itefillaw ^rralft Mil-, 8. CM Sept. M, 1918. * 4MMCKTHINO ABOUT G1FFNET. If jrou know muck about your natlvo state you have heard ot Gaffney, M. C. Gaffney la the capital ot Cherokee county, one of the Piedmont border counties, and the city itself ia one of the moot thriving and prospermia manufacturing centres of that gnat industrial section. The people of South Carolina will Bear a lot about Gaffney for tho next few weeks because the South Carolina Press Association held its enamel meetinr thorn loot week unit the aditors were greatly impressed with vkat they saw, and delighted with the hospitality of these charming Piedmont folk. Gaffney is not much older than DUtoq and Cherokee county was established a few years aftdh the Dillon county movement was inaugurated. Gaffney, like Dillon, had a long, hard fight for a new county, bui when they carved Cherokee out ol portions of Spartanburg and Union they, too, like Dillon, took awa> from the old mother counties one ol the earth's garden spots. There was a division of sentiment over the name of the proposed new county, and foi a time it looked as if the new county advocates would become hopelessly divided. Some wanted it named "Limestone," a name of some historic significance, while others wanted it named Cherokee, a name of still greater historic significance. It is related by one of the leaders in the movement that he took the "bits ir bis teeth" and went "over the river* And asked for a hand primary on the name, first making every man pledge bimself to stand by the majority The majority voted for "Cherokee,* And tben and there, under the spread lag branches of a giant oak, a mogi embarrassing problem was solvec And one of the best little counties ii the state received its christening begore it was born. The official survey calls for 42? square miles, but there is a suspicion Chat its boundary lines have gone through a process of "shrinkage" since It was established, as there are "knowing ones" who claim that CheTofcee just does come within the constitutional 400 mile requirement. But If Cherokee has contracted in area her expansion in wealth has more than offset this minor deficiency, for today she is one of the state's lead4ng manufacturing and agricultural counties. But it is of the town itself that we wish to write. Gaffney is about twice the size of Dillun. It is a typical mountain town, with well paved streets that run up and down bill tike a mechanical switch-back at a summer resort. There are several small mountains within easy reach of the town, while the dim outlines of the Blue Ridge can be seen on a clear day. It has a modern hotel nn on the European plan and a fine system of graded schools, but its .greatest show place is the "Irene CotCon Mills," the only mill in the United .States that bleaches and mercerizes iis own gooas. rne nun itself is a model of mechanical ingenuity, but as a work of art the grounds eclipse .anything of the kind we have ever ween. The man who constructed the 'Irene Mills is a former mill superintendent who knows the practical aide of the mill business. His mill bas been a wonderful financial success. but unlike most men who accumulate big fortunes he did not neglect the aesthetic side of. life, and the beautiful grove that serves as a background for his mills he has turned into a vertiable paradise.
