The bicycle parade and races were largely attended. Tbe afternoons were deligbtlully cool and partially cloudy which contributed Tj much to tbe comiort of all. Abbeville aud her visiting Irleuds turned out in full force. frj The afternoons afforded much pleasure and enjoyment to all and nothing transpired to f,J mar tbe pleasure of tbe occasion until the JA, la>?t round of the 10 mile race, when an unexpected accident, Mr. Stawright and Mr. < Frank Hodges were thrown from their wheels ' by a small negro boy attempting to cross tbe p" tract. The boy was knocked down by Mr. Seawrlght's wheel, and Mr. Hodges following close behind ran Into the wreck and was also precepltated headlong over his wheel, both sustalng painlul but not serious injuries while this was golug on Mr. Collins,of Due West, made the home run and won the prizes. It was thought by many that Mr. Collins would have won the race, at small odds, he being just a few feet ahead at the time the accident occurred, at the same time no one p( could say positively. The other racing were tine and "honors were easy" as we believe racers from all points won prizes. Details of which will be given this time by a more < facile pen than ours. All the base ball games needed to make them interesting was a team i that could give the Abbeville boys just a fair .j( field practice, this theTrojans could not do. ] SPARTANMURG VS.

Tbe long-dlBtance telephone brought from Greenville a report that Henalor B. R. Tillman bad been killed by an electric car In Washington, rhe Press and Banner man ran up agafnst the rumor and immediately proceeded to bunt tbe source. Further than tbe long distance 'pbone story nothing could be learned until morning. It was soon found however, that tbe telegraph and telephone wires all over tbe State were loaded with the report and with anxious Inquiries. The story was considerably doubted by the malorlty. but the well-known disposition to believe any old thing about Tillman caused many to conclude tbat the great Carolinian's Sbenomenal career bad come to a tragic end, efinlte assurance of a fake came' with Saturday's papers, which announced that the;SenaLor bad on the day before secured the passage bis Dispensary bill through the Senate. Senator Tillman Is now doing some work which should secure for him the appreciation jf the people of Abbeville. It is probable that the Senator will be in Abbeville the first week In August.
