When we learn Of the great
successes achieved by the various
county fairs all over the state, we
often wonder why it is that Lei
flore is without an organized fair.
These events are looked upon
by those engaging in the pursuit
as a yearly event of the greatest
importance. Not only do they an
tlcipate an agricultural instruction
but they look forward to the time
each year when they can assem-
BILE and enjoy the good fellowship
of the citizens of their own coun-
ty.
The greatest benefit fair would
do our country would be to elimi.
nate four articles handled in large
quantities by Greenwood jobbers
and country credit merchants, the
elimination of which would great
ly benefit not only the whole
county, but every town itself.
If you will put your pencil to
the paper you will find that there
is no great profit to the sale of
corn, hay, hog meat and mules.
Ask the grain dealer his profit on
hay in Greenwood and he will
tell you it is very scanty. 1t is
the same with these other pro-
ducts. The persons who get the
big end of the outrageous price
we pay for these commodities are
those farmers in the North and
West who raise these products.
The retail dealer and the railroad
get wee bit of it, but the enorm-
GUS profit goes to the producer.
The profits on these commodities
are very small to the Greenwood
dealer, so small in fact that any
person engaged, unless a large
volume is done, would much pre-
fer some other line wherein a
better p rofit would be made.
We are often criticised by the
more frugal for the lax methods
that prevail in our state and in
the South. Houses and barns
need paint, but are not painted.
Fence improvements are also
needed. We are in need of better
agricultural implements and it is
an easy matter to think Of the
many other things that would
benefit the life of the people of
our section. The reason for all
this laxity is because the farmer
here spends all his money for
corn, hay, meat and mules, and
the result is that he has nothing
left with which to provide these
other items. There is always a
limit to the buying capacity of any
section.
These four items are the most
essential of the necessities for the
farm; they are staples upon
which our farmers depend for the
production of their crops. There
fore it is nothing but keeping the
wolf from the door to buy these
and leave off the neglected i'm
provements.
A County Fair in Greenwood
every summer would show off to
good advantage the practicability
of cur farmers raising their own
corn, hay meat and mules. II
would teach them the good re-
suits of diversifieation, and would
be, without a doubt, the most
potent factor in the development
of our fertile lands. Collected
together once a year, our farmers
would see that it is possible for
them to raise these four necessi-
ties, and also to further diversity
their crops. They could be taught
the great saving therein, and each
year the event would provide
another instructive lesson in polit-
ical economy.
The Fair is the only thing that
can do it. Other counties all over
the State are now enjoying the

How many people start diary or expense ac.

a famous lawyer shortly before his death, de-
cded that it would be good idea to purchase a
memorandum book in which to jot down the items
of his daily expenditure
81 can compare notes from day to day. he
said to himself, g find out how much | spend, and
so regulate my expenditure here and there. -
So the book was bought After the lawyer $
death, his executors, while going over his effects
came across the book. Interested to know how
far successful he had been in regulating his ex-
penditure, they opened the book-to find this the
only entry:

NEW CHAIRMAN OF
THE PROMOTERS

At the meeting of the Hawaii Pro
motion Committee held yesterday aft
ernoon, G. F. Bush was elected tenn
porary chairman to fill out the unex-
pired term of w. A Bowen, succeed
ing J. L. Mclean who had been ap
pointed to the place but had been
forced to resign on account of going
away
The committee sidestepped on the
matter of putting up $4,000 for the eX-
penses of the National Editorial Asso-
citation on their proposed excursion to
Hawaii, on account of a suggestion of
President Waldron, of the Merchants
Association, that the matter be left
to the tender mercies of the local
newspapers. Mr.. Waldron agreed that
the merchants and other business men
of the city should contribute to the
fund, but that the newspapers could
best do the work Of rustling money.
R. H. Trent was detailed as a spe-
cial committeeman to entertain Cen
eral Manager Cockrott, of the Oceanic
Steamship Company, who is now visit
ing in the islands.
H. P. Wood wrote very encouraging
ly of the success of the pineapple juice
experiment at Atlantic City, and gave
it as his opinion that the juice would
find a ready market throughout the
east.
Mr.. Wood also reported a letter
from President Morgan, Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, asking when he
could return to the islands. He hat
replied that his services would be
most needed in the next two months
over there, and would not advise Civ
ing up the work or even letting VI

Mrs. Headlee wrote very encourag
ingly of the work icing done at Seat
tie.
The remainder of the time of tn
meeting was devoted to routine mat
tiers.

arriving passenger this morning on
the Sierra, accompanied by his wife

San Francisco and is at present be-
ing made ready for her initial race.
Mr.. Smith is connected with the
Dillingham; company as chief engineer
and superintendent of the dry dock

Harbor for the Navy. He has al
ways been an enthusiastic yachtsman
and hopes to see his new yacht win
the race this year. The addition of
his yawl to the yacht club is an event
that has been looked forward to for a
long time by the other owners of fast
racing craft. The Mollilou will prob
ably be entered in the first class races
that will be held the latter part of
the summer.

DEFENDS USE OF
FOREIGN SHIPS

SEATTLE, June 1.-THE protest
of Congressman Humphrey from the
Seattle District against the continued
carrying of coal from the Atlantic to
the Puget Sound Navy yard in foreign
ships brought forth an explanation
from Secretary Meyer in a letter re-
ceived yesterday by Humphrey. The
letter is in part as follows:
We're the department compelled to
ship coal only in American bottoms it
would soon be forced practically to
abolish the Pacific feet, or the appro-
priation for this purpose would soon
be exhausted. The Nevy Department
is neither inimical nor even indiffer-
ent to the American shipping inter-
ests, but it must keep within the law
and not exceed the amounts appro-
priatei by Congress for specific pur-
poses.
| AS American vessels are not avail
able, the department is obliged to ac-
cept the proposals submitted by for
eign shipowners, without regard to
the character of nationality of their
crews, as it is not aware of any law
when permits it to discriminate be-
tween crews of foreign ships or allows
it to offer extra compensation to any
shipowner when using American
crews. The result of releasing for
eign bottoms on the Pacific Coast
upon which you touch in your letter
is beyond the influence of the Navy
Depa 'tment.

100000 TO Be
PARIS REWARD

WASHINGTON, June Richard
Parr, the customs deputy at New
York, who materially assisted the gov
eminent in recovering over 100000
in the sugar underweighing frauds, is
to receive a reward of 100000.
The decision to reward Parr in
the amount named was reached at a
conference between President Taft
and Secretary MacVeagh today. There
is not money enough available in the
fund in the treasury from which re-
wards are paid to cover the amount
agreed on, so that unless other ar
rangements are made an appeal to
congress will have to be made. That,
Secretary MacVeagh indicated, would
not be done at this session.
PaT discovered the secret spring
on the dock of the American sugar
refining company by which the under
weighing practice was carried on.
The final discoveries of fraud were
made in 1907, and since then the gov
eminent has been engaged in collect
ing the duties out of which it had
been defrauded
There were two other claimants
