The city of Spartanburg is very much alive jnst at present in anticipation ol its giand Carnival and Street paradt to be held October 22nd to 27th. The Carnival committee on tradedisplay has made a partial canvass tc ascertain what business men will p .1 floats in the parade during the Carnival. Sixty have definitely promised and s-venty-live are expected. Ther. will be some out of town merchant; represented by floats. Several will Lo gotten up by the committee. It is suggested that the parade ma> take ,"la.e at night, in the glare ol toiehes, and under colored calcium lights. Anyway, it will be one of the main features of the Carnival.

Spartanburg will show up in all her glory during the Carnival. There will be a grand jollification during Carnival. APer consulting with the chairman of the committee on amusements, a called meeting of the Spartanburg Poultry Association was held, and af-1 ter discussion it W3S decided to have the annual Poultry Show during Carnival week instead of the holidays as heretofore. In keeping with the spirit of the Carnival management, it was decided that there should be no charges in <onneetion with the shew, the entering. cooping and feeding of the l^frds as well as admission to be without cost. To encourage those interested in the breeding of fine fowls in the county and to induce others from a distance to bring their fowls with them, the Association decided to ask the merchants of the city to contribute, from their 6tock, articles of merchandise, to be placed as special premiums, to b31 competed for by the exhibitors and pursuant to that decision Mr. J .J. Burnett went around to a few of the merchants Saturday and secured the j following specials, only a very few being seen and almost without exception conxributed liberally and enthusiastically. * Mortally Wounded. Kingstree, Special?An unfertunate ehooting scrape took place about six miles below this place at Fp^'s postoffice, late Saturday evening. Ic seems that Mr. A. L. Epps and Mr. R. J. Sports, both white men. had b~en to Kingstree selling cotton and both w nt home drinking. Some dispute arosbetween them and an altercation took place in which Mr. Epps wax sever~ly cut about the head and neck. It se?m;j that tk > affray took plac near Mr Sport's home, whi h is only a short *' 1 - ' Vl 011 CO and OJSiance lruru ini. ei|>i<o l\1r.

Special.?Congressman Wm. L. Sulzer received a telegram 4rom W. J. Bryan, asking him to accompany him on his Western tour.

