He is so stuck on Orange burg that we wanted bim here so we could show him that there were others. However, we hope to soon learn of his recovery and to some day have him with us. It is indeed a source of much grati fication to learn there is absolutely no truth in the reported coolness be tween Col. Ike Smith and Mayor Gra ham, of Thickety. When Mayor Gra ham condescends to loan Col. Smith his dress suit and Col$ Smith succeeds in getting into it there can be no question about Col. Smith s having swunk” some in his own imagina tion. It was a down right shame to start that lie, anyway. • • • Gaffney has several devotes of the fascinating game ot checkers. Some of them are real good players. We would like to call their attention to the column in the Columbia State of Sunday which is devoted to that sport.

A pe rusal of this column will prove of great benefit to the players of Gaff- <ney. Attention is also directed to the prize offer. business visitor to the city W-'.’dnes- day.
