Miss Carrie Ross Williams, (Bachelor of Mnsic, Syracuse University.) Private instruction in Piano and Voice, Choms classes for adults and children For information call at Games at Buffalo Closed season of the Fast Indians. Base ball for this year was ended by the fast Gaffney bunch last Wed nesday at Buffalo when they played the last game of the season. When a glance is taken at the record It is one to be proud of. Not a single team has won a series from our fel lows and they have played the very best in both North and South Caro lina. An even break is registered with Greer and Wadesboro. Three won and three lost to Greer and one won and one lost to Wadesboro. Out of sixty-four games played, forty- nine have been won, thirteen lost, and two tied. This is a per centage of 790, which is very good. When it is considered that the Gaffney bunch has been taking on all comers and playing the very best clubs In both North and South Carolina, this is a record to be proud of indeed. Gaff ney has enjoyed more good base ball this year than ever before, and put a team into the field this year that is easily the best that has ever re presented the city. The fans are sorry to see the season close and many a loyal base ball supporter will long for the familiar sights of the diamond before another season shall roll around. At this time it cannot be said what will be done about base ball in Gaffney another year, but it is a pretty safe bet that the base ball fans here will have a team wnen next summer comes. The fast team this year has brought many out to the ball park who never went there before, and many an ardent base ball enthusiast has converted to a great love of the game by the sensational plays of the fellows who composed this year’s team. The fact that the season is ended causes many to sigh for another sight of the bunch In act ion and it will seem strange indeed not to see the familiar crowds con gregated on the corners discussing this or that phase of the fast contest Just waged on the diamond. They will miss the sensational . stabs of Johnny Maxwell on third, the long catches of Rich and Doc in the field. They will long for a chance to yell as they did when Gene or Dank struck out .the opposing batter, or made him pop up a puny infield fly. They will wish they were back in the stands with the sun shining In their eyes and have a chance to be brought up standing as Waite or Ber ry or Ben threw out some bold enemy attempting to swipe second. They will miss the stentorian voices of Tom or Charlie as they declared the runner at first out, or safe as the case might be. They will miss all the fel lows as they made their assists or put outs, or errors, or strike outs as they all did, hut on the whole it has been a good year and everybody is satisfied. Some of them will be back another year and these same fans will have a chance to cheer these same fellows as they prance around next year while some of lliem will not play there again and these same fans can tell those who didn’t see fhese Indians play, how old So and So used to get ’em out on that field and how far old So and So used to hit 'em when he was playing for Gaff ney. Here’s ’oping they will all be back and that they will all hit ’em twice as far and twice as many grand stand stabs and twice as many fans see ’em do It. Colored Union Meeting. Gaffney, R. F.

Morgan 25 cents, A. R. Scruggs 50 cents. From Sunday schools and churches $18.50 which makes $36.60. I wish to state to the brethren that this report Is not as full as we ex pected it to be. A goodly number of the deacons stayed away from the union. Some preachers ought never to have been brought to Cherokee county. They are not doing anything for the educational work or the church they have in charge. We would thank such men to turn their steps some other way. If the colored people of this coun ty expect the negro boys and girls of this county to get an education that will be worth any thing to them, they must pay for it. The free school system is not sufficient to give them the training they ought to have. I admit that it has done a great deal of good. Too many of us set down and expect the State to do all of the educating. What we need most Is a trade. Let us get together and build a school in this county where a goodly number of our boys and girls can get the advantage of a school at home. This would be up building to this county and the city of Gaffney. I believe with a little work on our part, somebody will see us and come to our aid. Here Is a chance for all to demon strate their wishes in the matter. On Thanksgiving day, the last Thurs day in November, there will be a Silver Dollar Day at the Cherokee Normal school building. Let every man in this county give one dollar, then we can reach the goal we aim at. We need a newspaper so that we can speak out to you at all times. We need a farm and implements to run it with in connection with the school. I would ask some man that knows what to do to come to Gaff ney and help us push this work. The many friends of Mrs. G. V. Gaston were shocked to hear of her death last Saturday. Her remains were laid to rest in the Philadelphia cemetery.

A Few Reasons Why You Should Take Stock In Peoples Being Senator Tillman and Senator Smith. (Spartanburg Journal.) Senator Tillman and Senator Smith will make a fine team for South Car olina in the United States Senate. The two men exactly complement each other. They are enough alike to be congenial and sufficiently dif ferent to make a well-rounded com posite. Senator Smith will not only give a good account of himself on the floor of the Senate, but he will bring his great energy, deep learning and wide Information to play in commit tee and In department work, espec ially as concerns the South’s great cotton producing and cotton manu facturing industries. His electionnto be United States Senator will bring into prominence and prestige the ideas he has stood for of co-operation among the farmers and the applica tion of business methods to the mar keting of cotton and will greatly strengthen the organizations of the farmers of the South.

Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine full of knots are two different things; they are both called pine. Clear paint and paint adulterated with whiting, china-clay, ground stone, barytes, benzine and water, are different things; they are both called “paint.’ It takes less labor to work dear pine than pine knots, and costs less money. It takes less labor to paint clear paint than half-whiting or half china- clay or half ground stone or half barytes. These mixtures make more gallons, not more paint. There’s no more milk in two quarts of milk-and- water than in one quart of milk. If you paint two gallons for one you pay double for labor; and labor costs more than paint You know how it is with clear lum ber and knots. It’s the same with all paint and half-paint. A day’s-work is a gallon of paint or half-paint. Apply it to business. Suppose you have two houses, same size; paint one Devoe, the other the other promi nent paint In your town. It take% 10 gallons Devoe, $1.75 a gallon, $17.50 for paint; $3 a gallon for labor, $30 for labor; whole Job, $47.50. It takes f6 gallons of that other paint, game price, $26.25 for paint; $3 a gallon for labor, $45 for labor; whole job $71.25. And which wears best, clear pine or pine knots? Devoe wears better than that weak paint. What warrant is there for easing that paint is weak? It takes more gallons. Yours truly 84 F W DEVOE & CO P. S. Gaffney Hardware Company sell our paint.
