Prof. Haddon complimented
all the boys very highly on their
work.
The father of one of the con
testants stated that his two boys
this year made as much corn on
their two acres as he made last
year on his 2-horse crop.
There is no doubt but this is a
fine county to grow grain. lii
few years the county should be
shipping corn and meat. There
is more profit in a diversified
crop than in a cotton crop at 6
cents.

A Life of Service.

In many ways the life of Tom L.
johnson, Of Cleveland, Ohio, was an
inspiration to every man who is striV-
ing for the success Of what he De-
lives right principles and who dedl-
Gates his life to the welfare Of others.
There was no self in his makeup.
Making other people happy, and help
ing the man that had the heavy load
to bear over soma rough places,
seemed to have been his greatest
source of happiness. The lives OF
such men are benediction.
Whether people agree or not agree
with Mr.. Johnson's well known views
on municipal ownership Of public util-
tiles they could not but admire him
for mis- one purpose, his fidelity
to conviction, his undaunted courage
and the brave way in which he strug-
gled against great odds, including
monetary interests, for the success OF
the cause he had at heart. Undls-
mayed by defeats and having con-
stantly in view the good Of the peo'
ple whom he served he returned once
and again to the conflict.
In some respects at least he may
be cited as striking example of the
success of failure. That is something
more common than many people sup
pose, and for the encouragement of
others it ought to be more fully rec
ognized than it now Is. Mr. John
sons constant aim to persuade Cleve-
land to buy and manage the street
car service of that city was not real
lied. But he did succeed in securing
a. great reduction In fares and in
giving Cleveland one Of the very best
street car systems in the country, and
that was no small triumph.
Besides that his success in this
particular awakened new interest
and determination in other cities to
get better car service for their peo-
pie. He gave his whole life to the
public, and the good he did will
never be known, as the influence o'
his noble life, and the many acts OF
unselfishness that he performed
will never die. Li"es that his touch
ed, will take up the work that he
laid down, and carry it on. The
world would be better off it it had
more such men In it.

Made q Gooc Start.

The large an enthusiastic meeting
on Tuesday left no doubt on our part
as to the success Of the movement to
organize an association for the pur-
pose of holding our annual fair in
this city where the products Of the
county can be exhibited. That such
fair would be of great benefit to
the county as we'll as the city, there
t is no room for doubt, and we are
glad that it is almost an assured
fact. Ali that is needed now to
make it a fact, is for thee business
men of this city to put their should
er to wheel and push.
Every business and professional
man who lives in this city is inter
ested in the success CT the move
ment started to establish the fair
and every one of them should sub
scribe as literally as he cdn 10 Tie
capital stock of the Fair Association
which has been forme dto hold an
nual fairs in this city. The success
or failure of the ente Sc depends
on what the City of Orangeburs will
do towards raising the money neces-
sary to make it SUCCESS. The hold
ing of fair here would do this city
untold good, and we must be willing
to pay our share toward it.
A good start has been made. Now
let us keep up the good work until
the holding OF County Fair in this
city every year is an accomplished
fact. There is no better county N
the State than Orangeburg, lonk:ab
at it from any standpoint you please,
Nor are there to be found anywhere
better people than those that i've in
this good old county of OraDgeburg.
Then why should we not have a
County Fair where the products OF
the farm, stock, needlework and
other things could be exhibited and
sold if desired? There is no reason
why we should not have it and we
therefore are going to.
AS Lord Nelson said to the Brit
ish at Trafalgar, when about to en-
gage the French fleet. England eX-
poets every man to do his duty" so,
we say, Orangeburg expects every
one of her business men, in getting
up this fair, to do their whole duty.
If they will do it, like the English
commander, the county and city will
win a great victory and will have
the best equipped County Fair in
South Carolina. So let us all, city
and country, get together on the sub
ject of the fair, and build it. 1t will
bring US all closer together, and do
us all good. There is no telling the
good County Fair would do in de-
veloping this grand old: county in all
times. So we must have It.
