The Forth of July celebration is an
assured fact.
Gaffney and Cherokee county,,
together with our friends and neigh
bors will celebrate the day in grand
style.
The meeting called for last Friday
night met at The Ledger office and
after discussing the matter adjourned
to meet Monday night at the court
house. Monday night a good sized
crowd met at the court house and
discussed the matter. Kd. II.
DeCamp was made chairman and If.
C. Allien secretary. The chairman
stated the object of the meeting and
outlined a plan of celebration. l*ut-
riotic and enthusiastic addresses were
made by Col. T. I». Ifutler, Capt. J.
If. Bell and others. On motion by
Mr. Butler the Chair was niKhorized
to appoint an executive committee of
twelve. This committee was authori
zed to select the necessary sub-com
mittees. The chair appointed on the
executive committee the following
gentlemen: S. L. Cutting, E. J.
Burnett, T. B. Butler, .1. Little. F.
G.Stacy, J.B.Bell. M.G. Montgomery,
Or. C. T. Lipscomb, L. Baker, Mayor
X. 11. Littlejohn, Col. J. G. Wurdlaw,
and E. L. Eison. On motion it was
decided that the executive committee
should meet at the National Bank of
Gaffney Wednesday night to appoint
the Sub-committees.
Another general meeting will he
held at the court house tonight to
hear the report of the executive com
mittee. Every man in Gaffney who
is interested in the progress and ad
vancement of Gaffney and the county
is expected to be at the meeting to
night. The executive committee
desires the. support of all in this
undertaking. They not only want a
good time for them selves and their
friends but they want to pusli Gaffney
and Cherokee county to the front
rank. This is one of the ways to do it.
Already our friends in the country
arc talking about the Fourth of July
celebration in Gaffney. A gentleman
was in the city yesterday and called
at The Ledger office. In the course
of conversation he said : “Push the
Fourth of July celebration for all it
is worth. We people in the country
like to come to Gaffney when you
have a big day. It relieves the
monotony of farm life. Besides, we
like to mingle with our friends in the
city. It makes us feel closer to each
other and creates a brotherly feeling.
By ail means pusli your Forth of July
celebration. We will help you out."
Another gentleman from the coun
try said: "Do all you can for the
Fourth of July celebration. If the
Gaffney people can't raise the money
•I am in favor of appointing a man at
every postoffice in the county to so
licit funds for the celebration. Have
a place for the old veterans and they
will help the movemens along."
We thank our friends for the interest
taken and will do all in our power to
help give them a great day on the
Fourth of July.

J. TUCK M’CRAW IS NO MORE.
Another of Cherokee's Best Citizens
Called to His Reward.
The city was saddem 1 on Tuesday
by the intelligence of the death of
Mr. J. Tuck McCraw, which occured
at the old Met’raw homestead on that
day. Mr. McCraw had been sick
such a short while that few were
aware of his illness. It was only to
day week that he started to his farm
in apparant health. On the way he
was attacked with a fit of vomiting.
He returned to his home and sum
moned a physician, who did all he
could for the sufferer but without
avail. The time for his departure
was at hand and all that loving
hands and skilled physicians could
do availed nothing. The summons
came Tuesday morning and the end
was quiet and peaceful.
The enterment took place yester
day at State Line Grave yard in the
presence of a large concourse of ad
miring friends.
J. Tuck McCraw was one of the
best men in Cherokee county. Every
body who knew him loved hiui. He
possessed the virtues- chat go to
make up the true ajan. Hie honor
and integrity bkve never been ques
tioned by aqy one. For five yours he
was a trusted employee of Carroll &
Carpentgt, ci this city, and during
hie connection with the firm he made
rotlny friends by his gentle demeanor
4nd fair dealings. He has been a
successful clerk, farmer, and teacher.
He was a candidate for clerk of the
court of this county in the first elec
tion and although be did not win the
prize he polled a most creditable
vote. On all sides we hear him
spoken of as a true, generous and
brave man. Cherokee county can
ill afford to part with such men us
J. Tuck McCraw.
Deceased leaves a wife and four
children together with a large con
nection of relatives to mourn his loss.
The Construction of the Buildings W*s
Commenced Last Saturday.
'■ Work on the construction of the
buildings for the Gaffney Carpet Man
ufacturing Company was commenced
last Saturday afternoon. When a
Ledger representative called at the
site Tuesday afternoon he found that
work was being pushed vigorously.
Already one is enabled to get a, fair
idea of the magnitude of the build
ings to bo constructed. Foreman
Curry was pushing matters for all he
was worth. The contract calls for
the completion of the buildings about
the middle of next month and Mr.
Curry says if they uro not delayed in
receiving the lumber he will have the
buildings completed on time. The
reporter found President Bierck
busily engaged at iiis desk, but be
courteously received The Ledger and
gave out some ii.teresting tacts con
cerning this new enterprise. There
will be six buildings. The main
building will be 123 feet Oj inches
by 71 feet 1 inches, two stories high,
with a storage room underneath.
There will be an annex 12 feet 1<>
inches by 71 feet 1 inches. The di
mensions of the other buildings will
be as follows: Office—II by 22 feet
1 inch; engine room—12 feet, 1 inch
by 20 feet; boiler room—12 feet J
inch by 10 feet; dye house—b) feet
by 12 feet 1 inch. Besides these
buildings the company will erect all
necessary outhouses and tenement
houses for the operatives. The com
pany has a magnificent water supply
and will erect and operate its own
private water works. A 'water tank
of 100.000 gallons capacity will be
constructed for general purposes and
a smaller tank will be built for
sprinkling purposes. The company
will use GUO 000 cubic feet of water
annually. Both male and female op
eratives will bo employed but the
male element will predominate. The
machinery has been ordered and is of
the latest and most improved pattern.
This is the first mill of the kind
erected south of Pennsylvania. The
company proposes to lay off the
grounds in walks and otherwise
beautify them. They have thirty
acres of land and will make it one of
the most attractive mill sites in the
south. Mr. Bierck, the president
and manager, is a thorough and prac
tical carpet mill man, having been in
the business since he was thirteen
years of age and has hud experience
in all the various departments. He
is a most courteous and affable gen
tleman and one calculated to make
many friends. He states that the
company have already sold all the
goods they can make for some time
to come.
We welcome the advent of this
new enterprise in our midst and with
for the promoters the success they so
richly deserve.
There is no
word so full
of meaning
and about which such tender and
holy recollections cluster as that
of “ Mother ”—she who watched
over our helpless infancy and guid
ed our first tottering step. Yet
the life of every Expectant Moth
er is beset with danger and all ef
fort should be made to avoid it.
