to be delivered at RowesviUe and Denmark,

John F. Simmons, Rowesrille, S. C.
Bamberg it seems was not the only
place where the cannon cracker shooters
annoyed people during Christmas week
The Newberry papers complain of the
practice there as well. We really think
that the shooting of any kind of fire
works should not be allowed on the business
portion of Main street, for they are
certainly a menace to life and property.
We hope that next Christmas there will
be a change in this matter.

DENMARK'S CARNIVAL.
A Rood >Yrito-ni) of the Attraction at
Denmark Last Friday and Saturday.
Future history will probably record the
wonderful impetus given to the advertisement
of this town by the Seaboard Air
Line Railroad Company during the Carnival
and fair which closed last Saturday
night. It was appropriate in many respects,
as the old year is limping away,
wearied and burdened with progress,
wearied and harrassed by every day
grumblers, bruised by maddened fanatics
and possibly overladen by tons of old
century plunder, with hundreds of use
less people blocking me roau 01 progress
for the last time.
Railroads, the prodigy of labor, skill
and wealth, have been the means of opening
up to settlers vast territories ol'fertile
lands and the agency through which
thousands of magnificent cities have
been in time past built up in every part
of this great country. They are veritable
monuments of the thrift and money
magnates, yet essential elements in the
specific make-up of the social, the political,
and the commercial life of this
wonderful American people.
It is the commercial power of these
railroads which is now engaging the attention
of the business men of this little
town.
Our merchants have been making
gains through the prosperity of the surrounding
country rather than through
anv business qualities of their own.
Competition wrecked al! old plans, and
the great commotion in its industrial
rod commercial life has given to our
merchants new ideals, which if studied
ind perfected will ere lorig la}' the
corner-stone of a beautiful little city unsurpassed
in point of advantage and
location by any other in South Carolina.
The great Carnival and Fair just concluded
at this place has revealed to this
people the true value of advertisement,
it is an advertisement which will he
studied and tested by the Wall street investor
and possibjy the far Eastern busiiess
men will sit in their private offices
tnd become elated over the unclaimed advantages
locked up in the possibilities of
his little cross road town, Denmark.
The object of the Carnival was to
furnish amusement to the people and to
ulvcrtise the advantages of the town and
surrounding territory. The best of all
iinds of agricultural products, woods,
ambers that are at and near Denmark
lave been collected and will be exhibited
luring similar fairs to be held throughout
the South and North. It is carrying the
ulvantages of the place and community
to the homes of migrating people and
prospecting capitalists, that the capability
and productions of the section may become
known. Climate conditions have
txcen discussed and recorded, water-supply
tested alid photographs taken of the
ittractive buildings, which will be handsomely
mounted and arranged for future
lisplays through the North and elsewhere.
Large quantities of pamphlets containing
maps of Southern States and the
special location of Denmark, will be
printed and placed in thousands of enterprising
cities throughout the United
States. In fact, a courteous invitation
lias been tendered to capitalists and all
snterprising people to join in building
up the town: It is the appeal of the advantages
of the place. The people are
snly manifesting great joy for having
such opportunities to offer.
This covers the plan of advertisement
which has cost bbe people comparatively
nothing1, and most assuredly will be the
key note of its future glorious history.
Mr. Albert Graybill, the efficient
manager of the Southern Carnival Association,
deserves special mention for his
excellent executive qualities and the
special interest he has manifested in behalf
of this town. The enthusiasm and
genuine patriotism displayed by the
whole community have thoroughly impressed
Mr. Graybill and the entire
corps of Carnival directors. Denmark is
placed at the top of the list. The Seaboard
officials will be all smiles when they
hear of the wonderful success of the
whole undertaking. The general satisfaction
affirmed by -visitors and citizens
has made possible the permanent organization
of the Carnival and Fair which
will take place at this town during succeeding
years. This is a twentieth century
idea.
The following executive committee was
appointed to shape the future plans of
this association just so far as Deumark
and community are expected to respond:
F. H. McCrae, chairman ; W. S. Cooper,
J. B. Guess, A. G. Yarn, S. D. Guess, E.
T. LaFitte, and J. Arthur Wiggins.
Having made plain the object of the
Carnival, permit me Mr. Editor, to describe
to you and your intelligent readers
some of the many incidental attractions
which characterized the Fair from the inception
of the plan to the breaking Of
camps late Saturday night.
The weather was disagreeable, but the
grand parade was a very creditable affair.
Many beautifully decorated carriages,
buggies, horses, bicycles and people presented
a large, imposing group as they
began to assemble at the High School
building Friday morning. A large body
of school children assembled there also
to join in the inaugural ceremonies.
* * * _r
The procession was lea oy a numoer oi
citizens on horseback. Many of the horses
in rank were raised in this community.
The orderly deportment of all and the
knightly appearance of the happy column
reminded one of the good old days past
and gone, when chivalry was a part of
man's living. Jovial Charlie CailifT led
the column. The high step of his Kentucky
steed and the pleasant smiles of the
rider depicted a scene of confidence and
success. Mr. CailifT was chosen to act as
chief of police during the holding of the
Carnival. Loud were the shouts and huzzas
of the patriotic populace as this valiant
brigade began the parade. Next to
fall in line were the long Hue of decorated
vehicles and attractive floats. The advertisement
of the millinery establishment
of Mrs. M. B. Matthews was uniquely
44 .1 tbn nffontiAn nf
gOUCIl up ilUU iUlliltlcu nit aiiiunuii ...
all who saw it. The nature of this real
tloat was a gorgeously but tastefully decorated
carriage drawn by two beautiful
horses. The occupants of the vehicle
were three of the prettiest young ladies
in town, each decked with a stylish hat,
the best skill of the milliner's hand. The
driver of this carriage is much loved by
young ladies. In rank of affection he
comes next to hats. Your correspondent
alludes to Mr. Julian Storne, a personal
float of his own mercantile business and
a typical float of the grade of bachelors
I that thrive in this community. The reai
I of the procession was made up of hun
I
dreds of merry schoolchildren, a number |
of whom rode beautifully adorned wheels.!
Music was furnished by the famous Oliver
family. The procession marched through
the principal street of the old town leading
directly to the new town, where the
encampment was located. This brilliant
part of the program was ended without a
mishap. Then the doors of the attractive
shows were opened, and the rush was on
for two days and nights. The Educated
Horse, the Oliver show, and the Electrical
Theatre were the most popular places,
although the Wild West show, Paris Exposition
and the many others were always
crowded. All leaped a line profit, and
were ever complimenting the people oi\
the very fine behavior which characterized
the occasion from start to finish. The
people came to get the amusement and to
make the social phase a memorable one.
The exhibits were not as numerous as
tliev miirht have been. A hall in which
to store valuable exhibits could not be
procured, therefore many attractive and
interesting things were withheld.
If you will pardon the digression, I
will say that a town hall is badly needed
here, and the business men propose to
conduct the next municipal campaign
with this one issue in view, that its future
welfare and general public interest may
be more generously guarded. This hall
ought to he completed before another
Carnival is held here.
It is the opinion of your correspondent
that a great mistake was made in the
method of awarding premiums. The premiums
were given mostly for largest variety
of exhibits by any one person. In
this instance quantity outclassed quality.
Among the various articles and products
exhibited by the community were corn,
rice, potatoes, garden products, canned
fruits, preserves, pickles, domestic wine,
fancy work, paintings, war relics, curios
of many kinds, brick and machinery. The
S. A. L. Company had on exhibition
various kind of seed, timber, sea shells,
bird eggs, colonial and war relics, along
with a variety of curios.
The Denmark High school had on exhibition
excellent work in geometry and
drawing, paintings, and several series of
exceptionally line maps, all of which
were the work of pupils. -Paul Perry a
boy in the eighth grade deserves special
montirtn ?inrl the eomnliments of the en
tire community for the excellent drawing
and sketching of the handsome* school
building.
The premiums were awarded as folfollows:
Poultry?Asa Baxter.
Farm and garden products? S. D. M.
Guess and Son.
Canned fruits, preserves and pickles?
Miss Julia Cooper.
Fancy work?Miss Lillie Cooper.
Largest exhibit from any one school?

