It is Appropriately Observed by Gaff
ney's Graded School.
Last Friday was distinctly Chil
dren’s Day in Gaffney. The third
Friday in November has been set
apart by the State legislature as Ar
bor Day, but the Superintendent of
the Graded Schools thought it best
to defer arbor day exercises until Fri
day following Thanksgiving, and his
reason for the change were justified
by the success of the celebration.
At half past nine Friday morning
the children from both white schools,
about three hundred in number, as
sembled at the Graded School building
where the following appropriate pro
gram was carried out:
Song, America, by the whole
school.
Devotional Exercises, conducted
by Rev. F. C. Hickson.
Reading of the school act, by Ver
non Philips, 0th. grade.
Song: “Ho! For Carolina,” by the
4th. and 5th. grades.
“History of Arbor Day,” by Floyd
Baker. 9th grade.
Recitation: “Planting the apple
tree,” by the 5th. grade.
“Arbor Day in the school,” by B.
V. Whisonant, 8th grade.
“Some noted Trees,” by Miss Wil
lie Morgan, 7th grade.
Recitation: “Woodman spare that
tree,” by the 4th grade.
Recitation and song: “The Runa
ways,” by the 1st. grade.
After the conclusion of the pro
gram, the whole school assembled
upon the grounds, and each grade
“fell in” around its banner. A pro
cession was then formed with the
ninth grade at the head; then with
colors waving and banners Hying, the
regiment of three hundred, bright,
enthusiastic boys and girls proceeded
to “do” the town. The column was
formed two abreast, and was about
two hundred y; ids long. As they
filed through the heart of the town,
people were astonished at the striking
array of young folks. Some said that
they never knew there were so many
children in Gaffney, another said that
with such an army we could easily
“do” the Spaniards.
The graded schools are doing good
sincere work. The teachers appreci
ate their responsibslity, and are
striving to merit the trust the public
has confided in them. Most of the
children are enthusiastic pupils, and
a considerable “esprit de corps” has
developed among them, without which
success in school is impossible.
A Big Hunter.
I. M. Smith, of Thickety, one of
The Ledger’s best friends, is aiso an
enthusiastic hunter and before he
run his avoirdupoise up to the 200
pounds notch, was a follower of the
hounds. But his 200 pounds are too
much for himself and one horse, so
he coutents himself now with minor
sport and wants some body else along.
One day last week he induced his
little son Vaude and his neighbor Mr.
Silas Case to go turkey hunting with
him. Ike having located the tur
keys, it was not long before they
found them. The excitement and
work of killing turkeys commenced
at once, and before night, he and
Mr. Case had killed six fine turkeys.
Then how to get them home, was the
next question. Mr. Case and Vaude
thought there was nothing easier
than for Ike’s little mule which he
had ridden to carry them. But Ike
wanted the mule to carry him too,
and insisted on it, for Ike, after the
day’s hunt, could not get home any
other way. So Mr. Case and Yaudi
loaded up the mule with Ike and the
ninety pounds of turkeys, and made
the start. It was too much for the
mule, so a change had to be made.
They hated to leave Ike, and had no
notion of leaving the turkeys. They
took the turkeys off to make room for
Ike to, get off. But Ike wouldn’t do
it. So there were, in the woods,
with more Ike and turkeys than the
mule could carry, and Ike not even
willing to try to walk. Mr. Case and
Vaude suggested many modes of
transportation, Ike took no part in
their planning but kept his seat on
the little mule. Finally Mr. Case
shouldered four turkeys and Vaude
two and marched off leaving Ike and
the little mule to get home the best
way they could. They got there, but
] ke hasn’t been hunting since, and
will have to get new men to go with
him when he does go.
Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving day was observed by
all Gaffney. Appropriate services
were held in all the churches, and
were attended by large congregations.
Business houses were all closed, and
all manner of work in them suspen
ded. The streets had on a Sunday
appearance, but the hunters were in
evidence in all the country around.
Friends dined with friends, friends
rode with friends and strolled about
the then quiet ways of the city with
friends. Many directed their course
towards the city of our dead where
they mused often alone as near as
they could be to the dear departed
who dwell therein. Night came on
and closed the day which had been
thus pleasantly spent by our people,
who we trust had given heartfelt
thanks to our Heavenly Father for
His many blessings.
The Lecture.
On last Friday night a goodly num
ber of Gaffney’s people assembled at
the Graded school to hear a lecture by
Prof. Snyder, of Wofford College.
The speaker was in good trim, an J er.- j
tertained his audience for forty-five '
minutes with a discussion of the pub
lic school system. He treated the
subject under three heads: The com
mon school as an intellectual gym
nasium, as a store houselfrom .which
the world’s best knowledge is dissemi
nated; and as a moral gymnasium.
By illustrations and comparisons the
speaker happily illumined the great
work that is being accomplished by
the public schools of our country.
He deplored the fact that the people
in South Carolina have not caught
the inspiration in its fullest sense.
He showed how that a great country
like ours with its free institutions
and republican doctrines demands lor
its highest development a patriotic
citizenship; that patriotism cannot
be expected where ignorance prevails
as the man who knows nothing of
his notion, its laws and its institu
tions can never be inspired with the
lofty sentiments of love for his na
tive land; and since the state de
mands patriotism and intelligence of
her citizens, it is both the duty and
the privilege of the state to furnish
the means of meeting those demands.
Some beautiful pictures were drawn
from the late war with Spain in
which much of the credit was given
to the superior intelligence of the
American soldiers. It is said that
eighty per cent of the men in the ser
vice of the Spanish navy could not
read or Write their own language,
whereas in the American navy hardly
one out of a hundred could not read
or write.
I’rof. Snyder predicted a glorious
work ahead for the public schools of
our county, and expressed the earn
est hope that as a nation we should
press forward in this great work train
ing for our youth the imperial facul
ties of the mind, and making of them
an intelligent, patriotic people.
I’rof. Snyder is a pleasant and
powerful speaker, and will always be
welcomed in Gaffney.

On Catarrh
And Save Endless Suf
fering which Winter
Brings.
The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
"For years I suffered from a severe
ease of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. I was induced to try 8. S. S.
(Swift’s Specific) and after two months
I was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.
"B. I*. McAllister,
“Harrodsburg, Ky.”
It is easy to see the importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.
Those who get a start on the dis
ease before the cold and disagree
able weather aggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most ob
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,
washes, inhalations, etc., can
never cure Catarrh, for they do
not reach the dis
ease. Catarrh is
in the blood, and
only a blood
rented)' can cure
it. lAK*al appli-
^ cations only
? roach tbeirritated
surface; the right
remedy must be
taken internally.
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) is the
right remedy for Catarrh. It
cures the most obstinate cases by
going direct to the cause <>f the
trouble—the blood-—and loroing
out the disease. Those who have
met with so much disappointment
from local treatment should throw
aside their sprays, washes end in
haling mixtures and take S. S. 8.
A cure will result. Send tor free
books. Address Swift Specific
