The People of Town »nd Country Having Shown Their Patriotism and Mingled With Their Friends, Have Resumed Their Work With an Added Impetus. Tbe “Glorious Fourth" has come and gone, Gaffney has done herself proud. The celebration was an unqualified success Every one had a kind word for the committee and tbe results of their labors. Even the “knockers" “went away back and sat down." The crowd was immense; conservative estimates put it at five to seven thousand, and it was very orderly, good natured and jolly, as Cherokee’s crowds always are. The day was very warm, but other wise it was an ideal one. Early in the morning tbe people began to come in from every direction of the county, while every train that stop ped at Gaffney the day before and Friday morning brought visitors to the celebration. The nurude was formed in the square fronting the National Bank. It was quite creditable. Tbe floats were not as numerous as they should have been but they were decidedly pretty and ^fleeted credit upon their designers. The decorated vehicles were as pretty as any seen in a metropolitan city and showed rare taste and decorative skill. JiKSome features of the parade were, O. £. Wilkins’ elephant, Bristow, McAllister & Beeler’s “Long and Short of it." Parker .fe Tolleson’s bicycle lloat, and the decorated wheel of ’ Tol” Parker, and Ed. Dur ham, the clown. Another feature that attracted the attention of those along the line of march from the square to the court house was the ‘Ruby Band.” The procession was headed by the Forest City K. of P. baud, which discoursed excellent music along the line of march and at the grounds. Our former fellow citizen, Mr. K. J. Barnett, is the manager of this band and he deserves a great deal of praise for the excellent showing the boys made. Just here we wish to say that the committee sincerely regrets that they had so much to attend to that they could not give the members of the band a more cordial personal re ception, but at the same time they appreciate to an immense degree the very valuable and acceptable services rendered by the Forest City musi cians. The judges of the II ;ats and decora ted vehicles and also of the contests were: J. O. Jeff ries, K*q . \V. C. Carpenter, L Baker and R A. Jones. Tbe judges a tor led the prizes as follows: Finest float—Cherokee Com mission Co., P. V. Gaffney, manager; second prize to the Mutual Life in surance Co., R C. Lipscomb, resi dent agent. Special mention of the beautiful floats of S. B. Crawley A Co., and The Ledger were also made The first prize for the most beautiful decorated vehicle went to Mrs. H 1) V\ h*mt, while the second prize went to Mrs. J. C.'Lipscomb Both these vehicles were lovely and it was a difficult matter for the judges to de cide. Mr. KI. Byers also had a pretty decorated vehicle in line. Arriving at the grounds the first event on the program was the speech of Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden. Mr Smith was happily introduced by Capt. J. B. Bell, chairman of the committee on oratory. Mr. Smith entered heartily into the tatk set before him and made one of the pret tiest speeches ever delivered in the historic old grove, lie paid a splen did tribute to the enterprise and energy of Cherokee and dealt in statistics that brought forth generous applause. His speech was atten tively listened to by u great crowd and he was time and again interrupted by applause. After the speech of Mr. Smith the crowd repaired to the race track vhere the sports wire witnessed. The contests rerulted as follows; 1st race—One-fourth mile bicycle * ace, won by Derblo Littlej ihn; 2od race—One mile, won by Will Sarratt; ‘Ird race—three miles, won by Ed. Durham with Will Darby a close second; Dh race—one-half mile, won hy Will Sarratt; 5th race—one-half mile, won by Ed. Durham. The greasy pig was caught by Jimmy Clary, and the lamb was caught by Birdie Phillips Pet Littlejohn won the barrel race. Hiram Wessiuger and Olie Martin divided the money in the foot race. John McClinton won the second barrel race. Pet Littlejohn won the third barrel race. Emmet Parish climbed the greasy pole and got the prize money. The event of the day in athletics was the baseball game between Blacksburg and Gaffney. The Black Birds jumped on the Red Skins in the first inning like a duck on a June bug and tore oil their scalps and scam pered around like two year old colts. And they kept it up for three or four Innings, until it began to look Ftce they would have no mercy whatever upon the Indians. It looked for a time as if the boys from beyond the Broad would have a complete walk over, but about the seventh inning a Black Bird threw the ball away and four Indians scored in that inning. In the eighth the score was tied and l in the ninth the Indians bad one to their credit, but the Black Birds lit on to Pitcher Little in the ninth and pounded him for a home run and a three bagger, which netted them ten runs, the game ending by a score of nine to ten in favor of our neighbors. The game abounded in errors by both teams, but it was exciting and the 1,500 people who saw it were de lighted. Chief Marshall A. B. Gaines rode at the head of the procession and performed his duties in an ac ceptable manner. The little ladies who rode in the floats made perfect pictures. The committee dissolves today with the consciousness of having per formed thejr duty as men and loyal citizens, despite many handicaps. Doubtless the best answer to al! crit- ichme!|and aspersions is the fact of the celebration attaining such an un- preceden'ed success and the knowl edge that the vast majority went away highly pleased. Three Marriages. On Saturday evening last at 8:30 in the ladies parlor of the First Bap tist church Miss Annie Bfown and Mr. Charles Humphries, two of the brightest and best known young peo ple of Gaffney, were united in mar riage. The wedding was very quiet and informal. Only a few select friends were present. Rev. Arch C. Cree, tbe pastor of the church, offi ciated. The couple have received several beautiful presents. Mr. \V. H. Wilkerson and Miss Belle Bridges were married last Wednesday evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr and Mrs. W. M. Bridges, in this city, by Rev. J. B. Bozeman. Mr. and Mrs. Wilker son are of Gaffney’s most worthy and popular young people and have the good wishes of a host of friends, in cluding The Ledger, for their future happines and welfare. E. A. French, formerly designer at the Gaffney Manufacturing Com pany’s mill, and Miss Edna Graham were married recently by Rev. J. B. Bozeman. Arr.-i.t.-il for AhhhuK anil ltatt<-r,v.

After the arrest Constable Al lison conferred with Magistrate Bridges by phone and was instructed to hold Turner. He then committed him to jail but in a short time he was granted bail hv Magistrate Hall in the sum of iji500. The bond was readily furnished and Mr. Turner was •released.
