- STATE FAIR.
GREATEST CROWD IN
MANY YEARS.
The State Nov i

The State fair is indeed the end of
the century show and exposition that
the fair society last year req ueeted
the people Of the State TO make it.
Yesterdays attendance at the fair
easily broke all previous records for
Wednesday Of the fsir week Pres;
dent Evans estimates the great crowd
that was at the fair yesterday al
about l6, 900 people, and this is pro-
baby conservative estimate OF the
number of people in attendance at
the best show in years. The most
remarkable feature Of yesterdays
show was the way in which the
crowd stuck to the fair grounds
When darkness fell there was an or
dinary Wednesday crowd present
The people all seemed to be enjoying
themselves and there was note
worthy freedom from disorder of any
description This was not only true
of the grounds, but of the city
President Evans 10 speaking of the
fair yesterday afternoon said
ii think this Is the biggest We'd
nesday we have ever had The
crowd numbers from 16, 900 to 90 ,00O
people The financial success of
the society for this fair is assured
The good manners, good looks, happy
faces and vast throngs in attendance
are evidences of the fact that the
entire State is in a prosperous condi
ton. The ove!fowipg Of exhibits IN
every department is another evidence
of the fact that the efforts OF the
society in the past to bring about an
Improvement in breeds OF cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep, etc as well as
Improvement in field crops, is
marked success. L. can be vel! said
that the annual fair this year has
grown to almost the proportions of
an exposition
.'It is indeed the beginning OF the
exposition which will be opened up
in Charleston next year, at which it
is expected that the entire south as
well as the entire State Of South
Carolina will take an active interest
The display of horses is unusually
fine Cattle and poultry unsurpassed ;
hogs never better seen at any fair
held anywhere The crowds have
been we'll handled by the railroads ;
no friction anywhere The military
display is very fue, and the soclety

from every part of the State have

The Union Temperance meeting
which was held in the Baptist church
last Sunday night was very satisfac =
tory to the friends OF the cause.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Temperance League,
which was organized last spring
Capt. A j. Tynes, tie chairman,
presided last Sunday night.
Rev. Mr.. Ruff, Prof. Showalter,
Capt. Tynes aud Mr.. Golihew made
interesting talks The music was
furnished by the singers frou the
different churches. and was very
fine. During the meeting, and while
one of the speakers was in the
midst Of his speech the alarm of fire
was given and there was almost a
panic. The large audience arose at
oncs and began a rush for the door.
They were soon Quilted aud the ex-
ercises resumed. The alarm Of fire
was due to the explosion OF lamp
in the undsrtakers department of
Moss ~ Greevers store, where n
casket was being fitted up. The
lamp was thrown out and no damage
done.
