The State Pair The coming State Fair is now io view of its nearness beginning to exoie considerable interest. The great neces sity for Columbia to do something &f once towards arranging for tbo the enter* tain nient of the visitors, and the calling of the initial meeting of the fair associa* tion for that purpose, was mentioned yesterday. Now comes the secretary of the State Fair Sooiety with the following interest ing announcement, directed to The State : "Now, since the unprecedented po litical excitement has to a very great extent subsided, I beg to say that all who earnestly desire to assist in the material interests of the State to give their attention in arranging to become exhibitors at the approaching State Fair, November 7th to 11th. "The various railroads running to Columbia have done more than any one class in making our annual fairs suc cessful : without the liberality of these lines the fairs would have been a fail ure. To them, therefore, the thanks of the public are due. "My connection with the State Fair since its organization in 1859, except during the war and for two years there after, enable me to be cognizaut of the difficulties that ;have been surmounted in reaching the success of which every true South Carolicsn should be prood. "These annual gatherings bring our people together from all sections of the Stale to compare one with another the j products of the soil and the stock raised in the various sections of out State. Aud it is here that our people be come better acquainted with each other, and a 'strong bond of onion is thus fre quently formed that ends only in death. Then, let us, with renewed effort, be prepared to give one week to the en joyment of this festal occasion. And especially .is the State Fair cal culated to do good after the angry strife of this year. No kind of politics can, of itself and in itself, promote South Carolina's substantial growth. The State does not need the orator's elo quent tongue or the politician's prom ises. She needs (he opulent returns of wcrkmnnship and farm. Her heroes now in demand are the heroes of foun dries and the sovereigns of soil. So let us, friends aud fellow citizens, have a rousing State Fair. Let us be up and doing and see to it that South Caro lina shall not lag behind in the material march of the day. Let her head the industrial column and make good her old motto; "Prepared in coarage and resources" to meet the time in which welive. She met the time of war; let as, Heaven help as, meet the times 1 of peace. "Thomas W. Hollowat." "Pomaria, S. C, Sept. 10,1892." - ir ?il I1 ? A Texas Farmer's Discovery. A farmer in Texas writing to his county paper, gives a pian for preserv ing corn fro??i -be attacks of weevils which is so pimple and inexpensible arid yet. according to this report, it is extr3ordiuiiii!y ?.{Lciivc that we th?nk it our duty to report it for the benefit of our farmers on the sea island and in the low-country generally who are troubled with the same insect pest. After s'ating that for many years his own corn had been more or less ruined by weevils and that the annual loss to Texas from their ravages is not less than a million dollars, the writer says : "Last fall, in patting ap my corn, I placed two open bottles containing bisulphide of carbon four feet apart on the floor of the biu. The mouths of the bottles were covered with a single layer of cheese cloth and each bottle covered with an old broken box. end the bin filled to its utmost capacity The result of the expriment was highly successful. What live weevils were admitted from the fields were destroyed and no others appeared. Thus, at a cost of fifty cents, with very little trouble I effectually protected five hundred bushels of corn from the I weevils. Another feature about this experiment is that I have noticed neither mouse nor rat in the bin, nor ! ! any traces of them, which was not the ! caic before, for in previous years they ! too had done ?rea.< damage to the corn." J That h all of the story as we found ! \i cr.d we give it for what it may be j j worth. No plan could be simpler and ' j less troublesome, or more effective as I I claimed and^the cost is tritiir:^. 50 cts. ! worth of it protected five hundred bush els of corn, this is at the rate of one cent for every ten bushels, which is as cheap insurance as even the poorest j uiau couid a^k?News snd Courier. j A Cause xor Kicking. _ Columbia, Sept, li.?The intcr ! State case at Spartan burg presents some 1 interesting features. Governor Till ? man h;j5 received no report from the sh.?rilf at that point, but tonight he got a letter from Governor Holt, of North Carolina, outlining the status of tbo case of the boy Kobert G. Gibbs, who ! is under arre3t at Spartanburg. The j boy's brother makes affidavit that last I Saturday Gibbs was forcibly taken from J his residence in Polk county, N. C , under a warrant issued by Trial Justice Lam bright, ?-f Spartanburg county, j Oooetal.c Fisher, in arresting iLo boy, va? accompanied by a posse, who !

