WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER rs, 1888,
! AIIGISTA'S GREAT EXPOSITION.

Previous to the visitation of Augusta,
Ga. by the floods of two weeksago, every
arrangement had been perfected for the
opening of a grand exposition in that city
on the 10th of next month but owing to
the damage done in that city to the
streets, bridges and water power, the
management has wisely decided to defer
the opening until the 9Th of November
and continue until the 18th of December.
These dates have been fixed in Difference
to a number of northern exhibitors and to
the conflict of dates with other
expositions and fairs. By that time the
city will have recovered in a large measure
the damages that fell upon every interest
by the late unprecedented overflow; her
streets will be mended, the bridges re-
stored, the water power in operation, the
railroads open, and her people in good
condition to receive and care for visitors.
The programme of special features will be
conducted in the order originally an
nounced, and special attractions will be
provided throughout the whole term.
While this brief postponement meets
the expressed idea of a number of the ex-
hibitors, and seems in every way to en-
nance the prospects of the most extensive
exposition that the South Atlantic States
have ever had, the management is also
able to assure the most complete and valu-
able industrial exposition that has ever
occurred in the Southeastern States at
any previous time. The large number Of
exhibitors and the important character OF
the lines of business represented, justify
this assurance. In machinery they are
especially we'll provided, and in mercatile
displays, and the department of natural
products, there will be an array O. exhibits
that cannot fail to interest and instruct.
We are pleased to note that our own
State is taking a lively interest in the ex-
hibition, and that many articles will be
displayed from this State. To this end
the department of agriculture is lending
its aid, and the commissioner of agricul-
ture requests any parties in the State who
have fine corn, wheat, rye, barley, rice,
cotton or peas, to send him specimens of
them as early as possible.

IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS.

Clerk of Court Wallace has received notiica-
ton from Comptroller-G General Werner that the
pension fund is practically exhausted. The
remnant of the $50, 900 appropriated at the last
session to carry out the Pension Act only per-
mits the payment in part of the September
pensions. Each pensioner will this month re-
ceive a payment of SO instead of S., and no
payments can be made for the remaining
months of the year unless the Legislature
makes a new appropriation. 1fthe number OF
pensioners remains as at present. the annual
appropriation for pensions will be Sl22,2 SO.
There are now 2,O3s pensioners in the State, of
whom 81 are in York county. 1t is t~houghtthe
aggregate number will increase rather than
diminish.

YoRKvILLE, Too.-Col. Averill happi-
ly suggested at the celebration in York
Vile on Tuesday, that there was room for
pleasure resorts other than those which
have been projected in Charleston and
Summerville, and elsewhere, and that, if
Yorkville would build q modern hotel for
summer guests, the South Carolina Rail
way would help the people there to fill it.
Col. Averill said that he was confident,
from what he had seen and heard of beau
tiful Yorkville, that there was everything
there to constitute a desirable summer re-
sort excepting always a new hotel, hand
somely equipped and in a proper situa-
ton.
Charleston welcomes the suggestion of
Col. Averill, and the News and Courier
will be only too happy to cooperate with
Yorkville in securing to that thriving
town the advantages Of additional popula-
ton, and all the benefits that must follow
a thorough knowledge of Yorkville's
many attractions.-[ News and Courier.

RECOMMENDATION REFUSED.

A recommendation submitted by Hon. ]. j.
Hemphill to the second assistant postmaster
general, to increase the mail service between
Yorkville and Eta Jane, Union county, to six
times a week, has been refused by the depart
ment on the ground that the business on the
route does not warrant ordering an increase
in the service at present. The people along the
line do not propose to let the matter rest, how
ever, but are going to contend for such mail
facilities as will place them on an equal footing
with other localities and which the growing
interests of their section now demand.

the future, and which will remain unchanged

Summer Underwear.

Ribbed undervests Of silk, fine wool or
Swiss thread are the favorite garments for
summer use, as they are of the lightest posi-
BILE weight, and fit the figure as II nodded
upon it, Flesh tints, pink and ecru are most
liked, but fancy colored vests are also worn.
Those worn with evening full dress toilettes
are V shaped in the neck in front and back,
and are finished with lace edges, through
which a ribbon drawing string is passed
white, cream and gold are the choice colors
in silk vests
The Isle thread vests are inexpensive and
are preferred in pure white; these are either
high or low In the neck, with merely well
woven armhole instead Of sleeves. GauZe
merino vests that are half wool and half cot
ton are as fine as web or as lace, and are
as nearly fitted to the figure in jersey shapes,
with only selvage for sleeves; these are
worn by delicate women who must have q
modicum OF wool even for midsummer gar
ments. Fish net vests Of rough, coarse
meshes are called sanitary vests, as their
rough surface promotes circulation.
The union or combination garments, with
vest and drawers in one piece, are made VI
In silk and in merino; those OF silk are low
In tho neck, with short sleeves, and are pre-
ferred in nesh pink shades; they are also
made in very elastic ribbed silk, with either
high or low neck and short or long sleeves
Ladies' riding vests or spencers are en- extrs
waist TO wear over the corsets inside The
habit bodice; they are Of ribbed silk or Of
merino with high neck. and either short OF
