We were disappointed by the rain last Saturday, the Oth inst. in attending the closing exercises of Prof. Compton's singing school union at Warrior. The exerclues were held on Thursday, the 14th inst. The Rocky 8pring class was present and several other repre sentatives aud spectators from different localities. The former class was well represented as was uiso Warrior. This union with their well trained voices filled the church with strains cf music of unlimited sweetness. Tho kind ladies gave us a splendid dinner, which all enjoyed. Wo extend our heartiest thanks to tho people of Hoclcy Springs for their kindness and hospitality and hope to havo tho pleasure of meeting them again on a like occasion. If Mr. Slocum Gilson was present we would like to know If ho thinks anything was done by tho half slice. Notwithstanding that raonoy matters are in a kind of a muddle Mm ns & Go. have completed tho extension of their store and have opened up $2000 worth of shoes, and drosH goods, finest lino over soon In the up country. A word to the wise is sufficient und those who purchase will bo mudo happy. It will bo remembered that Mr. Lianson Owens' money treasure was stolen sovoral years ago. The box was found a few days ago by two littlo boys while playing in tho woods somewhere between M. B. Leopard's and J. D. Mills. The box contained no money, it had boon buried in a gully, but tho earth on top of it had been washed away. Dr. J. R. Fowler has renovated his barn. Miss Mary Knight of Greenville after visiting her old homo and relatives here has returned homo. Mr. and Mrs. James Burton after spending several days with their relatives, Mrs. Gnrrett and family, have returned to their homo in Greenville. Jim still shoots robins. Misses Ida Tcmpleton and Una Simpson paid us a very pleasant visit recently. Miss Ball and Miss Thaxton vis ited Mr.". J. D. Mills a few days since. Arthur and Earl Owens of your city are sojourning in this section. Prof. J. W. Fowler's school at Durban will closo this week. All will bo glad to wolcome him back again. Miss Templeton's school at Owens Academy closed last week. Some sad hearts sinco her depart ure. Singings, picnics and the scarcity of bacon havo played havoc with our poultry yards. If the road commissioners would visit this locality they would find work needed. We extend thanks to Slocum Gilson for tho compliment paid us in tho issue of the 1th inst. Give us a call Slocum, and maybe you will liko us. Bum Bunker. Long Branch. Laurons Sloan says ho has been all over the world with his photo graph tent and has landed back at Bhikely's store.

JonN M. IIunriKNH, County rresidont. A Country mau in Chicago. After your two hours of keen relish are over it is a good plan to attend to maps and diagrams. You are growing accustomed to the surroundings nnd it is possible to call up your scattered faculties and take your bearings. To be sure your vitality is considerably low ered, but you are in as good form for observation now as yon will be again and you had best arrange your program of inspection. But there should be no method in the ecstasy with whteh ono gloats In his first impressions of the lair. You are jaded to the precise point it which a voyage around the lagoons and ponds in an elec tric launch at a cost of fifty cents .will prove a lucky investment. Those boats uro blissful. It Is smooth sailing. You tako off your hat and gentle, soft, poetic breezes that you read about find their way through your hair or whiskers and you loan over and lot your hand dip in the waters and they are cool. AM your good dreams have como true. "Not a wave of trouble rolls across your peaceful breast." You forglvo your enemies. Forget tul ot the work and worry, cares and disappointments of life, you feel yourself embarked at last and floating on a sea of happiness. Within the next forty-live minutes you circumnavigate a fairy island of flowers, foliage and verdure, but the magic joy of the moment betrays you into forgetfulnoss that it is not u continent about whose happy shores you will glido forever. From the shores of the "main land" rise white places, gleaming in the sunlight and towering in the skies. One by one the boat passes them, stopping at tho marble flights of steps leading from the green plazas in front of them to tho crystal water's edge. Now the boat is in the shadow of somo colossal bull or buffalo lifelike as if the breath ing animal had been turned to stone, now tho tinkle of the waters of a fountain tremble on tho oar while its spray is wafted to your face, ana again tho arch of a bridge above has for an instant banished and hidden tho vision. On the boat speeds from palace to mansion from mansion to castlo and from castle back to palaces more splen did than the first until the starting point is reached again and the pas sengers sorrowfully disembark to loso themselves In the restless throng of tired land lubbers. All over the lagoons swim ducks, common,plebean, everyday