A Scared Correspondent.
Tbe Clarendon Enterprise bas a letter from
Furtos, with the following startling head
fines:
'"Kill the Damned Democrats.'-Four
Hundred armed Negroes attack the Managers
at Fulton, and Endeavor to Mob Them
Property Destroyed."
? We are inclined to think that the writer
was one of the bombarded Democrats, and
had not got over bis scare when the letter
wat ?ritten._
Caught.

THE STATE FAIR.
The officers of the Company and the people
in Colamb?a were mach pleased with tbe out?
come of the Fair. The attendance was large,
the weather was fine, and, we suppose, the
financial balance was on the right side. The
exhibits in the live stock department were
remarkably good, and the poultry depart?
ment was also a success. We saw nothing
remarkable either in quality or quantity in
the field crop exhibit. There were some very
pretty things in the fine art and household
departments, and several merchants, jewelers
and others in Columbia had beautiful dis?
plays of their goods.
A type writer and several knitting ma?
chines, ali in operation, afforded amusement
and instruction to ns country folks who do
not see such things often But after all, the
success of the fair depended upon the side
shows, gambling tables and races, all of which
were said to be fine.
The premium list was quiteHarge, covering
nine columns in the Columbia Register. The
following is Sumter's share of the prizes :
Mr. W. M. Graham-pair matched horses,
open to world, 1st premium ; pair matched
mares, open to world, 2d premium ; pair
matches, one of each owned in Sooth Caroli?
na, 1st premium ; single harness horse, open
to world, 1st premium.
Mr. T. 0. Sander*-bread corn, 1st premi?
um; stock corn, 1st premium; field peas, 2d
premium ; pumpkins, 1st premium.
Capt. W. E. Delgar-Jersey cow, 1st pre?
mium.
T. E. Richardson-millet, premium recom?
mended.
M.s. W. R. Delgar-atzjar pickles; cu?
cumber catsup; ginger 2nd tomatto pre?
serves ; peach marmalade ; long hose, (knit?
ting;) tatting collars, premium for each.
Miss Susie Rembert-tidy, premium.
Mrs. J. E. Rembert-silk tidy, premium.
Miss Lula Suder-darned net dress, premi?
um.
The Colombia Register congratulates the
Society upon its success and says :
"The weather has been delightful, barring
the dust. The programm? of entertainments
has been arranged to meet the various tastes
of vthose who gather on such occasions, and
no accident or mishap has occurred to inter?
rupt the carrying out of every detail contem?
plated in the arrangements by those in whose
hands the direction has fallen, and so far as
the exposition of the resources of this State is
concerned, it may be safely said that it has
surpassed rn ali material respects any which
has ever been made in this State.
We believe that everybody's reasonable et
pectations have been fully met, and this
is about all that can be said."
A Drunken Fool.
Of course^be was a fool if drunk, and he
wasglorionsly drunk. He marched through .'ne
train crowded from end to end wita visitors
returning from the Fair, cursing, staggering
and frightening ladies half out of their wits.
He finally came to a halt near the front of a
car where several yoong girls were enjoying
themselves, and commenced a noisy and vul?
gar altercation with a gentleman who was
endeavoridg to quiet and silence him. As
we sat and looked at bim, the centre of a cir?
cle of confusion extending for several seats,
with frightened women and disgusted men
looking on, and knew that he was, when in a
normal condition, a quiet, industrious gen?
tlemanly man, we thought it was as strong a
temperance lecture as could be delivered.
We have no doubt but that every person
present shared with us a thorough disgust of
the result of whiskey drinking while on ex?
cursions. We believe that a mau who will
deliberately stupefy himself with alcohol on
such occasions, thus becoming a pest to hun?
dreds of others, should be severely punished.
Who that has ever travelled does not know
this nuisance loaded down with vulgar pro?
fanity, and the terror of women and chi] .
dren ? With no more self respect than a mad
bull, be is dreaded by all, and it does seem as
if some special penalty should be imposed
upon those who so unnecessarily deprive
their neighbors of all chance of enjoyment.
Cannot a spirit of accommodation take
possession of such men and induce them to
get drunk the day before the excursion, so
that when they take the train, a feeling of
remorse, which generally follows a toper's
debauch, shall keep them quiet during the
trip. Presuming that getting drunk is an
accomplishment that must be enjoyed occa?
sionally, we would ask that class whom we
are now criticising if it would not be more
sensible to indulge at home where their wires
or mothers could put them to bed, or, if it
must be done in public, in some town where
the police could take care of them, and put
them in their proper place, the guard house.
Sleeting of Temperance Workers.
In pursuance of a call made throughout the
press of the State, a number of Temperance
Workers from various portions of the State
issembled in Temperance Hall, Columbia,
?riday evening Nor. 14tb, 1884, at 8 o'clock
c*. Col. C. E. R. Drayton of Aiken, was
?lied to the chair, and Rev. H. F. Chreitz
i>erg, G. W.C. T. of I. 0. G. T. of S. C.
requested to act as Secretary. A resolution
offered by Rev. A. Coke Smith, that a roll be
made of the delegates present according to
bounties, was carried and it was found that
ten Counties were represented by 33 delegates.
A number of letters from absent friends
who could not be present, were read and
received as information.
The following resolution was offered by Mr.
K D. Stanley, reciting the necessity for a
State temperance organization :
Resolved, That such an organization be
now made for the State, with a central com?
mittee of five, with headquarters at Columbia,
whose duty it shall be to effect such plans as
?vii! insure a permanent State and County
organization.
After much discussion the resolution was
idopted. Rev. A. C. Smith moved that a
Committee of three consisting of J H. Elkins,
W. F. Rhameand T. B. Denton bc appointed
to nominate said committee; and the Com?
mittee reported the following gentlemen for
:be State Executive Committee: Rev. A. j
>ke Smith, J. A. Elkins, C. !>. Stanley, W. j
3. Cuttioo and Col. Jas. McCollough. Rev.
AL. Coke Smith offered the following resolu
ions which were adopted :
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Con?
vention that we ought to have a County
Local Option Law in this State, by which
he people of the whole Country may have
tn opportunity to vote for the expulsion of
be Liquor traffic from among them.
That the Executive Comroi'iee be charged
frith the drafting of a bill granting this priv
lege to the counties, said bill to be presented
:o the next session of our State Legislature.
Rev. W. C. Power moved that the Execu?
tive Committee be allowed to supply all va
;ancies in said committee which may ocenr.
The objects for which the Convention had
issembled having been accomplished it ad
ourned subject to the call of the State Execu?
tive Committee.
Fair Notes.
Miss Susie Rembert who received a pre
nium for a tidy is, as* many of our readers
know, totally blind.
Capt. and Mrs. Delgar received eight pre
niums, though the Captain got only oue
>f them. Mrs. Delgar sends a number of her
ir tides on to New Orleans.
Mr. W. M. Graham keeps up the reputation of
Sumter's horses. Talk about Blaine's mag?
netism, we think as soon as friend Graham
;ets behind a horse that animal is thoroughly
nagnetized.
Mr. T. 0. Sanders is a first class farmer, as

