AL]4 A BRILLI An Advertising Expositic icent Foreign Contrib Planned, Executed able. Huge Success Played "Hom We promised to give a more elabor ate description of the Bazaar in this issue than we had in our hurried ac count last week, but candor forces us to confess our inability to do full jus tice to the grand panorama. To des cribe .the scene. and word-paint its picturesqueness. so as to not create an exaggerated impression. is a monumen tal task: nevertheless, we have the consciousness of giving our readers a truthful statement of this, the greatest social event that has ever taken place in the eastern part of South Carolina, excelling in beauty, art and finance, the social feature in the exhibit hall of the State fair. A brief history would not be out, of place at this time. The public library scheme was conceived in public spirit and patriotism, by citizens whose in terest for the future welfare of Man ning never ceases; they always answer to the roll call of duty, and when the library project was started, these citi zens came forward with an inspirin cheerfulness and determined it should be. The children of the late Moses Levi. it will be remembered. as a memorial to their father, who was one of the town's pioneers, and whose public spirit is a part of the county and town's history, bo'ght the school property and donated it to this town. The school has prospered, and has already made its impress upon this and other com munities, and it is today the pride of our people, and the hope of future gen erations; as the years roil on the bene fits of this institution-The Moses Levi Memorial Institute, is preparing the way for our children to take up the threads of life and weave them into a higher and nobler citizenship, and thereby develope the material and :spiritual welfare. fitting bhem for the battles of life. How appropriate then that such an institution should have a companion. When Hannah Levi, the wife of this memorialized - citizen died-the one who shared in her husband's life and patriotic efforts for this community, the children again came together, and to also memorialized their devoted mother, dohated $1000 to erect a build idg for a public library-a companion piece, and cap stone for the grand edu cational institution which bears the Levi name. The city council appre ciating the high motives of this family, and also recognizing the immense yalue for the town's future welfare in having a public library, unanimously voted to supplement the Levi donation with another $1000 and to name the library building. "The Hannah Levi Memo rial Library." To have such an institution that will be an ornament and a credit to our people's patriotism and culture forever mnore, it was determined the building should be worthy of the grand concep tion:then it:was that the.'pride of our peo ole wras aroused, and men, women and children of all faiths and creeds re solved to raise the necessary funds to erect a library building, a thing of beauty and strength, that future gen erations will rise up and call their ancestors blessed; meetings were held to devise plans for a bazaar. The ladies selected Mrs. Kitty Levi their chairman, and by virtue of the posi tion, she was the general director of the whole scheme. Mrs. Levi wisely * selected her- lieutenants, their names we mention later. The men as an auxillary force appointed committees to help the ladies. The merchants sent out to their foreign friends letters in forming them of the project on foot, and asking for contributions of articles for the cause. The responses came with unstinted generosity; a Bazaar Bulletin was gotten up, this contained a valu able'historic sketch of Manning and Clarendon county, written by J. H. Lesesne, Esq., one of Manning's young lawyers; the merchants and professional men of Manning, Summerton, Alcolu, Turbeville, New Zion, Sumter~ and Charleston, bought advertising space in the bulletin, and it was circulated over the entire county. Mr. Lesesne's sketch is in great demand by people who want it for its historic informa tion to preserve for reference.. The ladies worked night and day, with brain and muscle, and needle to have articles for sale-articles of use fulness and ornamenta~tion; the flower gardens, pots. and hot houses were nursed with special care, and those in charge of the culinary department planned to tempt the most exacting epicure. The amusement feature re quired talent, and those in charge of the games exerted every care to pro vide harmless entertainment. When all1 was ready, Mrs. Levi, with her band of noble lieutenants, began the laborous work of getting the Peoples' Tobacco Warehouse ready for the four days and four nights that was to dis play the handiwork of their efforts. The commodious warehouse, when completed,to describe it, would require an artist. The decoration was tastily and artistically done, and notwithstand ing its elaboratness there was not a single place in this immense building which was out of harmony, or but what * could have withstood a most critical inspection, in fact, strangers freely expressed their amazement and admira tion