Protection at Cost Against Death, Old
Age and Total and Permanent Disability.
Gaffney, S. C., April 22nd, 1907.
Dear Sir:—
Have you sufficient protection for your family in case of accident
or death ? If not, let us write you a policy that will insure you against
and 7o/a/ and Permanent Disability—a\*o another that will insure
you against Death, Total and Permanent Disability and Old Age Disability.
The cost will be so small that you will never feel it. We have had only one
death claim since our organization last August, yet our members have had
protection all the time. You can not find a safer or more sound insurance.
Its plans are sound, it is managed by men whom you know to lie honest,
upright, successful, business men; and only strong and healthy men and
women between the ages of 12 and 50 are admitted. We would like to write
you at once, while you may be able to stand the examination for you will
not alwajs feel as well as you do today. Kindly favor us with an early re
ply or call at our office over the Merchants & Planters Bank and we shall be
glad to serve jou. With best wishes for yourself and yours, we are,
Yours very truly,

“M v Wife's Family.”
It Is seldom that a nlav meets with
the universal endorsement of man
agers. theatre-goers and the Press in
general on Its Initial production, but
an exception last season was that of
“'MV Wife’s Family,” the combined
efforts of two progressive and well
known players. Hal Stephens and
Harry Union. This merrv laugh pro
ducer was an instantaneous hit play
ing return dates in many cities by
special requests.
It. is in three acts filled with catchy
musical numbers of original theme,
while the comedy lines are all bright
and new containing none of the
hackneyed kind.
The company presenting the com
edy. interpreting the three acts of
fun and music, it is one of the best
entour. while the co turning stage,
setting, ei-virical and mechanical
effects are correct in detail. There
are two dozen musical numbers, all
of the whistling order, to be heard in
“Mv Wife’s Family.” which will he
presented here at the Star Theatre
next Thursday night.
Revival Services.
The crowds that have attended the
services in the First Baptist church
to hear Rev. T. T. Martin expound
the Bible, bear evidence of the power
♦ here is in the clear presentation of
the word of God. Every night the
house has been full. On Saturday
night, a time when most people are
busy, the house was packed to hear
him talk on “When the lights go ou*
on the road to hkli.’*
On Sunday the house would not
hold he people—many had to go
away.
His preaching is that of & man who
is thoroughly conversant with the
Bible and with general literature and
when he takes a position he proves
it. He has a fund of illu^traions
that is apt and sometimes very
touching. The people of Gaffney, re
gardless of church connection, have
been attending and we believe from
what we hear business men of the
town say. that the teacW-'" of Mr
Martin is enjoyed bv the thinking
people of the town and that more
thinking and talking is being done
by our people than has been known
in Gaffney.
The interest manifested, so far.
has been among men and women, the
c.ass of our people w f ho are moulding
our life and to wlioni the town will
have to look for future strength and
well being.
We hope the good work mav go on.
f*'- It is of a kind that men apd wo
men can appreciate and that makes
for honest conviction and purltv of
life. While it was announced on Sun
day that Mr. Martin would probably
leave on Thursday night It is now
hoped that he can stav over Sunday,
but of this, announcement will be
made later.
A number of men and ladies have
made a confession of faith in Jesus
Christ as their I»rd and Savior,
while others, who w»-re church mem-
hers, have had doubts removed.
There is no pressure put on people,
hut they have the wav of life and
are urged to accept Christ.

Gaffney Should Get Busy.
Neighboring cities are preparing
strenuously for a base hall campaign
this summer, but as yet nothing has
been done in Gaffnev for anv base
ball, even in a mild form. Although
league base ball Is Impossible, still It
is easy if the neccessarv amount of
interest is shown to have some excit
ing and hotly contested games be
tween Gaffnev and neighboring towns.
The interest wrmld be greatly added
to bv the fact that it is local and the
great rivalry existing In everything
is greatly added to In base ball.
Steps should be taken to perfect sopie
organization, to arrange some ama
teur games, and secure the interest
of those able to make a team from
this city a formidable one. And the
summer days, almost upon us. are
long indeed without any amusements
within the city. The materigj. for the
team* and the interest to back it both
exist and the necessary thing lacking
is the man behind the gun.
Gone to Lockhart.
Mr. Wlill Anderson, the efficient
Ixvokkeeper at the Gaffney Manufac
turing company, has given up his posi
tion there to take a position with the
Lockhart Shoals mill. Mr. Anderson
left weeb before last for his new
home. Mr. Anderson came here from
Blacksburg and won many friends
here by his gentlemanly deportment.
He is succeeded at the Gaffnev Manu
facturing company by Mr. Stanyarne
Little, who has for some time been
bookkeeper at the Company store.
Mr. Little is a good man and an effi
cient bookkeeper.
Schools Have Joint Picnic.
Fairview and Limestone mill schools
oined thf* children of Cherokee
avenue school in a picnic at Lime
stone springs last Saturday afternoon.
Although none of the schools turned
out in full, nearl- two hundred hap
py faces met at Cherokee avenue
school and baskets on arm and
unches In tfaud. marched to tlhe
dummy.
After making the welkin ring
for more than thr*-e hours, a table
was spread under th« great trees
around which the children were
gathered in a circle. After a short
talk by Revs. W. E. Crocker an.d G.
P. Hamrick, the children were waited
on to their hearts content.
Th» children were then arranged
on the slope of the ground in the
form of three letters. “C. A. S.”
sending for Cherokee avenue school.
This, however, was in anticipation of
the new school building that is to be
built. In this position a photograph
was taken.
At half-past five o’clock all the
children made a rush for the dummy
and returned to Gaffnev where they
were all sent to their homes.
Be It said to the credit of the teach
ers of these school, their work is
greatly appreciated by the com
munity.

Habits of economy and thrift and the advantages of a bank account, for therein
