FairYieH Stock Show.

The tenth annual exhibit Of the FLirvieW
Stock, Agricultural and Mechanical Asso-
citation will be held on the Association
grounds, near Fairvew Church, Sep!em-
Der 25th, 1896.
It is the desire of the Association, with
the aid Of generous public, to make the
approaching exhibit surpass all previous
ones in the number and excellence Of its
displays aud in profit and pleasure 10
those who attend it. Everything that has
made this occasion 30 attractive in the
past will be retained, all that may have
been Objectionable will be omitted, and
there will be the addition of many new
and interesting features. No effort will be
spared, nothing left undone that can con.
tribute to the success of the day.
A Grand Stand, with seating capacity
of five hundred. together with fifteen hun
dred feet of plank seats, with backs, erected
in the grove just east OF the Arena will fur
nish ample accommodation for the COM
fort of all visitors. That you may be as
sured of perfect order we point you to past
experience. The grounds are chartered
under the laws Of the State, and officers
have been appointed with full power to
laws and regulations governing previous
displays will be in force. Nothing but
live stock and horse food can be sold on
the grounds.
The SUCCESS Of our enterprise should ap-
peal not only to the pride of the members
of the Association, but also to every citi.
zsn Of Laurens, Abbeville. Anderson,
Spartapburg and Greenville Counties, and
all should contribute to this success by
their presence, and especially by securing
full representation of each section in
every department of the display.

Red Hot Revelations.

To Tie Editor of the State: In your is
sue of the 7th inst you published letter
from Commissioner MiXson. Every
word he says in that letter about my Of.
fering him rebate directly or Indirectly
of any amount or any shape, or at any
time, is absolutely false from beginning
to end.
He further states that "when Mr.. Trax-
Ter was commissioner he discovered that
the Mill Creek Company was being paid
interest after 80 days, and each 80 days
calling for more or bigger intetest." This
statement is also false.
All the goous we sold Commissioner
Traxler were sold on 60 days or four
months time, and interest was charged
after the maturity of each invoice at e
per cent. per annun, and so stated on
each invoice. I cannot understand how
sane man can make such a statement
over his own signature, when he knows
the evidence to prove him falsifor is
on file in the office ofthe State Dispensary.
The reason this man MiNson is so Bit
ter against me is because I would not
employ his agent and pay him COM
mission. Shortly after he was appointed
commissioner, but before the business of
the .dispensary was transferred to him,
he gave his agent letter Of introduction
to me. This agent said he could get me
the business of the State dispensary and
wanted a commission of 81 barrel on =
50 a barrel on Xxx and So barrel on xxx
whiskey, and wanted this on all we sold
the State. 7 told him the Mill Creek Dis
tilling company furnished the capital to
make the dispensary success and that
institution owed US moro than S92, 1000 at
one time, and the books in the office of
the dispensary would prove it, and l
ry would be cold blooded and ungrateful
if they did not give US portion Of their
business without our having to "put up"
for it..
We did not get the business. Now, I
leave the readers of your paper to judge
for themselves. GEO. HUBBELL.

Fight In q Georgia Church.

MACON, GA Aug. 23.--A sensation was
created in the leading Methodist Church
in this city tonight, caused by difficulty
between the Rev. Alonzo Monk, pastor
of the Church, and Tilden Adamson, a
reporter of the Daily Telegraph.
Mr.. Adamson reported the reverend
gentleman's sermon last Sunday, which
was pronounced by the pastor to be
correct. But at to-night's services, Mr..
Monk in his sermon was particularly
severe ON the reporter, and reflected on
him in such manner as to cause Mr..
Adamson to resent it near the end of the
services.
Going to the pulpit the young gentle
man demanded an explanation Of the
Doctors remarks. exchange of words
angered both gentlemen, whereupon they
grabbed each other.
Deacons of the Church rushed forward,
and an exchange of blows between them
and the reporter followed. The news
paper man stood firm and defended him
self as best he could against odds. Police
were sent for. The congregation was
greatly excited, more than thousand
people being present.
Women and men stood on tip-toe to
watch the outcome of the scutiie. Finally
order was restored, but the services were
somewhat shortened by the scene.
Mr.. Monk has been particularly severe
on the bar rooms and lewd houses of the
city, and his language has been the topic
of discussion for week. The trouble to-
night is really an outcome of his sermon
on the bar rooms OF Macon. Mr.. Monk
is one of the ablest ministers in the Meth
odist Church, and while many people ap-
prove his severe attack on the lower ele-
ments of society, there are others who
condemn it as ill-adyised and intemp-
crate

