AT STATE FAIR
NEW NEW PAPER AND POLITICS
ARE DISCI SSED.
Colunidia. Oct. -!).?There has Ikhmi a
good deal ef eoinineiit and t;iIk regarding
a caucus or meeting of the sounded
Ideas faction which weas held
in Colum'?ia on Wednesday afternoon
from r?.:SO to 7.<K> o'clock. There wore
rutuors around Columbia that night,
that the meeting was held for this
puriHise or that purpose, one of the
most persistent was that the eaueus
considered tin' possibility of eitlier former
Coventor Cole 1.. Weasel or 7
W. A. Stuckey. of Ilishopville. for governor.
hut it develops that this was
not formally dismissed. There was, of
course, a good deal of talking hy informal
groups regarding politico, hut
nothing formal.
It is widely rci?orted that a man
who formerly held an important po
sitiun inuler the state ptverniuent and
was a well known anti-Mouse man,
was present at the eaueus but whetlier

From reliable information wliieli lia
leaked out. and which tliis eorresjiondelit
has obtained, it apiH'ai's that the
meeting was ? ;?Ilt*?I ostensibly fur the I
purpose of deciding on whether the
l.lase faction shovi'd continue (their
plans laid more than a pear ago to
organize a paper or abandon the alI
"i.ipl. It i> said thai S0.IMMI had been
subscribed towards the establishment j
of the palter and of this amount liO
per cent had been paid in. The meeting
was to decide whether the organizatioii
plans should be completed er
whether the movement should be
dropped ami the money returned 10
the subscribers.
Information obtained by this correspondent
i- that the meeting developed
a good deal of the threshing out
of the defences \vhieh wore visible
in the faction last summer, and adjoin*

OUGHT TO PAIST
I ought to have painted last year,'
but I hated to pay $2 a gallon.
I've got to paint this year; it'll take
a little more paint; I suppose 1 gallon!
in 10; and a little more work, 1 sup-1
pose 1 ?lny in 10.
My job would have cost last year
about $50; it is going to cost this year
$55.
$5 gone. 1 suppose it'll be the same
again, if I wait again.
What it' paint goes-dow'n to $1.75 a
gallon? $2.50 on the job!
1 shan't wait; what a lool I was!

Foibles.
The dictionary informs us tha*. a

moral weaknesses of that most famous
Baltimorean, Edgar Allen Poe, was
M he was Inordinately proud of bla

well-known American literary men
had their foibles as well a? Poe. Nathaniel
Hawthorne always washed his
hands before reading a letter from his
wife, and delighted in looking over
jld advertisements In the newspaper
riles. Longfellow only cared for walking
either at sunrise or sunset, while
Oliver Wendell Holmes always carried
a horsechestnut In one pockPt

rheumatism. But as "half^ur misery
