In Philadelphia quite recently a
dress reform convention was held, and
ia, which dame fashion was denounced
in,emphatic terms. One of the speakers
was opposed to skirts, thinking that
they should be abolished and a substi-
tute had in mems clothes. 2:-u~ ..
aMrs, Cricket spoke feeliugly of
the abuse made Of striped stockings.
say thought they looked we'll on chill
dren, but were highly out of place on
spindle-shanked spinsters. One Of the
resolutions demanded that "the Con-
'sress of the United States be requested
to define the length of a Toman's
dress, and the material that shall be
used by her to cover her limbs, and
that it shall pass an act making it a
penal offence for any government
official to deprive woman of any posi-
tion because she refuses to- dress ac-
eording- to- such officers dictation--
barbarism 81. worse than ever cursed

The State Fair

: Allusion has been more than once
made to the approaching State Fair,
and We do so again, as it is important
that :. the: people be kept advised on
this subject. In those sections where
County Fairs are held we feel certain
that active steps will1be taken to send
full representations, as we'll as articles
for exhibition, but in those Counties
where Fairs are not held forgetfulness
may creep ia and nothing be done to
take part in. it. We earnestly ask:
therefore, that our farmers not only
attend the approaching Fair but send
some of their stock and products for
exhibition. The Society offers $500
fer the best County display of pro-
ducts, &c.; and Abbeville challenges
the State on that occasion. If New
berry caunotesuceessfully compete. for
this. prize, it might be we'll forher
citizens to attend and take;a feW notes
as to how the thing is DONE. - d; 80.
Our remarks some weeks ago in re-
gard to the officers Of the Fair not
having done their duty in sivingpub-
Ecity to the meeting, We find were in-
correct, q notice having appeared in
the Columbia Register, which all the
papers in the State were requested to
copy. We regret that the notice ces.
capped our attention, as We scrupulous-
ly observe all requests of this or any
other kind which subseryes the public
interests, and, We would not do Cox
Watt Aiken or any other of the, Off
GERS Of the Society injustice knowing
". We make this mention as our at
tention has been called to the matter,
and in justice to the officers, whom
we know have enough to bear as itls.
Our best wishes now as in the past
attend the approaching Fair. :..:4'

ECLECTIC MAGAz1NE.-The Eclectic for
November contains as a frontiSpiece fine
portrait Of Holman Hunt, the famous En-
gish painter; and this is accompanied in the
letter press with brief sketch Of his life and
art theories.
This number leads off with notable and
highly interesting article on Napoleon
Bonaparte," based on the recently published
Memoirs of the Coun: de Segur. The Count
was in close personal association with Napo-
leon during almost the entire period from
1900 TO his fall, and he reveals much that is
both valuable and interesting concerning his
inner life and personal characteristics. Other
attractive articles are: The Arabs in Pales-
tine; An Acknowledgements Of England,
by Horace White, late Editor of the Chicago
Tribune;, The Planets put in Leverrier>s Bal
ance, by Richard A. Proctor, F.R S.; Birds

The Stonewall Statue

The ceremony of unveiling the
Stonewall Statue in the city Of Rich
mond, Va, on the 10th of October,
was one of the grandest and most i'm
posing pageants, perhaps, ever wit
messed in this country. It is thought
that there were at least fifty thousand
visitors, present, representing all ma
tionalities and creeds. AS was proper,
all business was suspended, everybody
taking part in the nations tribute to
one of the greatest of men. The
statue is an English tribute to the
immortal hero. The procession was
two miles long, and occupied three
quarters Of an hour in passing a given

Of the :veiled statue and platform from

After prayer. by Bishop Daggett of the

Gov. Kemper made an Introductory
address. and then introd uced the Rev.
DR.. M. D. Hoge of the Presbyterian
Church as the orator of the day. -

"At this point Gen. Page of Nor
folk introduced to the crowd Gen.
Jackson's only child, a little girl Of
thirteen years, who was received With
deafening and continued cheers. The
ceremonies were concluded by the
singing of Luther's grand anthem,
"A Castle of Strength is our Lord"
by the Gesang Verein Of Virginia,
the Richmond and Philharmonic As
sociations and other amateur singers,
numbering nearly one hundred and
fifty male voices, accompanied by the
combined bands that we're in the pro-
cession."

Of course the girls came first, and
we're fixed up by their fond mammas
IN in their best bibs and fuckers, and it
is said that the excitement as they
entered the ring was intense. Aud
not only were they fixed up but the
young men were also arrayed in style
to attract as much attention as posi-
BILE. Six months old Minnie Hayne
was pronounced the finest female baby,
and William Lark, five months old,
weighing twenty. seven pounds, the
best looking and biggest boy. But
the fun eliminated in the afternoon
when the fortunate babes were brought
into the ring with the other live stock,
and presented with baby carriages,
which the fathers pushed around for
the benefit of the crowd. How We
envy Greenville and her Fair, and her
baby show, and what a sensation
would be produced if the chance were
offered Newberry to show babies. We
challenge the State in this particular.

The Columbia Hotel.

I Since the closing of the Wheeler
House, the Columbia stands alone in
its glory as first class Hotel, and its
proprietor, Mr.. German, is endeavor-
ing with all the energies of which he
is so largely possessed, to meet the de-
maud which is being made upon him.
During the Fair, which it is thought
will be largely attended by visitors
from all sections of the country, the
capacities of this favorite Hotel will
be greatly tasked, but we are happy
tt say that arrangements are making
to comfortably dispose Of and feed as
many as seek its hospitable shelter.
German takes time by the forelock
and in time Of peace prepares for war.
