MAKING READY
FOR THE FAIR
important Work Done at a Meeting
Of the Fair Directors Held on
Last Thursday.
RACE PROGRAM is PREPARED
Good Purses Hung Up and Some Of
the Fastest Horses in the State
Are Expected to be Here.

A meeting of the directors and of
icers of the Fergus County Agricul-
tural. Mineral and Stock association
was held in the office Of Secretary
O. w. Belden Thursday afternoon,
and the actual preparations for hold
ing the county fair neat September
were begun. President Frank L.
Wright being absent. Vice President
David Hilger presided. The secretary
was instructed TO appear before the
board of county commissioners n
try to have the assessment of the
fair grounds reduced. The assessor
has placed a value of s25 an acre on
so acres belonging TO the fair asso-
citation and they think that it is an
excessive rate.
A committee composed of Secre-
tary Belden and Messrs. Symmes and
Eldridge was appointed TO superin-
tend the construction of the new
fence, which is to be built around the
grounds. Much of the old material
will be used in the new fence, but
when the enclosure is completed, the
small, quarterless boy will have a
mighty slim chance of getting to see
the races through the %proyerbial
crack. Hilger and Wright compose
the iance committee and will
make n canvass. later in the season,
to ascertain what the business men
are willing to put up for the fair. The
matter of buildings being brought up,
il was decided that the construction
OF a poultry exhibition building and
the removal of some of the stables
will comprise the necessary improve
ments among the buildings on the in
terror of the grounds. Secretary Bel
den announced that he had received
some letters concerning prospective
attractions for the fair. Baldwin, the
a%erunaut. who made some hair-rais-
ing %asccnsions year before last. de-
sires to come again this year. He
was engaged for some "ascenSions last
wear but me- with a severe accident
in Kansas and was unable 10 fill his
engagement here. Nothing was de-
cided upon as Ia the attractions. that
being left to a future meeting, when
the secretary shall have received
more communications from artists
who wish to come here.
Messrs. Symmes. Weaver and Bel.
den were appointed a committee 10
arrange the race program. Some of
the best racing ever seen in Fergus
county is expected this summer, as
the railroad will enable many horse
owners who have hitherto been de-
TERED from bringing their racers by
the long land trip. to come here with
their strings of fast ones.

Professor Meyers made a careful
examination of the cuts and said:

done with a dull knife. | can con.
ceive of no reason why anyone should
want to destroy the bag, and | believe
the work was pure vandalism, with
no other object in view but the ma.

No False Claims,

The p%roprietors of Foley's Honey
and Tar do not advertise this as a
sure cure for consumption" They
do not claim it will cure this dread
complaint in advanced cases, but do
positively assert that it will cure in
the earlier stages and never fails to
give comfort and relief in the worst
cases. FOley's Honey and Tar is
without doubt the greatest throat and

Had Whiskey in Safe.

The Charleston Post says when
Sergt. Healey and his raiding squad
visited Jesse Barber's store on Blake
street Thursday afternoon and asked
for the keys to his iron safe the re-
quest was refused. A locksmith was
engaged, and the safe opened and thir-
teen quarts of whiskey contiscated.
The raiding squad had reason to be-
lieve that whiskey was kept in the
safe. When they searched the pre-
misses they found that the outer door
of the safe was unlocked, but the
inner doors were fastened. The keys
we're demanded, but refused. Sergt.
Healey sent for a locksmith and after
working for some time with number
of keys, one was found which lit the
lock and the door was swung open,
exposing thirteen quarts of booze"

Grant petted him; Garfield petted
=; IN. II, oottoJ J.; ,p5 H1ova

Grant petted him; Garfield petted
him; Harrison petted him; and Cleve-
land-but that's another story.
Poor old Fred! He is dead now,
Pretty much everybody who wants to
kick him can come up and do it. Once
upon a time his voice, along the line
of battle, were worth a Thousand
men," In those days, be was dis
tiuguished colored gentleman and
statesman" How have the mighty
slipped down hill At present, he seems
to be nothing more than "a id mig
GER" who never was invited anywhere
by anybody, whether on their heels or
on their heads, drunk or sober; and if
ever be got into the white house at all
he just ''butted in."
Old Fred will turn over in his
grave when he learns that the great
Democratic president whom he SO
much lauded for his manly defiance Of
malignant prejudice has caught the
damned nigger'' fever, and shows
rising pulse every time we take his
temperature.
1 will make further investigation
about the New York school law; but
If, in the meanwhile, Mr.. Cleveland
has anything to say about appointing
that negro as minister to the white
republic In South America, he might
write Charley Bartlett another head

