Raleigh, \, O., Nov 21.--rhe supreme
court in a very novel ease has decided
that private citizen. impeIsonating an
ordained minister, who solemnizes mar
rage is guilty of no crime either at
common or statute law. The case came
from Pender county, and the persons
thus married are satisfied and living to-
gether as man and wife. The defendant
impersonated a Baptist minister. The
jury found him guilty, but he was dis
charged, judgment having been arrest
ed by the judge. The solicitor appealed,
but is not sustained by the supreme
court.

The committee appointed by the
Columbia Board of Trade to go to
Washington and confer with the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors with a
view of obtaining an appropriation
from Congress to open up Congaree
river to navigation, have performed
their duty and returned home full of
hope and encouragement for the sue
cess of their mission. We would be
glad to see this river opened from
Gervais street to CRANKY as it means
much for Columbia as well as the
surrounding country in the way Of a
great reduction in freight rates and
the consequent reduction in the
price of goods to the consumers.
The people along Congaree and San
tee, as well as the Broad and Saluda
rivers, and the people in the interior
should join Columbia in asking for
this appropriation to remove the
distractions to navigation and open
the river to commerce, as they will,
as well as Columbia, receive direct
benefit from it. Let the good work
90 on and not cease until it is an
accomplished fact.

The commissioners appointed to
locate the geographical centre Of
Saluda county, have completed their
labors at last and stuck the stake at
triangle between Micklers cross
roads, Emory and Red Bank
churches. The location of the county
site will be decided in a primary
election by the people. We hope
now all the unseeming wrange over
its location will cease and peace be-
restored to the warning factions,
which proves our prediction, and that
this new county craze is gotten up
for selfish, designing motives by the
advocates ard not for the merits
claimed for small counties. Other
objections more burdensome and in
furious to the people will crop out as
time passes which will bear out all
OF our predictions. 1t is best to let
we'll enough alone and not listen to
these plausible fellows who pretend
to show up so much advantage with
these small thumbpaper counties.

Almost a Centenarian.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF the Dlspatch:
It has been the custom of the rel
atives of :'Uncle" Jake Eargle for the
past six or eight years to give him a
grand birthday dinner at the old
homestead. On Wednesday, Febru-
ary 5th, in conformity with this Gus
tom, many Of his relatives and few
invited friends assembled at his home
to pay their annual visit and to
spread before him their tokens of
veneration and respect. This is al
ways a grand occasion. His entire
family is prosperous and every one
vies with the other in doing the most
on this day to make the venerable
old man enjoy himself. It would be
hard to set better table than was
set on this day. There was super
abundance and the finest. This is
not unusual, however, with the
Eargles, they are all hard workers
and good li7ers and, may we add,
big caters.
This year "Uncle jake celebrates
his 9th birthday. Verify he has
washed his hands in the morning and
evening dews of the Nineteenth Cen
tury. Time has dealt lightly with
him. Instead of a bowed, crippled
and weakly form as might be ex-
pected, we see form as erect as that
of an Indian warrior; instead of the
dim, sunken eyes that 81 years
would naturally indicate, we see
those that sparkle and glisten with
the lustre of sixteen summers; in
stead Of the slow and baggered steps,

We are glad that the House Of

We are glad that the House OF
Representatives reconsidered the
vote killing the bill approprlat
ing money in aid of the State Fair.
We believe that the refusal to appro-
pirate this money for that purpose
was grave blunder. This is purely
an agricultural and mechanical lnstl-
tuition, where the workmanship OF
the artisan and the products OF agrl
cnlture can be exhibited and thus
create and stimulate spirit OF
friendly rivalry among the people OF
the different sections Of the State,
and thus improving these industries
and enhancing the value OF their
products.
All this talk about immoral shows,
the greatest objection to the appro-
priation, being exhibited on the
grounds is the merest rattle trap,
bid for cheap notoriety and Tor votes
by playing upon the gullibility OF a
gullible constituency and an exhibl-
tion of the theory of a penny wise
and pound foolish. Tha manage
ment of the Fair Association will no
doubt refuse licences to so called I'M
moral shows whenever they are con-
Yinced that the public do not wish to
witness them and that it is against
the interest of The Association to
permit them to exhibit on the
grounds. 1t is a reasonable deduc-
ton to presume that these loud
mouthed guardians of the morals OF
the people are among the best pa
irons and most appreciate audience
of these shows, for they speak with
the tongue and knowledge of men
who have been frequent witnesses Of
the immortality practiced under the
canvas and know from experience
whereof they speak.
These fairs are source Of profit,
convenience and pleasure to the peo-
pie of the whole State. The far
mers from the different sections are
afforded an opportunity of meeting
together and relating their expert
ences in experimental farming, the
different modes Of cultivation and the
results, thus bene6ting each other.
Friend meet friend and enjoy the So
ciety of each other, and we all see
what progress the rest of the State
has made in the industrial and me-
chanical arts and in the science of
agriculture during the year, and by
the improved condition of her people
and the increased value of their
products the State itself will reap a
benefit far surprising the monetary
value of the appropriation she is
asked to make.
We are glad to see that Hon. J.
Walter Mitchell has withdraw his op.
position and now fayors the appro-
priation.