ait the lovely sight, and our own people were enthusiastic with their delight at the complete transformation, it was a most beautiful kaleidoscope,and brought to mind the story scenes of * fairyland. The merchants vied with each other in the arrangement of their booths, and this too, lent much splendor and attractiveness to the exposition. S. L. KRASNOFF, The furniture man,converted his booth into a beautifully furnished home, with parlor and dining room exposed to view. He had an exhibit that one rarely ever sees even in the largest of cities, in the show windows where artists are employed to make displays. so cosy were these two rooms, the old went there to rest, and the young to make love and eat candy. THE DICKSON HARDWARIE CO. Their exhibit was a lot of beautiful Garland stoves and ranges, they at tracted the attention and admiration of housewives and prospective candidates for matrimony.They had a range which secured them some nice orders. THE NAVS.SA CUANO CO. This booth represented by McLeod Wilkins-King Co., agents for the com pany, displayed advertisements for the *Navassa Guano Co. THE MUTUA L DRY GOODS CO. The arrangement of this booth was beautiful, their display was artistic neatness, and a grand exhibition of millinery, dress goods and embroderies. In the centre they had suspended over head a large bell made of flowers with an incadescent light for a clapper. The effect was magnetic and the crowds ne-er tire of admiring it. LOVI [ANT SOCIAL n---Grand Baby Show---V utions---A Grateful PeoP rhis Wonderful Event an ---Cotton Brought Fifteer e. Sweet Home" at Mid and All Was Over. J. L. MCLEOD. This young merchant deserves credit for his excellent taste and judgment. It could not have been arranged better to attract those contemplating the purchase of spring~ dress goods and millinery. It was a beautiful display of pretty dress goods, clothing, hats and other articles of fine merchandise. Over the front was an electric sign containing the name of the proprietor and the character of his business. THE W. E. JENKINSON CO. This booth excelled in arrangement the great store of the W. E. Jenkinson Company noted all over the country for its handsome attractiveness. Here was displayed in an artistic manner millinery, dry goods, dress goods, fancy goods, clothing and novelties, it was a bazaar within itself, and decorated with laces, embroderies and flowers and in keeping with the color scheme and effect of the bazaar decorations. The ladies raved over it. There was also in this exhibition a magnificent reception hall where furniture, carpets, lace curtains and rugs were so happily arranged as to make a feast for the eyes and an attractive resting place, and many were the compliments ex pressed by those who attended this grand fete. THE CAFE at the end of the hall was the cfe where many tables were laid with dainty linen, glass and crockery, and everything so planned as to tempt the appetite. The waiteress dressed in white and cute lace caps. There was a plenty to eat, oysters, shad, barbacue, salads, meats, eggs, coffee, tea, choco late, cakes and ice cream served in elegant style. JAPANESE BOOTH. On the other side, going up the im mense hall, we come to the Japanese booth, presided over by ladies in Jap anese costumes where tea, coco, choco late. coco celery, soda water and other cool drinks were dispensed. This booth was decorated in yellow and black, susended overhead was a large Jap anese umbrella. It was unique and cute. GROCERY. Then followed the large grocery booth, decorated with broom straw and the flags of the nation, bidding welcome to all from every clime to come and buy the necessaries of life. The shelves were filled with tempting canned goods, pickles, nicnacs, the counters were stacked with different brands of coffee, tea, soaps, crackers, and behind the counters were barrels of all kinds of fancy groceries. APRON AND KIM.ONA BOOTH. Decorated in 'baby blue" was the apron, kimnons and handkerchief booth, presided over by ladies in costumes corresponding to the colors of their decorations. Spread upon the counters was beautiful handworked handker chiefs. collars, and hanging in attract ive arrangement elegaatl jackets. kim onas and other articles of ladies' wear. We are admonished to designate this booth the "banner booth," because everything was sold out on the _open ing nignt, but we refrain from sitting in judgment for obvious reasons, and also the value we place upon our life. We will say, however, the ladies of this booth got busy, and by hard work of themselves and friends put in a ne w supply and kept up the stock until the close. AMUSEMENTS. The fun we found at the amusement departments. There were two of these. The first contained games for the chil dren. "Buster Brown" where the chil dren were blindfolded and at a nickle a chance were required to place a tie in the proper place on "Buster Brown." The companion game in ths department was "Foxy Grandpa,'' also at a nickle a shot where the chil dren and grown-ups labored hard for prizes in trying to get the hat on Foxv's head. JAPANESE POOL. The other department