STATU FAIR FINE.
Tine F.^co3 r.nd Exhibits of Great
Variety.
Columbia, Special.?The first day's
racing was excellent and measured
op to the highest expeo'ition. The
^ tstart was prompt at the hour named,
and continued with practically no
waits between heats while the trotting
and pacing events were on, but
r- ^ when the runs began the delays also
began. "Twas ever thus. The concentrated
essence of contrariness|
State and the other for the training
of tlie boys?the industrial side ol
their education was stressed. To be
able to do the material things of life
is what is taught at these two colleges,
and to the people of the State
the results of their eft'orts are exhibited.
In the sheep and goats department
at the State fair there were some very
attractive animals and in the lis*
of tntries there were an unusually
large number of this class of stock
considered high breed. The authorities
plan to gradually add to this
department as interest in stockraising
increases in this State. That
the interest is increasing is shown by
the large number who visited the
stalls and obtained information on
the value of high class stock.
One of the interesting and at the
same time promising features of the
State fair is that of the best farm
display. The idea of tlie association
is to encourage the raising of small
crops and living on the farm as
much as possible. The association
offered two prizes, one of $7.") and
another of $7)0 for the largest variety
of articles raised on one farm. There
were four contestants for these prizes.
Messrs. C. Uodgers of Fountain Inn,
S. L. Rawl of Lexington, S. 15. Crawford
of Great Falls and G. B. Wini

guru ui i^exingion.
It is such exhibitions as these
farmers made that show in a measure
the possibility of good farmers
in this State. Here are just a few
of the articles that were shown in
one or two of the displays under this
classification: Sausage, blackberry
jely, fig preserves, pear preserves,
lard. milk, cane sugar, cucumber
pickles, peach custard, muscadine,
muscadine jelly, sour cucumber pickle,
beet pickles, blackberry wine, tomato
catsup, sweet pickled pears, peach
preserves, apple jelly, sweet pickled
peaches, sweet pears, blackberry acid,
sorghum syrup, plums, dried apples,
gooseberry jelly, popcorn, sugar cane
svrun. muscadine. dried hm"
gooseberries and okra, whort laberries,
peaches, red pepper catsup.
wine, hops, six to eight varieties
of apples, eggs, watermelons,
dish rag squash, several rarities of
Irish potatoes, a number of rarities
of sweet potatoes, mutton suet, beef
sue', oiirht to ten rarities of corn,
rarities of cotton, rice, wheat, bell
peppers, persimmons, cantelonpes.
pecans, walnuts, pomegranates, hickory
nuts, soap, gherkin, turnips, rad,
jshes, onions, wool, meal, sage, cane,
peas, four rarities of peanuts. In
one of the displays there are as many
at 1") rarieties of corn. The ossortment
of good things from honey to
sage show what can he done on the
average farm in this Stale. Mr. Raw!

B. A. llagrod, his rounsol. said, however
.that tlie information furnished
was the first news that he had of the
indictment of Farnum. Not having
jttan the indictment, lie was not prepared
to discuss it, hut he presumed
that the indictment is similar to that
' found in Ricl land. Mr. Hngood said

James 8. Farnum for bribery.
Bench worrents were issued for the
arrest of Rawlinson, Black, Farnum '
and Solomons. '
seems to liave been developed in running
horses, their owners and the
jockeys, against which the good genii,
represented by the starter and the
judges can not avail. However, the
crowd that graced the grandstand
had dwindled to a few dozen by the
time the running raees began, so that
no harm was done to anybody's pa
tienee except to the race oftlcials and
they being inured, were able to stand
the hardship.
Two exhibits that attaractcd
much favorable comment at the Fair
.grounds were those from Wnilhroj:
College gnd from Clemson. At both

Jntt. 2:1: "Bethlehem of .Tudea."

And thou Bethlehem, land of Jui,

Piie scene of a pre-eminent birth,

piration to those followers of the
Lord who are privileged to gaze
in it.
fou reach it from Jerusalem by a
id, which no doubt Joseph anil
ry and Jesus traveled, leading
st the "upper chamber" 'neath the
tlements of the city's southern
!!: wells notable with reminiscences
the magi, of Uaviil. and of Mary,
11* the tomb of Rachel. It is a trip
i t?i lie forgotten. A journey link'
the lirst and tin- last days of tho
rthly ministry of the Son of the
>r living God. to whose life and sacice
the world owes such a deht.
In the Gospel according to St. Luke
? second chapter and the fourth
se. we read: "AmiJoseph also went
from Galilee, out of the city of
tzaretli, into Jnd?a. to the city of
ivid, which is called Bethlehem, be

Tin* statement is as concise and as
arly made as it is geographically
met. Nazareth is about 1000 feet
ovi' the level of the Mediterrc ?an;
e highest point in the immediate
virotimei.t is the Jeb;-I es Sikh, a
11 rising to a height of 1002 feet
(1 just to th" northwest of Nazarh;
Mount Tabor, the most t-onspicuis.
its the nearest, mountain within
-y distjince of Nazar* ' is only
12 feet above wat?> *?t its

The rise rroiU :he?i
giddo. over which of necessity
sepli would have crossed, to Bethletn
is nearly half a ntile.
Likewise, with characteristic Bibll1
fidelity of description, the story
ties that Joseph went up INTO Jua.
Nothing could better ntlrror the
:t. Jerusalem is near the northern,
Hebron commands the southern,
rder of Judea. But to get to Beth^v'u
you inusi go"into Judea." even
{j. <jrive at Hartford you must go

n must travel into China.
Luke also relates that "Joseph
