Chrysanthemum Fair at owings.

The Royal Floral Society of Owings
Station held it's annual fair Nov. 8, and
most certainly was a perfect success in
every department. Such an array of
magnificent chrysanthemums, fine roses,
carnations and other cut flowers, to-
gether with most luxuriant ferns, palms,
citrus, begonia and other foliage and
blooming plants would have done credit
to a large state fair. The premiums
were very liberal; among the winners
of fine prizes were Misses Daisy and
Amanda Putnam, Carrie Stoddard, Luz
cile White, Annie Ball, Susie Owings,
Anna Owings, Sallie Owings, Mrs. DR..
Culbertson and Mrs. Dupre. The citi-
zens of Owings and the country sur
rounding, know not only how to grow
fine plants but also how to serve fine
meals; the dinner and supper of oysters,
turkey and all the good things that go
with it, then cream and cake, was most
delicious and served to the large crowd
with most Astounding hospitality. The
exercises closed with tableaux, char
AIDES and music; all of which was excel
lent and did honor to those in charge of
it. A handsome sum was Melted for
the benefit of the chapel soon to be
erected at Owings. The visitors are all
sorry that it must be a whole year be-
fore they can attend another fair here.
The very efficient officers of this So
ciety are Mrs. Raymond Hunt, Mrs.
Putnam and Mr.. Festus Curry.
The following were the judges: Mr..
L. A. McCord, Miss Katie Cook, Mrs.
Stewart Peden, Mrs. Abner Kellett,
Mrs. Marvin Owings, Mrs. j. j. Pluss.

Value Of Corn,

At the National Corn Exposition ir
Chicago was shown a great variety OF
corn products but little known, includ.
ing a dozen varieties of starch, six OF
eight Of sugar and as many of syrups.
Immensn quantities Of corr go into the
breakfast foods of the period. A corr
kitchen is fairly bewildering in its long
hill Of fare. Not many years ago il
was thought advisable for the govern,
ment to send missionaries to Europe to
teach the people there that corn was
cheap beyond comparison, when it's nu
tritiye qualities are considered. But
things have changed, and more cor is
wanted at home. The foreign demand
has become a MINOR matter.
1t is just three hundred years since
the ~colonists at jamestown planted the
white mems first crop Of corn. The In
dams raised it after their fashion, and
appreciated it so well that it was cele-
brated in annual dances. They recog.
nized the value of so bountiful and
wholesome a gift of nature, though
they could not give it's lineage, in
which respect they were rs wise as the
botanists of today, who have yet to dis
cover the maize plant in its wild state.
Three billion bushels of corn a year al
fifty cents a bushcl represents 81, 500,
600, 600 in hard cash, an item justify.
ing corn carnivals on a large scale.

SENATOR TILLMAN
TO BE WEARD AGAIN
Information Comes via S%partanburg That
Senior Senator will Turn Himself
Loose at Orangeburg, Soon.

Loose at Orangeburg, Soon.
LANES H. Rice, Jr., in S~partanburg
Journal.
The senior Senator from South Caro-
lima, long lost in the distant West, of
which he has become an ardent adj
mirer, was heard from two days ago,
and quoted to the effect that he thought
Bryan and Cannon would be the nomi-
nees. Moreover, he was quoted as say
ing that he thought Bryan the greatest
living democrat, and that may be ex-
planned on the hypothesis that most of
the great democrats are dead.
Information that professed to be au-
thentic came in a fortnight ago to the
effect that Senator Tillman was going
to make things interesting in a speech
to be delivered some time soon at
Orangeburg. From the inside informa-
ton furnished by a party in position to
know, this speech is to be in the Sena-
tors finest vein-in other words, he is
going to rip things wide open. Just
what is to be the particular line the
party who brought the information did
not say, but there would be something
highly entertaining and worth living to
hear. That was the extent of the in
formation, and it should not be long de-
layed. Winter is the season for warm
ing up things. The temperature per-
mits it.
Senator Tillman has several times de-
clared that he would favor prohibition,
if the dispensary failed. Last spring
he was emphatic in saying that he
would stump the State for prohibition
another year. l reminded him that he
had already had considerable amuse-
ment out Of that question, and that it
cost something always did; that it was
a proftless quest; that prohibition was
a hedgehog, far more dangerous to cul-
tivate intimate relations with than to
keep away from. But hat individual
has hardly ever paid close attention to
well-meant advice, and has preferred
to follow his own inclinations. Now,
whether he is coming down to rip open
that question OF not, it is impossible to
say. He is coming. He is going to
make a speech. That is all known at
present. But the facts are that South
Carolina is going to have prohibition. 1t
is not worth while wasting good paper
and ink arguing the question. 1t may
come this year or next year; but it is
coming. 1t is only a question Of time.
Arguments from revenue, arguments
to show existence of blind tigers, argu-
ments to show anything, backed by
any amount of facts, will be utterly
useless. For which reason there is no
use trying to rip up anything. The en-
tire situation in the State has changed,
and any argument Senator Tillman may
make will be thrown away. 1t is due
to say this, for Senator Tillman's great
powers should continue to be exerted
toward solid and constructive ends. He
has made a fight to solve the whisky
question that will be remembered for
ever in the history of the State, no
matter what l~ight-headed people may

NEGRO COLONIZATION TALK.
Some Society Reviews SCENE of Sending
Blacks Back to Africa.

Richmond, Va, Nov. IA move
ment started in Colorado, where there
is a colonization society for the purpose
of sending the negroes back to Africa,
has been espoused by o. M. Stuart, a
well-known colored educator of this
city. The movement is designed to
ship to Africa all the negroes in the
United States, where they may estab-
lish their own government. with an
American protectorate.
The worthless class Of negroes are
eager for the movement, while those
who have accumulated property are OPP
posed to going to a new country, where
they will have to build themselves up
all oyer again. The idea Of the coloni-
cation movement is to appeal to the ma
tional government and to the several
States for assistance, on the ground
that the white people wv to the ne
groes a debt which they will never be
able to discharge until they have safely
placed them in their own country,
whence they were brought as slaves
250 years ago..
The negroes claim that the impetus
given America. while receiving the
benefits Of their labor, will not be lost
in the next thousand years, and the
United States a well afford to pay
the debt to the colored brother. The
that would naturally spring
up between the two countries would be
worth untold millions, it is declared.
1t is suggested that the negroes be
moved at the rate of one million a year,
allowing twenty years to effect their
complete colonization.

What Would You Do?

In case of a burn or scald what
would you do to relieve the pain? Such
injuries are liable to occur in any
family, and everyone should be pre-
pared for them. Chamberlain's Salve,
applied on a soft cloth, will relieve the
pain almost instantly, and unless the
injury is a very severe one, will cause
the parts to heal without leaving a
scar. For sale by the Laurens Drug
