The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C.. WEDNESDAY. > OTEMBER 1, 1899. ~ " THE FAIR. Right nobly did the gallant sons and noble daughters of grand old Lexington county respond to her appeal to make the exhibits and attendance at the Fair worthy of a live, progressive and enterprising county, for they both surpassed the expectations of the m<agt sanguine and enthusiastic officer, member aDd friend of the County Fair Association. In this Fair Lexington county simply covered herself all over with glory and the management has every reason to rejoice and feel proud at bo gTeat a success. Every department was full to overs' flowing with handsome specimens of the products of the industrial world of the county. We lisk nothing in - sayiDg the exhibits were of such high standards of merit, excellence and beauty as to place them in the advance ranks of agriculture, stock ^ raising, manufacture, poultry raising, needle and fancy work, household and domestic department, art, floial and horticulture and garden truck, ho libo nf has hpfn iarelv witnessed before upon one occasion. The exhibition was a true picture of ihe progress and industry of the people of Lexington in every avocation of life and the exhibits were but a representation of the fruits of their daily toil to improve themselves in the art of progressive civilization, scientific farming and stock raising, higher education and nobler and purer social and religious aspirations. All these things speak well for our people and an influence for good has gone out from this Fair to gather up % rich returns that could not possibly been accomplished' by any other method. A staff correspondent of the News and Courier, who was present on the grounds, has this to say about the Fair, along this line: "The Fair grounds in Lexington presented a lively and attractive scene Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, of last week, the occasion being the third annual Fair of the Lexington County Fair Association. The attendance was large, the weather was bright and the management was exceptionally good. The stock department was unusually fine, with its fast handsome horses, best breed of cows, sheep and hogs. The poultry exhibit was large and the barnyard beauties were greatly admired. The products of the farm were temptingly arrayed, as were the preserves and other choice delicacies that had been prepared by the estimable ladies of liberty-loving old Lexington The brilliant assortment of fancy work gave eloquent proof of the tact and taste of the fair creatures who enliven and enrich the cosy and charming homes of that county. It was a joyous meeting of the old and young, the gentle and the strong. Sturdy and sterling men, gracefil and lovely women strolled through the spacious grounds; the merry prattle of bright children was heard. Happiness and halaiity crowned th#gladsome and inspiiing scene.1' What more can we say than has al ready been so appropriately said by this correspondent about this feature of our Fair, except it be that the j pleasing picture of happiness has j not been overdrawn nor has he exagerated the exhibits in the various departments. Each day had its special programme which was full and elaborate and was carried out as published in the Dispatch of last week, and the result of the different contests and the award of the blue and red ribbons in the different departments - ? ? ? >i 3 was satisiactory 10 an concerned Kicking was conspicious for its absence. It is impossible to make ar . estimate of the number of persons in attendance upon the Fair with an\ dfgree of accuracy, suffice it to sa} the attendance was very large all three days, but it was larger on Thursday than on either Wednesday or Fiiday. By invitation of the Committee of the Association the Confederate veterans of the county had a reunion at the grounds on Fiiday. With their this was a gladsome time in which the memoiies of the past were to be t)uched with the fiDger of rec l'e? tion and battles of the long agr were again to be peacefully fought over around the ucamp fires" of the reunion. Elaborate preparations had been made by the officers of Cimn Steadman and C.J. M. D Harman, Commandant of the Lex iDgton regiment, U. C. V, to briDg off the affair successfully and make it an occasion never-to-be for-gotteL by those who witnessed and participated in the ceremonies of the daj. and faithfully did they perform thei; labor of love and duty. A pleasing and inspiring feature of the occasion was the preferce of thirty beautiful and enchanting youD^ ladies attired in black lidiug skirts, j < white waists and caps to match, * mounted on fiery charges. Arcund < the graceful shoulders of each lady there was twined a handsome sisb bearing the colors of the United S a'es. These young lidies rode at the head of the now aged, deerepid end fast disappearing men who for four long eventful years of glorious achievements, unparalleled endurance and suffering end sad disappointment fought so nobly and so gallantry against so overwhelming odds for Constitutional liberty. The following are the names of the ladies who rode in the procession: Lizzie Dreher, Emma Julia Dre'ucr, Maggie Lowman, Annie Sbuler, Delia Wright, Mamie Leitz^ey, Mattie Nunamaktr, Carrie Hiller, Lula Hiller, Mary Guignard, Sue C.iyce, Lessie Itisb, Minnie Dunbar, Ice^ Reeder,Sallie Matthews, Julia Drafts, Pauline Smith, Gussie Burr, Lena HarmaD, Nettie Livingston, L'zzie Calk, Mrs. B. B. Swygert, Florence Meelz?, Fannie Oswalt, Lucia Oswalt, Eloise Kaminer, Lula Kaminer, Jodie Ciughman, Lula Harm an, Erin J. George. Errly in the morning the veterans formed ranks something over three hundred strong and marched in the Fair grounds and around the arena to the martial strains of Mr. Joe F. Harmans brass band, and then dispersed to await