P.nn nrn tr ^ A ??A?' vuimaj iiunus ift lil^llb WUtCIimUn to give the alarm in case of fire. It in too late to lock the 3table after the horse has boen stolen, and it will be too late to provide this reasonable and essential precaution afer half of Conway has gone up in smoke. This can be done, too, without any additional expense to the city as we have had and now have two marshals and it can be so arranged as to relieve each other every six hours day and night without working a hardship upon either. Sending speakers down South to speak in the interost of Democracy is like "carrying coal to Newcastle." Silver Bug Bryan and Gold Bug Parker have grasped "hands across the bloody chasm" and peace now reigns in Warsaw.

Tlie Quattletoaum Estate. Lexington Diapatch. Iu was the Editor's privilege to meet Col C P Quattlebaum, oi Conway, on the train last week. The Colonel was returning to nis home from Leesville, where he had been for the purpose of dividing the personal property of his mother's estate, Mrs Sarah Quattlebaum, who bequeathed certain articles of furniture, silverware, etc , to her surviv ing cnuarcn, and it, was a very sad mission indeed. All of the children were present and tho personal property was amicably divided, each of the children receiving something in I which to remember their sainted mother by and to hand down to generation after generation. It is very probable that the real estate, which consists of the old homestead, at one time one of the handsomest country homes in tho county, will be sold and perhaps go out of tho family. General Paul Quattlebaum was one of Ihe foremost men of his time and his home was always open to his friends.

Nl BIG STAKE RACES " AT JSlAit tAlK For the First Time South Carolina Gets Stake Races--Bi^ Entries. t!?> 1111111 da. S. C.---(Special.)?In nil the lil'u of the State Fair-forty years? there have never been anything like the rnres that are scheduled for this year. The lair opens October L'tlth and closes October 30lh. There w ill he four days of racing. Already live stake races have been arranged for trotters and pact rs. Purses will be offered for both harness and running horses. Between $6,000.??0 and $7,(100.00 has been offered us prizes for these raees. The attraetive prizes, together with the fact that so many of the Northern and Fastern tracks have had trouble with the racers, will make the entries here fair week the best aggregation of fast horses ever seen anywhere in the South. Strings of horses from the most renowned stables in the country will be here fair week. With the races nearly two months off, the entries for the stake raees counted up to ninety-three, and it is expected that more than a hundred of America's (inest racers will t>e entered for the stake races. The purse raees will be much above the average this year. More money is offered and better horses will be raced. Tho track has been put in apple j?ic order and the grandstands enlarged and reworked. This was necessary to accommodate the Immense crowds that will witness all of the races during fair week, this being the first of tho scries in the Virginln-Carolinn Circuit. There will he other sports. Davidson College plays Cleinson <m Wednesday, and tin* I'nlverity of Stonth Carolina plays Davidson College on Thursday. Mr, l{. C. Keenan will have the races in charge, and he knows his business. President Mobley expects the races this year to bring people to the fair from every part or the State and from many surrounding States. TOGO AND HIS FIGHTERS. Japanese Admiral the Idol of Ills Meu-ZeiU of tho OlllOer*. Vice Admiral Togo, commander of the Japanoso Hoot, has had morn experience In modern naval warfare than any other living man, and wall has ho overcome his many difficulties and met his grout responsibilities, says Lieutenant Commander Albert (ileaves, TJ. S. N., hi the \'ew Turk World. Mr. Wilson, the 1'iiigliHh critic, soys of him, referring to the action of Aug. 10, "llo could not open bis attack Impetuously, as n fighter would love to do," and thinks that in the nccond phase of tho battle he was prevented from closing by tho ulterior necessity of keeping his fleet Interposed between tho Russians and Kaiochnu and Vladivostok. Togo Is sahl to be the idol of his men, and hl^/boniitlful and pathetic speech to Ills torpedo boat officers on the eve of their historic midnight attack at Port Arthur will never he forgotten. And his men are worthy of their leader. A recent writer has miM of the Japanese navy: "The officers am very eager and quick to learn and cnn grasp at once the good points to l>e adopted and the had ones to he avoided, but perhaps their chief characteristic is Intense devotion to their profesffon, In which all their Interests seotn Wrapped up. The Japanese naval officer is as keen about and as Interested In the exerelscs of peace, naval maneuver*, etc., na If at war ami feels intensely the praise or blame of hie superior*, flatter of which is never \vh! ; r unserved.

