TO THE PEOPLE
| OF BATESBURG

when 1 accepted the Presidency Of
the Tri-County Fair Association it
was from no feeling of vain. glory. nor
desire OF personal notoriety, nor from
any f9eling OF my peculiar fitness for
the position; but it was simply be.
cause my friends solicited this service
at my hands and because of nv de-
sire to show my love and patriotism
Tor my town, and for my native sec.
tion, and to manifest my faith in her
resources and possibilities by nv
work. realize that the position, in
order that the fair may succeed. de-
mands work unceasing, and am will
ing to work hard and earnestly for
success, but l also realize that it will
require more than the work of one
officer, or OF all the officers combined,
to Dring success out OF the undertake
ing. 1t will require not only the
good will of our citizens at large, but
their united as well as individual la
Dor. When 1 accepted the position
Of president it was not with the un-
derstanding or feeling that all the re-
sponsibiliUy and toll had been del
egated to me along with the honor;
but did so with the belief that the
individual citizenship Of Batesburg
would be back Of me with both their
influence and work. Shall 1 be dis
appointed in this expectation? Shall
/ have the modification OF seeing my
people stand aloof from the enterprise?
believe not. l believe my faith is
grounded in better class of people
than that. l believe each one will
realize the need Of united effort and
that each one will work, early and
late, for the success OF the stock and
poultry show to be held here Decem-
her 18th and 14th.
There is work for each one to do.
1t rests upon our shoulders to give our
guests and visitors on that occasion,
such hearty welcome to our hearts
and homes as will insure a perman-
ent patronage and ever increasing
numbers in attendance upon our pro-
| posed fairs In the future. Let every
citizen make himself one Of recep-
!
entertain and welcome every visitor
who comes to our town. Extend the
glad hand OF welcome and cordiality

1.Hn THREATEN.
Academy Of Music.

Tho opening performance OF the season
at the Academy of Music last night was
witnessed by an audience that occupied all
the available seats and standing room IN
the playhouse. THE Lighthouse by the
Sea-" a melodrama. containing many STIR
ring scenes and considerable quaint humor.
was the piece presented for the opening
bill, and that 1t was enjoyed by the audi
ence was manifested in the rounds Of en-
thusiastic applause that greeted the per-
formers. The chief interest in the play
centers around the love affairs of two
young people, who, after enduring many
trials finally see the plots Of their treach-
erous friends cleverly thwarted.
The role OF Paul Clifford, who wins the
love of the lighthouse keepers daughter, Is
we'll acted by Jack Dunn. George Miller
has the part of Caleb Gale, the keeper OF
the light, while Miss Wilhelma Frances
gives a capable portrayal Of the part Of the
heroine, winning hearty applause. John r.
Cumpson kept the audience laughing with
his comedy work In the role of Tom Cod
and Thad Shine and Lefty Holmes. who
took the parts Of Mike Larity and Mintz
Shock, respectively, added to the amusing
features OF the performance. The scene
representing the electric storm around the
lighthouse Is realistic in effect.

PLANS FOR LABOR DAY.
Carpenters and Joiners to Go to
River View.

The executive committee appointed by
the Joint District Council of Carpenters and
Joiners of Washington and vicinity to con-
slider arrangements for the celebration OF
Labor day held a meeting last night. The
committee arrived at the decision that the
day could not be better honored than by
having joint excursion to River View.
The subcommittee reported having Sc
cured a sufficient number of steamboats, to
accommodate everybody who desired to
spend the holiday at River View. Commit
tees on base ball and athletic sports were
appointed. with instructions to spare
neither time nor expense In providing q
suitable program of enjoyment. 1t was
further decided that this excursion is for
the sole purpose of giving the carpenters,
their families and friends an enjoyable day
and not for the purpose OF revenue.
1t was further decided that the carpen-
tiers can afford to celebrate the day this
year better than ever before the reasons
given being the pleasant and amicable rela-
tons existing between the Journeymen and
their employers, together with the large in
crease of membership, the rolls now includ-
ing nearly every carpenter In Washington
which, 1t was said justified a general JOLT
fication. The recent increase in wages with
out lockout or strike and the general rec
ognition OF the organization by the en-
pioyers Is, in the opinion OF the Joint Dis
trict Council. something to be proud of.
1t was ordered that the methods adopted
by organizations. soliciting prizes and
money from the business men of the city
for contests, etc, should not be allowed.
and that all members are prohibited from
soliciting subscriptions from merchants
The methods referred to were characterized
as biackmail and should not be continued
and. it was declared. this council will go
on record as denouncing It,"
The committee will meet regularly from
now to Labor day.
