The State Fair.

The premium list OF the State Fair has been
received at this Office. It comes from q press
in Ohio. 1t Is always we'll to send such work
out of the State. especially when the Fair is
proposed to encourage home enterprises, and
to inspire in our people the desire and the
effort for greater and higher things. II the
premium list had been printed at any one OF
the many printing offices in South Carolina
the others might have been jealous. AS 1t Is,
all the newspapers have been treated alike,
and all may now cheerfully ohip In and give
all the fine advertising that may be needed.
OF course no newspaper in the State would
expect to receive pay for setting up free pufs
The newspapers are very generous set,
and they seldom fail TO lend their aid 10
needy institutions. Ofcourse the authorities
ofthe Fair meant no unfairness to any body
in awarding their printing. They no doubt
advertised for bids, which advertisement we
did not see, and the Ohio printer was perhaps
justly entitled to 1t. He will no doubt help
the South Carolina printers to advertise the
show whose favor II has received.

Religious Notes.

A large congregation assembled at the
Methodist Church last Sunday night to hear
the Rev. w. r. Richardson, D. D. DR.. Rich
ardson was once pastor Of this congregation,
where he was greatly beloved for bis kindly
heart, his ability and his christian character.
Our people Of whatever denomination, we're
glad to see him back again amongst us.
The Presbyterian and Episcopal churches
being closed for the evening, the members Of
these communions worshipped with the other
congregations Some went TO the Methodist
church. some TO the Baptist church, and some
TO the Associate Reformed church.
The Baptist people have been conducting
religious services nightly for more than q
week. The attendance has been large and the
interest has been all that could be wished.
Last Sunday our people seemed to be In.
clined to worship, and more OF them were at
the various ch urches than usually attend.
When the services are interesting. when
christian fellowship prevails. and when the
people assemble in their usual places OF wor.
ship the whole world seems akin. and when
brotherly feeling exists, 1t sttests the klnship
of God.

Christian Advocate was in town last week,
and during his stay made call at the Press

Dr. Richardson at the request Of the pastor,
Mr.. Wells, conducted services Sunday in the
Methodist church, whose members, and our
people generally. love him so well.
Under DR.. Richardson's editorial CONTROL

the religious press. DR.. Richardson's In
fuence is always for good, and evil doers
fear him for his goodness OF heart as we'll as
for his ability ip combating error.

Is the Toxaway Dam a Menace ?

The fears OF many persons have been
aroused because of the existence Of the Tox-
away dam. Whether the dam is properly
bailt we do not know, but we assume that an
incom petent person would not have been en-
trusted with 80 important work, and costing
30 much money, SS0,0OO
In regard to the danger various facts are to
be considered.
l. Is the dam good one and calcu ated TO
hold the strain against It?
2. The water being deep, Is the. dam high
enough and is the reserve strength sufficient
to resist the waves which strong wind may
throw againstit?
8. Is the dam at the top properly guarded
so as to prevent damage or wear by the
waves?
4. But little danger need be expected from
rains or floods. Defects in its construction
and the lashing Of the waves are its source OF
danger
5. FIVE months time was required to fill
the dam. This would indicate that the water.
shed which 1t drains is small. The rains
which generally fell on large surface In that
length OF timo would have filled 1t much
earlier.
G. The po1d Oh lake being large one the
surface could not be raised great deal by
any rain. A four-.nch rise is scarcely posi-
BILE. and the increased danger from the higher
water would be inf1nitessimai.
Z. The effect on the stream below the dam,
would be to lessen the danger from the floods
which usually overflow the low lands.
8. In dry weather the amount OF water In
the stream below the dam is materially re-
duoed because o: che evaporation which such
a large surface .ould cause. In wet weather
the stream WOW! not be 80 much affected, be-
cause OF the large surface TO fill In the dam
before any great Increase could be affected In
the wasteway or spillway. Longer time after
a big rain, would be required for the water to
pass.
8. The dam having cost a large sum, and
the people having stood by and allowed the
structure 10 be built the owners OF the pro.
perty should be protected in Its possession.
They should not be deprived OF their property
because Of fears which may be aroused by
newspapers which know nothing Of the
actual condition OF the dam.
We oughtn't TO lynch the property, nor
envy the owners OF the possession of It..
They are trying to make q summer resort,
which may be attractive. 1t Is across the
State line in North Carolina. but is not so
very far away from us.

