Gratitude of Commandsr-Exhortat;oa OF
Chaplain.

DEAR EDIToR:-In behalf of the
United Confederate Veterans of Clar-
endo1. county, I thank you for your
support in assisting in making our
Reunion at Brewington a happE-
success both by your aid and pres
ence, and to the sons and daughters
of the veterans so ably led by their
Commander. J. II. Lesesne, and the
best committees ever on duty. wish
to extend to them our fraternal ap-
precautions. and will remember them
with hearts full of gratitude and
ehankfulness, as long as the old
Clarendon Veterans linger this side
of the great divide Mr.. Editor, while
encamped at Brewington with my
old soldiers around me, and the
gathering of the young and the old
men and women of Clarendon from
all directions with countenances
pictures of Joy and gladness, my
memory rushed to scenes familiar,
when the gentle hand Of the Sonth-
ern woman inspired deeds of valor
in time of war, and their aid at the
infrmary, the hospital, and camps
to Appomattox, and around the
crumbling chimneys of a desolute
home. We thank God to he mum.
bered with an inheritance that is
faithful and true. May Gods richest
blessings be with the sons and
daughters of Clarendon county, and
when the May flowers of Northern
spring time is blooming, the rem
nant of the old Veterans will gather
at Manning to join and deliberate
for the next annual camp, and as
there is only few more years re-
naming in the sand dial of life, it
Will be joy to the living, and as I
close my letter I wish to impress
upon the hearts of all the Veterans
the precious message from our Chap
lin, Rey. James Mcdowell, to EN-
brace the precious promises of the
christian" r. E. Lee and Stonewall
Jackson, and as the last of the rem
nant is on duty, may we be able to
Join the great majority on the other
side in favor of our Redeemer.

Please allow me space to announce to
my friends that it will be impossible
for me to make the race for the legis-

terlally conflict with my affairs, and to
thank them very much for the MANY

made the race.

EDITOR TIE MANNING TINES:
I beg space for few comments on
on some of your editorial matter IN ,Tour
issue August 5th.
Under Your editorial, ''Herald's Lame
Excuse" you make long and laboreo
effort in defending E. D. Smith. You
quote paragraph from The Herald S
editorial assigning his reasons for not
supporting Mr.. Smith. Near the close
of YOUR editorial you ask the question:
t.Why should his native county with
hold credit"
In this same issue you have an edi-
torial on Mr.. Blease, headed, soon
erang.' Then you 60 on to say, ne
Observer, published in the city of New
berry. by one of the most conscientious
editors in the State, editorially en-
dorses the reelection of Governor
Ansel. Coming as it does from Candl-
date Blease's home town, is significant.
When a candidate for the high ONCE OF
governor cannot have the endorsement
OF his county paper, 1t IS cause 1or peo-
pie to inquire before voting for him.
Bah! Why isn't sauce Tor the goose,
sauce for the gander"' ;.
In your next issue, why not state 1t
this way: When a candidate Tor the
| thigh(er) Office of United States Senator,
cannot have the endorsement OF his
(native) county paper, published in the
CITY of Sumter, ''by one of the most
conscientious editors in the State. 1t Is
cause for people to inquire before vot-
! in1 for him. -

demonstrated his ability to ind
an inconsistency, not in our
argument in defense of 3. d:
Smiths merit, but in the trivial
matter of directing attention to
the Herald's opposition to Smith:

opposition to Blease. Mr.. Bur
CESS says ;'Bah! Why isn't
sauce for the goose, sauce for
the gander?:" And then has the
temerity to tell US how we
should state a proposition. When
we need Mr.. Burgess counsel
! he Will be called upon, without
volunteering. The championing
of Mr.. Blease by Mr.. Burgess,
as his letter would seem to indi-
cate. may surprise some OF his
friends and kinfolk in Clarendon,
but if he is supporting Mr..
Blease sincerely he should come
out in the open, so there can be
no mistaking his position. The
Smith and Blease cases are not
at all parallel, nor analogous
altogether different. The New
berry Observer comes out
squarely in support of Governor
Ansel on a we'll defined issue,
while the Sumter Herald oppo-
ses Smith without giving a rea-
Eson worth considering. It is an
old woman's reason ''just be-
cause The Observer is puo-
!lished in Blease's home town and
county, while the Herald is pub
Ilished in Sumter, the county seat
of the county, where Smith was
born, but the county has since,
and quite lately, become dis
membered and Smiths native
place is in that portion which
went with Lee county. At
present Mr.. Smith is in Florence
(county.
] If Mr.. Smith was a resident OF
Sumter and his county newspa-
per declined to support him, it
would give US a good cause
to investigate for a good
reason, but when we, found
out the reason to be that
it's editor did not regard him
:sbrilliant" or in his opinion he
was not fruitful Of results" We
should reach the conclusion that
| the ':excuse:' was ''lame, and
there must be something else
to prompt such opposition. II
the opposition is not founded OF
|character and ability, it must be,

LOOK AT THE DATE.