Gibba claims that j he acted iu sef-defeace. Gibbs' brother j implores Governor Holt "to interpoee j the legal power and authority of your ; office iu behalf of him and protect the ' toy from too abuse au i ill-treatment <?f i tuhuman men," and adds : "The boy was taken from his place of residence without any known authority or warrant issued in the State of North Carolina. When he demanded of the constable by what authority he arrested him and to show his papers he was answered by one of the po8?e that 'the 'papers were stamped down in the guns for you.'" A letter is appended from Trial Justice Lambrigbt, in which he says: "The constable had no right to make the arrest in your State and bring ?im across the line. I have referred the case for a hearing to the city of Spar tanburg to avoid any conflict which might arise from tho feeling existing in this vicinity.*' Governor Holt is investigating J;he case.?Greenville News. Cleveland and the Farmers, Id 1888, when Cleveland was a can didate Tor re-eleotion to the presidency, the very farmers, alliance-men and third party men who are now abusing him were throwing up their hats for him. lion. Thomas E. Watson, who is now so denunciatory of the groat demoor&tio leader, was then a Cleveland elector and was championing him before the people with all the eloquent enthusiasm of his nature. In nohing their change of front it is well enough to bear in mind that since that time Mr. Cleveland has not been in public office, and has not promulgat ed any new political creed, nor with drawn from any system of public policy which he then upheld. The change, therefore, must have been on the part of the farmers, and ailiancemen them selves. Mr. Cleveland has never been unfriendly to the farmers or the alli ance. His attitude toward the farmers' alliance is a matter of record. Tue following letter, written as late as two years ago, gives the views of Mr. Cleveland. It is written in reply to the enclosure of a copy of the declara tion of tho alliance in a letter from tLe secretary of an Ohio suballiance : March 20 1890. J. A. Hill, corres ponding secretary Oak Grove Lodge, No. 22. Near Steubenville, 0. Dear sir: I have .received your letter, ac companied by a-copy of tho declaration of principles of the farniers's alliance. I see nothing in this declaration that cannot be fully endorsed by any man who loves 'his country : who believes that the object of our government should be the freedom, prosperity and happiness of all our people, and who believes that justice and fairness to all are necessary conditions to its useful administration. . It has always seemed to me that the farmers of the country were specially interested in the equitable adjustment of our tariff system. The indifference they have shown to that question and the ease with which they have been led away from a sober consideration of their needs and their rights as related to this subject have excited my sur prise. Struggle as they might, our farmers must continue to be the purchasers aud consumers of the^n umber less things en hanced in cost by tariff regulations. Surely they have a right to say that this cost shall not be increased for the purpose of collecting unnecessary reve nue or to give undue advantage to do mes.;c manufacturers. The plea that our infant industries need protection, which thus impoverish es the farmer and consumer is in view of our natural advantages and skill and the ingenuity of our people a hollow pretext. Struggle as they may, our farmers cannot escape the conditions which fix the price cf what they produce them selves according to the rates which pre vail in foreign markets, flooded with the competition cf countries enjoying a j freer trade than we. The plausible presentation of the | blessings of the borne market should j not deceive our depressed and impover- ! ished agriculturists. There is no home j market for them that docs not take its j instruction from the seaboard, and the $ seaboard transmits the word of foreign j markets. B?casse my conviction that there f should be a modification of our tariff laws arose principally from an apprecia tion of the want3 of the vast army of consumers, comprising cur farmers, our arisaus, and our workmen, and be cause their condition has led me to pro test against the present imposition, I am especially glad to see theso associa tions of fellow countrymen arousing ?hemselves to the importance of tariff reform. Yours very truly, GROVER ClSVKLAND. ?Augusta Chronicle. Tillman is a Democrat. Washington, D. C.Sopi. 12.? The people's party folks are greatly i dissatisfied with the situation iz Sou! h | Carolina.

