An affirmative answer to this question Mill mean much to the success of the celebration, and it looks possible now that it may be done. The material has, been placed on the site for the new bridge and people seem anxious to have the work done as soon as possible. The lum ber company of Pursley & Falls operating not far from i he bridge site sawed the timbers for. the bridpe, giving part uf it and York county paying for part. That part of the road from the state Hue to the creek is to be built by the people of Kings Mountain and those in the neigh borhood of the road. It is about a quarter of a mile in length and goes main'y through the open tieli of Mrs. Ujbnrt Hambright. It touches slightly tho lands of Beat Hambright and Charley! Hambright. . There is a short! distance on tho hill of the creek approaching the' bridge that will require considerable work, other wise the road will bo easily built. Between the bridge' and the intersection or the new road with the Shelly road, a distance of about u quarter of a mile, the people of Kings Mountain town ship will build. And from whore their work ends oa to the battle field, a distance of about a mile, Yo-k county is to build. With so mrny to do the work it is hoped tl-at they" will get it at. completed so that visitors may be taKen to the battleground over it on the Seventh. The thing most necessary now i leadership.

CELEBRATION IS OF 1L Commcmorrates the turning point of The American Revolution in favor of the Americans. The celobiation of the liilith anniversary ot the famous battle of Kings Mountain wli'ch was the turning point of tho Ameri can Revolution ;n favor of tli- freedom of the colonies from British ruh, lo be held in the town of Kings Mountain on Oc tober 7th is expecl.'d to claim the attention of pcopie a'l over the nation This annual evont has become a fixture ind iieople far and near have learned to look forward to it. It is an event of no small import when it has brought forth such men as William Jennings Bryan and ex Govcrnor Folk of Missouri as speakers, and this year to have such a prominent character as Governor St'iart of Virginia to deliver the principal address. It's an event in which all Ameri cans are interested because this battlefield is one of the mile post i mi the. bloody road from British tyranny to American free Ion: a id is so near iu point of time ai.d distance to where 0c John Bull laid down Ins arms before the outspread wings of the American Eagle. It is of interest beciusc the tide of the war found its turning on tins ruirged mountain and there brave Colonel Ferguson fell and his ai'iny was either killed orcaptur- -ed It is a privileero to be able to 'attend these celebratiins and to be reminded of the patriotism, loyalty and heroism of those who fought so successfully and many lii'l down their lives that this occasion might bo possible.
