_ ... . .... ; ~ ' . .. , The Abbeville Press and Banner, j . BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1900. ESTABLISHED 1844 J _ ?[ i. At Abbe^ l July 11, i lllijjk New and Di ?||p^ Each $ I0,000 Worth People From All Over the State a f?u nfiho naur Attraction* to l?e) Seen at (he Great Fairs and Carol- | valM that are Being Gotten np for a Number of Towu* on the Seaboard Air Line. We are all Interested ! Every person In this town and section will gain direct immediate and permanent benefit from the Street Fair and Carnival and we do hope that each and every person will do their t rail duty towards helping secure tbe Carnival |\ and Fair for this place and after we are anre | f: we are to have It let each one talk and work L. v for it. It is a good thing and we can t afford to let It goby as we hope there will not be a single drone in onr hive this time. A strong effort and all poll together for the Street Fair and Carnival. The Elberton Gi?., Star Hays: Make the Fair and Carnival the BlirKevt Event ever wan In thin Section. One of the questions that Is now agitating the inind of tbe public is the proposition made last rnontlay night to give Abbeville a carnival this year. 4 ? I# Ka O I The question naiuraiy anneo, nuuiu <<> a good thing: for the town ? The Star takes the *. position that It would, and earnestly hopes v that the city council will appropriate the amount asked that they will give us a pleas. > and time. Carnivals area good tiling. They * advertise and show off to a good advantage the natural resources of the community In whlcb they are given. The Heaboard People win also give Abbeville representation in the southern exposition to be held In the northern cities. That wltbln itself Is fully worth the amount asked for. It Is a fact that we canuot get northern capitalists to come south to see what we have, consequently we have to carry the south north, and by having Abbeville County represented at this show we stand a good chance to get northern capitalists to invest their money in our midst. With these facts in view we heartily commend the work. Let the business men and citizens of the city take a hand in the work, and make the carnival the biggest event ever held In this section of the siitfe. Veteran Reunion. One of the interesting features will be a reunion of the old Veterans of the Confederate array and the parade of the Boys who Wore the Gray will be of much Interest; some of the Confederate banners will be used in the procession and more than one of the brave soldier boys will have on some piece ot unilorm that saw service In the war. This parade and soldiers' day will be an occasion .long to be reroemoerea. rroinmouv uun-cif of the Contederate army will deliver address4 es through tbe day. Children'*) Bay. ? On this day there will be a parade that will be both novel and attractive. The parade will be lieadeg by the children of the several schools In the vicinity, under charge of their respective teachers, and each school will carry a nice banner bearing the uatne of tbe school. The procession will be followed by a party of lun-inaking boys Id comic and fancy costumes All children going in the parade will be admitted to the Fair free of charge. Rtnmpn of nil Stations. To the scholar, and In fact to all, both old and young, the collection of postage stamps ttiat will be on exhibition at tbe Fair and Carnival will be a sight of great interest and one not seen out side of the largest cities of the world. The collection of stamps baa been loaned to the Southern Carnival and Fair Association by a collector who has devoted years to tlie collection of postage stamps from every land aDd clime ; and this exhibit alone Is worth the trouble to go many mllefl to see; It Is a valuable history lesson for the young and an Interesting sight to the old. Precious Stone. While tbe United States does not produce diamonds In nppreciable quantities It does produce a tine line of other beautiful and precious stones and it Is worthy of note that most of these come from the South. At the Great Fair and Carnival there will.be exhibited a tine Hue of precious and semi-precious stones, both cut and uncut. Stones as clear as daylight and ranging In color from the palest pink or blue to tbe deepest black, some partaking of all the colors of the spectrum. A dazzling and beautiful display. The Seed Exhibit. One o( the exhibits at tbe Fair and Carnival that wil I be of special interest to the farmers will be the complete exhibit of seeds of all kinds of grass, train and Held crops. The ex, tilblt will consist of more than a hundred distinct varieties ol seeds of all sizes, shapes on.t ivilnru from Iho hrloliteut vtllnu; to the darkest red, from bdow white to jet black. At no lair has there been such a complete variety of agricultural and garden seeds exhibited as will be shown on this occasion and the Exhibit will be worth a fifty mile trip to Hec. Turned to Ntoue. v Much has teen said about insects, animals aud human beings turned to stone;aud It le recorded that Lot's Wife turned to a Pillar ol Salt. x The truth of a part of the statement will be established by one of the exhibits at the fair, There will be shown au exhibition of lDeectf that have turned 10stone; many varieties ol small firth and Insects. And In this Exhibit will be shown pieces of moss and nots thai have Actually turned lrom their natural state Into stone. This is a strange and wonderful sight and some will no doubt deny the truth luluess of this statement and say; "O thew things have been cut from stone In the Imitation of fish and iniects" but those wbe go to the Fair will be convinced that there li 110 deception In this Exhibit. It Is a moel wonderful and curious sight and will attracl the attention of every one who visits the Fair Nea Shells.

The floats of many of the Business Houses will be very unique and attractive, and besides a great advertising scheme on the pari of tbe firms represented, it will add to the attractions of tbe Fair and Carnival, as there will be at least one hundred teams In tbe Parade, After the Parade Is over, the Floats will be grouped In the streels In such a way as to form quite an interesting showing, as well as a standing advertisement for the firms represented. Southern milling Interests. Just now the whole civilized world is looking at tbe Southern people with amazement and wonder. They cannot understand how a people, who less than forty years ago were without money, can now outrank any other people on tbe globe In the erection of large manufacturing plants. And we are going to have on exhibition at the Pair aud Carnival a fine exhibit of the products of these southern mills; and everyone interested in the Soutb'g rapid development will take great interest lu Heelng this fine Exhibit of Southern Manufactured products: Curiosities of The MiKhly Ocean. ' To be seen at the great Fair and Carnival is an Exhibit of the curiosities of the great oceans ancF streams of the world.

"And the disciples were first called Christians In Antloth. The name Christian, was first given not as a term of reDroach. as Is sometimes stated, but as one of separation. There were tbe two faolions of tbe Jews, one following Jesus, the Christ, tbe other holding to the law of Moses. It was by tbe people of Antiooh that this distinction was first brought on. It should be today a term of separation from tbe things of the world. The term was individual. It was not the church itself, but tbe members, each standing alone, who were so called. As the church relation was not prominent then, we should not make it too much so now and glory in the church to which we belong, rather than in the fact thai we are Christians. The name indicated also uot their reverence and love for the person of Jusus alone, nor their admiration of his teaching, but more than this, It Indicated their belief in the atonement, their trust in it for salvation. The term 'The Christ, Indicates that one who should bring salvation and cleanse the people from their sins. This name denotes our relation to tbe person ol Christ. He Is the head, we the members; he the Rock on which all Is founded. When this relation is as close as It should be the greatest joy, tbe greatest peace will be tbe result. Dr. Wilson closed with a strong appeal to those flho had not become Christians to take for themselves this name with all of its privileges. ^ POT POLITICIANS. .0 "Imperialism" a Cry to Ciitcli . v Fool Voter*. x Carolina Spartan. There Is no such possibility as imperialism In the United States. A new president 1r chosen every fonr years and bis powers are ctrcamsorlbed by tbe constitution. It Is a false ory raised to cateb voters and tbose wbo make It know that tbe government In pursu lng the same polloy of expansion that has prevailed for the last eighty years.
