What m" Sees and Hears on His
Rounds About the City and Along
Route NO.. 8.
Abbeville, S. c., Oct. 80, 1912.
THE COUNTY FAIR

Abbeyille, S. c., Oct. 80, 1912.
THE COUNTY FAIR.
On entering the fair grounds last Friday
we were most agreeably, as we'll as won
derfully surprised, first at the great con
course Of PEOPLE, men, women and chill
dren from all parts of Abbeville county, as
well as from adjoining counties, estimated
at from $500 to 5000. 1t was an immense
tllrong surging TO and fro, a. in q good
humor and seemingly we'll pleased with
their visit, and having a pleasant time
meeting old friends and comrades whom
they had not seen in many lorg years, and
It's sad when we think may never meet
some OF them again for their eyes are
dimmed and their locks frosted by the
SHOWS Of many winters, and their steps
once quick, are now feeble and slow, yes,
tottering to the grave; considering all
these things how glad We should be of this
pleasant opportunity for such a pleasant
gathering.
Mr.. C. V. Hammond is in the city, the
guest of his brother, Mr.. j. S. Hammond
and family.
Miss Alleene, the pretty daughter of MIR.
G. P. Hammond, is in the city visiting rel
atives for a few days, when she will return
to Lander College at Greenwood.
The "mind reader" Is just now interest
ing the people Of the city, having them on
the 60 by day and by night. She is Won
derful in her mind readings OF the present,
past and future.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Wilson, together
with Mr.. and Mrs. John b. Gilbert, arrived
in the city last Saturday after a delightful
trip to Staunton, Virginia, where they
were most delightfully."- entertained by rel
atives.
Mr.. j. D. McGaw, on route three, is now
finishing up his beautiful modern resi-
dence, and in it Is realizing his fondest
hopes in the building Of his own home.
We congratulate him (as he did nost OF
the work HIMSELF and wish for him and
his happy wife many long years Of happi.
ness, health and great prosperity.
This has certainly been a gala week in
the city.

THE SECOND REGIMENT
BAND OF ANDERSON

Everybody who attended the Coun-
ty Fair commented upon the fine mus
ic rendered by the Second Regiment
Band, of Anderson. Mr.. T. R. Var
borough is the chief musician and he
has gathered about him an aggrega-
ton of young men who are thorough
ly in sympathy with his desire to
have the best band in the State. An
derson is particularly fortunate in
having an organization of this kind in
her midst. The band is this week in
attendance upon the State Fair in Co.
lumbia, where it will afford pleas
ure to the thousands who are attend
ing the event. Abbeville hopes to have
Mr.. Marlborough and his boys again
in her midst at some early time.

would have to lose his leg, on account
Of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad

1t seems to be unanimous that this
was the best fair yet.
Visitors to the Fair from adjoining
counties, expressed themselves as
we'll pleased with the fair.
Mr.. R. L. Simmons, the poultry
Judge, says the Abbeville fair was a
shade better than the Charlotte IN.
c. fair.
The ladies of the Baptist church
served a real dinner for 25 cents.
Visitors to the fair who came from
nearby points were heard to remark
that cotton was bringing more in Abb
beville than in their home markets.
In some cases our market was said to
as much as an eighth of a cent high
er.
Looking at the splendid exhibits OF
farm and garden products, one found
it hard to believe that this was not a
good crop year.
Speaking Of garden products We
failed to note an exhibit Of celery
from the garden of Mrs. Minshall.
Our efficient postmistress has an ex-
ceedingly promising crop of this de-
liehtful relish which should net her
a handsome return for the time and
money spent. At the present writing
it is in a most flourishing condition,
evidencing painstaking and intelligent
cultivation.
The display Of colts on Wednesday
was one of the features of the Fair.
The Blue Grass State-the home OF
good stock-would have been proud
OF such a collection of fine animals.
An interesting exhibit was a collec-
ton of curios from the Philippine Is
lands. The collection contained sew
eral Filipino hats, some weapons of
war, including machetes, bolos, dag
gers, n kris and others. One OF the
bolos was marked with three notches,
to indicate the toll Of human life
which was due it. Mrs. w. R. Bradley
was the exhibitor.
A reminder of the olden days was
the spinning wheel on exhibition in
the curios department.
The display of wheat and home
made flour as we'll as several fine
hams and other good things reminded
an old gentleman Of the time when
everybody lived at home. This was be-
fore the advent Of the railroad, when
Hamburg was the nearest market, and
the trip there and back required a
weeks time.
If there Is any product Of the tenn
perate zone that can not be produced
in the highest state of perfection on
the soil of old Abbeville it would be
hard to imagine it after looking over
the exhibits.
Abbeville county is rich in mineral
put there was no exhibit
at the county fair.
Capt. G. N. Nickles lives at home
and boards at the same place if n
is to judge by the array OF good things
which his exhibit contained. Truly a
land flowing with milk and honey
must surround the Captain. We sus-
pect it was the good wife who planned
a good part Of his exhibit.
The pecans which were a part of
Mr.. Eb. Hughes display, were as fine
as the writer has ever seen. Mr.. Fos-
ter Hammond has planted these nuts
on his place. He hopes that by the
time he is ready to gather the first
harvest from them, he will have some
one to enjoy them with him.

