many relatives and friends.
Mr. Spake was a man highly re-

friends, who will mourn his loss. He

of Cleveland county, North Carolina,
although removing to this State manv
j years ago. He was an example of
the successful farmer, having accumu
lated an immense estate by hD skill-
| fr' farming. As a business man he
was seldom surpassed. He was the
owner of a large amount of property
in Gaffney and Cherokee county. Mr.
Spake leaves a wife and five children,
and one son-in-law. to mourn his
death. Two children are dead. Mrs.
Spake, before her marriage, was a
Miss Blanton, of this State. The sur
viving children are: Lawson Spake,
John Spake, Joe Spab^ Mrs. Hettie
Morgan, Floyd Snake, and James
Payne, of Greenville, a son-in-law.

who was Miss Avie Spake, are dead.

Tiie Victor Cotton Oil Company de- |
dared a dividend of ten per cent, on j

are now in a condition very flattering |
the shareholders.
At a meeting of the directors of the
National Bank of Gaffney a dividend j
<>f five per cent, was declared payable, j
The bank is in a flourishing condition,
as is evidenced by this dividend.
Robert McConnel. the manager of j
the Rock Hill ball team, accompanied
his-team to the citv for the fourth of
July game. Mr. McConnel was a clev
er gentleman and Gaffney was very |
favorably impressed with him and his j
team of pleasant and clever young |
gentlemen.
At a meeting of the stockholders
of the Whittaker cotton mill, at j
Blacksburg, all the old officers were |
re-elected with the exception that A.
N. Wood was elected vice-president.
The mill was in splendid condition,
which was verv satisfactory to those
interested in its affairs.
Mr. Roy Osborne, of Blacksburg, is
now in charge of the freight office in
this city. Mr. C. T. Clary, farmerly
freight agent, having accepted a no- j
sition with the Gaffney Manufacturing j
Company. It is hoped by Mr. Os-1
borne’s friends in this citv that he j
will see fit to make his residence in i
Gaffn permanent.
Gaffney now possesses a string
band and orchestra. It is a colored
organization and fills a long felt
need in the city. Such an organiza
tion lias not existed for some time
and those desiring an orchestra have
been compelled to fall back upon
neighboring cities. The band is un
der the leadership of John Graham
and has the best talent from the local
colored music circles.
Judge Prince, when dismissing the
'""ind jury, paid a worthy compliment
L) Sheriff W. W. Thomas and Clerk
of Court I Eb. Jefferies, saying that
while lie had seen nothing of the work
of the county officers with the except
ion of these two, that if the others
measure up with them the corps was
an excellent one. He made a few
other remarks in commendation of
the integrity and carefulness of these
officers.
Negotations are pending for several
good ball games in the city in the
next few days. Gaffney now has a
good ball team, one that hasn’t lost a
single game played and no doubt can
furnish amusement for the many fans
who will doubtless turn out to see
them. Hopper, the Gaffney twirler.
is pitching in great form and with
Hamrick as catcher and other well
known local ball players in tne line
up who can be depended to accord
first class support, great sport should
be the result of the games arranged.
Mayor’s court yesterd/ay morning
presented an appearance of the morn
ing after—in this case the fourth of
July. Several cases were on docket
for disorderly conduct, the accused
ones having considered the fourth an
opportune time to make merry. Wil
son Montgomery was tried for disor
derly conduct and fined. B">b Lewis
was fined for disorderly conduct.
Dick Corry was dismissed on a simi
lar charge. The officers report the
da’' one generally peaceful, with little
of the disorder usually attending 1 such
a day.
Decidedly the social event of the
week was the reception of Miss Lulie
Potter cm Tuesday evening compli
mentary to rfer guests Misses Perry
and Williams, of Gainesville, Ga. A
number of guests were present to
share in the delightful events of the
evening. Misses Williams. Perry. Lu-
and Bessie Potter formed the re
ceiving party. Miss Pearl Crawley
presided at the punch how) in he.r
usual graceful and charming way.
Delightful music was rendered by
the Gaffney orchestra. Delicious re
freshments were served by Misses
Lula Mae Littlejohn and Eloise Pot
ter.
An event of widespread interest in
Cherokee county and one that is caus
ing not a little anticipation, is the pic
nic that is to occur at Mt. Paran on
the 20th inst. The day will undoubt
edly be a great day for those fortu
nate enough to enjoy it. The
good people of Mt. Paran are noted
for their hospitality, especially on the
occasion of a picnic, and all of this
hospitality will be in evidence on the
date mentioned. The day will be one
in which eloquent political speeches
will also figure, as Congressman D. E.
Finley an i Ex-Congressman Strait,
who is Mr.‘Finley’s opponent for Con
gress, have accepted invitations to
be present. Congressman Webb, of
North Carolina, has -also accepted an
invitation to deliver a sneech. Sena
tor Tillman and the candHat'" for the
various county offices have also been
invited to be present. The dav will
lie one filled with speeches, delicious
eatables and a thoroughly delightful
time. A large crowd will doubtless
attend from this city, while all parts
of the county will probably send del
egates to add to the quote of fun.

In Honor of Judge Prince.
Tuesday evening Mr. J. C. Jefferies
tendered a supper to the members of
the Gaffney bar at which Judge Prince
was the guest of honor. The spread
was typical of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferies
in that it consisted of enough good
things to satisfy the most fastidious,
and it was served in a charming man
ner. Those fortunate enough to be
present were delightfully entertained
and retired to their homes voting Mr.
and Mrs. Jefferies ’'head-liners” when
it comes to entertaining.
