THE ABMY BOLLS Of the South Carolina Patriots Who Fought the BritUh Hilder MARION, PICKENS AWD SUMTER A Document that Should Bo of O rent Intercut to the Descendants of The Gallant Men Led by Partisan Leaders. ' The Columbia State from week to week publishes the names of the sol diers lu tho Revolutionary war, vas they have been culled from the quan tity ot loose documents discovered by Secretary of State Gantt In the State house. The State says when the work ls finally done, it ls hoped, "that a comparatively complete list of the men who fought under Marlon, Pickens and Sumter during the clos ing years of the Revolution-that pe riod whloh marked the bitterest frat ricidal struggle that has taken place in an American State, and of brilliant and memorable achievements of sons of South Carolina-will be preserved. "Prior to the fall of Charleston, May 30, 1780, our State was removed from the eentre of the confliot, and but for the brilliant victory of Fort Moultrie and a few desultory and almost blood less Invasions, engaged in little of the U?ht;ng; but during the closing years, when these men whose names we are publishing were lighting, South Caro lina bore the brunt of the onilict, and these men drove thc British from our"7 State and Cornwallis' army to Washington and Yorktown. Hut for their deeds, and without their help, Washington would have been like Davis and Lee in lacie- years, the leader of an unsuccessfui revolution, and South Carolina prr.uably a British province."

FAIR LABT WEEK IN OCXOBEIt lu An Interesting Meeting of the Hom h I Carolina Fair Society Held in | Coli, bia LnBt AVeek. WuatWas Dene. g At the Spring meeting of the Soutjh Carolina Fair Society in Columbia in Wednesday night. Tho Greater State Fair proposition was endorsed a5d commissioners were appointed to lobk to tlie transfer. Tbe next fair will be held the last week in October 8n the new buildings on the new groun at the State farm In the southern suburbs of the city. Two bills now pending in congress, the one endowipg annually in the sum of $20,000i a school of mining ?in each agricultural and mechanical college In the count'rv and the other appropriating 815,0OX) annually for experiment stations, w^re unanimously endorsed. The execu tive committee elected new depart ment superintendents. Tbe following account of the proceedings is from The State: {. Thc following new members were nominated and elected: Capt. II.(H. Watkins. Anderson: Col. T. li. Butler, Gaffney; .!. I). Howman, Seiwood: W. T. Martin, Columbia: Col. Edward Mciver, Che raw; Geo. Ilolliday, Con way; .Ino. Fitzmaurice. Columbia; B. H. Bawls, Clemson College, E. L. Moore, Dillon: Knox Livingston, Ben nettsville; Stevenson, Cheraw. ? President Hamer spoke of tbe suc cess of the last fair and said that tbe people were evidently ready to fall in line with tbe society for still greater fairs in the future. HILLS IN CONGRESS KNDOItHRI). Col. I). B. Duncan ottered the fol lowing, which was adopted: Whereas, two bills are now pending in the United States congress winch are of special importance to tbe farm ers and to all friends of agricultural education. One is a bill Introduced by Mr. Adams of Wisconsin, making an appropriation of $lf>,000 a year to each experiment station In the United States for a still further endowment of research in subjects related to agri culture and for the special benetit of farmers. The other bill was introduced by Mr. Mondell for the endowment of a school of mines and mining in connec tion with the agricultural and Ine cbanical colleges of the United States and it carries an appropriation of $20, 000 a year for each co'/.age. This bill provides that tho following subjects shall be taught, and upon which ex periments and research shall be con ducted, not only for the benetit of the students attending the colleges, but also for general utility to the people of the State. Bulletins are to be is sued. Tlie subjects are as follows: Min ing machinery, with the application of electricity; mining engineering, mining exploitation, mettalurgy, chemistry, geology, forestry, agricul tural engineering and road making, irrigation engineering and the branches ' of learning pertaining to said subjects in order to the promotion of a liberal and practical education therein and to secure the must int gent conservation, use and develop ment of thc country. The two bills are now in the bands of thc committee of tbe house-the first before tlie agricultural commit tee and the latter the committee of mines and mining. It is needless to speak of tbe impor tance of these two bills to the farm ing interests of South Carolina, be cause the fact is carried on the face of the measures. Every legitimate ef fort therefore should be put forward by the friends of the farmers and those interested in the natural re sources of the State, to cause the en actment of these bills into law. 1st. Be it resolved therefore, by the South Carolina Agricultural and Me? chanical society that it is the opinion of these bodies that these bills should become" law, and that the delegates here assembled strongly urge the rep resentatives of the