BECAUSE it is a home company—officered by home people of known integrity. BECAUSE it proposes to furnish Life Insurance at cost and keep the pre miums here in the South—to aid in the upbuilding of the South. If you are patriotic, this should appeal to you. BECAUSE its Policies have a TOTAL and PERMANENT DISABILITY feature, which the Policies of most other companies do not have. I BEBAUSE its “Class B” Policies have an OLD AGE DISABILITY feature which most others do not have. : I BECAUSE its premiums are calculated upon a basis that is deemed ample ^ to pay losses and yet not become burdensome to the'policy holder. L I Here are some more comments on the Hawthorne Musical Club, which closes the Star Course at the Star Theatre Friday night: “The program was a splendid in novation. The members gave some striking impersonations of men Pro minent In national affairs.’’—Boston (Mass.) Herald. “The concert was a grand success. All the numbers were excellently ren dered. but the descriptive piece, ‘The Countv Fair,’ brought, down the house.”—Bay View (Mich.) Chautau- Ovi.. “This up-to-date musical organiza tion is one of the best that has yet appeared before a Braddock audience. All the numbers were executed in a faultless manner.—Braddock- (Pa.) “The entertainment was easily the best of the season. It. is a matter of regret that such a first-class orga nization could not have been secured for the entire week.—Newburyport (Mass.) News. “The concert given by th^ Haw thorne Musical Club was one of the best ever given in the auditorium at the park. Each member of the corn- party Is an artist and a program Is pre sented to the audience that is unique and clever.”—Mt. Vernon (O.) Chau tauqua. HOOT MONI A Good Start. The books of subscription to the stock of the Peoples’ Building and Loan Association were onened at the Merchants and Planters Bank a week ago yesterday. About two hundred and seventy-five shares have been subscribed to so far. This is a good •'owing but the promotors hone to have at least 500 shares sold before they begin operations. This associa- ■"rill extend over the entire coun tv and it is predicted that it will add much to the general business of the county, as well as the beauty of the same by enabling farmers to borrow monev with which to improve their homes.

Incidents of the war with Spain were being related the other evening at a seassion the Soldiers’ Union of the First Congregational church, when Isaac N. Dolph, who saw serv ice op the high seas in 1898 under the command of Capt. SIgsbee on the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, related a story as told by a son of Erin who was on the ill-fated battleship Maine when it was blows up. The Irishman, who was ratgfl as one of the best sailorman of the crew of the Maine, was requested to relate his thrilling experience at the time of the explos ion In Havana harbor. He was be fore an audience, and advancing to the front of the stage he bowed low and in a faltering voice said: “Fri’nds. it were thus way: I w r ere asleep below in me bunk little dream- in’ what were goin’ ter happen. Tlmre were a hill ov a ni'se, as’ whin I wak- e) up the nurse said. ‘Sit up. Pat. an’ take this.’ holdin’ a spoon forninst me face.’’ One of the suburbs of Chicago is the site of a well known school of theology from which go out each week-end manv members of the senior class to trv their voices as “supplies.” A passenger on a Mon day morning train was suprised at the number of them who got off at the station. "What are all of those chaps getting off here?” he asked the brakeman. "Them?” asked the brakeman. “Oh they’re returned empties for the college.” List of Unclaimed Letters.

The Clansman on Wednesday and the announcement of the coming of "The Kilties,” the fa mous Scotch-Canadian military band, on Thursday afternoon the 11th. Gaff ney is not at the present suffering from a dearth of high-grade attract ions. “The Kilties” scarcely need an introduction.to the public. Ever since they blew into the St Louis exposi tion as Canada’s representative crack military band like a breeze from “Auld Scotia” itself, they have de li ^'n tod and charmed audiences not only In England. Scotland, Wales and Canada, but in the Uited States and Old Mexico as well. They were twice commanded by King Edward, have played before many European royal ties and hold the record for the larg est audiences in Europe and America as well, opening the season in Crys tal Palace London, to 176,000 people. In Philadephia at Willow Grove Park on the last day of their engagement they drew 160,000 people to their pei> formance. and in the White City, Chicago, in the past summer 130,000 people passed the toll gates in one day. The reason for the unprecedented popularity of “The Kilties” perhaps lies in the fact that their concerts are entertainments, refreshingly no vel and decidedly “kiltiesque ” Not only do they give a first class band concert of classic and popular music, but with their genuine Scotch p’oes, their imported Highland dancers, their British military buglars, their vocal choir, their giant seven-foot two inch drum major and wlthall their picturesque Highland uniform, the - produce an appearance and In troduce features that have never be fore been seen in this country. Aside from their breezy music, those who have never seen the Scotch reel, the Highland fling, the shean Trews, tla sailor’s hornpipe, the historic sword da^-e as danced in the Highlands of Scotland after victory in battle, have ap unusual treat coming, and no doubt all who possibly can will ava}J themselves on Thursday afternoon of the opportunity to hear and see this famous band which the bureau of music at the St. Louis exposition pro nounced the best band from several hundred that visited the great fair. “The Kilties” are coming through Gaffney on their way to the James town exposition and will give one performance on Tursdav afternoon at the Star Theatre. By special request a military pa rade will be given immediately upon their arrival headed bv Donald Mao Connack the famous giant drum ma jor of "The Kilties.” Altogether it will bp a "bonnie dee” Indeed when the ladles in short kilts and bars knees and king’s scalet march through town to the drowning of the bagples and the blass of the bugles to remind us in music and song of the land of "Annie Laurie” and "Sweet Bessie, the Maind of Dundee.” In writing the local manager Mr. George F. Schutes, the advance agent, says: “Wp will have the entire band with all its specialties in Gaffney and will give vou as good a perfvniance as if we had a thousand dollar engage ment.” Star Theatre IK""!.
