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. Here
