ORANGEBURG COUNTY FAIR.
VIII Be the Largest and Best Fair
in South Carolina.

A comparison Of the County Fairs
OF the Past in South Carolina with
those of the present would furnish an
interesting study. The patch work
quilt, made by hand, and represent
ing hours of tedious wo:t: on the
Fart of the housewife, and made from
the accumulated scraps from worn
out garmens, that had found their
way to the rag bag, was usually the
center of attraction and interest in
the art exhibit.
The agricultural exhibits in those
days would be interesting now only
because of their crIdeness, and be-
cause of the progress they would
prove has been made. Features for
the amusement or entertainment OF
visitors, consisted mainly in occasion
al horse or mule races. Carnival and
midways, and free acrobatic. or CHER
exhibitions were unknown. The eX-
htbits in, all departments were from
the county, in which the Fair was
held, and few came to see them from
beyond the county lines.
It is indeed a far cry from the
Fairs of that period, to the entertain
ing, instructive, modernized and ed
ucatiye fair that is to be held IN
Orangeburg on November 18th to the
18th, inclusive. The Orangeburs
County Fair Of 1911 was a remark
able success, from every standpoint,
but the fair of 1912 will probably
eclipse anything of the kind ever held
in South Carolina. Every Depart
ment has it's experienced manager,
and no expense has been spared to
make the Fair this year a mammoth
exposition Of the advancement, along
all lines. of this section Of the State.
Everything is arranged for the in
structive entertainment Of the thous-
ands who will come to Orangeburg
during Fair Week.
Twenty thousand dollars has been
expended in the improvement OF the
grounds and buildings during the
past few months, and hye thousand
dollars has been set aside for prem
iums and prizes. The premiums Of
fered for merit, make it worth while
for exhibitors to bring their products
and already practically all of the i'm
mense floor space for exhibits has
been applied for. Visitors to the Fair
will have an opportunity Of learning
just what is being done and can be
done in our State.
The program for each day is re-
plete with features that cannot. fail
to instruct and entertain. On Ed
ucational Day, November y, all the
schools of the county will be repre-
sented, and an old time spelling bee.
