THE "YoRk COUNTY FAIR"

Despite the fact that times are hard
and little money is in circulation, the
York County Fair association, opened
at Rock Hill, Wednesday morning with
the enterprising corps of directors and
employees at their respective posts,
and the exhibit buildings filled to
overflowng with various products
raised in York county, which exhibits
demonstrate the fact that almost ev-
erything can be raised in this locality.
The cattle pens are filled with fine
specimens of various breeds, and the
poultry pens are also filled with many
and various kinds of fowl.
The beautiful horses and mules have
received much praise and had it not
Leen for the exceedingly rough
weather yesterday there would have
been some horse racing worth seeing.
Owing to the rainy and disagreeable
weather of yesterday. the directors
have decided to continue the fair
through tomorrow. The elaborate
fireworks display will be held tonight
instead Of last night as previously ad-
vertised Today is education day and
numerous school children from differ
eut sections of the county are in at
tendance. The Winthrop students have
been given a holiday today and most
of them have taken advantage of the
opportunity to visit the fair.
The fair directors have not been
laggard in their preparations. Four
bands-the Glib Green negro band, a
carnival band and the TirZah and Hick-
ory Grove bands have been employed,
a nd in nit Of roin r
tendance the bands have furnished as
good music and as much music, as
though the grounds were filled to
overtiowing There are numerous
amusement places within the grounds,
and the authorities have taken eSpe-
cial care to see that all the exhibit
tions are of a high moral tone. The
aviator employed for the week has not
made flight as yet owing to weather
conditions, but is expected to fly today
and tomorrow.
Hardly more than 300 people paid
admission to the fair grounds on the
opening day, and there were not more
than q hundred in attendance yester-
day. A heavy rain fell all day yester-
day and the grounds were covered
with water which reached to the shoe
tops. Those present spent practically
the whole day in the main exhibit
building. All other attractions were
closed with the exception Of the res
taurants conducted by several of the
womenS clubs Of Rock Hill and others,
who disposed Of a number Of sand
wiches and other eatables.
