THE ANDERSON COUNTY FAIR.

The Anderson County Fair is to be
held at the city of Anderson, October 4th,
5th and 9th, and rate of one fare for
the round trip, plus rs cents, has been
granted by the railroads from all points
in South Carolina. The promoters of
this enterprise are live, energetic bust
ness men, and they propose to make it a
great success. Exhibit of live stock will
be a prominent feature of the fair, and
there will be horses, cattle, hogs and the
best of everything the State affords. The
Piedmont section in particular is ex-
pected to show up in great shape.
Oconeo should be there. If you have
good stock worth showing-put it on exhi-
btion--and Anderson is good place to
show what you have.
Time was when OcCuee held splendid
fairs and annually exhibited a fine lot of
live stock and farm products. 1t ought
to be done again. Thore is nothing like
showing what you've got. Go to Ander-
son, take in her fair, and come home de-
termined that there shall be q fair in
Oconee next year There's no place like
Oconee, you know.

Lyuched for Attempted Assault.

Greenwood, September PA young
negro boy named Babe Brown, was
lynched by the citizens of Laurens county
last night for attempted criminal assault
on the 14-year-old daughter of Doc
Hughes, farmer of Waterloo township
The girl and her sister were alone in
the yard and the negro assaulted the
younger one. The older girl came to the
aid of her sister and the negro released
the younger, telling both he would kill
them if they ever told. He then went
back to his work picking cotton in a
nearby field.
The girls told their father when he
came home. The news spread to the
neighborhood. The negro was taken
from the field. Some wanted him car.
ried to the Laurens Jail, but others in.
sisted on lynching.
The lynching sentiment prevailed and
about midnight the negro was carried
across the Saluda river into Greenwood
county and hanged. He was shot down
afterwards.
The first news was brought to Green.
wood by man who passed the body
lying in the road. The coroner is hold.
ing an inquest this afternoon.

BE READY TO VOTE.

Next Monday, October 3, is the last
day on which registration certificates
can be issued for the general election in
November. II is important that every
citizen entitled - the privileges of suf-
frage should be prepared to cast his bal
lot Tho indifference of the people of
the whole State to this matter is
to be regretted. At the last general
election there were about 10000 less
votes cast than in the primaries pre-.
coding, and in the recent election the
first primary brought OUT between 1000
and 10000 moro voters than the second.
See that you have your registration cer-
tificates for the general election. If you
have not got one, take advantage of the
opportunity next Monday to secure your
certificate. There is more activity in the
Republican camp in this State than is
generally suspected, and it is the duty of
every Democrat to be prepared to vote
and not only to be prepared to do so, but
to GO TO THE POLES AND CAST HIS
BALLOT. Remember this and be ready

Items from Tugaloo.

Tugaloo, September 26.-We have had
suitable weather for the saving of rough.
ness and we are pleased to know that
there is much more being saved than
usual.
Rev. Mcdaniel filed his appointments
Saturday and yesterday at South Union.
His sermon on Sunday morning was
an excellent one. His theme was "the
duty Of mothers to their children"
The house was full and the singing was
unusually good, with the accomplished
Miss Bessie Crawford, of Newry, at the
organ. In conference last Saturday the
South Union church extended an inde6-
mite call to Rev. Mcdaniel. The call was
unanimous.
Our genial young friend, Henry L..
Werner, of Retreat, worshipped at South
Union yesterday.

the negro race recognize that It must be
so. The 1s olish acts of Preaident Roose-
velt In dini q and meeting on basis of
social equality members of the colorsd
race have borne evil fruit that will be APP
parent for years to come. Those who
have accepted his hospitality think less
Of him and count him but their equal
the rank and file of the coloced race
have had false hope raised as to their
future, and false and dangerous idea
has been given them as to their proper
position in social and governmental af-
fairs. President ROOSEVELT has, AS Mr..
Paine observes. displayed qualities that
we have not seen in President of the
United States for many years." and it is
to be hoped that it will be many years
before there is such another as he to
occupy the Presidents chair.
The spirit of race hatred is infinitely
greater to-day than before the assump-
tion of the role of President by Mr..
Roosevelt, and he is personally RESPONSE
bio in great measure for it. His grand
stand play for the solid support of the
nsgro--"the Booker Washington Incl
dent'-has had baneful effect upon the
illfterate, unthinking negroes of this
country-and the gravity of this situa-
tion can be better appreciated when the
fact is taken into consideration that over
90,per cent of the colored population be-
longs to the illiterate and unthinking
class.
Mr.. Roosevelt's policy is one thai is
fraught with untold danger, not alone
for the South, but for the whole country.
1t is, fortunate indeed that those in his
way of thinking are growing fewer
every year. The sure remedy for all
such is a personal observation of the
race situation at close range. 1t is quito
a different thing when viewed from a
distance through telescope with false
philanthropic and social equality lenses.