The Mayesville Liquor Controver?
sy-Finis.
MAYESVILLE, S. C., Nov. 15, 1884.
Mr. Editor: I would not thus consume
your valuable space with a subject, purely of
local interest but fora letter io your issue of
the 4th inst, signed by one of the members
of our Town Council.
First allow me to express ray appreciation
of the Press, and also gratification that my
article (signed Kube) in your issue of the
21st ult. has accomplished its aim. I regret
that private reasons demanded that for that
article I should use what the member terms
a "non deplume." (Perhaps he meant a norn
deplume.) I regret it because my signature
would have prevented his feeble insinuations
concerning my use of whiskey. In his at?
tempted defense, the member contends that
Council most wait for the performance of its
duty, till definite charges are preferred before
it. Concerning this there is a difference of
opinion among those who have studied the
subject, and as far as I can learn, the afore?
said councilman is one among a very small
minority.
Now, Mr. Editor, I say let us have no more
newspaper letters on this subject. I, for
one, ara done with lt. My purpose has been
accomplished. Let the good work go on. If
there be any more to be said, we who are
interested all live in the same Town and can
get t)gether some day and talk it over in a
friendly way, and even if my friend, the
member of Council, has not the influence
sufficient to secure me the position of "adviser
and counsellor" to the Board, my services to
bim individually arc alwavs at his command.
L. G. CORBETT.
[We agree with our correspondent that the
discussion in reference to violations of the
No-Licedse law in Mayesville need no longer
be discussed io the County papers. The error
in Mr. Strauss' letter which Dr. C. refers to,
was we think made in this office, and oar
devil is responsible, and not Mr. S.]

"Sleeping Love."
A fine steel engraving cf Peranlt's charm?
ing pictme, ''Sleeping Love," has been offered
by the publishers of Godey's Lady's Book to
every new subscriber to the magazine for the
year 1885. The plate is a very artistic one,
beautifully printed on thick paper of size
suitable for handsome framing. The subject,
a little dimpled Love, adorned with nothing
but his baby charms, is lying on a soft grassy
couch, fast asleep among the wild flowers,
his ronnd white limbs approaching the coo?
umbrage of a pond of water-lilies. One little
chubby hand rests lightly on his unstrung
bow, which is lying under bim, while the
other hand ?3 softly pressed upon his cheek,
the plump, fingers threading the wavy masses
of his floating hair. Under the right arm
and shoulder one little downy wing is snugly
tucked away, while the other peeps up from
the back with pretty suggestiveness. Over?
head are drooping, shadowy boughs covered
with rich foliage, and the background reveals
a deep perspective of cool forest stfade. The
picture is one of striking simplicity, yet
admirable composition, and the figure of
the "Sleeping Love" himself, with drooping
eyelids and softly parted lips that offsett the
rounded beauty of babyhood, is one of the
prettiest you could well conceive of. Messrs.
J. H. Haulenbeek k Co., proprietors of
Godfry's Lady's Book, have produced this
charming picture most successfully. It is
much admired by some of the most fastidious
connoisseurs.
"The Lion in Love."
The Premium Engraving issued by Peter?
son's Magaziae, for 1885, like eveything else
from that quarter, is of rare excellence and
beauty. It is not one of the cheap colored
lithographs with which the country is flood?
ed, but a first-class line and stipple engraving,
executed in the highest style of art. The
artists are Illman Brothers, and they have
engraved it-size, 21 inches by 27-expressly
for Peterson's Magazine, in their most brilliant
manner. The picture is called "The Lion
in Love," and is a capital affair: sure to
raise a smile. In artistic merit, it is, we
think, one of the finest "Peterson" has ever
issued. Another of the premiums is the
"Pearl of Price," an illustrated volume of
the American poets. Another is an extra
copy of the magazine, etc., etc. You cac
get any of them, gratis, by raising a club for
"Peterson" for 1885. This is a rare chance.
Specimens of the magazine sent, gratis, with
full particulars, to those wishing to get up
clubs, if written for. Address Charles J.
