J. E. Websteh,
ti-i'-Jt Probate Judge.
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.
