both highly entertaining and exciting.
"Then the pay attractions are of the
highest order, clean and. refined. OF
these, the most popular seem to be
the Egyvtian Hall, wherein are featur-
ed the Dunbars with a mysters and,

THE FAIR.

The great event towards which
we looked forward for several weeks
with pleasurable anticipation, is
past, but the memory of our first
county fair and the good results of
it, will, we trust, remain to cheer
and encourage us in the days to
come. Many of our good people
thought 1t could not be held this
year, that because of the prevail
ing depression, the people were not
In the humor for 1t but Secretary
Ellison was wise enough to see that
the fair was just what we needed.
Nothing else so clearly sets before
the eyes and minds of people,
their blessings and their opportu-
mites, as representative display
of their resources, such as we have
so recently enjoyed. Let US give
a large share of the credit to Secre-
tary Ellison, that splendid optimist
who saw tina tthe possibility was in
us and showed us how to carry it
through. Mr.. Ellison was ably as
sisted by the commercial body which
was so fortunate as to secure his
services as we'll as by other man end
women, too, who helped him to
carry out the project. Hurrah,
then, for the county fair May it
grow and prosper rs the years go by.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL BASIS
NEEDED.

Col e. ]. Watson, state commits
sioner of agriculture, never spoke
a greater truth than when he told
the farmers of Lancaster county in
his speech last Friday. that they
would have to "bdild up a new agri-
cultural basis on live stock and
things to eat" Heretofore that
basis has been cotton and the Eu-
ropean war, whose end no man can
forecast, has shattered the whole
agricultural structure. The re-
sources of the whole South are in
vester in cotton, which will for
some time be drag upon
the market. Everybody is af-
fected by the appalling condi-
ton that confronts them What
about the future? King Cotton has
been dethroned. The farmer will
be wise if he will let him alone and
change entirely his method of farm
ing. But in doing this he should
have the cooperation of ell business
interests. In this connection The
Spartanburg Herald aptly says:
THE farmer, if left to himself.
may not be in a position to see how
far-reaching this thing is. He may
be man of limited appreciation Of
the economic conditions through
out the country. He may not be able
to see further than his own cotton
patch, and he may reach the con-
'clusion that all this talk about
change in methods is intended for
the other fellow and not for him
self. The great majority OF the
men on the farms in the South are in
that class. ..-.-f A.|
This being the case,swe arsyfirm-
ly of the opinion that this ,pgricul-
tural revolution, If it u brought
about 1T all, must be brought about
by the business men Of ,the South.
The bankers. the lawyers, the mer-
chants, the preachers and the news
paper meE have got to enlist for
the war. 1t is not short war,
either. BY the right sort of an
awakening, it coulG be done in
season, almost; but 1T would take
every agency in the commonwealth
laboring day in and day out to do
ii in that time. 1t is great big
job, but with intelligent co-opera-
tion on the part of ali interests it
can be done and the whole state
made richer and more prosperous bv
the operations.
