Fair; the executive committee ma
gone to work, and one of the mem
bers wher seen by representative
of The ii mes and Democrat yester
day was ,.ble to announce seVera
things VIII !ch had already been SCI
tied upon by the Fair authorizes
and at the same time discuss the fail
generally.
The plrns for the various Nuild
sngs have been drawn, and the WORE
will soon be going on in full swing
The comm lttee at present proposes tt
erect: First, main building IS .!
$50 feet, This will be the headquar
ters of all exhibitions. lndividua
exhibits competing for awards in the
oremium list will not be charged
rent for the floor space occupied
hut exhib Is of firms, which are OF
fering these goods for sale, Will b'
charged floor rent.
Second a grand stand 35 by l0t
feet, will oe arranged for the various
races which will take place. There
will be al sorts Of races: auto
horse, mile, goat and pony races
with priz.s to be awarded each.
Third, a chicken house will De
built SO ty rs feet. This house vii
be used to display the poultry exhib
It's. In tie premium list luite mum
ber of va rious entries are there, and
NO doubt the entire house will De
needed tc house the various fowl thai
will be there. :.
In addition to this stables vii
have to te erected to keep the horses
and cattl, and stalls for the hogs anc
sheep,
The committee also wanted tc
erect a volnan's building In time fol
the Fair this year, but on account o1
the lack Of time, it is thought this
will have to be postponed until nex'
year. However it is regarded as Ger
tain tha.. it will be erected IN time
for the second fair in 1912.
Now We. come to the attractions
that will entertain the crowd. At al
fairs there Is q crowd that would
rather lie amused than instructed
and the committee is looking after
both crowds. For those that seek
instruction, the various exhibits vii!
be open: for those that seek pleas
ure attractions are being secured.
The biggest drawing card that can
possibly be brought to the fair Is an
exhibition Of aeroplane flights, and
this is what the committee is consid-
ering for Orangeburg.. II several
things suit an engagement will be
made with some aviator who is able
to fly tt be present when the County
Fair O1ens. This will cost a big
sum Of money, but it is hoped thai
the Fail will be able to secure one.
Then with other attractions the
Midway must be considered. It has
been almost decided by the Commit,
tee thar on no nights will the Fai.
grounds be open, but that the shows
run in ae day. Some however would
rather hat the mornings Of the Fair
be given entirely to exhibits, and the
nights entirely to the shows. The af-
ternoou, both exhibits and shows
could BE- opened. However this has
not yet been definitely decided upon
Arrangements are being made to
secure = football game here on one
of the lays to take place at the Fair
grounds. Secretary Hughes is in
communication with several of the
college, Carolina, Citadel, Charles
ton, Clemson. ETC., and will arrange
the best game he can for the Fair.
= Another feature has been suggest
ed to ecretary Hughes by the direc'
tor of he Orangeburg Military Band
Mr.. O. K. Wilson. That is afternoon
concerts each da dyiu tnrhg, ,dFfeish
coneer;s each day during the Fair al
specified times. This we believe would
be greatly enjoyed and without q
doubt would add greatly to the en-
joymellt of the afternoon. Besides
free a,ternoon concerts by high
class oand would be an added in
Queen .nt to Orangeburg's Fair.
Then it is thought some speeches
might be- arranged for. This would
be good, provided entertaining
speakers were secured.
