FIELD DAY.
'Hie Field Day exercises held in
iSKiwville furnished pleasure to all
^children, and a great many
K^rown-ups.
Sfctft the coming together of so
rmtaiy school teachers and pupils
lmesErit more than a good time. It
i^priiEes that there is an awakening
-s&BEg educational lines in the counSyv
sand that every section of the
caneniy has joined in the movement
1c? %a.ve better schools, ana an eaucitizenship.
"The presence of the patrons, and
?3* interest and co-operation which
tist children and teachers received
trronn them is a healthy sign.
The bearing of the pupils, the evitfeaces
of preparation, and the earrwsitiTRss
with -which teachers and
jjaqiils alike joined in the contests, in
?3* iendeavor to carry off the prizes,
sasspirs "well for the future and
: speaks well for the present.
IT? us the most gratifying thing
- of fire meet was the evidence of
".SfBEat progress which has been made
She schools in the rural sections.
T&a school at Antreville, which is
Mate a town, but a rural settlement,
jcanried off the general honors of the
<!3**asion. The schools at Buffalo,
Sfifeiwood, Cold Springs, Fonville,
1 ~aavfl other schools came in for their
UssA uf the honors. In the declarsaoitioTi
-and reading contests, and in
Atfat t&ass-TOom contests, there was
-*ratemre of the right kind of work
:ee all of these country schools. While
i?*jiriai3y of them there is but one
ttEaeher, or perhaps two, the schools
am-wertheless, are doing quite as good
-acuS. quite as effective work as the
-adB6*ols in the villages. To the re- j
^BifeDts of the districts, who have
TOttx-cl special taxes, a meed of credit
go; but the greater part of (
Hat icredit is due to the earnest
jgtrsxrg women who are trying and
ti&ixtg, working and working, thinkia?:
and thinking, in the praisewor
desire to bring order out of
-idbBBs, and to build up a system of
which means something,
the teachers of the county
. gjeueially, the public is due its thanks
:f<E:?he splendid work which is being
cieare, and for the creditable showing
xwmOs on Friday, as well as for a
of pleasure and inspiration. |
' ^Itengh poorly paid enough, and
-EiBacnnes without even the support of
34k ;pul>lic, sometimes with its active
ojyositaon, these missionaries for the
padbiic -welfare, toil on for the State
3w& Sot posterity. Let us hope
tftafe Ihe future holds more for them
jrrqmise than the present has of
-3nbstantial support.
A PROTEST.
TThe next time Abbeville has the
^ijjfcaEure of having the Field Day j
jKatrases, some arrangement should I
** made so that everybody would
fexrae a chance to take a look at the |
r xunvlsome young men who drive the
"Hifr-Tan-Nancys." There was no
jfaKt; for them to perform last Fri*&q>~
except the public square, and
iia sorder to be sure that they were
"-'SEfc-ri"' it was necessary for several
"the prettiest boya in the crowd to
. nisiwe around seventeen.or eighteen
fciaeK. ^ Even at that, they could
mfo. drive with any satisfaction to
themselves; somebody was /always
;*<wwtfcing in the wey, making ty necesi
?ay to blow the horn, and thus atSarauftmg
attention.
-SViiother inconvenience which
tihey experienced was that they had
sit upright in the seat in order to
l irctp Irom driving over someone.
"iSwor, -a young gentleman who wishes
-show the public some "stunts" in
gliding in one of these "means of
.Transportation" cannot get the
"j^ght effect unless he sticks his
1 '.aacets about eighteen inches above
i tore ;fetad, and sits on his shoulder
f &aide&. He should also have on a
\r?3frce acloth hat (silk preferred)
ha?aped towards the top like a funnel;
? iQHBf.xomer of his hat should be
r id%fatly:tilted over the right eye, and
at cigarette "duck" should be in the
Western corner of his mouth. Ob"SM.-tisly,
all these decorations cannot
?* iooked after, where the gallant
ynreng steerer must look out for
: fifteen hundred and sixty chil
dren, and three or four thousand
people who are in town without any
excuse except to see the children
and attend the exercises.
If the Teachers' Association meets
with us again, we hope the mayor
and chief of police will see that
some place is arranged for these important
personages, about ten miles
from town, where everybody so desiring
may go out and take a look
at them, or else take some steps to
see that the teachers and children
of the county stay at home in order
to give them a chance. There is no
fun in burning up gasoline when
somebody is always standing between
you and the limelight. '
EDITORIAL BREVITIES.
At any rate, Teddy Roosevelt
could not accuse us of being in favor
of race suicide.
And then the children who attended
Field Day were such fine
children, they were of Abbeville
county.
Some think that the judges who
passed upon the declamation and
reading contests1 at the Opera House
Friday night, made mistakes. So
do we, every boy and girl in the
contest should have had the medal.
Those taxpayers of Abbeville
county who have voted special taxes!
in their school districts, read their!
vindication Friday, in the bright
faces of two thousand school child-1
ren, everyone of whom deserves a |
chance in life. They cannot have
it without schools.
-I I
The teachers who worked so hard
I to make the little country schools
make a creditable showing, and who
stood so loyally by their boys and
girls on Field Day, are the persons
who are erecting monuments to
themselves that are worth while.
They made us glad that we were
raised in the country, and started in
the country schools. |
i
The fact that Abbeville county is
the county, and Abbeville people are
the people. We may not make as
much noise as some of our neighbors,
we may not make as much money,
nor build as many sky-scrapers; but
we have the "folks" you have been
talking about. And they are still
coming on.
There Is Hope Yet. |

