A Day or Two With the Fakirs. SPLENDID HORSE RACING The News und Courier's Columbia Corres- poiideiit Does Mr. UiifTney and the Carpet Mill an Iiijiistlee.--Sani Sarratt Captures c the Ladles. Cherokee county, and especially Gaffney, was well represented at the State Fair last week. Several went down to Columbia Monday and quite "a number went down Tuesday and Wednesday. Among those on board the train Tuesday were Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Butler, S. (2. Sarratt, Ed. K. Belue, R. A. Jones. Senator Sarratt, Non. Sarratt, “Earn” Humphries, Prof. W. F. McArthur and Miss Allie Petty, of GalTney. J. C. Jefferies and Monroe Lemmons went another route. At Spartanburg and Cowpens the Gaffney contingent was joined by acquaintances. The crowd was in good humor and tine spirits. We ar rived in Columbia about 11 o’clock and went to different hotels. Ed. Belue, It. A. Jones, S. Q. Sarratt and The Ledger representative registered at the Columbia. The Columbia is said to be the best hotel In the city. That may be true, but we found the accommodations little better than that at other hotels at which we have stopped in that city. When the Co lumbia was first renovated and work ed over it was a very good hotel, but Mr. Nixon has let things run down a little. The fare is not as good as it might he und the accommodations afforded the guests is anything but prompt and polite. This may be due to the fact that this fair week and that he had more on his hands than he should have undertaken. Wednesday morning Sam Sarratt struck out for the fair grounds fol lowed by the rest of the crowd. The street cars were so crowded that it was with difticultv that a person could get on, and as a consequence the crowd was separated. Airiving at the grounds we proceeded to take in everything in the order in which they came. The two-headed woman was a wonder and a sight worth seeing. The smallest horse on earth caught a good many attendants, but George, the turtle boy, attracted almost every one. The “speeler” for George was a wonder. His droll manner of say ing ‘‘Have you seen George? Hurry, hurry, if you want to see George,” became a by-word with everybody on the ground. Then there was the merry-go-round, the hoochee coochee, the educated horse, the crying bal loon man, the races, the exhibits, and last, but by no means the least to make a successful fair, the crowd. The attendance was perhaps the largest that has ever been to Colum bia during a fair week. The crowd Thursday was estimated to be 20,000, and we do not doubt but that there were fully that many people on the grounds that day. The crowd was immense and the jam fearful. Bob Jones says he was mashed by the la dies until he felt like lie had been through a treshing machine. Sam Sarratt attracted the attention of the crowd nearly all the time. You could here the girls say ‘‘Look what a big man,” “Ain’t he a peach,” and “What a jolly fat fellow,” on all sides. And he was jolly too. With his genial nature und his inimitable wit he kept all in a good humor. But the most fun that he created was when he inspected the Chester county exhibit in the agricultural hall. In that exhibit was displayed an old fashioned spinning wheel. When Sam seen 4t he took hold and spun out a thread several yards long with as much grace as a woman and the crowd looked on in amaez- ment, while a sweet little women who evidently did not know that there was a Mrs. S. Q. Surratt in Cherokee county smiled sweetly and said: “He’d be a handy man around the house.” An exhibit that gladdened the heart of every Gaffoeyite and that attracted the attention of everybody, was the exhibit of the Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Company. This ex hibit was in the hands of Mr. Paul V* Gaffney, and all who know Paul know that he made it as attractive as it was possible to be made. The News and Courier’s Columbia corres pondent did Mr. Gaffney an injustice in his report of this exhibit. This was unintentional of course, but it was nevertheless an injustice. Mr. Gaffney had not quite finished pack ing his display Friday preparatory to leaving and had only one or two specimens out when the News and Courier man visited him He then- fore sent his paper a report that re flected on Mr. Gaffney’s ability to make a proper display of his goods. The display was in the agricultural building and was between two mat tress makers. The booth was taste fully decorated with bunting and fes toons, and the different patterns of carpets arranged in an attractive manner. This exhibit attracted a great deal of attention, and many learned for the first time that there was sucli a man ufactory in the State. The exhibits as a whole were not what they might have been, but the fair was a great success. The races were