Speaks to the Farmers.

MOUNT GRETNA, PA, Aug. Ex-senator
Ben Tillman of South Carolina made an
address to-day for free silver to the farm
ers gathered to attend the Mount Gretna
agricultural fair. About 700 people, most
of them farmers, made up Senator Till
mans audience. The speaker was given
respectful attention and was frequently
applauded.
His concluding paragraph was this:
"Will you submit to English domina
ton ? We whipped England in 1776, we
whipped her in 1912 and we can whip her
to day with one hand tied Think whether
you will again have Pierpont Morgan
and his gang of fghouls in Wall Street to
govern and have dominion over our
President and congress, or whether you
will free us and restore our majesty as
American freemen. Tell your rarty to
20 to the devil unless 1t is going to do
what is right"
With this blunt ending the Senator sat
down. Immediately man rose IN the
audience and proposed q vote OF thanks
to Mr.. Tillman, but there were score of
shouts of "no." The senator sat entirely
unmindful Of the turmoil that was created
for the instant, until the chairman could
call the meeting to order and introduce
ex-congressman c.. II. Turner Of New
York, who also made silver speech.

I Wire Will BE Used.

Col. D. P. Duncan, manager OF the
Farmers Alliance exchange, returned
from New York yesterday, where he had
gone to arrange for the wire cotton ties.
He was asked by representative of the
State what success he had met with.
"I found the manufacturers willing
and even anxious to help the farmers
out in their fight against the Tie trust"
he replied. "I have arranged with a
manufacturer to make US wire ties. They
will be made of No annealed steel wire
80 ties to the bundle, which is the same
as is now put in the bundle Of flat hoop
ties.
"The tie will weigh l Ia ponnds, and
will cost 90 cents per bundle delivered in
Columbia. The freight rate is 81 cents per
hundred to this city, and it will be little
more to some other points, which will add
a cent or such matter to the cost per
bundle.
''Now, as to the comparative cost of the
wire and hoop tie. A bundle of 30 wire
ties weigh 81 IL pounds. and costs 90
cents, or S2.40 per hundred pounds, while
the same number of hoop ties weigh 45
pounds, and cost $1.45, or 1921 cents per
hundred pounds. This, you see, makes
hundred pounds of wire ties cost 81
cents less than a hundred pounds Of the
hoop ties.
"Ihe reason fixed upon the large wire
tie was to get the undoubted strength.
The manufacturer said that in pulling
the cotton out of the hold Of a ship the
smaller wire might give way, but this
No. they would guarantee to stay fast.
Besides, the weight was another consid-
Grafton.
"Afer this season hardly think the
hoop ties will cost over Sl.O0 per bundle,
for the wire has come to stay.
"The ties will have complete loop on
one end, and the other end in baling will
be run through the loop, bent back, and
the end put under the wire around the
bale. In com pressing it will only be ne
cessary to pull the wire through the loop,
run the end under the wire, and the work
is done. The manufacturers said 1t will
hold any kind of pressure or handling.
"The factory is now at work on car
load, and will be ready to ship in few
days. I hope to have carload here next
week."
Colonel Duncan has worked hard to
down the hoop tie trust in this fight, and
from this statement it looks as if he had
succeeded. He receives doz7ns Of letters
daily from farmers all over the State ask
ing about the wire tie, and all are holding
back to hear the result of the negotia-
tions with the manufacturers.
Wire will be extensively used in this
State.--ColunGia State, august 90.

