THE SCHOOL FAIR.

Such pretty days as these make us
feel that after all, the world is a
right good old place. Here's the top
of the morning to each and all of you
dear readers! The song of the birds
the budding of the trees, the wisteria
vine hanging with fowers-isn't it
worth all the dreary, rainy days that
are now gone and almost forgotten
Some of the farmers are now ready
to plant cotton seed. The little lad
at our house began planting the 21st
Some of us attended and greatly en-
joyed the School Fair, the 18th. The
immense crowd was exceedingly good
humored and withal most orderly. OIL
course, it being our first effort at
anything of the kind we can very
readily see where improvements can
be made for the future. Take the
literary contest, for instance, no
child could do his or herself justice,
nor the school whose representative

sarily existed in the crowded halls
and rooms Of the graded school build
ing. Spell in hub-bub like that?
Read understandingly with noise
like unto that of the Niagara Cataract
in ones ears? These things however
can be remedied and will be. The
fair was a success. Those who were
responsible for it feel that it was
an eye opener to many Laurens
county people. The exhibits were n
credit to the schools. To see them to
an advantage, the tour of inspection
should have been made Saturday.
What impressed me most forcibly per-
haps were the letters to Miss Gray
from foreign born children Of the
East Side in New York, where COM
pulsory education is in force. They
were written in good English, yet the
writer's were all children, and Grip
pied ones at that, of foreign parent
age and doubtless these parents could
not write a word of English. thought
what an object lesson! How many
parents in Laurens county are as
dersely ignorant of their mother ton
quo as are these foreign parents? :?
How many fathers need must make
the humiliating cross mark Politi-
clans yell out when votes are ncces-
sary for their own we'll being "Ours
is the purest blood in America. We
can each and all trace our lineage
back to the days of 1776!" What
booteth this glorious heritage bound

But such a fair as was held the 18th
is like unto a beacon light There
CLEANS a brighter day for South
Carolina-"a day that is near at

cent since 1907, the number of beef
cattle had decreased 80 per cent;
furthermore 222,O00 head of cattle
