ANDERsoN, October 22.,-What the
State Fair is to the State the Pen
dleton Stock Show is to Anderson.
Pickens and Oconee Counties. Early
yesterday morning vehicles of evcry
description went rolling from every
direction into Pendleton, and by 10
O'Clock the whole town was filed with
a moving mass of humanity. The
third annual stock show had been
well advertised, and the large num-
Der of anxious spectators present, in
spite of the dust, was very gratifying
to the Farmers Society, under whose
auspices the show WAS held. The
crowd was estimated at three thou;
sand. Many stock raisers were pres-
ent from the surrounding counties
and from Georgia.
On account of the heat and dust
no hogs were exhibited, and MANY
cattle that would under more favor
able circumstances have been shown
were not brought out.
The most attractive feature ofstbe
occasion was the exhibit of unexcen-
tlonm fine colts, sired principally bv
lied Chief" and"Margin," =" the two
stations owened by Mr.. John Lewis
and so well known in upper Carolina.
Anticipating the large crowd that
would be present, the managers NOV
ed the show this year about O mile down
the railroad tomore spacious grounds
and to locality decidedly hotter in
many respects, The horses and colts
were ha.tered in a pine grove of sever
al acres, getting at the same time the
benefit of the shade thereby afforded
and relief from dust given
by the heavy coat of pine leaves un-
der loot. The circular race track of
half a mile was well graded. and was
certainly " decidedly improvement on
the small one used last wear. Not q
drop of rain has fallen since the worl,
was done on the track and grounds
1T will require no stretch of the imag-
nation, therefore to get correct
idea OF the thick cloud of dust Der
ceptlble in every direction. The
driving was very good and was on
Joyed as much as possible under the
unfavorable circumstances inst do
scrlbed. Comfortable seats were
erected for the ladies just across the
track from the Judges stand, and
many fair ones grnccd the occasion
by their presence and smiles. Every
body semed to be delighted with
what they SAW, and many 80 express
ed themselves.
The day passed of quietly. md
there WAS no serious accidents. One
negro managing one of tho colts was
severely kicked on the thigh The
wound blod profusely, but was prompt
ly attended to by the physicians, and
1T last accounts the man was doin,,
vol.
Music was furnished by the color
ed band cf PendlctOn.
The members Of the Pendleton
Farmers Society are gratifed by the
work of yesterday as far beyond what
they had expected or hoped for, and
are determined already to make the
fourth annual stock show next year
superior to any of the preceding
eyhibitions

EN-Goyernor johnson Hagood has
written letter to- Mr.. b, r. Tillnan
heartily endorsing the Farmers move
ment in regard to the establishment
of IN Agricultural College in ,,this
state, but l. fusing to become afillea:
ted in the movement, because it conN
templates the overthrow of the Cita-
del Academy, of which the ..Ex.G Gov
ernor is an officer by appointment of
the State.
The matter Of establishing an Ag-
ricultural College is dead weight on
the Farmers movement which pro-
fesses to be in the interests of econ
omy. Noone will dispute the fact
that such a college is u good thing
for state to have, but it is expensive
and we have yet to see showing
that will convince us that the good it
could do, would be commens,rated
with the expense involved. l. would
teach it's diciples the theory and prac-
tice of farming, but it could make
none of them successful farmers.
| The qualities which characterize our
successful farmers aro not to be grin
ed in any school. They are princi,
pally acquired in boyhood days by
habits of industry and economy. An
experimental farm run on a grand
and systematic. scale, by money appro-
priatcd from the treaslrerof the
state, iS i'll adopted to teach those
lessons which a man must learn,
when he is compelled to strike these
rocky hills with no other appropria-
ton than the sweat Of his brow and
the strength Of his muscle,
1t would be positive disadvantage
to learn farming with all the improv-
cd implements that the state would
furnish, and then be driven to the
use of such scanty tools as his limited
means would provide. We have
nothing to say against improved and
labor saving implements, but we have
known them spoil several good far
mers. No money should be appro
priated to educational purposes, ex-
ccPt the two mills school tax. THAI
is enough for the people to pay until
the State is out Of debt. If they can
afford any moro it should be applied
to choking the bonds which annual.

1t would be a good thing to have

a TERRIBLE loss.

rhnt the sudden itrenlsinr Down Of
80 many Wen and Women Means.
Anyone who has observed, investigated
,r read, must have seen tlist during the past
en- years, the power and vitality Of the
American people have bsen growing less.
People who once were strong and vigorous
now feel tired and languid. Men who did
not know what fatigue meant, now realize
hey cannot stand SO much MS formerly.
Women who were once the picture of health,
now ore weak and often Respondent Even
ittlc children in too many cases are puny,
where they should be bright and healthy.
Why is this? Tho causes are various. but
IN nearly every case they can be assigned to
The lack OF nlbumen in the system. This
great hfe-giying element is present to a
greater or less degree in all persons, and
where it is lacking there Is lack OF life.
But some one asks "How can albumen be
impaired 10 the system?n BY keeping the
body in proper condition for absorbing and
retaining the olbunen that Is taken into the
system. This can only be done by properly
stimulating the faculties and organs that
Ibsorb albumen.
II was the realization Of tho above truths
which caused some eminent scientists few
years since, TO undertake series of expert
ments. These experiments were conducted
with the greatest skill and care aud resulted
in the discovery of preparation, which
taken into the body, stimulates the proper
organs TO assimilate albumen, thus adding
life, banishing disease and inparting health
10 the entire system. This great prepare
lion, SO discovered, was Volina Cordial. It
Is pure, harmless yet powerful compound,
containing Just those vegetable elements
nesessary to retain health and prolong life
1t is undoubtedly doing more to impart new
life and activity TO the race, than any other
discovery of modern times 1t s stimu-
ating, invigorating and yet contains no
element that can in the least, harm even a
shild
These are facts not given at random, but
serious and earnest truths, confirmed by
scientists as well as by experience. There
are hundreds of men and women in their
graves TO day who might have been alive and
happy, had they known these truths and
lcted upon them in time; and it is painful
70 think of the intense suffering, terrible
sickness and vast number of deaths which
might have been avoided, if people had only
,ealized aud known.

Special to the Gazette
VNITA, l. t., Oct. 2a.--Some two
months ago the public school building at
this place, built by subscription at cost
OF $4,000, was burned to the ground
during the night. Inoendisrlsm was evi-
dent, and without delay $500 reward was
pledged for the conviction Of the guilty
party. After the local officers had looked
into the case few days without success.
the services Of n detective from abroad
were secured. He was not long in finding
evidence sufficient TO cause the arrest OF
William Daugherty, Shawnee, and his
wife, who is white woman. Both were
convicted, and to-day were sentenced to
serve ten years apiece In the Cherokee
prison. The motive was shown to be
purely spite, because the woman's chill
dren by former husband, white man,
were not permitted TO attend the school
free, such being the law.