SOME FAIR NOTES

Wham, consisting of Is pieces, would
do credit to the greatest pickle and
preserve factory in the country, much
less to a young matron, who was just
rounding out her first year as &
houSekeeper.
When it comes to roses Abbeville
can beat the world. A lovely vase en-
hibited at the Fair by Mrs. l.. o. Rob-
inson, of Antreville, were perfect be-
yond description.
Mrs. Robinson also exhibited some
rare specimens Of yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS.
Mrs. J. L. McMillan's exhibition Of
ferns was well worth seeing.
The collection of pot plants eXhib-
tied by Mrs. w. w. Bradley was 40
table.
Mrs. D. A. Dewey rendered good
Mrs. Dewey knows enough about poul-
try to make a book, and took pleas
ure in conveying any information to
visitors.
Mrs. ]. l.. McComb exhibited a COL
lection Of pantry supplies that would
make your mouth water.
A newspaper man who, because of
a habit formed in youth, neve feels
like he has enjoyed a fair unless he
can devour a red hot" was engaged
in that enjoyable pastime at the 7lcse
on Friday afternoon, and was attempt
ing to hide, as far as possible, when,
fled lawyer openly and without any
apparent qualms, engaged in a like
effort, which was some salve to his
conscience.
Mr.. E. H. Hughes had on display,
among a fine collection of garden pro-
ducts, some nice looking bell peppers.
Mr.. Hughes says he has Melted $14
from his pepper crop this yeai.
Mr.. o. S. Cochran's display Of farm
products was mighty good.
Anybody could see from his exhib-
hibit that Mr.. E. H. Hughes knows
about gardening.
Messrs. ]. w. McDill and D. E.
Newell both had some fine sorghum
IN exhibit.
Mr.. Will Syfan's display Of home
made flour shows hat Minnesota has
edge on us when it comes to the
stuff from which "the staff of life" is
made.
The pair Of 'possums shown by Mr..
T. Eakin at the fair were lie only
creatures that didn't have their eyes
wide open.
DR.. P. B. Carwile will never suffer
with cold feet, for his good wife is
an expert on knitting socks.
The young men of Abbeville should
be ashamed of themselves if they ever
let Miss Eugenia Coleman leave our
midst. The rolls she makes will surely |
make some man happy.
Mrs. Joe J. Link doesn't care SO
much about the meat trust, because
she knows how to cure her own hams.
Mr.. W.. ]. Reid knows something
about corn growing. His exhibit of
white corn was very good.
Messrs. w. T. King, Joe ]. Link and
C. NJ. Cason also displayed some
mighty good corn.

