INGToN COUNTY.

There is considerable severe criti-
cism OF some of our county officers.
New county talk and unrest and dis
satisfaction comes from every corner
OF the county. There is reason for
all this and we fear just reason. We
have. all Of us always heard about
the Lexington Ring and we have
heard it denied that any such Ring
exists. AS a matter of fact we
doubt if any such Ring has eve,
been organized or does exist, but OF
the other hand there are Away.

We do not believe that Governor
Blease can deliver the South Caro-
lima vote to Harmon any more than
we believe that The State can deliv-
CT it to Wilson. We have an idea
that the people are going to do a
little thinking for themselves. and as
a result thereof the speaker of the
last Congress is going to stand a
good chance of securing the South
Carolina vote for president. Why
should he not? There is no man in
the party whose experience in pub
lie affairs better qualities him for
the position than Champ Clark. Be-
sides his recent record in Congress
is fresh in the memory of every
body and it is heartily approved.
He has the confidence of the people
and he is the logical man for the
democrats to put forward for Presi-
dent.

THE WOMEN'S MISS.
1ONARY JUBILEE.

The tift;eth anniversary of We
mans Organized Work for FOREIGN
Missions will be celebrated in Char
lesion, S. c.. October II and l9,
1911.
Fifty years ago in the parlor of
Mrs. T. {. DoremuS in New Xork,
where was organized the first wo-
mans missionary society to receive
charter, the great missionary
movement was begun. Since then
the work has grown steadily year by
year. In 1910. under the influence
OF the wonderful book, Western
Women in Eastern Lands" Mrs.
Henry w. Peabody, chairman of
the Central Committee on United
Study, conceived the idea of cele-
bration which should stretch from
shore to shore and recount Gods

If there is ANYTHING irregular with
the recent election for bond issue
for a new school building, the trus-
tees should take immediate steps to
have the errors corrected. If neces-
sary they should order another cleo
ton. and see to it that everything
necessary is legally and properly
done. There is no two sides to the
question. We have got to have a
school building, and we can not ge,
it except by voting bonds for the
necessary amount. There ought
not to be any opposition to it. but if
there is the good people of the dis
trict should get together and see
that the election is carried. We
must 60 forward.

THE TRI- COUNTY
FAIR.

The Advocate wishes to call your
attention to the approaching Tri-
County Fair. This institution has
done so much for the section that it
serves that we do not feel it neces sa-
ry to say much about it. But we
would appeal to all our readers, to
attend and make exhibitions of
your products. Every one has pro-
duced something in your household
or on your farm. that you are proud
OF and that you should show
to others and tell them how you
made it. Mr.. N. A. Bates, our most
successful and reliable fellow citiz en-
is PRESIDENT and this in itsels COM
mends the Fair and the strongest
terms for Mr.. Bates would not have
anything to do with it if it was not
worthy cause. And too, he is
working hard early and late for the
Fair all out Of love for his comlau-
nifty. Then we call on all of you to
do your part by patroniz;ng his un-
selfish efforts. Sit down now and
write postal card to Mr.. w. ]. Nc
Cartha tor a premium list. This is
no experiment but the past record
of the Tri-County Fair is clean and
an honest success.

GEORGIA. CAROLINA FAIR

Augusta. Ga. Sept. 28-With on
ly six weeks intervening until the o.
pening of the Georgia Carolina Fair
the officers aud directors are busy
getting ready for fall show which
will eclipse any previous one. There
are reasons why the Georgia Caro-
lima Fair. which will be held from
Nov. 9th to llth inclusive, should
be bigger and better in every way
than ever before and eclipsing by
far even the magnificent show of
last year. This year the conditions
promise to be ideal. The farmers
are making splendid crops this year
in almost every locality in Eastern
Georgia and Western South Caro-
lima. and with their pockets full of
money person is much more likely
to become enthused over this Fall
Fair tn. if he had made poor
crop and was barely doing more than
paying ex ases.
The gree. est one feature added to
the fair of 1911 will be the Corn
Show. From twenty five counties
of Georgia and South Carolina
there will be splendid corn exhibits
and large portion of the main fail
building has been set aside for the
Corn Show. The Corn Show will
be free attraction, unlike at many
places where an admission fee is
charged to see these exhibits alone
| The Poultry Show, which is al
ways one of the best if not the bes,
attraction. at the entire fair, will be
better than ever this year for much
more space has been added to the
poultry building and the number ot
birds this year will be much larger
than ever before. The visitors a
the fair last year were greatly i'm
pressed with the splendid poultr,
display and the news that it will b,
better than ever this year is bouno
to cause much pleasure.
The agricultural and liz estock ex
hibits promise to be better than ev
e. before and the educational exhib.
it of the Georgia State College o.
| Agriculture will be one of the most
interesting features of the fair.

A case to illustrate: The county
treasurer had small deposit in each
of the ten banks of the county. true
a very insufficient deposit compared
to what would be just and proper.
On the first of July every dollar of
these balances were checked out of
these banks in favor of Lexington
bank when the treasurer's report
showed large cash balance on hand.
lhis tax money is paid into the
treasury by the different sections of
the county and so long as this mon
ey is kept in bank it is nothing more
than right and just that it should be
deposited in the banks serving the
community paying it in. so that it
can be loaned back to the same far
