Candidates on the streets of the

Pondfleld, barbecue and heaps of vot
ers was a congloremation none could

> PISO’S CURE TJDR
“Nothing doing.” This short but
forceful sentence takes in the mayor’s
court of yesterday morning in every
detail. The reporter could see from
afar that a hopeful plodding through
rain ■and mud was to no avail so far
as concerning a merrv morning with
the mayor. The weather at the hour
for court was dismal and the interior
of the court chamber was lonesome
as well as dismal and bleak, hence
the reporter tarried hut a very short
while in the precincts of justice.
Limestone street just below the
postoffice was an exciting througho-
fare yesterday about noon. A horse
and wagon, the property of J. VV. Ab
bott. the furniture man. wis the chief
cause for excitement with the horse
verv much in evidence. Gaffney has
not had a runaway for some time and
naturally this one caused no little
excitement. The runaway happily
was not accompanied by any unfor
tunate accidents, although one was
narrowly averted, viz, a naan being
run down by the speeding horse. The
horse ran as far as the corner of O.
S. Kendrick's store when it turned
and was soon stopped.
Ai incident causing not a little ex
citement occurred on tho streets of
Gaffney when a tarantula, the most
poisonous species of the spider, was
captured on Limestone street. The
gentleman effecting the capture pre
sented his capture to Mr. Floyd L.
Biker, of The "B. B.” Store, who
biased it in a fruit jar and was ex
hibiting it to his friends. These in
sects are forei or n to Gaffney and this
one evidently found its way into the
city by being brought in among some
fruit, as it was discovered in front
e f the fruit store of S. It. Suber. It
measured five and a quarter inches
from tip to tip, and gentlemen in
the crowd who have r sided in Texas
took occasion to remark that this was
apparently ,a baby!
