Make your preparations to take paft in the festivities on the “Glori ous Fourth,” for we are going to have a magnificent display of interesting things on that day. Many new ad ditions have been made to the grand floral parade and other features of the occasion, and enthusiasm has al most reached its climax now that the all important day is so near. Leave all your cares and worries at home and come out and enjoy your self as you have never enjoyed life before. Nature demands that we have some pleasure in this world, and every man, no matter what his business may be nor what position he may occupy, can afford to “take a day olT” at least once in a year, and give himself up to rest, recreation ami enjoyment. Let everybody come—male and fe male, old and young—the program is varied and extensive and there will be something to please everyone who attends. The managers and promo ters of the celebration have spared neither pains rroi - expense toward making it eclipse all others in magni tude and splendor; they are indefati gable in their efforts to have every feature up to the highest point of beauty and excellence, and every one who remains away will never cease to regret it. A magnificent program that will last from U a. in, until midnight has been arranged by the committee and everything that possibly could be done by the committee to make the celebration a success has been accom plished. A feature that will in all proba bility be added to the parade will be a number of floats representing the various business interests of the city. Already the Gaffney Carpet Manu facturing Company, John W. Bridges, A. 13. Gaines and the iSmiib Hard ware Co., have signified their willing ness to prepare floats for the occa sion. It has been suggested by a lady in terested in the celebration that a number of ladies and gentlemen rid ing horseback in the parade would add to its attractiveness. Huppose some of the young ladies and gentle men get together and form a company to ride horseback, decorating their horses with a floral wreath around the horses neck. Messrs. J. P. Shuford and Charley Elam have signified their willingness to enter the tournament. The Itocs Hill Camp, Woodmen of the World, three hnmjred strong, have been Invited to hold their an nual picnic here on the Fourth and it is expected that they will accept the invitation. The following gentlemen will act as the judges of all contests on the Fourth: J. A. Carroll, W. H. Good ing and W. H. Ross. Mr. Oscar Wood will be the cflieial time-keeper. A number of young ladies have in terested themselves in behalf of the base ball team and will give a lawn party tonight at Urn park near the court house. Ice cream, oake, etc., will be served. Everybody is invited to go out and help the cause along. The reel teams will practice at the plug near the park, thus giving those who go to the entertainment an op portunity to witness their practice. In case the weather should prove inclement the ice cream supper will be served at the Hall of the Munici pal League, Mr. John Lipscomb hav ing kindly donated tho use of the hull for that purpose. Tlit) llrxl Cotton liloom. The first cotton bloom that we have seen this season waa sent to The Ledger office Tuesday by J. L. Strain, E.-q , of Etta June. It was taken from the farm of Mr. John A.

Although Cherokee county is still in her Infancy—being not quite four years old—yet she stands nobly erect and marches with the foremost in all that tends to progress and advance ment. Education is one of the vital qucs> lions of the day, and never before has it been agitated &o it now is all over our country. And Cherokee county steps to the front with our own coun ty superintendent bearing aloft the standard with this insignia : “Be act ive, be up and doing; be professional teachers!” To this end, that of ma king professional teachers in this county, has Prof. McArthur been aim ing since he was elected, nearly four years ago; and he is, in the summer school, ably assisted by Prof. Martin, still striving toward that end. Fifty-five of the teachers of this and adjoining counties have come to their support, and are rallying round their standard us true soldiers should. The teachers are full of enthusiasm, and are eager to better inform them selves as to the best methods of the great and grand art of teaching. They all have note-hooks and in them record the gist of each lesson, and we dare say they will, in aft) r yevrs, in looking over these notes recall n any Skin Diseases i When the excretory organs fail to carry off the waste materinl frun tnal accumulation of effete matter which poisons and clogs the blood, ami it Ikcouks BOUT ami acid. »m the system, there is an abnor- : , ; v ‘'-’K 7 ’ ami it Ikcouks sour and acid.

If our state superintendent basin every county in South Carolina as good superintendents to aid him in advancing the cause of education, and if their county superintendents have as able 4 corps of enthusiastic teachers as we have in Cherokee county, then, ere long, South Caro lina will have taken the lead in the march toward higher education, and illiteracy will have vanished from within the borders of our dear ola Palmetto State.