A few days ago mention was made of a plan on foot to have Friday of State fair week made a great "college" and "school" day. The following circular recently sent out from the office of the State superintendent of education to the county superintendents and the city superintendents, will probably result in adding to the Stite fair a most interesting attraction. Dear Sir: I wish to call to the attention of the school officers and teachers the possible benefits of making at the State fair an exhibit of public school work. Of course, the best results of the work of the schools can not be represented in an exhibit; little chb be shown besides manual work, ar.d this is being done in very few schools in our State. Nevertheless, an exhibit can be made that will be of value in its suggestivoness?such work as globes, maps, drawings, paper cutting and folding, etc. If any school wishes to contribute to the exhibit, the teacher is requested to communicate with me at once. Very truly yours. JOHN J. McMAHAN. State Supt. Education. The esxhibits that are assured are drawings made under Prof. J. Win. Pattison of the Chicago Art institute; drawings made in the county summei schools of the following counties; Anderson. Fairfield, Florence. Green ville, Laurens, Newberry, Orangeburg. Richland, Sumter and York; physical apparatus and specimens of manual work made at the Scale summer school under the direction of Prof. V"m. C. A. Hammel of the Maryland State Normal, Baltimore; maps and globes made at the State summer school by the pupils under Supt. E. L. Hughes of Greenville. It is expected that Supt. Hughes will make a very full exhibit of this kind of work done by the pupils in the Greenville city schools. Mr. McMahan has also been endeavoring to bring about the attendance of college students and school children upon the fair, on a day to oe kr.own as "school and college day." He has lately returned from a visit to Greenville and Spartanburg where the plan met with encouragement. The purpose of this gathering will appear in the circular following, which was sent to the members of the State board of education. The plan may not. however, materialize, as the authorities of the State fair association have not yet consented to the free admission: Columbia. S. C.. Sept. IS. 1900. Dear Sir: I have been thinking that popular interest in education may be stimulated, and the average man's . knowledge of the work cf the school system enlarged, if we should have at the State fair an exhibit of work dona in the schools?drawings, compositions. etc.?and should also have a "School and College Day." when there would be a parade of faculties and stu uciits Ui cuiicstm, auu icaiucio auu pupils o? schools, in bodies. This "College Day" was suggested to my mind some years ago. in connection with the visits of Clemson. Winthrop, and the Citadel to the fair (although not all at the same time). Suppose all of the State colleges should come at the same time-suppose all of the private colleges, for women as well as for men, should also come, what a grand aud inspiring sight for the crowds that gather here for the fair! Add to these some leading city schools and some country schools, and the display would set before the eyes of the people in a most impressive manner the greatness of the educational work that rests upon the people of the State. I think this kind of spectacular effect, although it may in one sense seern cheap and without direct bearing upon the betterment ot the schools, will be of special value at this time, just as country school celebrations and other school and college commencements have been instrumental in awakening the interest of the people of the communities and directing attention to educational matters, which the average man js likely to give no thought to. \\> wish the legislature to make an appropriation to the public schools to supplement the constitutional taxes. This is a necessity, now that the last legislature has diverted the dispensary profits from the schools?unless we are to let the school ternj be shortened and the scnoois ran in otner respects Deiow tne standard of recent years. Let us then concentrate public thought upon the school question. School children can ill afford the expense of attending the fair. Vet with an excursion train to return the same day. there would be a very low rate, and a majority of pupils?from r.oarby towns at least?wouldseize the opportunity to attend. There would doubtless be a good representation from almost every large school, even as far off as Anderson. Greenville and Charleston. I feel, however, that the fair association should admit these bodies free, thus affording an additional encouragement to attend. The fair will be the gainer by the success of this plan. The presence of so many students and pupils will bring relatives and friends from far and near, thus largely increasing the general attendance on the fair, and the revenues. Winthrop coliege give^ no Christmas holiday, and parents will come to the fair to see their daughters. Moreover, I . ' / Tjr . / SOl:TH CAROLINA CROPS. Tlie Gathering ol Crops Is Almost Over. The week ending 8 a. m.. Monday. October 1st. was again very hot. the temperature averaging over six de grees per day warmer than usual, ana hid a maximum of 98. nd a minimum of 55 degree3. the former at Blackrille. the latter at Cheraw. The week was rainless. The ground has again become too dry for plowing, and but little oats or wheat .seeding has been done, the work awaiting more favorable conditions for preparation and germination. The weather was uninterruptedly favorable for gathering crops. Corn is being hou ed, and now it n certain that less than half a crop will be gathered. Late corn is a complete failure. Cotton pi -king made favorable progres.-, and from half to seven-eights of the crop has been gathered. Yields ar# estimated at from half to nearly threefourths an average. Many correspondents state that picking will he practically completed by October 13th. which s unusually early, due to the cntinued abnormal best and dryness. There will be no top crop of any account. Seaisland yields are also light, and half has been gathered. Peas, sweet potatoes, upland r ce cane and hay are unusually poor, in many places failures, except that t few locilitie3 report an abundance of g for hay. Karly rice harvest is finished, and T" ? " * '?<* I' inonincr Tho ri<^? pron is I the only fine one cultivated this y.ar. Birds are destructive in the Georgetown districts. Turnips are coming up poorly, and in many places no stands have been secured. Stock water is scarce in places. The fall bean crop bids fair to be a partial failure. Notice: As the staple crops have reached maturity, and minor <rop.? are either ripe or gathered, ar.d the probable yields no longer subject to weather influences, the issue of these bulletins will be suspended with this number until the spring ef 1901. Correspondents will please^accept the thanks of the Weather Bureau in appreciation of their valuable weekly reports. The Georgetown Trouble. Georgetown, Special?The Georgetown race riot did not materialize The trouble arose Saturday evening when J. C. Scurry, a deputy sheriff, went into a harbor shop to collect delinquent taxes from a negro baiber. John Brornfleld. A dispute arose and words came to blows. In the scuffle that followed Scurry's pistol dropped from his pocket and was snatched up by the negro (Brownfield), who, In rapid succession, fired five shots at Scurry, fah taking effect in some part of his body. The negro then fled but was captured by a policeman and placed in jail. Scurry died at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Excitompnt ran hie-h for it was ronsid ered coldblooded murder. The coroner's jury was composed of white men. A rumor was circulated among the negroes that the white men during tho uight would ring the Are tell and when the negroes would ru h to their engines then the whites would run to the jail, take Brownfleld cut and lynch him. This is exactly what the neg-oss did th'tme'ves about 7:30, and be "ore the bell was through ringing, by prei:? raugement. between 800 and 1,000 ne, grccs gathered around the ia-1 with guns and rines to protect, as tnty saw, the negro from being lynched. The lirging of the Are bell was accompanied by screams and vel s from.the negro women and children. Ma3'or W. D. Morgan, Sheriff Skinner and others went to the jail and tried to persuade them to disoerse, but th y told them flatly that they would not. Capt. S. M. Ward, of the Georgetown Rifle Guard-, called out his company, ard they have been und?r arms ever since. The Governor ordered several companies to the ?c?ne. and their presence seems to have had the effect of quieting the negroes. No further trouble is feared. 1 ? t Fatally Wounded. Greenville. Special.?Two white men named Granger and Johnson got into a difli ulty about sundown Thursday afternoon at the Mountain mill and opened fire on each other. Grainger h supposed to be mortally wound d and Johnson was slightly wounded. The cause of the trouble has not been ascertained. News Notes. Swollen rivers have flooded the country about Fort Worth. Tex. Burglars emptied the county safe at Merced. Cal., and locked County Treasurer Bambauer in the vault. Miners of the Coal Creek Company. Knoxviile.
