Wa are requested, however, to say i ,J<hat the supper trill certainly come off, Thurs 4?/aight, 20th instant, at Mason's Hall. The ' foblic are respectfully invited to patronise it. ?? * - Gambling. ? T?.~- We are pleased to learn that all the gam : hiing schemes that have heretofore been yennitted on the Fairgrounds in Columbia ?re new prohibited. That was certainly a ??~ more in the right direction.-EzcJuinge. that tot We thought we saw about - twenty-five ia full blast there last week. The greatest attractions on the grounds were'the gambling tables, and our neighbor's congratu iatioas are entirely too previous. A Little Quarrel. Wa bear through private sources that the Xditer of the Clarendon Enterprise had a little raiH the other day with one of the town I authorities, of Manning. If oar friend keeps on be win make himself as big a reputation aa teether Henry of the Wadesbor o InUttigen * esr, who, if be does'nt have at least one fight ' each week, time bangs heavily on his bands. 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. Abowt two yearn ago, Frank Stepney, a - flpf?irf man on the DeSanssure place, 20 suites above Sumter, was murdered by Scipio IHckersoo. The murderer escaped but was Arrested in Columbia last week and identified ky our. Sheriff elect, Marion Sanders, Esq., an? brought over the next day. {Thanksgiving Day. - Let every one remember that Thursday, ?Tth instant is Thanksgiving Day. We trust that ail onr people will unite in its }tfSfr and sincere observance. Merries have been showered upon ns threegb all the jeir, and. as a crown upon j; i oar political deliv Thanksgiving Bay? 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 &j ooe could ?ee by his premiums. 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.] Mayesville Items. MAYESVILLE, S. C., November ll, 1884. Mr. Editor : The election passed off very quietly; our town is exceedingly quiet, for Marshal J. C. Rhame keeps a sharp lookout and has brought everything to the joint fi act ion of a confunctionary (What is that? -Ed.) The U. S. flag is floating in the breezes of Heaven and looks ten times more lovely no?v that we have a Democratic President. Mrs. T. D. Foxwortb has returned home from her visit to Wedgefield. Mrs. Dixon of Marion, is here visiting relatives and friends. Rev. J. Howard Carpenter has moved into the house recently vacated by Mr. S. D. Pierson, rn the Eastern end of town. Mr. Pierson has moved to the parsonage of the Brick Church, one mile and a halt away. The Ladies' Aid Society will give a hot supper for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church, next Thursday. It will be an ex? ceedingly tony affair, and Duggan asks that all his friends participate in the enjoyment of the occasion. Come and both recieve and do good. ? Cotton is looking up, and so is the dust. "Fightings without and fears within Sioce we assembled last." _ DUGGAN. Count us In. Kingsland & Heath keep a nice line of Silver Plated Goods, so cheap that it is a shame to use the old rusty spoons and knives. Nice Crockery and China; Dice goods for weddings; mighty nice Baby Carriages cheaper than ever brought out before. Bas? kets, Lamps, Hanging Lamps, extra cheap. ---crnmm "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. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
