HAVE 4 COUNTY FAIR. By ALL
MEANS.

Few single agencies could do rs
much effective work in advertising
Sumter county at this especial time
as county fair would do.
Taken in hand at once, with the
proper prizes offered the carious de-
r5rtments, with the interest of thu
farmers and merchants aroused, there
is hardly a question but that it could
be made a complete success.
But if anything is to be done it
must be done Immediately. 1t is too
Lite to permit of any wasted time
Either the movement must be pushed
quickly, vigorously and without ces-
sation. or it must be abandoned until
next year.
Sumter has so many things to enter

this section in diversification of agri-
culture, that county fair would be 4

made to include Lee, Webster ana

three counties being so closely asso-
ciated with Sumter in every way that
their people would probably hearth.

county in ipsuring the success of tht

The fair idea is a good one. i

GOOD CONDITIONS ARE
REPORTED FOR CROPS
Farmers are Now Busy Kill
ing Grass

The few farmers called to Americas
yesterday by attendance upon court re-
ported excellent conditions prevailing
in the cotton fields of Sumter since
the rains ceased and the sunshine
came back. 1t is excellent grass
killing weather, the kind so much
needed, and as grass was rapidly Sc
curing a strong hold upon the cotton
fields the opportunity now given the
farmers to fight it is appreciated.
Conditions generally have improved
materially within the past few days,
and a week of such weather as now
prevails will put the fields in good
trim once more. The fact that cot
ton is willing in some localities causes
apprehension, though farmers are ra-
Their inclined to think this the result
of unreasonable weather and hign
winds rather than to that dread dis
ease of the cotton plant, black root.
