LETS HAVE A FAIR.
Aboat a year a so this paper came
out^ article advocating the organ
isation of a county farl association
lor Cherokee oountv. We heard noth
ing of people falling over each other
to act on the suggestion: but In spite
of the fact that thi* was the case, we
desire to say again that we know of
nothing that would >e of more bene
fit to Gaffney and Cherokee county
Chan such an association. It would
bring the people of town and country
together ©noe a year, and would re
sult in closer relation t between town
and country, and while we do not be
lieve that there is any petty feeling
of prejudice between the people of
the county and the town of Gaffney,
etill anything that would tend to
bring u* closer together would be of
great benefit Again it would cause
a friendly feeling of rivalry to spring
up between our farmers, and this
f'/onld lead to better methods of farm
ing. the raising of better stock, and
Improvement in a hundred things
which could be mentioned, premiums
could be offered for the best products
in the domestic line, and thus the
women of the town and county in
terested. It would be a grand re-
uniop of all the people in the coun-
• ty once a year; and it would give us
more to look forward to. and more to
live for. Let the leading farmers In
the county get together In their re
spective communities and discuss
this question, and let Gaffney’s Board
of Trade make some definite move
towards this end, and the movement
will soon assume definite shape, and
by next fall we will be able to throw
open our gates to the people of the
county and bid them welcome to the
first annual fair of Cherokee county.
notes and comments.
A Columbia jury finds a beautiful
woman guilty of manslaughter, but
a Lexington jury could find no fault
in an assassin. We wonder what that
Lexington jury would have done for
the lady!
• • •
The Charlotte Observer. Phoenix
like, has risen from the ashes, and i*
better than ever. The Observer is
one of the very best papers In the
South and deserves everything that
is coming its way.
• • •
The police force of Gaffaey is to
be congratulated upon running down
in so short a time both the man who
took Mr. McCagldll’s suit case and
the negro who stole the trousers from
the Company Store.
The first number of the South Caro
lina Pythian is before us. It is a
bright, neatly printed paper and we
sincerely hope that it will succeed in
its mission, which is to advance the
cause of Pythlanlsm in the State.
• • •
Judging from the amount of labor
and care which is being devoted to
the chrysanthemum crop by the ladies
of the town, the «how thi* fall de
serve* to be a bowling succen. We
know of several ladies who are work
ing themselves almost to death over
their plants.
• • •
The Piedmont Observer accuses us
of being “cool and indifferent socially
towards the people of Blacksburg.”
We are ever ready and willing to do
anything within our power to bring
Gaffney and Blacksburg closer to
gether We are ready to more tb-m
meet you half way. Mr. Hardin.

If you have anything mean to say
about Bill Smith, go to Bill and say
H; don't go around telling other peo
ple bow mean BUI Is. We knew a
man once who persisted in talking
unpleasantly about a man who was
a friend of the man to wty>m he was
tailing. The man told him to stop,
but he kept on with the result that
tie was forced to go to the man about
whom he was talking; but when ha
got there he was exactly like the boy
who was run over by the calf—he had
absolutely notbing to say.
• • •
If it were possible—and Messrs.
Smith ana Jordan say it Is—to have
a fixed price for cotton, say 16 cents
per pound, then the farmer could af
ford to pay as muon for his help as
the cotton mills pay for theirs, and
he would be In a position to obtain
a better class of labor than he now
gets. There are numbers of people
in the cotton mills all over the coun
try who are there simply because
they get better pay than they could
get on a farm. A man who has been
used to farm life all of his days is to
be pitied when from force of circum
stances he is forced to shut himself
up In a cotton mill, and there are
hundreds of just such people in Cher
okee county.
• • • ^
We do not know of a town in the
State that has improved more within
the last few years than Gaffney. One
by one the old unsightly wooden
buildings on our main business street
have disappeared until now only a
very few remain, and it is to be hoped
that in a short while the last one will
have disappeared. Several of our
citizens have purchased desirable res
idence lots, and will, in the near
future, erect handsome and costly
residences thereon. The growth of
our town has been sure and steady.
We have never had a boom, and it is
to be hoped that we never will have.
It ig the town that grows slowly but
surely that finally amounts to some
thing and not the town that springs
up like a mushroom in a single night
as it were, and with equal swiftness
goes out of existence.

receive all the benefits derived from it. All the benefits
derived from earnings of the money paid in are divided
