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.

FOR COLLEGE EXHIBIT.
Supt. AlcMahan Urges a "College and
School" Day.
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,

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.

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.
