The Entries in Nearly all Classes Equal? ed Those at the State Fair-A Show That Surprised and Delighted Everybody. From the Daily Item, Nov. 24. .The Live Stock show, like the Floral Parade, proved to. be greater in scope, more extensive in the num? ber or"partic:pants and altogether a greater success, than asyone anticipat? ed, or even hoped, i?, wooli be, or .. could be made^ Only .4b.ev &p?e, colt mule and po?? exhibits', were reac h ed this morning^? tbs. Judges, and they worked as hachas, any tb ree men contd possibly, work to. pass upon the merita of the,, many exhibits and to complete the - grogramme this morn? ing, but it was e. physical impossi? bility for thereto cb so, and the cattle and begs cotd-aV ,j>ot . be reached untl . this afternoon.*.. The display of fine horses, in erery cla.s, was magnificent; the exhibit of colts; mules and: home raised mule colts was so^laige xand the quality so superior that the fact was, carried home to the iatejl^ence of thethought ful men present, with the greatest possible forcer that this should be a stock raising cc?atry,'.that the people cf Sumter and adjacent. counties should not GE% raise-ali ci the horses and mules they seed for their own use? bot shouhlsapp ly other sections of the country instead of importing thousands of horses and mules an? nually. It was from first to last a magnifi? cent display of fine horses' the writer has never seen at the State Fair crv ^ eise where, *so many fine horses gathered together at one time. In every class there were a Jong list of entries anr pracically all cf the entries won!? attract favorable comment where va? shown. One of the most striking exhibit was that of the State Farms of tweD ty-four mule colts and twelve broor mares.

THE GOVERNOR'S OPINON OF FESTIVAL "The Livinp, Evidence of a Strong, Pros? perous and Patriotic Community Con? fident of the Strength of Its United Manhood. During his visit Governor Heyward was asked by the News and Courier cor? respondent for an expression about the carnival and said : . "This Festival in Sumter is the illustration of the civic prido of a South Carolina city. It is the living evidence of a strong, prosperous and patriotic community confident of the strength of its united manhood, and the glorious resources of the couutry which surrounds it. To be among the thronging thousands of Carolina men and women here, enjoying the gen? erous, the overflowing hospitality cf this San tee city, is to sound to its depths the full"and splendid meaning of the words 'South Carolina.' Not merely as your governor, but as a citi zen? would I deserve commiseration did I not rejoice in this magnificent outpouring and commingling of the people of Sumter City, of Sumter County, of all the neighboring coun? ties, and of all commnnnitiea in the State, with no thought of class dis? tinction or sectional division. The Festival is the convincing proof of good feeling among my people and the sure harbinger of growth for tbe rightly named Game Cock City of South Carolina." CAROLINA VICTORIOUS. Reid's Punting and the Two Goals From Placement the Only Features of the Game. Carolina's fine form gave her ? splendid victory Thursday over the boys from Washington and Lee Uni ver? ity by a score of 24 to 0. But for the wo kicks from placement and a few lasses, which resulted in long gains or Carolina around the ends, tb> .ame was totally devoid of spectacular laying. Carolina's back field moree ike clock work, every man gettim nto every play, and running a per feet interference. During the entire game the Caroli ians were never held for downs, am it wis only twice that they were fore d LO punt. Even then Foster an .IcKay, the two ends, would go dowr he field like deers, and either down he Virginian in bis tracks, or get pos ession of the ball on a fumble. The boys from Washington and Ls? rrived just in time for the game, ant cheir poor showing may partilly be at ributed to the long, tedious trip last? ag for thirty hours. .Only once was Carolina's goal ir anger, and that was caused by tbe ambling of a punted ball. The ful tack attempted a drop kick from tb? ; birty-yard line; the ball hit the ; :ross bar of the goal post, and a seor? ; f four points was narrowly avartec ; ?y a margin cf but few a inches. Boyle, left half back and a Suinte) >oy, played a particularly brilliant . <ame for Carolina. His long gain .brough the line and heady end runs 'elped materially to bring defeat to Virginia. He also assisted in one ol the neatly executed kicks from place? ment: he held the ball for Foster to ooot over the cross bar. .Reid at half back, Wilds at full ; Jog bu rn and Croft at tackles did plendid work. McKay and Foster. Carolina's two fast ends and Rut Mc? Gee, the feather weight quarter play? ed splendidly. Stone at center, Choilton, Egger" and Quisenbery, occupyiug the back field, ! did the best work for Virginia, lt was a splendid game and largely at? tended. THE RACES. j Exciting Exhibition of Skill and Speed. An enormous crowd witnessed the horse races Friday, which were run on a beautiful, straight clay track of a half mile in length. Hundreds ol carriages were gathered on the side of the course, while an immense mass ot humanity thronged the sidewallks. and it was with great difficulty that people could be kept off the track. The entries winers and prizes were as ! follows : j First race, harness, free for all, i one mile and a half heats. J. H. Mc I Call's Prince Hal first. W. A. Bow man's Goodman second, S G.

