The State Fsir Booming.

The State fair OF 1897 is rapidly ap-
preaching and on all sides preparations
are oeing made far in advance OF the
usual period, and every indication
points TO the mos! successful fair ever
hrld in the State. The exhibitions are
g ing to be large and varied. Glenn
son college will have working dairy
on the fair grounds during the fair
managed by Prof. j. W. Hart. An
exhibition in the arena IN milking oy
students OF the college would draw
well, showing the young misses that
wbea one OF these boys IS secured as
partner for life a mixer also would be
obtained. The agric llturl exhibit
will be under the supervision of Prot.
]. S. Newman, and the mechanical
will be controlled BY Prof. Worthing-
ton. From the interest manifested by
the college professors, and members
OF the board as well, it can be COL t
deutly expec ected that the exhibits vi l
exceed by far any hitherto seen on the
grounds. Secretary Holloway writes
that Mr.. Geo. F. Weston, manager Of
the Vanderbilt farms st Biltmore, \
c., expects to bring dom fine lot of
Jersey cattle for exhibition on y, and
subsequently offer them in the annual
sale OF stock. This, Col. Holloway
says. will ford a fine opportunity to
purchase Jerseys OF fancy strains
Mr.. Weston will also bring few
choicely bred Berkshire boars.

The Tragedy at Sor,h,s.

As was published last week Dr.. B.
H. koo,ts, of North, shot Mr.. J. R.
Leysath, of the same place, on Tues.
day morning, the 2Sth of Septem be-.
s card in the Columoia State, signed
Citizens OF North" fatty contradicts
the first published account OF the un:
fortunate affair, which made Mr. Ley
saith the aggressor, and gives the fol-
lowing as the facts in the case, which
the "Citizens of North" say can and
will be proved: MIR. J. R Leysath
held a lien on Dr. Knots crop and
the latter was attempting to Ike
away with said crop without apply ing
the proceeds to lien. Mr.. Leysath,
hearing of same, approached DR.:
Knots here in town, kindly called
him aside ard asked him if he did not
intend to pay his lien. D.. Knots
said he did not intend to pay it, that
he could not see his family suffer and
must look out for them. Mr.. L2ysath
replied, Since you propose looking
out for your family I will have TO
lock out for mine" and turned 10
walk away, whereupon Dr.. knotts
drew q revolver and fred. Mr. L'y-
saith fell to the ground and Dr.. Knots
kept ing. drawing second revo.v-
er. Mr.. Leysath was unarued and
was never known 10 carry revolver
nor to resent an insult. Dr. Knots is
considered good, quiet citizen. The
shooting has cas-! a gloom over the
entire community.

Fabulous stories are baing published
about SO called African variety OF
cotton owned by a Mr.. T. \. Jack
son, of Atlanta, Ga. a few weeks
aeo we published a long article about
this cotton and some weeks later pub
lishsd a letter from the Secretary Of
Agriculture, of Georgia, who had test
ed the cotton, saying the cotton was
nothing extra and advised farmers
no. be 10 humbus ged into paying fancy
prices for it. TINS cotton is again be-
ing doomed in the newspapers and We
would sdvise our farmers to let 1t
alone. It is no better than sny coed
variety Of cotton and not as good as
some. It is claimed by those who are
trying to sell the sesd that The stalks
are from eight to Ten feet, and the
WELD is from two to four bales per
acre that It is limbles and the bolis
grow close to the stalk from the ground
TO The top, and a hundred and one
other great things. The seed are solo
at one cent piece to any who vii
bite q: the bait. Again we advise our
farmers to let Mr.. jackson and his SO
called African cotton severely alone.

said:
Tho Republican party since it's foundation
has always stood for the veal Of the people. Re-
publican legislation has boon first for the right;
then for prosperity. When the issue was b.
tween right and wrong in the civil war
the Republicans stood for right. When
it was between prosperity and ruin last year the
man ought to vote the Republican ticket. Gen.
Tracy said In his speech on Saturday night that
he Is non. partisan to the extent OF believing
that honesty is the first requirement in tho
is the great consideration, but after that he is q
partisan Republican. Applause.
There are but two parties this xear-the
patriots and the traitors. The Republicans un.
the patriots. People who are trying to divide
tho Republican party, or who are trying TO mis-
lead the labortnR classes with false doctrines. or
who are enrolled under Tammany's banner Of

gho IL Struggled Out Of Town to Prevent Pos
sibslity or Her Rxtradition.
Miss Evangelina Cosio y Cisneros. the girl Of
IL years who escaped from a Spanish prison in
Havana. arrived yesterday In this city.
A demonstration to welcome Miss Cisneros
was planned by the Cubans, and for that pur-
pose the most prominent members OF tho Cuban
colony were asked to meet In tho evening In the
office OF the Junta, SO Now street. About 5 p.
NJ. all the persons invited to the demonstration
received word that for some reason it was put
Off until further notice.
1t was learned afterward that the Cuban Con.
sui, Horatio g. Rnbens, had a conference with
come persons interested in Miss Cisneros's fatn
on account OF ruInors that either Spain would
ask from this Government the extradition Of
Miss ClsnerOs. or that the Spanish Government
had already asked for II. 1t was thought pru.
dent to conceal Miss Cisneros In some safe place
until her rights should be decided.
The offence for which Miss Cisneros WAS
awaiting trial in Havana. according to Weyler
and the Spanish. renders her liable TO extradi.
kidnap the Governor of tho Island OF Pines
Senior BerrZ, and inspired the Cubans there for
that purpose,
The truth Ia. tho Cubans say. that she only
defended her honor against Berriz, who IL n
favorite of Weyler. Even IL she had helped
Cuban revolutionists to seize u Spanish Cover
nor In time Of war, her offence is a political one,
and consequently not extraditablc. But the
friends of Miss Cisneros do not want to take any
chances. So Miss Cisncros was smuRRlod OUT
OF town by them yesterday.

1t is a fact which admits of no argument that a school teachers task
is a severe one indeed, and 1t requires a perfect system and steady
nerves to be able to conduct a classroom in a proper manner. That
Ripans Tabules help to keep the system in perfect order and strengthen
the nerves is testified to by a prominent school teacher in Philadelphia,
who says: 81 have been teaching the Ninth Grade in the George M.
Wharton School for the past eight years, and it is a hard matter to
comprehend what a task l have every season when l get in a new set
of pupils from the lower sections. You see it requires great patience
and assduiy to discipline and educate boys, and the task is a very
arduous one. Especially is this the case during the examinations, when
the work is very exacting and the drain on the system extensive. From
leaning over my books and marking up papers for five or six hours at
a time | get a headache and my entire system gets shattered, but a
Ripans Tabule always straightens me up, and next morning l am ready
for the task over again, feeling as fresh as ever from the effects of the
magic Tabule taken on the previous night. 1t is certainly a wonderful
remedy for nervousness and invigorating a wasted system, and in this
1 voice the sentiments of all the teachers in my section, every one of
whom has used them with equality beneficial results"
