at the stories as to his wandering troughout the country and creating havoc and leaving destruction in his wake. ( 1 ’ q J KILLED AN UNKNOWN NEGRO. Negro Shot by C. E. Teag»*e and In stantly Killed. Spartanburg, June 9-—An unknown negro man was killed this afternocl at East Spartanburg by C. E. Teagiie, a contractor. Late thfs afternoon Teague and the negro became involv ed in a difficult*- over 75 cents which the negro claimed was due him. Dur ing the dispute the negro attempted y to draw a pistol, but Teague, being the quicker of the two. jrew his pis tol and shot the negro through the head, death resulting immediately. The killing took place on tne line of the street railway to Clifton some lit tle distance down the track. Young Mr. Teague is a son of Mu. A. N. Teague, of Columbia, formerly of Newberry. He was engaged in grading out sidetracks for the South ern at East Spartanburg. The voting man bears a good reputation. He will surrender. DEATH CAME WHILE SPEAKING. Mrs. George H. Atkinson Dies Sud denly jn Asheville. Asheville, N. C., June 9.—A gloom was cast over the 300 delegaff.es here attending the V2th annual Southern c<<nference of the Y. YV. C.

While making an ad dress at the opening exercises last night Mrs. Atkinson was attacked with heart failure and never regained consciousness.