Have you been watching the daily story of bargains Meigs & Co. have been telling? If you have you've kept informed regarding the ending of their big inventory sale. If you haven't mo- ticed this important event, look up the date when the sale ends--the last day will be next Tuesday-and you will be astonished to find how little time you have left in which to obtain your share of some of the best bargains of the sea- son. Mems summer suits and trou sers, youths suits, boys cloth and wash suits are all priced most temptingly. You also have an opportunity while the sale is on, of picking bargains among the Oxfords, mems Derbies, mems rain coats and Fall overcoats, and the trunks and bags, at 20 per cent off reg ular prices. The remarkable bargains in women's tailored suits, wash dresses, skirts, waists and raincoats, and in girls wash dresses, are attracting en- thusiastic crowds of shoppers from the very ends of Fairfield county. There never was such a money-saving time for women as this sale affords and the women are quicker to recognize it than the men do their opportunities in mems wears.

Several walking matches took place on the way over and back but it has not been decided yet who is entitled to the Iaurels. When the jolly bunch reached a certain farm er's house some two miles from Sandy Hook they found the genial William Collins of Brookfield and Joseph Brad ley who had started out to see who was the better man, up pear tree. Isn't it awful Mabel? They simply sang. Were Tying The Leaves so They won't Come Down." Good thing the farmer wasn't awake to enjoy the music. He might have accompanied them on shot gun.

BASEBALL.
EAGLES WIN EASY VICTORY.

EAGLES WIN EASY VICTORY.
 On last Saturday afternoon the New town baseball team were defeated at the hands of the Eagle team from Dan bury by the score of 22 to Il. The only redeeming feature of the game was the fact that Newtown was able to score Il runs which ought to have been enough to have won any two ordinary games. Manager Lillis was forced at almost the last minute to change the positions of the local players owing to the absence of three of Newtown's reg ular players. Lynch, who pitched for Newtown and who hasn't pitched be- fore this year should have won his game if he could have had any support. The only game besides this one that the local team has lost was the one to the Pastlmes or Danbury and they have been booked for another game here Labor day. This week on Satur- day afternoon at3.30 the strong Spar tan Athletic club of Danbury will be the attraction. Manager Lillis says he will have all of the strongest local players in their positions again and good game should be looked for. The line up for Newtown will be as fol- lows: Heating c, Warner D, Haugh 1b, Talty 2b, Osborne 3b, Bradley ss, Lynch If, Lillis of, J. Lynch If.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS

In the death of David Disbrow New Fairfield loses substantial and highly esteemed citizen and The Bee, good and valued friend. A lover of agricul. ture, he made success on the farm where many fail. Asa raiser and handler of Devon cattle he had few su- periors in New England, and as mana ger of the cattle department at the Danbury fair he became widely known. No cattle man was better known throughout Connecticut, and he will be sincerely missed. A man of old-fash- toned hospitality every cattle man found royal hospitality at his home. He was man who made friends and kept them. In The Bees large terri tory our vice president and general agent tells us he had no more loyal and hearty friend than David Disbrow. He liked The Bee and didn't hesitate to say so. It was mutual friendship, therefore, which sprang up between The Bee men and David Disbrow, and he was always eager to promote it's prosperity in every way. On Thurs day they lay his body away on the hill side he loved, but his memory will al- ways be green in the hearts of those who knew and loved him well.
 Everybody in Western and Southern Connecticut who can save up dollar by October goes to the Danbury fair. It's big show for the money; mon- ey maker for the Danbury Agricultural society, and the best advertisement the hustling, young and somewhat proud city of Danbury has to brag about. The Danbury fair is a great place to study humanity in its various phases. Hundreds go to see their friends, the women folks seizing the chance to talk over the latest news with Cousin Arimenta Ann, who jour- neys, perhaps, from the Cornwall hills. The fair opens on the 5th of October, this year. and continues through the week. The premium list is just out, handsome book, from the press of the Danbury News.
 The premium list of the eighth an- nual agricultural fair of the Greenfield Hill Country club, to occur September l5, 16 and Y has been laid upon our desk. The book is model of typo graphical neatness, and credit to the club. This fair has prospered amaz- ingly. It is clean, exhibition all the way through. The club is fortunate in having at its head some good business men, who have the fair and it's inter- ests at heart.

A BUMPER PEACH CROP.
NEWTON CURTIS A SUCCESSFUL
 PEACH GROWER.

It's worth drive of many miles to see the peach orchard of Newton Curt is on Curtis hill, which IS loaded down, this year, with the biggest crop he has ever raised. If all goes we'll he will have something like 3200 baskets of marketable peaches. MT Curtis has now something like 30 acres devoted to fruit growing, and is making a success of it. In company with Rob- ert H. Beers, the editor tramped for an hour through the orchard, Wednes- day, and every tree of the Elberta va- r1ety was loaded down to the ground. This is his main peach, although he raises the Mountain Rose, now ripen- ing, Old Nixon, Stump of the World and Common. Mir Curtis now has something like 25O0 trees in bearing and young orchard of 1900 trees that looks promising. He also has about 300 plum trees of the Burbank and Abundance variety, which have borne well, this season. He has also about 100 Bartlett pear trees now coming into bearing. The Mountain Rose peaches are now ready for market. The Elbertas come on about September 1. People drive for miles after his peaches and he hopes this year as in previous seasons to sell the most of the crop right in the orchard. In the early part of the season the ground under the trees is kept plowed and narrowed. Mir Curtis uses gang blow that turns three furrows at once. It is also nec- esasry to spray them with lime and sulphur. Mir Curtis has shown how to use old pastures and make them profit able. He has just completed new storing and sorting shed in his west orchard.