the 'coming of the Orator of the Day, Maj. James Armstrong of Charleston, and Major General C. I. Walker, Commander of the South Carolina Division U. C. V., to arrive, they having been delayed en route. Concerning the second parade, we prefer to again let the correspondent speak in his own worde, as it more clearly shows how the scene impressed a disinterested mind: "The Lexington regiment of Veterans, commanded by the gallant Col. M. D. Harman, was to have been reviewed by Major General C. I. Walker, but unfortunately this distinguished and devoted Confederate could not attend. He was ably rep roeanfarl tirtwcrer bin nf tVO^UVVVI) MV ff VfVAj J ? ? staff, Col. James Gadsden Holmes, who vat in full uiiform and'had the division flag. The parade and review took place about one o'clock. Col Holmes was mounted on a mettlesome steed, and he filled the sad die with the ease and grace of a thorough horseman. The veterans were formed in line, along which Col Holmes rode, accompanied bj his color bearer. The young ladies on horseback formed two ranks fac ing inward, and the brave veterans marched proudly pass, every hearl joyously throbbing at th? high honoi conferred upon them by the sweei presence of the charming daughters of Caiolina. Col. Holmes took posi tion in the centre of the field anc the veterans, escorting the ladies, passed in review. A brass banc played patriotic airs. "The ladies were escorted to th( grand stand, which was soon fillec by a large audience. The veterans formed in front, and after singing two hymns and the offering of ar impressive prayer, the speaking be gan. Maj. Meetze, who served with courage and fidelity in the Army oJ Northern Virginia, presided. He spoke eloquently of the days anc the deeds that are not, of the faith ful and fearless manner in which the sons of Lexington did their dut\ throughout the war, of the large number who died in defense of South em liberty. He paid a fitting tribute to the moral heroism of our nob'e women, and spoke of the proud and precious memories awakened by th? veterans present who were amoDgthc best defenders of the South. He said that it was with geniune regret he announced that Gen. "Walker was unavoidably absent, but that he had a worthy representative present in the person of the chivalrous Col. James I G- Holmes, one of the heroes of the I cavalry corps of the Army cf North em Virginia, who would speak to tie audience. He told the ladies that Gen. Walker's Adjutant General was a bachelor. Col. Holmes was warmly received and spoke earnestly and warmly for about ten minutes. He assured the veterans that General Walker desired to be present, but exacting duties detained him in the city of Charleston. Col. Holmes paid a beautiful tiibute to the unselfish and unsurpassed services of General Walker as a soldier, as a patriot it troublesome times. He told of the worth and woik of the devoted wo men of the war. and received the con gratulatioD8 of the veterans as well as the ladies/' Mij. Meetze then introduced Maj James Armstrong of Charleston He was greeted with th * 'a nous rebel yell by the veterans and the large audience. His reputation as a wit, an orator and a patriot had prec ded him and our people were prepared to receive him into the heart wi h outstretched aim3. In the dcivery of bis brilliant and grandly eloquent oration he more that sus tlined his reputation and carried hiaudie ;ce with him back to the bloody oattlefie'ds of the Civil war and as 1<picted in burning words that eat their way into the memories of bis comrades in arm?, one could almost hear the thunder of cannon as they belched forth their iron messengers of death and destruction the rat !e of musketry, the clash of sabres; tl e command to charge mingle with tLe ??e??a???? groaDS of the djitigand the cries cf the wounded, and then with gentlecess of voice and richness of tone he lead his hearers ba.-k to the spotlees paths of peace and impressed us with the stern realities and momentous duties which at the pre sent time con front us. Such was his power of eloquence that at one moment he touched the heaitstiings cf the veterans and cause them to vibrute .with the memory of the glorious achievements in deeds of daring and valor unsurpassed, the next moment the tears would tickle down the bronzed and furrowed cheek as the gifted orator recounted in cadance sad the noble eelf sacrifice, the heaven born devotion and patriotism of the mothers, wives and daughters of the South and the next moment bis audience would be laughing at his inimitabie wit. His language was Knoiitifnl ?>ifh rnnnrlrrl neriods: his U^CAUWil UA (? ?VM , sentences burned with patriotic fire from off the altar of lovr ? his thoughts were pure, elevating and stimulating, and his wit was genuine and chaste We have not attempted to follow him in his magnificent address. The scene was too sacred; the address too impressive and beautiful to be marred by such an imperfect synopsis as our limited space will permit us to give and we shall not attempt it. The address should be a hallowed occupant in the arcbieves of memory and cherished as a bright epoch cf the present which linked with golden chains the glorious past to the uncertainties cf the future, so that liv1 ing now or in the jears that are to come, the brave deeds of the ''boys who wore the gray'* will live fresh and green in the memory and be forever enshrined in the heart of h grateful Southland. A number of old "Johnny Rebs" came ever from Columbia and joined in the ceremonies of the reunion. Their visit is highly appreciated by their comrades in this county and by Lexingtonians gener? ally. After the ceremonies were over ' the distinguished visitors were taken in charge and escorted around. The Fair was brought to a close by awarding the premiums to the lucky i winners. , Gen.

