Th? first Greater South Carolina State Fair will be held on tho new grounds recently purchased by the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and which have been lUted up with all modern Improvements for the comfort and convenience of both ex hibitors and visitors. This will be the thirty-sixth Fair since the rcorganiza tlon of the Society after the civil war, and will be held the last week in Oc tober, from the morning of the 26 th to the evening of the 28th. Every county In the State should be represented In the exhibits, for there Is no doubt but what great good resultH to all the exhibitors at every Fair, the premiums being only a small part of the benefits. A great many farmers and stock breeders count only what prizes are won, but this should not be the case, because the greatest benefits are obtained In advertising what you have for sale and in meeting with the progressive men from other sections of the State and obtaining their Ideas and seeing the results of their methods. The management of the Fair is making every effort to secure new exhibitors. Arrangements have been made by which freight charges are paid on all exhibits from this State, free stalls are provided for stock, and free bedrooms are furnished all ex hibitors who are willing to stay on the I grounds all the time. * Numerous res taurants on the grounds furnish meals at all hours of the day or night at reasonable prices, and feed for stock Is delivered right at the stalls at the regular market prices, and besides, there are officers who look after all exhibitors and see that every one is satisfactorily located. All exhibits may be shipped directly to the grounds, for there Is ample side track provision for all the cars. Solid cars should be billed "Secretary State Fair, Columbia, S. C, care Fair Ground Tracks," and they will be rushed right through to destination. Some exhibitors may think they can not make their entries properly, but Secretary Lsve will take pleasure In giving all necessary aid, provided ap plication Is made to him prior to 10 ?'clock Tuesday morning, as the Fair opens at that hour and no entries can be made later. All exhibitors of live stock should arrive on the grounds not later than Friday or Saturday before the Fair, so as to get the stock quiet after shipping and get them to eating well before being put into the show ring. The premium list is very liberal this year, and it is to be haped that the management will n?eet with success in inducing a very large number of new exhibitors to attend the Fair, so that the Fair will become repre sentative of every section of the State and of all the resources of Carolina. Information and premium lists will be cheerfully supplied upon application In {person or by letter to Secretary Love at Columbia. Let all Who are thinking of exhibiting, or who have fine products or stock, make up*thelr minds right now to exhibit, write for a premium list and then make their entries at once. Join the procession that is making this State one of the best in the country. HOW TO CURE COHNS AND BUN IONS. First, soak the corn or bunion in warm water to soften it; then pare it down as closely as possible without drawing blood and apply Chamber lain's Pain Balm twice daily, rubbing vigorously for five minutes at each ap plication. A corn plaster should bo worn a few days to protect it from tho shoe. As a general liniment for sprains, bruises, lameness and rheu matism, Pain Balm is uneqtialed.

The fitnte Agricultural and Mechani cal Society purchased one hundred acres of level land in the southern part of Columbia last spring on which to hold its annual South Carolina State Fairs. This change was made neces sary because the old grounds were too small to accommodate the large num ber of exhibitors and visitors who an nually attended the great fairs, and tho 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 the transportation lines than the old grounds were. The dis tance is less than a half mile from the new union depot, and the grounds are reached by several fine roads and by the street car lines,'and no trouble will Be experienced in handling the large crowds that are sure to visit Columbia. Visitors will find everything brand new this year. The buildings are all modern In construction, large, airy, and com fortable, all one story, with numerous exits and wide aisles. One building Is devoted entirely to the handiwork of women, and Is set apart from the other buildings so that the fair sex may en Joy themselves without interruption. Another building is devoted to the agri cultural exhibits and Implements, and another to the commercial exhibits. Then, the poultry building occupies a very prominent location and is very large and roomy. The live stock barns are so arranged that all visitors can safely and conveniently pass through all of them and see all tho stock at any time, and the management specially requests that visitors avail themselves of this opportunity. The regulation mile race track Is lo cated in the southern part of the grounds, and Ib a beauty. The races may be viewed from the Fair grounds if it be preferred to do so, but a large, comfortable grand stand Is located at the finish of the home stretch, where the races can be viewed to much better advantage and with more comfort. The quarter stretch is not separated from the grand stand, as was the case on the old track, but all are combined under one inclosure, thus Increasing the social part of the meet. The Midway or Pike Is located near the main entrances, and will be filled with all the modern shows and attrac tions, with wares from very part of the world, and with people from every part of the world. The uthletic grounds are located Just opposite the Midway, on tho other side of tho entrance. Here will be played two excellent games of football during Fair week. The railroads have offered very cheap rates on account of the first Greater State Fair, and thoy will run most convenient schedules from all sections of the State. In view of all the attraatlonB that have been ar ranged for, there Is no risk In saying that the large cr*wd of last year will be doubled this fall, and that this great gathering will be more easily ac commodated 'han in any former yenr. Every one ought to attend the only big fair and social event in the State. A JUDICIOUS INQUIRY. A well known (raveling man who visits the drug trado says no has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine) whether it was wanted for a child or for an adult, and if for a child thoy al most invariably recommended Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Tho reason for this is that they know thero is no danger from it and that it always cures. There is not tho least, danger in giving it, and for coughs^ colds and croup|it is unsurpassed.
