College and School Day at The Fair On Tuesday of Fair week all student* and pupils of the state will be admlttei free to the fair grounds. Any one aeconi paning a pupil will be admitted at hall price on that day, or for the sum of 25 cts Teachers and officers of the Educationa Department will also be admitted free or Educational Day. Thisisan opportunity for school chil dren to see the Fair free of cost so far as entering the Fair grounds is concerned No doubt many schools will take advan tage of this chance. Coaches can be had for schools if spoken for in time. Schools that have the matter under advisenent should send immediately to the Secretary A. W. Love, for tickets for the school, anc at the same time make arrangements for a coach. Going thus under a block ticket would be cheaper than paying ordinary fare. The Seretarj* is anxious to have a large delegation of school children on Educaaional Day, and in view of the induce ments offered he should be met by e hearty response. 25000 school children would make ar imposing sight on the Fair grounds, anc there would be many to go on that day just to see the children alone. Besides a splendid outing for the schools it would be of incalculable value to the children from an educational standpoint They would have a chance here to study the resources of our State, to meet children from other parts of the State, to gel new ideas, new zeal and enthusiasm. Schools thinking of taking the trip should get In communication with the suoerlntendent, J. Foster Hammond at once. He will do all In his power to perfect any arrangement that the county teachers may wish made looking to the securing of tickets, transportation, ect. A number of schools have the matter under advesement, and some are making arrangements to go. It will be a great day for the little fellows.

Those who so nobly and so honorably wore the red shirts to victory in '76, seerfi now to have forgotten their ancestors, ? and think that they were the original and <] only red shirts. I Capt. James M. Pcrrin's company, we believe, was the first to enter the Confederate army. It left Abbeville on the ^ morning of the 9th of January, 18C1, wear- ( ing red shirts or red jackets, which the i good women of the city of Abbevillo had L. Dar| ? j h r\^ a 4. liU 1UU Ol t.

They are j n a good state of persevation and will loubt be kept by many ardent spirits >ur works as heirlooms to inspire t mtriotic ardor of their descendants." The prophesy as to "the inspiration heir patriotic descendants" was ma nanifest in '76. In actual war the red shirt was cons: ;red too conspicuous a mark for the ari >f the enemy in '61 ,and for this reason t :olor of the uniform was changed. In 61 the red shirts and the determin nen who wore them had the effect of g ng strength to their cause without addii langer to the individual. Why the red shirt or red jacket w idopted in 1861 is unknown to us. Of ^tho fifteen commissioned and no :om missioned officers who left Abbevi n Capt.

From what can bo learned the opossum ribe in this section is and has been for ome time faring badly. Nearly every iglit horns and hounds have been heard nd lights seen on the distant hills. Whether this hunting revival of these ight prowlers was brought about by the Id time love of sport, or whether partly ue to scarcity and high price of meat, i telling.
