COMM UNITY FAIR
WAS "A REVELATION

community fair of the Mountain Creek
school district. A surprise to the resi-
dents of the school district, the event
struck ose present from the city and
other J. nts as most remarkable
affair.
Three Weeks In Making.
A feature of the fair probably un-
known to great many Of the visit
ors from a distance, and one Of which
the residents of the district are fond
of reminding one, is that the idea Of
q community fair was conceived, de-
veloped and carried to elimination
within the incredibly short period of
three weeks. Still another OF the out
standing features CT the fair is the
fact that there are within the Noun
tain Creek school district only about
20 families. How such a large and
varied exhibit as that shown yester.
day could be gathered in the spac
of three weeks and contributed by
but 40 families struck those who wer<
cOgnizant Of these facts as truly re-
marknble..
A Varied Collection.
Enumeration of the various pro-
ducts shown at the fair would be little
short of an impossibility, and there
fore, the best that can be done at this
time 1t to classify them. There were
seven great CLASSES Of exhibits. as fol-
lows: Canned goods and bread, fancy
work, antiques, school work, flowers,
farm products and livestock.
On long tables, beside the school
house were grouped the farm. pro-
ducts. There was corn, cotton, oats,
wheat, peas, sweet potatoes, Irish po>
tatoes. turnips, beets. pumpkins, Pc
cans. peanuts. tomatoes, syrup, etc.
Several of the specimens were declar-
ed to be es fine as. any of the kind
ever seen alta state fair. In neat pens
and crates. placed in a nearby. grove.
were various specimens OF poultry,
such as turkeys. geese. guineas, chick
ems. pigeons and peafowls. Poultry
fancier could have found here feas.
for the eye that would have occu-
pied their attention for q full day. In

live stock exhibit were mules. horses,
colts, swine, COWS, goats etc.
The Educational Phase.

live stock exhibit were mules, horses,
colts, swine. COWS. goats etc.
The Educational Phase.
Not all of the program was devoted
to the exhibition Of fine stock. farm
products. poultry and flowers, the
viewing of the tempting specimens of
the culinary art or the admiring of
the beautiful creations Of the needle.
In the adjacent church building splen-
did talks were made On educational
and agricultural topics by well known
authorities.
This feature of the days program
was in charge of County Superintend-
ent of Education ]. B. FELTON,. The Rev.
r. H. Harris opened the exercises
with prayer and welcomed the yisi-
tors to the Mountain Greek Community
Fair. The first speaker of the day was
Mr.. Lueco Gunter. State Supervisor
OF Rural Elementary Schools. who is
spending fortnight In Anderson
County visiting the rural graded
schools of this section. The speaker
had been assigned the subject OF edu-
cation. He treated practically hut one
phase of the broad subject, making
plea for the localiZation of teach
ing in the common schools, that Is,
the teaching of practical subjects or
those subjects which are most useful
to the pupil in his vocation. He stress.
ed the need for teachers of this day
specializing in their chosen branches
of study. that Is acquiring all tho
knowledge possible about that subs
ject which they are to teach. Having
outlined his address, the speaker point
ed out that the great problem con-
fronting the patrons of the rural
schools was the providing of the ru-
raj schools adequate facilities. both
in number of teachers and equipment.
He deplored the fact that in some
counties of South Carolina was still
to be found the one-teacher school,
and expressed the hore that soon
there would be not only 10 one-teach>
er schools in the state but few two
teacher schools. Mr.. Gunter was &C.
corded the closest attention through
out his address, and his remarks
doubtless deeply impressed his hear
ers.

Some Of the sediments of this age, now harden ed into rocks, were deposited in ca shallow sea, some about the mouths Of rivers. and some perhaps in the flood plains of the rivers themselves All these different types of sediments, as found in the eastern Gulf region, are described in the United States.

 The paper is of interest to those living in the eastern Gulf region not only as Illustrating the geology of the area but as indicating the distT1bu- ton of certain types of rocks As the soil is made in 1arge>part by the slow decay of the underlying rock, it naturally follows that certain sorts of rock furnish better soil and subSod1 than others By1neanS of the map included in the report the extent of different geologic formations can be traced.

