At 2 : to a train of four cars tilled to their utmost capacity left the depot on Frederick atreet for the inagniticent rendezvous prepared for the public. Arriving at the park the excursionists were met by a good siz 'd crowd from I { j otlt Blacksburg and for the remainder of j the day enjoyed themselves in inno- i cent and healthful amusements. | The Gaffney Cornet Band discoursed sweet music to the delight of those who attended. Capt. Tripp and Mr. Maxwell and other attaches of the railroad met the crowd and showed them marked attention. After several tunes by the hand Capt. Tripp intro duced Major John F.

Those who had any idea that the Fourth ef July celebration in this city was to be a tame affair may as well dispell the illusion at once. The committees have gone to work with commendable zeal and the prepara, tions are a mining definite shape. The affair will bo a credit to the town and county and no one need feel any anxiety on that score. Tuesday Col. T. B. Butler, the chairman of the committee on speak ing, received the following telegram from Senator John L. McLaurin: Mr. T. B Hitler, Gaffney, S. C. I will accept your ind invitation k to deliver an address at Gaffney. Of course you understand that Congress has not adjourned, but I think noth ing will prevent my leaving for a few days even if it: session then. John L. McLaurin. Thus we are assured that we are to have some good speaking. The theme of Senator McLaurin's address will be •‘The American Indepedance” or “A Park at Oowpens Battle Ground” or something of tiiat nature. It will be a purely patriotic address and he will not burden our visitors with a politi cal stump speech. The committee on grounds have decided to have the celebration on the beautiful grounds at Limestone and will begin to put things in shape this week. The committee on bicycle races are at work and expect to have some of the best amateur riders in North and South Carolina present. The committee on baseball is corresponding with several teams and it may confidently be expected that the game on that day will be full of snap and ginger. The committee on intermediate amusements have decided on a tournament and have secured permis sion from the city council and the res idents along Rutledge avenue running by Mr. W. T. Thompson’s blacksmith shop to have the racing take place on that avenue. This is the same ground on which the races took place three years ago. No better place could liave been selected. The course is as level as the floor and straight as an arrow. Already they have assurances of about fifteen riders for this event. The committee on advertising expect to have their work out the first cf next week. The time has come when every true Gaffneyite and every loyal Cherokeean should put his shoulder to the wheel and push the celebration for all it is worth. We want a rousing big crowd on the Fourth and if we will but try we can secure one even larger than tiie one we had two years ago. There is one thing to be remembered. The committee have decided that it is impruetijahle to attempt to furnish a free dinner for the crowd on that. day. So all who come are expected to bring their dinner with them or come prepared to buy it or go without. There will he plenty of food for those who wish to pay for it but there will be no free dinner. Everything else will be as free as the air you breathe, except seats on the grand stand. A nominal charge of 10 cents will be made for them. This momey is to go to the cost of erecting them. - -• -*•*- - — The Tent Meeting, The revival meeting at the tent has been progressing very nicely since its commencement. On Saturday Rev. E. P. Hutson, of Richburg Cir cuit. South Carolina Conlerence, ar rived in the city and began work at the tent. He has been preaching twice a day since he arrived.
