Board of Trade words of Dr. Lodge last night. His
W. C. Hamrick President j wor( j s couched In the purest Eng-
J. C. Otts Secretary must have been an inspiration
to the young ladies whom he Is send-
! Only the present Is eternal. He Is
the educated nta n who having gone
' out from the present brings back to
it the future and the past. So man
becomes a child again, living in the
present,—a present made wonderful
like the Heavenly City because the
Kings of Time have brought their
glory and their honor into it.
There are two golden ages and the
better one is yet to come. Any one
can write of his lost youth but our
vision is of things to he—a vision of
eternal youth.
From the pleasant valleys of child
hood whence you have come “over
the hills and far away,” through the
hastening shorHenlng years to this
high place of vision, we greet you
on your commencement day. stand

of the sea—■
“Silent o n a peak in Darien.”
Miss Higley, the voice teacher, at
the close of Prof. Wilbur’s address
favored the audience with the “Aria
from Merry Wives of Windsor,”
which was greatly enjoyed. Then
Dr. Lodge, in eloquent and soul-stir
ring words, took leave of the graduat
ing class. We have heard many
eloquent speakers, and have on more
than one occasion been deeply affect
ed by words which have fallen from
the ilp s of emotional orators; but
never in the whole course of our life
have we been so impressed as by the
FOR GREATER GAFFNEY.
The Gaffney Board of Trade has
been quietly at work, and has ar
ranged to publish a page advertise
ment in the “Expert Edition’’ of The
State. Several matters affecting the
material interest of Gaffney are be
ing taken up. The board of direct
ors have had several meetings; a
manufacturing enterprise Is hunting
for a Southern location, and every
nerve is being exerted to locate it
here. Mr. Otts says if any man has
a site to offer, he will be glad for,
him to call and let him know on
what terms, etc. It is hoped to have
the parties i n interest visit Gaffney
at an early day.
Mr. Anderson Thomas came to the
assistance of the hoard last week,
and by hi» work, a write-up of Gaff
ney will he printed in one of the
leading magazines of the country at
an early day.
Messrs. Wood, Carroll and J. N.
Lipscomb will call on the business
me n of the town in a few days solicit
ing funds for the purpose of advertis
ing Gaffney. I et every man respond.
Gaffney needs more than anything
else a long pull, and all pulling to
gether, for a greater Gaffney. We
have advantages over any other town
in the State, or out of the Sate. We
must place them before the public.
This is an age of publicity; our un
told advantages must be placed be
fore the public. So get in line; and
let us all pull for a greater Gaffney.
Below is a list of the members.
If your name is not on this list, see
that it is placed there at once: J.

ing out into the world to carve out
a career for themselves. His tribute
to the South was grand and glorious;
and r hen he touched uj>on this theme
every one within the sound of his
voice was visibly affected. Dr. Lodge,
although he came to Gaffney from
the Columbian T’niversity at Wash
ington. is intensely Southern in every
fibre of his being; and he never lets
an opportunity pass for impressing
this fact upon his hearers.
The name s of the young ladies who
graduated last night are as follow's:

It is with sincere regret that Gaff
ney bids farewell to these charming
young ladles, who have been with us
for the past four years, and in the
words of the poet we say to them:
“May sweetest flowers deck the way,
Where’er In life your path may he,
And heaven’s brightest, fairest day
Reign over you eternally."

The literal realization of Tennyson’*
dream of a “parliament of man” is one
of the things which the National Arbi
tration and Peace congress, to be held
in April at Carnegie hall, New York,
hopes to accomplish. The Interparlia
mentary union, which met in London
last year, recommended -a yearly in
ternational congress to diacoss sub
jects of international politics, and the
coming congress, aa Mrs. Lucia Ames
Mead informs the League For Polit
ical Education, wants to get the Unit
ed States government to Indorse this
proposition.
“Such a world’s parliament should
meet in Geneva, I think," said Mrs.
Mead. “That would be a better place

