Yesterday he called at the office oi Lieutenant-Governor Gary, where a number of gentlemen called and paid their respects to the Governor. He Is In good health, and questions himself as to whether be has done any wrong If the newspapers fall to criticise him for auy length of time. Since bearing the Governor talk, we think he has changed his mind about tue necessity rorna organ id Columbia. He seems to enjoy the newspaper eccentricities.

An early morning train over the G. C. <fc N. railroad brought us to the enterprising city of ' Greenwood, where, in company with Dr. J. 1 A.Marshall, chairman of the Greenwood ' Siocfc Show, Mr. James L. Harper, Editor of the Elberton Star and Mr. Trammell, of < Brooksvilie, Fla., we drove through the broad and well planned streets to the fair grounds, ' at which place quite a crowd had already as- { sembled, hoping to witness the oest stock I show ever seen In Greenwood, and iater developments proved that In this they were not 1 disappointed. : By eleven o'clock, when a thousand or flf- 1 teen hundred persons had arrived on the 1 grounds, the exhibition began. Everything , whs progressing smoothly and satisfactorily ^ nil a roadcart driven by one of the exhlb- ' itors was overturned causing Its occupant to I fall heavily to the ground. Just at this mo- Jj ment a Texas pony bolted from the track and J dashed into the crowd smashing a carriage 1 wheel and doing other slight damage. Ev- J erybody was badly frightened, but fortunate- 1 ly no one was Beriously hurt. In due time order was restored and the ex- v hlbitlon of fine stock was resumed.

'he Strange Fact That a Nice Town has no School Which let Satisfactory. Idltor Press and Banner: In tbe eastern hemisphere there lies a little )wn famous in many respects. It bas prouced some of the greatest men known on ills continent, and perhaps we might say 'ith confidence to the known world. They ave figured in state and national politics, bey have distinguished themselves not only pon tbe battle-field, and reflected great onor upon their native town and state, but 1 tbe halls of Congress and in tbe Senate aamber as well. They have also made i\omsptv?u known and felt in the Chief laglstrate's cabinet. This town ta located a the South Atlantic slope. In a region of iuntry known as the Piedmont Belt It Is oied for Its healthful climate, the intelgence of its Inhabitants, Its flourishing lurches, the christian liberality of Its memere, the correct deportment and upright landard <5f her morality. Its unbounded Parities and deeds of christian benevolence re recognized and known far beyond her 113 jrrltoral limits. We could dilate at considerable length on harming women and her beautiful maidens. b< lere we can present to the world, some of C tie prettiest women the sun In his circuit round the blue vaulted heavens, hlnesupon. Tbls and more could be truth- u( ally written about this Ideal southern town. 1,1 ituatcd as It is in one of the most favored 1C pots on God's green earth, posessed of unsld natural resources, markets are good, er lands as fertile and productive as are to jjj e found anywhere, all things considered. But, there is one thing this healthful and se elli;htful little town Is sadly deficient In. hear you with breathless interrogation Bk "have you the bold audacity to say this as leal town 1b not complete in all Its depart- 5) lents?" Camly and candidly 1 say yes. ^hat department Is this town you have pic- &( tired in such glowing colors deficient In? f hat is its great need? The principle need nd the one I wish to emphasize, Is her want tt r lack of a good school. It was my pleasure je ot long since, to listen to an eminent divine nd an educator ot no mean repute, deliver n address on "christian education." In the ei surse of his remarks, he alluded to a town bout the size and extent of tbe one I have utlined above. He said be bad visited one in nch.andhad walked and driven over its rlnclple streets. He said he had remarked c? 'bat a beautiful town with her handsome tt ouses, beautiful fiower gardens and her treets shaded by elegant and flourishing rees stretched along her every side-walk sn Hording ample protection from the rays of n le noon-day sun. ^ This picture, continued the speaker, was all fr lurred and spotted, and the beauty and arm on ay was soon lowered in his estlmulon when be spied the miserable hovel, ointed out to him as the town's school build- ? i?r Mno it <u nppriipsK for me to add, that ^ iese remarks called forth lhe rambling as noughts offered for your kind reader's serious mslderation. Does this picture apply to the town of Ab- vj evllle? Oh no, of course not. , Is the house you send your children to a fit lace to force these little ones into on a dl aid chilly day ? Do you Intend to sit with >lded hands and let other towns prepare a lace to school your children ? Is this the Athens of upper Carolina's amitlon ? Do you who profess to be the pro- 16 ictors and guardians of your offspring In- m and your children shall grow up in Ignor- ; nee, and without that training which 1b usential to tit them for places ol usefulness 11 nd honor? I repeat, do you intend Jor the G Ising generation to follow in the loot-steps fQ f their fathers, and leave their followers as ou are leaving them ? I can not, I will not elieve it. I believe the people of the town lctured above will, in a short time awake to ei sense of their duty and obligation. Let me ctJ rge upon the reader the imperative and r\ resslng importance of taking immediate nd decided steps to improve our school and chool buildings. (J. F Contributed Locals. Abbeville, 8. C.

Ragged clothing cannot debase a lan as much as a frayed reputation. No man fiinds fault with his neigh >r as long as he is closely watching hrist. If you propose to serve God at all ave the manliness to begin this serve now. When a man speaks the truth you lay count pretty surely that he posisses most.other virtues. Some people can trust god as long i they have plenty of money it when the bank breaks their all jes with it. When the Japanese hitch a horse in le street, they do so by tying his fore gs together. Hitching posts are never sed in Japan or Coreir, except by forgners. Upholstered seats In cars are the ost effective cinder catchers and dirt >llecters imaginable. No car that has lem can be clean. Hundreds of Mormons are settling t the Mexican States of Sotiora and hihuahua, and more are expected om Utah. Opportunities are God's calls to do >od. Tney are the talents for which en are held accountable accordingly i they are improved or dicussed. What a gracious God, that he prodes a way for his banished children i return to him. What strange chilren, so many of them have 110 desire 1 return. Will there have to be some great and rrible discovery of trie usefulness or ilitary defences before G'hristain naons can believe that love is stonger tan hate; tbat it is safer to trust in od and goodness than in violence and rce? You can not build a ladder long lough to reach to heaven, but you in enter at one step through Jesus hrist. "1 am the Way, the Truth id the Life ; no man cometh unto the ather, but by me." Near the bottom of the sea there is a ratum of absolutely calm wdter. so lat even though tbe storm is raging jove, tbe smallest pebble lying on the oorof the ocean is undisturbed. Ba>n tells in oue of his essays of a lountain so high tbat no storm ever isturbs its air. So. peaceful is that mimit said to be, that a traveler havlg written some words in the white jhes of his camp-fire, found them ill there after a score of years had ast. There is a depth of Christian sperience, and a height of Christian ttainment where similar phenomena re exhibited. We may rise above evry storm of earth and sink with hrist into profound depths where our eace shall abide unshaken though II the powers of darkness were arrayd against us. There is a lesson in the followin xtract which we should ever bear in lind, especially when we are pressed 'ith work : "Jesus appears to have evoted Himself specially to prayer at mes when His life was unusually full f work and excitement. His was a ery busy life. There were nearly always 'many coming and going' about lim. Sometimes, however, there as such a congestion of thronging bjects that He had scarcely time to at; but even then He found time to ray. "Many in our day know what this Dngestion is ; they are swept offtheir jet with their engagements, and can jarcely find time to eat. We make his a reason for not praying; Jesus lade it a reason for praying. Is there ny doubt which is the better course ?" .it ...... Kentucky " U A D t P S II U II LV El U .
