The State Fair of 1886 has come to a
close, and with it probably the best
held since the war. The exhibits were
never surpassed, if equalled, in any of
the departments; more particularly in
the live stock, and especially in cattle.
There were large crowds present; the
gate receipts were good; gamblers and
fakirs were excluded, ana last, but not
least, the faithful and efficient officers
who so successfully managed this Fair
have been unanimously re-elected to,
their fornTBr’Trositions.—Danjr^oC^.d.
Tit for Tat
The first American who brought
slaves to this country was a New Eng
lander, according to the narrative of
George Bancroft. It was New Eng
landers, who, upon landing upon
American soil, fell first upon their
knees and then upon the Indians.” A
traffic in red slaves was attempted from
Massachusetts to Cuba, and it came to
grief only because the proud red cap
tive resisted the dominion of the Cuban
sugar planter. The last attempted
American traffic in slaves from Africa,
occurred in the first few months of the
war. A young Southern lieutenant of
the Federal navy captured a slaver
officered by New Englanders. They
were sent to New York and one of them,
at least, was hung for his crime in New
England.—Birmingham Age.

They have no ambition and no desire
for money. Currency, in- fact, does
not give a traveler any particular ad
vantage. If while traveling on the
road your horse breaks down, you find
you cannot get auother, no matter how
full j’our purse may be, or how many
horses there may be idle near by. You
cannot buy one at any price unless the
owner is at the moment especially in
want of something which he Knows the
money he receives from you may pro
cure. It is so wirh provisions also. It
is generally impossible to deal with
Honduranians on any terms.—St. Louis

The consumption of coffee in Eng

Davison's Million.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 13.-*-The sensa
tion here to-day is the finding of an
important document among the papers
of the late John Davisofi, whose estate,
yalued at a million dollars, has been
the talk of the town and producer of
sensations for four or five weeks past.
It will be remembered that Mr. Davison
left no will, and that in consequence
the bulk of his estate goes to relatives
in Ireland, who have been and are now
in the city lookingout for their interests.
The executors, while looking over the
papers of the deceased to-night, found
a paper which outlined what disposi
tion Mr. Davison had intended making
of his vast property, though the docu
ment is unsigned. To Mrs. G. Fargo,
his neice, he intended $250,000, to the
First Presbyterian church he willed
$30,000, to the Second Presbyterian
church he willed $2,000, to Mrs. W. C.
Bryson, a friend,,he willed $10,000 a
year during her natural life, and to
each of his brothers resident in Ireland
he gave $20,000. He also made several
small bequests. Though the paper is
not signed it is considered of impor
tance and may have legal bearing on
the matter.
While we may differ with Hon. Geo.
D. Tillman,we are glad to see him bold
enough to express bis opinions. His
opinions may differ from the bosees,but
that does not make him any the less a
democrat.—Marion Star.
