WINTER
Lingers in the lap of spring
like an iceberg in a flower gar
den . Suddenly the sun bursts
forth in May and every artery
of trade is set pulsing with bois
terous currents. Everybody is
awake at once. Everybody finds
that they lack something, or
many things to make their per
son presentable for
. SPRING.
Wherever the refreshing rain
falls it leaves a track of respon
sive energy, of bloom, of hope
and confidence. The world, it
seems, is alive and smiling. We
are alive and standing on our
feet and smiling as the eager
buyers crowd our way.
QUITE A CHANGE
In the past twenty years. To-
dav we see men who can
hold your hand and tell your
thoughts, women qn bicycles,
brass bands in churches, etc.
Good old Grandma, with her
mitten and turkey-tail fan aint
here to correct us.
The same will apply to the
horrible credit system which has
ruined many.

OUR first memorial day.
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.

AN AWFUL GAME.
Cld>s.
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. Live towns like Gaff
ney receive attention. from live rail
way corporations likq the Southern.J*
