HE SAW, BUT THINKS CLAREN-
NON CAN GO US ONE BETTER.
Finding myself director OF the
Clarendon County Fair association
member of the publicity committee
chairman of the premium committee
and what-not, it occurred to me that
Clarendon could have as creditable a
fair as any county in the State and
that nothing was needed to insure
,,ccess hut the knowledge of what
others are doing and have done. Con-
ME Mack, the great baseball manag-
er, has a plan for breaking IN young
nitcbers. He sends in the younester
and keepshim in the box, even thousn
the opposing team hammers MS OF
fer;nes all over the lot. Then ne
keens him out of the game until
svme star pitcher has bad DAY anu
is hammered around. This near'ehS
the youngster and fills him with the
conviction that since all pitchers
have bad days, he may strike MS
stride and develop into a star. Inc
nlan has succeeded. That is about
the feeling we must arouse within
onrselves-that we can do as we'll as
Williamsburg, because Clarendon is
.s oood a county as Williamsburg
in fact, shade better.
Iwent to Kingstree Tuesday anu
went a long way to the fair ground.
While approaching the enclosure the
lovely lilt of Metz's band came to me
IN cloud of dust. And that suggests
se,eral things. Why not water the
streets leading to our fair? Nothing
gets on ones nerves more poignant
" than to have clouds OF Dust set'ie
on him when he goes merry-maSlng'
in his best bib and tucker. Then let
nc wafer the streets several times
-, lo, Colonel we are looking
YOUR way, knowing that the mayor
and council of our good town will be
forward, looking men and women ana
according to Hoyle. Of course we
.ball have a band, a good band, to
oct the crowding throngs inspired
The band will play Tipperary' too'
probably couple of dozen t'mes'
When Metz's band was here last
manv of us had read of Tipperary
but did not know the piece. 50
Randmaster Metz played it three
times consecutively for some VINO
had Just heard it. but asked IN 'gno-
rance of what they had heald. but
that's all right We shall have lip
perary if the horns blow out.
But that is distinctly good fair
.,,r ne;rhhors are having. 1t IS their
first effort and they have no reason
to feel other than gratified. Ihey
have done we'll. There were not
many Kingstree ladies at the fair
That is mentioned because our own
neonle make the same mistake.
When a man and his family have
driven fifteen miles to something IN
Manning that has been advertised as
worthy of their time it is a DIT dis-
appointing to have our people ooth
IGNORANT of the affair and indiffer-
ent to it. But, then, we'll all be out
to the fair, won't we? Come on you
good folk of Sardinia, New Zion, Iur-
beville, ,Seloc, DuRant, Trinity, Alcolu'
Wilson, Bloomville. Foreston, Jordan
Davis Station, Summerton, st Paul.
Silver. Paxville, Pinewood, Tlndal'
Panola and other points we may
have overlooked. Well all be there
the queenly matrons, the beWitch-
ing debutantes. the courtly sons OF
ancient chivalry and the young pll-
lars upon whom society rests.
Back to our muttons: Shortly al
ter entering the grounds, just after
being held up by the gateman Tor
four bits-the nerve of charging a
newspaper man all that money-lt
was my rare pleasure to get IN with
