The Advertisers idea of an ideal
county fair is one where no prizes are
expected, but where those who come
realize the benefits to them and to
their neighbors and join together for
mutual benefit, mutual pleasure and
beneficial rivalry. The Laurens coun-
ty fair comes nearer to our ideal than
any we know of, because it gives no
prizes on its own account and charges
no admission at the gate. Everybody
and anybody are welcome to come and
show their products and anybody who
is able 20 get to town can see the eX-
hibits and be prof1ted thereby.
Messrs. w. d. Byrd, c. A. Power and
John d. w. Watts have worked cease
lessly on the county fair. Each and
every one Of them have given days
Of hard labor to 1t. Would that every
man in the county would show his ap-
preciation Of their efforts and the
generosity of the contributing mer-
chants, by being on hand next Friday
and having something with them to
exhibit. Show the spirit of progress,
cooperation and desire to help and
he helped by coming next Friday with
some kind of an exhibit an exhibit of
everything which you have worthy
upon your place!
That the governor of South Carolina
should make the best appointments
that he can is taken for granted, but
we teel it would not be out OF place
90 commend Gov. Blease on two APP
pointments that he has made. They
arc the appointments of Messrs. ID. T.
Kinard and Lueco Gunter as members
of the state board of education The
Southern School News says that Both
men are admirably equipped both by
experience and by natural endowments
for rendering great service to South
Carolina" 1t is gratifying to know
that the governor has gone outside OF
his political encourage to find men for
Ghese important places.
III you have something worthy of ex-
SriDiiion, do not leave II at home be-
eauBe no premium is offered for it,
Remember that the county fair Is not
held to provide little extra cash for
ahose who participate. 1t is intended
ss an educational institution, in which
shose people of the county who have
EoRde progress can aid and encourage
ahoBe who have not and where those
who are lacking in a proper realiza-
aIon of the needs of progressive
methods in agriculture may become
enthused and become better and hap
pier farmers. Remember this and II
yg2IhXe something that you think II
- SopIa well for your neighbor to
