WALHALLA, H. C.:
WEDNESDAY, JULY '2:1, 1013.
LET IT DE CLEMSON.
Wo call thi* attention of all who
favor or feel an interest in the Trl
Couuty Fair proposition to the lot
ter in this Issue written by J. P.
Stribling, of Richland, lt is worthy
of careful loading and full considera
tion. Thc suggestion made by Mr.
Stribling that tho Trl-County Pair
be pushed for all it is worth, and
thal Clemson Coller,?' be made the
permanent location for tho bolling
of the fair is indeed timely. We
most heartily "second tho motion."
Clemson offers advantages that no
other place in the three counties
could afford. Nor do we say this
because Clemson ('ollege happens to
be located in Oconee county. It is
so near the lint's of three counties as
1o be almost common ground so far
RS Anderson, Oconeo and Piekens
connti?, aro concerned.
Mr. ??ribllng also makes another
good suggestion, namely, that those
Interested give expression to their
views on the subject. The Courier
will lie glad Indeed to ii .nish the
medium for such public expression,
and our columns aro open to promot
ers and others interested in this Trl
County Fair movement.
Let us get together and settle on
Clemson as the "home" of the Tri
County Fair. There aro many rea
sons upon which u base the belief
that Clemson will bo quite ready to
be settled upon. A fair such as this
Trl-County Fair could be made
would be of great advantage to the
institution, and certainly Clemson
would add untold Interest and ad
vantage to the fair.
Mr. Stabling's suggestion is most
timely. Let us get together and act
upon it. We believe that the Clem
son authorities will take kindly to
tho proposition.
A Trl-County Fair at Clemson
would lie assured of success so soon
as its definite location at that, point
could >-e announced to the public.
WE HOPE THEY'LL GET IT.
The State Farmers' Union will
convene in annual session at the Isle i
of Palms to-day and remain In ses
sion for three days. This ls not only
quite a large body of men, but it is
a very representative one. and the
annual sessions ol' the State Union
are of great importance to a wide
territory and a large membership.
We note with pleasure that tho
representatives of Oconee county in
the State Union will make an effoi t
to sci ure the next annual meeting of
the state organ Iza tl >n of the fanners
for Oconee and Walhalla, and we
sincerely hope that they will prove
iticcessful. We believe that every
citizen ot the town will co-operate
most heartily with the Oconee Farm
ers' Union In entertaining the dele
gates from all over the State in the
?.vent that tho body should decide to
.hold its next annual session within
our borders.
Dispatches stun out ol' Columbia
last Saturday to the daily press con
veyed tho lollowing gratifying in
forma Hon :
The Oconee County Farmers' Un
ion is off with a good start in the
race to secure the annual convention
of thc State Union al Wall.alla nexl
year, according to a letter received
this morning liv .I, Whinier Reid,
secretary of the state organization.
The invitation to hold the meeting
al Walhalla will ?Iso be presented
from the door by tho county's repr?
sentai ives.
This evidence of In tc real In the
Work was received with pleasure by I
officers of the union. lt had been ,
thought that Oconee, being so far
from Charleston, would not have a
representative at tho convention, but
the letter to Mr. Itei.l this morning
states thai the county will bo repre
sented and formally presents Its
claims as tho convention city for next
year's meeting.
Oconee has one of the livest coun
ty Unions in the ?State, and lt ls to
be hoped that tho State organization
will acquiesce in the request of the
dolegates from thin county. Tho an
nual meetings have for some time,
we believe, been 'hold In the more
centrally located cities and towns of
the State. This year, however, the
gathering is In tho extreme South
ern section, and lt would be nothing
moro than In keeping with this
branding out of the organization
.that the next session should come to
Oconee, which would give the dele
I
gates opportunity to visit "the other
sido" ot the State.
IASI us have the next session by all
means if possible. Tho gathering
hero would be mut nally agreeable, we
feel sure._
Dispatches announce that the
White House is being ' touched up"
by painters. The President and Sec
retary of State also seem to be com
ing in for a "touching up" by the
dirt-daubers.
There's not lung surprising in the
iact that the thermometer registered
107 in Oaffnej Inst week. What
else could we expect when it is re
membered thal lid. DeCamp, presi
den I ol the State Press Association,
had tho "holiest proposition" in
South Carolina newspaper business,
lives there?
Hanks, of the Anderson Mail, pass
ed through Walhalla last Thursday
afternoon in u great hurry. He car
ried a bung bole up to Stumphouse
mountain and nailed it up some
where between the month of the
Hine Ridge tunnel and Shaft No. I.
We presume he is taking his "rath
skeller-' outfit up piecemeal.
Recently the Columbia state re
marked: "Somebody asks why cities
are aclled 'she." and our guess is
that lt is because they have out
skirts."