what Mr.. Cleveland means by stand
ing on his head, but, as the preachers
say. Il must not dwell"
The point is this: Did Feed Doug
lass tell lies on Cleveland in that book?
He had no motive for doing So
He evidently did not intend to do so?
He, negro Republican, was praising
white Democrat for conduct which
the black man considered heroic. He
did not mean to injure Cleveland or to
misrepresent him. He was eulogizing
that gentleman; he was Showering
praise upon him; he was throwing bou-
quets at him; he was singling him out
as the brave, manly Democrat who
defined the Southern race prejudice,
and who gave TO him, the negro, the
same treatment which was accorded
him in Europe where color does not
decide the social position of a man"
For nine years this book has been
in circulation. For nine years Cleve-
land has been enjoying the credit for
all the good things his negro admirer
said of him. Doubtless there are thou
sands of people who have thrilled with
admiration as they read Of the manner
in which MIR. Cleveland detied the ma
lignant race prejudice of the South,
wrote invitations with his own hand
| to "Mr. and Mrs. Douglass" accorded
them the treatment due in ones house
to all ladies and gentlemen, and bold
ly conformed to that European stand
ard which disregards color In fixing
social status.
And now after nine years-after
Douglass has died, and after the
Southern negro has been disfranchis-
ed, cometh the said Grover Cleveland
and declares that he Is not the hero
Fred Douglass said be was.
Is there any sence in splitting hairs
about wedding receptions, and other
social receptions, or other soclal-equal-
ity practices? None whatever. The
question at issue is: Did Mr. Cleveland
invite and receive Douglass and wife
upon terms of social equality? That
is the pith and marrow Of the dispute.
! If it be true, as Douglass says, that
Mr.. Cleveland often wrote the invi ia
tions with his own hand, and that he
treated the negro and wife at all the
white house receptions as social
equals, defying the predjudice and the
criticism OF the Southern accuracy of
my statement stands proved without
reference to any particular reception.
II Mr.. Cleveland will condescend to
read pages GAG, 647 and 64S OF the
; bouk referred to, and will then specify
to what extent the author lied, he
will clear up the atmosphere consider
ably.
Poor old Fred! What lesson is
here, my brethren. In his day and
time, Fred Douglass was power in
, the land. White politicians courved
his support. The highest leaders in
the land made much Of him. President

THE SUMNER SCHOOL.
Active Preparations are Being Made
for Its Opening.

for Its Opening.
State Superintendent of Education
Martin is busy just now In preparing
for the state summer school, which
convenes in Rock Hill o. June 29th.
The following letter was sent out
Tuesday:
To Superintendents and Teachers:
We are preparing for much larger
state summer school than we had last
year. TO start with, the legislature
made a special appropriation for this
purpose and we are organizing an
unusually strong faculty. We are
preparing courses in the following sub.
jects: Educational psychology and
child study, history and ciVics, city
and country school problems, nature
study and bird life, geography and
geography making, grammar, ntera-
ture and library work, sight singing,
domestic science, drawing, arithmetic,
algebra and geometry, manual train
ing, nature study and botany, express
sion, kindergarten work, primary and
intermediate methods, lectures on
other school subjects Of general inter-
est.
More than .fourths Of the In
structors have already accepted and
lust as soon as all the acceptanceS
are received the names Of the faculty
will be announced. 1t Is necessary
ouly to say that the faculty will be an
unusually strong one, and, in addi-
tio,l, there will be a series OF instruc-
tive and entertaining lectures which
will be delivered to the whole school.
Winthrop college offers most excel
lent advantages for summer school.
A low rate for board will be secured
and President Johnson and his stall
will do everything possible for the
comfort and convenience Of those IN
attendance. .
The State Teachers association will
hold it's annual meeting at Winthrop
during the Summer school. The dates
and program will soon be announced
by President Edmunds Of Sumter.
1 have applied for low rates on the
railroads and think we shall get rate
of one fare for the round trip. hope
you will extend this notice and use
your influence to secure large at
tendance at the State Summer school
and also at the State Teachers asso-
citation, as both Of these meetings
contribute largely to the advance
ment of the educational interests of
the State.
Sincerely yours,
o. B. Martin,
State Superintendent Education.

It's pretty hard to attend to duties

With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan'S Kidney Pills make work

They cure backache

troubled me for number of years.
A dull heavy pain existed in the small
of my back, taking all ambition out OF
me and preventing me from getting
any rest or sleep at night. At times
it was so severe as to make me lay OIL
from work for days at time, which
means dollars and cents. l consulted

Ough examination that had diabetes.

Doan'S Kidney Pills and | procured d
box at the j. e. Wannamaker Mfg. 90.
| did not expect them to do me any
more good than any other remedies |

own feelings when my back stopped
aching. In 4 short time the kidney
secretions became normal and regular;