was two Jap anese pool tables, the prize for men a diamond scarf pin, for ladies a sterling silver comb and brush. Ten cents a game was charged and these two ta bles were going all the tittie. The con cern did a money raking business. .FLOWER PAVILION Now we take down the centre of the emporium. The flower booth decorat ed in green and flowers, the whole can opied in green and flowers,_ and the la dies serving~ornamenlted with flowers. Mrs. Wiggs and her cabbage patch se cured a place here, and her cabba~ges made up of green paper planted in sand induced many to try their luck for the prizes which were worth the money. Th flowers threw the women into ec stacies, beautiful roses, fresh every day from home and from J. M. Connelly, the famous Charleston florist. Palms, ferns, lilies, geraniums, century plants and a profusion of other plants,present ig a grand effect.A number of these ex quisite palms were contributed by P. J. Berckman's Co, Augusta, Ga. F.ANCY WORK. This booth decorated in pink, and the costumes of the servers same color,con taned a magnificent display of handi work. It would require one more com petent than the writer to adequately describe it. He should be a judge if dollars brings experience, hut with shame he confesses his ignorance.It was exquisite, and the place was always crowded night and day with the wo men, with their own or their husbands purses in their hands. They appeared as wild in their exclamations of delight as were the children at the doll booth. Sofa cushions, knitted slippers, brica brac, needle work crochet, all manner of fancy wvork,;fine stationery, perfum ery, albums, manicure sets, vases and everything imaginable to make women promise to be good. CENERAL MERCHANDISE. A huge booth decorated in blue and yellow, resembling a car, in charge of \. M. Turner. In this was all man ner of merchandise a few of which was: ook stoves, oil stoves, clothing, shoes, hats harness, lap robes, turned wood work for railings, wire fencing, plows, paints, guns,and numerous other things. THE -DOLL BOOT H. Decorated in pure white. It was a mecca for the children, where prettily dressed dolls were enticingly arranged, and where Santa Claus could have se-. cured his'next Christmas supply. These dolls were a great -attraction for -the grown as well as the little . outs and many a dollar was coughedp f5hrm the. daddies by the teai-ful a4ppseals of please papa" and "do mama," THE CANDY BOOTH. Decorated in red and white; ingen iously placed near the "dollies" was this booth of sweets. Candies of all sorts, french and home made, boxes, of coic french candy were arrang-ed EVENT. oting Contests---Magnif le---The Noble Women d Made it a Memor.. i Cents---The Band night Friday along the counters, and oranges and bananas here and there, ornamented baskets of candies and paper flowers filled with the same. There was no molasses stuff, but real nice goods as good as the best makers produce. THE VOTING 'BOOTH. Triangular in shape, decorated in red, was in the front of the hall, boxes were placed on the counters, for the most popular young lady, gentle man. doctor and minister. A nickle a vote with no limit on the votes,no regis tration certificate, oath, naturalization papers were required, all were quali fied if they had the nickles, and every man, woman and child voted as often as the spirit moved them. and on the last night it certainly "moved" them. BUGY AND HARNESS. Thomas & Bradham displayed bug gies,and their Mr. Russell gave a dem onstration of how he made the harness which is fast earning an excellent re putation. THE MANNING ELECTRIC LIGHT CO. The hall was magnificently lighted by Mr. W. S. Harvin, who went to con siderable expense to secure the are lights suitable for this immense hall. When the lights were turned on amid the overhanging green, the many col ored ribbons in the booths, the fashion ablably dressed multitude, music play ing, children in mirthful romping, young people faces beaming with joy, the elders looking on with approval and happy, games going on. people buying, laughing, jesting playing all kinds of innocent pranks, eating in the cafe, the white-capped waitresses flit ting briskly about serving: joy and pleasure reigning supreme, nothing to mar the occasion, everybody Pager Lo make one another happy and spend money for a good cause, widowers with bouquets on their coats, buying candy and following the girls,. widows watch ing the carnival and looking askance "what will the harvest be?" The ladies committees kept busy looking after their tremendous charge, and all of this hurly-burly of joy for four days and four nights under a blaze of electricity amid music, flowers and lovliness: the music of the cash jing ling in the tills and all for the build ing of high aims and purposes, with the entire. community with the same set noble purpose, was indeed enchant ing. The picturesqueness of this bril liant occasion will ever linger in the minds of those whose good fortune ft was to participate. The aftermath can but make us have a more charitable view for our fellowman's frailities and Ishort comings. This