,The stock holders of the t iedmont
Fair Associatien have resolved not to
sell gaming or liquor privileges this
year. This action deserves the most
hearty edorsement of every goeit
izen. In commenting upon the
course of the stock holders the Green.
ville News says:
"Now it remains with those who
)pposed and complained of the gain
'ng and drinking to aid in proving
that the fair can be conducted sue
essfully and made popular without
those evils. Of course every citizen
if Greenville city and county is di
rectly interested in making the exhi
>ion popular and permanent. None
> us can afford to have it fail and
oge its inumerable benefits. But
he experiment to be tried this fall
vill be watched with interest every
vhere. If we succeed without li
luor, roulette tables and chuck-a
uck on the grounds the result will
nlcourage other fair associations to
ollow our example. If we fail, the
ailure will be public notice that an
Lgricultural fair can not be success
fully conducted on a strictly moral
plan in South Carolina."
No enterprise, however laudable its
>)jeot, deserves success, when it
;toops to obtain it. The people who
1re drawn into a fair, by the love of
aming and whiskey are the very in
Aividuals the friends of the institu
tion should desire to keep out, for
they contribute nothing to its perma
aent success. The Piedmont Fair
might to have failed long age, if its
>opularity and success depended
pon gambling and whiskey. These
Attractions arouse in the minds of sub
tantial citizens a suspicion that the
air is a trap to catch their money,
ustead of an institution to advance
he agricultural and mechanical in
crests of the country.
Let the gates be forever shut a
ainst gambling and whiskey, and
he grounds disinfected of every in
noral practice, then the back bone
,nd muscle of the country--the sub
tantial farmers-will come to the
escue. Though the reccipts at the
rate should be less, the permanent
good to the country will be more.
If the Piedmont Fair "conducted
m a strictly moral plan," does not
mucceed, then this country is no long
1r in need of such an institution.
But its worthy objects give us an
biding faith in its necessity and its
iltinate success.
Our Schools.
The fall seasion of the Piedmont
[nstitute commenced on the 2d inst.,
md the arrival of the boarding pupils
dias given our town its accustomed
life. Miss Eliza Aiken has resumed
her place in the department of music
and Miss Ida Hollingsworth still has
sharge of the art school. The suc,

lessions of this institution enables us

We learn from the Messenger that
Prof. Lake's school at Easley has
itarted on the fall session with flat
~ermg prlospects. Prof. Lake is ably
issisted by Miss Maggie Simpson

partment of music is under the skill
ril management of Miss Eva Knight'.
We are informed that tihe school at

Miajor D. Grice, is doing a good wvork.
Central has been favored for a long
time in her school with tihe efficient
services of Captain R. L. Lewis, andl
lier citizens are now taking decisive
steps {to place her educational inter.

-Greenville News.
The Seneca Free Press of the 28th
ult., says: Walhalla was somewhat
stirred up last Thursday, the 20th
instant, by the double attempt of
Marion G. Westendorff, of Charles
ton, one of the excursionists to the
up country, to commit suicide. His
first attempt was to try to cut his
throat with a razor, but he was foiled
in that and he afterward resolved to
juip from the third story of Bio
mann's hotel,'when this tragedy was
averted by a friend who grasped one
foot after his leap through the win
dow. Disappointment in love with
one of Walhalla's fair ones was the
cause. Since his double attempt to
commit suicide his beloved one has
repented, and what promniseA to break
his heart as well as his head has
been amicably settled and everything
runs smoothly.
