The State fair will he held in Colombia from Nov. 8th to 12th, inclusive, and it promises to be ^ afce of the most elaborately arr," ranged State fairs that has ever ~ been held.

Such appointments are of small benefit to the few negroes thus appointed, and are of very great injury to the masses of the negroes in the ill feeling engendered between them and the whttes, upon whose friendship and good will they are wholly depend eni.** A Ml T. A. Jackson, of Geor k- >fie, claims to have a new variety p ; of cotton. The stalks are from \ eight to ten feet tall, and the yield la from two four bales per acre. *>. cotton seems to be an eniire Ijroew variety. It is limbless and f-\ ) the bolls grow close to the stalk L ..., from the ground to the top. Ex.porta who have examined it - ~ any that in texture it is equal to the sea island cotton, and when it b' la generally grown, that is, when epoogh is planted to make it an oltject, the price will be much more than that of the ordinary cot' too. Mr. Jackson's address is Box Slf, Atlanta, Ga. It would be well for our Williamsburg farmers to experiment with this cotton. Governor EUerbe has issued a < proclamation removing the metropolitan police from the city of Charleston. Today is the last day of the infliction upon the city and there is a great rejoicing as a consequence. We believe that Gov. Ellerbe's decision in the matter will meet with the approval of all good men throughout the State. The metropolitan police did not en force the law in Charleston any better than the regular city police, and the couucil was without any authority whatever. We repeat it: Governor Ellerbe's action in Jhe matter, though tardy, will meet with the approval of all good bmo throughout the State. Here is a piece of advice from I he j Greenville . ews to farmers: A number of our contcnipora-1 ries are gravely debating I be que*- < 1 ir>n of selling or holding cotton.! It is a subject that they know | nothing about. No newspaper! ?vi>r L'nrivii ivlipn it i ; imlici'iiis to! sell cotton and when it is more profitable to hold it. The man who markets his cotton as quickly as lie can after he ^etsj it out of the field and ginned saves insurance and interest. The man who holds his cotton speculates. Speculation is always costly As a general rule it js t he part of coin nion sense for a farmer to convert | his cotton into cash as soon as I practicable. What cotton will be ! worth a few months hence is guess work. The number of newspapers pub lished in the world is estimated at about 50,000, of w hich about 21,000 are published fti the United States and Canada. And yet some editors write as though they think there are none to equal Ihem. As Brother Shaver, of the Daltor, Cia., Argus, well says : "Don't be carried away with the idea that you are the smallest man in town, and the biggest man in the State." A sage once remarked that "only the wise can profit by the experience of others, a fool has to find out for himselt what tire is." "My boy came home home from school one day with his hand badly lacerated and bleeding, and suffering great pain," says Mr. E J Schall with Meyers Bros' Drug Co., St Louis, Mo. "I dressed the wound and applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely. All pain ceased, and in a remarkably short time the wound healed without leaving a scar. For wounds, sprains, swellngs and rheuraatfsm I know of no medicine or prescription equal to it. J consider it a household necessity." The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Dr. Wallace. The queerest trade yet heatd of was made in CharJott6, N. 0., according to the News, between a sewing machine agent an undertaker. The agent bantered the undertaker for a trade. The undertaker told him he had noth ing to swap except coffins. The agent proposed that he swap a coffin for a sewing machine, and the trade was then consummated. The young man who got the coffin has something of an elephant on hi*, hand aa he does not expect to have any personal use for some years to come. But he has about concluded to settle the matter by raffling the coffin ofT.
