FOR ALL COU* TY NEWS, IM PORT ANT HAPPENING* IN THE STATE AND EVENTS OF INTEREST • N FOREIGN LANDS, TAKE AND A Narrow Two unknown pr names could not th~ reporter had a Escape. ntlemen whose he ascertained by narrow as well as startling escape from what seemed sure death, while driving in the di rection of Gaffney on Saturday after noon. While driving at a rapid rate, on turning a sharp curve, thejr ran into an automobile going in the oppo site direction. The horse became frightened and besran to run. It wheeled in an attempt to turn aroun and in so doing overturned the bug gy, throwing both men out into the mid and under the ( verturned top. In this position they were carried a short distance until the animal left the road and went into the thick woods that fringed the road. Then it was that the ton of the buggy struck' a tree and was broken, free ing the men from their unnleasant nosition. The horse ran on and suc- cped°d in prizing himself between two short sipplings where the driver | of the automobile and neighbors who had arrived on the scene, had great | difficulty in getting it out. Both oc- | cupants were shaken up rather rough- I ly and sustained a few bruises. They j were able, however, to continue their J jorney to Gaffney where they suc ceeded in having their buggy repair- j ed It is most wonderful that no fatilities atten the accident. s c CUES WHERE ALL ELS FAuS. | Best Coutcb Syrup.

NOT MUSHROOM oiv u11rc o r11ur ha.ivi> i r is A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN BUSINESS The figures below, taken from our books, are the best illustration we can give of the confidence the people place in our institu tion. We conceived the idea of a Savings Bank for Gaffney in 1902, and in February, 1903 the business was inaugurated. The detailed statement of the deposits shows the wisdom of the idea. * Aug. 1,1903 ..... $19,047.89 Aug. 1, 1904 $38,081.38 Aug. 1,1905 - $66,227.60 Aug. 1, 1906 $ 102,494.61 It will be obsenred that each succeeding year shows the deposits to be almost double what they were the previous year, until now the deposits are five times greater than they were at the beginning. .. f r ?* no * fl ras P*°fl» b ut we want more business; we want your business. We believe in the progressive idea of doing things. You can ind no better way of taking care of your money than by intrusting it to our care, for we are not only prepared to take care of it for you and pro tect you from fire, flood and thieves, but we make it to your interest by paying you a compounded interest quarterly. The careful and safe business methods observed by us are not alone for our benefit but for yours as well. Why place money in insecure places about the house where burglars and fire and flood are liable to destroy and where it has no earning capacity, when it could just as well be placed in a safe and sane institution where it would be earning something every day ? The old methods are obsolete. Let us serve you. Our inter-periods are April 1st, July 1st, October 1st and January 1st of each year. THE GAFFNEY SAVINGS BANK O AUUIVUY, C. D. C. ROSS, President. J.
