FA1s OF 81. MARES CHURcH-Co1oRD.-
This fair is now open in the hall over the old
Office of the National Express Company, Meet
ing-street, opposite Pinckney. The room is
quite tastefully dressed, and the arrangement
of the tables AMI booths reflects credit on the
managers. Every delicacy was provided last
night, and though the weather was incle-
ment there was good attendance, including
many white visitors, friends of the church and
others. The fair will be continued during the
week.

The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1868-07-29

The recent action Of the Legislature, in the passage
of the printing BILL the people of this State for
the support Of Radical journals throughout their midst
is in keeping with the course pursued by the party of
proscriptive progress at Washington. Witness the
following:
Mr. Cameron, in the United States Senate, on the
18th ut indignantly informed his Radical friends that
the Government has paid to two newspapers $40 900
apiece, $4,000 in all.
Mr. Sherman-What papers?
Mr. Cameron-The Chronicle and the Evening Star
of this city have been paid will be paid, for the
printing of last year, that amount The greater part
of that advertising was for the purchase and sale of
articles far beyond the circulation of these papers
that none of them could ever reach the people who
were interested. For instance, there were $500 or
$4,000 paid for advertisement as to the publication
of mail contracts in the Territory of Arizona There
was large sum Of money paid for an advertisement
asking proposals for a fort somewhere down in New
Mexico ] think there were half dozen mules, or
something like that to be bought in Idaho and they
were advertised here; and in some cases the adver-
tisements published here day two before the
sale or purchase to be made at those remote places
This is an abuse which would shock the community
they knew T.; but nobody seems to know anything
about it. We hardly know it ourselves.

DlsAFFEeT1oN AMONG THE FREEDMEN.-In con versa

IN Macon now stood upon political issues, he frankly
admitted that there was much disafecton among the
freedmen towards the Radical party and those who
have been leading them for some time past, in this
city he says that no new accessions to the coored
daily many freedmen, who have heretofore acted and
voted with that party, and belonged to the Union
leagues, are dropping off, and are openly expressing
their disgust at the frauds and receptions that have
been praeticed upon them and also their determi-
nation to act IN FUTURE with the conservatives Of the
South The bright promises which their betrayers have
50 often made, turning to ashes on their Inns ana
that hereafter they will art for themselves and will
vote for that party who propose restore the country
to peace and prosperity, and act with that people
among whom they have been raised and whose inter
esls are their own. Macon Telegraph.

| HEATED TERN-4 TERRIBLE D4y AND HORRIBLE
NIGHr.-We copy as follows from the New York Times
| of the 18th: -... --
The bald statement of the range in the shade of the
THERMOMETERS for the past three days conveys but a
faint idea of the biserng heat upon the city, of the
sitting atmosphere that weighed upon it, The days
were the hottest OF the year, and the succeeding nights
exceptional and terrible in discomfort The DAYS
baked the city-the nights scorched it.
| AS evening came on the heat grew more powerful
and night bringing tortue intead Of relief There
was nc relief anywhere. On the housetops or in the
cellars in the densest part of Baxter street or upon
the piers stretching into the soundess CLASSY rivers
was heat allprevading allprostratng. Men eschewed
the conventionalties of life-fung neck-ties collars
vests and coats angry away and searched for some
thing cool. The ladies stirred not beyond the precincts
of home and the devices they adopted can be imagin
ed bet not stated. Children walled with extreme dis
comfort and with seeming dread of something worse:
horses fell prone and lifeess the streets
Evening business came to standstill save about
the soda fountains and in ice cream saloons Driven
to desperate extremties swallowed these in sheer
despair but WITHOUT hoping for the relief that did not
come Whoever could, walked and avoided the street
car ovens; whoever was forced to take stage clam
bered to the roof, and these vehicles went IN and
down Broadway crowded on top and empty inside.
few desperate people entered the several theatres al
lured by the placard, This is the coolest place of
amusement in the city" The announcement was cool
enough and there was hope that of its frgdity
might have perHleated the auditoriums
10 many homes of honest toll the torrid day
brought disaster and wailing. Strong men went out
IN the morning to do strenuous battle for daily bread
and with the evening not home The missing ones
were found in the wards Of the hospitals gaspng un
conscious, or already dead The record of the DAYS
was ghasty. The books Of the coroner's office at
noon yesterday showed thirty -four cases of sudden
DEATH and with every hour the casualty roll increased
until with the close of business hours it had amounted
to fiftv-four.
We learn that New York, on Friday the 7th inst,
between the rising and setting of the sum- there were
one hundred and FIVE deaths from sunstroke, and for
three days ending on the 2lst nst the deaths from
slnstroke amounted to $50. The heat has been i n
tense all over the country. Men and horses were
struck down at Chicago.
In Madison, Wis, on the l4th the mercury touched
100; Dubuqe, iol Rockford, ILL.,, 1902; Peoria, 1os
Marengo, Iowa, 1o8; St. Paul, 1o2; Washington Ctv
1os. Deaths from sunstroke arereported at Prov
dence, Quebec Montreal Detroit, Toronto and almost
ali points north.