State in congress to use all their influence to bring these bills to a speedy bearing in thc house and senate anti give the meas ures a united support so that they may become laws and thus materially help the upbuilding of tlie agricultu ral and mineral resources of South Carolina 2nd. That the secretary lie and is hereby instructed to transmit, a eop\ of this preamble and resolution to tlie senators and representatives of this State in the I'tilted States congress. Col. Newman spoke in favor of the resolution. Tlie measures, which were now oefore the committees, had been endorsed by the secretary of ag rieulture, the national convention of representatives from agricultural col? legesand experimental stations and by practically every State in Hie union. The finance committee's report read by Mr. A. Gainewell La AI ot te showed abalance on baud Feb. 1. 1904, of (2,450.75. The receipts from sale of various kinds of t ickets were M.309.00 Mr. .1. (!. Mobley read ii feeling tribute to the bite Maj. Thomas W. Woodward. NKW O HOUNDS IN SOUTIIKHN SUDUIlHS. Mr. Alex Gulgin:rd read the execu tive committee's steering committee report tis to the Greater State Fair proposition. This was to the effect] that the ways and means committee of council had agreed to recommend to council a resolution carrying out the plan of the joint Greater State Fair committee from the Columbia Chamber of Commerce and i no execu tive committee of the fair society. This plan provides for the issuance of not more t han 830,000 in 20 year ti per cent, bonds to finance the change. One hundred acres of tlie Slate farm in the southern suburbs of the city "was the site chosen at a cost of $15, 000. Thlswould.be connected with the steam and electric railways and water could be gotten from the Olym pia mill pooplo. The old grounds to be sold, tlie proceeds to go to the purchase of t he bonds. The committee hopes to realizo, fully $20,000 for the old grounds. The so ciety binds itself annually to ret ire at least two bonds, in denomination of| not less than $500. The new property after being turned over to the council will be turned hack over to the society under the same reservation as the city now holds on the old .'?.'.unds-that is, if the society fails aili in? to bold a fair the property revu g 'ty. Mr. Guigna rd repo.jp? State farm had bcetjm a personal lnvestigatb1" ' executive committee } on which options ar.? Fowles place can 1 - icre, the Canap Fi>HUCnce pl28L_-ai 1300 an acre and .'the Davis placWtt 1125 an acre. None of the tract se lected is within the city limits; lt ls xbout a quarter of a mlle outside. Die committee has already arranged foi the disposition of $20,000 of the tjonds. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S WORK. The society then adjourned and the sxecutive committee met. The committee adopted its subcom mittee's report as to new grounds. .On-motion the chair appointed as commissioners on the part, of the so ciety Messrs. 13. II. Boykin, Alex. Guignard and Coi. T. J. Cunningham. On motion of Col. Love it was de cided to hold the next fair on the new grounds. On motion of Mr. Wannamaker the society's commission was added to the standing committee on grounds to lay out the new grounds and locate the new buildings thereon. The combi nation committee consists of Messrs. B. H. Boykin, Alex Guignard, Col. T. J. Cunningham, A. B. Haskell, B._F. Williamson, lt. M. i'egues, J. D. w. Watts. On Mr. Wannamakers motion the secretary was directed to return the the $2,500 borrowed last fall from the legislature. Col. Mciver moved that the present' legislature bo asked for the gift of $5,000. Mr. EHrd and other members of the legislature thought the llgislature would refuse this, this being election yea'- and the State being now $400,000 in the hole. Mr. Wannamake v's amendment that a loan of $2,500 be asked for as here tofore was carried. A motion was then carried that the legislature be asked for a gift of ^5,000 for use at the new grounds. NO POSTPONEMENT OK FAIK. Mr. Haskell suggested that the next fair be postponed to the lirst week in December on account of the great work to be done in getting the new grounds in shape. Secretary Love suggested that any change of time would throw the South Carolina fair out of the circuit of the various other fairs to be held in the fall in this section, and our fair would suffer from putting out the privilege show people. On motion of Col. Mciver lt was de cided to bold the fair as usual on the last week In October. The committee voted down Dr. Kl nard's motion to open the fair on Monday Instead of on Tuesday. Prof. Colcock of the South Carolina college appeared before thc committee to ask that the fair grounds gridiron be conceded for the college football, game on the same terms as heretofore -that the use of the gridiron be free on condition that patrons of the game be required to pay thc entrance fee to the grounds before seeing the game. Referred to racing committee. NEW DEPAKTMENTSUPERINTENDENTS. The committee elected the follow ing department superintendents: Field Crops-lt. M. Pegues. Horses, Mules and Asses-W. D. Evans and G. A.

