Gus Williams Tonight.

Gus Williams. an actor of refined
methods and a comedian of marked abil-
itv. pleasing. popular and always welcome,
will give performance OF his highly sue
ccSsiul con ". "keppler's Fortunes" at
the Seattle oera-house tonight and to-
morrow night. The story of ''keppler's
Fortunes" is interesting, and the moral
obvious. Albert keppler is a New York
butcher with Z wife who abhors low peo-
pie aud whose sole object in life is 10 get
her two daughters in society. he?pler
falls heir 20 large fortune through the
death Of his brother and Immediately
g-atities the ambitions Of his wife. Here
Is where some OF the most comical features
are brought out. In the midst of his
luxurious life keppler finds out that his
brothers grandchild is alive, and like an
honest Dutchman turns over the fortune
that he has enjoyed for so short a time
70 her.
Nj Williams is inimitabie in the stellar
role and his natural fitness for the Charac-
ter is always apparent. He is q host IN
himself, and the audience never tire OF his
presence. His every remark calls for
laugh, and though he is most legitimate N
speech and methods and never descendS to
horse-play. he keeps his auditors IN Inces-
san. laughter. and they never have dull
moment when he is on the stage. He also
excels as a refined specialist and has made
many 4 song famous by singing it in his
plays. This season he has three or four
new ones. Coming Thro' the Dye" is
one that the reader Will see infinite posi-
bilities in. There are moments when one
wants TO be alone" is the catch line of an
other that Sir. Williams has made quite
popular. Then he has his own burlesque
on ''Comrades.' which is also very funny.
Another strong feature is his burlesque
solos on the piano one Of the most laugh
able things he has ever done. This UNIQUE
speciality is one of the most successful that
he does, and one that his audience never
seem TO tire Of

LET Us GIVE THANKS.
President Harrison Appoints A National
Thanksgiving Day.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The follow
ing proclamation was issued by the
President to-day:
By the President of the United States
of America: A proclamation.
The gifts Of God to our people during
the past year have been so abundant
and SO special that the spirit Of devout
thanksgiving awaits not call, but
only the appointment of day when it
may have a common expression. He
has stayed the pestilence at our door:
He has given US more love for the free
civil institutions in the creation of
which His directing providence was
so conspicuous; He has awakened a
deeper reverence for law; He has wild
ened our philanthropy by call to
succor the distress in other lands; He
has blessed our schools, and is bringing
forward patriotic and God-fearing
generation to execute His great and
benevolent designs for our country; He
has given US great increase in material
wealth and wide diffusion of content
ment and comfort in the homes Of our
people; He has given His grace to the
sorrowing.
Wherefore, 7 Benjamin Harrison,
President OF the United States, do call
upon all our people to observe, as we
have been wont, Thursday, the twenty
fourth day of this month, November,
as day of thanksgiving to God for
His mercies and Of supplication for His
continued care and grace.
In testimony whereof, T have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington,
this fourth day Of November, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
two, and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and
seventeenth

TER STATE FAIR.

Next Monday the State Fair begins.
Unusual attractions are being offered to
make it o success. The railroads have
made the rates exceptionally low and
we should think it would be q success.
The Charleston Gala Week was very
largely attended, and we feel sure that at
the State Fair in Columbia next week
thecrowd will be- even larger than atany
preceding Fair. It should be 80. The
farmers should give this institution
their hearty and liberal support not
only by attending in person and taking
their wives and children, but by max
ing exhibits.
Let every body 60 down and have
some pleasure and recreation. 1t will
cost but little money and some recrea'
ton IS necessary.
Special trains will be run on the rail.
roads, and as we have said the rates are
very low.

