A Countryman at the Fair.

Were 1t in my power I would add
another degree of comparison to
adjectives before attempting to
tell the ADVERTISERS readers any
thing about this town and its show.
Everything here Is immense ex.
cept prices, and the latter strike
me as wonderfully low. One can
come here and live frugalIy on
as little as he can get board at at
a decent hotel in South Carolina.
BY "frugally" 1 mean that the So
journer must content himself with
two square meals and a lunch per
day and a comfortable room shared
with a friend, free baths and good
attention included. All this may
be had at from two to two and q
half dollars a day.
Our party arrived Saturday p. Nj.
after being on the road forty-eight
hours. We were delayed at Ashe-
vile, Knoxville and ia a patch Of
woods some where down in Ken
lucky. The gang enjoyed the trip
though and all boys and girls too
were in elegant trim when they
struck the town.
1t is out of the question for one
to write a sensible letter after a
days work doing the fair. My
advice to my friends is that they
come up here if they can, but for a
couple Of weeks before leaving
home they should ego into train
ing" They should habituate them
selves 70 walking fifteen or twenty
miles every morning for @ while
on1 than, fhnxy not, horo fN rN~oD
made through the interminable
aisles of a building which covers
as much ground as a mule a Gull
tivate without becoming agoniz-
ingly tired. Those who have three
months to see the fair in may un-
dertake it ~leisurely but the unplu-
tocratic citizen to whom time is
cash must go in a gallop if he
wishes to get a bird's-eye view of
the exhibits within a fortnight.
The city of Chicago is decidedly
handsome. There is nothing
crowded about it except the cable
cars and one a forgive them,
they are so accommodating and
hospitable.
think that if one of the famous
tall buildings here should topple
over some of the bricks would be
liable to fall on the opposite side
of Lake Michigan.
1 have not had the pleasure of
seeing q mule since my arrival.
Every now and then n has a fit
ting glance at a darkey, but not
often.
There is no cr0Wd in attendance
at the fair grounds, but there are
swarms and herds and droves,
myriads, millions, armies and hosts
of folks. Room is too plentiful
though for q crowd to c~ongregate.
I spent to-day in the Agricultu-
raj, and Manufacturers and Libe-
raj Arts buildings. The most strik-
ing thing 1 saw was the exhibitor
the "Royal Porcelain Works of
Berlin" B.

Death of a Good Man.

Lewis D. Power, of Powers, s. c., died
on tuesday of typhoid fever. He was
46 years old and was a member of the
Presbyterian church and a man OF excel
lont character, respected and loved by
The community. He leaves a widow,
two sons and two daughters. He was
buried on Thursday at New Harmony
church. The funeral sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr.. Craig. Mr..
Power was a prominent citizen and the
funeral was probably the largest over
witnessed in that section.-Greenvilc
Ncws.
This valuable citizen will be greatly
missed by his neighborhood, his church
and in fact by his entire county. His
family have the sympathy of a wide re-
iationsmp and a large circle OF friends.
Next Friday.
Friday next is a fateful day to three
young colored men, sentenced to be
hung in the Jail yard of the county, all
of whom will no doubt be executed.
Charlie Green, George Bowers and Wade
cannon wore convicted at the July ses-
sions of arson in burning Mr. J. D.Halrs-
toms dwelling on a night In July last.
Green has appealed his case and his case
will go to the Supreme Court. Bowers
and Cannon are young colored men,
twenty-one years Of age, unmarried, and
were reared in this county and New
berry. They were convicted upon cir
cumstantial evidence and their own
statements. They now deny their guilt
and say they were frightened into the
fatal admissions pom which they were
convicted. They had a trial by an i'm
partial Jury of more than average intel
ligence. There has been no effort to SO.
cure the interference of Gov. Tillman.
John Ferguson a young colored man
of this town was sentenced for the MUIR
dor OF his wife in March last by cutting
her throat. 1t was a bloody business.
The decd was done in broad day light.
Ho escaped to the woods, but returned
at 2 a. M, and surrendered to the Sheriff.
An effort was made to show that he was
epilectic and irresponsible. Since his
conviction application has been made to
Gov. Tillman to commute the sentence.
The papers were referred to Judge Wal
lace aud Solicitor Schumpert who re-
port unfavorably upon the petition.
There is little probability of executive
interposition and he will no doubt be
executed on the day fixed.
White and colored ministers have
ministered to these unfortunates. All
three profess having made their peace
with God.

industry was not always appreciated,

damage caused to business generally by
its discussion. The Mckinley law, as
far as the industry was concerned, was
the best the country has ever had. Ii
had reduced duties on iron and steel,
but had afforded the industries protec-
tion. They were satisfied with it and
