These things will be shown in the main fair building, (100 ft. by 30 ft.) on tables and counters, and it will take sometime to classify and arrange them, put your name and the number of things that you expect to exhibit on a postal card; the superintendent will send you entry tags to be fastened to the articles. These have to be put on so they can be put in the proper division, and class.

He is also survived by his sis ter, Mrs. C. S. Gadsden, of Charles ton, and a brother. Dr. Edward Mor rall, of W amego, Kan. For fifty \ears Mr. Morrall has been a minister of the Baptist Church, and has tilled many positions of importance in the church, for many years beingHhe corresponding secretary of the Baptist State mis sion board. From 1873 up to the death of his wife, his home was at Allendale, and for many years he was pastor of the church there. For the past four years he has not«erved any church regularly. » Mr. Morrall was a gentleman of the old school and was loved by all who knew ^iim. A wide circle of friends over the State will be grieved to learn of his death.

The local camp Woodman of the World, were present in a body and furnished the pall bearers, although the funeral was not conducted by the camp. The funeral is said to have been the largest ever held in this section of the county, attesting the very great popularity of Dr. Ackerman. Dr. Ackerman was the youngest son but one of J. D. Ackerman, Sr., and is survived by his wife, his father, his brothers, Henry- S., J. D. Jr., Dr. Riddick Ackerman of Walter boro, Luther M., and his sister, Mrs. B. G. Willis of Cottageville. He would have been 27 years old the 27th of November. He graduated a terboro t at the Southern Dental College of Atlanta in 190b, and was associated one year with Dr. H. W.

Williams Ruffin Walterboro .Stokes Walterboro w’hen Mr. Padgett shot Jim Price, inflicting a painful if not fatal wound, the ball entering right eye and lodging in back of neck. There are many accounts of thu shooting, hut it seems that the fol lowing is perhaps as true a state ment as can be obtained: There was a game of ball played at Berea Sat urday afternoon and at its conclu sion an ice cream festival was held. Among those in attendance were Jim Price who appeared to be drink ing heavily, while in Mr. Padgett’^ store. Price used some profane or improper language in the presence of some ladies, Padgett remonstrated and Price began to curse and abuse him, going so far as to threaten to kill him and drew his pi»tol. As soon as he did, Padgett grabbed his pistol from a shelf and fired, a phy sician was summoned who endeav ored to locate the hall. He was un successful. The latest reports from Price is that w’hile he is dangerously shot, the wound may not prove fatal. It seems to be the general sentiment that Padgett is not to blame, and it is said to he lYice’s wish that. he be not prosecuted. The affair is re gretted by all. It will be tec-ailed that Price killed Willie Redish and is now on bail, the to agree on a work, etc, etc, are under the super vision of Miss Harley, who will be in the building for a week ahead of time to help these who expect to ex hibit, hang the quilts, and place the fancy work. I would suggest that this be brought the day before, if you have your entry tags made out, if not, please get them from the Superintendent sometime before the 9th, for nothing can be entered after that without some very good excuse. Send the things or bring them, and place them yourself, we will take care of them for you. A watchman will be in the building all the time, day and night, and all reasonable precautions will be taken to keep them safe. Those exhibiting live stock, if you have your entry cards, you can put the stock in the pens before 8 o’clock on Thursday morning, the 11th, of Nov. Hogs; and cattle from a dis tance had better be put in the pens the day before, they will have plenty of water, and you bring your own feed for them, horses and mules and colts can also be put in the day before. If desired, the Association will procure stables in town if neces sary by inclement weather for keep*- ing the horses and mules in at night. Remember this, this is no one man's fair, it is distinctly a County Fair, and to be a success as such needs the ‘co-operation of every person in the county, it is impossible for the Superintendent to see every one who might make an exhibit. He can't look each one of you up., it is a lot easier for you to write him or look him up, and Just to show you that what you have is gcod enough to show.

