Thousands of visitors Hocked to tho capital oily from all parts of tho Stato. Tho hotols and boarding houses were full to ovor Howing, A few tramped tho strcots for hours and sought in vain a place to rost their weary heads. Hut most of tho crowd found comfortable quarters and enjoyed their visit to Columbia and tho fair. As usual Thursday was "thc great day of tho fair." Tho attendance that day was variously estimated at from twenty to thirty thousand. Momo wero inter ested in ono thing and some in another. Tho sido shows and numerous catch pennies did a nourishing business. Tho various exhibits received moro or less attention, though thoy wove seen to bet tor advantage on other days when tho crowd was smaller. Hundreds witnessed tho game of foot ball between Clemson and Carolina. Hut perhaps most of all was enjoyed the meeting of friends and acquaintances. This in fact is the chief attraction for many w ho go to tho fair year after year. Among tho many exhibits at thc fair none was moro interesting and instruc tive than tho exhibits of the schools and colleges. They told of tho growing in terest taken in education throughout the State and of tho splendid work dono by our schools and colleges. Day after day great uUmbors were around the lino ex hibit of Winthrop College. It was a revelation to many who ?lid not know tho scope of the work dono by the col lege. Somo were so much pleased with this exhibit that thoy were heard to de clare that it was the "very best thing they have ever had at the State Fair." Tho following is thc report of a special committee in connection with thc school exhibits: Hon. W. 1). Evans, President State Fair Association-Sir: Tho committee on school exhibits submits tho following report : Wo recommend: 1. That a medal be awarded to the GroonviHo city schools for the best general exhibit, taking into con sideration both variety ami excellence. 'J. That special recognition (hy medal or otherw ise) be given to thc MominlllgOl' School for the best exhibit in drawing and color study. Wc desire to call par ticular attention to the evidences of suc cessful training in tho beautiful and accurate reproduction of naturi, in color and form, beginning with the lowest grades, and the practice in designing both for industrial and aesthetic pur poses. :i. That, wilily lhere is much to com mend in the other exhibits, honorable men)ion bo made of the Lancaster gradi d schools for their use of drawing as a means of nature stu.ly, of tho Columbia city schools for the general excellence of their literary exhibit, and of tho pri vate school of Miss MoCollough, of Wal halla, for exemplifying the application of the modern spirit to thc teaching of Latin. I. In inspecting the exhibits tho com mittee considered cbielly tho following points: Form-study, drawing, model ling, folding, cutting and designing. Map-drawing, coloring ?md moulding and gl?be-making. Nature-study. Writ ing, general literary work, including papers in each of thc school studies not mentioned ?ibo' e. ?. We desire to express high praise of the specimens of drawing made in the State summer school at Winthrop ?md in county summer schools for teachers, and to urge our profound conviction of thc immense educativo value of Ibis now movement to make more general the teaching of drawing in thc public schools of tho State. 0. In conclusion, we recommend timi in view of the groat voue of such exhi bitions as an incentive to highei attain ments in our schools, your Society oller premiums for such exhibits in the future, ?md thal tho expenses of lids year's exhi bition be defrayed by the Society. Respectfully submitted. Patterson Ward law, D', ll. Johnson, Helen <;. Mc.Master. Of tho other exhibits in thc depart ments of ari, agriculture, cattlo, poultry, otc, etc., much might be written, but our limited space forbids. There was much to be seen and learned. Kvcry thoughtful visitor to the fair must have come away more deeply impressed than ever with the wonderful resources of out State. Altogether the fair of 1000 was pronounced "a wonderful success." One thing more must ho mentioned tho latest fad. Last year the cry was "Hilve you soon OOorgO ?" This year tho fad was the little rubber return ball, the "go away and come again ball," ?is the hawkers called them. Kvory side you turned you were confronted willi one or moro of them, On the fair mounds, at tho street corners, in front of the stores ?md hotels tho little rubber billi How at the passers-by. Thousands of them were bought and they furnished great fun foi those who throw them. IC von old men, who probably would have been ashamed to do such a thing ?il ?my other time, were seen walking up and down Main street tossing their rubber b;dls. Wo wen; reminded of the caution given by a wise old man: "beware of crowds, for they often lose theil' hoads." All the trains leaving Columbia Thurs day night ?ind Friday hore away large 51'Owds carrying with them pleasant icc collections of thc great State l'air.

Strong, tho last mayor of tho old city of New York, died suddonly on November 2 at his rcsidonco in that city. Mr. Strong took an active part in the present campaign and it is said that bis political labors, combined with bis at tempts to retain supervision over his business affairs in the faco of impaired health, brought about the illness that resulted in his death. William L. Strong was born in Ohio and came to New York wllOll a young imm. He found employment with dif ferent (Inns until January 1, 1870, w hen ho organized the linn of William L. Strong ?X: Co. Tho brm soon grew to be one of the prominent business houses in that city.

When arrested Alvon!, tho defaulting bank cashier, had only a few dollars in his pockets. Ho admitted that $700,000 was ?i big lot of money, but "it goes onay," was his concluding remark. In his talk with thc detectives bc said that he had enjoyed life at tho rato of $50,000 a year or moro. Ho expected no mercy, but intimated that after sorving his sentence he would again be an active (ignre in the world. Nine out of ten defaulters aro like Alvon!. When they get to tho end of their row il. is generally found that they have only a tow dollars left. lt seems that men cannot, or will not, save ill-gotten gains. WllOll they steal money l hoy always squander it, and when they aro caught they aro almost penniless. Alvon! had a good position with tho Firs! National Bank of New York and lie could have lived comfortably and saved money out of a salary of $5,000 a year.