So Declaren Mr. Phelps Stokes, a New York Millionaire. J. G. Phelps Stokes, the millionaire clubman, who has devoted himself to a life among the poor of the city of New York, has, in a letter printed In the New York American, declared himself for Representative William Randolph Hearst as the Democratic nominee for president. Mr. Stokes' determination to sup port Mr. Hearst is based upon the knowledge he has acquired since he has taken up his life among the poor and suffering. lie has learned the pressure of the iniquitous trusts of the country and the manner in which they bear upon the. poor anil needy. Ile has learned the exact effect of a live cent raise in the price of beef per pi un ul. an increase of three cents a gallon in the price ol' oil and the in crease of more than a hundred per cent in the price of coal last winter. Several years ago .1. G. Phelps Stokes went to live among those whose conditions he wished to better and im prove. Ile lived their lives with them, came to know them. His re nunciation was greater than 'chat of Tolstoi, and the result vastly better. Two years ago, in speaking of his work, Mr. Stokes said: "This is the most interesting life I have ever led. "lt is deep, whole-souled enjoyment from beginning to end. "Those who render the best social service are those who have the great est enjoyment of life. "My work is based on ideals. They are in the impelling forces which lead me on. "I look forward to the time when thc spirit of brotherhood shall become so strong that we shall have a union of all the people, not only In a politi cal sense, but lu a truly social sense as well. "Politically the United States is a republic, socially it is not. Artificial and wholly unjust barriers are set up by some to sepal ate them from the rest of the people. Wealth, social prominence, geneaological trees and such things ate used tocrettte barriers between man and man." Actuated by such thoughts, im pelled by such Ideals, Mr. Stokes h;us lived a life of abnegation of all the things to which he was born, and for several years has known no other life than that led by those among whom ho has cast his lot. Cotton (?mills Advancing. The price of cotton goods is advanc ing, keeping pace with the increased price of cotton. The lower grades of cotton cloth have fora long time been Loo cheap, and with everything else cm thc face of the globe that man or woman eats, wears, sees or smells got .1-Mr more expensive, there Is no . Ul'.a. why cloth mado from the Dec l**yit staole should not join says the Columbia A GOOD BILL. The State Senate D?SCUESCB at Length an Anti-Treating Law. TO TREAT OB NOT TO TREAT. It Would Bo a Most Excellent Thing If Such a LAW Were to Be Passed and Be .strictly Enforced. "To treat or not to treat,"' was un doubtedly the queatton in the senate Tuesday. The bill introduced by Representative Doyle of Ocouee, which was threshed to a mass of pulp In the house, was brought up after the calen dar had been read, and after a good hour and a half had been devoted to ita merita and demerits. The bill provides that on election days, no one .shall give away or sell liquors witbln tbree miles of. the polls. This ls man ifestly to prevent repetition of the public .scandals caused by the alleged wholesale distribution of "booze" dur ing thc general and municipal elec tions that have taken place in South Carolina within the last half a de cade. Senator Hay provoked the down pour of verbiage that ensued, by mov ing to accept the majority report, lt seems that the committee on privi leges and elections, with thc excep tion of Senator Ilerndon, agreed tc report the bill unfavorably. Senator ilerndon, in whose county the bill originated, aro e immediately to de fend thc measure, saying that men under the influence of liquor could not vote conscientiously, or If bribed were not Ht to vote. Senator Stanland also favored thc bill, having promised some of his constituents that he would vote for it. He spoke of the amount of whiskey circulated in the in terest of certain candidates at the last primary election, and cited thia as