It is I , the ground-work of all t for doctors and medicines that do no earthly good. It is like throwing it into the fire. " We had spent lots of money for doctor bills and I had almost given tip in despair," says Mrs. > Ella Scliall. of Moosehead. I.nzerne Co.." Pa., in a sincere letter to I)r. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, > X. V. "Then I told my husband I was going to write to you. I am very glad 1 did so: You re| member my case was abscess of the breast. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cured me in > one month, sound and well." "Your kindness to me I can never forget," > writes Mrs. Josie K. Clark, of Enterprise, Shelby Co.. Mo. "I cannot express half mv feelings of > gratefulness to you. I had despaired of ever getting well. I had l>ecn in bad health for twelve years. Had aches all through me, numb hands, cold feet, and everything I ate distressed me; my i bowels were constipated. I was very nervous, depressed and despondent. When I first wrote I to you I thought I could never be cured. I have taken six l>ottlcs of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical i Discovery, and mv health is now good. You have my honest recommendation to all sufferers, i I think there is no medicine in the world as good as Dr. Pierce's."

Among the prominent and di-'inguifhtd visitors at our County Fair we noticed with pleasure tbe familiar features of Dr. J. Wm. Stokes, our immediate representative in tbe lower house of Congress Tbe doc tor looked as if tbe band of time had dealt gently with bim and that tbe fates had decreed a long life of usefulness to be spent in tbe interest of his constituents in guarding their welfare in the balls cf tbe National T,paiRl>itnre. The doctor has woiked. well and faithful in furtherence of every measure which gave promise of relief from the oppressions under which the toiling masses of the country has been contending since the advent of the Republican party?the party of trusts?has been placed in power through the prejudices resulting from the outcome of the civil war, but the doctor is to be especially commended for his successful fight for the free rural mail delivery. In this fight he ba9 accomplished more for constituents than any other Southern member has since the days of reconstruction. With a tenacity of purpose remarkable for perseverance and fixedness of purpose he has steadily surmounted what at first seemed to be insurmountable and step by step he has pushed his plan until a partial victory has at last crowned his efforts in that he has prevailed upon the Pcstcffice Department to give the system a trial by way of expeiiments and (Vinca liTrfifimonto trhiio nnf oirctl IUCOC (T W1AV uv v ^ v u their full scope will be enlarged upon so as to embrace the field of the State of South Carolina.

To the EJitor cf the Dispatch: The monotony of our towu has been pleasantly broken. The union of the Upper Division of the Ridge Baplist Association met here Saturday last. Q lite a number of delegates were present and the issues -**. ? l v. . j tjieuuug IUU ueuuLuiuatiuu uccij discussed. Among the ministers present were Pastor, Dr. A. C. Wilkins and N. N. BurtoD, N. G. Cooner and J. M. Morris, of our vicinity; W. E. Thayer, of Ridge Spring; H. L. Baggott and J. A. CarsoD, of Saluda; Jcab Edwards, of Leesville; and quite a number of lay delegates. Conspicious among these being that life long and consecrated servant of the Master, John G. Able, also Col. R. B. "Watson, of Ridge Spring. The burning question?the denominational and State college?was fully discussed. Dr. "Wilkins, Col. Watson and Rav. W. E. Thayer, being especially strong and convincing in their argument. Capt. A. P. WeBt occupied the chair and his pleasant manners and patriarchal beard made a favorable impression. Batesburg fully sustained their reputation for hospitality and the delegates, by resolution, and otherwise attested their appreciation of our people in their manner of entertaining the union. Misssonary day exercise at the Baptist church came off Sunday afternoon, uctoDer 2'zaa. Mrs. u. ?. O'Neal had especially instructed the children and they acquitted themselves so well that at the close, Dr. Wilkins complimented her on the success of the enterprise she had worked to accomplish. Our youog B. Y. P. U. leader, Albert C. Jones, presided and his management was favorably commended by all present. The music was under the supervision of Misses Lottie Itidgell, Annie Cartledge, Inawies Hartley, Eva Jones and Prof. J. Broadua Watson and was sweet and enchanting. A collection at the close amounted to a credita> ble sum. 1 The missionary day exercise at the Methodist church was eLjoyed last night, Prof. Berry in. the chair. The splendid woik of Miss Kate 1 Gainey was displayed by the children in their perfect marcbiDg and excellent recitations. They were beautifully attired aod altogether ' one of the most lovely exhibitions seen in Batesburg for a long time. The music was by Miss Gainey, Miss Eloise Walker and Miss Amanda Rawl, and charmed the audience by , its beautiful rendition. A large col, lection was given at the cloBe. Since my last, Mrs. W. D.

She was buried by the side of several , loved ones at Concord church, not [ far from here.