ducks, most of them, who do not seem to put on airs. Occasionally there are swans and pelicans, tho Na wurs, Muharajahs, and other dis tinguished foreigners of strange waterfoul regions, who are visitors to tho duckish element of the fair. Most of the ducks, however, ap pear to bo of the well to do, easy going kind who live in compara tive luxury. They are capitalistic fowls. They do not hustle for a living. They are perhaps non pro ducers. While other ducks, their equals in intellect nnd culture, are industriously laying eggs and yielding up their bono and flesh to sweeten the teeth of plutocrats these ducks are floating around in idleness. Many of them are not even ornamental. They are fail ures as dudes. Now and then they stand on their heads in the water and turning their tails to tho stars pose as acrobats but their feats are by no means remarkable. These ducks are mere thriftless, silly aquatic sports, yet they never want the good things of lite. While my riads of less fortunate ducks quack from pole to polo struggling for the bare right of existence these live like lordlings on the pap which their labor has not accumulated. Such conditions in duckish society aro unnatural and unjust. All ducks aro born free and equal and are entitled to tho samo property and social privileges. It is a mon umental shame that in many duck communities the volume of bugs and worms is so restricted that duck legs aro growing thin and emaclatod. Somo of these days an army of discontented ducka will swoop down on these Chicago aristocratic ducks and ex pel them from their favored isle with a clacking which will be heard from shore to shore of the lagoon. If each of my readers were gifted with tho imagination of a Dore to interpret and I hud the genius of a Dante to paint in words It would be worth while for mo to endeavor to tell of tho scene presented by tho "Court of Honor" illuminated. Tho Administration building with its glitering domo overlooks it, electric fountains throw streams of many hued waters and batlio in fire tho groups of statuary at their feet, the limpid waters of tho basin reilect the shining walls of the pal aces studded with a million elec tric gems, which enclose it, and from roof to roof above, now fixed on marble obelisk now qn golden statue, sweep tho mighty search lights like tho Cherubim's flaming sword, Mortals who have not stood in the midst of its radiance can form no conception of its beauty and glory. There wcro a hundred and sev enty-five thousand people with me the night I saw this. Nobody was ill tempered, nopo percoptihly drunk, not ono In tho crowd men tioned hard times and nobody trod on my toes. One could write for a week or two about tho oxhibits but official catalogues are moro satisfactory to tho averogo reader. Tho fair convinces quo of his la mcntablo ignorance. It told mo unceremoniously that I was a half civilized barbarian. { s|umiU| UKe to have apologised fof coming to see it if there had been anyone about to speak to on tho subject. This is because at overy turn of tho elbow and glance of tho oyo some thing cuipo into viow which I could not in the least appreciate. Ovor there In that show case is a vaso valued at $-100(1. which I can't for tho lifo of mo detect b\tt twenty In, b,u,t tpey nrp there. The tag says so. It strikes nie as very pretty hut a man stone blind has as much idea of what a real treas? ure it is as \ u pleqses tue but I have taken |n an insignificant dec imal fiaction of its beauty. I see an engine In tho machinery build ing which some wide-eyed by stander says is a marvel. I don't know, don't care and stroll over to the "play-x.arnse" (that Is tho wfty they pronounce ^ aud always through the nose) whoro I seo tho animal show. I appreciate that. It is first rate and the elephant and the tigers und bears and I have all a fellow feoling. Our notion or tlm works of art aro about on a par. When a small boy I cherished an enthusiastic admiration for bright colored quilts. The fair makes just such an impression on the man who cannot study it and 19 not educated specially for it and nearly all of us who see it de light in it a3 children do in gay colors. The fireworks, the acro bats and the performing animals aro what wo genuinely enjoy. Most of us have a fancy for pictures but after making a pilgrimage through tho art gallery my memory retains some idea of tWoor three paintings. I couldn't namo half a dozen und tho only one that I vividly recall is a group of tho King of Denmark and his family big enough to cover the side of a house. It would be pleasaut to. walk through tho gal lories every morning but a single stroll through them consuming ten hours Is barren of results, however enjoyable It may have been for the time. The people in charge of tho Ai kansas State building invited the members of the South Carolina Press Association to muke their building headquarters. I heard of the invitation the last day I was at the fair