TI0NS AT MERIDIAN
r-eridian, r-ias., Oct. 20, 21, e,
%, "a. 25. 1913.

The modern fair is the result of an
evolution brought about by mod rn
social and economic forces, though
the average individual who visits the
Big fairs like the Observation-Disclosures
enterprise has but little appreciation
OF the effort necessary to bring. to-
gether the things which have been as
Gemb Cd for their entertainment and
instruction, and but few visitors ap-
preciate the fact that the big fair al
Merld an at once combines the ad-
yantGGes Of an educational institution
with all that is best and attractive in
the az usement line. 1t is proper,
therefore, to take note of the free at
fractions which are offered by a fair,
as 1t is often the only opportunity
that many people have for seeing the
modem features that years agc could
only be secured by the big circuses
viii h traveg"d the country.
One Of the best free attractions this
year at tie Observation-Disclosures Fair
is the wonderful Yamato Jananese
troune, which inclu'es the celebrated
Omura and son, whose salary reaches
such figures that they could not be
employed except for the fact that the
leading fairs Of the South have form
ed an association for the purpose Sc
curing these features. The Marvel.
Gus Mells will also be among the list
Of free acts, doing traneze feats
which have made them famous all
over the United States. In the list of
the free acts will be included the five
Ferris Wheel Girls, a distinctly new
act, and one that has been heralded
as a dazzling spectacle Of beauty; the
Dellamead Troupe Poses F.astique
and Ancient Roman statuary; Madam
Galarno in sensational ladder act
are additional features in this line of
entertainment, but the real side-split.
ting feature is said to be Finks Com
edy Mules, which includes Pete"
aptl? described as some mule what
am hard to ride"
In summing up the exclusive free
features which could not have been
seen in this section of the country ex-
cept for the Ni5sissippi-Alabama Fair,
TO the foregoing add the Magnificent
Mystical Pageant, the SPLENDID Cav
airy Band, Nicholas Chefalo in his
hazardous Loop the Loop, and you
have a program which is alone worth
three times the price Of admission,
and the opportunity is so great that
every friend of the Fair and every
citizen Of Alabama ard Mississippi
should constitute themselves a spe.
cial boosting committee 10 see to it
that every one knows al about the
Fair and to urge them to ancnd al
least one day to avail themselves OF
the wonderful educational and aIauso.
ment features, some Of winch can
only be seen at the fair 1t Meridian.

Haphazznrd County Making.

Agitations have been started in two
or three localities for the establish
ment of new counties out of the ter
ritory of the existing counties.
Has not the time arrived in the
growth of the State when the organ
ization of new county should not be
left wholly to local interest and whim
In numbers of cases new county
movements are born in the CONNER
cial aspirations of small town. The
embyro develops into weekly news
paper. The newspaper is dependent
mainly on local support and legal and
public advertising are important parts
of it's revenues.
Many a newspaper in the past twen-
ty-five years has begun publication
following a new county suggestion and
with the failure of the movement has
died and been forgotten.
In most cases the establishment of
new counties since 1867 has been

ties was. we believe thirty-two. Now
it is 70. flour. Transportation facili-
ties have immensely multiplied since
that day and nov the average rural
dweller is much closer to his court
house than he was then and this
would be true even had no new coun-
ties been created. In some instances
it is probable that the new counties
have increased public expenses with
out corresponding increase of pub
lie advantage.
The State would not go so far as to
say that the formation of new coun-
ties should be stopped, but the time
has come when each case should be
investigated by a commission of out
siders who with open minds could
consider all the interests involved and
make recommendations that would
tend to prevent haphazzard slashing of

Former Laurens Man Leases Hotel
Geer at Bolton. To Take Charge
Fright AWAY.


Geer at BeltOn. To Take Charge
Fright Away.
The Greenville Daily Piedmont of
Saturday afternoon contained an item
from Bolton which will be read with
interest by large number of people
of this city. In it was carried the an
nouncement of the lease of the Geer
Hotel by Mr.. w. A. Jameson. Mr..
Jameson was for long time a resi-
dent of Laurens, where he is still
very pleasantly remembered. The ar
ticle was as follows:
Bolton, May 3.-Mr. H. NJ Geer has
closed a contract with Mr. w. A.
Jameson of Newman, Ga, whereby
Mr.. Jameson secures lease of sew
eral years of the hotel Geer, taking
charge Thursday.
The Hotel Geer is without doubt
one of the most popular hostelries in
the state, the excellent service and
unsurpassed cuisine has made it a
faVorite stopping place with the men
on the road and it has therefore an en-
vious patronage. Mr.. Geer in speaking
of the transfer stated that he had been
very careful in the selection of a sue
cessor from among numerous appli-
cants and gave the assurance that the
same high standard would be main
tanned under the new management
Mr.. Jameson has had twenty years
experience in the hotel business. Mr.
Geer will conduct the hotel at Cae.
sar's Head this summer.

Time TO Look Up.

The Laurens Advertiser strikes a
note which deserves to be echoed:
I'VE have no patience with those
from within our own State who are
always crying Poor Old South Caro-
lina,' and those from without who are
gratuitously Offering us pity. While
1t is too true that some have come to
occupy the high positions of honor
and trust whom We do not recognize
as representatives of the highest and
noblest among the people OF the State.
and while our progress at home and
reputation abroad have suffered con-
siderably thereby, still the State hasn't
yet gone to the bad. The temporary
setback will serve to emphasize the
fact that even before this we have not
kept abreast with the times in many
things and this realization is bound to
give such an impetus to progressive
legislation in the future that our ad-
vancement will be so great as to make
up for the temporary backwardness of
the present. Bleaseism will then ap-
pear not only as q necessary misfor-
tune. but even as blessing in dis
guise."
What The Advertiser says is essenti-
ally true. Nobody will deny that po-
litically South Carolina is in bad
way, but there is neither justification
nor excuse for the manner in which
men who ought to know better are fire.
quently given to pronouncing the sit
uation hopeless. 1t is not hopeless.
On the contrary, conditions are ripe
for such an era of advancement as the
State has never experienced. All that
is needed is bold and intelligent lead
ership. The people are fairly aching
for a leader, for some man who can
interpret to them their needs, who can
point them the way TO progress. There
are plenty of men who are willing to
be Governor, but where is the man
who stands for big things in big
way who knows how to take the
questions which intimately affect the
prosperity and lives of the people and
deal with them with vigor and per-
suasiveness which will make them vi
tai and real? Such a man will not
wait until he gets Office to undertakes
to serve; such man should be active
now in adddessing himself to truths
the force and relevancy of which
would be apparent as son as they
were pressed.
The Advertiser is right when II says
that there has been quite enough of
bewailing. What is wanted now is an
active and unselfish campaign, not
against individuals. but for the welfare
of the Commonwealth. To suggest
that there would not be swift and
sure response on the part of South
Carolinians is to argue lack of ac-
Quaintance with the fact as they have
been revealed clearly and repeatedly.