I hereby nominate to he his last at his home here about 7 o’clock Monday evening. For the past year or two Mr Minus realized that he could not recover from his attack of tuberculosis and the end came without surprise. He was 69 years of age last January. Dr Minus has been an active and useful citizen of St George since boyhood and was t highly esteemed. In his earlier days he conducted a mercantile and drug establishment here and was a successful physician. For many years he took an active part in politics and was identified with the public enterprises of the town pnd communtiy. Dr Minus was a brave Confederate soldier and was up to his death a member of Camp Stephen Elliott U C V. He was twice married and is survived by several small children, besides four sons and two daughters, as follows: W W Minus, of Ashe ville, N C.; Mrs E M Meyer of Yem- assee, S. C.; J P Minus of Charles ton; Mrs A Parker Barnes of Walter boro; I M Minus of Jacksonville, Fla. and M S Minus of Asheville, N. C.

They come, some of them under the influence of “fus x” and as a result a scuffle ensued be tween Sheffell and another negro. Riley told them they should behave and, it is said, immediately opened fire with his pistol. As a result Sheffell was shot in the small of the back and a serious and probably fatal wound was . inflicted. Dr. Stokes was called in but could not lo cate the bullet. There is little hope for Sheffell. Trottie was arrested and is in jail awaiting the result of Sheffell's wounds. » SUPREME COURT DEUSiON. The Supreme Court has just af firmed the decision of the Court in the ease qf L. M. vs Colleton Coon represented the plaintiff, find Mem. Gruber renuaanttd the . Mr. Griffin Mya thiaii three hi There will be a public meeting to County Fair in Friday morning this meeting Name ; jt is hoped that the balance of the ^ | stock necessary to procure a charter j for the organizatihn will be subscrib ed and the fair will be put on its financial feet so to speak, the meet ing will be addressed by several prominent speakers, who will try to clear up the atmosphere of haziness that now seems to overhang the project. It is hoped that those who are interested both in town and county will arrange to attend this meeting so that all can get together and work to really make the fair what it aims to be, a county fair, and not a fair gotten up by the Superintendant, which is a matter of impossibility, no one man or set of men can hope to get up a repres entative exhibit of .the resources of a county such as ours it is essentially necessary that every person in the county take an interest and work for the success of the project, do not leave it to a few of the public spirited merchants in the town of Walterboro, or a few of the mem bers of the Walterboro liar come out to the meeting, and at least lend the weight of your presence to those who are trying to arouse an interest in the face of almost insuperable indifference and misunderstandings. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEET. Notice is given elsewhere by County Chahman, M. P. Howell, cal ling the County Executive Commit tee to meet at the Court House here on the 25th of October, for the pur pose of arranging a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late Hon. D. C. Sanders. It is probable that the first primary to elect this successor will be held Thursday, Nov. 9th, and the second primary, if necessary, November 23rd. The general election has been ordered by Speaker Whaley of the House of Representatives, to be held Tuesday, the 7th day of December. Considerable interest is being taken just now in this county as to the successor of Mr. Sanders. No announcement has yet been made as to who will be the candidates, but there will probably be several. The concensus of opinion seems to be that the position should be filled by a 4jr, Senator GrMfinf^ti**® of St. Paul’s, or at least by one whom they endorse for the office. Mrs Franklin died Mat Sander <3ii daath wul appear PRIZE WINNING PUZZLE One of the most interesting con tests conducted in some time is now going on at the Brown Hardware Store. It is a scrall work trade mark of the Keen Kutter tools cut into a hundred pieces, and when properly put together will spell “E. C. Simmons Keen Kutter, St Louis, U. S. A.” This looks easy, but it is hard to do. Four valuable Keen Kutter prizes will be given to the four persons first putting the puzzle together correctly in an hour’s time. Two of the prizes have been won so far, the first, a box of tools by W. W. Smoak, Jr., who took 44 min utes, Monday morning. P. M.
