"THE GIRL FROM RECTOR's.'
To Be Played in This City Frida
Evening at Academy of Music.

The Morning Star, Wilmington, n
NJ, of date Nov. -, has the following
to say about "The' Girl From Rec
tors:
yesterday afternoon and last
night the theatre-goers Of the city
again had the opportunity Of seeing
"The Girl From Rector's', which was
presented before two fairly large and
well pleased audience. Eacn mem
Der of the cast played his or her part
we'll, winning frequent applause and
repeated curtain calls. THE Girl
From Rector" was here last season,
when, following talk that it was Ii
bidinous and immoral it was pre-.
sented under censorship, while in
some other cities it was debarred en-
tirely by the authorities.
From the following which is taken
from the Wilmington Star, the lead
ing paper of that city:
Each member of the caste played
his or her part we'll winning fire.
quent applause and repeated curtain
calls. The play did not give offense
to any of the large number of ladies
in the audience when it was pre-
sented here before, nor did they see
anything especially Objectionable as
it was presented yesterday. In the
ofternoon tho Indies DredOminateG 81
and if one is to judge by the en-
thusiastic applause they accorded at
frequent intervals and the repeated
curtain calls, especially at the close
of the second act, the attraction
pleased immensely.
There were large number Of la
dies present again last night. The
worst thing about THE Girl From
Rector's" is its reputation and that
is not as bad as it was a year ago. .

PREVENT DISEASES.
The State Aids You to Do So Mt Its
Own Cost.

Among the most instructive
probably the most valuable-single
exhibit at the County Fair is that un-
der charge of DR.. F. D. Rodgers, of
Columbia, an official of The State
Board of Health. The State Board
has been doing more work lately
than ever before and countless val
liable pamphlets are prepared by
them telling you of various infectious
diseases in simple words and how to
prevent. Their work Is entirely in
bettering the health Of the State.
At the recent State Fair this de-
partment had an exhibit and the
same one has been sent to Orange
burg under DR.. Rodgers. This Is the
first county fair it has yet visited.
DR.. Rodgers talks very Interestingly
TO all interested abort various dis
eases, although at prt ut he Is par
ticularly talkative about hookworm,
one of which he has for inspection
under a microscope. He has many
pamphlets, concerning contagious
diseases which he Is giving away. He
shows diptheria anti-toxsin, typhoid
vaccine, small pox vaccine, pictures of
people suffering from the hook
worm, and also gives to anyone car
tons for sending hook worm exami-
nations to Columbia. He is calling
especial attention to sanitary
privy, which can be erected Tor about
six dollars, and which will aid large
ly In keeping down typhoid, and 9TH
er diseases carried by flies.

SOME FINE EXHIBITS.
Are Being Shown in the Main Build
ing at the Fair.

The center Of the most interest at
the Fair is undoubtably the main
building, in which the field crop de-
partment, the art department, the
floral department, the fancy wol'1 de-
partment and the household depart
ment have their exhibits. During the
entire day people walk to and fro in
the building viewing the various ex-
hibits. These exhibits are what sur
prised most people. The fancy work
department especially was declared
to be better than any seen at the
State Fair, and in all cases nothing
but praise was heard.
In this building also are the vari-
Gus firms who are advertising their
business at the Fair. Among them
are representatives Of M. o. Dantz-
ler, J. w. Smoak, Marchant Music
Co., Orangeburg Coca Cola Co., State
Board Of Health, Cutler and Salley,
Quaker City Mills, Coe Mortimer Co.,
of Charleston, The Times and DEM
ocrat, L. Bennett and Co., Stokes
Business College Of Charleston.
Orangeburg College has an exhibit
at the Fair, which was very pretty
and shows up to the advantage Of the
College. The exhibits Of both The
Claflin and The State College were
excellent, showing how the colored
students at these places are taught,
tailoring, sewing, wood work, iron
work, cooking and in all cases some
useful occupation. Especially inter
esting were some tools and bed
made by students at The State and
a carved table by The Clahln stu
dents.

Advertising Brings the Business.

The business man who does not ad-
vertise might almost as we'll put his
goods in basement as on the
shelves of his store. He does not
realize the truth Of the statement
made by Lord Macauley years ago
when steam was the great motive
pn wer, that, advertising is to bust
ness what steam is to machinery.
He would soon know the truth of il
to his great financial gain if ne would
but test it. This is what the progress
siye business man does with conse-
uuent prosperity to himself and OF
gain to the public.

DISAGREE ON EVERYTHING.
First Female Jury in Los Angeles {
Flat Failure.

Unable to agree on anything, the
first women's jury to sit in Los An
geles, CAL, was discharged late Fri
day. The case was that Of I. H.
Nago, accused Of having violated the
speed ordinance, and arraisned in a
Justices Court.
After listening patiently for three
hours to testimony and arguments,
the jury, at 1890 o'clock, was noti-
fed to get ready for luncheon
Twelve eating places were selected by
the twelve jurors. Then two said
they did not want to go at all. In
vain did Justice Forbes urge them
to reach an agreement as to place
for luncheon.
Finally, at 1880 o'clock, he ordered
them locked up again. The Justice,
too, lost his luncheon. At 5 o'clock,
after four and a half hours delibera-
tion, the jury reported that it was
unable to agree on a verdict, and the
Court ordered its discharge.