es which Mrs. w. T. Magill took for

count for that satisfied appearance
which always characterizes Mr.. Ma
gill's countenance.
Mr.. Will Syfan took first prize for
the best homemade flour and Mrs.
Syfan first prize for the best home
made bread. Now that's an ideal COM
bination for q happy home anywhere.
DR.. McMurray says he learned more
about poultry from n days attend
ance at the county fair than he could
learn in a months time from a book.
Mr.. w. A. Calvert also learned
something about chickens-that have
feathers where no feathers ought to
be.
Chief Elgin Of the fire department
was mighty proud Of the showing
made by Mutt" and Jeff" the splen-
did horses Of the department.
Mr.. Hugh Wilson was ar interested
spectator at the goat exhibit. Mr..
Wilson laid the foundation of his for

farm, and he is partial to his old-time
friends.
Many ladies who occupied the
grandstand are indebted to The Press
and Banner for preserving, their Sun
day best from the dust. But still there
were hundreds who took a copy home
with them. We hope they will enjoy
.perusing it's columns.
1t will be necessary for the Associa-
ton to provide more stalls for the rae
ing stock if the same standard is
maintained in this department.
If anybody went away dissatisfied,
We haven't heard Of it.
Mr.. w. A. Stevenson exhibited a
hog that was large enough for any
body.

LoRlMER's ATTORNEY
Rifles DETECTIVE BURNS
Latter Threatened to Stop Lawyers
Insults if Committee Didn't.

Washington, Jan. 31.--An effort to
impeach the testimony of Charles NC
Gowan, Hines Lorimer witness, who
testified he did not hear c. F Wiehe
make a statement about 100000
Lorimer fund, resulted today in a
stormy session of the senate committee
investigating the election of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois.
Detective William J. Burns was on
the stand. 1t had been planned that he
should lay the groundwork fol his de-
tectives to present proof Of Nc
Gowan's having "perjured" himself.
After a sharp clash Detective A. c.
Bailey produced q letter alleged to
have been written by MCGOWAN to
Bailey which Burns said was part Of
the evidence which convinced him that
MCGOWAN had not told the truth when
before the committee. The other parts
were admissions" MCGOWAN was al
legged to have made in Toronto to de-
tectives which were taken down by a
dictagrapP.
The letter was dated November
1911" Flora, Canada. After telling
my Dear Hart" of daily affairs, the
writer said that he was asked by the
Hines people to come to Toronto, and
in response he told them to come to
Flora. =
by God, they would have been
shown what forced hospitality was"
the letter continued. THE old shotgun
would have been loaded with Peters
No. 2. I made them come across. At
that, not all that I expected to. I had
TO threaten them with all kinds of ex-
posures."
MCGOWAN sat In the room behind
Hines as the letter was read.
Burns made trip to Canada ITO
get MCGOWAN to come to Washington
to purge himself" McGowan's father
asked Burns If he was the great de-
tective," and later Attorney Hanecy
spoke of Burns, the great detective"
The witness flew into a rage.
IF the committee does not stop his
insults, WILL" declared Burns Sen
ator Lea agreed that Hanecy was in
sulting the witness. Senator Fletcher
| added to the tense situation by assert
ing Hanecy was perfectly justified.
Senator Lea said the attorney was
| trying to make fun Of the witness. just
as the attorney has Of John Callan
| O'Loughlin, of the Chicago Tribune,
by referring to him as "the ex-secre-
| tary of state"
With Senators Lea and Fletcher at
odds, Chairman Dillingham; turned to
| Senator Kern Of Indiana for assistance
What do you think about it?" asked
| Senator Dillingham;.
"Of what?" queried Senator Kern
openins his eyes. The laughter which
| followed the question restored peace
and Mr.. Hanecy proceeded.
Hanecy asked the witness about the
extradition Of MCGOWAN. Attorney
| Healy of the committee suggested
| Burns should not believe all that was
! told him about extraditioh.
| Some lawyers do not recognize the
! extradition law when It is explained to
| them" snapped Hanecy,
"Are you referring to yourself?" ask
| ed Healy.
Chairman Dillingham; put ouletus

was not concluded today.
