BIDS FAIR.

The time for the holding OF the
County Fair is rapidly approaching.
This is evidenced not only by reason
of the unusual hustle around, and on
the grounds but also by the number
of horses which are daily exercised on
the track. New buildings are being
erected and should the weather prove
favorable all indications point to a
successful fair. What is now seem
ingly deserted and vacant field, will
in few weeks be surging mass Of
humanity. Columbia County has the
reputation (and justly too) Of having
the largest fair in the State.

AN INTERESTING COLLECTION.

The windows of the restaurant of
w. H. Gilmore have during the week,
attracted the attention of nearly every
one who passed them. Mr.. Gilmore
has for years, been collecting relics of
different kinds, notably among which
are those pertaining to the war, and
war times, and as the re union of the
I3and Regiment occurred this week,
he decided to give the public an op.
portunity of seeing them. Among
the articles exhibited, is copy Of
the Star of The North, a weekly
newspaper once published in this
place, and dated Sept. II, 1862, which
among other interesting items, gives
the list of the officers and privates of
the Columbia County Guards.
Some Of the officers were as follows:
Capt. Michael Whitmoyer, Ist Lieu.
tenant Andrew Mensch, and Lieu
tenant, d. R. Melick, Ist Sergeant
W. A. Barton, end Sergeant Geo. w.
Howell, 3rd Sergeant W. H. Gilmore,
4th Sergeant w. c. Shaw, 5th Ser
geant w. ]. Rem. There is also a
copy of the Columbia Democrat pub.
lished May II, 1861. One Of the
greatest relics, is a copy of the Vir-
ginia Gazette and PeterS6urg In
telIigencer which was bi.weekly, and
this copy was issued Nov. IA, 1894.
1t contains the following interesting
articles. "For Sale.-A young negro
wench about al years of age. She is
good cook and is fit for any service
either in the house or field. Also a
likely young mulatto girl about seven
teen years Of age, that has been brought
up in the house. Can wash, spin,
cook, and has been accustomed to
wait on the table,"
His collection of money is unusually
large, and rare. He has one each Of
all the fractional scrip ever issued in
denominations Of S Io.I5.25 and 50
cents. Many of the different National,
and u. S. Treasury notes, as well as a
large lot of State bank notes. Gold
pieces of all the different values, and
silver half dollars, from 1903, to 1890,
inclusive as we'll as pennies from
1900, to 1850. There is also Con-
federate money of different kinds and
value, notably among which is a
twenty FIVE cent note issued by Ala.
bama and North Carolina. He also
has on exhibition his commission as
third Sergeant of the Columbia County
Guards, dated Dec. 3, 1862. The
musket, knapsack, haversack and can
teen, which were carried through the
war by c. c. Mari, comes in for a
large amount Of attention as it has
been nicely preserved. We also for
got to mention that his photograph
the original Of which was taken In
the army can also be seen, and it look.
just like oily. In addition to al
this, there is fine collection of arrow
heads and bugs. AS Mr.. Gilmore il
an enthusiastic fireman, the displa,
would not be complete without som,
such relics, and hence, he shows
large collection of badges, of all con
. ceivable colors, and designs, which h
, has gathered at different reunions
On the whole, it is such a collection
as is seldom seen and reflects grea
credit on the owner.

WHAT SHALL WE Do WITH
OUR SALOONS?
BY DIR. c. y. COOPER, A. N.
CConelusioa.J

In communities where prohibition
cannot prevail, and the lamentable
fact that there are such stares us in
the face, would suggest that every
possible restraint be placed about
the wicked business, making it as
restrictive as possible; and that the
highest practicable license fee be
demanded quarterly In advance, with
the license forfeitable. Let this
money be placed in q special fund,
ont of which all the expenses of the
above mentioned inebriate hospitals
shall be paid, and the remainder be
devoted to relieving as far as may be
the want and misery directly arising
from the traffic which the community
demands. shall be legalized. In
these hospitals all inebriates should
be placed uOlsHs rolsnS. there to be re-
tanned under proper medical care and
treatment, until they shall be restor-
ed to self control. They might then
become factors In the well being of
society, instead of by word and
kissing as now. Four-fifths of the
occupants OF our jsils would become
producers, and not consumers only,
for it is an undenisble fact that
drink Is the largest factor In crime.
That it is by far the largest factor in
poverty no one would think of deny
ing
Another matter of vital Importance
presents itself In the fact that thou
sands of children are annually born
OF drunken parents, with inherent
taints of vice, insanity and drunken
ness. The compulsory restraint of
inebriates would so far remedy this
evil that in two or three generations
this feature of the curse would al
most cease to exist
The contamination OF these
objects, which 1 believe to be posi-
Die, are certainly greatly TO be desir-
ed, and to me, the plan which offers
the greatest promise of success is
that of compulsory restraint and
treatment of inebriates IN hospitals
supported by the money derived
from the traffic itself.-Y.W.C.T.U.

The baseball game between the

urday was what might be termed
a running race, in which the Stars
came out ahead with a score Of p
to Is. The pitching was not up 10
the average in past games. The
-hamehamehas seemed lost with
out Mahuka, their captain aud
leading spirit, who lately joined
the ranks of the Benedicts. The
feature of the game was the re-
markable batting of the Stars and
their capability of punching hits.

RELIGION OF THE GOVERNORS
An Interesting Canvass Among the
State Executives.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Of the State Gov
errors in the American Union, thirty
nine are avoWed believers in religion,
Twenty-Five are prOfeSSed Christians,
most of the them are regular attendants
at worship and vast majority are con-
tributOrS to the expense of religious
work. A careful canvass of the subject
made by the Times Herald diScloses these
facts. Responses were obtained from
forty-three of the State Governors and
three of the Territorial executives.
OF the State Governors, one, Mr.. Gull
berson, of Texas, declined to define his
sentiments, and no one would speak for
him, and another, Gov. Evans, Of South
Carolina, failed to respond. Among
them there are ten Preshyterians, five
O0ngregationalists, five Episcopalians,
four Methodists, three Unitarians, one
Baptist, one Christian and sixteen I'M
connected with church organizations.
OF these sixteen Governors unattached
to UNCONVENTIONAL organizations twelve
attend religious services regularly or in
termittently. Ten of them have demon
national preferences, three are MethO-
dists, three Pre8byterians, one Congre-
gationalist, one Episcopaian and one
Baptist.
The most conspicuous of the MethC-
dist Governors are William Mckinley, of
Ohio, and Daniel Il. Hastings, and, Gu
riously enough, both are presidential
candidates. Other Governors who at
tend that church are Stone of Missis-
sippi, Oleaves of Maine, Clarke Arkan-
sas, Richards of Montana and Foster Of
Louisiana. The Presbyterian fold en-
braces Governors Matthews of Indiana,
Allen of North Dakota, O'Ferrall of
Virginia, Brown Of Maryland, Renfrow
of Oklahoma and Jefferson Gardner,
chief of the Choctaw Nation in the In
dian Territory Gov. Morton, of New
York, presidential candidate; Turney
of Tennessee, Watson of Delware, Prince
of New Mexico and Carr of North Caro-
lima, are Episcopalians.
Governor Budd, of California, in his
reply, says he has no religion, but he
believes in the observance of Sunday as
the day of rest. His parents are not
believers, and he was brought up as a
free thinker
Governor Oates, of Alabama, says he
is not a member of any church, and that
he never joined but two institutions
the Masonic fraternity and the Demo
cratic party.
The Unitarians are Greenhalge, of
Massachusetts, Morrill, of Kansas. and
Lippitt, Of Rhode Island.
