Editor of Democrat - Dear Sir: lu lonking through thc columns of thc dear old Democrat tisis week I lind a piece from a fumier in regards to thc amount of hugging that we use on cotton. A few of 113 farmers down here aro putting on !) yards to the bale, and fire going to continue to put it on, and hope our Marlboro brother far tuet s will do the same. We l <sc euough on our cotton at bf?i. aa lhere ie a tare of 30 pounds lo the bale in price whether we have 9 or <> yards to the bale. We need more Cheraw cot ton buyers sil over tho country. If we farmer^' will slick together we can 3-jinpol those exporters to buy our cot ton or go out of business. They have posted notices down bern but wc pay no attention to them. Farmer come nguiu, your loiter is all right. All wo need is enough like you and we will carry tho thing our way. A linoTiiEit FA UM ii it. X TOWN ELECTION.

These two li?tes mark a lifo -thu one the lay of birth, the other tho day of . Icath Tho life ns we saw nud felt it waB that of J Ff auk Breeden. As measured by years il was comparative y short. But measured hy results it was long. For much was done by him What ho wrought that was most worthy was not done in a way to catch the plaudits of tho crowd. His were neither tho . if ts nor disposition lo work for ttugc effects But li? wrought; and men who could see and k::bw true worth, s:iw nnd knew that he wrought mightily, lie was a man ot great energy and strong convictions TheSO characteristics told in .all his doings Beginning life with small means hu dicil with ample po-seisions. This in itself is not saying so much; hut it is much lo say that no moral taint Kt tack es to ono dollar of that fortune Ile was an honest man. What a heri tage to a comihunil) ! As a citizen ho serve?1 neit1ti???dary .md generation, lie felt thc responsi bilities ot citizenship and ncknowr* .jilgd1 its obligrlious. Ho was such ap ruo State could lean on. Ho was not A statesman - ha was a voter, and ex ercised his sovereign right manfully liefere Cod and man. He was such as make nations mighty. The community where ho was horn,' 1 i veil and died will mi-s lum. He was a neighbor-truly a neighbor. His manners were brusque, but his heart was always warm toward his follows His Sympathien were broad and rich. He was of large mould in body and in heart. Ho wrought for /non through ii,o church. He loved the Church, be lieve:! in it, lived in it. Not as an or in meut, nota figurehead, but a mem ber, a pari of it. As a friend many will miss him, ami by reason of his death the cry ol man\- hearts will bc: "Oh for the touah o? a vanished limul And l?ic Bound ol a voies that in H till," Ila was not royal as the World counts royally, lie was not great as the world counts greatness, hut before God and The State Agricultural nnd Mechani cal Society purchased one hundred acres of lovel land in the southern purt of Columbia last spring on which to hold its unnual South Carolina State Fairs. This change was mude neces sary because the old grounds were too miall to accommodate the large num ber of exhibitors and visitors who an nually atiendo,I lh<; great fairs, mid the buildings were no longer suitable for the purposes for which they were built. On the new grounds there is room for everything and for every body, and they are more conveniently situated to tho transportation lines than the old grounds were. The dis tanev ls ?ess than u half mile from the liew union depot, and Ute grounds are real lied by several line roads and by the street ear linos, and no troubl? will be experienced in handling the largo crowds that aro sure to visit Columbia. Visitors will lind everything brand new this \ ear. The buildings aro all modern in i instruction, large, airy, and com fortable, all ono story, with numerous exits and wide aisles. Ono building ls devoted entirely to the handiwork 61 women, and is set apart from the other buildings so that tho fair BOX may en joy themselves without Interruption. Another building is devoted to Ibo agri cultural exhibits ami implements, ami another to tho commercial exhibits. Thon, the poultry building occupies a very prominent location nnd Is very large and roomy, 'tho livo stool; barns aro so arranged thal all visitors eau safely and conveniently pass through all of them and see all the stock at any time ami the management specially requests (lint visitors avail themselves of tbi.-: opportunity. Tin- regulation milo race track ls lo cated in tho southern part of the grounds and ls a beauty. Tho races may he viewed from the l'air grounds If it bo preferred to do so, bul a large, comfortable grand stand is looa tod at the ??nish of the home stretch, where the races can be viewed to much better advantage and with moro comfort. The (liiartor stretch is not separated from tho grand stand, as was thc ease on the old truck, but all aro combined under ono luclosurc, thus Increasing tho social part of the meet. Thc Midway or Pike is located near tho main entrances, and will be filled with all tho modern shows and attrac tions, with wares from very part of the world, and with people from every part of the world. Tho athletic grounds are located just opposite the Midway, on tho other side ol the entrance. Hoir- will be played two excellent games of football during Pair week. The railroads huve offered very chcaii ratos on account of the first Orea ter State Pair, and they will run most convenient schedules from all sections of thc State, in view of all tho at f actions that have boon ar ranged for, there is no risk In saying that ino large crowd of lasl year will bo doubled this fall, and that this great gathering will bc more easily ac commodated than in any former yo.ir.
