A feature of the day will be the balloon ascensions, several of which will be sent up in the morning and others in the afternoon.

A man of this sort should exercise his right of citizen ship in its highest sense. He should be patriotic in the highest degree. His allegiance to his government and State should be above question, and above all his loyalty to his town should be perfect. Instead of being a "kicker” he should take the oppor tunity to reprove those who indulge in this most reprehensible practice in his presence.

There is going to be Childrens Day at Draytonville the fourth Sunday. Everybody is invited to come and bring well filled baskets and enjoy themselves with the Draytonville folks. u AVe are wondering who of the R. F. D. carriers is going to get the first prize. We hope our carrier, Air. Forest Huggins, will get it, for he deserves it, if anybody does. He is a good mail carrier and is kind to his patrons. We were sorry to heap of the death of Mr. Bud Wood, who lives up in the Aland neighborhood. Air. wiood had been in bad health for some months. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss. He was the father of Dr. I. A. Wood, dentist, who once lived in Gaffney. Mr. AVood was well known in Gaffney and had many friends. His wife and children have the sympathy of their many friends. Air.