Mtorohonne ffrp lovftia, Tho Vtoiinu Academy of fldenoe bee decided to net aside ft room for the purposo of establishing phonographic archives, In which are to he preserved the results of recent scientific roscnrohe.% says a special cable dispatch from Vienna to tho Philadelphia Pros*. Ono section will ho devoted exclusively to the phonographic records of all the languages and prlncl]>al dialects of the world. Another section will contain records of the best musical productions. Tho third section will contain phonographic records of the speeches made by the greatest^c$|ebrltIos of our times. 1 } " lii mi mi m i ??mi i , :SDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1908. GROCER hand.

For ooiiluries a conspicuous object on tho beautiful bill of A recti, above Floren e, In Italy, tbo famous "Star tow* or" of (hililco, whore the great astronomer made many of bis most impor* taut discoveries, Is now practically destroyed, says a Florence correspondent of tbo Chicago Tribune. Commercial enterprise is responsible. For some months tbo picturesque structure baa been swathed In scaffolding while workmen have been engaged In raising the quaint eastellati'd tower by a third of its former height, piercing Its walls with two new tiers of windows tnd adding a loggia. When the work Is completed the tower will be used for a cafe and restaurant. "To the Anglo Saxon race," says on? writer, who has protested too late against the destruction of the historic I monument, "(Jalileo's towei^iosscssed i?. special interest, in that It was th? scene of tho classic meeting between John Milton and the great Italian astronomer. indeed in the whole history of science and literature there is no In- i eld on I more picturesque or affecting 1 than this Introduction of the Puritan poet, young and vigorous, with his hl-.'lin 1 not i > i m? \i-lfli ,.ini.w>..4i 4'--" -? - - ...i...

Another place of pilgrimage in Italy which on sentimental grounds makes a fur stronger appeal than the "Star tower" to popular Imagination, will soon vanish entirely If something Is not speedily done to preserve what remains of It. This Is the house In Veronf. from the balcony of which Juliet, cried: "Oh, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Hie mansion is crumbling to ruins ami on the point of collapse. It Is probable that only the facade oi* the building formed part of the original structure. The arms of the house of Capulct, however, still brave tho weather over the entrance gate In tha Interior court, and an Inscription placed there reads, "This Is the house of tho Capulets, from which sprang Juliet, for whom so many poets have sung and tender hearts have wept." Though shoals of pilgrims hnvo visited tho shrine consecrated to two Immortal lovers, the shrine Itself has been put to strange uses. It has served at various times as a cabman's lodging bouse, a restaurant, a warehouse for carts and a "furrier's shop. I HE UNE GREAT GATHERING OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS 11.? State Fair This Year?October 20 to ?0. The fortieth annual State Fair will ho hehi at Columbia this your October M -30, and It gives promise to be the greatest State Fair ever held. No mottor how bad the crops or how bard the times, everybody goc.c to the State Fall at Columbia. It has been the eiistom now for nearly half a century, and it will ever continue so with crowd* increasing each year. The State Fair Is the one time of the year that work can he put down and everyone have a good time for a few days. Old acquaintances and relatives meet at the State Fair if they are not fortunate enough to ny;et elsewhere during the year. Friends meet friends and college men meet their college mates and renew friendships with good stories of the good times of tho past. This year the fair holds even more than that for South Carolinians. It will he made up of new exhibits that will teach the farmers new methods and Improvements that mean money to every one of them. Tho races will be the best ever seen in the South. This being the first year that the Fair Association has entered the Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The stake races will bring many of the country's very finest racers. The two football games will draw thousands of enthusiastic "rooters" from both the | Carollnas. Columbia is better fitted t<> take care of hor guests than ever before, with more hotel accommodations. The railroads will nil put on special rates, as usual. President John O. Mohley, of the Fair Association, lias worked hard to get everything in ship-shape, and he predicts the largest crowd In tho history of the fair. Maztd Salve For Pile9? Burns.
