He Lays His Heavy Hand On Gaff
ney Citizens.
Gaffney was shocked Sunday morn
ing to learn of the death of (’apt. W.
H. Richardson, one of our most pro
minent and beloved citizens.
Capt. Richardson was in his usual
health until 9 o’clock Saturday night
when he complained of a pain in his
side. He gradually grew worse and
a few minutes after 11 he breathed
his last. The end came calmly and
peacefully.
Capt. Richardson was born in
tauburg county, and had been
iu Gaffney for last twenty
where he was always found In the
front rank of those who were trying
to do something for the advancement
and betterment of our town.
He was about sixty-nine years of
age, and leaves a devoted wife, two
sons and four daughters, to mourn
their loss. His oldest son. Mr. Isham
\V. Richardson, is in MilledgieviUe,
Ga.. in the cotton business. His
daughter, Mrs. Esthridge, of Atlanta,
is the wife of one of the prominent
attorneys of that city. His other
childien reside in Gaffney.
Capt. Richardson was a gallant
Confederate soldier and *vas wound d
severely during the war by being
shot through the body. He said just
before he died that he was dying
from the effects of tnis old wound.
He was a member of Company D.
Palmetto Sharpshooters.
Capt. Richardson was a quiet, un
assuming Christian gentlman. He
was sincerely loved by all who knew
him. All day Sunday a stream of
people wended their way to the home
to pay their respect to the dead man.
Among them were bankers, mer-
ehats manufacturers, laborers, arti
sans, ladies and little children,
was a great lover of children
they, in turn, loved him.
Capt. Richardson was closelv iden
tified with the business of Gaffnev
until recent years when he retired
from active business on account of
an unfortunate fall from a tree, which
resulted in a broken thigh. When
this occurred he was gathering mis
tletoe with which to decorate the
table for Christmas dinner. He has
been a cripple since the fall, but he
was an energetic man and would not
cease work altogether. Since that
time he had conducted a small farm.
For many years he was the manager
of the Limestone Springs Lime
Works, and afterwards conducted a
wheelwright business.
The funeral took place from the
residence yesterday morning at 11
o’clock and was largely attended.
The pall-hearers were: H. L. Spears,
J. A. Carroll. D. C. Ross. R. M. Wil
kins, J. N. Lipscomb and C. M. Smith.

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas.

Mrs. Thomas was twice married,

Death of Frank Layton.
Mr. Frank Layton, nephew of Mr.
Thos. G. Teal, died at the home of
his uncle Saturday morning at 4:17,
after a lingering illness. May Lay-
ton had been sick for a long time
and for the past nine weeks was con
fined to his bed. For about two years
he has been suffering from a compli
cation of diseases and had been travel
ling around In the hope of recovering
his health. He was but thirty years
of age. He was a native North Caro
linian. but lived 4n this state for some
time. He was unmarried. The fune
ral took place Sunda/ at 3 o’clock,
Rev. G. P. Hamrick conducting. The
interment was at Oakland.
The Mule Matter Settled.
The dispute between Mrs. Jose
phine Robinson and Brool:-s Martin
over a mule traded to Martin by
Hamp Robinson, the husband of Mrs.
Robinson, has been settled. Martin
claims that he did not know the mule
was the property of Mrs. Robinson
when he* traded for It. That may be
true, but It was no sense for Martin’s
effort to hide the mule after he re
ceived that information. G. W. Speer
took out claim and delivery papers
for the mule Friday and Friday after
noon Martin gave up the mule and
paid the cost in both the civial and
criminal cases against him and thus
the matter was ended.
The Ledger’s Free Dolls.
Interest in the doll offer being
made by The Ledger Is growing. The
first doll was! given away Saturday,
and went to the little daughter of Mr.
R. M. Huskey. Several others were
also given away. % Little Miss May
Hamlin brought in a new subscriber
yesterday morning and got a doll.
Miss May says she is going to win the
bl«: doll. Altogether The Ledger re
ceived seventeen new subscribers
Saturday. This did very well for
one day. We still have several hun
dred dolls on hand, but thev are go
ing rapidly. We will try and accom
modate all the little girls even If we
nave to telegraph for more dolls. We
are not going to disappoint anybody.

A SERIES OF LECTURES.
KMWjaaM
Local Professional Men to Encourage
Our Graded Schools.
Believing that an elementary
knowledge of the laws which control
our physical nature, together with a
similar knowledge of the principles
which regulate the body politic,
forms an essential part of secondary
education, arrangements have been
made with resident members of the
legal and medical professions to give
a series of popular lectures to the
higher grades of the city schools.
While these lectures are principally
for the benefit of the pupils the
friends and patrons of the schools
cordially invited to attend. They

liis crop, he receives money, or labor in its most
concentrated form.
It is much more difficult to steal and carry off a
bale of cotton than to get away with its equivalent
in cash.
Therefore it is the farmer's duty to place his
money in a place of absolute security where it
cannot be stolen or destroyed.
Remember how much toil each dollar represents
and care for it accordingly.
Deposit your money in the hank and pay your
hills by check. It is good sense, good business
policy and you can sleep soundly of nights without
lear of being robbed.

HERCHANTS' 10 PLANTERS BANK
GAFFNEY. S.C.
Did Business Without License.
Some time ago The Ledger pub
lished an exposure of a so called loan
company who have headquarters in
Columbia. One of their agents—G.
W. Bowman—was in Gaffney some
time ago, and we understand sold
considerable of his stock. He failed
to pay the license required and got
away before the authorities eot. to
him. Yesterday morning Bowman
was back in town. Ofticer Bert Rall-
man, dressed in citizen close, accost
ed him and asked him to explain his
plan. Hi* began to do so and was
about, to write him an application
when Chief of Police Lickart swoop
ed down on them and placed Bow
man under arrest for doing business
.without a license. Bowman paid $5
fop violating the law and then took
out lincese. His plan may be all
right, but it does not look feasible to
us. Those who do business with his
concern had better look into the
thing.
Deacon Installed.
Messrs Joe S. Robinson and David
Boozer were installed as deacons in
the Limestone Presbyterian church
Sunday morning. The solemn and
impressive ceremony was performed
bv the pastor. Rev. R. T. Liston, as
sisted by the elders. Messrs. Robin
son and. Boozer are two of Gaffney’s
model young men. Botli hold respon
sible ixisitioiis. one with The Battery
and the other with the Gaffney Manu
facturing company. They are zealous
workers in both the Sunday school
and church and their election to the
deaconship attests their worth and
the esteem in which they are held by
the congregation of which they are
members.
Death of an Infant.
The infant of Mr. and Mrs. James
Covie died Saturday night after a
brief Illness. The Ixidy was taken to
El Bethel for interment yesterday