and being with a friend in tho vicinity of tho building, we went in and as a murk of courtosy inscribed our names on their visi tor's register. As we turnod to leave, I was surprised to hear 8omo one say, "Why there's some of the South Carolina Press, we've been looking for you all tho week !" It was a middleuged handsome wo man who spoko and her voice was as innocent of the aggravating Chi cagoeso twang as are tho accents of our own mothers and sisters. She was of course one of tho officials in charge. Then she introduced herself and so did we. She invited us in again, introduced us to other Southern people and, in short, was as kind and cordial as oniy a South ern woman can ho. I began to be lieve that after all I was not a wan derer in another planet and for the first time in a week felt at homo in Chicago. This was to mo the pleasantest incident connected with my trip to Chicago and if I could visit the fair again, tho first place I should seek would be the Arkansas house and 1 should bo re luctant to venture too far into the foreign atmosphere which sur rounds it. Southern hospitality and kindliness in that strange place of feelings and manners into which a Southerner cannot enter is to be appreciated. Arkansas is half a thousand miles from South Caro lina but in all that binds people together and welds them into one she is just as near as Georgia or North Carolina,?in fact, though we believe in states' rights, states' lines do not separate us. But Illi nois is a good way farther off. A Few Corrections. To tho Kditor of The News and COU lors I sco in publishing my lotlur to Governor Tilluian, in reference to tho dispensary nt Lauretta In your Issue of the :;ist, thoro arc several typographical errors which mako vory awkward load ing, and, besides, greatly misrepresent my position on the dispensary question. I therefore ask you to do mo tho kind ness to allow me space in your,journal to correct tlioni. First, then, 1 am made to say in print, "I myself am afraid ol tho Dispensary Act as a Whole, but more of its local op tion feature." 1 wrote, "I myself am a friend of tho Dispensary Act as a whole, hut more of its local option feature." Pursuant to notice I moved to amend the Kvans bill on its third reading in tho Monato by striking out tho words "ono third,'' in Section s, and inserting in lieu thoreof tho word "majority," w hich amendment, was SCCOpteU by the author of tho bill, and was adopted by tho Senate, and myself and a numbor of others supported the bill, mainly m con sequence of tho local option feature thus introduced into it. In doing this j en deavored to obey tho instructions of my constituents givon in tho August prima ry, and in standing by it and demanding their rights under it I have boon drawn into this controversy. Thesecond error I will notice is the misprint in substituting the namo of ".I. L. M. irby" for "lt. L. Irby." One other point and I am done Gov ernor Tillman says in bis letter: ?'I hopo you understand by this time that tho struggle is not ono botweon prohibition and tho dispensary, but a strugglo be tween tho dispensary and tho liconso systom,which wo have jnstovorthrown." In reply, 1 answer that tho friends of the dispensary wore gonorally united at tho beginning of tho strugglo in tho Leg islature against the saloons, and aro now united in a tixod purpose to provont their restoration, us all agree that tho dispensary is a loss evil than tho bar room. Dot cannot any intelligent man see t hat the ardent friends of the disponsary regard the prohibition option of tho Dis pensary Act, and prohibition counties protected by it, as obstructions to tho disponsary systom and that a triangular contest Is initiated, in which these aro sought to bo wiped out':' Tlieso ardent friends have boasted loud and frequent* ly, "That tho Disponsary Act is a long stop towards prohibition ?" Does this stop requiro first that every vestago ot prohibition In tho State shall he destroy ed? Is tho Dispensary Act a schoolmas ter to educate the people for prohibition? If so, When counties declare by popular vote that thoy uro ready to make the step j to prohibition shall theso avdonL dispon sary people throw obstructions in tho | way and say. ".You shall not mako the , stop, for you are antagonizing tho dis pensary and aiding tho bar rooms?" j Havo not a Mil file lent number of conn- i ties adopted tlio dispensary^ as wo fully anticipated they would, to make the ex periment;! with the samo irunulad laws to protect alike the disponsary counties and prohibition counties against "blind tigors?" I insist, tlien, that tho experi ment shall proceed fairly and impartial ly, and lot us soe what will come of it. A.C. Fri.i.ia:. No porson should travel without a box of Ayer's Pills. As a safe and speedy remedy for constipa tion and all irregularities of the stomach and bowels, they havo no equal, and being skillfully sugar coated, aro pleasant to take, and long retain their virtues.
