Early Saturday inornin'' the town was astir making preparations to go to the Cowpens Itattlegrourul to at tend the annual celebration, and in a short time vehicles of every discription loaded with all ages and conditions of Corrt'ctloiiH in Treasurer** Keport. In the county treasurer’s report published in our last issue, the total of the disbursement claims in the ' Interest It. R Bonds Spartanburg Sect.” should have been $1,88!MIS instead of $11,889.31, and the grand total should have been $3,000.91 in stead of $2,000.90. humanity were moving out towards the historic field. The same is true of every neighborhood in reach of the Battleground and by ten o’clock a big crowd was on the field and they were still pouring in from all quarters. By noon the crowd was estimated at two thousand people, all glad that they were able to be present to do honor to the heroes who fought on the field. The programme for the day was much interfered with by the absence of Gen. LoRoy F. Yeomans who was expected to deliver the oration. At half past II o’clock President Horton called the meeting to order and first introduced Miss Margaret McKie of the 1900 class of Limestone College, who had prepared an essay on the battle. Miss McKie appeared on the front of the platform accom panied by i’rof. (Irillith who read hei essay, which was a fine piece of his toric literature, showing great j natural ability and the fine literary i training for which her college is fa mous, and a knowledge of the battle most creditable to her. Miss McKie is a eharmirfg uaughter of Edgefield of which the historic old county should bo proud and of whom Chero kee feels complimented by having her educated in her b >rders. Miss McKie was accompanied on the stand by the entire class of 1900 which added much beauty and bright ness to the occasion. After Miss McKie’s essay Mrs. Javous Kunbrel, about eighty jear.- old was placed on the s'at.d. !She is the daughter of the late Potter Enlno, who was a Revolutionary soldier, and as far as wo know is the only such now living in the state. Mrs. Kim- brel received much attention and seemed to enjoy the occasion. She was accompanied on tin* stai d by her husband, who was a Confederate soldier. Capt. II. P. Griffith in a most patriotic and happy way toid the audience who Mrs. Kimbrel was and of the patriotic service of her father. Capt. J. \V. Carlisle of Spartanburg then made a patriotic and encour aging address giving much hope and encouragement to those who were working for the park. After this the large crowd gathered around their well filled baskets and with their friends enjoyed the good things they hud prepared for the occasion, and then spent the after noon in pleasant social intercourse. The older ones talking of the good old times and the young ones of the good times coining when the Cow pens Park will become a fact. The Cowpens Memorial Association, with \V. T. Horton president and E. A. Trescott secretary and treasurer, are still working for the park. It has an option on the land and nearly money enough to pay for it. Con tributions are coming freely and it will he paid for by the loth of June. ISirtluluy Ccli liration.

Many people have not yet been able to take advantage of the unrivalled bargains we are offering and they v/ili now have an opportunity to do so. This sale has without doubt been the most sensational and aston ishing that ever took place in Gaffney and the business we have done since it began has far exceeded anything we ever did in the same length of time. Its popularity is caused alone by the wonderful values that are offered. Everything is sold exactly at New York cost and that is in every case lower than the same goods could be bought for now on account of the rise in price that has taken place in everything since we bought our stock* The stock is still unbroken and in excellent shape and everybody can be suited. Remember that the sale will positively be closed June 1 5 and our business closed up.
