The fair was not a success last
year. In 1900 it was great success
financially and otherwise A. fair
may be a financial success without
being satisfactory in other ways. In
1900 there we're 10000 visitors ia
Columbia. Last year the attendance
was very much less But on account
Of the hard times, and on account of
the approaching exposition in Char
leston, there WAS not much money
spent in trying to have the fair big
success. Tie purses for the races
we're unusually heavy and cost the as
sociation all Of the proceeds from the
other departments. The legislature
has supplied this need, and has
placed $4,000 at the disposal of the
association. This is regarded as a
loan and will be refunded.
In speaking of the prospects Of
the fair, Col Holloway said yesterday
that they propose to have a good
show aud will have the people here
if Columbia will do her part and
take genuine interest in the fair.

CAROLINA ERIFFS HONORINa THE
STATE.
Sheriff Douglass OF Chesterfleld Does Ills
Duty Braveiy- And Mob, AS Usual
Sinks Away.
Special to The State. I

Cberaw, March 31.-We had what
is thought to be the nearest approach
to ly nching last night at Chester
field O. Fl. that has ever occurred in
the county. The negro, Will Brewer,
who killed Mr. Mann at Hornsboro
in January, and who has been at
large since, was captured by Sheriff
Douglass last Saturday at Nashville,
Ga, and brought back to our coun-
ty for trial. Last night Sheriff
Douglass got wind of report that a
posse of mon from the upper part of
tho county were going to take Brewer
out of Jail. He placed SIX men in
Jail and waited 10 sue if there WAS
any truth in the report. About 10
o'clock 90 or 70 men, some of them
masked, arrived at the court house.
Several representatives went to the
Jail door and demanded the KEYS.
Sheriff Douglass met them and re-
fused to deliver them. He ordered
the men to leave at once or he would
have to kill them. They withdrew
from the door, but quite number
came into the jail yard. The sheriff
then raised window and ordered
them to leave or he would have to
fire on them. After consultation
they withdrew and the affair ended
without bloodshed. The mon we're
orderly and quiet, but seemed deter
mined.

Mother,

LSouthern Farm Magazine for April.
The secret of the sweetness and
light Of the American home has been
respect and reverence for parents.
especially for the mother. These
were responsible for the conserva-
tism of the South, which still per-
sists and which makes much toward
the pure Americanism of that Sec
ton. For reverence for the mother
naturally develops, through her, into
reverence for wife and sister and for
all women, not the gallantry shown
in dress parade preening and plum
ing, but the consistent conduct in
public and in private deeply rooted
in the conviction that the mother ls
the real, dominant power for good
in society, and, therefore, worthy,
with all her fellows, of the most pro.
found homage. She represents in
the highest degree the source of pa,
rental authority.

Washington, April 1.-Notwith-

there is disposition among Repub-

fore the house committee on rules
providing for the appointment of Il
special committee to consider the

When the rules committee an

agreed upon it was stated that the
measure would be reported within
10 days thereafter. The 10 days
have expired and no resolution has
yet come from the committee.
1t was reported day or two ago
that as soon "a Representative Chas.
II. drosvenor, of Ohio, who was then
IN hlo homo State, returned to Wash

up. Gen. Grosvenor, who IL now in
ashington, is one of the most en-
thusiastic supporters of tho proposed
investigation among the Republicans,
but when questioned he was unable
to make any prediction as to when
the matter is to be considered.

The prisoner was sentenced to be
hanged on Friday, April 25, and
when his doom was spoken he sank

wholly of intelligent white men and
the entire conduct of the case was
admirable. Judge Purdy requested
that the audience maintain its good
behavior and make no demonstration
when the verdict was announced,
but had to suppress rising demon
stration just prior to adjournment.
He also firmly commended the men
of the county for their fine tribute to
the power of the law. Many OK

Columbia Record, March 31st. I

Columbia Record, March 31st.7
Last week the governor refused to
issue requisltion on the governor
of Kentucky for tho return to this
State Of Il white man named Ashley,
who WAS wanted in Barnwell on the
charge of breaking into the dspen-
sary at that place. The man was
morphine tiond, and all the indicu-
tons were that he WAS making an
effort to reform and WIS succeeding
splondidly. Owing to this fact and
his previous good behavior, tho gov
ernor concluded that il was best TO
pardon him the olfenso and allow him
Il chance to mako Il man Of himsalf.
Sheriff Crcech, Of Bnrnwoll, wrote
to the governor today, fully cndors.
ing his action in refusing to issue a
requisition on the charge, but stat
ing that ho had another warrent for
Ashley for horse stealing. Not
withstanding this, the governor has
decided not to make rcqni5ition, be.
cause, in the first place, the stolen
horse was returned TO tho owner, and,
second, because of Il letter he had
received from Rcv. William NJ. Bruce,
of the rescue mission OF Louisvillo,
Ky. This gentleman has had Ash
Icy under his care, and hestntes that
he IL just about to get ont OF the hos
pital. where he has been for two
months; that he is changed man
and realizes tho distress that he has
brought upon his wife and family,
and is desirons Of again making him
self useful to them. Mr.. Bruce asks
that the governor withdraw the war
rant, for he believes that to bring
Ashley back now would not be to his
good. Mr.. Bruce also promises to
secure him position.
In view Of tho fact that nothing
has been lost through the morphine
actions Of Ashley, and ia tho hope
that he may be reclaimed entirely,
the governor will not have him
brought back, but will give him a
chance to be man.