Abbeville Speakers.
The Womans' Missionary Society
of the Baptist church at Anderson,
will celebrate its fortieth anniversary
sometime this week and
Miss Nelle Cochran is on the program
for one of the addresses of
welcome. Miss Cochran belongs to
Abbeville and her speech will be one
worth hearing. She has many
friends and relatives in this county
...l- 1~J i -r 1
wnu urc always giau lu near ui ner
success and to see her when she
comes back on. a visit.
The Graduate Nurses Association
of South Carolina will hold their
eighth annual' meeting in Greenville
the latter part of this month and
an elaborate program has been arranged
for the occasion. Miss i.ucile
Withers will respond to the addresses
of welcome. Miss Withers
has been making her home in Abbeville
for several years and is known
to our people as a most capable
nurse with the interest of her work
at heart.
Mrs. M. T. Coleman leaves thh
week for Walterboro where she will
speak on the openine nieht of the
Chautauqua, which the town will
hold for a week.
"Watch Bel ton."
The Belton Journal, which has
been published in that town for the
past year, has been purchased by the
town and will be run in the interest
of Belton in the futhre. The editor
is Claude C. Graves and he gets
out a readable paper.
With a paper owned by the town,
the thing to do is to "Watch Belton."
We wish the town success in her enterprise.
CANJIWIENTOS
Miss Piatt has given out eight
packages of seed in Abbeville County
and the following instructions
will be valuable:
Plant seed in hot bed in rows two
inches apart, placing seed one inch
apart in rows.
When plants are six inches high
transplant to plat.
Plat should be in a thoroughly
pulverized condition having been
broadcast with lime before being
subsoiled.
Lay off rows 2 1-2 feet wide, use
8-4-4 fertilizer at the rate ofv 1,000
pounds per acre.
Check with rows 2 1-2 feet apart
and plant must be set in the check.
Cultivate frequently. When plants
are 12 inches high apply nitrate of
soda at the rate of one teaspoonful
to the plant. They respond readily
to this treatment. Keep free of
weeds and grass.
In July your efforts are awarded
with an abundance of lucious pimentos.
Sell as many as possible in the
market. Then comes the canning
season.
Gather peppers early in the morning
while crisp with dew. Rub all
dust off with a towel, being careful
not to bruise them.
Cut around stem with a sharp paring
knife, withdraw seed burr with
stem, and cut away the walls or partitions
on the inside.
You now have the beautiful red
hollow pods whioh you place side by
side (never overlap) in a biscuit pan.
Introduce this into a very hot stove
oven. In 10 minutes these pods will
blister. Remove from stove and peel
immediately. Pack these leathery
pulps into No. 1 cans, four pimentos
to each can being the commercial
pack.
Cap?exhaust 3 minutes.
Tip?boil 20 minutes.
Boiling extracts their natural
juices. Never use olive oil with them
because with age it becomes rancid.
The natural oily juice extracted byboiling
in the cans is far better than
the introduction of olive oil into the
can.
Likewise they may be canned in
half pint glass jars.

The Big Sheriff.
(The Columbia Record.)
One appointment that Mr. Manning
has made seems to have
brouffht ceneral rnmmpnrlAtirm nnH
that is the naming of Robert M.
Burts as sheriff of Abbeville county.
This is another case of Cincinnatus.
Mr. Burts is a farmer. In physique
he is about the size of Jesse Willard,
and he has a backbone that is all in
proportion in size, and in strength.
He has never been m politics.
He is a brother of Dr. C. E. Burts
of Columbia, and of R. Clyde Burts,
for a number of years a teacher at
Furman University and now superintendent
of city schools at Rook
Hill. Their father, the venerable
R. W. Burts, was for 34 years pastor
of old Broadmouth church, and is
one of the best loved and most highly
respected preachers in the State.
In biographical sketches of this sterling
Christian saint, the two other
sons are named, but "Bob" is not
mentioned. Just wait, he may yet
be the big man of the family.
Wins in the Debatn.
Wofford, Clemson and the College
of Charleston are holding a series
of debates. In the one held at
Charleston last Friday night the affirmative
side of the query, "Resolved,
that the central Government of
Great Britian in more truly democratic
than the Federal Government
of the United States" was taken by
Robert Hemphill Coleman, and G. L.
Buist Rivers. Th? affirmative side
was awarded the decision. The
News and Courier says the speeches
were of high caliber and the result
was pleasing to the friends of the
young men.
Pat?If Oi'm rot mistaken?
which Oi'm sure Oi am?your name
is Murphy.
Tim?Nope ye're mistaken?ye're
not mistaken. Me name is Murphy.?

Flower Seed.
Last year the Civic Club gave j
away many pounds of sun-flower t
seed over town, and through its 1
flower exchange distributed many ^
growing plants to be used in beauti- (
fying the town. On account of the e
prolonged drouth the seed did very e
little good and the town was not a ^
blaze of yellow flowers as it was
hoped to make it. This year no
sunflower seed will be distributed but
the exchange of flowers will be |
kept up and any one applying to the G
president will be given flowers to g
plant. |
Congressman Aiken and Hon. Jas. |
