Travel to the springs is beginning some
earlier this season than last Several fami-
lies have already gone and others will fol-
low soon. The regular summer travel be-
gins generally about June Is. A large
number, the agents say. will go to Tallulah
and Asheville. Lookout mountain also
promises to attract good crowd. A rail-
road has been extended up there and hotel
has been erected for pleasure seekers. The
ticket agents say that the bulk of the travel
will be to Tallulah and Ashevile and the
Virginia springs They promise to be popu-
lar this season. People are not buying
tickets as far in advance of leaving as thew
formerly did. The change in che limit of
the ticket prevents it. Instead of being
allowed fifteen days on a ticket both to and
from the springs they are allowed only
twenty-four hours now. The excursion
rates are about the same as they were last
year.

The bottle bands at one time were nov

uDeartbly noise is that arouses them from
their slumbers in the dead of night. and
there IS common desire to have the bands

Of the city said yesterday thar he had been
victimized more than half dozen times,
and be eltertains strongly the idea of
going before council and praying that

and anybody caught with jug under his
coat or bottle in his pocket to be fined as
the law may direct.
The water plugs, both in the market
basement and in the upper part of the
market house, are being used morning and
evening IN cleaning out the market. The
change ls quite perceptible. TIE smell Of
the meats Is not SO strong when the floor is
daInpened and the fragments are washed
out OF the cracks. The absence of flies is
already noticeable since the plugs were
placed in the building and the morning
and afternoon cleaning out was begun.
IN the basement, large quantities of sand
and NTH were collected between the bricks
in the floor and along the sides of the walls.
All this has been removed by the use Of the
hose and water. The stream used on the
market is as large as that used from the
ire plugs. Robert Hicks, proprietor of the
Fried and Hicks restaurant under the
market, said last night that the market is
IN better condition than he has ever
known 1T. He has been in business in the
market for number of years,
and the slchange. he said, is very
perceptible. In addition to putting plugs
in the market building, electric lights have
been placed along the ceiling of each wing,
atfording all the light necessary. Formerly
the corridors were very dark, and on more
than one occasion visitors have been an
noyed by the lazzaroni who used to lie
about in the corners of the basement look

THE NEAREST IN.
Nothing Nearer Than Seventh Street
to be Had.

The sale of lots en- the 22d of last month
caused some comments on account of the
prices obtained. There were two points of
merits which contributed thereto, which
should be borne in mind by future pur-
chasers. The lots were between Sixth and
Seventh streets, nearer in than any before
sold, and they were so arranged as to have
entrances or exits from the rear. Our peo-
pie have become educated to the idea that
the dirt barrel must be in the rear, and the
wood and coal must be received from the
same direction. 1t is of no use to cry mo
lane" they want it, and all experience
proves that what the people want they will
have, even if they have to pay more for it.
Seventh street is deservedlv popular. 1t
is 100 feet wide and will be the great
thoroughfare connecting the eastern with
the western portions of town. 1t is no small
advantage to live on a street 100 feet wide.
The owners of the block of twenty lots.
which will be sold on Wednesday, 18th.
have shown good Judgment and a proper
appreciation of the wants of the people, by
opening twentyfoot lane in the rear Of
these lots. With a lot 30x115 facing on
Seventh street, and running back to lane.

FENCE OR NO FENCE.
The Farmers Campaign Begun-A Nc
fence Man Talks.

The Farmers Campaign Begun-A No
fence Man Talks.
The fence question is beginning to come
in for its share of attention in spite of the
interest in the canvass for railroads and for
the Pennsylvania sufferers, and as the cleo
ton is less than a month away the interest
will deepen until the matter of fence or no
fence is settled at the polls.
Interviews with those who favor the no
fence law say that the rapid denudation of
forests has made it too expensive to fence
agricultural lands which must now be
fenced with lumber that is expensive and
unsatisfactory.
Mr.. M. N. DeLettre is an earnest advo-
cate Of the no fence law, and in talking on
the subject yesterday, he said that if any
one desires to see how nicely it works. ne
has only to visit Aiken county, South Car
DINA. Mr.. DeLettre says that the ''no
fence law there has reclaimed hundreds of
acres Of ground for culture that would
have otherwise been uncultivated; and he
added that those who opposed the mo
fence" law when the matter was submitted
to the people, would not consent to return
ing to the old system, as they are now as
warmly in favor of mo fence"
"What about the claim that the emo
fence" law would operate unfavorably
against the poorer clasSeS2" Mr.. DeLettre
was asked.
Mr.. DeLettre replied that there is no
basis for the claim, and he went on to show
that possibly eight or ten out Of every 100
Of the colored people have a cow, or two or
three hogs which by running at large pre-
vent the ninety from having little truck
patches and gardens in which they could not
only raise their own produce, but could sell
for the local, interior and northern markets.
Mr.. DeLettre says that if the no fence law
should carry at the polls there would be
hundreds of acres which the colored people
could lease for term of years for cultiva-
ton, but from which they are debarred now
because they cannot afford to fence the
ground. Many of them cannot get the
lumber on credit, in fact comparatively
few can do SO. and in some in
stances where they have tried it the
failure OF crop from frost. drought
or extreme wet weather has made the ex-
pertinent a failure, for by the time the next
planting time came around their fences
were destroyed and a second effort aban-
doned
Mr.. DeLettre says that the poorer classes
ought to be more interested in carrying the
no fence law at the polls next month than
any other class of people. 1t puts land at
their disposal which is now uncultiyated
because of the depredations of stock raisers
who can well afford to fence and won't do
it, He says it is great mistake to think
that the more intelligent classes among the
colored people do not see this, for they do.
and will vote for the no fence law,