Abuse of the Word appointment" ;"

Prominent people do everything these
days. II bank is robbed 1t is always by
prominent people. II couple OF young peo-
pie marry. the groom Is prominent.
In all these performances 1t may be truly
said that those who take leading parts are
prominent actors.
For instance: The man who robs a bank
is prominent in that undertaking. at least
the man at Court charged with murder Is 9
prominent or conspicuous figure; the man
at hanging who is found at the business
end OF q rope is also prominent. But it Is
hardly necessary to 30 state. That much
may be taken for granted. II may be as
sumed that the reader knows little.

Good Suggestion.

And whil. we are on the subject OF improp.
er and inconsiderate newspaper reports,
there is another Of that class, which, we sub-
avoid or suppress. 1t is tho publications, now
40 common, OF the name OF woman or girl
who has been the victiEc or object of an In
famous assault Surely, such an experience
having her name advertised to the world and
put on permanent record in the public prints.
We would further suggest that the newspa-
pers give criminals and others fewer certid-
Gates of character. II difficulty occurs al
house, In a city, the name or number Is
enough ITO give. The reading public cares
nothing about the prominence Of the evii
doer or The character Of the people at whose
house tbe incident occurs.

Charged to Edgefeld.

It will be remembered that two orphan
boys came to Abbeville several years ago
from Edgeheld, and were cared for by some
of our kind-hearted people. A young man
by the same name and pal, were caught In a
store In the city OF Atlanta.
The owner heard the burglars and fired
at them through the door, wounding young
man named Woods from Edgefeld county.
We do not know If the orphan boys Of Edge

burglar in Atlanta, who charged his nativity
to Edgetield. Poor old Edgefield

A man may live q morally wrong life for
long time without anybody having direct
evidence of the wrong he hes done But there
are two revealers of wrong life which no

conscience writes its presence in his whole

VIENNA, Now 22.-The credit OF
Servia in Europe stands at the pres
ent moment at its lowest ebb. Wher-
ever King Peter turns to obtain money
with which to establish the stability
of his throne, he is met with re-
fusaL
Driven to desperation, representa-
tive of the Serviany government yes
terday called at the branch office in
Vienna of the Gresham Life Insurance
company with view to obtaining
loan on the security of the kings life.
His efforts, however, were unsuccess-
full.
The unfortunate representative of the
discredited monarch had made the
rounds not only of all the banks In
Vienna, but also of the private MIL
.lionadre money-lenders, in vain en-
deavor to obtain a loan, and the fall
ure Of his last effort to obtain $4,000
on the frail pledge of the kings life
was the last straw.
1t will be remembered that King
Peter sent Prince Arsene to Paris. hop
ing that his influence would obtain for
him monetary aid; but the banks re-
fused to accede to his request, and he
was obliged to appeal, without success,
to some well-known millionafres.

FRENCHMAN INVENTS
sTf NEW STYLE OF AIRSHIP
II Has Three PropeIIers and VIII Try to
Cross the Mediterranean.

PARIS. Nov 22-Still another steer
able balloon is about to play through the
air, the Francois No 1, which is being
built by an army engineer at Toulon, and
which is nearly completed.
The ne wairship's only striking novelty
is set of three propellers instead of two
or four, as has hitherto been proposed
Two of these will be placed in front and
the third will be fixed at the rear of the
light, wiry frame, which is appended to
the balloon at a distance of three meters.
q The rear propeller will be used for the
purpose Of steering. A sliding weight
will be attached to the frame, by means
of which the upward or downward move
ment of the balloon may be effected.
The form of the balloon will resemble
that of torpedo. 1t is very elongated
and will have a capacity of 500 cubic
meters, being twenty-five meters LONG
and six meters in diameter
Trials will soon be made by the in
ventor over the Bay of Toulon. and, if the
air ship is successful, he will cross the
Mediterranean, a feat which he is conf
dent of accomplishing.
