W KD ESD A Y, OCT. 23. 1895 The Colored Industrial Fail?Pa kers in Attendance. From the Daily Item, October 17. The crowd at the fair grounds last night was larger than the pr?tions night. A survey of the household and mechanical exhibit is very entertaining and we heartily commend the efforts of our colored citisene in this direction. After passing through the exhibition ball out iato the arena you come in contact with the wheel of fortune and other things of the same character. We were assured last year that the last named feature would be elimi rated from the fair grounds this year, but it is there. We had purposed criticising this particular feature of the fair in to-day's issue, bot ba?e been requested to withhold our criticism, as 8teps are to be taken to-day to eradicate this nuisance. A: the Industrial Fair last night, Bon. Robt. Smalls made a speech. Bis subject was, * ? **tjte; ! Constitutional Con ven rio " His audience was not a very large.or ehthu s?astic one. A Fair or a Fake. Scuter, S. C, Oct. 18 18S5. Editor Ita*: Your criticism of the gambling feature of the Colored Industrial Fair in yesterday's issue? was just and timely. I intended at ite opening this year to publicly express my dis approval, but did not, beyond what I said from my pulpit last Sunday. In fact, I bad hoped that from what I then said the man agement would have been induced not to per mit it, but ? reckoned without cay host. The reasons that prevented my allowing myself to be the first, to criticise the man agers of the fair through the press are several and are regarded by me as being good ones. If need be I can give theo. 'Tis a shame and ? disgrace for the stockholders (nearly, if not all of whom are church members), to gutject our people, especially our girls, to the sight of professional gamblers plying their voca tion publicly on "The fair grounds, and our boys to the temptation offered them to start on* a downward career. What makes me feel it the mofe keenly is, that this fair asso ciation was organised at Emmanuel Church for the uplifting of the colored people, and Dow it seems as if the livery of heaven Was used to serve the devil in. Nearly everyone of the stockholders of the association is a personal friend of mine, some' of them intimate friends. . I am exceedingly , sorry to bave lo pen these tines/ but I feel that I must, on behalf of the ministers of Sum ter, whose sentiments! express, protest in the name of God against this speciee of open immorality. I feel that the city coun cil is as blameworthy as the fair association. By permitting this gambling?bossed by a white man who purchased the privilege, and who has as bis customers boib while and colored?the council (or whoever U res pon fibleforit), has done the citizens, and es pecially the colored people, more barm than ifit had through carelessness permitted small pox or yellow fever to be brought into our midst. C C. SooTT, Pastor Emmanuel V. E. Church. Daily Item, October 18 The gambling at .the Fair grounds last night was done inside the building. The fakirs say tbey did not do a very large busi ness. Why were these men allowed to carry on their business after the police had positive instructions to prohibit it, tB the question we would ask ? It seems to us that if the officers had definite instructions, tbey should have been there to see that tbese instructions were carried out. Between Hamlet and Sumter. Secretary Duncan, of the railrond com mission, has received a letter from Gen er?! Manager Keuly, of the Coast Line. In it he says: "After carefully considering the many requests from the citizens along the line and your two communicatioos on the .subject we have decided to restore the passenger train jervice between Bam'et and Sumter, making connection at ihe latter point with ocr trains Nos. 52 and 53 This train wHI.be put in service on the 19*h ke'.aot and will rao daily except Sunday. This passenger train was discontinued because its operation was un profitable, and in restoring it I trust the citizens along the line will bear this fact in mind and endeavor to give it sufficient pat ronage to at least pay its operating expenses " If Troubled with Rheumatism Bead This. Absapous, Md., Apr. ?6, 1894 ? I bave used Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheuma tism and found it to be alt ?hat is claimed for it.

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING. Speeches by Geo. W Murrey, R. H. Richardson and Others. The mass meeting of colored people adver tised for Saturday, brought to th?city a large crowd of negroes. Tbe brass band from Rafting Creek came in to furnish the music tor the occasion. , . At half-past twelve o'clock '.he band struck up a tune at tbe corner of Main and Repub lican streets Tbe crowd soon gathered, and the band, speakers and people marched to the court bouse square. Robbin Richardson, of Wedgefieid, stepped to tbe front, and in a pathetic tone of voice spoke for about five miontes on "Tbe Unconstitutional Conven tion," and concluded by introducing Geo. W. Murray. Murray spoke on tbe same line of his former speeches?'the abrogation of tbe liberties of his race"?and succeeded at times is enthusing bis bearers. Tbe object of tbe meetiog is to collect money to push the registration cases now pending in tbe supreme court. When the speechmakiog was finisbed, then the collec tion was taken, out if Murray gets enough to pay for bis bando i ils, we don't know it. ? ? A Household Treasure. D. W. Faller, of Cannjoharie, N.
