Dear Mr. Page:
Upon, looking over the news

pleasure of inspecting 'several
issues of your newspaper The
Kings Mountain Herald and ta
ke this occasion to let you know
that The Herald is fully up .o
the standard o.f the best weekly
newspapers that come to our at
tention. Believe that yon are giving
yonr constituents a newspaper
which. .will deserve the patron
age which they give you iu ycur
work.- .. , ' "- ; - '' ;
With best wishes, I am,
Yours very truly,

The Old Monument on the Kings Mountain
Battleground,
will the new road be
Heady for the seventh?
' If we never made any mistakes
we would never have the oppor
tunity to let people know that
wo were willing to correct thtm.
V WANTED you to know that if
you' are interested in the history
Ot Uhribt.lan . Mauney . and his
generations and of Ti you county
you can't afford to bo witho-jt a
copy of the ' scory : . We have
t'leuvon a 12X18 sheet at 10c
each( $1.00 "per dozep,f by msil
12o each, $1.10 oer dosen.
Will the uew road conrecting
the Battleground road with the
battlefield be tiiiishedby Oclo'ier
7th? 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. 'I f t h e a 1 'l
parties concerned will put some
body in the lead the work will
go light along.

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.
