THE FOUR! H OF JULY.
It is the Consensus of Opinion That (ialTncy
Should Celebrate.
The committee that has had in
charge the last few Fourth of .July
celebrations hud determined that if
Gaffney did any more celebrating
some one else would have to do the
managing of it. The Ledger had de
termined not to agitate the subject
this year, but si many people have
made enquiries that we h ive thought
it would not he amiss to have a little
quiet celebration along the lines laid
down by some of those who have
talked on the subject.
Said one: ‘‘It will not do for Gaff
ney to take a back seat now in the
matter of celebrating the Fourth of j
July. Our people have come to look
upon this event as a fixture. It is
not necessary to have a big thing. I
wou d suggest inviting some promi
nent speaker, a barbecue and a base
ball game ”
Another said: “Surely we ought j
to keep it up. Invite Governor Hey
ward and Governor Aycock, of North
Carolina, give a basket picnic and
have a game of bail. The people in
the county expect it and we ought to
have some kind of a celebration.”
Tne Ledger Is always in for a cele
bration and is willing to lend any aid
it possibly can toward making it a
success. If the people of Gaffney and
Cherokee want to celebrate we are
perfectly willing, but we have no de
sire to take the initiative in the mat
ter. In order to test the sentiment
ot the people we would suggest that a
meeting be held this evening at
8 :00 o’clock in the city hail to discuss
the advisability of having a celebra
tion. Let everybody interested at
tend, and let those who oppose a cele
bration attend, also. There is no
use to go into a thing of this kind
unless we can go with a united front,
and there is no nse to undertake it if
there is to be opposition.
Transferred to Columbia
The Southern Railway Company
have discontinued the division freight
office of the former O. R & C. R R.
at Blacksburg, and hereafter the busi
ness will be consoldiated and trans- 1
acted at the office of the Southern.
This action on the part ot the South
ern is probably in line with good bus
iness methods, but it means a dis
tinct loss to our neighbor, as it re
moves a number of most desirable
citizens. Among those effected is
Don Lumpkin, than whom there is
no more efficient or justly popular
railroad attacbee in this section.
Mr. Lumpkin Has been connected
with the division freight office of the
O. R. & C. for ten years, seven of
which he served under his father, and
three under Mr. Shaw. Mr. Lump
kin’s numerous friends will be pleased
to learn that he is to be taken care of
by the Southern, but will sincerely
regret to know that his post will here
after be elsewhere. He has been
transferred to Columbia, where he
takes a position in the division freight
office. Columbians will find Mr.
Lumpkin is a quiet, unassuming gen
tleman, devoid of hauteur, pleasing
and accommodating. Blacksburg and
Gaffney and in fact the towns along
the line of the old O. R. & C. will re
gret to part with Mr. Lumpkin. In
all this section he has made many
warm friends and it is with pangs of
regret that they part With him, but
in his new home he will carry their
sincerest wishes for future prosperity
and happiness.