The Second Season of To bacco. Nearly forty thousand pounds ! That mach tobacco was on the floor of the big Florence warehouse at the grand break on Tuesday. It is not often that such a large quantity of to bacco is sold on even the old warehouse floors in one day, and it was a surprise to the most sanguine in this vicinity when the heavily loaded wagons began to roll up to the warehouse on that day in an almost endless stream. There were a number of visiting to bacco men and planters from nearly every oouuty in the State where tobac co is grown, besides many fron North Carolina. The addition to the warehouse has not been completed yet, but the floor space was demanded and every inch of available space was utilized. There were nearly 500 piles of tobac co on the floor when (he sale was com menced. All of the old buyers, as was expect ed, had returned, and besides there were many new ones in the field. There will be no lack of competition here this season. Tho success of tho market is assured. The buyers present were: Will How ard, of Danville, Va ; F. M. Rodgers, John Bowles, Sam Miiiner, John Cole man, and W. M. Failon, or Danville; H. M. Pinniz and Charles Flemmiog, of Wilson, N. C ; John L. Hickey, Danville ;-Ferrell, Wilson, N. C ; R. A. Croxtoo and II. C. Crute. Mr. J. G Slaughter is expected to arrive this week. The American Tobacco Company's man has not yet arrived, but is expected every day. Among the visitors were Editor Har mon of the Southern Tobacco Journal, and Cap*. J. R. Hutchins, warehouse man of Durham, N. C. Among the planters from outside of the county were !~*. F. Johnson and W. Stackheuse, of Duion; J. II. Manning, Little Rock; C. B. Edwards, Gen. James, R. M. Nettles, Capt. Paul Whipple, Dass Lewis, D. M. Smoot, Messrs Dargan, Hayncsworth, and others from Darlington; D. V. Keels, of Sumter; W. Byre, of Williamsburg; P. L Breeden and Dr. Woody, of Bcn nettsviiic ; and many others, some from Kershaw and some from as far South as Barnwell. Editor Harmon, who has seen as many sales of this year's tobacco as anybody else within a three day's jour ney, says that the South Carolina tobac co will compare favorably with any other, the crop this year is poor every where, and the prices as good as he has seen anywhere else. The weight this year is light, nearly 25 per cent lighter than last year, but tho color as a rule is good, and the cur ing and grading is somewhat better in some instances. As a rule the tobacco brought in was of the first picking, nothing but sand lugs, which was vexations from tho fact that there were so many strangers here and it was desired to make as good showing as possible on this first break. The prices obtained, however, were very satisfactory as a rule, some tobac co selling as high as 50 and 51. The average was about ten cents a pound, which was a remarkable average for snob a low grade of weed. Mr. J. W. King, one of the new experimenters in the weed, sold some of his tobacoo as high as 31. The aver age for bis whole lot was 11 cents. This was Mr. King's own grading, his his first curing of his first crop and be is vey much encouraged. This tobacco ' was grown with the Pine Island fertil izer advertised by E. P. Pawley in the Times last spring. There was a seoond heavy sale yes terday of a better grade of tobacco and the bidding was lively, and the prices very good.?Florence Times. ? ? ?mi Good for Carolina, The News and Courier, with popular pride, calls attention to the faot that South Carolina leads the Sooth in the consumption of cotton for manufactur ing purposes. It recalls in the same J connection oar discussion with Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson, two years ago, when we maintained that Georgia was the leading manufacturing state in tho South. The report of Secretary Hester of the Now Orleans Cotton exchange, for 1302, which was published a few days ago, gives South Caro?ua mills credit, for consuming 18,000 more bales of cot ton than Georgia mills aru! 21 ,'JOO more than the mills of North Carolina. The latter state having shown the greatest in crease in consumption over the previous year. There had been a marked iucrcasc in the consumption of southern mills generally, the report showing that tho increase in the total for the pa~t year was !3?,- per ccer over 'last s::a:-on atid 25 per cent over the season before. From 336 mills at 'he eit?re of 1800 the total, including new, old >-.i.d idle, bas increased to 356, a:id today there arc 350 mills i:: operation, against 270 at the close of August, 1800, and 287 for the period in 1^01 The number of spindles in operation is now 1,998,? 580, an increase for the past season of 174 1)70, and a total gain sicco Septem ber. 1890, of 333,439. While there has been an increase greater or !c-s in number of bales by every state ou the list the greatest gain has been is North Carolina, which gain ed 24.500 bal PS, South Carolina 21,000, aud Goorgia 14,500. Wo cordially congratulate Carolina ou the fine showing made for her mills as consumers of cotton, and suggest ?hat since she has gotten this part of tho business along to such au advanocd J decree, it would be a good Idea for her to come over now and get a few point ers from our mills on the manufacture -*>f real first class cotton goods. As cot ton consumers Carolina mills are cer tainly great, but when ii 'mes to first class co ion m:.iiu;;;oturiug Georgia mills are the ones fjr our money. We are not disposed to dispute the figures aud bay that South Carolina millii io not consume more cotton ?hau Georgia mills, but as the report shows that Geornia has 57 cotton milla aud Carolina only 40, when it comes to the question of which is. the greatest cotton manufacturing stare we think it is a L'Ood deal like the u?c;sioa in the ne?ro am de mightyest, de pen or de sword ?" After the debate was over and the com mittee bad "sot" en the quention, they returned the following decision : "De oomrmttee decide dat de sword has de most pints an' de best backin', and de pen is de most beneficial, an' dat de who!