Is without charter. An investigation
or the matter reveals the fact that the
charter granted by special act of the

porating the city Of Laurens for per.
lod OF rs years, has expired, and so
iai no general act has been found in

Charles r. Weeks. retiring presi-

sent his address, which was read at
the meeting by William r. Timmons
of Rock Hill, secretary Of the York
county fair. He said in part:
Il do not believe that circuits ar
ranged Oh geographic location will be
successful for three reasons Each
fair spends a different amount of
money for free attractions; different
towns In geographically arranged
circuit are apt to give very different
support to the fair and to the shows;
and amusement companies rate the
fairs differently.
"As you all know. am for an edu-
cational fair, but l am now ready to
confess that we must be careful not
to depend OH educational features at
the expense Of loss in paid admis.
sions. which after all Is the life blood
OF fair. Here Is the principle we
must recognize. Our race came I'D
from savagery through barbarism,
chiValry. to civilization. No doubt our
race spent more time in the barbaric
stage than we have IN the civilized.
The European war shows how easy
II Is to drop back. Science tells us
that every individual repeats the race
history The barbarian likes excite
ment show. glamor noise, rings in
his nose and bracelets on his ankles.
IL we get the people to the fair. that
we may educate them after they get
there, we must appeal to them through
amusements that satisfy their racial
inheritance. OF which we all have our
share. or course 1t Is the duty Of the
falr officers to see that the amuse
ments meets these requirements and