South Carolina asked to Pay Four and
Half Per Cent.-One Firm Said to
have Offered to Take the Whole
Debt.
Special to News and Courier. |

Especial to News and Courier.]
COLUMBIA, Nov. 7.-Several days
ago it was mentioned in this correspon-
dence that the bond commission had
received an offer for refunding Of the
State debt. At that time could not
give the names of the bankers or any of
the details of the scheme. 1t is now
given, on the authority of a well-known
Charleston baker, that the Wall street
bankers making the offer are Blair &
Co., a Wall street banking firm that is
rated in the millions. They have re-
Gently been floating considerable quan-
titles of Southern bonds and are ex-
tending their field in that direction.
The offer is, so understand, to take
the whole issue of bonds at 4l per cent.
1t is stated that the bankers make
these requirements:
First. That the Legislature should
ratify the contract with Blair & Co., to
take the bonds at II per cent, and of
course to change the present statute.
Second. To devote the, entire income
from phosphate royalties to the pay
ment of the interest on the bonds, and
to utilize whatever surplus, if any,
there may be to a sinking fund for the
redemption of bonds.
Third. To require all insurance COM
panies to deposit United States or
State bonds with the State Treasurer
proportionate with their business in
the State, or in such way as the Legis-
lature may see fit. Of course with the
requirement of purchasing United
States or State bonds, the latter being
much cheaper would purchased. Be-
sides the insurance companies would
be given a perfectly safe investment at
an average rate of interest.
The offer, I understand, was made
through the instrumentality of-a well
known business man who has recently
been in New York. The Charleston
banker is of the opinion that the bonds
can be easily floated in this State at 43
per cent. Three-fourths of the bonds
are held in South Carolina, and the
banker thinks that nearly all of them
would be exchanged by the Carolina
owners. If the local capitalists take a
good share Of the bonds, and show
confidence in the scheme there will be
no trouble to float the entire issue.
There are not few of the Admin
istration leaders who are favorable to
the a per cent scheme, aud are advo-
eating its acceptance. Neither Cover
nor TilIman nor DR.. Bates will say any
thing about the matter, and will not
even acknowledge the offer.
There is every Indication that the
Legislature will have to entertain one
or more schemes in regard to refund
ing the State debt.

INHUMAN FATHER.
Dorsey Goodin, Of Florence County, Keats
His Child to Death.
Especial to Augusta Chronicle

Especial to Augusta Chronicle]
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. dorsey
Goodin deliberately beat to death his
little 7-year.old step-daughter last
Saturday, near Timmonsville, Florence
county.
At the coroner's inquest to-day, the
facts were brought out that in spite OF
the chiid's mother, Goodin whipped it
with a large leather strap, having an
iron buckle on the end, for at least
twenty-five minutes, and then picked
it up and hurled it to the floor.
He then forced the mother to 60
away with him and work. They re-
turned three hours later and found that
the poor child had crawied up on a
pile of cotton seed and was i'll a dying
condition. Five minutes afterward the
child died. The jury found its back
from head to heels mass of old scars
showing that Goodin had previously
maltreated it, and a perfect mass Of
bruises, contusions and lacerations
from the recent inhumanity of its
brutal step father.
A verdict in accordance with these
facts was rendered. Goodin has been
arrested, and in spite OF frequent
threats of lynching, has been safely
lodged in the Florence Jail.

ELECTIONS.

Before this issue of The Herald and
News reaches its readers the American
people will lave decided by their ballots
whom they want to I'll the highest Of
fee within their gift for the next four
years.
It-has been very important contest.
The Democrats have put forward the
same candidate for three successive
terms. But it is not Of the candidates
nor of this particular election we pur-
pose to write. In the State we have an
election in every two years.
Did you ever think Of the amount of
time and expense to the State these
biennial elections cause? For the past
two times especially the campaign has
opened ..as early as March and from
then on until the first Of October the
the State is torn from one end to the
other and all for what? That we might
select few men for Office. About one
fourth Of our time is almost entirely
given up to politics. Business is dis
tracted; the people are harangued by
the politicians; dissensions and bad
feelings result. The American people
are all politicians, but if we had fewer
elections it would be great deal better
for everybody.
It would be great improvement0to
have our State election but once in four
years. Itseems to be sort Of an unwrit-
ten law that each administration shall
have two terms. Why not make the
term four years and make the Governor
ineligible for second term.
This, it seems TO US, would be great
deal better. for the people. We have
too many elections, and waste too much
time on politics. The change would be
good and q wise one.
