The meeting of the I iu/.ens Ol Sum
ter County held In the Armory Hull
Friday night f Bf the pu"pose of
discussing and deriding whet.-.er Sum*
ter County should have a County Fair
fometlme this fall, or organize a
county f iIr association, was a great
success so far as talk went, for there
was a great deal of talk from 8.30
to 11.30, and it went even farther
than that for It was decided unani?
mously to organize a fair association
and to Immediately commence upon
the taking of subscriptions.
There was some discussion as to
whether er not the fair should be for
8umter county alone, or be a trl
county fair, with I.ee. Clarendon and
8umter counties In the association,
but this matter waa left to the com?
mittee to be decided upon later after
they had talked It over with citizens
of Lee and Clarendon counties to see
if they would consent to come Into
such an organisation.
A matter of Importance connected
with the fair was the der?. ion made
on a motion of Mr. Oeo. P. Shore i
and amended b. Mr. L IX Jennings,
that It was the sense of thl* meeting
that there be no horse racing at the
fair and a motion made by Mr. 8. H.
Edmunds that It was the sense of the
meeting that emphasis be given to
agricultural und industrial features
and that special care be exercised in
the selection of amusements *ith no
immoral suggestion.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. 8. C. Baker of the Chamber of
Commerce, who stated the object.
Mr. W. U. Hoyle. chairman of the
special committee of the county fair
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, was the first speaker. He j
told of the committee's visit to
Orangeburg and of the financial suc?
cess of the fair In that county and
how. In his opinion 8umter county
could have an even more successful
fa i th.m Orangeburg "our.ty because
of Ml better railroad facilities. He
h*J at|i nded a ^rett n my county
fair* dud ?he exhibits were Interesting
anal Ilk lairs u-?re .>f greot benefit to
the farmers wb. -e they wer?? held
fr< nt an 9M9M atlesjal Standpoint along
industrial and agricultural lines.
l*r. Maker told of how the com?
mittee would get at the details of the
matter and how prises would en?
courage the farmers to greater efforts
In raising crops. He did not think
the direct benefit would count to a
great extent, but the Indirect henetlt
wae what waa of immense Import?
ance.
Mr Sne|l told of how the county
fail was worked in < >rungeburg coun?
ty How It had proved a financial
success, fl.Oou being cleared the first
yesr He advl?ed the purchase of the
site and buildings faff the fair so that
It tat Id he a permanent thing. He
t' I of the prizes, exhibits, allotment
of staee and other lentieg in the
? ond i< t of a county fair.

In. the matter finally be
ing left in the Immtls of the County
i ilr Committee who should also do
cide whether ? trl-county fair could
be organized.
Tlie next discussion was as to
whether there should bi a rai e track.
Mr. Shore did not think there should
1 I and made p motion to this effect.
Mr. Jennings was opposed to horse
racing, but was in favor of having a
race traek for exhibition purposes and
for athletics. He submitted a motion
to this effect for Mr. Shore's motion
Which WM pimd. Mr. Habbs moved
to have 00 midway. He did not be?
lie w in having ImpOTttd amusements
at the fair at they curried off the far?
mers money and dtd not do any good.
He thought the fair should be con?
ducted for educational purposes along:
educational and industrial lines. He
later withdrew this motion which
was very much opposed by many
I resent and a motion made by Prof,
s. 11. Edmonds that emphasis be glv
tl to agricultural and Industrial fea?
tures and that special care be exer?
cised In the selection of amusements j
with no immoral suggestion. J
The discussion on these two mo?
tions was at times rather heated but
the temper of the speakers was
soothed at this pint by the entrance
of a supper of salad, sandwiches and
? otYee. a feature of the evening. At
this point also Mr. Snell began en?
rolling the names of those who would
subscribe to stock in the enterprise.
As a discussion was going on all
the while not all of these present were
approached and there wore many
who were unprepared to say what
amount of stock they would take, but
more than $l,50t) worth of stock yas
subscribed to by a number of those
present and the promise of a great
deal more was secured.
COTTON MARKET REVIEW.

Depress Price.
New York, Sept. IT.?Weekly cot?
ton market rcveiw: Hig receipts and
Friday's October notices for 50,000 to
i.immo) hales have tended to depress
prices of cotton, but their effect has
been offset Isj a measure at least by
the fear of an unusually early frost.
That might have distinctly bad results
in a season when over much of the
belt the plr.nt is undoubtedly two to
three weeks late. Fear of ffotl has
kept the bears on their good behavior.

