The Fair.

The colored people Of this community de-
serve great deal Of praise for the courage
displayed in their efforts to have an agricui-
turaI and mechanical fair at this place.
They be in to-day and should have the
e1coaragemento of everybody. This is their
first attempt and Trey have gone to consid-
erable expense and trouble.
nis 10 be hoped that when their fair is
over they will feel encouraged to continue
the good work.
A county fair does an immense amount
of good, it encourages the farmer to strive
to excell his neighbor and it makes the me-
chanic make finer strokes and strike heavier
blows in order that lie can display his me.
chanical genias.
It does the town good by bringing peo
pie to it, and as they flock here to see the
sights of the fair, they go back home with
the goods and wares Of our merchants. Oul
people should give encouragement to any.
thing that will have q tendency to benefit
the town, and the colored peoples agricnl,
tural fair association is making an effort IN
that direction.

No Pay; No Paper

Our subscribers will p e bear in
mind that TIE NAMING TINES is run
on strictly cash basis. We do not
send it out just for fun. We publish
all the county news We can get hold
Of; we publish all legal and official
advertisements; we publish the ALI
ance news; We keep our readers
posted generally; we publish adver-
isements for nearly all the leading
merchants in Manning and Sumter,
and for a great many of the best
bousss in Charleston; We endeayor to
make TIE TINES necessity in every
home in Clarendon. For all
this We charge only $1.5O a
year, scarcely three cents week, but
we insist that We shall get our money
before we deliver the goods. We
gave the credit system a thorough
trial, but it didn't work. We have
for two years tried the cash system
and it works like charm. We have
more subscribers than when we ran
on the credit basis, and we make
some money out of it. Before all the
profit went to the dead-beat. Now
the dead beat has to get his reading
second hand and it makes him feel
sheepish to read a borrowed paper.
We want to keep every subscriber
We, have and to get more, but unless
the money comes the name will have
to come off. We dislike to cut off q
name; it hurts US awfully: but then
it's our rule, and when the time is
out We stop the paper.
Watch your dates, and before the
time is out send US q renewal
