Jones Tellw Something; of tbe Fair and Good Farmlug !u Texan. Meridian, Texas, Oct. 20,1900. Editor Frees and Banner, --* -"? > r\nuAa t My iasi leuet wa* wrmou uuui ^nuac, j. left Abbeville on Wednesday and reached this point the following: Sunday morning at two o'clock. ?or five night's I had failed to get a real good nights rest, and I reached the point a very tired emigrant. The Dallas Fair and Cotton Exposition was founded In 1SS5, this whs the loth annual Fair. The location Is a perfect one. It Is about two miles from 1 the business part of the city. The bouses, grounds and tracks are perfect. The grounds are lo charge of aa expert gardener the year round, and the flowers and shrubbage is as well taken care of as Central Park .New York. I could almost Imagine I was in the botanical wardens at Washington. This Fair goes on for sixteen days. It Is Ibe Quia season Id Texas. They come to It by thousands and tens of thousands. The day I took It in the turn-stlles registered forty-two tbousand. There is no guess work about It. the entrance eate registers the crowd, and duriDg the fifteen days the register showed that five hundred and ten tbousand bad entered, a half million of peoDle make a large crowd, even in Texas. I presime from all I can learn that this is by tar the best annual State Fair in the U.S. The city of Dallas reaps a golden harvest durlog the fair and consequently she 1b very liberal In Its support. Dallas Is built In, the midst of what is locally known as the black lands of Texas, the richest and most lasting highlands to be found on tbe globe. It Is bard to realize that such a variety of productions cau be rounde<f up in one State as was to be seen on exhibition here. Texas Is eminently a State of labor-saving machinery and I spent at least an hour In this department. I was convinced that no other couod Stale could compete with Texas In making cheap cotton. It 1r possible in a large portion of the cottou section to make a cropofcottou without walking a foot. The land is broken, harrowed, planted and cultl vated on rid lug turn plows, narrows, ana cultivators. THe only walking is to tbln oat to a stand and pick. There never has, and there never will be, in my Judgment, a machine either to thin to a stand or to pick cotton. Whou it comes to wheat, the farmer Is not compelled to touch the ground with bis foot until he gathers up the bundles of wheat or oats into ricks or shocks. There has been a revolution along stock raising lines since I was here twenty years ago. Then the long born was the rule, but this is all changed now and for the better. Millions have been spent In grading up the long into short horns, until now tome of the finest. beel cattle shipped to Chicago goes from Texas. It Is no unusual thing now to find cows weighing 1SU0, it was the exception 20 years ago when they never went over eleven or 1200. The Dairy farms were well represented, some very fine Jersey. Durham, Polled Angus were on exhibition. The hog snow was mag niflcient, there was at least a dozen going aB bigb as a thousand pounds. Now a thousand pound hoe makes a pretty good show contrasted wilh a H. C. laud pike of one or two hundred. Judging by the poultry exhibit the climate of Texas suits the poultry farmers. I was Informed In going through this depart| ment that Dr. Lea, of Cokesbury, one of the South Carolina judges hadjustgone, I was very much disappointed In meeting him. The display was fully as good as the National show 1 attended some years ago In Washington. J. Y. Jones. , INTERESTING EVENT. MInm Roper ami .Mr. Samllfcr arc to be Married. Rock Hill Herald.

Mrs. 4 Russell was a Inember of the Presbyterian Church, was popular, genial und sympaI thetic in disposition, and many warm lriends throughout the city and wherever she was known are in sorrow over her death.

