Contributed. i The exhibit of the city schools at tho Abbeville Fair last week was au advance 1 from tho educational exhibits at the Abbeville Fair which was hold several years ago, and the difference marked the evidence of distinct progress along the ( educational training of our boys and girls for the activities and duties of the 1 better life. 1 The Superintendent of our schools, Mr. Bradley, is by nature eminently qualified ' for the work upon which lie has entered. ! His study, his reading, and weeks spent 1 at the Educational meeting at Knoxville ' last Samiuer all combine to prepare him and to inspire for achievement in tho highest discharge of the important duties 1 of his office. These facts together with the co-operation of an increased number 1 of able and efficient teachers lead us to 1 believe that this scholastic year will be 1 the most successful in the history of Abbeville's educational interests. We have a new high school building for white 1 children and a fine new school building 1 for colored children. And now teachers 1 have boon added to support the demand 1 of an increased school attendance. 1 At the other Fair the schools had an 1 exhibit which was limited to compositions, examination papers, written spelling, ect. At the Fair last week, in addition to these 1 things, the exhibit presented an industrial air which while bearing the highest evidence of tlie taste, the ability 'and the skill of the contesting artists was pleasing to look upon. It seems that teachers are beginning to encourage pupils to train their hands as well as their minds. They recognize the fact that both the mind and ; I the hand must be trained together. One j trained without the other is only half an I education. It is good to see that Abbeville's schools are abreast with the modern education ' movement, which movement is education : for efficiency and useful activity. j Xo two children have the same talent. Some are satisfied to trudge along and j study any thing their teachers and parents ' may require of them whllo others have 1 not the concentration necessary to training thoir minds and must be appealed to through a more concrete medium. I Children, like men, are incllnod to do things and a child is just as proud of having accomplished something as is an ( | older person at having brought to a satisfactory finish some onerous task on which [ he may have worked for days, j A mechanic who completes a splendid engine, a lawyer who untangles a diffl- ' cult or perplexing legal question, a carpenter who builds a beautiful table, a doctor who makes a correct diagnosis and a successful cure, cannot feel prouder of his accomplishments than does a school boy or girl at having accomplished something definite and tangible: iust, as nun! success in the life of a man|!is an earnest of others and later achievements, so it is in children. One accomplishment urges! the child to another and a greater accoux-| pilshinent. This story is told of a little girl in j another school who seemingly could not I succeed. Her teacher had done every J thing that she could to encourage the i child to effort, and yet the vitalizing spark in the little life hail not been touched. Finally the teacher discovered that this particular little girl could sing.

The little girl immediately began to take an interest in all of her studies. She Improved in her studies and soon stood at the head. She excelled. People are doing things all around us. Every where Industrie:} are in full blast This is an industrial age and not an ago :>f court courtiers. Education in its correct sense means not only cramming the mind with dates and facts and Geometry find Physics and Latin and German, but Education today means the litting or our boys and girls for citizenship, and the school that "does this accomplishes its purpose. The school that does not do this falls short of its possibilites. It is good to see boys and girls doing things. Not long since a young man, in the prime of life said something like this: 'I attended the schools in my boyhood days. In a sort of aimless way, I was prepared for college according to the prescribed studies; I atteuded college, received a diploma, and returned home. When I arrived at home I had nothing but my hands with which to work, and I could rlo no more with them after I went to ?ollege than I eould before. When I was graduated from college my hands were untrained. They needed education for efficiency. While my literary training is a treasure to me and is invaluable, yet [ wish I had received additional training along lines of industry." Among the shool exhibits were baskets of rafia made by the children, paper cutting, stenciled book satchels, baskets made of shucks, baskets made of pine needles, 6and tables illustrating Indian life, ink drawings, maps in water colors, Abbeville District maps, County maps, State maps, picture frames of rafla. The Mill School had an exhibit that was splendid. All the work was good. Especially that of the varnished thread, was a credit alike to the school and to the scholars. In order to keep fully up with the times the teachers should be furnished with tools for wood work. The modern schools are, as a rule, furnished with such tools and the manual training derived from such work is in* valuable. Colored State Fair Meets in Columbia November 7 to 12.

Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 26,1910. Mr. Bradley Reese ia the happiest man between Abbeville and Oxford, Miss., for which place he left last Monday, accompanied by his friend and best man Mr. Albert Henry of this city. Mr. Reese will this Wednesday evening, October 26th, at 7:30 o'clock lead to flyman's altar one of Mississippi's fairest and most cultured young ladies as his "bonny bride." Mr. Reese js one of Abbeville's'progressive and prosperous merchants and altogether a youiig man of sterling worth, having the respect and highest esteem of every one. In manner he is affable, courteous and polite and moves in a large circle of friends, and now that he has taken the one "wise step" he has the hearty congratulations of hosts of friends, ail of whom will give to his charming bride a hearty and cordial welcome ?whom we are glad to number now as an At bevillian?one of us. Magazine Hill on a "boom"! We understand from a most reliable source that Judge Gary positively refused a few days ago the snug sum of $13,500 for his MeGowan property on this historic hill, which goes to show the value of property on this side of the city. If you please, picture to yourself fine residences lined up on both sides of Magazine street, which is now the prettiest in all the city, and it will surely then be tne Bread way of Abbeville, with its beautiful avenues of shade trees and lovely flower gardens, and with other attractions which bring to notice envious eyes from all around. Abbeville has now quieted down after a week's flutter of excitement and pleasure. The carnival has gone and the Abbeville fair is over, and we are glad to say everything passed off most pleasantly. This fair was a success as far as it went, but unfortunately it didn't go far enough to make it the grand success it should have been, for certainly all are, or should be interested in a project of this kind, looking to the advancement of our county and the interest of all the people, especially of the farmers. In our humble opinion the managers did not advertise it properly?we mean so that all the people, everywhere, could understand it. Along a distance of 26 miles we found no one who knew anything about the rules, prizes, admission fees, or entries, Iinrl whftn ncbnrl tvn r.onlrl nr\t. toll Hmm We found in all this travel only "one book" t giving information. We believe, had the t above information been given through the r columns of our county or city papers, as t formerly, so that every one could see and I read and understand that there would have been larger entries and fuller exhib- a its; in other words, the fair would have a been a greater success. ' c 'Tis said "straws show which way the \ wind blows," and we think (judging from a the past) if all these things are carefully f looked into, the next fair will be one that 1 our people, farmers and visitors will be t proud oi. c Our friend and neighbor, Mrs. F. J. Mar- a shall, presented us with two ears.of beau- g tiful corn, a part from that bushel basket c that carried oil the blue ribbon, and we li take pleasure in saying that some of Mr. F. C.

Richard Hill died at his home in this city ast Monday morning about 9 o'clock, Oct. !4th instant. His death was unexpected, ;herefore was a great shock to his friends md family; he was in usual health and reared Sunday night feeling unusually well, laving been out in the afternoon driving vith his wife. About 5 o'clock Monday morning he arose ;o go to his business, but fell upon the loor and seemed conscious, but unable to Eeak as though his throat with his right le was paralyzed, although with his left land he helped to get himself back to his >ed. Physicians were summoned as well is the family, and everything was done for lis relief and comfort, but all to no avail. 3is work on earth was finished and nothng could stay the hand of the "Reaper." 3ow true! "In the midst of life we are in loath," for we know not the day, nor the lour when the summons may come to us, ,herefore it behooves us to be "robed and eady" for the coming of the Bridegroom, hen all will be well with us.
