Fair VIII Tell Of states Wealth.

Present Indications are that the
approaching state fair, October 20.
20, inclusive, will attract the largest
crowd that has ever advanced upon
the capital city for such an event.
An unusually attractive and COM
prehensive feature introduced this
year Is the harvest! jubilee celebra-
tion: The plan Is statewide in scope,
and establishes a bond Of intimate
relation with each Of the A counties
in South Carolina, which has been
asked to submit candidate for the
harvest jubilee queen coronation.
Nearly all the counties in the state
are participating.
In connection with the harvest
jubilee. the parade to be held We'd.
nesday afternoon will emphasize as
never before the native wealth and
natural resources Of the state. Seven
'een counties have already sgned up
for floats in the parade, as we'll as
six or seven cities. An effc> is be.
ing made to emphasize the particular
resource from each locality and
some unusually attractive and sug-
gestive designs are being planned
Clemson College will enter three
floats, to demonstrate its own EFFORT
to utilize the resources OF the state
The corn club boys and canning club
girls Will have an interesting exhibit
l.. l., Baker, state supervisor Of the
boys clubs, plans to bring as many
as 100 of the youngsters to the "big"
show" This he thinks will be easily
accomplished In that the entrance fee
of $40 for all corn club exhibits has
been cancelled and additional prizes
offered
The battles on the gridiron will
also be potent drawing card for the
fair crowds. Five games are to be
played in Columbia fair week with
possibility of another being added to
the lists. Three of those contests are
to be on the grounds Of the fair asso-
citation, whore ample seating capacity
for the attending crowds will be ar
forded
special effort Is being made to
assemble an exceptional wide variety
and rich collection OF agricultural ex-
hibitS, live stock and farm imple-
ments. This is receiving undue at
tention this year by virtue of the ef-
forts to withstand the economic dis
rupton incident to the European war.
No street attractnons Will be offer
ed this year, all concessions being
carried to the fair grounds. where
the gates will be thrown open each
afternoon at $50 o'clock
From different counties efforts are
being made to bring large aggrega-
tions Of school children to the fair,
these being admitted at a special
rate. The superintendent Of the
schools Of Darlington county has or
dered a holiday and 1000 children