THE TRADES DISPLAY.
And Which One of the Floats Won
the Prize.

go the frlZe.
The most impressive and beautlful
feature of the opening Of the Fair
was the long Trades Display which
passed through the streets from the
Atlantic Coast Line Depot to the Fair
grounds. About forty floats, repre-
senting all the leading firms of the
town, were in the procession and
among them there were several very
beautiful ones while all were good.
Some time and thought had been
upon the preparation of most OF
them, and as result the show was
magnificent. The judges, DR.. T. A.
Jeffords, j. T. Lilies and G. R. Bow
man, who were to award a first
prize Of $40 and a second prize or
$40 had no easy task before them.
They carefully considered the various
floats and finally late Tuesday an
nounced their decision. The first
prize went to The Orangeburg Bak-
cry, and the second to The Orange
burg Fertilizer Co. Both of these
firms had especially attractive floats.

Bowman, S. c., Nov. 13th.-spe-

back has hampered cotton picking
no little in this section, the past

during which any cotton could be
picked at all. Some few farmers
have nearly reached "the goal' with
the end of picking in sight, but a
large majority are way behind with
a prospect of never getting all picked
Something remarkable for South Car
olina. Much of the staple IS still
being sold on the local market here
the receipts being largely in excess
of any previous in Bowman's history
Notwithstanding this a good portion
is being held for better prices, this
being noticeable on the premises OF
many farmers hereabout.

FAIR A GRAND SUCCESS
OPENING DAYS BRING GREAT
CROWDS OF VISITORS.
Fair as o Whole Surpasses the Ex-
pectations Of Every One.-A Huge


The Orangeburg County Fair op-
ened Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock.
People began entering the gates i'm
mediately upon their being opened
although it was at il O'Clock that
the greatest crowd came. along with
the trades display. 1t is said that
about $500 people entered the
grounds at the various times.
Comments upon the Fair have all
been favorable. In not an instance
has an adverse criticism been met
with. Men who have travelled say
that it beats any county fair they
have ever seen, while there were
some who declared chat it equaled
the State Fair. The weather for
Tuesday was good, although it driz-
zled in the middle of the day and
towards dark rained considerable.
Yesterday morning, however, all the
clouds had cleared away and it was
an ideal day for the fair.
The educational program was car
ried out Tuesday. From all over the
county representatives were sent, and
although there had not been time
enough to work up the educational
program as full as was desired "a
very interesting and enjoyable part
of the Fair it proved to be, and add
ed many young faces to the crowd
at the Fair Tuesday. The spelling
bee was won by Miss Marie Hydrick,
OF Trinity, Miss Hhtto, Of Bowman,
came second and Miss Elizabeth
Glaze Of Orangeburg came third.
The finish was exciting.
In the athletic department Branch
vile was the winner on most oc-
casions. Dukes, of Branchville won
the half mile race and also the 100
yard dash. The sport was viewed by
a large crowd and considerable at
tention was paid to each contestant
as he made his effort.
The winners of the prizes offered
to the Orangeburg County Corn Club
was announced as follows: Gary
Fairey of Branchville won the first
prize of $40 offered by The Times and
Democrat; Dannle Board, Orange
burg, won the second prize, two
horse Oliver Chilled Plow presented
by II. o. Dantzler; and Rallie Ed
wins won the third prize Of So. The
yield was II, 60. and 54 bushels re-
spectively. The other entrants in
the contest were:" Wilbur Steedley,
Ollie Hydrick, Detria Livingston,
Gervey Garrick, and Andrew Gramb-
ling.
There was only one automobile
race: which was arranged impromptu
that the spectators could see one.
The race was ten miles and was won
by Mr.. Cecil Cutler in Maxwell.
The exhibits are fine. The poul-
try, swine, horse and mule, and
cattle departments each have sepa-
rate buildings in which competing
animals are stalled. Some fine ami
mails are on display and such contests
r7er; in the county should stimulate
the farmers more in that direction.
The awards were being made yes
terday and in few departments were
the judges through before late in the
afternoon. As the winners are only
numbered ard each number refers
back to the key kept by the Fair Of
ficials, and it was impossible to get
the awards in shape OF publication
for today's paper. AS soon as pos
sible complete list of the prize via
ners will be published.

the course of the board in instruct

CASH VALUATION TO BE ABAN-
DONED.

That the persistent opposition to
the assessment of the property of the
state at its cash value under exist
Ing leVies has proved effective was
we'll evidenced Monday when an
nouncements were made by State
Treasurer o. v. Allen and Secretary
OF State Clifford that they had de-
cided to vote with State Auditor
Taylor on a motion to rescind the
resolution providing that all pro-
perty of the state should be assessed
at Its cash value. AS will be re-
membered, when the board first met
and voted on the first motion Treas
urer Allen was in the east looking
after the sale of the state bonds, and
the result of the vote to rescind the
motion was that Auditor Taylor
voted for 1t and Governor Hawley
attorney General McDougall and
state Treasurer Clifford voted against
It, consequent of which the assessors
OF the state proceered to assess the
