SAXON KINGS DEMAND REFUSED.
Lawyers Advise Countess Montignoso to Re-
tain Possession of Child.

Florence Feb. 12.-The Countess Montignoso has
been victorious in the first stage of her struggle
with the King of SaXony, her former husband to
have their daughter, Princess Anna Monica Pia
removed from her and for the present at least
the child will remain where she is. The lawyers
of the countess, after meeting with DIR. Korner
the emissary of the King of Saxony. decided that
orders of foreign authorities cannot be executed in
Italy and that the case will have to be tried first
IN the courts of law. The lawyers assert that
even should the King OF Saxony win the case in
the courts there would be difficulty in enforcing
decree taking the child from her mother

COUNTY FAIRS.

Otner counties are now tax
ing steps to have county fairs,
but no move has thus far been
made in Lancaster. Lexington,
Saluda, and Aiken organized a
few days ago a tri-county fair
association and arrangements
are being made for having a
fair next month. The county
fair idea has also taken root, so
to speak, in Greenwood. Among
the premiums to be awarded is
ton of fertilizer offered by a
merchant to the farmer who has
the most representative exhibit
of farm products. Probsbly it
is now too late for Lancaster to
undertake to have a county fair
this season, but an organiza
ton should be effected at an
early date with the view of hav-
ing one next fall. In the mean
time we purpose to keep this
important subject before the
people.
In a recent editorial on "Fairs
as Educators" the Atlanta Con.
stitution said:
President Mckinley tersely
characterized expositions as
milestones in the path of pro
gress. They mark the advance
made in different lines and they
perform the vastly more impor-
tant office of stimulating prog
ress itself in special lines. All
this aside from the enter' ain
ment they offer the holiday
seeker.
What expositions do for the
nation state fairs do for the state
and county fairs for the connties.
BY putting premium on thrift,
brains and general excellence
they foster the spread of these
qualities throughout the counties
in which they are held. The
farmer who is slow to take hold
of innovations or who farms with
a smaller percentage of brains
than his neighbors, sees in these
county fairs ocular demonstra
ton of the practical profit in
pursuing modern methods. He
learns, from failures and success
es of men in his own business,
points he could not CLEAN in a
hundred years without such aid.
Where he learns to look for
ward each year to attending fairs
that comprise the best efforts in
agriculture and stock raising in
his own county, he receives bene-
fits more direct and tangible in
an entire years reading. His
own ambitions and energies are
also given an incentive which can
hardly be correctly estimated.
The amusement feature is like
wise one OF the primarily impor-
tant factors. The man who has
gwen the best that is in him for
nine months 10 bring support to
his family and suster ance to the
state, is certaiuly entitled to a
holiday.
