intendent Walker, secretary Robin

host of laborers, are busy now every
day preparing for the great colored
fair that will be held November 9th
to 18th. Lot of fine exhibits are al
ready booked and many new and
attractive features are programmed.
Rev. Bowen and his local committee
claim to have plenty homes and am
pie arrangements to accommodate
thousands OF visitors. Hence let ev-
erybody pull out for Batesburg en-
the 9th and see the greatest colored
fair ever pulled off by negroes in
South Carolina. Cheap rates on the
railroads first class accommodate
ions and every comfort attendant
upon such occasions is guaranteed
by the officials. All must go.

The first estimates Of Yield from
Russia, which appeared some weeks
ago. show about an average wheat
crop, but a very meager rye crop. The
fact that the latter grain is the chief
source of food for the country, it is
declared, makes this shortage serious
from "A national point Of view. ! A."
Recent official estimates fully con-.
firm the material extension Of the 1909
wheat area in Great Britain and the
serious contraction in the acreage of
that grain in Roumania and Germany.
From the Argentine ministry OF agri-
culture comes the surprisingly opti-
mistic report that, in spite of the Sc
we're and prolonged drought at the time
of planting. the present wheat acreage,
while S per cent below that Of 1908, is
fully as large as two years ago, when.