Wllklnaville, iVDay 29.—For want of
space last week our report of the
memorial meeting at Salem on the
18th inst., was necessarily precluded.
However, the meeting was held and
the graves decorated. Hon. J. C.
Otts made an excellent address on
the occasion and another chapter
was added to the history of old Sa
lem. Dr. Mason W. Smith, of Gaff
ney, surgeon of Camp Jefferies U.
C. veterans, was present and took
part in the exercises. Flowers were
both plentiful and beautiful and
lovely women and girls were there
to strew them on the graves of the
Confederate dead.
The cool weather s|fill continues
much to the annoyance of the cotton
growers who have most of their crop
chopped to a stand. The plants look
sickly. Corn is growing finely and
we have fairly good stands. Oats
are looking very well hut wheat is
almost a failure. Cotton on gray
land in doing very little good in some
places, the stand is poor besides It
Is dying out.
Rev. .1. L. Oats, of Hickory Grove,
will preach at Salem on the second
Sabbath In June, the 9th inst., at
3:30 p. m. The public is invited to
attend.
We spent, last Monday with Mr.
W. R. Walker on his Sunnysitie
farm. This is one of the choicest
farms in Cherokee county if not in
upper South Carolina. Mr. Walker,
as our readers are aware, is one of
the most progressive men In the
country. His stock farm has gained
notoriety throughout the Southern
States, and it well deserves It. He
has 3,000 acres of land—most of
which is enclosed. He has thirty-
five miles of wire fencing which has
eost him in the neighborhood of one
hundred dollars per mile, ft’s made
both strong and close. He has about
300 head of cattle and his hogs are
of the best breeds to he found In
this country and in England. He has
sold over $500 worth of pigs and
(ninety-one beeves within the last
few weeks and he has plenty more
of both on hand. He has soid hogs
in five different States and has or
ders coming in continually. He
plants no cotton. He cultivates the
different kinds of grass for pasture
and raises all the grain he needs.
He never has any corn to buy. He
has in one field alone forty acres
that is prepared (ike a plant bed.
It’s plonged deep and sub soiled and
manured broadcast. The stumps are
all taken out so that, he can cultivate
it with the most Improved farming
impliments. It looks like a great
big garden. Mr. Wade Elmore Is his
foreman on the farm and everything
about It. is system. His land fronts
on Broad river for uearly four miles
and fully that much on Pacolet. To
bring this farm up to its high state
of cultivation has cost Mr. Walker
thousands of dollars—all of which
he considers well spent. It has often
been said that it would break him
up, but Will Walker knows his own
business and don’t need a guardian
or adviser. His farm shows that
should the new power dam now talk
ed of he built It will ruin this Im
mensely valuable farm. It would at
least, take four hundred or five hun
dred acres of his choicest bottom
lands and render the rest practically
valuless for his purposes. Mr. Wal-
er will not soil his land or any part
of it for a sum the promoters can
well afford to pay. Besides, he says
It will ruin the health of the country
and make all this section uninhabit
able.
The decision of Judge Brawley In
the peonage case in the United
States court the other day will be
read by farmers with a great deal of
surprise atid we might say indigna
tion. But, nevertheless, taking every
thing into consideration. Its the
strongest paper from a constitutional
standpoint we have read in many a
day. However much we may think
it a severe blow at the farming In
terest of this country, it will stand
the test In the upper courts and be
the means of putting the farmers in
better shape to control labor and

An Appendicitis Scrapbook.
Probably the oddest scrapbook in
New England Is that of William F.
Pernald of Old Orchard, Me. It Is de
voted exclusively to newspaper notices
of appendicitis cases. Mr. Femald
figured in an operation himself, and it
was a fellow feeling for the rest of the
appendicitis legion which made him
commence to collect clippings.
“Awhile ago,” he said to a Boston
Herald man, “I talked of organizing ai.
appendicitis club in Maine, Its mem
bers to l»e composed of persons who
have been under the knife. A number
of persons to whom I mentioned tbe
project approved, but I didn’t get
around to carrying it into execution.
I think I shall revive tbe scheme.”

Better Shoes

Japanese For Canada.
A scheme Is on foot for creating a
Japanese agricultural colony in tbe
heart of Alberta, Canada, says tbe
China Telegraph. Well to do Japanese
farmers are to be taken out, according
to tbe project, and they will turn their
attention to the raising of wheat and
tbe cultivation of sugar beets and any
thing else wiiicb will thrive in the |
climate. Thu necessary negotiations
are l>elng carried out by B. R. Naga- ;
tany, who represents a group of capi
talists. and bis proposal Is to purchase
a tract of 50.000 acres from the Cana
dian Pacific railway. Mr. Nagatnny
has already spent four years In Cana
da in the study of the conditions there,
and if he is able to carry bis scheme to
success he intends to return to the Do
minion in the autumn to complete tbe .
arrangements.
Since the conception of our new method of selling
Shoes direct from raw hide to retailor, our strongest
claim has been that we produce better Shoes for less
money, or superosity in both quality and price. No
Shoe concern in the world has equal facilities for eontroll-
ing these two essentials. There is just one big reason
why we are growing faster than any other Shoe house
ever grew. That is because the Hide to Retailor propo
sition is wholly different, and we can demonstrate our
claims with good substantial reasons that are different
and tha« are backed up by facts.
