"Homo Coming Day" at Fair. Columbia State, The success of "Home-coming Week" in Kentucky has given the idea to a number of the oilicials of the South Carolina Agricultural so ciety to have a similar occasion in Co lumbia during the next Slate fair. In Kentucky the affair was widely adver tised several months in advance and as a result ittfUiy hundreds of Ken l tuekians win* had been out of the State lor years went back to -their Uojiics for a few days. Tho railroads granted cheap rates for the occasion and it was a gala festival all over the State. There are thousands of South Carolinians in every part of tho world and especially in every part of the United States who might if tho opportunity was presentee! them in time,, come back to South Carolina for a few dayjr.ahtt no better timo ? could be </hos(# for tho reunion than fair week! With proper agitation now the railroads- would grunt the propeir,<)i rates and the fair society could de vote one of the days to the "hoftie comers." The idea has been very fav orably receivetl by the officials of tho fair society and with cooperation can be carried through. Those Who passed.
