Remarkable Surgical Operation.

Baltimore, October Each of Is men
to-day contributed two pieces of the skin
of his leg in remarkable skin grating
operation, performed at the Maryland
University hospital, which will, the ply
sicans say, save the life of James b..
Hughes, who seven weeks ago fell into a
tank of hot water while at work in
Washington. The accident took every
vestigc of skin from one of Hughes legs
and the most persistent efforts of the
doctors since nave brought not the
slightest indications of healing. AS the
only means of saving the mans life skin
grating was resorted to and two pieces
of the outer skin, each piece one by six
inches, were to-day transferred from
each of fifteen of his friends to Hughes
injured leg. The operation lasted an
hour and n half and mono of those who
contributed was anesthized. Each of the
fifteen men will be in the hospital for the
next 10 days.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets inlamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

The railroad rates are always
cheaper for the State Fair than at
any other time, and more people
come to Columbia during Fair
Week than during any other Of the
httv-t"o weeks of the year. In fact,
pretty much everybody who is any
body in South Carolina is here dur
inG Fair Week Relatives, friends
and acquaintance from all parts
OF the state gather in Columbia to
talk about the joys and sorrows Of
the year, and to join in the festivi-
ties 1t is the one week that is given
up almost entirely by the people of
the State towards having a good
time, and the family gatherings and
reunions that have already been
planned for the coming Fair Week
all go to show that this custom at
each succeeding State Fair is being
more emphasized than ever.
One of the particular attractions
tor great many folks will be the
fact that the $50 cadets Of Clemson
College will be encamped here dur
ing the entire Fair Week. They
will give dress parades and drills
each day while here, and will have
ample time in which to mingle with
their friends.
A great many people in this
state now are taking a keen interest
in football Two OF the best games
of the year are PLAYED here during
each Fair Week. In one of these
games the team OF the South Caro-
lima College participates, and in the
other Clemson College engages.
Both of these teams are strong and
manly, and two exciting games are
to be expected.
~ southern territory is devcl-
opng a very strong horscracing
held. More and better horses are
brought here to participate in the
races. The finest racetrack in this
territory is at the State Fair
Grounds and it has been cstab-
llshcd at considerable expense.
Every comfort for the patrons as
we'll as Tor the fine racers has been
provided.
The city Of Columbia in addition
TO extending a cordial welcome to
the visitors, has arranged for free
street attractions. Even if there
were no free street attractions, the
people of South Carolina ought not
to miss the chance of meeting their
friends from all parts of the State
in Columbia on October 24th, 2sth,
Goth, and 27th, inclusive.

With the continued prosperity
that is now blessing this State there
is every indication that the State
Fair for 1905 will be more largely
attended than ever before in its his
tory. Last year the South Carolina
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society celebrated its annual Fair
at its new home in the southern su-
burb OF Columbia. As is usually
the case, there were some little de-
tails that could not be finished for
the holding Of the last Fair, but
president Guignard has had full
year in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out, and the
outlook is that never before in its
history will the State Fair have a
more successful Fair ,han that
which is to be held here on October
24th, 25th. Goth, and 27lh. inclusive.
vlhc inquiry for space at the
grounds, as well as from small cx
hibltors, indicate very general ap
probation of the value Of such cx
h'blts. A great deal of in ,rcst is
being shown in the mechanical de-
vices for use in agricultural pur-
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there viii be quite a
number of labor-saving devices ex
hibited, and, Of course, all up-to-
date farmers want to see these
things.
There is, however, far more in
tercsting phase of the State Fairs
than the mere exhibits in the build
1ngs on the ground, and that is the
opportunity for intercourse between
the people of the State that the
State Fair offers.

Atlanta, October 6.-Presdent Harvie
Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation to-day issued an open letter to
the farmers of the South in which he
urges them to hold their cotton for at
least two weeks. He states that if the
farmers of the South stand together for
two weeks and hold their cotton they
will win the fight against those who are
endeavoring 10 depress the price of the
staple. In his letter, President Jordan
| refers to the advice of former Vice Presi-
dent Peters, of Texas, to sell cotton. He
reminds the farmers of the South of the
fact that the resignation of Mr.. Peters as
vice president of the Southern Cotton
Association:was demanded by the execu-
tive committee September 8, contepding
that Mr.. Peters is no longer vice presi-
dent of the association, and has no right
to sign himself as such.
President Jordan closes his letter to
the farmers with u strong appeal to
"stand together and resist to the last
every attempt to break the present or
ganized effort of the producers to secure
fair prices for their staple"

Especial From a Staff Correspondent)
FORT MONROE, VA, June 15.-Not
since the 5Merrimac and Monitor fought
their famous duel has Hampton Roads
witnessed an engagement ion ksuch q
scale as took place tonight
Sixteen warships, the combined strength
Of Admiral Dickins's fleet, with the tor
pedo flotilla, steamed in single column
past the forts, firing every available gun
as they raced past In a vain attempt to
reach the unprotected mouth of James
River. Battery after battery answered
the navy's fire, and the loud resounding
report of the great twelve-inch guns
Joined tho mighty boom of the mortars
and the sharp rattle of the rapid fire
artillery, So dense was the smoke that
oyerhung land and water that the rays
of tho searchllghts were unable to pierce
IT and the beams of white light changed
into dull and smoky red haze. Not
only were all tho lights of NVilloughby,
Fort Wool and Fort Monroe in use, but
every ship directed her searchlights upon
the shore batteries In an attempt to blind
the gunners.
The problem ended as q complete VIC
tory for the army, every ship of Admiral
Dickins's fleet having been demolished
and sent to the bottom. After the run
past the Texas sent up q rocket, signify
ing that tho problem was over, and,
followed by the fleet, steamed out to-

be able to announce that the ladies'
of the town have taken initiatory
steps looking to the improvement
of the Kennewick cemetery. The
Improvement was much needed
and we are glad the work has been
taken up so eagerly. Correspond

proper parties to secure title to the
site and and a favorable reply is
anticipated very soon. AS we have
announced repeatedly in the Cour-
Ter, a part of the proceeds of the

of a beautiful resting place for our

partment, the fruit display is far
better than it was last year. Sit

the art department is filled with
high class exhibits which have
taken the place of a much inferior
