John Hollister was one OF the
most popular men in Washington
He was always doing favors for 9th
er people and never asking any fol
himself. An acquaintance, know.
ing his proverbial good nature, had
abused his confidence.
One day Holhster was standing
in the Arlington hotel lobby when
this man came up to Hollister and
said very effusively:
"1'm . thousand times obliged to
you for what you said to Secretary
Foster. I got the place."
"And you are a thousand times
obiged?" queried Hollister in his
most innocent manner.
Eyes, indeed, a thousand times"
"Say, can't you make it 1900
just once? You've been q thousand
times obliged on several occasions,
if am to believe you"

Sheriff Graham went to Mr.
Bells place near Indiantown
postofice last night on account
of threatened trouble between
whites and negroes growing out
of a difficulty between Mr. Bell
and a negro hand. The negro,
it is reported, used offensive and
threatening language to Mr. Bell
and the latter shot at him with
a shot gun, but the load did not
take effect. When the sheriff
arrived on the scene everything
was quiet and it is supposed
that the incident is closed.

The ONE GREAT GATHERING
OF SOUTH CAR0LlNIANS
The state Fair This Year-OctoDef
26 to 80.

26 to 80.
The fortieth annual State Fair Will
be held at Columbia this year OctoDer
$3.50, and II gives promise to be the
greatest State Fair ever held. NO mat
ter how bad the crops or how hard the
times. everybody goes to the state talr
at Columbia. 1t has been the custom
now for nearly half century. and II
will ever continue so with croWos IN
creasing each year.
The State Fair is the one time OF the
year that work can be put down ana
everyone have a good time for rev
days, Old acauaintances and relatives
meet at the State Fair II they are not
fortunate enough to meet elsewhere
during the year. Friends meet friends
and college men meet their college
mates and renew friendships with good
stories Of the good times Of the past.
This year the fair holds even more
than that for South Carolinians. II
will be made up OF new exhibits that
will teach the farmers new methods
and improvements that mean money to
every one Of them.
The races will be the best ever seen
in the South. This being the first year
that the Fair Association has entered
the Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The
stake races will bring many Of the
country's very finest racers. The two
football games will draw thousands OF
enthusiastic .'rooters" from both the
Carolinas.
Columbia is better fitted to take care
of her guests than ever before, with
more hotel accommodations. The rail-
roads will all put on special rates, as
usual. President John G. Mobley, of
the Fair Association. has worked hard
to get everything in ship-shape, and he
predicts the largest crowd in the his
tory Of the fair.

DISASTER TO AIRSRIP
keenly Felt in Washington, Where
Test Was Made.

WASHINGTON, September 49,
The disaster to the air ship OF
Orville Wright in which The in
ventor was badly wounded and his
companion killed is felt keenly in
Washington, where the experiments
were being made. The official test
was to have been made this Week
and Mr. Wright and the officials of
the War department, as well as the
crowds who have dailv attended the
trial flights, were confident that the
aeroplane would easily pass all OF
the tests. 1t lies now III the shed
where it had been kept, mass Of
broken wires, splintered wood and
torn muslin. Lieutenant Self
ridge, who accompanied Mr. Wright,
is dead and Mr. Wright with
broken leg, several broken ribs and
many brusies, is lying in the army
hospital at Fort Myer in the suburbs
of the city, still unaware that his
companion in the fight was killed,
Of course every one has reason,
why the propeller should have fallen.
but it takes little technical knowl-
edge to see that when . flying
machine gets anything wrong with
its machinery while in air it has but
one thing to do and that is to obey
the law of gravity and reach the
earth by the shortest line. When an
automobile stalls on a hill it may be
annoying but it Is not dangerous.
When flying mechanism fails it is
not only dangerous but probably
fatal.
This tact postpones Dy many years
the time when fving machines will
be useful either for war or trans
portation and before that time it
will doubtless demand a heavier vital
toll than those who have already
fallen victims to the experiments.
Lieutenant Selfridge was clever,
promising young man of twenty six.
He had for several years taken the
keenest interest in all air ships and
had made many ascensions. He
was also the inventor of some of the
parts of the Baldwin dirigible
balloon and was fearless in expert
menting with them. His death,
happily, was painless, as he never
regained consciousness after striking
the ground.

: HARPERs, September 19:-Crops
in this community are suffering from
lack of rain. We have not made
enough peas for seed in this section
for several years and this means that
the crop will likely be failure
again.
The Rosemary cotton ginnery
had quite a blaze Saturday night
September 19, caused by a match
in the cotton. TIE ginnery was in
imminent danger of destruction but
happily the fire was put out with
out danger. The ginnery at
Harpers is running daily and is get
ting kgood patronage.
The Georgetown chaingang is
doing some excellent work on the
streets here under the able manage.
ment of MIR 0 M Matthews. The
town of Harpers expects in a few
weeks to have roads and streets
second to none in the State. Our
town is fast coming to the front,
Int only the Georgetown part.
En6e free-holders who live on
williamsburg side of Harper and
the free. holders from Black river to
Oak Ridge bay will petition the
next general assembly to change the
county line, taking one and one. half
miles by seven miles into Georgetown
county. The free-holders Of
Harpers want to have the whole
town in one county, putting it with
Rosemary into one school district.

Panama Hats.

That panama hats are woven un,
der water is denied by a man who
has all his life been engaged In the
panama hat trade and has himself
made the hats. The hats are
woven in the early morning hours,
when the atmosphere is damp, as
the heat of the sun makes the fiber
brittle and unfit for manipulation.
At night the hat is hung out in the
open air, where it absorbs the dew
and is in condition for work again
the next morning. This accounts
for the great length Of time (from
one to three months) required for
the making of panama hat.-New
York American.
