THE TIMERS DAM.

In letter to the Sun William S

MT care a tinkers malediction."
This contribution, and others who so
often use a corruption of expression
'tinkers DAM" all seem to assume that
it is a profane expression. AS mat
ter of fact it is nothing of the sort,
and those who assume it is do no.
know its real origin or meaning.
Years ago, as is we'll known wand
ering thinkers or timers were common
in almost every community. Carryin 9
their soldering kit in their hands,
these tinsmiths would go from kitchen
to kitchen, mending leaky pots, pans
and kettles In those days the art OF
soldering had not been perfected by
the use of acid, which causes the sol
der to adhere to that spot covered by
the muriatic acid solution.
To prevent the solder from spread
ing these wandering tinsmiths would
obtain from the housewife a chunk OF
dough, which they would form into a
circular daw around the hole to be sol
dered up This practice was universal
with them. Often, however, having no
dough on hand, the housewife would
furnish instead a soft batter.
This was of very little value for the
purpose intended, as was many times
the thin dough furnished. The dam
made from such material would be
practically useless. The tinker's dam
was known to every household. Half
the time the dam was useless on &C
count of the poor material. Hence the
expression became common, mot
worth tinker's dam"
There is no profanity about it.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

1t is the plan Of Americas and
Sumter county to have fair. This
feature of any county is invaluable
in its exhibits, contests and advertise
ment of the county's products and cit
izenship. The following interesting
editorial from the Savannah Morning
News is printed anent the fair ques-
ton:
There are not very many men Left
in South Georgia who do not approve
of county fairs. Or, if indeed they
still are numerous, they know they are
in the minority and are keeping quiet.
Certainly the great majority of the
/ farmers and business men approve
them because they know they can be
made a powerful factor in the more
rapid development of the country dis
tricts, and consequently Of the cities
and towns. 1t would be hard to find a
reasonable argument against them,
while the things that can be said il
their favor are many. About the only
reasonable objection that has been Of
fered in any county against holding a
fair this fall is that the money to
finance it couldn't be raised, and yet
there isn't county in which, if the
right sort of effort had been made, the
necessary money couldn't have beer
obtained.
"Of course, with proper management
the money a fair costs isn't wasted. l.
is invested, and we'll invested. 1t
brings in good returns in many ways
by improving farming methods, by
stimulating farmers to seek greater
yields per acre, by helping along the
movement for diversified farming, in
creasing the social pleasures of farm
ers and their wives, and giving OPP
portunity for the exchange Of farming
experiences and for talk, about coop
: erative marketing of crops. Very few
! fairs that really failed to be & good in.
: vestment have been held in the state
and of course as their promoters gaig
experience in handling them and more
and more business men and farmer
see their value they will be more wort
while.
This fall there likely will be more
2 fairs in Georgia than ever before il
/ one year. That may seem surprising
; in view of the low price of cotton dur
ing the last year, but that it is truc
shows how wide awake the farmers o.
the state are getting to be. 1t is only
necessary to read the weekly eX-
: changes to find out why it is true
They favor holding fairs and give 8
great deal of space to them, arousing
; interest in them, publishing lists OF
, premiums and urging the preparation
of exhibits. That the success of many
fairs is largely owing to their efforts
, is plain.
And that so many fairs ale to be
held is the very best evidence of how
far South Georgia has progressed in
its efforts to get away from the all
cotton plan, to reach the point where
