Chances of the State Fair.
What Secretary Holloway has to
Say.

CoLrAB1A, Sept. Especial to the
News and Courier: Col. Holloway,
Secretary Of the Agricultural and
Mechanical Society Of South Carroll
ua, was in town to day, and being
asked about the prospects OF tue
State Fair, said:
II think very good since the rail.
roads have given rates Of passage Of
one cent per mile for the distance
travelled for Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, 18th, 18th and 18th OF
November The low rates will draw
the people The exhibits will be
good, judging from the many inquiries
made of me for copies OF the
premium list, on which the Bryan
Printing Company is at work, and
when ready copy will be sent to
each of the exhibitors of last year, as
we'll as to the many who have APP
piled for a copy. The committee on
the premium list revised the
premiums some time ago, IN which
there is very little change "
"What do you think of the scheme
of opening the Fair grounds at
night %
II think the idea a capital one.
and should be done by all means.
There are hundreds Of clerks and
others in the city who, owing to
their business engagement. under
the present arrangements never got
to the Fair This departure will en-.
able all such and many others to
spend the evenings on the grounds
and in the building. 1t is proposed
to devote the space formerly occu'
pied by the flowers for those who
wish to take advantage Of superior
band OF music and a first class dane
ing 4oor.
.Wbat are the people Of Columbia
doing in the way Of securing attrac-
tions for Fair week 2"
II have seen nothing that has been
done in that line, but trust that a
committee to be appointed for that
purpose will work energetlcally III
that direction and secure such attrac-
tions as will, with other inducements,
draw the usual crowd of visitors.
All who are NOT only interested in the
success and prosperity of the mate
rial interests Of the State, should
work vigorously for the object SO
much desired

A Road Congress.
Supervisor Scott Accepts the
Amendments and Urges
the Meeting.

To the Editor of Tile State
l notice in your issue Of the 9th
inst an anonymous article in refer
ence to the county supervisors meet

conversation which he had recently
with gentleman upon the same cub
iect who seems to be greatly inter
ested in the matter of having gen
eral assembly of our people in order
to talk up and agitate the subject of
an improved system of road working.
Those gentlemen are of the opinion
that my invitation in my first article
some time ago did not extend far
enough, and they suggest thai all
county commissioners, road over
seers. road machine dealers and, In
fact, every one who will take part
with US. should be invited to attend
the meering of the county super.
visors, and that it should be road
congress instead of supervisors
meeting. l think those gentlemen
are exactly right, and that we should
have general meeting of our people
and talk the road question over, FOR
it is one Of the most important ques-
tions of cur day | thank those
gentlemen for their encouraging sug.
gestions.

name of the meeting and calling it as
they suggest road congress, but be-
ing timid man. felt delicacy in
calling it such big name. My idea
was to get our supervisors together

ton of the public that the 24th day
OF the present month, a: 4 O'Clock,
at the State House, is the time and
lace of meeting. The hour and
place of meeting may seem somewhat
iuopportune. as the legislative halls
will probably be occupied at that
time by the Constitutional convention
and 4 O'Clock beirg rathe: late IN

sufficiently late in the day to enable
almost every one who wonId attend
the meeting to leave home in the
morning or forenoon and arrive in :,
Columbia by the hour set. Let us all
meet then at the time and place
named aud arrange for place of
meeting and we can organize on the
afternoon of the oath and be in time

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS
OF MOUNT LEBANON.

