C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1914. . - : ESTABLISHED 18 PRIZE WINNERS AT THE COUNTY FAIR The Abbeville County Fair opened up promptly on Tuesday. The game of football between the second teams of the Clemson and the University of Georgia attracted considerable inter est and there was quite a large crowd out to see it. Clemson seemed to out class the University boys and won easily by the score of 27 to 9. In the live stock and hog depart ments the exhibits were very good, but the cattie exhibit amounted to practically nothing. There were quite a number of mule anjl horse colts shown, the full list of which will be found elesewhere. fho nf w A Rtpvenson and T. 0. Price in the hog department brought forth favorable comment. Mr. Stevenson showed four sows and about 30 Poland China and Berkshire pigs. Otto Price showed a Duroc-Jer sey sow with 9 pigs which attracted a great deal of attention. Mr. Stevenson all together has 47 pigs and they are beauties. What Mr. Stevenson and Mr Price are doing with hogs is an evi dence what others can do. \ It is regretted that there was not a better exhibit in the cattle depart ment. It is known that there are sev eral breeders of beef cattle in the county but none of them manifested enough interest in the Fair to make an exhibit. On Tuesday a large number of Greenwood people attended the Fair and brought over 8 or 10 horses which were shown on Wednesday. Several of the horses shown won prizes at the recent Horse shows in the State. The racing for "County Owned" on Tuesday afternoon attracted a great deal of interest. The following were the entries: All, W. J. Andrews, first; Prince, Norris Wakefield, secand, and Frank, Geo. Mann, third. There were four entries for the rac ing on Wednesday afternoon, three Greenwood horses and one Abbeville horse. W. H. Emerson, of Hodges, won the race with "Peerless Dan," with "All," W. J. Andrews, second, "Odom" A. R. Dean, third. The mule race was won by B. Ash ley, with Calvin Elis, second and C. L. Ashley third. Miss Addie Woodhurst won first prize in the Girls' Tomato" Club con test, getting $10 and a free trip to the State Fair and Miss Maude Botts won second prize of $5. The displays by the Girls' Tomato club was quite a disappointment in the number of displays as only two members made exhibits, Miss Addie Woodhurst and Miss Maude Botts. Miss Woodhurst exhibited about 200 cans of tomatoes, and various fruits that she had put up herself. Miss Botts' display was not so large but showed careful work on her part. In the agricultural department Messrs G. N. Nickles, 0. S. and H. N. Cochran made their usual good dis plays. Judging by the exhibits of these men they are, evidently, not worried by the low price of cotton as they live at home and raise cotton as a sur plus. Mrs. Oscar Cochran had on ex hibition 130 different canned fruits, vegetables, etc.', and attracted a great deal of attention.

An event of unusual interest and charm was the marriage on Tuesday afternoon, October the 20th, 1914, of two of Abbeville's popular young people, which took place in the Baptist Church. Ou that date Mr. and Mrs. Beacliam gave in marriage their daughter, Lorena, to Mr. Walter Eugene Johnson. The color scheme employed in the decor ation of the church was green and white. For a half hour before the appointed hour, four o'clock, Miss Ada McMillan ren dered a mnsical program, and Miss Fran cos Stark, in her usual clear, sweet tone8i sang "Because." aud "Schubert's Sere nade." As the notes from Lohengrin's "Bridal Jhorus" sounded, the bridal party en tered, preceded by the ushers, H. G. Smith, E. H. Jones, D. H. Hill and Dr. E. J. Nick es. Little Miss Ruth Beeks. beautiful in white, carried a flower-basket of rose petals, which she scattered before the jride. Then came the dame of honor, Mrs. Lowrie M. Beacham, in a handsome visteria satin, with hat to match, and car rying a bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley and lurple violets. Next came the page, little Fohn Mc-Murray, in a suit of white, who wrried the ring on a silver tray. The bride entered on the arm of her jrother, Worth B. Beacham. Her bridal :ostume was an elegant traveling suit of )ronze green broadcloth and brocade vel vet with accessories to match, and carried l bouquet of orchids and lilies-of-the ralley.' The groom, who entered from the vestry oom, was attended by Mr. Lewis Perrin, is best man. The coremony was performed by Rev. i. W. Alexander, supply pastor of the >ride, assisted by Rev. H, Waddell Pratt. From the church Mr. and Mrs. .Johnson vent directly to the Seaboard' station vhere they boarded the train for a bridal rip North.

All efforts of the allied armies and the Germans are centered along the North Sea coats, where in that sec tion included pbetween Nieuport and Dixmunde, the battle has been raging incessantly for several days past. The latest official advices from Paris re port a violent bombardment of Nieu port by German guns but so far as the public knows neither side has gained any definite success. British officials declare the situ ation is satisfactory and that while the fighting is severe and continu ous the Allies are gaining ground and many prisoners have been taken. German general headquarters ad mit the positions held by the Allies between Nieuport and Dixmunde are being obstinately defeated but that, in the exchange of heavy artillery-fire between the British fleet and the Ger man gunners three warships were hit. On Sunday the ships,,according to the report, drew out far off shore. The French steamer admiral Gante aume has been added to the list of vessels blown un by maines in the waters off the French and Belgian coast. More than a score of persons were drowned, the others being res cued by a cross-channel steamer. Cape Town reports that the rebel Maritz and his forces have met defeat at the hands of the Union of South A^!#ca roops. Maritz was wounded and has fled to German territory. The Russian official report describ es a great battle in progress along a front of more than sixty milees in Poland, extending from Rawa to the river Iljanka, in which the Russians are declared to be winning victories. The same report says that the resis tance of the Austrians in Galicia is weakening. The people of Belgium are in dire straits, many millions of them facing starvation. The American minister to Belgium says there is less than a two weeks supply of food in the cities, while in the country districts -the situ ation is worse. The American relief committee in London has been rorcea to delay until Wednesday its first jsfhfrfnlent lot food to Belgium, the British Board of Trade not having granted the necessary license in time. With the release of the American tank steamer Brindilla, captured by the British auxilliary cruiser Caroia and taken to Halifax and the an nouncement that the Platuria, held on the coast of Scotland, would also be permitted to continue her voyage, all pending questions between the United States and Great Britain over the sei 2ure of American ships have been set- j tied. CAROLINA THEATRE REOPENED. Carolina Theatre was reopened ( last Saturday night, under the man- < agement of Mr. B. 0. Hopkins, an ex perienced "movie man." j Mr.^opkins stated that he realized j thaft the people of Abbeville have seen only high-class pictures during the - past few months, and for that reason would demand that only the best pic- j tures be shown, and that it will be j his aim tp secure a service for the Carolina that will surpass any pro- i gram shown in the State.
