The Chamber of Commerce of Columbia, as lias been its custom for several years, is sparing no efforts to make the approaching State Fair one of the most successful in its history. With cotton at 10c and a wave of prosperity sweeping the State, it is expected that the attendance will exceed all former years. In anticipation of a large crowd the Columbia Street Itailway has increased its facilities for handling the visitors by double-tracking its line from the Transfer Station, or Capitol Square, to the Union Station, thence a belt line circling the Fair Grounds, which is practically a double track all the way, and will afford prompt and ample transportation. In addition to the usual attractions of the week, the Chamber of Commerce lias engaged the Barkoot Carnival Amusonient Company, which, besides a band of its own, has a variety of good elean shows, which will give exhibitions at the several street corners, along with a l _ # # 11 * * liuniiHT oi irco auracuons. as usual, the theater management lias a splendid card for the week. Those expecting to visit the Fair, which begins October 24th, and desiring to secure boarding and sleeping accommodations, should at once communicate with Mr. E. B. Clark, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who is now at work arranging to place and care for every visitor to the Fair. Delightful Dance.

Tin: Times prefers to give publicity to the sterling qualities of the deserving while they live. ^ Congressman Johnson's Probable Opponent. The ' Spartanburg Journal prints a story to the effect that former State Senator Alvin H. Dean, of Greenville, will in all probability make the race next summer against Congressman Jos. T. Johnson for his seat at Washington. The artiele goes on to say that Mr. Dean is a strong man with a marked ability to make and retain friends, and that he is the best man in the district so far as chances for success against Johnson are concerned. The same article also states that ll?? i> * *r -t r\ mi nun. 11. i\. iuuigun, oi vireeuvmo, may run for governor next summer, but it seems to us that Mr. Morgan would stand Httle show ngain'st such men as have already entered.

Union's Beautiful and Attractive Stores. Iiast Thursday the millinery departments of the McLure Mercantile Company, the Mutual and Miss M. E. Tinsley's opened and wore visited by throngs of interested ladies from the city and county. At each emporium was a large and admiring crowd, for the styles this year are unusually attractive and pretty. The parlors of Miss M. E. Tinsley were adorned in flowers. A great number of new and stylish hats were on display here and their new shades and shapes were very noticeable. Miss Rease of Baltimore assists this year in this store. Many beatiful hats wmk shown at the McLure Mareantile Company, especially in the new "Aliceblues." The decorations were very pretty and the striking talent and variety of results acmeveu reflect credit 011 "Miss Tannic Clark, who presides here. The Mutual was fittingly decorated in honor of the opening. Miss Thorn is in charge here and is exceedingly gracious and pleasant to all her visitors. Here again the "Alice blue" creations were in vogue. All the hats here are beautifully designed and stylish. The odd shapes, the rich velvet, and the Ix'autiful ribbons were very noticeable. Cotton Opened Two Weeks Earlier This Year. According to the statements published in The State Tuesday given by the correspondent to this paper from every county in South Carolina shows that cotton opened at least two weeks earlier this year than last, and that the price being 10 cents for the greater part of the time since cotton was gathered, most of the cotton has been sold. As sixm as cotton dropped below 10 cents the farmers in this county have been putting their cotton in warehouses and will hold for 10 cents or more. It is certain they will not sell for less. Most of the farmers will act upon the advice of the president of the Southern Cotton Association. Mr. Peters, the vicepresident of the association, should be forced to resign, as he cannot after advising the farmert to sell contrary to the resolutions of the cotton association consistently remain in the association. His estimate of the crop is very different from all others and lie should Ixj regarded as an ultra bear. The farmers of the county can store their cotton in the warehouse of the Monarch mill company at the small sum of 15 cents per bale, which amount covers storage anil insurance, and whatever amount of money the farmers need can be obtained from the banks with their cotton as a good collateral. SPECIFIC INFECTIOUS DISEASES. Membranous Croup Infectious. Laryngeal Diptheria. - Membranous Croup.?With a very largo proportion of all the eases of membranous laryngitis the Ivlebs-Loeffler liacillus is associated; in a much smaller numl)er other organisms, rvo % ! tr pui tivvuai jj VI10 ill C found. Membranous croup, then, may be said to be cither genuine diptheria or diptheroid in cliharacter. Of 286 cases in which the disease was confined to the larynx or bronchi, in 229 the Klcbs-LoeHcr bacilli were found. In 57 they were not present, but 17 of these cultures wore unsatisfactory (Park and Becbe). The streptococcus cases are more likely to be secondary to other acute diseases. People should not go or take their children where there is a case of membranous croup. Dr. M. \V. Ci*lp, Ohm. City Board of Health. Advertised Letters Remaining in the Post Office at Union, S.