Sanders and U. M. Brown. In the Magistrate's Court. The case of the State vs. Lewis Henig was heard before Magistrate H. Harby, Jr., Saturday at noon. The indictment was for obtaining goods under false pretences. Henig purchas? ed whips from the Southern Express Company, which were consigned, C. O. D., to Rudolph Brothers. As the latter had gone to Timmonsville, be? cause of a supposed city ordinance pro? hibiting the sale of whips, Henig induced the agent to turu the goods over to bim. Henig disposed of the whips and Rudolph Brothels demand? ed the profit, and on being refused took out a warrant. Henig was dis? missed for lack of evidence. CORONATION OF FESTIVAL QUEEN. A Brilliant Ceremonial Uifcnessed by ;n immense Throng That Filled the Opera House. j On Wednesday niirbt tbe Opera House was crowded, as it has seldom been crowded, with a brilliant audi? ence, each one eager to witness the coronation of the Queeu of the Festi? val and to participate in the ceremo? nies as a loyal subj?ct and admirer of the chosen Queen. The Festival committee and the State and county officials were grouped on tbe stage in a semi-circie in the center of which was placed the throne of the Queen. The Queen, Miss Jew? ell Burdell, attended by her Maids of Honor, Misses Marie Moise and Rosa? lie Moses, was escorted to the stage surrounded hy a retinue. The Queen was presented to the audience by Mr. Neill O'Donnell and escorted to her hrone, the audience standing the while. The Queen was crowned by Maj. H. Frank Wilson, who then delivered the following coronation address, which was as follows : This is the crowning event in Sum? ter's Fall Festival. It crowns our beautiful city with a halo of gladness and joy. lt crowns the Festival Com? mittee with the welcome news of com? plete success. It crowns as fair a queen as ever swayed a sceptre, or wore a regal diadem. In the olden tim?is when cities were walled around witt adamantine rock, crested with turrsts, and battlements and towers, and ponderous iron gates at night, se? curely locked, shut in the city and its oeople, and shut out the world be vond-to be the keeper of tho city's keys simply meant free egress from aud ingress to the city. The Honora oie Mayor of the City of Sumter has formerly turned over to the President ! of the Festival the keys of the city giving thereby, not only fres ingress to, and egress from the city, but giv mg as well a hearty and cordial wel ome to the hospitality of ber people, if it happens that we are unable to entertain tbe thousands ofj friends bo have come to share this festival w ek with us, it will not be for lack >f hospitality, but because the city is axed, by the kindness ot' its friends beyond its capacity to entertain. Chere is not a home within the city's imits, the latch string of whose doo s not on the outside, bidding friend and visitors come and welcome. There s not a man, woman, or child, 1 night say, within cur bounds wno Joes not feel a keen, abiding interest the success of this festive occasior nd who is not willing to spend am ?e spent in its interest. Sumter's las 'ail Festival was held in Octobe -1891. In the ten years since then sb aas grown, from a small tewn of 4,00( people, into one of the most prospe? rous, and progressive cities in feb? tate. This growth is1 the outcome oiely of the push, the iudustry, tbe inergy, the progressive spirit of her citizens. Her mercantile establish? ments are abreast of any in the state, .nd I might say wiheut exaggeration, will near comparison with those o1 rities many times larger in popnla t ou. The diversity of her manufac uring enterprises outranks any citj f her size in rhe South, and her rail 1 road faelities makes her the best rail j road center in the State. King Cot? ton, the South's great staple, is help? ing to forge her to the front, alreadv this season she has marketed 32,000 ^ales and will before the season closes market 40,000 bales of the fleecy sta? ple. Over such a city, and the peo nie who have made it, and during this festive week, over the thousands of her invited guests, who come to enjoy this g8la season with us, your Majes? ty is called to reign, and 1 am com? missioned by your true and loyal sub? jects to place upon your brow the dia? dem of royalty, and to proclaim you the chosen queen of Sumter's Fall Festival. The President of the Festival with the keys of the city in his keep? ing, is but your loyal subject, as are we ali. 'Tis yours to command, 'tis ours t<"> obey. Under your just, be nign and righteous reign, our beauti? ful, progressive city is to enjoy a fes? tive season beyond the expectation of tbe most optimistic of your loyal sub? jects. During this season of festive merry making we pray your gracious majesty to temper justice with mercy. The quality of mercy is not strained, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath ; it is twice blest : It blesseth him that gives and him that takes : Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown : His sceptre shows the force of tempo? ral power, Tho attributes of awe and majesty, Where, doth sit the dread and fear ?> -'ings; Bat arey is above, tl ii s sceptered sway : It is an attribute to God Himself; And earthly power doth show likest (ind's, When mercy seasons justice.*' . There is one matter, your Majesty, that needs immediate utterance. *'They say, best men are moulded out of faults; And for the most, become much more the better Fori being a little bad." We pray your majesty do issue now, and have your heralds proclaim throughout the confines of the city, and that without delay, and edict, permitting ali married men, whether residents or visitors, during this gala week, to stay out at night as late as they please, and to be received at home, regardless of the hour, without the usual lecture which such trans? gressions merit, and generally receive. The time is short, your majesty, al? ready tho whole of Tuesday night is gene, and nearly half of Wednesday night, and still your suffering sub? jects, these married men, anxiously await your royal permit. "Do this-but this And may the gods themselves build up thy greatness, As high as their own heaven.'' Such a reign, your Majesty, just, and wise, and firm,and merciful, will j redown to the glory of our chosen queen, and conserve the best interests ! of your loyal, faithful subjects. Maj.

No Poison in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy From Napier New Zealsnd Hearld: Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of New Sooth Wales, Australia, had an analysis made of all the oough medi? cines that were sold in that mark ! et.

In one of Mr. Chase's classes in painting was a young chap who could not paint pictures much better than he could save money, and the allow? ance given to him by his father was very often gone before he knew it. Oue day Mr. Chase was talking to the class on the subject of perspective, and this particular student did not appear to get the idea very clearly. To make it plain Mr. Chase went back to the rudiments to get a good start. "You understand." he said, "that the farther you get away from any object the smaller it appeal's?" The young fellow shook his head. "No," he replied doubtfully, "I'm noi so sure about that." Mr. Chase was provoked and not a little surprised at such ignorance and said so.
