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.

Dr Moffatt Considered for President c
of Clemson- r
A aispatcil ll'OIll Allueisuuii lu luu ouuuu J
says that among other men Dr. J. S. Mof- c
' fat of Due West is being considered by the
1 Board of Trustees as a possible successor s
' to Dr. Mell,
Dr. Moffatt has been eminently success- c
ful in his present capacity of College presi- i
1 dent and the Clemson Board would make J
no mistake in electing him to the important
position of presidency of Clemson c
Colleges.
Ex. Governor Magoon has been called to
Washington and it is thought that the
Governor will be likely to; succeed Crane
as diplomatic representative of the United
States to China. Magoon was Taft,s right

the rumor.
The First Red Shirts Were Worn in
Abbeville

(VjUU li iuutcu/.
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- (

Captain Benin's Company writing hoi
>n the 4th of March said:
"Our red flannel coats which we cheri
,he more highly from the fact of bei
nade by fair fingers in Abbeville, a
issoeiated with our first entrance in
nilitary life, we reserve for dress para
ind other extra occasions. 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

about 3 p. m. in the first, in which
as stored the Doctor's winter supply of

Ir. J. M. Huckabee had a quantity of meal

From what can bo learned the opossum

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

i telling. Mr. John Wilson, one of the
unters, is the champion hunter and
atcher and dealing in futures, has sevensen
of the "varmints" up fattening. Mayo
he is expecting a visit from Taft.
Quite heavy rains came upon this secion
Thursday and Thursday night. A litle
hail hert\ with much more around, in
laces enough to knock out open cotton,
'he writer cannot recall, neither can his
lders, remember ever to have seen or
eard of either hail or an electrical storm,

Mr. J. II. Sanders, of Gaines district has
urchased a steam plow with which to cultivate
his land and to do plowing for the

It is claimed that the plow can do as
nich work in one day as six o~ seven
lules. It will break four and one-half feet
f ground at a time or nine feet at one
round." A man with one horse will break
bout one acre of land per day, while Mr.
