A bicycle belonging to the Gaffney Hardware Co., wa» left In the alley between the Gaffney Hardware Co. and Clary & Kirby's market last Thursday afternoon, when along come a corn with perlolnlng procliv ities and covetousness in his heart. He took a fancy to the wheel and be fore anyone knew It both negro and wheel had disappeared. Search wan instituted, the phone pressed Into service and It was soon learned that the negro had jessed Taylor Petty’s place on the wheel. This was about four o’clock. Albert Kirby and Hen ry Lockhart started out In hot pur suit. The fleeing negro -was chased beyond Wilkinsvllle where he was overtaken and captured at 3 o’clock Friday morning. The thief had stop ped at the home of a colored friend and was in the embrace of Morpheus when he was ruthlessly dragged from his couch and brought to the city. He is now languishing behind the bars at Sheriff Thomas’ hostelry and will answer for his misdeed at the approaching term of court. Died at 106. “Aunt Mary” Nott, an old colored woman, said to have been in her 106th year, died at he r home in this city yesterday morning. She at one time belonged to the Dr. Nott family at Limestone. That was more than forty yeers ago. That she was a very old woman is established by the fact that she was about sixty when the war between the States ended. Citizens of Gaffney who have known her for more than a score of years, Is our authority for the statement that ehe was 106. Our Informant says he could not swear to the statement, al though he believed it, for the reason that he had not been here that long himself. Gaffney to Have Hospital. The Limestone Sanatarium Com pany has purchased from C. G. Parish his house and lot on Robertson street whereon they propose to erect an up- to-date building where they will re ceive patients for treatment. The gentlemen who are at the head of this enterprise are among the best in the profesion of medicine, and the ven ture will doubtless be a success. Gaff ney has long needed a hospital and the establishing of this enterprise will result In no little saving of ex pense to our people. Mr. Parish had Intended to build a much better house than the one he has sold, on his beautiful lot which adjoins the hospital, but for reasons which are satisfactory to himself, hag decided not to do so. ismmtmmmmx : E REPORT =3 The Cattle Tick.

As the paper Is a must valuable one, and will only cost a two cent stamp, every farmer in the county s hould avail himself of the opportunity and obtain a copy. From an Old Frlned. Centre,! Msss., May 27.—I am glad to note from The Ledger that weather conditions have been more favorable for farmers in South Carolina than in Mississippi. Besides the cyclone destruction we have suffered immense ly from excessive rains. It rained from L3th until the 18th, five days and night, more or less, sometimes tor rents, overflowing bottom lands which previous rains prevented from being prepared, yet to be prepared if It is planted. This is the best cotton land in this country with favorable seasons, making a bale to the acre. The pen picture of Roosevelt by a Texas congressman that appeared In The Ledger a short time back was the best thing on that line i ever read. It was very interesting. The organic law of our nation seems not in his way when he wants to do anything. His treatment of Col. Stewart lately savours of Russia’s treatment of crim- minals after conviction, banishing them to Siberia. In Stewart’s case there was no trial or conviction. Roosevelt is a dangerous man to be at the helm of our nation. Garfield was the best president the Republicans ever elected who was assisted by a man of his own party, but McKinley, while a goo| man, lacked backbone. As the old Lincoln, I am not one of those Southern men who think it would have been better for the South had he lived. Just take his reply to Seward, his secretary of State, who remonstrated with him against his issuing his proclamation freeing the negroes. Steward stated to him that the men In the South were all in the army and the negroes would murder all the Southern women and children. Think of his reply, “He did not care if they did murder them.’’ This Is secret or Is not of course public his tory, yet nevertheless a fact all the same. Steward was as fanatical aboli tionist as lived north of the Mason and Dixon line. He never uttered a good word concerning the South or Southern people while In the United States senate. I read a number of speeches. i. Peeler. THE BEST TEACHER There is no doubt but that EXPERIENCE is the best teacher—that is—sbe'V 1 teaches thoroughly so that one never forgets the lesson, but she often charges an awful price for tuition.