The following is the letter of Mr.. Mix
sons nephew TO him:
F. NJ. Mixson, State Commissioner, Co.
lumbia, S. G.
Dear Sir:-Replying to your request to
state to you what occurred relative to q
letter of introduction to George Hubbell,
secretary of the Mill Creek Distilling
company, Cincinnati. given me by you
sometime the first of the year, 1895. /
beg to say that when called upon you
about the time you took charge of the
State Dispensary, and asked you for let
ters of introduction for several western
firms, from whom the dispenssry bought
goods, you kindly gave them to me,
among them one to Mr.. Hubbell. AS
well as can remember, the letter read:
"This will be handed you by my nephew,
Mr.. r NJ. Mixson, who represents the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. Any
thing you can do for him will be appre-
ciated by yours respectfully, f. NJ. Mix
SON"
I secured this letter for the reason that
7 was anxious to haul all the shipments
for the Mill Creek Distilling company,
having been hauling only portion OF
same under Mr.. TraXler. l mailed this
letter to Mr.. Hubbell, stating that 1 would
like to meet him Oh his next visit to this
territory. Mr.. Hubbell replied that he
would notify me when he next came to
Georgia or South Carolina. Finding that
1 was losing his Macon shipments also,
wired him that was anxious to see him,
and to please wire me dead-head answer
when he would be down.
finally met Mr.. Hubbell on one Of my
regular visits to Macon, and had nice
talk with him, relative to freights and
other things. During this conversation
Mr.. Hubbell made me proposition to
represent the Mill Creek Dstilling COM
pany in South Carolina, and offered to pay
me so cents per barrel on whiskey L
would sell to the South Carolina State
dispensary.
This went on for some months. when l
met him at the Planters hotel, Augusta
on mis- way to Columbia, S. c. He then
increased his offer to 81 for one X, $500
for two XN and $500 for xxx. He went
on to Columbia, and on Saturday after
noon of same week he wired me to meet
him Sunday afternoon following at the
Planters hotel Augusta. l was in Au-
gusta, and met him. He informed NE
that he had had 8 settlement in full with
the dispensary and had concluded to
abandon their business; that it was too
risky, and therefore had asked me to meet
him SO that he could withdraw his propo-
sition.
The foregoing propositions were made
to me individually, and not as agent for
anybody else. Yours truly,
r. NJ. MIXSON.

To enumerste the worlds population is
task which is simply appalling in its
magnitude and yet before the present
century has completed its course that
task, as difficult as it may seem, will be
inaugurated. In round numbers the
population of the globe is estimated at
1,7OO,000,0oO. These figures, however,
are based upon the calculations which
each country has made for itself, and
while the grregate may be within close
approximation Of the real number, this
method Of enumeration is too complica-
ted to be reliable. AT the last biennial
meeting of the International Statistical
Institute, recently held in Switzerland, it
was decided to institute census which
should have for its scope the entire pop
ulation of the globe. The advantage OF
such census is that it will be thorough
ly supervised by competent statisticians
appointed for the special purpose. 1t
Will take several years, perhaps. to COM
plete census of this kind, but it will
put at rest all doubt as to the number of
beings who inhabit this planet.

The present age is time of great ac-
tivity. We walk rapidly; we ride and
drive at full speed and the swiftest ex-
press trains are always preferred, and
even they seem too slow. Leisurely read
ing is thing Of the past. In whatever
we engage we are restless if any delay
occurs. In our anusements there is con-
stant hurry. There is no opportunity for
quiet reflection and recuperating rest.
The mental and physical machinery is
constantly in motion. Individual devel-
opment is neglected, and our personality
is swallowed up in the whirling mass.
The results are superficial thinking, in
complete work, and an early breaking
down of the human system.
