Hundreds ofcolored people passed through
town on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on
their way to the camp meeting at Holly
Springs. near the line of Greenville County.
The order about the stand was good through
out the meeting, but there was sllghs ois'
turbance on Saturday little ways on pc
tween two colored men over game OF cards.
The only injury resulting from 1t was an
ugly confusion on the back of the heao OF
one of the parties, made by blow with d
piece of iron in the hands of the other.

Every arrangement has been made to pre-
serve the best of order during the entire

Hons. ]. 8. Richardson, NJ. P. O'Connor,
J. II, Eyins, G. D. Tillman and D. Wyatt
Aiken, South Cardinals representatives IN
the lower House of Congress for the past
four years, have all been renominated by
the Conventions of their respective DIS
tricts. This is certainly q very high COM
pliment to the ability and worth OF these
gentlemen, and one which they douotless
fully appreciate. It has not occurred otten
in the history of this country that state
has elected for three consecutive terms tne
same delegation to the United States Con-
gress.
The young people of the town, together
with some Of those who were not so young.
spent pleasant evening at the residence or
Col. E. NJ. Rucker on Friday. The enter
tainn,ent was gotten up by Mrs. D. s. Tay-
lor, q daughter, and Miss Anna Whitner,
niece of Co.. Rucker, and consisted chiefly
of scenes in tableau, in which some OF our
handsomest and most accomplished young
ladies and gentlemen appeared, adorned IN
elegant costumes. At the close of the tab
leaux, social dance was enjoyed, ana at q
seasonable hour the party disperse al!
present having spent a most delightiul
evening.
It is only about six weeks till the County
F'air-an occasion in which every citizen
should be interested. II you have not al
ready done so, begin at once to make ar
engagements to exhibit something. Our
County Fairs are always the best in the
State. fact Of which we should all be
proud, as it is an unmistakable evidence OF
prosperity and progress. The Fair this
wear should be better than any we have
ever before had, and if the proper interest
is taken in it by those who are most directly
benefited by such exhibitions-the farmers
it can easily be made so. Every fnrmer
in the County should contribute something
to the Fair this year, even if it be ever so
little. The new management will do all IN
their power to make it a grand success.
sSome years ago Hon. James L. Orr,
whom you all in this community certainly
knew well, was spending while at White
Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and one
day he noticed a gentleman limping across
the lawn whom he recognized as Rev, DR..
Smith, who was the Chaplain in the Univer.
sity of Virginia while he was student at
that instgkion some fifteen years previous.
Mr.. Orr at once approached his old Chaplain
and, extending his hand, said, "This is Rev.
DR.. Smith, who, fifteen years ago, was the
Chaplain of the University of Virginia. I
recognized you, sir, the moment saw you
by your walk" DR.. Smith replied: 81 am
sorry, sir, that my preaching did not make
deeper impression upon your mind shan
did my walk" "Why, Doctor" said Mr..
Orr, ''the very highest compliment that
can be paid minister of the gospel IS to
say that he is better known by his walk
than by his conversation. ."-Rev. DR.. Hhar-
ton in his sermon IN the Baptist Church Sunday.