TIMELY THOUGHTS

Order the rest of your garden seeos-
 Watch the hotbeds closely.
 Bank hotbeds with dry manure as it is not so likely to freeze and take heat from the bed.
 Make cuttings now Of all mouse plants that are to be planted out this spring.
 Sort over and pick out all decayed vegeta bles and fruit in the cellar.
 Place a teaspoonfuI of hydrochiorlc acid in the poultry drinking water once week to keep the digestive tract in good condition.
 Set the bulk of the eggs now or within two weeks
 Give the hen houses more open front in order to do away with dampness.
 Start early cabbage, tomato, lettuce and pepper plants in hotbeds now or in the house windows.
 Order those apple trees.
 Give hens beef scraps or cut bone and alfalfa.
 Start spraying with lime sulphur for San Jose scale.
 Finish working up seasons wood supply.
 Prune currant bushes.
 Do not uncover strawberry plants too early.
 Sell the rest of your apples now while market is good and before southern vegeta bles arrive
 Cut choice scions for spring graft ing.

merge 1t The submereence of tba land was greater at one time than it is now. In excavations for some of the New York skyscrapers remains of oysters and other Sa~t-Water animals have been found. As rule the only available Knowledge in regard to the former submergence of an area is derived from the marine shells and other animals found in deposits laid down by the sea By the nature of the fossils geologists are able to tell approximately when the ocean invad- ed the land They have fosfnd evi- dence of a Submergence of much greater magnitude and much older than that which now floods tine Hud- son Paaley. Gothamites and others need not, however, feel alarmed at this statement of the ups and downs of the continent, for while geo1ogicaIly this subnergence is not so very old. the geoFogfst thinks and speaks in terms of thousands if not million of years
 Sharks Teeth Found in New Jersey.
 Along the Atlantic coast, from New Jersey southward, it Is not unusual to find quantities of sharks teeth and
 other marine fossils in the green sands that are now located far inland and are used for fertilizers Tn yer tain sections of the southern MississiD- pi Valley where limestone is not read fly accessible a farmer will go out and gather wagon load Of fossil oyster shells to burn for lime. The shark bearing rocks of New Jersey and the oyster beds of Tennessee are of the same general age and represent one of the later of the great invasions of the ocean on the North American contin- nent.

ANCIENT HISTORY OF

 cred Large Portions Of the South.

Mast people know in a general
 way that large portions of the United States have in the past been covered by the ocean, but it is perhaps not so generally known that the continent is now rising in some places and sink ing in others. There is every reason to believe that minor movements of the land are constantly taking place. Not so very long ago. in a geologic sense the Hudson River flowed through a deep canyon gorge at New York City Soundings show that this gorge extends through the harbor and far out to sea- It Is evident that the land surface has been lowered in this region, allowing the ocean to creep in on the land, fill the old river channel and in places wholly sub-

 Has the tango penetrated to the wilds of Iron River, Mich? If a 8reA port in a socialist paper is to be be- Heved, four schooImas ans of that town have been discharged for dancing the tango and kissing young men in pub lie. Perhaps 1t is case Of attTTb- uting any and all reported impro- prieties to the tango.
 Has the public forsaken the high priced theatres for the 'tmovies? A veteran Chicago manager has retired fro mthe theatrical business after 30 years experience, and blames the movies for the decline in the general theatrical business The public no longer has it's favorites on the legitf- mate stage, he says. and the actors themselves are becoming mere pup pet. Perhaps the making of stars by process of advertisement had some thing to do with the los of devotion which stage people, as a whole, have undoubtedly suffered.
 .sZanzibar in London" reads a head line. There has been no geograpIi- cal upheaval. however; the island with the name that has attracted many writers of coon songs still bathes her fevered shores in the Indian ocean. The headline only means that the bishop of Zanzibar, who started the celebrated Kikuyu controversy, has arrived in London to press his charg- es of heresy against two of his Epis- copaI colleague for having admitted non-conf ornists to the church com munion at a missionary conference. Public opinion is practically unani nous on the side of the accused bish- ops. but the bishop of Zanzibar is~ a man of importance, being amiddIe- aged clergyman of fine character and a thinker of ability.