"However," asks the Wilmington
Star, "can a city be said to be fash
ionable when she has no Schlitz in
her outskirts?"
Which explains the remarkable
work of Columbia's officials in de
stroying some ol' the city's tine trees.
Evidently they are trying to remove
all obstructions so that everybody
can Bee right through her outskirts
and view the city proper. Our Capi
tal City should have moro regard for
the proprieties.
The War Department has an
nounced that a special detachment of
United States regular troops, to
gether with machino gun equipm t,
will l>e sent to Anderson for the en
campment of State troops, which
opens at that city to-day and will
last for eight days. Since this an
nouncement it is believed that thou
sands of people will take advantage
of low rates offered and go to An
derson for the purpose of observing
tho manoeuvres of the State troops,
the expert work of th? United States
regulars and the special work which
will be done by the United States
specially equipped machino gun out
fit. The railroads ha ve announced
very low rates -tc Anderosn on ac
count of the encampment. Inquire
of your railway agent for informa
tion.

JULY TWENTY-ONK, 18?
Fifty-Second Anniversary of the ? lr*,
little Of MiUlHMKUN.
-
Last Monday, July 21st, wi ? he
flfty-second anniversary of HM fl rai
battle of Manassas, in which ?
Oeoneeans participated, and t in
cident ls recalled annually by hose
who had peculiar reasons to ha th?
events of that day Impressed ?p??
their minds.
J. W. Illleman, one of the urvL
vors of Orr's Regiment, in sp? UK
ot the matter, stated Monday t
all those from Orones who p.i
pated in the First Mattie of Mai
he knows of but two in this co .nu
llity who 'fought at this "open; ig ol'
hostilities" and are still here o re
call the actual happenings of tl day
from personal observation,
two are C. L. Reid and John I). I l'y,
not h of Walhalla. Mr. Perr is
quito a young-looking man
though there ls no questionin
tact that lu- is on the down wan
of the hill, In spite of his eon <ara
tively youthful looks. Mr. Rei.?
less fortunate than Mr. Perry, he
having been literally shot to pb . .
during the four years of hard
vice, and he is still suffering Hoir)
the effects of numerous bullet* thal
lound their way to his body, so ... ol
which lu? carries with him yet.
Mr. Holleman recalled the rac th?l
it was an indirect result of the FirOl
Hattie of Manassas that gave him his
first sight of a dead soldier of UH
Confederacy. Two Oeoneeans, V 'ddy
Hillhouse and Michael Hellotto. r?r<
participants in the battle on th? :1st
of July, and on the following da J
these two were walking about the
field when they espied a large sh?jjll
that had not exploded. Their uri
osity got the better of them, und
they began to examine into the mys
teries of the deadly shell, pick I tu; at
it with their knife blades. Tie fi
suit was disastrous, as the shell ex
ploded with terrific force, and the
bodies of both Hillhouse and Hel
lotte were brought to Sandy Springs
for burial.
On the same day that McGowan's
Brigade was engaged in the thick ot
the fight at Manassas several co upa
nies of Orr's Regiment were bei ok
formed at Sandy Springs. Orr's Reg
iment formed a portion of
Gowan's Brigade. First and last;
they were a gallant aggregation.
Orr's Regiment, In the height of its
glory, numbered in excess of l ,200
mon. After Manassas. Fredei
burg, Richmond, and numerous ptr**?
hard-fought battles, Including the
fateful fourth at Gettysburg, orrV
Regiment-as brave a band of men
as ever fought on a gory flt ld
emerged few in numbers, bullet- l ai
red and battle-worn, but solillen
still and loyal to the Southland anil
her Cause.
The results of these flftj t?W<
years show that they but emt rgoc
from the bloody battlefields of t
age and death Into scarcely 'esf
uerce fields of battle where 'he}
fought poverty, amid ruined hornet
and a desolated country. We ol to
day realize but in a small dogie?
what we owe to these men who wore
the grey. We see but the gran
suits of their sacrifice and labor, bul
the obstacles against which they ,
fought and the difficulties they ov< v
came are too remote for us to e^ I
picture in our imagination with
degree of accuracy.
All honor to the members of Ort -
Regiment who still live! All ho
to those who have gone before! \nd
no less do we feel pride In the e
armies of the Confederacy, an.: o
whit less do we honor them, whether
they be in the spirit or still in the
flesh! In war they were foemen
worthy of the steel of their brethren
of the greatest nation on earth. In ,
peace they have proved themselves,
even in defeat, more than conquerors.
Though the fortunes of war were ; |
mercilessly against them, they have j
brought forth from the ash-heaps of ,
their homes and the devastation of
their lands a country far greater
than that which was swept away be
fore the hand o' the enemy fifty
years ago..
