But three weeks now remain until
the Abbeville County Fair will be held.
Preparations are still going to make
this a great Fair and the various COM
mittees are hard at work making the
necessary preparations.
Messrs. D. A. Dewey and ]. F. Brad
ley, in charge of the poultry depart
ment, have been fortunate enough to
secure the services Of Mr.. R. L. Sim
mons, of Charlotte, n c., as the judge
OF poultry. Mr.. Simmons is licensed
by the American Poultry Association
as a Judge, and exhibitors need have
no fear that the judging will not be
according 10 ihe rules OF the National
Association. Some splendid birds are
expected to be placed on exhibition,
and fanciers will be we'll repaid for a
trip to the grounds if only to see the
poultry exhibit.
A contract has been signed With the
Anderson Band to furnish music for
the occasion This is reputed to be a
strong aggregation of musicians ana

OF course the Airship will be a Dig

ton have never had an opportunity TO
see a real airship in charge OF an ex-
pert aviator and this is a chance you
cannot afford to miss. To see the snip
and examine it and see how it gets on
of the ground is the interesting part
of the exhibition. No additional charge
will be made into the Fair on account
of the ship although the Association Is
spending considerable to get the eX-
hibition. Thornwell Adams, the world
famed aviator, who had made many
records in this and other countries
has been secured to give the exhibi-

A Stormy Passage

The near-riot today occurred when
Mr.. ]. NJ. Greer, of Union, vigorously
assailed what he termed the arbitrary
action of Chairman Stevenson in call
ing a meeting of the committee IN
Charlotte. Mr.. Greer questioned the
right of that procedure and accused
the chairman of employing Czar-llke
tactics. 1t was not Mr.. Greer's actual
words so much but his agitated man
ner, his violent gesticulatlons ana the
tones employed that excited the croWo
to open participation in the proceed
ings. "Give it to 'em, Greer, shout-
ed one enthusiast. "You can't bring a
crowd of cut-throats here and tell Us
what to do in South Carolina, yelleo
another. go back to Charlotte, chin
cd in still another. Chairman Steven,
son cody raped for order and Stateu
that unless order was restored ne
would adjourn the meeting and tne
committee would hold secret sessions
This caused another vehement protest
from Mr.. Greer, whose pounding on
the chairman's desk and excited Woras
served to further fan the flames, whlch
we're beginning to crackle dangerous
". In substance, Mr.. Greer deiied the
chairman to adjourn the meetlng.

in the interests of the people as
whole without regard to party, creed
or class. No man ever sat In the
White house who has shown sucn
an interest as he has shown IN tne
welfare, the progress and happiness OF
the South. No candidate for presl-
dent has had greater right to ask or
expect the suffrages Of the citizens OF
the South than has the present In
cumbent, who at all times and In ali
seasons and circumstances has been
the president of a reunited country
and maintained that the South was
entitled to receive the same fair and
impartial treatment as that ACCORDED
other sections of our common coun-
try.
Appeal 70 Citizens
therefore, the Republican party OF
South Carolina appeals to all cltiZens
of South Carolina, without regard to
previous political affiliations, who be-
lieve in fair play and square deal,
who believe in progress on safe and
sane lines, who believe in maintaining
cur constitutional and representative
form of government, who believe that
the people OF this state should DC po-
ltically free and no longer bound in
the east iron straight-jacket OF the
Southern Democratic party to cast
their votes for President TAFT.
"The Republicans Of South Carolina
have placed in the field as candidates

; who are al worthy. unright men, ana
who command the respect OF the COM
munities in VII; they live. An op-
portunity is now offered for every
man in this State to vote IN presl-
Dental race his honest convictions.
I'VE urge all true men to vote for
the ticket, which IL their honest
judgment will best promote the inter-
est of the whole country.
I'VE hereby declare that all mem
hors, of he Republican State eXecu-
tive committee, as at present constltu-

selves and the organization we repre-
sent to support the candidates and

W. 0. BRADLEY Died
IN. WASHINGTON
Native Of Abbeville and Well
Known Here-Prominent
Lawyer at Abbeville
Buried at Cold
80, Springs. -.

