Things You Ought to Know. Did you know that in the various orphan institutions in South Caro lina, above seven hundred orphans are gathered for educational purpos- i es? Did you know that it cost an average of at least five dollars a month to provide for each one of these? Did you know that the summer time, when other people are living in plenty, is usually the hardest time of the year with our orphans, and in every case the institution treas- uries are empty? Did you know that contributions of flour, rice, meal, molasses, bacon, and other groceries are as acceptable jas cash? ,, . ...... , Did you know that all of these or- would have gone to the bottom. phan children, are the children of John Mapper, a negro fisherman, your deceased brothers and sisters? negro was drowned Tuesday morning in the Saluda river just below the old dam about a mile and a half below Colum- Did you know that if you failed to help them, they will surely suffer?

In fact we feel that our people are fully informed as to the meaning of these occasions which bring them together. So far as we saw or heard not one thing oc curred in all that large concourse of pople to in any way mar the pleasure of the occasion. It w-as in all respects an ideal celebration—one which ad ded another bright chapter to histor ic Limestone and Gaffney, to say nothing of Cherokee county and the surrounding country. Everybody it seemed was there and wanted to see everybody else there, too, and en joying themselves. The merchant closed bis store, the law r yer his office, the banker his counting room, the mechanic his shop, the teacher his or her school, the edi tor quit his chair, the operative his mill work, and for the time being the husbandman his farm, and all joined in one good celebration of the great est of all days in American history. Young and old, male and female, all conditions of life, were present in their happiest mood and gave expres sion to their feelings in whatever way they chose. The grounds were nicely arranged for the comfort of the visi tors. The national colors floated gracefully and proudly from various offices in town and public buildings and private residences along the line of march to the grounds at Limestone Springs, where the speakers’ stand was beautifully decorated with the colors of red, white and blue. Here our distinguished U. S. Senator, Hon. A. C. Latimer, and our worthy repre sentative in congress, Hon. I). E. Fin ley, together with his distinguished competitor for congressional honors, Hon. T. Yancey Williams, addressed immense audiences on matters apper taining to the occasion. Fine music added much to the occasion and all went well so far as we could see or find out. The ubiquitous county candidate w T as present but he didn’t lose his identity as a celebrant of the occa sion. The western and southwestern portions of the college campus, taken with Limestone park, form a kind of amphitheatre which afforded specta tors a fine opportunity to see all that was going on about the grounds. Here resting under the shade of the trees were acres of human beings, the very picture of life, health, hope and con tentment—made up of the beauty, the gallantry and the yeomanry of Cherokee and her sister counties of this State and North Carolina. As we strolled leisurely through these historic grounds, perhaps the least observed of all observers, our thoughts naturally went back to the days of Limestone when some of the first ladies of the land got their edu cation and whose lives we see repro duced in their children and their children’s children of today. In our peregrinations we passed from one group to another, or from one couple to another and we met young men and young women who had some time called their attention. All feeble attempts at journalism or ask about something to which we have at sometime called their atention. All this is the more pleasant to us when we find that intent has been taken for the act. We regret to learn that Alberry, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Bratton, is lying very low with heart disease, ami is not expected to live. Farmers are laying by their crops as fast as they can do so. There is no mistake about it, we have the best crop prospect now that, we have had in ten years at this season of the year.

The thanks of the Salem people are due Mr. W. R, Walker for a liberal contribution to help build an iron fence around the graveyard. Mr. Walker has no one buried there and perhaps never will have a relative put there, but he is always ready with his money to help in any good work. If this county were peopled with more such men as he is the waste places would sixui be reclaimed and built up. Rev. W. H. White pfeached at Sa lem last Sabbath to a largo and one - of the beat behaved congregations we have seen there in a long time. One of the best things we have heard of lately took place in a neigh boring county, and as this is election year we can take the liberty with the people and the candidates to mention it, omitting names. A man called at the chain gang headquarters and be gan asking the overseer about his methods of work, the expenses of the chain gang and several questions along that line, taking care to score the supervisor ami county commis sioners for keeping such expenses on the county.

Some of the Daughters of Zion were ap pointed to make a flag six by nine feet and it will be forwarded in a few days. The Jewish flag is of fiv. rate of 70 miles an hour, it ran into a work train near Ruffin, in Rocking ham county, which was engaged in collecting the debris of a freight wreck a few days ago at that point. | Five of the work train cars were de molished, the engine of 97 NO LONGER “BOSS.” Accept Our Delegates Declined to Tillman’s Sugestion.

It is the easiest thing in the world to stop catarrh at its beginning if you use Hyomei. Just breath the health-giving, balsamic air for a few minutes and your catarrh will be cured. In this city and neighboring towns, there are hnndreds who can testify to the remarkable powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh. Many of the staunchest friends of this remedy to day began its use with little hope that they would be cured, but as Gaffney Drug Co. offered to refund the money if it did not cure, they decided to try it on that plan, and were soon re stored to health.
