This Fall as Usual.

The State Agricultural and Me
chanical Association have succeeded
in making arrangements for the hold.
ing of. the Annual State Fair i'll Co.
lumbia, November llth to 18th.
Sufficient money has been raised
To- guarantee a. bbberas premium siist !;
the railroads have decided to give a
srate of one cent.ssmile both ways
Sfor three days. aud the city Of Co.
lumbia will have outside amusements
that will be worth going to Columbia
to see.
1t is safe to say that the Fair this
year will equal, if not excel. any pre-
viously held by the society.

To the People Of South Carolina
1t gives US great pleasure to say
that the State Agricultural and Me-
chanical Society is in condition to
carry on the great work in which it
has been engaged; looking to the ad.
vancement of the Agricultural and
Mechanical interests Of our State,
and that the usual Fair will be held
in Columbia, November llth to 18th,
under the brightest auspices.
all the money arrangements have
been made for paying premiums and
other expenses.
The railroads have aeceded to our
request, aud have given us rate ct
one cent per mileseounting both ways
for three days during Fair week,
Excursien trains will be run during
this time, so that it will be conven.
lent and cheap for the greater part OF
the people to attend
The revision Of the Premium List
is in the hands of a committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, and will
soon be ready for distribution
1t is highly probable that some hne
racing will be witnessed, in addition
to the other attractive features
The last two Fairs were as full and
equal in all respects in point OF tie
nnmber aud the excellence Of exhibits
as any preceding Fairs, though more
slimly attended because of excessive
railroad rates charged visitors. All
these drawbacks having been salts
factorially adjusted, there is no rea-
son why this Fair should not be as
successful az any heretofore held
Attend the Fair, and encourage us
with your presence, and assist lis this
great enterprise.

INSTRUCTION

enables you to know more.
You can't know unless you see.
Normal sight often returns with
the use Of glasses. Spectacles
are the great sight-makers and
sight-savers. They give to
those who have them a new
power Of vision, while they also
save the imperfect sight they
already possess from further
Impairment. While you can't
see less, you are bound to see
more and better, if you correct
any existing defects by prop
erly fitted glasses. Only an
expert optician can fit the eye.
We invariably inform our pat
rons what they require and
supply the exact s. ass needed
to meet their case.

CHEAP MEN,

The City Treasurer OF TT. Worth
has been indicted, charged with EN-
bezzling city funds to the amount of
$ll4,755, He bitterly denies the
charge, The case grew out1of the
City National bank suspension. In
ter-State News.
The treasurer is one Of those bank
cashier or bank president treasur-
ers, like the cities Of Waco, Paris,
IT. Worth and others are honoring
with this Office at the salary of 81
year, These scamps get the coun-
Gil to cut down the salary, put the
bond up until it cannot be given by
any one save a bank man, and then
they offer for the Office in an indif-
ferent way, making the voter think
that they do not care for the place,
and when they one get it and the
public's smoney, they do pretty much
as they please. If the bank is clos
ed during their official service they
fill their pockets full and charge the
amount up to Dick Tom and Harry,
and make their escape in this man
ner, These men who work for moth
ing are high at any price, and this
Fort Worth man, who, we opine, Is
a "dollar a year" salaried man, has
proved himself very high man at

GENERAL GORDON.
Calls on the old Vets to Organize for
the Reunion.

New Orleans, April 27.-J. B.
Gordon, general commanding Unit
ed Confederate Veterans, through
Adjutant General Moorman, has is
sued an order in which he congrat-
ulates the brotherhood of United
Confederate Veterans that number
800 has been reached in the enroll
ment of new camps, and that appli-
cations have been made for the or
grnization of nearly a hundred
more, He appeals to the veterans
nearly everywhere where they have
not already done so, to at once
join their comrades in the peaceful,
beniicent and christian purposes
contemplated, and that they imme-
diately organize and apply by tele-
gram or letter to these headquar-
ters for necessary information and
documents 50 as to be represented
at the great reunion to be held in
Houston May 22nd next. The press
is requested to publish this order,
and through the editorial columns
to call upon old soldiers to organize
at once,
In connection with the above, we
wish to say, that there is a camp
organized across the line, known as
A, p. Hill camp, which is now in a
hourishing condition and we urge on
all ex-Confederates to have their
names enrolled, 1t only takes 10
cents to become a member, and
much benefit can be derived from
the organization.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Outlook and Work in Progress on the
Z. G. P. &C. Line.

The editor of this paper inter
viewed a prominent railroad official
of the Index Line, OK. @. P. & g.
this morning, from which we deduce
the following outlook ahead, for
that road, and work now in pro-
gress:
Track laying south is still pro-
crossing slowly, on account of hav-
ing to haul the ties from the north
end. BY the close of the week, it is
expected that track will reach Sui
phur river.
1t will require about two weeks
to drive the piling, etc, so as to
get across Sulphur river,
Work of grading on the first ten
miles below the river is in progress,
and as soon as it is crossed, track
laying will begin on this section.
Within the next forty days Caddo
parish, La, and Shreveport, its
principal city, will take vote on
the matter of taxing its people to
the tune $3.50, 900, to secure the K,
G. p. & G.. road for that city, to-
gether with it's shops. If this sum
is not voted, Ito be paid in ten
years. the road will be run west of
Shreveport about twenty five miles,
near the State Line in Texas. Then
Texarkana would get the shops,
Before December the "iron horse"
will be running as far south as
Shreveport, if road runs via that
city.
The work on the north end is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Grading is
to be started from Fort Smith
south, toward TeXarkana at once,
In a week or so the rails will be laid
on the four miles already graded
beyond Little river, to Horatio, and
it is thought grading will begin
north of that point, in the near fu-
ture.
The general outlook for our north
and south line, OK, G. p. & g. is yet
bright, and ere long Texarkana will
be reaping great benefits from the
additional advantages it will give
her.

DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAST.
Kentucky State Convention Starts in With
Row.

Louisville, KY, June 25.-The Demo-
cratic state convention assembled at
Music Hall at noon with a large repre-
sentation from every district in the state.
Chairman Carroll of the state commit
tee called the convention to order Dis
trict conventions to choose members of
the committee on resolutions reported
selections. Eight gold men and three
silver men were chosen. The chair an
nounced the members at large The pro-
ceedings began in a hubbub over the
resolution declaring it un-American to
discriminate against any man or
woman because of his OF her religious
preference.
The committee on credentials will not
be ready to report till midnight. The
convention persistently refused to ad-
journ and the chairman said it would be
impossible to adjourn and paid no atten-
tion to anybody. At a late hour it looks
as if business had come to an end for
the night. Three resolutions were
adopted by the committee. One was
signed by two members and favors the
free coinage of silver. The second re-
afirms the Chicago platform of 1892 and
the third endorses tho administration
The convention adjourned at /. 80 a. m.
