The first notable realigument Of the
Mckinley Democrats IN eight years VIII
be brought about in Maine this year
through the quiet work Of william f.
Sheehan, chairman OF the Democratic
national Executive Committee, who has
been spending some time there for
recreation" of and on.
What Sheehan did was 10 take the
State leaders OF into dense pine for
est and disclose 20 them his grand pet
scheme. II was. in chief, 10 get busy al
once in hunting Up ali the Democrats
who stayed away from tho party and
went over 70 Mckinley in 1896 and 1900
These men were invited 10 the public
meetings especially. and between times
missionaries visited them. They were
told that Candidate Parker was for the
gold standard, and there was little dff-
ference IN the platforms Of the two par
ties. As a result OF this work hundreds
OF Democrats have promised Go support
the State and national tickets, and their
votes viii be lost to the Republicans.

White Man Treated by Indian.

Charles Miller, clerk in the land
office who has been afflicted for a
number of months with rheumatism,
has adopted the usual method OF
taking treatment from Indian
medicine man. Recently Simon Billy
(Foloba), of Eufaula, began treat
ment which Mr.. Miller declares is
curing him.
Billy is a full blood Greek. He is
about fifty years of age, I'D has been
a medicine man since his ouyhood. In
his treatment of Miller he uses medi-
cine made from herbs stepped in an
earthen pot over which incantations
are said and mystic songs are sung
while the preparation is being made
His manner OF administering the
medicine is also of an unreal nature
This is believed to be the only IN
stance in recent years wherein a
white man has had sufficient conf
dence in the Indian medicine man
to employ his services.-Kansas

American BARRIERS in London.

London Iattler.
In an east end police court the
other day curious case of assault
was heard. \ youngster, it appears,
was sent by his father to have his
hair cut. The barber, according to
the father, ran pair of clippers all
over the boys head except in front,
where he left an enormous fringe;
to make his displeasure the father
gave the barber a sound thrashing.
1t is, however,not only IN the East
End that BARRIERS show a great ig-
norance Of their trade. In New York
vr Paris it is the easiest thing cut
possible for a man to have it is
hardly too much to say that there
are only half a dozen places where
a barber knows his business. The
average barber has only one method
of cutting hair, which he invariably
carries out, irrespective altogether OF
the wishes of his customers.
I believe that if an American hair
dresser were to open dozen shops
in different parts of London, he
would rapidly make his fortune. pro-
vided, OF course. he employed the
right sort OF men to cut his custo.
mers' hair.-London Tattler.

KEEPING PACE WITH DEMANDS.
This VIII Be Truly a Greater State
Fah-It Begins on October 25th-
Ample Arrangements.

The State Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society purchased one hundred
acres Of level land in the southern
part Of Columbia last spring on which
to hold its annual South Carolina State
Fairs. This change was made neces-
sary because the old grounds were too
small to accommodate the large num-
Der Of exhibitors and visitors who an
nually attended the great fairs, and
the buildings were no longer sritaoie
for the purposes for which they were
built. On the new grounds there is
room for everything and for every
body, and they are more conveniently
situated to the transportation lines
than the old grounds were. The dis
tance is less than half mile from the
new union oepot, and the grounds are
reached by several fine roads and by
the street car lines and no trouble will
be experienced in handling the large
crowds that are sure to visit Colun1 oia.
Visitors will find everything brand new
this year. The buildings are all modern
in construction, large, airy, and COM
Portable, all one story, with numerous
exits and wide aiSles. One building is
devoted entirely to the handiwork Of
women, and is set apart from the other
buildings so that the fair sex may en-
joy themselves without interruption.
Another building is devoted to the agri-
cultural exhibits and implements, and
another to the commercial exhibits.
Then, the poultry building occupies d
very prominent location and is very
large and roomy. The live stock barns
are so arranged that all visitors can
safely and conveniently pass throu"h
all Of them and see Gll the stock at a.Iy
time, and the management specially
requests that visitors avail themselves
Of this opportunity.
The regulation mile race track Is To-
Gated in the southern part Of the
grounds, and is a beauty. The races
may be viewed from the Fair grounds
if it be preferred to do so, but a large,
comfortable grand stand is located at
the finish of the home stretch, where
the races can be viewed to much better
advantage and with more comfort. The
quarter stretch is not separated from
the grand stand. as was the case or.
the old track, but all are combined
under one inclosure. thus increasing
the social part Of the meet.
The Midway or Pike is located near
the main entrances. and will be filled
with all the modern shows and attrac-
tions with wares from very part OF
the world. and with people from every
part Of the world. The athletic
grounds are located just opposite the
Midway, on the other side of the
entrance. Here will be played two
excellent games Of football during
Fair week.
The railroads have offered very
cheap rates on account Of the first
Greater State Fair, and they will run
most convenient schedules from all
sections of the State. In view Of all
the attractions that have been ar
ranged for, there is no risk in saying
that the large crowd Of last year will
be doubled this fall, and that this
great gathering will be more easily ac-
commodated than in any former year.
Every one ought to attend the only
big fair and social event in the State.

Population Of Mississippi

Some interesting figures on the
population of the state Of Missls-
sippi are given by the last bulletin
issued by the department OF Com
MERGE and Labor, at Washington.
The entire population OF the state
according to the census Of 1890,
Was, that year, 1,551,27O. This
included every body, whites, Ne
groes, and indians, living in the
state. The sexes were divided as
follows, males 7Sl,451 and 769, 8l9
females. This shows four Per
cent more males than females.
These figures show that the sexes
are nearly evenly divided, with one
mate for each man and a little
fraction to be divided amongst
the old bachelors, who ought not
TO be classed as men.
The table shows that the most
densely settled parts of the state
are the regions around Matches,
Vicksburg, Jackson, Columbus,
West Point and Aberdeen. these
are districts in which negroes lar
ely predominate in numbers. The
population of all the cities of over
$500 inhabitants, in the state, Id
120 035. Adams county has the
largest population OF any county
in the state. The table further
shows that despite the fact that the
males out numbered the females
the school lists show a much
greater number Of females thna
males. The table is very interest
ing.
