To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Our County Fair has been sue
cess in many respects. It has more
firmly than ever convinced me that
Lexington county can produce all
the absolute necessities and many Of
the luxuries of life. If we have
properly learned the lessons, and will
profit by them, we need not much
longer be blue and gloomy at the
price of cotton. am proud of Lex
ington county.
The four-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. ". Fuller, died Of dipththe-

The November sun she'd its soft
ened and mellowcd light like a bene-
diction upon happy scene at An
t;och Baptist church Sunday after
noon when the pastor of the church,
Rev. II. \. Hemrick, united in mar
riage Mr.. VIM. J. Jefcoat, of Orange
burg county, aud Miss Francis Mack,
of Lexington.
At the appointed hour quite a
number of relatives and friends had
assembled at the church to witness
the impressive and solemn ceremony.
The solemn words were soon
spoken which made the twain one
until death shall separate and they
went their way rejoicing to I've hal
PLY together as long as life shall be,
in their new home in Orangeburg
county. May the blessings Of peace
and prosperity ever be with and at
tend them.
It is understood here today that
c. H. Corbitt, Republican, ard who
had for six years prior to 1897, held
the post Office at Swansea, has been
re appointed postmaster by the Nc
Kinley administration in the place
of VIM. johnson, who is an old dis
abled soldier and a life long, consist
ent Democrat.
Mr.. Corbitt is a young man fully
capable Of performing manual labor,
but, being a Republican and backed
by few political healers, he is again
given this minor position over an old
war veteran who is incapable Of
earning his subsistence by the ''sweat
Of bis brow" I think the press of
the State should condemn this sort
thing, let it amount to what it may.

THE STATE FAIR.

The attendance this year upon the
State Fair was by long odds the
largest in the history Of the society.
Notwithstanding the wide spread
gloom and depression caused by the
low price Of cotton the people seemed
determined to lay business cares
aside for the nonce. and give them
selves up to the full enjoyment OF
the festivities of the occasion. Peo
pie from nearly every nook and
corner in the State were present on
the grounds.
The exhibits also surpassed those
of any previous year and were the
a. m ration of all who saw them.
One pleasing feature about this fair
was the noticeable absence of drunk
enness and we trust that this absence
will be noticed more and more at
each succeeding fair.
As is usual Lexington county was

Webster, the Black and Tan Re-
publican boss, is making the Fede-
raj Office holders tremble in their
boots. He has the ear of the Ad-
ministration and his policy, as out
lined for him by the newspapers, is
to turn out Cleveland's appointees
and fill their places with Africo-
American citizens. As between the
two classes it is hard to express a
preference.

pleasure to state that / have examined
the originals of the letters printed, as
we'll as many more from other Sen
ators; also, the envelopes and post
marks, and that there is no possible
doubt of their genuineness.
S. T.. BISHOP.
Honolulu, February 1, 1897.
Take it all in all there was really
no cause for alarm on the part of any
one. That the letters are genuine there
can be no question and if the Adver-
tiser had been allowed to publish the
names of the writer's there would not
have been a suspicion that they were
not all right.
Some day, perhaps, the letters may
be published verbatim in pamphlet
form. then the public will learn by
comparison how much of the published
article was true. There was no rea-
son why they should have been de-
MED publicity yesterday, for as a rule,
Senators do not write strictly con-
fidentap' letters to utter strangers.