risk of securing his furlough after he
wassafe at home.
He is especially friend to the
young men of the district, he having
secured employment for a larger
number of young mon than any man
in this district, barring, of course,
members of congress. This is a fact
not generally known but one that
can easily be verified by search Of
the record. This is q splendid trib-
utet to his popularity and influence
and is mentioned merely to show the
influence he would weld in our ma
tional-law making body. He is pub
lie spirited and looks with Jealous
pride upon the advancement of his
native country. In his own town he
is regarded as safe, conservative
counsellor in the matter of internal
improvements and it is by his efforts
that the cotton mill, water works
and telephone system Of his town
were established npon a paying aud
satisfactory basis. He is recognized
as a prudent tinancier and rs close
student of all economics. Ho is we'll
versed in the great public questions
from a statistical and logical point of
view and with his quick mind and
ready tongue, with his knowledge of
Legislative procedure and congress

sociation with the people of his dis
trict for the past eighteen years and

SPECIAL TERMS OF COURT.
No Less Than Seven Have Now Becn Or
dered-Newberry's Request withdrawn.

Columbia, March 25 The Gus
tom of calling special and extra terms
of court is growing. The complaint
is made that the dockets in the va
rlous counties are getting SO badly
crowded that something has to be
done to relieve the congestion. The
special terms of court offer excellent
opportunities for the various counties
to get rid of The alleged piling up of
litigation, and the only trouble is
that too often the lawyers report that
they are not ready to have their
causes tried, and in that way, while
the dockets look badly crowded, the
lawyers allow nothing to be done,
and it only romans for the Judges
to insist upon trials or dismissals.
The following special terms Of
court have been ordered within the
last few week:
General Sessions for Union coun-
ty, j. II. Hudson, special Judge,
March 81, for ten days.
Common Pleas for Barnwcll, w.
G. Benet, special Judge, April %, for
three weeks.
General Sessions for Florence, r..
o. Purdy, special Judge, March 81.
General Sessions for Laurens
county, r.. o. Purdy, special judge,
second Monday in April for ten days.
General Sessions for Greenville
county, Jas. p. Carey, special Judge,
April ii, for two weeks.
Common Pleas for Newberry coun-
ty, w. f. Stevenson, special Judge,
April II, for ten days.
Common Ploas for Kershaw coun.
ty, special judge to be named, first
Monday in July for ton days.
This provides for seven extra
terms of the court, which the local
bars have deemed necessary and OK
pedient.
The general assembly has never
made any special appropriation for
the pay Of the judges who hold these
special terms of court, and they have
always been regularly paid out Of The
contingent fund. 1t will be seen
that the special courts that have al
ready boen ordered call for seventy
nine days, and one term is left open
as to tho number of days The
special judges are paid little enough,
$40 day, and 80 the special terms
OF court already ordered will cost at
about 81 900 Of the governors con-
tingent fund and the prospect now
is that other special terms Of count
will be asked for.
There can bo no question that these
special terms of court give the coun-
ties the chance to relieve the conges
ton Of litigation, but at the same
time are Of but little use if the Judges
are constantly asked to continue
cases, even after special terms of
court are ordered to dispose of them.

STATE
GUARD
IN CAMP
Albany Preparing TO LOyally
Entertain Militia Boys

In treating of the annual encamp
ment of the State Guard to be held al
Albany July 1927, the Democrat
says:
The annual encampment of the sol
diers of the Oregon National Guard,
which will be held this year Gt Albany,
will be a bigger thing than many ina.
gine. 14OO officers and men will be
in camp eight days from July II TO
2S. The encampment will be held in
Hacklemans grove adjoining the city.
where excellent grounds will be
afforded.
"The attendance will represent mil
itiamen from all parts Of the state,
besides many visitors. Il is estimated
that the expenditures by the state
alone on account of the encampment
will be $4,000 so 1t will be seen that
it will be a greater affair financially,
as we'll as numerically than several
Fourth of July celebrations.
Arrangements should and will be
made TO entertain the visitors Loyalty,
so the soldiers will feel glad that they
came to Albany and the reputation Of
this city for hospitality and courteousl
will be maintained. To this
end II will be necessary 10 provide
the grounds with lights, stables for
the 100 or more horses OF the regi-
ment, and to provide proper entertain
ment. Something in the nature OF a
reception is being planned by the Alec
club. Some money will be required 10
carry out these things, and II will be
well TO consider the matter and be
ready TO meet the finance committee
IN a liberal spirit TO the end that Al
lany may entertain the boys in blue
and the large number Of visitors in
manner becoming an enterprising
,ity"
