ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Younq Man Tries to Ki|| Himself at
Hotel.
The Commercial Hotel on early
Sunday morning was certainly sufl-
cientiv exciting enough to satisfy the
most exciting. N. M. Hippy and wife
who will be remembered as the couple
causing such excitement a few days
a ,r o at the Southern passenger station
when the hushJHid was alleged to be
running away from his wife and she
narrowly escaped death while attempt"
ing to catch the train. This man and
his wife arrived in Gaffney Sunday
morning on No. 35 and took a room at
the Commercial Hotel. Shortl after
ho took the room a policeman was at
tractod by the screams of the woman.
He ran upstairs and just as he reach-
the room the noise of a shot be
ing hear I. ile rushed into the room
in time to prey *nt the man from leap
ing from the window. His wife was
greatly excited and seemed at a loss
is to what to do. The man was taken
into custody and spent the night in
the city prison, although be was re
leased Sunday morning on a cash
bond. He failed to appear at, the
court chamber yesterday morning for
trial, thereby forfeting his bond. The
facts of the cas,* are meagre. The
coup e are from Shelby. X. C.. where
the man was employed as a drayman.

His Funeral Held at Hi s Home Satur
day Afternoon.
Tuttle Montie Curry, who was so
fearfully hurt at his father’s brick
yard on Thursday, was unable to sus
tain the awful injuries and quietly
Hissed away on Friday morning. The
funeral services were held at the resi
dent* of his father. Mr. J. H. Curry,
on Saturday morning at 10:30. The
floral tributes were many and beauti-
fn 1 while a steady steeam of sympa
thetic and kind neighbors flocked to
thr home to administer their aid to
the bereaved family. The services
were conducted by Rev. S. B. Harper,
pastor of the Buford Street Methodist
church and his words were of great
help to the stricken family. He refer
red to the change in the young boy
just previous to the accident and how
he had been striving recently to do
better and nobler things throughout
the rest of his life. The services
were attended by a large number of
loving neighbors and relatives.
Montie was only eleven years of
age and his death is a great .shock
to the entire community. Sympathy
fo- the sorrowing fiamilv is universal.
The remains were intered at Oakland
cemetery where the last sad rights
were viewed by a large number. The
burial service here, which was con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Harper, was
singularly sw r eet and touching. The
pallbearers were: Messrs. W. F.
Smith. R. C. Jones. Claud SjKirks. Al
bert, Kirby, Charles H. Austell and

Z A MERRY MORNING J
WITH THE MAYOR 3
TkUIUUUUUliUUUUiUJlUUf*
The two star actors in the mayor’s
stirring drama yesterday morning
were Jerry Golding and Nat Walltow-
or. both t qpnsgressors of color. Wall-
tower. It develops, was also known as
Curfis from association with a past
president of Limestone College. Gold
ing wa: registered (on the docket of
eases) as J. Golding and the words
aft-'- thi imnrossive name formed pet
it larceny. Golding was charged with
stealing a pint of whiskey from Chas.
Dowd’e, a well-known character of the
city. Golding could explain how he
got the booze all right and his honor
naid him the compliment of describing
him a an artist in swearing To e-et
slangy, he was a very slick article.
He was aide to swear verv forcibly
that none of the accusations Charles
ha* 1 sworn to were really of anv mo
ment. Charles, however, played his
trump card when he produced a wit
ness to back him in a disputed instance.
With the odds two to one, Golding
vu"- wisely, no doubt, said no more.
He was fined $lf> or twenty days.
The n«'Xt case was one with Nathan
iel Wall lower or Curtis as the nriso-
ncr at the bar. A very antiquated
specimen of a revolver tied with a
string was produced against Nat. and
he was confronted with a charge of
carrying concealed weapons. Wall-
tower was an old man who appeared
to he a peaceable citizen and the
charge against him disturbed him very
much. He was very vehement in his
declaration as to ignorance of the
law. He stated that to his certain
knowledge the weapon could not he
persuaded to fire at anything. He
secured it for debt and was in hopes of
having it flx<‘d. He was fined Sib and
forfeited his weapon. This was re
garded by him as eminently fitting, as
it has cost him no end of trouble.
A Rural Directory.
The Ledger has recieved from the
Directories Publishing Corporation, of
Norfolk, Va., a copy of the Rural Di
rectory covering Western South Caro
lina. which includes a number of peo
pie living on rural free delivery
routes in the vicinity of Gaffney. The
company has been working on this
book for several months, and the re
suits are shown in both the tyuogra
nhical appearance of the book and the
large number of names secured.
This is one of the three South Caro
lina directories that the Norfolk com
pany has published. The book carries
considerable local advertising and is
of undoubted value as a comprehen
sive mailing list covering this section.
We are advised that only a limited
number of cloth bound copies have
been published. These can be pur
chased directly from the main office
it. Norfolk. Va.
A Card of Thanks,
Dear Mr. Editor:
1 wish to thank the dear good peo
ple of Gaffney for all their kindness
to me in'the sad hour I was forced to
part with my hoy. just as his youthful
years were touching the morning of
manhood. Memory carries me back
to the morning when he came to me
an orphan aad looked up in mv face
and said he wanted to live with Mr.
Parish. God bless his dear soul: I
loved him more than he ever knew,
but I have done my best for the or
phan—angels could do no more.
C. G. Parish.