better than usual. The foot ball game was a one-sided affair, Clemson having a perfect walk-over so far as the Kouth Carolina College team was concerned. Nearly everybody from Gaffney and Cherokee returned home by Friday night, and those who attended will ever have pleasant recollections of the S'ate fair of 1899 TWO EXCELLENT SERMONS. ItiHliop Dmx'un IiHliflits the People of GiilTney. Those who attended the Methodist church Sunday morning and evening were entertained and instructed to a remarkable degree. Bishop \V. W. Duncan, of Spartanburg, occupied the pulpit, and we have no hesitency in saying that the two discourses were the grandest and most sublime it has been our privilege to hear in Gaffney. In the morning Bishop Duncan preached from the f)th chapter of Matthew, LUh and loth verses: “Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” For more than an hour Bishop Duncan delighted his audience with his eloquence, his wisdom and his learning. He portrayed poor fallen humanity in all its weakness and at last applied the remedy. His stan dard of the Christian is of that high order that would make a man desi:e to be a Christian. He took the posi tion that the text implied. The Christians were salt of the earth and they were expected to save it. No legislation, no politics or anything would save the world unless it bore the stamp of the true and living God. In the evening Bishop Duncan preached from the loth chapter of John, 8th verse : “Herin is my Fa ther glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye homy disciples.” From this text a most beautiful ser mon was preached. The bishop took the position that no man could truth fully claim to be a Christian unless his daily life and walk and conversa tion bore evidence of his Christianity. A stingy man cannot be a Christian, according to tho teaching of the bishop. Neither could a lazy man be a Christian His logic was unanswer able. His illustrations, what few he used, illustrated. The Bishop is a beautiful reader. He gets all the poetry in a hymn out of it when he reads. One sits and listens and feels that what he says is divine. If the church had a few more such teachers us he it would do a powerful advance towards the re demption of the world than it is making today. We hope to be favor ed with more frequent visits from Bishop Duncan than we have enjoyed in the past. The church on both -occasions was crowded und it will always be crowded when lie comes to Gattney. Help Cm Keep StriiiKl>t. About a week ago we sent out a number of notices to delinquent sub scribers, and it transpired that we also sent out notices to some that were not delinquents. It sometimes happens that we make mistakes and fail to give the proper credit on the mailing lists. It is useless to tell a thinking person that errors will oc cur, for there is no one that will not make an error sometimes. We make them oftener than we should, but we are always willing to correct any mistake we make. So if we send you a notice that you owe us $1, and your receipt shows that such is not the case, do not hesitate to let us hear from you at once and we will cheerfully correct the error. Always compare the date on your receipt with the date on your label, and if the two do not correspond let us unow and we will make them corres pond. When you remember that we have fifteen hundred names to keep straight you will at once see that it is a difficult job, and that we are liable to get things mixed. Help us keep straight by calling our atten tion io any error that may appear on your label. licatfii l»y KiiIIIuiim. One night last week a crowd of law less ruffians attacked W. M. Wil liams on the Middle road, about five and a half miles from Cowpens, in this county, and beat him unmerci fully. It seems that a crowd of dastardly scoundrels in that neigh borhood have been in the habit of sending over in North Carolina and buying liquor and bringing it into this state and retailing it out. Wil liams had given the officers some in formation against the law-breakers and for his pains was given pains of a different nature.

Mr. Andrews is now engaged in boring a well at Pacolet Mills. He has already bored two there and is now working on a third and will bore one more. The Pacolet people mean to have an abundance of good water und they could not have secured a more gentlemanly firm of drillers in the world to do the work than the Messrs Andrews. Mr. Perry Andrews, tho senior member of the firm, is now in Atlanta, where he has been for some time recuperating from injuries received at Pacolet caused by the bursting of- the brake wheel and a poriion of the fragments striking him. All his friends will be glad to know that he is recovering, but he does so slowly, as the injuries came near proving fatal.
