A singular accident, the effects of which have
not yet entirely disappeared, occurred TO men,
holiday recess He had been in the habit ofusing
hair tonic before going to bed, cooling his pow
erful intellect thereby and inducing sleep. One
night he forgot it, put out the light and lay down
TO sleep; but becoming restless, he remembered
the tonic, and reaching out his hand in the dark
ness. and thinking he knew Just where it was, seized
rubbing it in vigorously with his hands. He fell
asleep. and did not know until he saw his dis
colored hands in the morning that he had used
ink instead of the hair wash. This led him to
look in the mirror, and he was shocked TO see the
spectacle he presented, with ink-stained brow
dyed hair, and cheeks and throat on which the
nearly rubbed all the hairand skin off his head and
face since but still traces of the black deluge
main His visit home during the holidays was
principally spent in testing the merits Of different

of North Carolina.
The ode 10 Kings Mountain, by the gifted

H. Caldwell, was then recited in mastery
style by Cadet James Allan, of Charleston.
Then followed the Grafton by Mr.. w. Spen.
ser Currell, graduate of the school, and
now an assistant professor in Washington
Lee University, Virginia. Mr.. Currell was
elected to the position Of orator on the present
occasion by the corps of cadets last year, and
happy were they in the selection. His ad-
dress, as he persisted in terming it in prefer
ence to the more pretentious title of oratlon,
occupied about one hour in its delivery,
and was listened to with rapt attention
by the entire audience. After pleasant al
lusion to the occasion and his former connec,
tion with the school, he announced as the SUBJ
ject of his address the part borne by South
Carolina in the Revolutionary struggle, de-
picting in mastery style the achievements Of
her patriot sons and daughters in the effort
to establish the independence of the colonies
The address was happily conceived, was re-
plete with historic information, and abound
ed in noble, patriotic sentiment.
After the Grafton was concluded, the bene
diction was pronounced by Rev. R. P. John
son, Rector of the Yorkville Episcopal
Church, which terminated the exercises of the

THE CHESTER FAIR.

The third annual fair of the Chester Agri-
cultural Association was held last week, and
was pronounced equal in every respect to the
fairs which have preceded it. About 1900
entries were made. which was considerably
in excess of last year. All the departments
we're fully supplied, and the exhibition of live
stock was unusually fine. The annual ad-
dress was delivered on Wednesday by Hon.
G. B. LoriDg, of Massachusetts, U. S. Com
missioner of Agriculture. Of the address the
Reporter says:
1T was listened to with closest attention by
the vast audience. The distinguished speak.
er sketched the history of agriculture in the
United States, and showed from statistics and
figures that to the farmers of the country the
largest measure of its wonderful prosperity
and advancement is due. His great aim and
desire was, he said, to impress upon the far.
mers enlarged and elevated views of the im'
portance and dignity of their occupation,
which had been adorned by the most illus.
trious men of this country from the days OF
Washington and Jefferson to the present time.
