usually large number of visitors

A visit to Columbia during the
State fair is always pleasant and

According to the Alabama En-
quirer, county editor is ono who
reads newspapers, writes on any
subject, sticks typo, folds papers,
makes up mail, runs errands, saws
wood, works in the garden, is
blamed for a thousand other
things he never thought of, works
hard all day, is subject to spring
fever, helps people into office who
forget all about it ofterward, and
frequently gets cheated out of his
earning. He puffs up and does
more to build up town than any
body else; the miser and fogy are
benefited, yet they do not pay for
his paper, but will borrow it and
read it, and cuss the fool of an
editor.

81 want dollar that is worth
dollar" shouts the fool farmer, and
he hauls two bushels of wheat to
market that have cost him 81 40
to produco-and gets it.
"I want II dollar that Is worth a
dollar" yclls the silly planter, and
he carts to market I 5 pounds Of co..
ton that have cost him $3.50 to
makc-and he gets it.
81 want an honest dollar,' h0wls
tho laborng man, and he does So

81 want an honest dollar, 'shrieks

81 want the earth and all that Is or

quietly makes his notes and mort
cages payable in gold-and he has
almost got it.
But the people Of the Unittc
States, just now, are listening viii
serious,and even danger Gus attention
to the summary OF John A. Logan:
"You may theorizc and argue un.
til you are hoarse. yet YOU will fail
to get the people to prefer low prices
to high ones for their products. They
know that one bushel Of wheat at
81 rs in currency will buy one acre
of government land, while 1T takes
wo and a half bushels at 80 cents tc
purchase it, though it be in gold
They know that 81 in paper, if legal
tender, will pay 81 Of taxes as vel

run down prices by iesseuing the

streets. Ali roads led to the convention
hall at Clark avenue and 18th street.
From that great oblong box-like struc-