We may not accept their peculiar re-
ligious views. We cannot enter into the
spirit of their sacrifices, and therefore we
do not study their habits of life.
II Is not necessary to believe as they do,
but we can and do respect their sincerity
OF purpose and the honor and uprightness
which mark all their business dealings.
In one particular the Shakers excel all
other men or classes Of men. This Is In
the cultivation OF medicinal herbs and
plants. They have made IL study for
more than one hundred years. They are
also expert In extracting from them their
characteristic essences and medicinal vlr-
tues. This is their peculiar industry.
Their lives have been devoted TO 1t. BY
i they are supported. They excel In this
branch as do the monks OF the order OF
St. Benedict with their famous liquor
called "Benedictine.
Now, this life-long study on the part Of
the Shakers has not been In vain. They
have accomplished much good. Their
medicinal extracts and cordialS are known
throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is prob
ably the most useful medicine ever given
to the public. 1t Is not cure for all dis
eases; it doesn't pretend TO be; but one
disease 1t will cure, and that is indiges-
ton. 1t Is not pretended that 1t will cure
anything else, and sufferer has not TO
wait to see the result. The effect is i'm
mediate. Almost the first dose will give
relief, and, II continued, a permanent cure
will follow. =
Every druggist has been sent a supply
of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books,
and copy may be had for the asking 1t
tells all about the Cordial as well as
Laxol, the new castor oil.
Try a twenty five-cent bottle OF Diges-
tive Cordial and see what 1t will do for
you.

CUT IT OFF SHORT.

1t is too late in the day to make
any iuvidious distinctions between
the "Blue and the Gray" The war
Is over. The courage and valor Of
the soldiers of the armies who par
ticipated in that great conflict,
which astonished civilization, was
approved on too many bloody
fields to leave any room to ques-
ton either the one or the other.
Thirty years have elapsed since
the white wings of peace were
spread over those bloody fields, in
which so many thousands Of both
Union and Confederate soldiers at
tested their devotion to their colors
and their undsunted bravery, and
it is time that the healing hand OF
softened memory was laid on
the open wounds Of that con-
flict. To charao ierize either
North or South as wanting in
any soldierly qualities, as such
qualities were exampled in
the late war between the states, is
to falsify every record, and to do
violence to the truth. What is to
be gained by Juggling in the ami
mosities of past generation into
a petty controversy over present
things? Certainly nothing. 1t is
in bad taste, it is ungenerous, it is
unwise, it can answer no good end
and is to be deprecated alike, by
the sober second thought Of those
who participated in that stubborn
on both sides. The valor |
and the soldierly qualities Of the
men who won that fight and those
who lost, is above the criticism OF ]
any man. The verdict has been
rendered and no power of earth or
time can revoke it. 1t Is as thor
oughly established as the founda-
tions Of the Republic itself. That |
courage and deathless valor was
one, it was the courage and the
valor Of true Americans, fighting
on different sides Of a question |
which had divided the wisdom
Of the nation since the very founda-
ton of the government. That |
question at last submitted to the
arbitrament Of arms has been set
tied. In that settlement the South
now acquiesces as heartily as the
North, and right here the whole
matter should forever rest. The
vast army Of the "Boys in Blue"
have ever paid highest tribute to
the soldierly qualities Of the "Boys
in Gray" and it Is not either wise
or just to accept at this late day
the private expressions Of anyone
Of either of these great hosts as the
Of the host itself. To
the courage Of action on the field
of battle should now be added the
wisdom of expression in the day Of
peace.

Terrible Torture in Morocco.

A charge has been laid at Mulai
Omar's door-that of having ordered
the music of the drums and flies to
cease on the occasion of the announce
ment Of Mulai Abdul Aziz's succession
to the throne. On the players refus-
ing, his highness sent a slave, who en-
forced silence by splitting up the drums
with dagger. For this act of treason
he was afterwards punished by having
the flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filed with salt, and the whole hand sewn
up in leather. 1t is q common belief
that this punishment causes mortifica-
ton to set in and that the hand decom-
poses; but such is not the case, for by
the time the leather wears off the
wound is healed, the result being that
the hand is rendered useless and re-
mains closed forever. 1t is punish
ment not often in use, but is sometimes
done in cases of murder or constant
theft, as, without in any way injurlng
the health of the man, it prevents his
committing the crime a second time, or
for the hundredth time, as the case may
be. 1t Is a punishment that cannot be
applied except by the sultans orders
