STATE FAIR FOR SUMTER.
Negroes Decide to Hold Their State
Fair i'm This City Next Year.

Batesburg, Nov. 1O.--President
Richard Carroll finds it not feasible to
continue his State Negro Fair in
Batesburg, but the white people here
tendance so good that he and his
lieutenants refuse to yield entirely to
the clamor for a more central loca-
ton, so Batesburg is to continue as
an annual district fair centre for eight
counties hereabouts, while the State
Fair, proper, is to be held in Sumter.
These will really be rival State Fairs
although Carroll will continue at the
head of both.
1t would have greatly surprised
those Northern sympathizers with the
negro as to how he is abused by
Southern whites to witness the meet
ing of whites and blacks in the big
tent here last night to hear the ne
gro speakers testify to the good treat
ment the blacks get here, how gen.
erous and kind Batesburg people,
especially, have been toward this en-
terprise, to watch the white half of
the audience insist on one Of the negro
speakers continuing when his time
was up, to see both whites and black
mingling in the centre aisle on their
way to lay money on the collection
table, to hear the sound advice Car
roll, Baylor, White and others gave
to the negroes, to hear whites and
blacks together cheering negro speak
ers.
The exhibits in all departments are
al improvement over last year and
the attendance is quite as good as at
Columbia. Fine crowds are coming
in today and the negroes are thor
oughly enjoying themselves. Today
and especially tomorrow are to be the
two big days. This is just like the
white State Fair has been for forty
years, the biggest and best attended
Of them all.

AMAZED AT THE SOUTH.
Thought We Were Lazy, GO-Easy
People With Cotton.

Cecil Grenfell, of London, repre-
senting the English Rothschilds, who
have lately made large investments
in iron and steel interests in the
South, in an interview with the Birm.
ingham correspondent Of the Manu-
facturers' Record, says:
II am astonished beyond words to
express. I have often heard of the
South, but have never been aiming
you before. had formed an idea that
you had plenty of cotton and were
kind Of lazy, gO-easy people, with not
much energy. This trip has been
regular 'eye-opener' to me and 9TH
ers Of the party who have not visited
your section before. I have visited
California and Canada, but have new
er seen anything to equal the great
development that is going on in the
South. I have had an exceedingly
fine trip. I want to add that I have
neevr seen anything to equal the ar
tistic marble decorations in your
beautiful Empire building. I have
seen many handsome structures, but
none with finer marble decorations
and they tell me that you dug it right
out of the hills Of Alabama"

DOUBLE VOTE FOR ONE WEEK
A Chance to Secure a Big
Block of Votes in Ledger
Contest.

Owing to the repeated request of a
majority of the contestants in the
Ledger contest and to the fact that
the big celebration of the 4th, cut
into the working days of the contest,
interfering with the contestants get
ting around to interview their friends
it has been deemed advisable by the
management to extend the closing of
the contest one week, or until Aug. 10
at p. M. This will absolutely be
the date and time of closing of the
Ledger contest
AS the special ballot week was
such success to the contestants of
the Ledger and as there are still a
number OF subscriptions and promises
that are out, we are going to give the
candidates another chance to get
them in this coming week.
From Aug. 9th to the 18th, just
days, there will be double votes given
on all subscriptions turned into this

get them in. DO not wait until next
week expecting something better In
the way of vote getting. for it is
POSITIVELY stated that during the
remaining time OF the contest, there
will be no better offer made than the
DOUBLE VOTES.
Help some one along now. A little
encouragement may be just what is
needed. If you say mo" to candi-
date they may take this as a refusal
on the part of every one, and stop
trying for the prizes, or, on the other
hand, if, with word of encourage
ment yon give them few votes they
start out with renewed energy and
in this manner you be the means OF
giving to some young lady the Kim
ball piano. Votes are coming into
the Office fast and furious every week,
and ii you have not looked up your
subscription and found out how far
back you are it is time that you did
so.
With few1exceptions all the con-
testants entered In the race tor the
prizes offered by this paper are do
ing very we'll, and those who are
leading in the different districts are
very liable to lose the place any
week as some of the candidates are
holding a good reserve and may de-
eide to take first place at any time.
Amador ledger., 1909-08-06

Office and it would be we'll to say thai
there will be no better offer during
the contest, so do not save your sub
scriptions until the last week, think
ing that you will receive more votes
than this as there ABSOLUTELY will
not be auy better offer.
The double vote offer will give the
candidates who have been tagging
somewhat and those who entered the
race late, chance to catch up with
the leaders of the different DISTRICTS
Some have good many subscriptions
promised them and this will give
them a chance to show that the sub
scriptions should be given NOW.
If any contestant this week will not
only do as we'll as usual, but do her
best, she will make it warm for
every competitor in the race. Be the
one to make the contest more exclt-
ing.
Full particulars of this, the best
offer of the contest, appears in the
add of this issue, be sure and read
IL.
Amador ledger., 1909-08-06

The leaders must not get the idea
in their head that they have enough
votes to win, as there are others in
the race that are not worrying any if
they are not in the lead, but Will
show up strong at the finish.
To The CONTESTANTS
Do you realize that you have only
two short weeks until the close of the
contest in which to redeem your
selves?
If your standings are not as high
as you would like to have them, the
time is brIet and it behoUVes each
and every candidate to get in and do
her best in the matter of securing
votes and subscriptions. While there
yet remains time, not contestant
should get discouraged If she is not
at head of list at present. She should
be determined in the matter, and
with that thought get right In and by
good, persistent work, occupied with
energetic action, canvass for votes
and subscriptions, make the race we'll
worth the prizes. The candidates who
Work steadily and earnestly aud make
a weekly gain, are the ones who will
win in the end.
Make the most OF every day, and
make every minute count.