The Cily Authorities of Coin nihil Rock Hill. Kcoricetoivii, Florenc huiI Charleston Uiuicpe.HNnrll, AlHrinetl. The Mayors of the cities have Issue an appeal to the voters of South Carolina 1 behalf of the proposed Constitutional aujeni meut in reference to the Increase of the defc oq those cities. It occurs to us that they ar unnecessarily alarmed. The people are a ways generous when it comes to voting taxes The history of the past proves that when an; cuy proposes an increase 01 taxes me voter are generally ready to bow and yield to tb wishes of the "leaders." This proposition, 1 Is true, does not come directly to the voter bat It opens the way. It Is the enterln wedge, and the people's time to Increase tb white man's burden will surely come. The ad dress Is as follows, omlttiDg a repetition c the amendment wbich may be read In th election notice : To the Voters of South Carolina: We believe if the vital imporiance of thi Amendment to our cities was understood b; vaii tharn icnnlf! hp nn flnnht nf 1to holm adopted by an overwhelming majprlty. Fearing that you may not appreciate tb imperative necessity of giving oar Munioi palitieB the opportunity of deciding, each ooi for Itself, whether we should Increase oar re rpectlve debts for the sole purposes abovi named, we appeal to you to give us the rlgh of choice. Without an abundant supply of good water suitable for all purposes, and without a prope: system of sewerage, which cannot be madi efficient wllhouttbls water supply, thegrowtl and the health of any municipality must b< seriously hampered. We believe there Is no other measure oi project possible, for the advancement of oui cities, that can compare in Importance wltk an abundant water supply and a proper sys tem of sewerage, and without these, In oui opinion, they cannot advance In prosperity or population as they should do. The adoption of this Amendment will noi commit any ol our communities to an issu auce of bonds, or municipal ownership, bui will only confer upon us a power In these re spects that we do not now possess. Should this Amendment be adopted by tb< voters of the State, and approved by our Geo eral Assembly, neither of our cities can issue a single bond nor increase tbelr bonded debt a single dollar, by any adtlon whatever of oui Municipal Authorities, unless and until 'Id eacn city, nrsi, "a majority or me rreenoia era" petition those authorities to order a special election, and at that special election a "majority of the qualified electors" vote to Issue these bonds for the Bpeclal purposes named In the Amendment, and for no other purpose whatsoever. Unless this Constitutional Amendment Is adopted, "the freeholders and the qualified voters" in neither of our cities can.have the privilege or option of issuing bonds for the parposeof acquiring these necessities, so essential to health, life and prosperity, even II /all "the freeholders and all the qualified voters" were unanimous In their desire to do so. We therefore appeal to yon, onr fellow-cltIzens, to help us secure by yonr votes for the adoytlon of this Amendment, the right to decide for ourselves, subject to the limitations ot the Constitution of South Carolina, above set forth, these blessings so essential to our growth end prosperity, which onr own people are praying for, and a prayer, which we feel sure,our fellow South Carolinians will not ??<.e ..nKaarlA/1 > OUUOl IAS UUUOCUCU.

The Abbeville Press and Banner, quoting ?, The Evening Post's remark that tlie pioposed constitutional amendment, permitting tbls c and other cities to issue bonds for public y necessities, "has been well considered by the city authorities and leading citizens, who have agreed that its acceptance is a necessary d measure of relief," makes me following comn ment,: i- "Leading citizens," It may be Inferred it from the above paragraph, have decreed e and ordered the country gudgeons to vote 1- for the amendments. The Post, It seems, i. regards ltaH the Inalienable right ofleady lng citizens" to rule this State, even to the ? requiring of the common herd to vote e away not only their rights, but their t property, too. It might be Inferred from our remarks that i g leading citizens of Charleston have decreed e that the earth is flat, but that would uot I- mean that we have Intimated or remotely | if suggested any such thing, any more than we e did suggest or have In mind any dictation to i the country voters. It would simply mean that some diseased mind had made the In- i ferenoe, the Press and Banner, for Instance, s What we said and meant was that officials i y and other prominent people In Charleston. ' S qualified to sDealc for the community, bad i agreed one with the other that the passage of < c me amendment was necessary 10 secure a l i- proper system of water works for Charleston, i b Tbe Judgment wag purely local. It bad < - nothing whatever to do with the State at 1 3 large. It merely defined Charleston's need. 1 t This being fixed by oompetent authority an i appeal, not a decree, mind you, but an earnest 1 . appeal for help Is issued to tbe people of tne ' r State. We have found tnat we can not get a e water supply with proper conditions unless ] i tbecltv can issue bonds to cover tbe cost of < 3 construction and we ask tbe peopic of tbe I State to give us the right to Issue tbe bonds, r There is no effort or Intention to force tbelr 1 r votes or to deceive them on the Issue. If they i i think we should not be allowed to mortgage < - our securities for securing an absolnte necessl* i r ty to the public health and prqeperlty, they can vote against tbe amendment But when ] uiey Hre ioiu, ua ioey nave ceen, oy me uny 1 t Council of Charleston that this city Is id dire f - need of a water'supply aud that the situation i t ean be tborougbly relieved only by passage of 1 - the proposed amendment, we do not think t tbey will voteagalnst tbe measure. Of course the Press and Banner can be perverse If It ( chooses, but we insist on Its belog fair. It Is < ) but a few weeks since It was saying some i t fine things about Charleston and promising c ' to stand by tblB city in Its struggles, but at 1 > the first opportunity for redeeming Us prom- t ' lee, It fallB uttterly, apparently under the in- t ' fluence of Its old time pre|udlces. Still, as s i we say, we can stood Its opposition and all I ' we ask Is that It state tbe case properly to lis c i readers. Nobody here Is trying to dictate. I ' We present a very respectful petition to the I people of the State. The question is whether t > or not tbey will grant our asking. e 1 ' y t I * R THE FAIR. I ?~? .