A QUEER PROCESS OF REASONING.

Political reasoning is thing that can
seldom be accounted for, and the various
and devious turns and twists political
reasoners take are at times amusing. We
clip the following from recent issue of
the Milwaukee Sentinel, the article ap-
pearing as an Associated Press dispatch
from Boston:
Robert Treat Paine, Jr., Democratic
candidate for Governor in 1899 and 1900,
has declared his intention to vote for
Roosevelt. he gives as his reason the
attitude of the Democratic party, by
which he supposes Judge Parker will be
guided, if he were elected, on the negro
question.
| do not want to see a Vardaman, a
Tillman, or an Ex-Governor Brown, of
Maryland, in the White House, he said,
nor man of whom it may be suspected
that he would treat negro in the White
House as such men would treat the black
man.
l think Roosevelt has been a godsend
to this country, for he has displayed
qualities that we have not seen in a
President of the United States for many
years. Eight years ago the country was
torn by conflict between classes, and
Roosevelt has done more and, | believe,
will continue to do more to dissipate the
spirit of class hatred, which is about the
worst thing that could befall the country,
than any man know of.
We cannot hope for perfection, but we
can strive to attain 1t as closely as posi-
bic and am convinced that Roosevelt
means to do the right thing, and does it
TO the best of his ability, and that is the
sort of President / want and the sort of
President / believe the people of this
country want

aEv. .wM. AlkEa kElLsY MISSING.
No Disappears hsasrousIy iron His Nome n
augusta Fears Tor Ms Safety.

Il +.
| The Augusta Chronicle of last Friday
contained the following account of the
disappearance of Rev. w. A. Kelley,
we'll known over the upper part of this
State, whore the information will be re-
ceived with genuine regret:
/ "Rev. William Aiken Kelley, pastor OF
the North augusta Methodist church,
who mysteriously disappeared last Fri
day, and who is supposed to be iaboring
Under mental ALTERATION, is still miss-
ing, and the gravest fears as to his safety
are entertained by his friends in this
city.
'The disappearance of Mr.. Kelley has
been kept as quiet as possible, the daily
papers being appealed to not to tell the
story, in the hope that he could be found
and restored to his ia lnily. The Augusta
police were appealed to several days ago.
aud kilograms have been sent to all of
Mr.. Kelley's previous charges and to his
friends throughout South Carolina, ex-
planning his disappearance and asking
for aid in locating him. Members of the
North Augusta church have also been
active in trying to locate their unfcrtu-
nate pastor. q
"Despite these efforts pot one word h as
been heard from the missing man aud
there is no clue as to his whereabouts. 1t
Is now feared that he may have met his
death by accident, exposure, suicide or
foul play. In the terrible uncertainty al
most every conceivable hypothesis has
been suggested to explain the silence
surrounding the disappearance. His inn.
mediate family are re>prostrated with grief.
1T is known that just prior to his dis
appearance Mr.. Kelley was mentally dis
turbed over the financial condition of the
church. Recently new house was built
by the congregation. A debt still hangs
over the church, owing to these improve
ments. The fact that it is due and there
is little in the treasury with which to
meet it seems to have preyed on Mr.. Kel-
ley's mind. He was wrapped up in the
new church. 1t was through his untir-
ing efforts that the edifice was built and
night and day he has been working to
clear it of debt. Several of his friends
realized several days before his disap-
pearance that he was burdened mentally
over the situation and in a respondent
mood, but did not for moment realize
that it was serious.
"From what could be learned Mr.. Kel-
ley has suffered from these alterations
on two other occasions in mis- life, disap-
pearing mysteriously. But on these oc-
casiops he always reappeared within a
few days. While the family was greatly
concerned when he did not show up last
Saturday the belief was general that he
would return home before the close of
Sunday. Failing to return or notify his
family Of his whereabout from day to
day apprehension is now general.
DIR. Clifton, of, Orangeburg, the father
of Mrs. Kelley, has arrived in the city.
Mrs. Kelley is prostrated with grief.
She will leave for her fathers home to-
day. In the meantime every means Of
locating Mr.. Kelley are being usedn
