Joseph King’s com pany will appear at the Star Theatre on Saturday night, December 5th, and a fine performance is assured. The story of East Lynne is so familiar it seems almost superfluous to attempt any outline of it, but a paragraph or two In that direction may not be amiss. Lady Isabel is married to Archibald Carlyle, and, though in love with her husband, Is Insanely and unjustly jealous of Barbara Hare, a family friend and life long acquaintance of Archibald. Her jealousy is fanned in to hatred by a designing villain, Sir Francis Levison, and she, after sever al years of happy married life, is in duced to leave her husband through the false representations of Levison. Deserted by the dest#oyer of her peace, she is left alone to the mercy of the world. Miserable and remorse ful, she gains entrance into her for mer husband's home in the guise of a French governess and is enabled to see and be with her children, although unable to re-establish herself as his wife, for, on her desertion. Archibald had married Barbara Hare. She finds some solace and comfort how ever. in the care of her children. The death of her eldest, however, under mines her own health and finding her self at death’s door, she calls for her former husband, discloses her identi ty and with his forgiveness, passes into the great beyond. Relic of Indian Days. Mr. L. W. Buchanan, who has re cently moved to this city from Boil ing Springs. N. C., brought to this office, Saturday, an old piece of pot tery in the shape of a bowl or small oven. The vessel was of Indian man ufacture, and seemed to have been cut or chiseled out of a solid piece of soapstone, with short extensions on each end for handles. It had a small round hole in the bottom of it, and when found the hole was closed with a tight-fitting piece of the same material as the howl; but this was lost in handling. This relic of Indian days was plowed up by Mr. Buch anan's son, Milton, on his farm near Boiling Springs. Sam Byars, colored, was arrested by the local police officers Saturday night on the charge of selling whiskey. He was tried in mayor’s court yester day morning and a sentence of thirty days on the gang or $100 fine was im posed. He is an old offender, and the officers say that, his fine will be paid.

A recent deserved promotion that took place in this city was that of Mr. Dever Little to the superinten dency of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company. Mr. Little succeeds Mr. J. D. Buice, who has held this position for more than four years, and who is one of the best mill men in this section. The Ledger is informed that Mr. Buice resigned on account of declining health. Mr. Little is a Gaffney boy. He is one of those boys you sometimes read about but seldom see. The son of wealthy parents who took a pride in giving him a good collegiate education and then instilled into him the idea that man should earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Young Little went into the mill and started at the bottom rung of the ladder. He has steadily climbed by sheer force of character and by indefatigable work from one position to another until he has reach ed the superintendency. We look to see him president some day. And the wealth of Dever Little’s father has played no part In this ascension, other than to educate him for his life work. It was only a few weeks ago that Mr. J. Q. Little disposed of his entire holdings, about $20,000. In the Gaffney Manufacturing Co., and since then comes this promotion, which clearly demonstrates that Dever Lit tle is a man of ability and that he is no pampered favorite of a corporation because of the holdings of his father.

On Saturday afternoon Sheriff Thomas received information that a distillery was in operation about ten miles east of Gaffney on what is known as the Bearden place. Accom panied by Deputy Lipscomb, the sheriff was soon on the scene where he found a distilling apparatus which showed every Indication of having re cently been in operation, and that the plant had been located at this place for several months. He found be tween thirty and fifty bushels of mash which he destroyed together with a large number of boxes and barrels. He also destroyed the still and worm. There was no one at the distillery when the officers arrived, consequently no arrests were made. It Is known, however, In the c#m- munity who has been operating the plant and it is probable that certain arrests will be made In the near fu ture. Appointments. C., Nov. 30, 1908.
