FIFTEENTH ANNUAL FAIR AT STAFFOhD
 SPRINGS Ger. 9TH, 9TH, AND 10TH.
 It has been determined to hold in con- nection with this fair dog and poultry show, to include pets of all kinds. Al ready measures are working to secure a good show in this line, and entries secured from various places, warranting the asser- ton that it will exceed any show of thls character ever held in.the vicinity. Wm. Lee will have charge of the class of poultry, and David Bissett of the canine class, thus assuring good intelligent conduct in both. Good judges in all the classes will be ob- tained. We can soon speak further of es- pecial features of this important part oi the fair.
 A picket fence has been built on both sides of the track for 300 feet in front oi the grand and judges stands, which will naturally tighten the labors of the mar shals and occasions less liability to aeci dents from passing upon the tracks dur ing races.
 The reserved g1and stand has been fur nished with chairs, each of which is to bt sold to one person for the entire fair, ol for day.
 A ladies' retiring and dressing room ha' been fitted up,

 President Runyon of the National Bank Monday morning by cutting his throat, thus following the example of Cashier Hill, who took poison few days before. It is believed that the bank has been rob- bed of million dollars, and will be com pelled to close for good. One of the de- positors has also cut his throat, and the bank episode becomes one of the principal tragedies of the summer. The worst Is not yet known, but meantime the excite ment of the deposltors leads them to an- ticipate that nothing of value has been left by the robbers. The president and cash fer used their official positions to take the banks money and speculate in Wall street. They were unfortunate in their ventures and they are both dead by their own hands. As to Hills intentional dishonesty there is no doubt. There may be legal quibbling over the exact shade of guilt which atfache to Mir. Runyon. Yet there is no denying that both men abused the ,ntidenee of the community.
 On. of the most curious incidents in the history of African slavery ill America is the life of Charles Stewart, slave owned by the Johns ms of Virginia, and after wards by tn. Porters of Louisiana, both of them noted as possessors of remarkable racing hors.s. He was born trainer and rider of horses, and during his long life- time has ridden the winning horse at many of the great races down south. He could not write, and knew nothing about figures, but was nevertheless trusted by his own CTS with the care and transportation of their stock, and the custody of bets and stakes, and he seems always to have come out right. One of the ladies of the Porter family recently took down the story of his life as told by himself, and it will be given, in his own negro dialect, in the October Harpers, with portrait of the old hero of the turf.
 Women in Washington have all gone crazy over tricycling, and every fine after noon numbers of them are now to be seen whirling along the streets. They are either accompanied by their husbands, big broth CTS or men friends. The dress worn is in- variably made of dark flannel, with plain skirt reaching to the top of the shoes, and blouse waist. It is perfectly modest and sensible.

A WORD FITLY SPOKEN.

The Charleston News and Courier is 8 very good newspaper and during the last four or five years it has been distinguished for the unprejudiced views of southern affairs which it has expressed. It has even dared to tell it's southern readers that they could not afford to countenance fraud and coercion in order to suppress the negro vote. Two or three days ago this outspoken and influential paper had remarkable article upon the duty of the white people of the South to do what they
 can towards lifting the negro population to a higher plane of intelligence. The writer lays
 down the proposition that unless the negro is made a more intelligent and a more
 virtuous citizen the superior race will lose it's
 high ideals and drop toward the same level
 The burden of illiteracy will press so heavily
 upon the whole body of the people that the
 highest as well as the lowest will be involved
 in common ruin. Thirty-fve per cent. of
 the population of South Carolina cannot
 expect to maintain high civilization while
 the remaining sixty-6ve per cent.
 is unable to read and write
 Having said this the writer courageously in-
 forms the young scions of the old South
 Carolina chivalry that the very means which
 they use to save society, as they imagine,
 from the baleful consequences of ignorant
 suffrage will in the end degrade and destroy
 society, if not supplanted by educational and
 moral and Christian agencies. F'It is time for vigorous action, not with the spear, but with the pruning hook; not by the enact ment of circumventivs laws whose purpose is to deprive the ignorant of their legal rights, which will return some day to curse their inventors, but by the primer and the decalogue."
 With those who treat this question in 8 pharisaical and indifferent spirit the writer of the article declares he has little patience He says: As sensible men they should know that they are playing with fire; and if they "trust in Providence" to rid us of the negro we suggest to them the wisdom of keeping their powder dry'' for any unlocked for emergency. We can respect the honest if msled, class who openly avow and declare their hostility to the negro. It is this class which originates the ingen- ious circumventive laws which deprive tho ignorant negro of his franchise. It is this class that builds upon the sand o2 expediency. It is this class whose method of culture is the heroic one of digging up the roots It is this class which is continually arising the devil of hateful ignorance, forget ting the common experience of man kind and the philosophic declaration of Goethe, '1t is easier to raise the devil than to lay him."
 This is pretty plain talk, but not plainer than is needed. If the intelligent people of South Carolina are wise they will not seorn it but will pay careful attention to it.
