Columbia, Oct. CIV. w. Long,
State farm demonstrate n agent, was
a visitor to Columbia today, and ex'
pressed himself enthusiastically over
the State fair prospects. Il expect
fully $4,000 people in Columbia on
Thursday, the big day of fair week. y
he said. MIR. Long travels over South
Carolina each week and has an init
mate knowledge of farmers expecta-
tions. They are discussing the State
fair and Harvest Jubilee In every
nook and Granny of the State, he
added. o
Mr.. Longs exhibits will be OF prodi-
gious proportions this year. Forty
six cars will be required to bring the
fruits of farm demonstration efforts to
the State capital. approximately 80
booths are being prepared in she agri-
cultural hall for the reception of this
fiat of the land"
This will include the hive stock ex-
htbits, field crops, dairy products,
poultry, women's work, girls canning
club products and home conveniences.
The Biggest Stunt Of All.
The Harvest Jubilee will be one OF
the heaviest" stunts ever attempted
In the State. The selection OF the
young lady to be crowned queen has
attracted unusual attention in prac-
tioally every county In the State. A
beauty supplement" OF assembled
photographs Of candidates from the
various counties has been widely dis
tributed. More than 100000 copies
of the supplement has been mailed,
and each coupon rs good for 100 votes.
The coronation ceremonies are to take
place on the capital steps on next
Monday evening. The IL young
women receiving the next highest
number of votes will act as maids OF
honor to the queen.
Three football games are to be
played on the fair grounds gridiron
tnts year. Porter Military Academy
and Baylor Training school OF Knox
Vile, Tenn, open the series Tuesday
noon. The following day the Presby-
terian College of South Carolina and
the Citadel will struggle for suprem-
acy. Thursday will see the big
game" in the annual contest between
Clemson and the University Of South
Carolina.
The Two Big Days.
Wednesday is. to be observed as
South Carolina Day." when the nat;
ural resources parade is to be a
unique feature. A long list OF eoun-
ties and individual cities has been
listed for floats" in the parade.
Thursday has been designed "a
Columbia Day." and IS to be featured
with a $4,000 trades display" This
will be the most gigantic venture
ever attempted by the commercial
bodies of Columbia, and the floats" to
be entered are both beautiful and at
tractive in design. Other incidents
of the fair, which promise to make 1t
lne most successful ever held in the
State will be the enlarged exhibits
of livestock and agricultural imple-
ments; the usual full program Of
racing events; and the participation
by corn club boys and canning club
girls. At no. time has there. been
such an excessive demand for con-
cessions for space, and the indicated
attendance far surpasses that of pre-
vious~ years. The official program
follows: H..
