Union and Piedmont.

Saturday afternoon, the home team
badly defeating the Piedmontese.
The score was 16 to 8. Up to the
eighth inning it looked as if Piedmont
was going to be shut out" If this is
really the Gaffney team, then its back
ers must have gotten pretty badly
hurt.

Saturday was, as usual, a most enjoy
able affair, and largely attended, Con-

and Representative Thomas F. Nc
Dow made a short talk on the pleas
ures and benefits to be derived from
such gatherings as assembled at our
York county picnics. Representative
H. E. Johnson made short speech,
and Mr.. James Cansler also delivered
a characteristic talk. There was an
abundance of goood things to eat and
the young people had delightful time
generally.
