It Was a Glorious Time ior the Old Vets Who Gathered to Hear the Masterly Griffith Talk of War. The United Confederate Veterans of Camp Jake Q. Carpenter held an informal meeting in the auditorium or the Gaffney Male and Female Sem inary last Saturday at 10 o’clock a. m. Quite a number of ladies were present to show their appreciation of the old soldiers and to hear the ad dress of Prof. Griffith, who had been selected as the speaker for the occa sion. Prof. W. F. McArthur, as master of ceremonies, announced that Mrs. J. Q. Carpenter, widow of the dead sol dier for whom the camp was named, was oresent as the invited guest of the Ladies’ Memorial Association and introduced her as such, the veterans standing in recognition of that fact. The proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. T. J. Campbell, chap lain of the camp. Prof. McArthur said that the pur pose of the meeting was to aid the Ladies’ Memorial Association in the work of decorating the graves of the Confederate dead. Prof. (rf)fllth was then introduced and made a speecli of some length, recounting many incidents of tlie war and the causes that I’d to it. He also made some allusions to the falla cies that have crept into history through the prejudice of authors and paid a glowing tribute to the valor of tho Confederate soldiers. He men tioned many incidents which alter nately provoked tears and laughter. He urged the necessity of having a correct history and of our seeing that justice was done to our dead as well as our living soldiers. The Southern soldier had been stigmatized as rebels and other irreverent illusions had been made by tho conquering power. He said that if the South had refused to light it would have be come a by-word for all nations and our women would have been justified In seeking protection of other men. It was not to the South’s interest to fight. Lincoln knew his attempt to supply FortHumter would be resisted. The party who mokes cause for war is the aggressor. He spoke of the devotion of the women to the cause of the Confederacy and said that the loyalty of the slaves to their masters was unprecedented, and added. “We should d**J -gently with him.” He fold many camp stories, etc. The Uneeting adjoujrppd with the announcement that the Lutiiv^' ^)e- moriiil Association would meet on Monday, the 11th, and proceed to decorate the graves of the Confeder ate dead. It Was a Creditable Affair for this Go- A-Head Town. We congratulate Gaffney for her aspirationsafterthe things that make for her prosperity, also for tip-toeing and trying to reach older cities,vieing with them in the grand and beautiful sentiment which touches feeling hearts and ‘‘stirs a thousand melodies unheard before.” Monday afternoon witnessed our delicate and novel ex pression of sad and sweet memories of crushed hopes and buried friends who bravely died for dear and gallant South Carolina. A long procession of old and young and joyous little children wended their way to the cemetery. Some in the throng had tear-dimmed eyes as the tragic experience of the past rushed upon them, and for the inno cent we invoked high heaven’s shield against the horrors of war and the red-stained battle-field. Our young townsmen, Thomas Brown, with rightful pride and dignity, bore the flag that in the hands of his brave father had floated over Gaffney’s no ble men. With awe and reverence it was “wreathed with glory and will live in song and story.” When we halted at the silent rest ing place of the dead the suu in ap parent sympathy drew a mantel over ' his effulgent face and beneath the shade of ancient trees we sung “My Country” that “when wrong some died to set it right, now we’ll try to keep her honors bright.” Prof. R. (). Sams read in his peculiarly clear voice and heart expression Father Ryan’s beautiful and unique gem “March of the Deathless Dead.” The crowd then silently separated to honor their respective graves, cover- their dear ones with garlands and roses “till Jesus shall wake them bye-and-bye.” Prof. W. F. McArthur’s talk at the seminary was entertaining and in structive. Prof. H. P. Griffith pre sided over the occasion in his char acteristic manner. Mrs. Anna 6f Deputy I).

The “Down Town” Boys Were Not “In It.” What gave premise of a good game of b; U last Thursday aftcrnuon ended in a miserable farce. A large crowd of enthusiastic admirers of the great and only game hud gathered at the grounds of the Gaffney Male and Fe male Seminary to witness n contest between that nine and what was known as the ‘‘Down Town” nine. A good portion of the crown were Indies. The sympathy of tho crowd was pret ty evenly divided with the odds in favor of the “Down Towns.” For five innings the game was hotly contested but tho “Down Towns” were never able to overcome the lead that the School Roys maintained In the first innin<* although at the end of tho fifth tTto School Boys were but one run ahead. that tho School Boys batted every the Down Towns would put up 0 box” and ran buses as easy us a * rat falling into a creek, while the.r opponents couldn’t stop anything at all. Tho features of the game were Lipscomb’s magnificent fielding and Inman’s home run. Tom Brown pitched good ball but bis strength weakened and he was forced to give way to Clary who yielded to Falls. Humphries and Inman were the star players for the school and they both played good hall. Tho “Down Towns” gave up at the beginning of the last half of tho eighth inning with the score 29 to IB. The lady friends of both teams were vory enthusiastic and presented their respective admir ers with boquets of flowers. —- -• Gaffney Continues to Grow. The increasing business of Gnffney has made more side track necessary here. Tho Southern Railway author- ties have let the contract to build about two thousand feet more. Rail road companies don’t build add tionul side tracks in dead towns. There is no need for it.
