day. There have been many i'm
provements both on the grounds and
In the buildings and the track is in
fine condition. it's usual on the
opening day the attendance was
rather small.
Capt. G. T. McGehee, the able
President opened the Fair by read

beloved Fetran chieftain, Hon Jeffer-
son Davis.
The programme for the day was
fully carried on. The first attrac-
ton being running race for two
year Odds, 2 furlongs, won by Cages,

The display of live stock while not
so large as that of last year was still
highly creditable to the county, and
but for the fears Of SO many who
left theirs ("tho' they were much
finer" behind the display would
really have btel exceptional. We
predict for next year that there will
be no one vacant at all.

Democrats Wake Up.


Next Tuesday is The Election.
There will be held one Of the most
important elections that has trans
PRED within the past four years.
The Democratic party claims the
South as solid for Cleveland and
Thurman; and it is solid If the Demo
Gratis of the S,uth will only do their
duty on the. day of election and go
to the polls and vote. Every Demo-
crat should vote just as though his
State was doubtful one and know
that upon his individual vote de-
pended the success of his party.
Inaction wont do in time of peace
any more than in war when our in
terests are at stake. Eternal vigil
lance is the price of liberty. Demo-
Gratis are you going to stay at horne
on next Tuesday when the great
question as to who is to be the Prcsi-
dent of the United States for the
next four years is to be decided
If you want to enjoy the conscious
ness Of having done your duty 60
to the polls on Tuesday next and
cast your vote. The enemy has
been among us and has secretly
scattered their tickets in every pre-
cinct in this county. 1t is left with
YOU to decide whether the Demo
cratic party which has given the
country one Of the cleanest admins
trations it has ever had, and peace
and prosperity to the South. Shall
continue to administer the affairs OF
the nation or whether the Republi-
can party which on the other hand
is the party of trusts, land grabbers
and plunderes and of humiliation tC
the South, shall supercede it. VIZ
again earnestly urge upon every
voter to go to the polls next Tues
day and vote the Democratic ticket
the ticket Of prosperity which insure'
the perpetuation of our government
in accordance with the purity of its
principles. Let no one stay away
from the polls on the assumption
that it is unnecessary for him to go
but let each and every one who il
interested in good government go t.
the side of Cleveland and Thurman
the great standard bearers who ART
now waving the banner Of reform
upon the battlements Of the enemy
We again tell you to wake up and d.
your duty.
OF course the chief danger with u
is the loss of Congressman. Upol
the Democracy of the North devol
YES the task to carry doubtful States
This election for the Presidency
by no means certain: Cleveland
, may be beaten-then turn out an,
hold your Congressman.

How the Public Domain has Been
Squandered.

In my last communication l show
ed how valuable lands had been
fraudulently entered at a nominal
price, and in this l will explain the
efforts made in the Legislature to
restore these lands to the State.
During the session of 1886 the
Committee already referred to report
ed a bill requiring the Attorney
General to take steps to cancel these
FRAUDULENT patents, but finding one
already offered to the House by Mr..
Pitts Of Wayne, and to the same
effect, it adopted the latter.
This Bill passed both Houses and
went to the Governor just before the
adjournment of the Legislature, but
was not approved by him until July
1887.
This delay, no doubt, was the re-
suit of imperfections in the Bill it.
self as indicated IN an opinion Of the
present able Attorney General which
was submitted by the Governor, to
the Legislature of 1858 in his Mes
sage to that body. The Attorney
General says "refering to the Act Of
the Legislature entitled ian Act to
provide for the cancelling of certain
entries of swamp lands in this State
and for other purposes, approved
July 18th 1887, l have to say I do
not think the same can be executed
according to its tenor without adj
ditional Legislation. 1t is a no.
torious fact about which l have suf-
ficiently satisfied myself that frauds
we're prac'iced in numerous instan-
ces in these enteries, especially in
the year 1881, in this manner. Ac-
cording to the letter and manifest
policy of the law then in force in
relation to the entry Of these lands
no one applicant could purchase
more than 240 acres; but this limi-
tation seems to have been evaded by
numerous persons who procured en-
tries to be made of tracts of 240
acres in the names of different in
dividuals (who lent the use of their
names) who would Immediately
make conveyance to the real pur-
chasers. Entries of lands made in
this manner would readily be can
celled in the Chancery Courts, upon
suit of the State, in all cases Where
the rights of innocent third parties may
not have INTERVIEWED, but it seems to
be well settled that bills Of this kind
cannot be maintained except upon q
tender back of the consideration
which the State received. "He then
concludes" because the recent Act
makes no appropriation to refund
the money paid in on these fraudu-
lent entries, I am Of the opinion that
nothing can be done towards their
cancellation" blouse Journal 1888
page 25)
A special committee was appoint
ed, Mr.. Pitts Of Wayne Chairman,
TO whom this matter was referred /;
and it reported back H B. No. 565
in accordance with the views of the
Attorney General. This Bill passed
both Houses and went to the Cover
nor on the last day Of the session
too late to be acted on before adj
journment-but if approved it has
not been published so far. The
wisdom of recovering back these
lands-and the Attorney General is
satisfied they can be easily recovered
even if the State refunds the %
cents an acre received for them, is
apparent. have already proved
that they are worth much more, and
