PLAN FOR A COUNTY FAIR

The Fifth National Corn Ex-
position, which has been held at
our state capital, closes tonight
at II o'clock. The people of
this county, who have visited
the show express themselves
as highly delighted with what
they saw and are impressed
with the fact that South Caro-
lima and particularly Lancaster
county, is one of the best farm
ng sections in the country. We
hope the suggestion in our last
issue of Mr.. S. f. Bales, who
by the way is a distinguished
graduate of the agricultural de-
partment of Clemson College,
will lead to the organization, at
an early date, of a county fair
for Lancaster county. Both
farmers and business men who
have gathered inspiration from
the stupendous national event
in Columbia should make up
their minds to hold an annual
fair in this county, at which
| prizes will be awarded for the
| best farm products.

WHY NOT BRYAN?

The News and Courier,
Charleston Post, and possibly
other dailies in the state, seem
to have had their bile stirred
up over the prospect of MIR.
Bryan being appointed Secre-
tary of State by President
elect Wilson. Why not Mr..
Bryan? Was he not the lead
ing spirit in the Baltimore con-
vention and the idol of the
Democratic party today? Does
not Mr.. Wilson owe his nomina-
tion by the national Democratic
convention to Mr.. Bryan? We
would have thought less of Mr..
Wilson if he should not have Of
fered the premiership to him.
And when offered to him, why
should he not accept? If the
policies advocated by both Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan are not
carried out. the country will
either lapse back into the hands
of the Republican party or will
go skyrocketing into the hands
of the Bull Moose party. 1t
seems to us instead of the
newspapers poking fun at Mr..
Bryan, they should do so at the
President-elect who stands on
the same platform with him,
but of course, they will not do
this.

GEORGE S. LEGARE.

George S. Legare, the Con-
gressman of the first congress
sional district, who died last
Thursday, was a man of un-
usual parts, judging from his
public record of ten successive
years in Congress and the trib-
utes paid his memory by all of
the Charleston papers, where
he lived. Among other things,
The News and Courier has this
to say of him:
"To him public office meant
opportunity for service, and he
scorned to win office except un-
der the colors which he expect
ed to fly always while holding
it. No man ever had any diff
cutly finding out where he stood
on any public proposition, and
he was seemingly wholly indif-
ferent as to the popularity or
unpopularity of his political
views"
In these days of office-seek-
ing and office-holding, by pand-
ering to whatever seems to be
popular, it is refreshing to read
of man like Mr.. Legare. On
account of his bad health, he
did not occupy his seat much
during the present Congress,
but he was so much liked by
all who knew him that, though
absent, he accomplished more
than many men of either party
who were in their seats and in
good health. His brother Con-
gressmen did not let the inter-
ests of his district suffer. He
had been reelected in the re-
cent election for another full
term.

WAR IN ROCK HILL.

Can't Charlie Spencer and
John Roddey, mayor of Rock
Hill and president of the cham
Der of commerce, respectively,
constitute themselves as a
board of peace commissioners
to negotiate terms of peace be-
tween The Record and The
Herald, the two warning news
papers of that city? We were
under the impression that Rock
Hill was a Good Town" and
that everything in it, including
the newspapers, had but one
aim and purpose, viz: the
boosting of Rock Hill. But 10,
and behold the two leaders of
public sentiment in that COM
munity are graphing, so to
speak, at each others throatS.
Peace, contemporaries, peace,
at any cost! If the commits
sioners suggested fail to ter
inmate hostilities, we will then
be prepared to recommend as
The Yorkville En-
quirer and The Fort Mill Times,

Professor Hand aptly says

unfortunately are not, hence
their failure to give satisfaction
in many communities.

placing the statute of Andrew
Jackson, her adopted son, in
Statuary Hall, The Charlotte
Observer says, "If the sculp-

Hickory should stand in North

North Carolina has too many
native sons of eminence, such
as Vance and Aycock, without
coming across the line to claim
"Old Hickory" who everybody,
but long-haired men and short
haired women know was born
in Lancaster county, South
Carolina.

THE PRESIDENTSJUDICIAL
APPOINTMENTS.

President Taft has appointed
more judges than any other
President, his record being 65
out of 146 federal judges and
five out of nine judges of the
Supreme Court of the United
States. His administration is
remarkable, not only for this
unusual number of appoint
ments, but for the ability of the
men chosen to preside over
these courts. He made a care
full selection, because he real
lied the Importance of the judi
cial branch of the government
and wanted the best men to
hold office in it. The President
was not PARTISAN in his choice
of these judges, but exercised
such care in the selection of
able and upright men, that the
whole country has given him