pleased.

Bamberg Guards Banquet.
The annual banquet of the Bamberg

uuartis loos place ai jolucsuu > runci lust
Friday evening, and was a very nice affair
indeed. It was largely attended by
the members of the company and several
invited guests were present. The banquet
was admirably managed, and reflects
great credit upon the ofliccrs of the company
and Host Johnson. During the evening
Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., in a distinctively
appropriate speech, presented to
Capt. W. Russell Wright a handsoirie Masonic
pin, given by the members of the
company as a token of the love for and
confidence in their commanding officer.
Captain Wright accepted the gift in a few
well-chosen words.
There were iy> set speeches at the banquet,
but several were called out and responded
pleasantly. One of the features
of the evening was the presence of Mr.
Wm. Cooner, a member of the old Bamberg
Guards, who fought through the war
with the company and -was a gallant soldier.
He was/called on to speak, and in
' the course of his remarks he paid a high
tribute to Capt. Wright's father, I)r. L. A.
Wright, who was made captain of the
Guards after Capt. I. S. Bamberg resigned
in 18G3, and commanded the company at
the surrender at Appomattox. In fact
he was captain of the company at most
of the important battles of the war, and
was a gallant officer. Mr. Cooner was
the only member of the old command
present, and his presence and speech
were highly appreciated. About twelve
o'clock the assemblage dispersed, having
spent a most delightful evening.

Little Willie had been sick since September
last, and although his suffering
was great he bore it patiently. He realized
some time ago that lie would never
get well and remarked that he would like
for those who were going to^ive him
presents at Christmas to do so soon, as he
would not live to see Christmas. The
little fellow's predictions was well-nigh
fulfilled. It should be a great comfort to
the sorrowing parents that Willie, although
young in years, had the faith of a
true Christian and passed to a 1 etter
world fully trusting in his God. He was
the eldest son, ami his sad death rends
the hearts of his loving parents. We,
with their many friends, extend our sincere
sympathy.*