an instance which showed the need for such a statute. Senator Brice WPS another support er of the bill. "Liquor used in an election is always used by the worst candidates, who show by its use that they are unfit to hold ulllce." Even thuugh the statute were not rigidly enforced (though it should be) the moral effect of the State's condemna tion would be salutary. Senator Hay said that every time that a law that lt was known would no*; be enforced wa* placed upon the statute books, much more of the pub lie's respect for the laws was destroyed. As for the sale of liquor the dispensa ries are always closed on election days, and at no other place should it be ob tainable, were all of the liquor laws rigidly enforced. To pass this law would be voting away a personal right that ought not to ba taken away. After Senator McLeod had spoken in support uf the bill the ayes and ?ays were demanded on Senator Hay's motion to adopt the maj ?rity report, which was rejected by a vote of 19 to 10, which may bc taken os an index ot thc bill.

Thc National Department ol' Agricul ture Will Establish Near Columbia. The depertment of agriculture will probably establish a model farm near Columbia upon one of tilt farms of Mr. F. U. Hyatt for the purpose of showing the farmers how to grow something else besides cotton. The department of agriculture is laying its plans to meet the spread of the cotton boll weevil. Congress bas appropriated t2?U,000 for this pur pose and this sum is to be used not only in Texas, but in the various cot ton growing states. The department not only proposes to deal with thc weevil in Texas, but it proposes to teach the farmers to grow something else than cotton, if it should appear to thc department that it is not able Ut control the pest. To this end diversification farms will be established in each of the South ern states. Two of these farms are to be in South Carolina, and the de partment has about decided to place them in the districts of Representa tives Lever and Johnson. These are not experimental farms in any sense of the word, but are to be model farms, under the supervision of the experts of the agricultural de partment. The plan ls for the depart men to furnish all the seed, one-half the fertilizer and the expert super vision, while the individual is to fur nish the land and the labor. The correspondent of the News and Courier says of this idea that Mr. Lever has recommended to thc de partment as a suitable man to carry on this idea Mr. F. Hi Hyatt, who is a most progressive citizen, living near Columbia, and within easy touch with the entire state, lt is proposed not only to grow the various crops, but during the summer time to invite the farmers of the state to visit the farms In order that they may see their prac tical workings. It is proposed not to plant cotton, but only to supplement lt. ditton ls exhaustive to the soil, and this diver slflcatlon idea is i ti tended tn demon strate to the farmers that it Ls better to grow crops In rotation, in order not only to maintain the fertilizer in the Hoi!, but actually increase it. Great practical good is expected by the de partment from this plan. HOOD BOTANIC ? ilDiDiDiBLOOD BAL.RA ?

In the State Senate on Tuesday it appeared as if there would be a de* bate over Senator Manning's bill to change the salary of the suyiv.tie court justices from $2,850 to ?3,500 per annum. One zealous guardian of the State's finances moved to strike out the enacting words, and the au thor of the bill urged that the circuit court judges are now paid higher re? numeration than the supreme court justices. The cost of living is now much increased, since the time that tbe general salary bill was passed. "It is easy to increase sitiarles and to make appropriations," said one senator, "even though a deficit stores the State in the face. When a vac ancy occurred in tbe supreme bench many gentlemen wore willing toaccept it without question." Ile thought that there was "nb kick from the supeme court." An amendment was offered to make the increased salarv $3,000 and the bill passed to third reading..
