FIERCE FIGHTING.
British and Boers Clash and
Fight Like Demons.
By Union Associated Press
Capo Town, Nor. 9. —The Boers
foiwlit like demons Friday The Gor
don Highlanders lost ,heavily, but the
Boer’* 1'ish was awful. The wounded
present a trie fitful appearance. Many
of them had their nn*ea and ears cut off
from the re«ult of the fearful bayonet
and sabre charges in the hand to hand
fighting.
London, Nov 9*— White reports that
the Pigeon bombardment ceased Satur-
day. While w*» afraid be would run
out ot ammunition tor bt* big naval
gnna. Army officer* believe this ex-
plains the frequent sorties during the
past week, evidently for no other object
than to prevsnt the Boers from advancing
too close.
rd, r>
b, who
prietor of a hotel at Lad* smith,
arrived here today, says the Boer artflery
is outranging and outmatching the
. English. The bombarbment is very
annoying and becoming destructive.
Bessys the situation is very grave.
New York, Nov 9 —Carnegie, the
millionaire iron king, arrived here tbia
morning from England. He is bitterly
opposed to the English-Boer war, and
terms it as infamy.
The Figures Are Close.
By Union Associated Press.
Louisville, Ky.,Nov. 9 —The Courier-
Journal figures giye Goebel 2070 ma
jority, but other papers give Taylor
3000.
Louisville, Nov 9.—As returns of
corrected reports come in the situation
« mains unchanged. Both parties claim
e 8tafe—the Democrats 8000 and the
Bepubl Scans 7000 ^Charges 'of attempted
fraud are made by both parties, rs| ccial-
ly by the Republicans. Prominent
Republicans say the returns from every
county in the State have been sent in,
and claim that Taylor’s plurality will
not fall below 4500, and that late official
veporis from many counties which bad
■nnfficial reports have increased Tay
Jor’s figures, Democrats say Goebel
carried the State. It will take an official
count to decide. Already many contests
are in sight.

FAIR NOTES.
There are a number of curios which
are very interesting, and which are worth
the price of admisssion to see them.
We do not doubt that everyone in our
town will be surprised at the exhibit of
the Excelsior Medicine Co. They have
one of the prettiest exhibits in the build
ing, and to see the number of things
that are being manufactured in our town
is certainly surprising, They have all
kinds of perfumes, essences, hair tonics,
face tonics, tooth tonics, and, in fact,
every kiud of touic that is known or
heard of. Make them a call and they
will spray you full of a sweot smelling
stufi they keep for the purpose.
Mr. Seals is there and as usual has ev
erything in beautiful shape, and he is just
sailing nice things to eat—or we suppoas
his things are nice, we did not try them.
You know an editor does not have money,
and wo heard some one say you had to
have money to eat at Mr. Seals’ pretty
little table.
Agriculture.—Mr. Darling has''a
fine exhibit of home made products.
There are about thirty-five different
kinds of vegetables, grains and fruits.
He has some fioe specimens of cassava,
grown on his farm just outside of town
limits, also several specimens of the new
cereals that are attracting so much at
teution Kaifer corn, Milo maize and
Teosinto. These cereals make fine
forage and the grain is good for chickens.
Our farmers would do well to look at Mr.
Darling’s exhibit and we think ho will
give you points as to the value of these
new cereals.
Many ef our people will remember
Mrs. Peek of South Carolina, who vis
ited Waycross during the last fair. 8he
was the guest of Mrs. Sheldon at that
time, and made maoy frimds during her
stay here. She has oo exhibit one of the
handsomest slumber robot we have ever
seen and it certainly makes a poor ed
itor’a heart beat faster when he thinks
how well he would look slumbering with
; ifrtt <r, fiCahtffflT^pTece of hand work
thrown over him. Maybe we’ll have one
when we get to heaven.
Mr. Collier is there with his beautiful
shell jewelry and he always has some
thing new and something pretty. I tell
yoti boys, if you want to buy something
pretty and cheap at the same time for
your sweetheart inetrview Mr, Collier.
The public school exhibit is far su
psrior to that of any previous year, and
reflects great credit upon Prof. Pound
and his excellent assistant*.
The young ladies in charge of the
flower bosth are to be congratulated, as
their display and arrangement is perfect
