Mr.. KIRKPATRICk, representing the
Third district in congress is responsible
for the statement that the people of Kan
sas want fewer imports and more exports.
The United States is now exporting more
than ever before in its history. MIR.
Kirkpatrick must have spoken little
hastily or else he made up his mind
without thorough investigation. 1t is
not more exports that the people of Kan
sas want but more money for what they
export They know, however, that this
cannot be while the country remains

At the Coming In of Lent.

AS the blithest bird that sings.
Now for her, alas, no more time
Flies with morning tinted wings,
For whene 'er the church bell tinkle8
Must the prayerful knee be bent.

Justice Of the.Court OF Appeals Of the District
of Columbia. recently wrote to the State
Department on the subject, saying that the
original paper was held 10y the Federal Gov

did not properly belong to the State. The
State Department archives has been searched
and the document found, bound in volume

THE STATE FAIR.
Interesting Information from Col. Hol
loway-Special Premiums.

lOway-Special Premiums.
Already preparations are being
made for the holding of the State fair,
and it won't be the fault of the officials
II the fair is not one of the largest and
best exhibitions ever offered to sight
seeing In South Carolina. 1t is the in
tentlon of the authorities to make the
coming fair the most wonderful in the
history of the society-a veritable
gathering of all the people in the fall
Col. Holloway is very hopeful of
making the fair such Il success. He
says the country is in good shape, and
the friends of progress, knowing the
advantages to accrue to the people of
the State by encouraging farm indus
try, as shown by their experience, will
he confidently believes, attend the fair
In larger numbers than ever before.
Col. Holloway says the authorities
OF the two great State institutions,
Clemson and the Winthrop college,
have promised to have a day set apart
for the attendance of the pupils of
these institutions.
The society is also endenvoring to
arrange for competitive military con-
test, which will secure the attendance
OF many military companies from all
over the State. Efforts are being
made also to arrange competitive
drill between the cadet corps from
Clemson and from the citadel
Clemson will have one of the best ex
hibits ever seen on the grounds of the
society. 1t will consist of products
from the farm, the dairy, the machine
shop, the cannery, etc., designed to
show to the people of the State the work
that is being done at Clemson in in
structing the boys in the various in
dustries.
The management of the society,
Col. Holloway says, are anxions to
have individuals throughout the State
offer special premiums for such class
of exhibits as in their Judgment should
be specially encouraged. This should
be done as early rs possible in order
that such premiums may be inserted
in the premium list, which is now in
the hands of the printer being made
ready for publication.
The executive committee, in revising
the premium list of the coming fair,
added class 5 of swine, Offering the
following premiums: For the heaviest
hog OF not less than 500 pounds, $50;
for second heaviest, $50; third heaviest,

White, of Rock Hill, offers, 81, S5, and
SO, for the first, second and third
heaviest hog respectively; provided
that the hog is registered Berkshire,

quired.
In view of the fact that owing to the
lack Of resources the executive com
mittee has been compelled to lessen
the amounts of the premiums offered
at the coming fair, it is earnestly sug-
gested that the hotels and business
houses of Columbia each offer a special
premium of not less than So for such
an exhibit us may be preferred. This
should be attended to at once, the
amount of the premium and for wha:
kind of exhibit intended, being sent to
Secretary Holloway immediately, in
order that the name of the donor, the
amount of the premium and for what
it is offered may appear in the forth
coming premium list.