-3 ting ia about a stan' off."?Au gust- Chronicle. -?I Cholera Notes. There was fearful mortality at Ham burg among the inebriates and free drinkers. A dispatch from Hamburg of t''-e 6tb inst. said : ' In the harbor district, in fact, the drunkenness among the unemployed has exceeded anything before seen here. Families spend their last coppers for liquors to stil! their hunger,and ap prehension." The clebrated Dr. Pasteur, of Paris says he baa discovered a cholera inocula tion thai after five dayi perfectly pro tects against cholera. The Paris correspondent of the New York Htrald has been inoculated by Pas?aur and gives a full account of it in the Herald. The London Limed tells its readers ' that after the present emergency shall have passed it will become imperative to prepare for the greater danger which will be present next year. This is a warning that by all means must be heeded. The cholera may be checked, kept in its present locality; but the deadly germs wiil only lie dormant ; they will not be destroyed by the com ing of winter." The Lancet is the highest English authority, we believe. Hussia is the enemy of Europe and America as to fell diseases. It sends forth its grip and its cholera to do the work of death.. We see that the cry now increases and with greater vehemence?clean up, clean up. The Charleston and Savan nah papers call out?"Clean the City." The News and Courier of Wednesday says : "Inspectors should be appointed to see to it that all premises are cleansed daily and heavy penalties should be im posed on every householder who fails to do his duty in this respect. The city authorities should also, as suggested, see that no stagnant pools of water are allowed to remain in the streets or va cant lots or yards, that every drain and sink is open, that every water closet and vault is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected, the water supply examined by competent chemists and the use of impure water forbidden." The market stalls and hucksters7 stands should like wise be carefully watched, all fruits, meats and vegetables inspected, and none that is unsolid or tainted be allow ed to be sold, but confiscated and carted out of the city. The duty of officials and citizens alike is to clean the city from center to suburb." There wiil be danger all through the winter and probably all through 1893. Put all the towns and cities in the best possible sanitary conditions and keep them so. There is nothing truer than the old saw that an ounoe of preventive is worth a pound of cure. The 4tSun" Cholera Mixture More than twenty years ago, when it was found that prevention of cholera was easier than cure, a prescription drawn up by eminent doctors was published in the Sao, and it took the name of the "Sun cbolora medicine." Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. We have seen it in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet devised. No one wbo has this by him, and takes it in rime w?l ever have the cholera. We commend it to all our friends. Even when no cholera is anticipated, it is an excellent remedy for ordinary summer complaints, colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, etc. Take equal parts of tincture of cay enne pepper, tincture of opium, tinc ture of rhubarb, essence of peppermint and spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose, fifteen to thirty drops in a litile cold water, according to age and vio lence of symptoms, repeated every fif teen or twenty minutes until relief is obtained.?New York Journal of Com merce. - I I > ?II % IM I Col. S. P. Hamilton, of Chester, S. C. says when he was a small boy in ISoO or 18o(>, that Asiatic cholera visited his father's planta:ion on the Carolina shore of the Savannah river, and that in a short time fifty negros died of the disease ; that his father removed all of his negroes to a pioey woods place twelve miles above where the disease was racing with such deadly effect. Col. Hamilton says all the sick recovered and the disease disappeared. Ho says that in 1850 or 1851 the disease again mado its appearance on the Savannah river, and that tho entire population, wa.s removed to the pincy woods belt, and that the disease was instantly arrested. In viewoi the alarm which i? felt about cholera reaching the Uuited States, Col Hamilton's reminder of forty or fifty years ago on this sub ject is valuable information. A Home Thrust. Mr. ? ? ag' In man advising curtail ment of the cotton crop says : The cotton buyer stands before vou with ?300,000,000 to spend. You can :jet that money for 5,000.000 bales as readily as you can for the 9,000,000. \ Therefore, when you see our farmers j raiting 4.000.000 more bales than they j need, and then sending $100,000,000 of the money they get West for bread stuffs, you can see where we are wasting money on our fields, throwing the balance away on Western products. "All this leads me to say," said Mr. Ionian in conclusion, "that we have the richest lands in the world, and that our j remedy is to cut down tho co;ton crop, j to put thai ex.; energy in raising our ! own bread stu?fs and live stock and to take the 3100.000,000 which we arc ! now sending Wett and put it away fur a rainy Jay.