Mr.. W. q. Bradley, formerly of Alb
beville county, late Of Washington, D.
c.. died at his home, Saturday, Sept.
%, 1912, of stroke Of apoplexy. He
was ffty-fve years old on the day of
his death. having been born on Sept.
28th. 1857. 49,. ::>-
w. q. Bradley was born in Abbeville
county, at what Is now the town of
Bradley. He was son of General P.
H. Bradley. He received his collie
giate education at Erskine college,
this county. Selecting law as a pro-
fession. he was admitted to the bar
and settled at Abbeville Court House,
where be was soon recognized as one
Jof the best as well as one of the most
successful lawyers at the bar.
In. June, 1893, Mr.. Bradley was ap-
pointed Chief of the Division Of Ju-
dicial Claims, Treasury department,
by President Cleveland. His ability
and accurate knowledge of the law
peculiarly fitted him for this: work
and enabled him TO hold the position
through each succeeding administra-
tion, until on account Of i'll health, he
resigned in 1908. GIG, ..
In 1879, Mr.. Bradley was married to
Miss Laura Moffatt and to them were
born five children. The eldest, Monatt,
Is chief of 9 division in the Post Office
department Thomas Is q lawyer in
active practice in the city Of Washing
ton. Willie O., is Superintendent of
the International Correspondence
School. John, is head of the Right of
Way department of the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone System. He is also
survived by daughter, Miss Mary,
and his wife. |
w. o. Bradley was man Of broad
and accurate information. A friend Of
his, member OF congress, said Of
him once that he had come in contact
with few men in public life whose in
formation was so general and yet so
accurate.
He was always a keen student Of
politics, and his estimate of public
men was remarkable. He knew the
statesman from the demagog, the man
of short cuts from the honest man,
and his more than twenty years Of
close contact with public men gave
him full opportunity to observe them.
He was an easy conyersationalist and
spoke with the accuracy of the his
torian. " '.....,
Many regrets are expressed here at
the death of w. o. Bradley. Though
he left Abbeyille twenty years ago, his
old friends recall his kindly manner
and his upright life. While they have
seen little of him since his removal
to Washington, they have abated moth
ing in their warmth of regard for him,
and they unite with the bereayed fam
lily In deploring his death. Mr.. Brad
ley was buried at Cedar Springs church,
this county, Sunday evening. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. R..
F. Bradley assisted by the Pastor Of
the church.
We shall see his face no more but
the memory OF his upright life will be
with US to point US to higher and bet
teP things.

FINDS BOARD At CLEMSON
MUCH LOWER THAN OTHERS

In view of the fact that the grand
Jury OF ADbeville county at the recent
term of court, in their presentment,
asked that a portion of Clemson's rev.
enue be diverted to other sources, 1t
is interesting to note the experience
of young man from Abbeville county.
Last year he attended Clemson, wnere
his board cost $3.50 per month. Ihls
wear he is attending Auburn college,
where his board costs him $500 per
month, and at the Georgia Tech,
where he had thought OF attending
school, the board assessment was sun
higher All of which goes to show that
the people are receiving the beneht OF
the money which Clemson receives.

Spirited Citizen. Has Lived Here
Since 1892.

Abbeyills to-day loses one OF her
best. citizens by the removal OF Jno.
R. Blake to Greenwood, the town OF
his birth. s. 81
Mr.. Blake has been In !Abbeville
since 1892, and his stay here has been
marked by all Of those traits that 60,

Abbeville's most liberal and public.
spirited citizens. sc /
By fortunate Investments, Mr.. Blake
has built up an estate worth well
around one hundred thousand dollars,
and he has not done this by any nigard-
ly policy. On the contrary hehas already
been a liberal and cheerful giyeF.
|: An example of his foresight is we'll
worthy of mention. When Greenwood
was a small railroad station, Mr..
! Blake bought $50 acres OF land run
ming up to the corporate limits at $S00
per acre. He was then q poor ss9Q0l
teacher and borrowed the nkonle To-
nav for the land atsgsrdts 0fSz0 epsrs
cent uer annurr1. That land to-day is
selling for more than 500 per acre.
He with Mr.. R. e. Cox OF this place,
bought lands and other properly IN
and near the city Of AbbeVille, that, IN
the last ten years have increased full
ly three times in value. MIR. Blake has
sold out his Abbeville property to MT:
R. E. Cox at the advanced price ana
now holds property only In Green
wood. For this reason, and for the.
educational advantages afforded Dy
the Woman's college at Greenwood,
Mr.. Blake has decided to move to that
city. ~
MIR. Blake Is secretary and treasurer
of Abbeville-Greenwood Mutual Fire
Insurance company, ~and was one OF
the original organizers. Before tns
company was organized, only q few
farmers in either county could secure
fire protection and these at excessive
rates. This company has put insurance
in the reach of every man and at q
rate much less than that charged oy
old line companies. The offices OF the
Abbeville-Greenwood company VIII pc
retained at Abbeville, as heretofore.
The removal Of Mr.. Blake from Abb
beyille is a distinct loss to the town,
financially and socially. There 10 one
consolation, however, his heart 10 with
us, and the friendships made here WIZ
not be affected by change OF time
or place. sf