Belfast, Sept. 27,?Tl e singing of
the national anthem by an audience
of 8,000 persons compr sing represn
tatlvei * f Belfast's greet industrial,
mercantile, eh il and religious com?
munity tonight brought to a close a
great anti-home rule meeting In
Ulster Hall amid fervor which was not
?quailed oven by the anti-home rule
convention of 1*1?2. The great meet?
ing renewed the adoption of the reso?
lution passed at that convention pro?
testing against a home rule Parlia?
ment for Ireland.
The supreme dramatic moment of
the memorable gathering tonight was
the unfurling and presentation to Sir
Bdward C arson. the chief propa?
gandist against home rule, of the Mag
carried by King Yllllam at the bat?
tle 0! the Boyne, The Hag was greet?
ed with frenzied cheering, contrary to
expectations.
No new pronouncement of Union?
ist pulley was made at the meeting.
The l ister watchword i-< "we will not
have home rule" but none of the
various speakers nor letters of the in
tluentlal Unionist leader- which were
read attempted to reveal the plan of
resistance, if such a plan exists
should King George sign the home
rule measure.
Hours before the time set for the
meeting a vast crowd had congregat?
ed about Ulster Hall. When the doors
Were opdned there was a wild rush
of ticket holders who speedily filled
Ihe 3,000 seats. Conspicuous among
the decorations was a device stretch?
ed across the platform which read:
We will not have home rule."
Lord Londonderry ir opening the
proceedings, said the determination
>f the Unionists of Ulster to oppose
nome rule never had been more sig?
nificantly shown than in the cam?
paign which was just closing. Those
that signed the covenant tomorrow,
he declared, would abide by it at all
hazards.
"Premier Asqulth and John Ded
mond (loud hooting) will learn from
t," continued Lord Londonderry,
that Ulster is not bluffing. The cove?
nant will be somthlng that they can
ot Ignore."
Many letters from prominent
Unionist leaders were read expressing
sympathy with the object of the
meeting. Andrew Bonar Law, the
Unionist leader In the House of Com?
mons, wrote: "Victory In my opinion.
Is certain." Arthur J. Balfour's let?
ter Saldi "Nothing cm make me be?
lieve that the British people or even
the House of Commons which now so
grossly misrepresents them, would
ever attempt to drive Ulster oul of
the Union Lei me not be told thai
there ever will be found a British
government sufficient!) wicked or a
House ol Commons sufficiently sub?
servient to say to Uutter "leave us or
we will shoot you down."
The lord mayor oi Belfast moved
a resolution denouncing home rule.
Then Col, Wallace representing the
1 rungemen, adv. meed to tin- platform
and presented to sir Bdward Carson
the Hag which was carried to the
front by King William at the battle
oi the Boyne. In making the pre?
sentation Co| Wallace announced:
"This Mag wttll be borne before Car?
son at the signing of the covenant to
mo 1 tow
The audience cheer d loudly. Sir
Bdward Curson replied to Col Wal?
lace. "I accept this Mag as a token
of victor) for Civil lind religious lib?
erty. 1 hand it hack to you and ask
you to ke. p it as a :-a red trust until
we have killed the conspiracy thai
confronts us."
A silver casket containing the
scroll of tin covenant and a silver
pen with which he will sign it tomor?
row were accepted by Sir Bdward,
who then proceeded with his speech.
"We are acting not in defiance but
m defence." he declared. "We will
carry oul all that the covenant
means lo the very end. whatever the
consequences may bo, We will take
no linnet esanry st< ps but will shrink
from n?> necessary one. The signing
of the covenant may be either tin
? mi or the beginning of drastic action.
lh.it depends not or your or ire bul
upon the fjovt rniw nt. I tell the Qov,
eminent with your function that un
del no cireiMintunees w\\\ we accept
home rule Parliament m Ireland."
Prolonged cheering greeted th<
following passage in Sir Kdward"
peeeh 'A great man In I he A m< t i

Ishments will not fascinate nor threats
ni to id 11 ? us, foi under Ood we an

our exit, we hall die a^ freo men.

ready.' "
Brief Speeches then were made by
the Marqule of Salisbury. Lord Bores
ford, Mr. Smith and others.
The resolution denouncing home
rub- for Ireland was carried by ac?
clamation.
The Weekly Outlook tonight makes
the startling announcement that one
third of the officer! in the British
army are Irishmen, that over H<? per
cent of them are Unionist Protestants
and that they now are considering
how to resign their commissions In
order to lead Ulster in anus against
home rule.
Bathing in the Sun.
San bathing is becoming more and
more popular, and, indeed, a number
people go so far as to state that
there la no disease which the sun
ill not heal or at least favorably
odlfy. Sun bathing has been known
?r centuries. The Romans had their
?olatarlums in their villas, where in?
habitants used to sit in the strong
i.vs of the sun and be cured of
heumatism and gout. In Berlin there
ire regular associations for sun
tithing, and in the summer these peo
le wander out to commons and open
places, put a sort of shanty and in
lose a space in which the sun beats.
Here they will lie in groups, reading
or sleeping or brushing off the Hies
ind return to their homes in the even?
ing professing perfect health. So far
the sun's rays have not been taxed,
ind it is therefore a cheap treatment,
is it is also the simpl ? and most
harmless form of light therapeutics.
Augusta Chronicle.
The Cotillon Club members met
Friday night and re-organized for
the approaching season. The old
members and officers were all re
elected and it was decided to have
three dances during the winter. The
date of the dances will be announced
later by the committee.

these ills can be cured. The follow?

Mrs. J. O. llatocock, 1518 Front

Kidney Pills did me more good than
any other remedy I ever used and i
am grateful to them. 1 suffered ter?
ribly from backache and pains in my
kidneys and some days I was unable
to get around. No position I assum
?d was comfortable and 1 also had a
great deal of annoyance from my
kidneys. After using several reme?
dies and getting no relief, Uoan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me and I got a supply. After taking
this remedy, my kidneys became nor?
mal and I felt well, i can certainly
?peak highly of Doan'l Kidney Pills.'