occasion demonstrated grandly what can be accomplished when a pull together spirit takes hold of the peo ple; it teaches, that we are a great peo ple together, and a very little people alone. Another evidence of public spirit was in the sale of a bale of cotton con tributed through Capt. L. L Bagnal,for Walsh & Bofil Brokers of Charleston. This cotton was sold at auction on Thursday night, and under the melo dious voice of Charley Mason.it fetched 15 cents per pound, followed by great handlapping from the crowd. The bale of cotton was knocked down to Major Abe Levi, who represented him self and a number of friends that com bined to make it reach ~the cotton as sociation's price, 15 cents. THE BABY SHOW. Friday afternoon was "Baby Day," and it was a sight pleasing to behold, a spectacle not soon to be forgotten. So many pretty babies, and mother Sprott who had charge of this, like Mother Goose had so many children she did not know what to do, but she did, and did it greatly, for a long time, the jam of men and women in their eagerness to see the "little dearsk' congested things, and it was omlarongh Mother Sprott's tact thatge 40%. could pro ceed. This featte wara great. sight. and we have ofterdought it required a man with anSjI~'erve, or liinber legs to be a judit'.' baby show, but fortunately, the good hard, sense of Mother Sprott together with the big ness of her heart, she saved the mni' by letting the multitudc judge at a nickle a vote. The children presented a beautiful picture. All of them were sweet and dressed' as sweetly, they seemed to realize their importance, and they gaed upon the crowd, wiggled their little pink-toes, the nurses with handkerchiefs on guard, and the proud parents telling their friends the number of their child. Each child was tagged with a number and the vote bought tickets at a nickle a piece and voted for his favorite. In a contest like this the choice does not always fall to the meritorious, be cause people lose sight of actual merit and vote to gratify their inclinations the kindred and close friends, there fore, those mothers whose babies were pretty and failed to win need not feel chagrined. There was one baby, not a prize-winner, the talk of the crowd, as being deserving of first prize, -it was beautiful, and it does not resemble its father either, but if this child was inspected by a disinterested multitude, the children of the State to select from, we would wager that she would carry off the prize for beauty. PRIZE-WINNERS. The prize-winners are as follows: For Beauty, Girl, 1st prize-a dia mond pin-Elizabeth Coffey. Boy, 1st prize-diamond ring-F"rauk Harvin. Second prize, Girl-lace cap-Cecil Clark. Boy-pair shoes-Lucius Herriot. The finest child under two months First prize-silver spoon- -Charles MElveen, 17 pounds and 14 ounces. Second prize-Charlie Harvin. JAPANESE POOL. Mr. Louis Levi, at Japanese poo scarf pin. Mrs. Ferd Levi, of Sumter, Japanese pool-silver comb and brush. Te bean guessing contest, bottle containing 796 1-2 beans, S. A. Rigby guessed 800-first prize-scarf pin. Miss Ida Bradham guessed 799-sec ond prize. pretty set ring. '- OTING CONTEST. The most popular lady-gold brace let-Miss Katie Plowden.

Grier.......3 Wd give the minister's vote in fufl, because the greatest interest was man ifested in this contest The voting for the girl preacher. doctor, etc,. did not appear to be at tr.c;ng much attention until Friday, the closing night, tup to hen it was oniv a vote now and then; but on the closing night things got warm, and the ministers' box was "IT." The various denominations naturally wanted their pastor to get the prize, a handsome carving set. The preachers voted for, were Revs. J. 0. Gough, Baptist: A. N. Brunson, Methodist; J. M. Holladay, and R. L. Grier, Presbyterians. It was not long after the lights came on Fri day evening that "something doing" was evident, about the preachers' box, and as the evening-woreon, the excite inent became pleasantly intense, rum ors began flying as to what this one had voted, and what another had voted, money was borrowed, large bills were displayed. men were watching each other and reporting to their respective Friends what was going on, then all manner of pranks were played to cause votes to get into the box, a man would borrow a large amount of money within the hearing of the opposition, and then watch the opposition get the news and act upon it. The ruse worked like a charm and all in the very best of hu mor. It was a harvest for the bazaar, and gave the preacher leading a regu lar -76 Edgefield majority,' which of course. was very gratifying to his friends, and at the sametime the de feated ones feel that although they failed to carry off the trophy. they had their money's worth of fun in scaring the friends of.the winner. In this connection we miight state that when the box closed it was turned over to a committee composed of D. J. Bradham, C. R. Sprott and S. R. Ven ninz, a very wise precaution as there was so much interest manifested. A count of the envelopes as voted by the individuals, discloses the following re sult: Rev. J. M.
