"HOOOHE V-KOOCHET" NO MORE
The Dancing Women on the Midway
Have Been Stopped.
The M Hooohey Koochey " danoers
will danoe no more on the midway at
the State Fair. This was decided upon
last night at the meeting of the Ag
rioultural Booiety.
The crusade against the midway
has been anticipated for several days
and many expressions of surprise
have been heard because there were
no young Parkhnrsts in the oity.
What do the danoers care. The
Fair has come and gone and they
have reaped their harvest
Mr. N. B. B rough ton was the first
gentleman to take steps to stop the
performance of these danoers at the
grounds." He brought the matter be
fore the meeting of the Agricultural
Society last evening. He said "The
'Hooohey-Koochey danoe, as these
fakirs call it, is, I am informed, so
outrageously indeoent as to make
necessary a protest from the decent
people of the State. In making this
protest, I do not reflect upon either
the President or the Secretary of this
society, neither of whom knew until
this afternoon the excessively inde
oent nature of these vulgar perform
ances."
Mr. Brougbton said they were de
moralizing. He thought that they
ought to be oloeed today, this being
ohildrens' day.
CoL Julian S. Carr, Col. John S.
Cunningham, Maj. J. W. Wilson
and others seconded Mr. Broughton's
motion.
Col. Carr sa'd neither he nor the
Secretary knew the oharaoter of
tnese exhibitions. He stated that he
had already entered his protest He
went to see the show, and ltwas pos
itively disgusting. He had spent sev
eral hours in trying to regulate the
evil, and had stopped as much as he
oould of the indeoent talk on the out
side. Col. Carr said: "We must
keep the morals of the young people.
if we would preserve the morals of
the State."
Mr. Broughton's motion was made
to include all the gambling schemes
on the grounds
Anderson Lewis Misses the Fair,
A tale of a nigger, a bale of cotton
aad.a creditor.!..,.
A moder letting, truly, but hark to
the lay . Yesterday morning Anderson
Lewis, a colored farmer, road proudly
into town. His seat was a 490 bale of
cotton; and he song in hi glee. The
.jotton ws sold, a check given by Mr.
Lee and happy Lewis started, whist
ling, to the bank.
But Mr. Bob. Parbam eame in the
tragedy. He claims that he had a
mortgage on Lewis' cotton. So when
he heard that the latter was in town,
he "got oqt papers." The negro
heard this, carried back the check,
got his cotton and want back home.
Last night Deputy Brooks seised the
bale.
So that is why Anderson Lewis
miesed the midway's oharme.

Fair Attendance.
The weather was threatening
this morning and looked at
first as though the Fair would
receive a black eye. The
clouds bung heavy and rain came.
bnt after a while the sun light
bnrsted through the omnious looking
clouds, and a brighter fall day oould
not have been desired.
Friday is a quiet day at the
grounds and today is no exoeption.
In many respects it is the best day
of the entire week. The crowd, the
hustle and bustle of Thursday are all
missed. It Is the best opportunity
afforded to see the sights.
School ohildren had possession of
tha grounds, today being set aside
especially for them. '
The Midway had a rather deserted
and oare worn look. The "Hootchey
Kootchey"dancer's booths were bar

had the best show on the grounds
taken originally from the Worlds
Fair was no longer "heard. ,
