D. O. K. K. FESTIVITIES.
Fun During the Day and Feasting at
Night.
Several of Gaffney’s D. O. K. K’s.
went to Spartanburg to participate In
the festivities of the order held In
(hat city Tuesday and Tuesday night.
The Spartanburg Journal says of
the event:
“The D. O. K. K’.s were rampant
yesterday afternoon and last night.
With festive garb and frolicsome
sport they made things lively on Mor
gan square and East Main street, for
(hey paraded from the hall through
the square and several princiiyil
streets and back to their hall, where
tros who sought to learn the mys
teries of the order were hustled
across the burning sands of the de
sert. In making the trip across the
desert the caravan paused long
enough at an oasis to enjoy an elab
orate banquet, after which they went
back to the hall where -there were
som strange and weired proceed
ings. Altair Temple No. 102, D. O.
K. K., was out with its full team,
and there were also gathered many
D. O. K. K’.s from Greenville, Gaff
ney, Clifton, Woodruff and Union to
participate in the fun and enjoy the
banquet.
From the time the D. O. K. K’.s
started up their magic sport and spec
tacular parade they were supreme in
the business secfion of the city. The
parade started from the hall at F. L.
Liles’ building, headed by the First
regiment band, and th# D. O. K. K’.s
with their fez’s, Zouave costumes and
bright colors presented a lively pic
ture as they marched through the
streets. Aftre the parade the D. O.
K. K’.s gathered at their hall where
the real business began, the initia
tion of the candidates. At about
9.30 o’clock the jolly crowd repaired
to the Hampton Guards Armory where
they enjoyed an elegant banquet.”
ALUMNAE BAZAAR.
Will Be Held Next Tuesday, the 15th
Instant.
As announced in a previous issue
of The Ledger, the Alumnae Associa
tion of Limestone will hold a bazaar
next Tuesday, 15th Inst., in the vacant
storeroom formerly occupied by J. M.
Nelson, lu the Spake building oppo
site The Ledger office.
The ladies in charge will have for
sale, besides a large assortment of
dolls, many nice and valuable things
suitable for home use or as presents
to friends and loved ones. A table
will also be loaded with a bountiful
supply of all the good things calculat
ed to tempt the appetite and “tickle
the palate” of the most fastidious and
exacting epicure, where anyone may
regale himself to his heart’s content'
for a very small fee.
The proceeds of the bazaar will go
to the pipe-organ fund of Limestone
College, and the ladies will appre
ciate a large attendance and all the
aid that may be given them in their
worthy cause.
Heavy Hogs.
On Wednesday Mr. John Wood kill
ed two large hogs. One netted 428
pounds and the other 400. On the
same day Mr. William Moore killed
one which weighed 382 pounds. When
people can raise such porkefs as these
right,, here in Cherokee it looks the
part of foolishness to be sending to
Tennessee for hogs and to Chidago for
bacon.

Shooting Near Gaffney.
Tuesday night, about two ana a
half miles west of Gaffney, Wash
Ross, a negro farmer a l nd his neigh
bor, Lew Sprouse, a white man, living
close together, had some trouble.
About 9 o’clock, while Ross was walk
ing dlong from his house to Sprouse’s
with Sprouse’s wife, Sprouse met the
party and sent about an ounce of No.
7 shot into Wash’s hide. Sprouse ran
as soon as he fired, and went to his
brother’s home several miles away.
Ross was not seriously hurt, though
it is said that his skin from his neck
to his heels was perforated with shot.
Sheriff Thomas was notified soon
after the occurrence and went to the
scene. He soon found Sprouse at his
brother’s house near Goucher and
arrested him, brought him to the City
about day break Wednesday mornmg
and placed him in jail.
Waite Hamrick Drafted.
Last Monday’s Columbia State con
tained an item to the effect that Mr.
Waite Hamrick, who played last sea
son for Chester, but who is a Gaff
ney, boy, had been .drafted by Mobile,
of the Southern League. Mr. Hamrick
does not intend to play professional
ball, however. HE expressed sur
prise at being drafted and said he did
not know just what he would do.
Waite is one of the best young catch
ers in the country and the action of
the Mobile club is a just compliment
to his ability as a ball player., He Is
a son of Dr. W. C. Hamrick and made
a reputation as a ball player while at
tending Wake Forest College. He be
gan his career on the Gaffney graded
school diamond.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral cer
tainly cures coughs, colds,
bronchitis, consumption. And
it certainly strengthens weak
throats and weak lungs.
There can be no mistake about
this. You know it is true. And
your own doctdr will say so.
The best kind cf a testimonial —
“Sold for over sixty years.”

Men’s styles in Clothing change radically from season to

over any goods, but to close them out at the end of the sea
son, regardless of price. We therefore offer the odds'and
ends of this season’s selling at sharp reductions. While there
may be only a few Suits of a kind, there is a complete assort
ment of sizes and models, so that the tall man and the short
one, the stout man and the slim one—any figure—can be
fitted and suited.
Every Suit included in this sale is from our regular stock
—no cheaply made merchandise bought for the occasion--
