C. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 5, 1902. % Dame Columbia has prov en herself to be a most de lightful and charming hostess. She received in a queenly manner the thousands of country cousins whom she had bidden to participate in her Annual festive occasion, the State fair, entertaining them with a lavish hand. All honor to her Saluda, S. C., had the mis fortune of losing her brick school building on Wednes day night last. It was burn ed about ti o'clock, having caught by coals rolling from the fire-place. The Masonic fraternity used the second story for a lodge and the par aphernalia, valued at $200.00, was burned. None of the property was insured. ? Excavations are being made for the foundation of Colum bia's fourteen story office building. Next in order and a fitting counterpart would be a sky-scraping hotel. That Columbia's hotel accommo dations are inadequate hund reds of last week's visitors will testify. Why should not Columbia ha e a tourist's ho tel, modern in ali of its ap pointments. The Southern put on a fly er, beginning with Sunday last, that reduces the time from New York to New Or leans from 40 to 33 hours. The train consists of three postal cars and one express car, carrying no passengers'. The great New York dailies now reach the fa- southwest before the dailies of South Carolina reach their subscrib ers in many sections of our own state. Captain John H. Montgom ery, of Spartanburg,who was perhaps the larfiest cotton manufacturer in the South, fell, on Friday last, from a scaffold while inspecting one of his new mills at Gainesville, Ga. His skull bein? fractured by the fall he lived only a few hours. His untimely demise is not only a great loss to Spartanburg but to South Car ofina. We have politicians enough and to spare but o? industrial kings, such as Capt Montgomery, we need more. As wonderful and beautiful as has been the transforma tion of the State Capitol, now standing out against the hori zon in its graceful and majes tic proportions, so wc Jerful and marvelous has been the progress and development of the|]beautifu! city which en virons it. One who has not been within her gates since the lapse of years would scarcely recognize this hust ling, bustling city to be Col umbia on the Congaree, the same Columbia that was laid waste by Sherman and his vandals.

TEE FAIR A GRAND, GLORIOUS SUCC1 All previous state fair i ords have been broken, greatest-that of 1902 passed into history with n ing to mar the pleasure the occasion. The alman and the weather bureau i nished ideal weather;the j pie supplied the exhibits; rural districts, hamlets villages aided by the railroz furnished the people,and ( umbia furnished the grour hospitality and good ch( With such an aggregatior contributors and contributi to the success of the occasi who could wonder that it passed all expectations of officers of the fair associati THE FAIR PROPER.

While the exhil were not so numerous as d ing former years they w< very creditable. The go< bad and indifferent were mingled and commingled as form favorable impressic and pleasant memories. I on the whole it differed t little from the scores of fa previously held. Notwil standing this sameness, w is there that can stay aw after having once attend the fair. The cramming,rm ming and jamming of the ti mendous crowd that was attendance o n Thursd proves the verity of the foi going assertion. Laborii under the aches of their bon and bunions some were hea to say that this was th< last fair, but ere anot e r twelve months r o 1 around the outer mnn w have rested and the inner m; will be longing for anoth fair and those selfsame su feited persons will be the fir to board the train for the fa of 1903. SIDE ATTRACTIONS. The officers of the fair a sociation were very material aided in making this occasic a success by the co-operatic of the Elks, who have becon quite a factor in the social li: of cities. Besides the usu side attractions and mone making schemes on the fa growls wnich proyMo bc deverson and entertainmei for many of hhe visitors, th Elks provided street ati- -a< tionsand music which adde zest to the occasion. The th< atre managers had booke several good plays for theatr goers and there were dances notably the assembly, stat and carnival balls, providei for the lovers of the dance And last but not least arnon, the sources of amusement were the promenades o Main street from dark till th early hours of the morning Gay lads and lasses were tos sing balls, throwing confetti beating tin pans, ringing cov bells blowing horns and rais ing merry cain generally, FOOTBALL CONTEST. For several years the chief est among the attractions o: fair week has been the anmr al Clemson-Carolina footbal contest. The already large crowd was greatly increased on Thursday by the arrival oi the fathers, mothers,brothers, sisters and sweethearts of the Clemson cadets and South Carolina college students. The game was called at 11 o'clock with odds against Carolina for they had been defeated for 6 consecutive years by the Clemson "tigers." From first kick of the ball it was evi dent that Carolina would be an easy winner. The game was snappy, full of interest from start tj finish. Contrary to the expectation of all, be fore the game was called, the score stood 12 to 6 in Caro lina's favor. College spirit ran high, each side true to its col ors but the Clemson tigers took their defeat gracefully. Considerable feeling how ever developed later but their differences were settled ami cably. The gate receipts net ted about $1,000 for each team. Carolina now holds first place among the teams of the state. OFFICERS RE-ELECTED. The members of the State Agricultural and Mechanical rociety showed their appreci ation of the efficient service rendered by re-electing the officers at the annual meeting held on Friday last.

The city of Columbia and the Elk's club should receive the thanks of the people for con tributing so largely to the suc cess of the social side of the state fair. May that of 1903 eclipse the fair just held. Rev. J. N. Eotzminger of Pleas ant, S. C. preached to a large con gregation in the Baptist church on Sunday morning last. The text beiug: " Thy word is a lamp u.ito my feet and a light uuto my path". The sermon wis a very strong, practical one and the congregation was great!}' edified thereby. ?m????: M ???? / y i iL Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back.
