Under the above caption The Southern
Fdncicr, published ut Atlanta, Ga, in
speaking Of tho approaching exhibition
by the Poultry and Pet Stock .Associa-
ton OF Anderson County, says:
GA card from Secretary Jolle5' gays
that the Anderson County, South Caro-
lima Poultry and Pet Stock Association
will hold its show at Anderson, Ducem-
Der 20 and 80, (this month). DIR. Stephen
Il. Lea will Judge the fowls, which is a
guarantee that it will be well done and
done according to score-curd and STAN
dard requirements. Tie show will be q
good one and worth seeing. Besides, it
interferes with no other show. We con-
gratulnto our Anderson County friends
Oh their pluck and enterprise in sustain
ing a county organization. Every county
in every southern State should have its
annual fair end poultry show, and there
is no excuse tor not doing 30 except
want of enterprise and disgrscoful lazi-
ness. At tho North, the annual county
fair is fixed, a permanent institution,
and fair week Is looked forward to with
fond anticipation by all classes. Fact is,
with all our great resources, our advan-
tage in climate, ETC., wo are fifty years
behind tho industry of our northern
kinsmen. Tho great North forges ahead
in everything, while We nope along at
snails pace, and think more about poll
tics, and work moro at politics to keep
the South "solid" than we do for tho de-
velopment of our resources, or the school
ing of our people in ways beneficial TO
themselves and the country at large. Our
elections are disgraceful, and our politics
opposed to progress. These are unwholo-
some truths, but they are truths, never
theless. And now the question is: Shall
re reverse these methods, and go in for
genuine prosperity and enlightened
growth, or shall we continue to deal in
politics and let prosperity go to the dogs?
The great poultry industry Of the South
demands change. We want to see
the annual fair in every county. We
want to see progressive agriculture take
the place of the ancient slip-shod methods
now in vogue in tho South. When this
is accomplished, then will the South
blossom and grow truly great. But until
these and other reforms arc instituted,
We will move along in the lazy old style
offormer years."
Mr.. J. L. jolly, the Secretary OF tho
Association, informs us that the Court
House has been secured to hold the OK
hibition in, and it promises to be big
success. The exhibition takes place at a
parativoly idle time with our people,
and we hope to see large crowd attend
it. A small admission foo of ten cents
will be charged to pay expenses.
