Tho cotton market in Gaffney yes terday was lb.70. Mrs. A. V. Montgomery is now occu pying her former residence on Petty and Montgomery streets. Mrs. Mont gomery has not resided here for some time, this residence having been oc cupied bv Dr. J. T. Darwin. Dr. J. T. Darwin is now occupying his residence on Race street. Dr. Darwin recently purchased this l ”op- erty from Dr. D. P. Thomson, as a piece of property it is one of the prettiest and most valuable in the city. The day of the State camnaism meeting in Gaffney seems destined to be a great day for the city, as the latest that is announced to occur on that day i 8 a great barbecue. It is announced that it is to be one thor- oughlv un to date and no doubt many will enjoy it. In a fast and exciting game of ball Saturday afternoon a team from the Gaffnev Graded school and one from the Gaffney Manufacturing company crossed bats at Jefferies’ Park. The final score was 3 to 2 in favor of the mill tearm The batteries were: Gra ded School—Thackston and Pryor; Mill—Champion and Buchanan. Work was resumed on Gaffney’s new' well yesterday. A suspension of several davs was necessitated by the supply of rope being exhausted. Four hundred feet of a fresh supply is now on hand and those in charge are now engaged in continued boring. A dis tance of over a hundred feet has been reached and progress made is very satisfactory. The fairv operetta of “Laila,” to be the children Frida- night will be one of the prettiest and most novel of spectacles. Prof. Johnson has been at much expense in provid ing for the artificial lights to be thrown from a steropticon and the beautiful costumes under its glare with all the colors of the rainbow, will bp gorgeous. Prices will be 35c for adults and 2oc for children. While in conversation with ,a Led ger man a few days ago, County Treasurer W. Harry Gooding, who is a candidate for re-electi^” to that office, remarked that his contlitfon physically was such that he was bare ly able to accompany the campaign party and that so far as making anv elaborate remarks at the meetings was concerned that it w-as clearly im possible. He was desirous of The Ledger so stating through its columns in order that his friends might be ac quainted with the state of affairs that exist in regard to this matter. The ladies of the Presbyterian church are preparing to have a flower show this fall. It will remembered how popular these shows have prov en in the past and how disapnointed many were last season on account of thf? fact that this annual attraction could not be given. It would be well for the flower p-rowers of the city to begin to get in readiness for the event. All preparations, of course, are yet to he made. No announce ments in the way of presents or de tails are vet to be secured. These attractions are universally popular and Gaffney always makes them a great success. Few cities in the Stato possess such an arrav of beau tiful flowers or any ladies better able to cultivate them than does Gaffney. Dr. C. A. Jefferies had in his pos session a few davs ago a singular!v beautiful and well made clay pitcher that excited much comment from the group of bystanders at the Cherokee Drug Company w'hen it was exhibited. When the genial doctor exulained that it was composed wholely of Cherokee clay and was made entirek' in Cherokee county it brought forth stil) more comment. He went on to explain that he had run across a flue piece of clay and had sent it to a Cherokee pitcher factory and the handsome jug now in his possession was the result. The conversation then turned to the different drinks that could he enjoyed during this weather from such a pitcher, but when a few such as cold buttermilk were mentioned the discussion was brought to a sudden halt by the ad journment of the party in search of such. Bill Dawkins graced the prisoners bench at city court yesterday morning with a case of disorderly conduct staring him in the face. This did not rattle Bill, however, as he has experienced this honor before. This time he w’as charged with beating his wife on Saturday evening. No body could believe Bill guilty of any such awful thing if they could only see the very pious look that always adorns his countenance, in jail or out. Bill, how'ever, seemed to have few sympathizers yesterday when a sen tence of fifteen or thirty was bestowed upon him. This, when translated, means that Bill was very gently and very considerately asked to contrib ute fifteen simoleons to the treasury of the city or to labor faithfully and well on the streets of the citv for the space of thirty days. Bill will doubt less ponder over this matter carefully before announcing his decision. Woodmen of the World Meeting. There will be an extra meeting of the Woodmen of the World Thurs day night.
