The Dailey Quartette at Limestone College. The Dailey Quartette of Philadel phia, a famous concert company will be the attraction in the Limestone College auditorium this evening. This attraction will be the first musi cal attraction of the year in the city and music lovers of the city will no doubt flock in numbers to the college. Prof. Harold Loring. musical direc tor of Limestone College, speaks of the entertainment in glowing terms and the following in wgard to the performers and their program will give an idea of the excellence of the music to be furnished; Prof. J. D. Dailey, manager and basso of quartette, is a composer, j author and soloist of national reputa- | tion. whose P<»-nis and musical com- S positions, both vocal and instrumen- | tal, are heard in all States and abroad. As a teacher none excells, rs a chorus director few' equal. Miss Margaret E. Dailey has a clear | soprano voice of wonderously wide range. Sympathetic, yet strikingly forceful in bravura passage. A cor- i root and pleasing style and fine per sonal appearance combine to make her work highly enjoyable. Mr. W. Carlyle Dailey, the tenor, j lias a voice of marvelous compass • and goodly fullness. The ease and j accuracy with which he renders that difficult solo from Opera Carman | "The Toreador.” and the Aria from ; Elijah, "If With all Your Hearts,” ; shows culture of a high degree. Miss Susie .To.s"phine Dailey lias a splendidly cultivated contralto voice' of rare beamy, and sings delightfully. She is also the pianiste of the quar- t'-tte. Her repertoire includes selee- ■ ions from Beethoven, Bach, Reuhen- toin, Chopin. Mozart, Greig. McDow- i H and Chaminade. Her solo playing <!i plays fine technique, combined v a a sense of delicacy and refined 'I II'' following is a specimen pro- l!o< i , T Ages. . . .

The various milli nery shops have had their display of Fall and Winter hats and hundreds of ladies of the city and countv have inspected and tried on countless times the different hats. The weather has been somewhat In clement but most of the ladles have managed to get out to the various openings. And now and then could he seen some poor man being dragged in to see the particular hat admired bv his better half, and he, of course, had to go into raptures and say he admired it, when, to tell the truth, he didn’t know the front from the hack’ and whether it was becoming or not. A man in a millinery shop surrounded by a horde of women all talking hats at the same time feels mighty like thirty cents—and he will sure enough | feel like thirty cents when the first of j the month rolls ’round again. The principle hats shown this sea- \ son are the cute little Peter Pan, the Mushroom shape, the Romeo shape, j the Gainesborough, and the Gage hats, j and the leading colors are brown, red j and grey. Black .and white are shown j very strong also. Very large “cab bage” roses, sweeping plumes, cope feathers and grapes seem to be the I favorite decorations. Mrs. W. X. Austell had her hats on | display Monday -'vening, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. Austell. Mrs. Tur ner and Miss Bertha Austell had ar- | Notes from Grindal. Grindall. Oct. 2.—Since writing our last letter to The Ledger we have seen a rare old piece of china, which is about a hundred and forty or fifty years old. which we will write up later. This piece—a saucer—belongs to Miss Fannie Littlejohn, of Asbury, and is an heirloom, and has an inter esting history. Doubtless this is the oldest piece of clUna In Cherokee county. Although it Is rather late to do so, w e wish to extend to Mr. Tom Wood’s family our heartfelt sympathy. The noblest example of Mr. Wood’s life is th'* * * fine family he leaves behind. We know them all well, having gone to school with them, from the eldest to the youngest, and if at at any time during the time we have know them any one of them ever wounded our feelings we have no recollection of it. We had the pleasure of attending the services at Elbethel Sunday. We didn’t go prepared to spend the dav hut through the hospitality of Mrs. D. B. Hughes, of Gowdoysvilie. and Mrs. John Foster, of Asbury, we fared sumptousiy at dinner, thus being able to remain and enjoy the discourse by Rev. Dr. Simms, of Gaffney. But the day was not destined to close for us without an accident. On returning home and just after crossing Mud Ford bridge, our mule, which had been chaffing with impatience, be-1 came enraged at a fly and for a few moments fairly kicked things black [ and blue and w-ell nigh scared us out i of our wits. Well, one never knows ie- many friends he lias until some- CIDER UNDER THE BAN. Charlotte Council Puts Prohibition Tax on These Drinks. Charlotte, N.

S Sease, Gover nor Heyward today offered a reward of .$75 for Harriet Hoburn. alias Har riet Poburn, to be produced as a State's witness in the Spartanburg case of the State vs. Ollie Ponder and Lum West, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. The solicitor says in his letter to Governor Heyward: “The woman was last heard of in Lancaster county. We tried the case last week, but made a mistrial. If we get this woman we can get a con viction. This woman has been fright ened away. Our deputy sheriff talked with a man in Lancaster county who heard the woman sav that Ponder and West had shot at her and threatened to kill her if she did not leave. I think this case should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.” ; at 1 ractIV’ ness. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are the days for W. C. Carpenter’s hat i display.

Oct. 2.—The opening of I the new Hampton avenue Methodist church was celebrated tonight with j what was called a first birthday ser- | vice. After six years of earnest work this little band of Christians, which has within recent times grown into n self-sustaining, vigorous congrega tion. realized its fondest dream. It met together and worshipped under its own roof and within the walls of a handsome little church building, modern in all its appointments. The celebration tonight was pre sided over by the pastor, Rev. Archie E. Rriggers. By special invitation, Rev. J. W. Spoake, of Charleston, was present and took part in the exercis es. The church has been erected and furnished at a cost of $7,000 The membership of the church has in creased during the past year from 100 to 100. more than a certain price by the pound. Give ’em bone; that's right; give ’em plenty of bone! There are people who won't pay more than $1.50 a gallon for paint; give ’em bone! * There’s no better school than f, x- perience; cost Is high; but the les- ! son is never forgotten. Let a man paint two houses alike, same size; one Dovoe. the other that $1.50 paint. He buys 10 gallons of each, and pays $3 a day for labor—$3 a gallon, easier reckoning. He has to buy two gallons more of the $1.50 paint; and has two gallons left of Devoe: 12 gallons $1.50. $18; 18 gallons $1.73, $14; $i more for “cheap” painf. He pays $3 a gallon for painting: 18 gallons $21; 12 gallons $30; $12 j more for painting "cheap” paint, j He’ll buy the less-gallons paint af ter that.
