DUB BOOK TABLE.

The Carolina Farmer Is monthly agri-
cultural magazine published at Whining
ton, N. C. Its Typography is neat and its
editorial management is able. The most
practical advantage it has is dependent upon
the fact that it is published in section of
country similar to ours. and therefore all of
its reading matter would be beneficial to our
planters. 1t is southern enterprise, which
promise much success to its proprietors.
Among the many publication houses in
America, that of Messrs. John E. Potter &
Co. stand among the first for reliability and
business enterprise. They publish nearly
one hundred styles of bibles, and, from the
handsomest to the cheapest editions, they
are neat and substantial. They received
the highest award on these at the Centen-
nial Exhibition. They are also publishers
of many educational and literary works
such as Potter's Popular Encyclopedia, Pot
ter's American Monthly, &C., which rank
high among the publications of this age.
We commend these gentlemen to the pat
ronage of our readers. For their address,
&C., see their advertisement in another
column.

THE STATE EAIR

To be held in Columbia, commencing on
the 18th and closing on the 10th of No
vember, is near at hand, and should COM
mand the attention of Grangers, farmers,
merchants and all other classes of indus
try in the State. The talent of some of
our best men are already being extensive
ly exerted to make it success. The
pride and patriotism of our people, and
of our Changers particularly, should
prompt them to energy and activity to
aid and assist the accomplishment Of a
result so nearly connected with the gen.
eral interest, prosperity and welfare of
all classes of citizens. It is expected that
the railroads will make some favorable
concessions in favor of visitors to- the
Fair, and we should like to see every
body 60, and be sure to carry along some
thing to exhibit.
The editor of the agricultural De-
partment" of the Charleston Ne,os and
Courier makes the following sensible sug-
gestions in reference to a practical appli-
cation of benefits that may accrue to
Grange men, which we should be glad to
see carried into practice:
t'We suggest that the master of the
State Grange request the three hundred
Subordinate Oranges each to send two
delegates to the Fair, (their expenses and
admittance to be paid as each Grange
thinks proper for the purpose of OBJ
tanning useful information for the benefit
of the Oranges represented. If these
delegates would meet in Columbis Mon
day night of Fair week and appoint com.
mittees among themselves, they could
the next day examine the articles on ex-
hibition, and on Tuesday night meet
again and report the result of their ex-
animation, and discuss the merits of the
articles examined. This could be re-
peated every day and night till the close
Of the Fair; and he would be indeed a
dull man who would not, during the time
gather vast deal of information worth
carrying back to his Grange. Many fine
points in the several breeds of animals !;
the advantages of certain improved inn
plements; household receipts, and gen.
eral information of every character could
thus in a single week be gathered, and
III aS SflOEG q GlHJo uistElUuCcu oil VSCA VuO
State that would be incalculably valua-
BILE to our farmers and people generally.
We suggest, however, that the citizens
of Columbia and the Master and Execu-
tive Committee of the State Grange
should call for excursion trains at a pas
senger rate of about cent per mile each
way, to be run by all the railroads into
out again on Friday and Saturday Of
Fair week. Thousands will by this
means be induced to 60, who will, at the
old half-fare rates, stay at home. Co.
lumbia had better hire the trains and run
them at this low rate of travel than not
have it done. They will be reimbursed.
The people remember those summer ex-
cursion trains, and know the railroads
were we'll paid. Why will the railroads
not help the Fair that much, if they will
be paid for it, too? The railroads can
make our Fair success.

W. W. COLES HEw AND GREATEST
SHOW ON EARTH.

Read the advertisement of Coles Cir
Gus, which will exhibit at this place on
Tuesday the 30th inst, at the reduced
admittance of fifty cents for grown per-
sons, and then read the following COM
ments from a leading Southern paper:
The long expected arrival of w. w.
Coles Circus, Menagerie, Museum and
Trained Animal Exposition of Wonders
took place yesterday. The show busi-
ness now seems to run to consultations,
in which the aim is to include the old
style circus, menageries, museums and
an aggregation of shows exceeding the
small affairs Of few years ago as much
as can be imagined. In carrying out his
plan Mr.. Cole did not stop with merely
one or two collections but gathered in at
once the Great New York Circus, Trained
Animals, &C.; that of the famous New
Orleans Menagerie, Museum, &C., and
colossal aggregation ofthe Worlds Won
der Exhibition, massed in one grand city
of tents of monster proportions. In or
der to keep pace with the times Mr.. Cole
has reduced his price of admission for
adults to so cents; children under years
of age, 25 cents. So great has been his
success since the Inauguration Of cheap
rates for the people, that he has been
compelled to enlarge his exhibition tents
to more than double their former capaci-
ty to accommodate the tens of thousands
who patronize this great show daily at
all points where it exhibits. Naturally,
a street procession of an exhibition like
this is sufficient to attract no small at
tention of itself. The parade yesterday
more than justified all that has been said
of the show. The chariots and splendid
costumes, with all the pharaphernalia of
a circus, were of the most elaborate and
costly description; but the success of the
affair is as mach owing to the artistic
taste of the proprietor as the lavish ex-
pense which he has entered into. The
performance in the tents was fully wor-
thy of the parade in public. The zoolog-
icsl departments was fully represented.
The rare wild beasts, birds and reptiles,
the trained animals, magnificent speci-
mems of oceanic lions in the sub-aquatic
mansions, made up monster exhibition
which would go far to disprove the late
"a. Ward" that the show business has
by no means "seen it's parmiest day."
We commend w. w. Coles Great Show
to the public and the press generally
throughout the South.-Louisrile Courier
Journal.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has
used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let
it's wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs. Group, Asthma, Pneumonia,
and in fact all throat and lung diseases.
No person can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses i'll relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor dying
consump'ive at least to try one bottle, as
10000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the GERMAN
SYRUP cnnnot be too widely known.
Bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular
size rs cents. For sale by all druggists

Mr. Towers has been merchant of Ander-
son for many years. and has established
reputation for reliability and business skill
which has made his store very popular with
purchasers. The reduction of prices which
the lower freights have enabled them to
make will render their store more popular
than ever. When trading in Anderson give
them trial and you will be pleased.

1900

The Anderson INTELLMENcER has the
largest circulation of any country paper
published in the State, and has more than
three times the circulation of any other pa
per in Anderson County. We print and cir
culate regularly 1900 papers. Our list in
the County has increased instead of dimin-
ished, and We hope to receive a still greater
increase during the coming fall. We are
willing at any time to verify the above by
an inspection of our subscription book, or
our paper bills; or when desired, we will
furnish advertisers with an affidavit of the
correctness of our statement as to the circu-
lation of the INTELLIGENcER.

Now and Then.

1t is only now and then that such men as
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith
and Ex-Gov. Brown, of Ga, endorse med
icine for the throat and lungs, and when
they do it is pretty good evidence that the
remedy must be good for the cure of coughs,
colds and lung affections. They recommend
the GLOBE FLOWER COUGH SYRUP, and their
testimonials are to be seen round the ten
cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower
Syrup, for sale by SIMPSON, REID & co.
A sample bottle relieves the worst cough,
and will cure sore throat. Regular size
bottles, fifty doses, 81.
