Our good friend Chlldress furnished tho span of dashing chestnuts and drove us up ten miles in luxurious fashion. Gray Court is a fair and beautiful vil lago, with a splendid surrounding country and a typical thrifty, indus trious and intelligent population, all dcMjrmined to be abreast and leading in tho raco of progress of this progres sive oleotrlc age. So wo wout to soe and lonrn, and wero not disappointed. Wo had no time to tako detailed notes, but The Advertiser will get it all from Its intelligent local correspond ent. We can only deal In glittering generalitios and say that tho Fair was eminently a success. About 1500 peo ple woro on the beautiful grounds and all enjoyed the many attractions. The ladies' department was exquisite. needlework that would honor tho lin gers of Ponelopo, llowers and fruits that would embellish the gardens of the Hosperldes, cordials, preserves, jellies and innumerable delicacies that only tho daintiest fingers of tho love liest housewives could design. Tho agricultural exhibit was highly cred itable Everything that garden and field can produoeo was there artisti cally shown, from a balo of cottou to an ear of pop-corn, prolliic corn, bales of wheat straw, oats, rye, potatoes, turnips, hay und fodder, boautlful specimens evidencing the highest and most various culture Wo hesitato to discriminato, but among tho exhibit ors wo got tho names of George Dor roh. Glenn Fuller, W. P. Harris, J. T. Pedon, W. A. Putnam, J* D. Power, 11. Ii. Gray and many othors, among them tho oxhiblt of an old colored man, Andy Robertson, very crcdltablo indeed. He is a small landowner and his neighbors give him a high charac ter. There was a line display of colts and some good racing, attracting much attention. A fantastic, good show was 17 lads under 15 on a float, endorsed "prolific Gray Court," and drawn by four great oxen. The baby show we missed, but the girls won hands down, we wore told, and tho wearers of the blue are bound to wear them ass bellos in tho not dis tant future. The lads contested as horseback riders, Ml wero gallant chaps, but Tom Wargln, wo bolieve, was the four-year-old kid that one day may sit bis steed like a Hampton or Lee. As gracoful horsemen, (and they were as graceful as centaurs) Dr. Stewart and Mr. Samuel Coleman, of Fairvlow, di vided the honors. As with cavalrymen, the horse la more than half the cava lier. We are sorry that we have not space for fuller detivls of tho interest ing occasion. The generous neighbors furnished picnic dinners at their ve hicles during an hour's recess. Two * dozen gracious invitations greeted us and our deep regret is that we could not accept them all. But we had a dainty dinner and the most beautiful hostesses, whose charms|of conversation nearly took away our appetite. An old Laurens Mason, in old times, went to the burial of a brother, where a big dinner and good liquids wero served. Growing very convivial, ho said: "I wish one brother Mason die every week." And so the occasion was beautifully social and kindly, and we reluctantly took leave of a do- en of these hospitable Laurens families. Occasions like this are blessings in a social way, and particularly educa tional and improving for tho young and coming on generation And so thanks are returned to Gray Court and all that vicinity. Tom Pe den, Hugh Wallace, Ed Shell, James N. Loake and others deserve tho thanks of the county for two days of pleasure and profitable object lessons. Tho Schley Court of Inquiry. Dewey la presiding over tho Court investigating Schley at Santiago. Ho seems to be as prompt and decided as at Manilla?and while the fight among attorneys and oflicials is bitter and many questions knotty, Dowoy appears equal to any question. The prosecu tors "?ottid show that Schley was nerv ous, indecisive, timid or all, during the fight and tho campaign In and around the harbor: that the tight was won by tho commandora of vessols without the direction of any fleet commander. The result of tho Inquiry seems doubtful? but squints towards a conclusion that it was anybody's victory and tho coun try short a hero or blessed with half a score. But tho evidence all in, a fu ture gonoratlon may reach a just ver dict. Villainous prejudice will post pone it for tho present. Col. Wiley Jones. Col. Jones has been long and favora bly mentioned as a condldate for the United States Sonnto as tho successor of Senator MuLaurtn. Col. Jones now declines on account of Imporativo bus iness and in doing so suggests that tho several aspirants withdraw and leave the field to Senator Hampton. He be lieves the Democracy will overwhelm ingly return to the Senato the vene rator* hero and statesman. Whether the suggestion Is practicable or not, It does Infinite honor to tho heart of Col. Jones. , *?* The Stato Dispensary brought suit for $7,000 paid tho General Government for her whiskey sales. The contention was that the State Is fighting for the sobriety of her citizens. United States Commissioner, Yerkes, decides ad versely to this contention and classes tho Stato and all her people as ordina ry bar tenders. There is an appeal from Yerkes. In tho meanwhile a great Distillery is in course of const ruc tion at Columbia, in the shadow of the Great Moral Institution, the product to he sold to tho Dispensary. It will give employment to many people, who might otherwise be Idle and join the criminal classes. And thus our capital city will continue to grow. It Is n little bumptious or presump tions to advise to hold or to sell cotton. One man will guess as well as another about a crop worth some three hundred millions or moro. But it does seem to The Advertiser an auspicious time not to be In a hurry to sell. In the meanwhile, as there is no knowing, every man will follow his own in stincts. Miss Helen Htonp, an American ml sionary, has been captured by Turkish brigands, and held for a big ransom. Tho ransom must be paid, or she must marry one of the brigands, or suffer death. Tho Christian Powers might re-enact tho ten years invasion and siege for an earlier Helen and make it tho occasion of curing permanently the invalid Turk. Thus history would repeat itself as usual.
