The announcement OF the fact that

this year, up to this time, than last
year has 0%ccasioned surprise in al
most every quarter. Last year there
we're special days which brought
great crowds. The beautiful weather
helped the cause, and tho farmer
wasn't very busy gathering a crop.
These crowds made al impression.
But this year there has been q won.
derful lot OF visitors who came singly
and in pairs from the outside towns
and from the remote counties. anu
they found 1t much to their liking.
They were able to see the exposition
In all of its beauty and to take their
time to 1t. LII
The exhibits are superior to those
Of last year and there Is On improve.
ment Of exhibits in every department.
There are less flowers. as o matter OF
course, because of the weather which
took away ar of the floral possible
ties, but Mrs. r, r. McCue, of Car.

ers, has done hlendidly and made
much Of meaeer possibilities. Mrs.
McCue has done a wonderful work
here. Her influence can be seen up
on the vacant lots and the small
parks Of Darlington, where her ini-
tiativa created much beauty where
the tip can and the high weed held
revel before. The ladies' of Caring
tops under the LEADERSHIP Of Mrs. Nc
(Cue, took personal charge OF the
weeds and debris and the %upturning
Of the sod. No man was allowed to
touch a hoe or o trOwel. The ladies'
did their own planting and tending.
With what money they had they
bought more seed and more plants
and in that way they extended a beau.
tiful little park system to every por-
ton of the city. When the men came
and moved the weeds and turned the
sod they were furnished with some
thing to eat and something to drink
lot o warm but harmless nature. Law
yers, doctors, merchants, mechanics,
hotel men aud realty brokers have
bent their backs to the toll and have
found compensation for blistered
hands and aching backs in the lovely
flower gardens of the city.