It Is Intolerance. There is an admirable editorial m the current issue of the Abbeville South Carolina Press & Banner on the spirit of intolerance which ?3 now be* ing manifested towards town and city merchants by the fanners. Itcalls at tention to the fact that in the conn try hundreds of persons in need of money have been accommodated by citizens of the town, and "while they have paid interest, yet it is often a great accommodation to get what we want, even when paying for it. Although hundreds of unfortunate debtors have been, in the past, unable to meet their bills and pay their liens aud mortgagee, yet, 60 far as we know, says The Press and Banuer, not a single debtor has been pressed to the wall by any merchant. On the contrary, the merchants of the d?n?r ent towns have renewed the obliga tions and "carried" the farfeera io some instances, for years, thus incon veniencing themselves and imperil ling their own credit and their own estates. Besides this, there is scarce ly a merchant who has not loaned out goods on insufficient security, trust ing more to the honor and integrity of his customer than to the security, and there is not a merchant in our ac quaintance who has rot had reason to regret such act iu trusting some in dividuals, yet, as a rule, those who have failed to pay their just and hon est debts are sometimes most pro nounced in their intolerance of mer chants and bankers. Referring to local matters the Press and Banner says: Although the National Bank of Ab beville has yearly loaned the farmers of Ibis county sums of money about equal to their capital stock, 3ret the existence of that institution is re garded as a public calamity, and as a consequence the demand is made that its doors be closed. Although there is not a merchant in this town who has not advauced to the farmers money and goods far in excess of his own estate, yet the merchants are re garded as public enemies, deserving of no consideration. What is true of Abbeville a:<c the surrounding country is true in great measure throughout the section of country where the doctrine of pre judice against the town is being preached by socalled reform politi cians. Having used tho factors and merchant's money as long as possible under their ruinous policy of all cotten they now turn bitterly upon the men who have year after year been their bankers. There is no feeling of antagonism among city people against the country. They are business men and realize that the city is as depen dent on the country as on the city. This spirit of intolerance which seems so popular in the country, and which every countryman seems eager to nourish and promulgate among his neighbors, has no echo in the cities. Here the farmers will find their best friends iu the future as in the past, aud they should bear iu mind the old adage: "United we stand; divided we fall.?Augusta Chronicle. Wild Work of the Winds. Prosperity, S. C, Sept. 13.?This afternoon, about 3 o'clock, a tornado passed about six miles south of this place, destroying vegetation, forests and buildings in its traok, which fortunately was quite narrow. Its ooursc was from southeast to northwest. We Srst hear of it near Hendrix's mill, where it struck a cotton ?old, blowing cS the very bolls. We next hear of it about three miles from that point, where it struck the premises of Micbiei ;Sheely, tearing away one end of his dwelling aud doing other exten sive damage. About one mile from this place it struck the residence of John A Sheely, a good frame d ?elling,near Little Moun tain, which it tore into splinters. Mr. and Mrs. Sheely, were just getting home, and seeing the storm coming, ran to get the children oat of the house. They gaoeeeded io getting them all out except one. A part of two* rooms was left partially intact, and in one of these was the little girl, who was miraculous ly saved. The bedding and furniture is all broken and blown away. Every building on the place is blown away. The stables were lifted literal!} from the ground, leaving the mules unhurt. Two bales of seed cotton in the oot I ton house is all blown away. Five ; hundred bushels of seed oats were blown j awr-y and cannot be traced. It is - in deed miraculous that Mr. Sheely nor I any of his family were killed.

One day last week, in otter disregard of the protesta tions of his courtiers, he visited the cholera hospitals of St. Petersburg, made suggestions for the comfort of patients, and leaning over the couches of some of the patients, offered them words of good cheer and encouragement. In all this he was accompanied by the czarina, his wife, who maintained thai in whatever danger, her place is by ht? side. Some have censured the action of the czar as foolhardy and unwise, ta that so mach at this time d?pende opoa hie safety. Bat it wasa't foolhardy or unwise.
