' Skst Every Week.
The Columbia State.
Every Friday is hangman's day
for the dogs that are caught by the
dogcatcher. If these dogs are so !
unlucky as to have do owners or !
owners who will not redeem them, j
they are kept ten days and then j
shot. Sometimes dogs which are j
well worth having are taken up and
these may be bought at a small price
>
F :i uurcuceuicu.
Every week some ten or so of the j
best friends men ever bave are Bhofc
and go to the dog star (where all
good pups go wheD they die). Dogs
are certainly man's best friends. In
addressing a jury the late Senator
Vest once spoke eloquently on the
dog. He was pleading for damages
and they were obtained too.
Senator Vest arose, scanned the
jurymen's faces and said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury: The
best friend a man has in the world
.may turn against him and become
bis enemy. His son or daughter
i t a
tbat be nas raised wua loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
L. are nearer and dearest to ns, those
whom we trust with ouf happiness
and good name, may become traitors
to their faith. The money that a
man has he may lose. It flies away
from him perhaps when he needs it
most. A man's reputation may be
sacrifioed in a moment of ill-considered
action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees to do us
honor when success is with us may
be the first to throw the stone of
malice when failure settles its cloud
upon our heads. The one absolutely
unselfish friend that a man
can have in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous, is his dog. A man's
dog stands by bim in prosperity and
in poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground,
where the wintery winds blow and the
snow drives fiercely, if only be may
be near his master's side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to?
offer. He will^ick the wounds and
sores that come^ in encounter with
the roughness of the world. He
guards the sleep of bis pauper master
as if he were a prince. When all
other friends desert he remains.
When riches take wings and reputation
falls to pieces be is as constant
in his love as the sun in its journeys
through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendless and homeless,
the faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying
him, to <$uard against danger, to
fight against bis enemies. And when
the last scene of all comes, and death
takes the master in its embrace, and
his body is laid away in the cold
ornund. no matter if ail other friends
?? J ?- - 4
pQrsoe their way, there by his graveBide
will the coble dog be found, bis
head between his paws, his eyes sad,
bet open in alert watchfulness, faithful
and true even in death."
As we understand it these dogs
are taken up aod kept in pound at
the guard house for ten days and if
not claimed within that limit and
the license paid, are shot. The most
of these emponnded dogs are from '
the country who doubtless followed
their owners to the city and became
lost, and many of them are valuable
ones. Those wishing to own a good
dog can donbtleBS secure one cheap
by visiting the pound, make their selection
and pay the cost.

Want Such Immigrants.
Augusta Herald.
In view of the great need of the
south and of Georgia for new people
to populate and make fertile the old
i
iw i y. PBgcg
wornout fields of this section, it will
prove interesting reading to- note
what one Italian farmer has done n
our neighboring State of South Carolina
duriDg the present year. This
new immigrant only came to the
State last winter, and he is located
near Conway, S. C. Hie crop consists
of seven and a half acres of
potatoes, from which he will market
from 60 to 100 barrels to the acre,
that will net him sbout S3 perbarre';
two acres of bell "peppers, two acres
of beans, several acres of peas and
five acres of corn for forage, all in an
old field that has been running down
for 100 years and has been regarded
as almost worthless.
What this one successful Italian
farmer has done his first year in
South Caroiioa can be duplicated by
hundreds and thousands of similar
families all throughout the south.
And this, too,- without interfering
one iota with the great staple cotton
crop of the south, which the Georgia
State Agricultural society seems so
anxious to retain for the present
population that they look with dread
upon new people comiDg into the
State. The Greater Georgia association
and the various chan b?rs of
commerce throughout the State
could do no better service for Georgia
than to encourage a few such
immigrants to locate in Georgia
during the coming winter.

upon all the negroes of a community
was incited by the shootiDg cf a

The largest chicken farm in the
world is at Sidney, Ohio. Between
70,000 and 90,000 chickens are

enters a series of ninety pens, at the
end of which after moving up once a
day they are ready for market.

STATE FAIR.
I
The Event of i! 10 Year?Hints to 1'ios- j
p<otive Exhibitors?\ Great (father- J
ing of Prosperous Carolinians.
, The first Greater South Carolina
State Fair will be held on the new
grounds recently purchased by tho
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society, and which have been fitted up
with all modern improvements for the
comfort and convenience of both exhibitors
and visjtors. This will be the
thirty-sixth Fair since the reorganization
of the Society after the civil war.
and will be held the last week in October.
from the morning of tlie 25th
to the evening of the 28th.
Every county in the State should be
represented in the exhibits, for there is
no iiumn uui \\h<il td i j ?r.-> c? > ito
all the exhibitors at every Fair, the
premiums being- only a small part of
the benefits. A great many farmers
and stock breeders count only what
prizes are won. but this should not be
the case, because the greatest benefits
are obtained in advertising what you
have for sale and in meeting with the
progressive men from other sections
of the State and obtaining their ideas
and seeing the results of their
methods. The^jnanagement of the Fair
is making every effort to secure new
exhibitors. Arrangements have been
made by which freight charges are
paid on ail exhibits from this State,
free stalls are provided for stock, and
free bedrooms are furnished all exhibitors
who are willing to stay on the
grounds all the time. Numerous restaurants
on the grounds furnish meals
at all hours of the day or night at
reasonable prices, and feed for stock
is delivered right at the stalls at the
regular market prices, and besides.
1 1 1- All
there are omcers who ioua <juci &.u
exhibitors and see that every one is
satisfactorily located. All exhibits
may be shipped directly to the
grounds, for there is ample side track
provision for all the cars. Solid ears
should be billed "Secretary State
Fair, Columbia. S. C., care Fair
Ground Tracks," and they will be
rushed right through to destination.
Some exhibitors may think they cannot
make their entries properly, but
Secretary Love will take pleasure in
giving all necessary aid, provided application
is made to him prior to 10
o'clock Tuesday morning, as the Fair
opens at that hour and no entries can
be made later. All exhibitors of live
stock should arrive on the c ounds not
later than Friday or Saturday before
the Fair, so as to get the stock quiet
after shipping and get them to eating
well before being put into the show
ring.
The premium list is very liberal this
year, and it is to be hoped that the
management will meet with success
in inducing a very large number of
new exhibitors to attend the Fair,
so that the Fair will become representative
of every section of the State
and of all the resources of Carolina.
Information and premium lists will be
cheerfully supplied upon application
in nerson or by letter to Secretary
Love at Columbia. Let all who are
thinking of exhibiting, or who have
fine products or stock, make up their
minds right now to exhibit, write for
a premium list and then make their
entries at once. Join the procession
that is making this State one of the
best in the country.
