PRIZE WINNERS AT
THE COUNTY FAIR

OF 1OOtDall between the second LedInS
of the Clemson and the University Of
Georgia attracted considerable inter-
est and there was quite large crowd
out to see it. Clemson seemed to out
class the University boys and won
easily by the score of 27 to 9.
In the live stock and hog depart
ments the exhibits were very good,
but the cattle exhibit amounted to
practically nothing. There were quite
a number of mule and horse colts
shown, the full list of which will be
found elsewhere.
The exhibits of W. A. Stevenson and
TO. Price in the hog department
brought forth favorable comment. MI
Stevenson showed four sows and
about 80 Poland China and Berkshire
pigs. Otto Price showed a Duroc-Jer-
sey SOW with pigs which attracted a
great deal of attention. Mr.. Stevenson
all together has At pigs and they are
beauties. What Mr.. Stevenson and Mr.
Price are doing with hogs is an evil
dence what others can do.t
It is regretted that there was not
better exhibit in the cattle depart
ment. 1t is known that there are sew
eral breeders of beef cattle in the
county but none of them manifested
enough interest in the Fair to make
an exhibit. ....
On Tuesday a large number OF
Greenwood people attended the FAIR
and brought over 8 or 10 horses which
were shown on Wednesday. SeVeraI
Of the horses shown won prizes at the
recent Horse shows in the State.
The racing for County Owned" on
Tuesday afternoon attracted a great
dea1 Of interest. The following were
the entries:
ALL w. J. Andrews, first; Prince
Norris Wakefield, secand, and FRANK
Geo. Mann, third.
There were four entries for the rae
ing on Wednesday afternoon three
Greenwood horses and one AooeVlile
horse. w. H. Emerson, of Hodges won

GAIL" w. J. Andrews, second "odom
A. R.. Dean, third.

lev, with Calvin Ellis, second and Z. L.
Ashley third.
Miss Addie Woodhurst won first
prize in the Girls Tomato Club con-
test getting SO and a free trip to the
State Fair and Miss Maude Bolts won
second prize of SIS.
The displays by the Girls tomato
club was quite uisappoiii
the number of displays as only two
members made exhibits, Miss Addle
woodhurst and Miss Maude Bolts
Miss Woodhurst exhibited about zoo
cams Of tomatoes, and various fruits
that she had put up herself. MISS
Bolts display was not so large out
showed careful work on her part.
In the agricultural department
Messrs G. N. Nickles, O. S. and H. N
Cochran made their usual good olS-
n,avs. Judging by the exhibits of these
mon they are, evidently, not worried
bv the low price of cotton as they live
at home and raise cotton as sur
n,us Mrs. Oscar Cochran had on eS-
bibition 13O different canned 1rul'S'
vegetables, ETC., and attracted a great
deal of attention.
