i> pV* The Press and Banner. BY HUGH WILSON. Twelve jPoges. Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1901. The Fair and the Confederate Veterans. The Fair last week was one of the most pleasant occasions recorded in the history of Abbeville. Each day was attended by a great multitude of people, many of whom came from a distance. On Friday the schools at Abbeville, Due West and Mount Carmel were closed, and the scholars Joined in procession from the school house to the Court House. The cotton mill was 6hut down and all came to the Fair. The long list of entries, and the premium list, furnish evidence ol the good work which was done by President J. R. Blake. Secretary and Treasurer J. Eraser Lyon, and Qeneral Manager E. E. Hill. Mr. A. M. Erwln, of An treyllle, was also on theexecutivecommlttee, and contributed to the success of the underjvy taking. Tbe whole show was free to the visitors. The expense was paid by subscriptions from friends of the undertaking. Besides tbe personal subscriptions, the city authorities contributed 8100 to tbe work. Tbe people are unanimous In their praises of tbe show, and because of their Interest in it we have given up much of our space to Incidents of tbe occasion. The News and Courier was represented by Mr. J. E. Norment, the general agent of that paper, while L. W. P., the local reporter gave dally interesting accounts of the Fair as It progressed. Mr. J. Frazer Lyon made a ful1 and interesting report for The State. At two o'clock on Thursday the progress ol , the Fair was stopped for an hour when the Confederate Veterans assembled in tbe Court House to bear and address from the Hon. John J. Hemphill, candidate for Senator. He spoke of the righteousness of tbe cause of lo- ( cal self-government, and eulogised tbe valor, < self-denial and bravery of the Confederate soldier, whose fame and glory was only ex1ks Iho ctrana onrt hoonlv f.hft womfin . . of Abbeville County. Although he said that he would not make a political speech, Mr. Hemphill seemed solicitous about the political welfare of the old soldiers, and warned them against going off after strange gods, or In words to the effect that they must not vote for McLaarln. He had such great reverence lor old things that he reminded us of the man who thought the moon sblned brighter and better before the war than It does now. Several persons were very liberal In their applause. As a supporter of the doctrine of progress as against tbat of stagnation and obstruction, the Press and Banner Is glad to believe that Mr. Hemphill did very little barm to the progressive movement for which McLaarln stands. His speech was to the Vet?>' ' erans and not to the Fair. The Fair was without the semblance of political caste. After the Hon. J. J. Hemphill bad tinlsned his speech, Dr. J. Lowrle Wilson made a re. view of a book on General Grant and his career down South. When Dr. Wilson had finished his speech Adjutant W. A. Templeton made a short speech, presenting each Confederate Veteran with a ticket which entitled him to a barbecued dinner, which was then ready to be VY j ttervou. _____ Electricity Needed. | In view of the facts that other enterprises may be organized at Abbeville before the close of the year, the Press and Banner would f,. call attention totbe need of the development Pot electric power. There Is much water power in this County that is going to waste. If that power should be utilized for the develop ment of electricity for this place, a most profitable investment would be made. In case another cotton mill should be organized, as dow seemB possible, advantageous arrangement could be made for the sale of power, which could be furnished cheaper than steam power. The proposed mill, 1( built, would be saved the expense of buying a steam plant, and electricity would be employed. Let somebody organize an electrlo plant. Such a plant oould be made profitable, and it would afford a great inducementto tbeorganiz&tlon of other Industrial enterprises. If any owner of a good water power should be favorably inclined, we have no doubt tbut citizens of the town would take Block. We bear that some effort may be made to bring ',/ ~ Trimble's Shoals on Little River to sale. II IUO CUUI l? OUUUIU BUflCCU, WU) JLiUt UCVOIU^f J that power In case no other power is offered ? , C *>;' ? The Warehouse. Shares in the warehouse have changed ? V' < hands at par since last week. The warehouse | organization Is one whose stock has not varied from the first to tbe present time. Since 1 the subscriptions were taken nearly half have * changed bands, and all at par. Capt. John Lyon Is making a most accept- J able manager, and the business has been fairy l ly good. Nobody expects to get rich off his J stock, but all the shareholders think it a safe , Investment t The new ware room, 50 x 100 feet, Is nearly completed, and will be ready for business be- | fore all the room In the first bouse is taken. k. i Let as all Take Stock. i Abbeville has done well is securing a good ' coUod mill. Its presence has been of beneflt . to all tbe business Interests of the town, and seeing bow easily tbe existing mill was se- 1 cured our people should put their shoulder to the wbeel at tbe right time, and take stock In a new mill. I If tbe people will It, and are willing to sub- > scribe for another mill, we can have It, even If It be a small mill. , The furniture factory Is an assured fhct, ' all the capltol stocR, S25,000, was raised without half an effort. For a new cotton mill much more could be raised. I When a man tries to convince you that Tllman Is behind tbe scheme to bring out BenatorHampton for tbe senate you look close to see it he is not a McLaurlo man, or 11 not that tben be has been talking to a MoLaurln man until be was pumped full ot it. ?Florence Times. The Times, we precDme, Is entirely correct In supposing that no McLaurln man wants McLaurin to give place to Wade Hampton, Tbe McLaurin men believe In progress, and want a capable man to represent them at Washington.
