To the Limestone College girls: “Good bye, little girl, good bye.” * * * The Japs can truly say: “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.’’ * • • How about that Fourth of July cele bration? If we intend doing anything ills about time we get at it. • • • Captain Farmer has been engaged in a bitter warfare with General Green during the past week, and the conse quence is that General Green has met with a backset. • • • To >*wr mind the business men of Gaffney have done the proper thing in regard to the new depot. The rail road company may not build us a de pot soon but it is certain and sure that they will not build it as soon as they intend if we show a disposition to squabble among ourselves. * * » Remember the commencement ex ercises of the Blacksburg Graded School which commences tomorrow and will continue Sunday and Mon day. Prof. Pfeiffer has an open hand and a warm heart for all and extends' a cordial invitation to attend these exercises. * • • The Columbia State says “the Co lumbia team is the Rejestvensky of baseballdom.” We don't know what that )*, hut if Manager Billey Earl and his team are entitled to be called game cocks they will stick a two-and-a-quar- ter inch gaff into The State’s vitals. * * * Lest we forget it entirely we desire to say that the 2rtth of May edition of the Charlotte Evening Chronicle was a most creditable journalistic perfor mance. It contained twenty pages of; the most interesting Southern indus trial matter that has come from the | press of a Southern publication in : quite a while and it should bear fruit. * • * If we did not think Gaffney was the best place on earth to live in we would hang out a red flag and have the auc tioneer to cry a sale and then decamp to some place that suited our tastes better. There may be better places and better people but it will take a good deal to convince us of the fact. Therefore, if you contemplate chang ing your residence we would suggest that you make a mistake unless, you bear Gaffney in mind and give its ex cellent. climate, pure water and its social and religious advantages con sideration. • • • The North Carolina State Press As sociation will meet at Asheville July .>th and «th and the Tar Heels have invited the Virginia and South Caro lina pencil pushers to “Jine ’em.” The invitation has been accepted and the Charlotte Observer rises to re mark that “the promise at present is for a very' high-heeled time.” We wonder if visions of White Stone still linger with the Old Man of the Ob server? • * * Greenville county is preparing to take a fall out of the dispensary, as i.-, also Cnion, Spartanburg, York and Newberry. The Newberry Herald and News admits that the sentiment in Newberry against the dispensary is growing. Those who have taken the precaution to keep an ear lo the ground have all along heard the un mistakable rumbling of the earth quake that will inevitably follow such an outrageous system. Sooner or lat er the people of South Carolina will as sert their rights regardless of howl ing demagogues and self-aggrandiz ing politicians. * • • The following from the Sumter Herald, if applied locally, would hit s>.me people so hard that they would think they had been struck by the business end of a mule should they ever live to recover: Quit “croaking” and talk up your town. If your town does not suit you move out to some other place. If you imagine the city cannot get along without you and your flambast- ed kicking, just get straddle of the cross ties, say farewell, and see if Chief of Police Bradford will ask Judge Hurst to issue an injunction to keep you from getting away. No man will be hugged to death by beautiful women weeping on his shoulder try ing to keep him from leaving town. As ,a matter of fact the average girl does not care to leave town. She is only interested in those who stay here. That is where her candv and ice cream comes in at. It is pretty hard to get a good looking girl to hug you anyhow, or for that matter to let you hug her. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. SHORT LOCALS. $100 Reward, $100.
