THAT BIG FAIR.

Everything looms up bright and
promising for the Third Agricultural
District Fair
Contracts for the erection of the five
buildings of the fair have been lets
work will begin at once, and they will
be pushed to completion just as fast
as possible.
Secretary Manager Hyman, assisted
by the various committees Of the Fair
association, is busy every minute
working out the details of the enter
prise, making contracts with exhibit
ors, laying plans for the buildings,
sheds, ETC., besides the endless other
duties that daily confront them.
Those having the enterprise in
charge are determined to make this
the biggest and best fair in the state
or the Southern states, as for that, not
even excepting the State Fair that is to
be held in Macon.
There is no reason why it should
not be, situated as We are almost in
the heart of the district, accessible
from every direction, it becomes at
once the ideal spot for holding and
building up an enterpris esuch as the
Third Agricultural District Fair is
bound to be.
Aside from these things the fair is
bound to prove of incalculable value
to this section. Large crowds will
Gene here, they will become acquaint-
ed with our people, see our town and |
become acquainted with our
local conditions, enjoy our climate and /
the hospitality of our people.
We prophesy big things for Amer !
cus, Sumter county and the Third
district as result of the Third Agri-
cultural District Fair.

To STUDY MARKETS
OF SOUTH AMERICA

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "A
complete report on the markets for
materials and machinery
in South America is to be made by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Con-
merce, and in its preparation a repre-.
setative of the Bureau will conduct
an investigation covering all the
southern Republics.
The Bureau intends to offer for the
benefit of American business men such
information and recommendations as
will lay substantial foundation for
trade extension in the lines mentioned.
For the iportant work to be done it
has selected William W. Ewing, who
has had q years experience in en-
gineering and construction work, four
OF which were spent in foreign coun-
tries, and who is a member of the
American Society Of Civil Engineers
and the American Society for Testing
Materials. Mr. Ewing was chief en-
gineer of the Compania General de
Asefatosy Portland, Barcelona, Spain
engineer of tests in the New York De-
partment of buildings for six years
ard engineer-in-charge for a number
of years with some of the largest in
ternational engineering, construction
and equipment companies.
In investigating construction mater
ials, attention will be given to mar
kets for products used IN building
work, heavy engineering construction
and port and road projects, while the
construction machinery on which in.
formation is desired includes devices
equipment and apparatus usually EN-
pioyed in such work. This is one of q
important Investigations to be con
Quoted this year by the Bureau in the
interests of American foreign trade.
Mr.. Ewing will spend the next thre,
months visiting the principal cities o
the United States and comforting will
manufacturers with regard to the worl
he will do in South America. Confer

THE EMPTY CELLS.

Savannah enjoyed the unique dis
tinction the other day of going four
hours without having single occu-
pant in her city cells for four hours.
This is a condition which any city
might proudly boast, and with all due
respect, Savannah deserves bounteous
praise. Her past-with Savannah as
the capital of the state of Chatham,
and with the recent raids on Tybee,
still remains in the minds of Geor-
CLANS.
The Savanna Morning News had the
following interesting editorial:
Because everybody regrets the nee
essity of putting men behind the bars
o: prisons, the people of Savannah
should be glad that for four hours yes
terday there was no prisoner in the
police station. The doors swung open.
For at least a quarter of century, &C
cording to officers who have been mem
bers of the police force for about that
long, the department had not been
without at least one prisoner.
Policemen do not like to make ar
rests, and the better the policeman the
more he regrets having clock men up
in cells. Few policemen become so
hardened to their tasks that they can
take men into custody without pre-
ferring to permit them to go free. They
must have been pleased yesterday,
then, to learn that the cells they are
accustomed to see occupied were empty
and being given an airing.
What was the reason for this I'M
usual condition? There is but one
which is that the en-
of the prohibition laws in
Savannah has largely reduced the
calls for the services of the police.
It may be said confidently that if the
law continues to be enforced as it
should be there will be many hours
when the police station is tenantless
ri persons charged with attractions of
law. And that will be something of
" hich the city may be proud"

MRS. GREEN ON DIVORCES,


Since her recent death many inter-
esting stories have been published
about Mrs. Hetty Green, known as the
richest woman in the world, one of
which is told by the New York World
That paper says that Mrs, Green upon
one occasion was induced to watch a
judge dispose of thirty divorce cases
in one day in a Brooklyn court, and
this was the shrewd old woman's com
ment on her experience:
Divorce Day, they call it! Well
what can you expect? These women
never learn to keep house. They get
married and their sole abition is to
wear fine clothes, bleach their hair
wear gay ribbons and fine Iaces
Home is the last place they want to
think of. They go parading around
with their vulgar styles and think
they are beauties. Next thing their
husbands go parading around, anc
taen trouble begins and they finc
themselves here. Oh, l know, I've
lived around hotels and I know what
these women are!"

LONDON, Aug. sO Assured of one of the best haryests iu nor history and with her armies thoroughly equipped for another winter cam paign. Germany's most critical prob- lems of the present time ia the fact that Roumania has joined the Allies, thus frustrating or seriously harrassing the great blow which she hoped to level at Russia, and the daily increasing weakness of the Austrians
 This is the opinion of two Amerl- can business men who have just reached London. after travelling in different parts of Germany. Both believe the people at large are anA ious for peace, but neither found any serious belief anywhere that the war would end before another nine months.

Austria is now a heavy drain on Germany In some places on the Eastern front was told in the bestinformed quarters. it is absolutely necessary 10 place one German regiment to every two Austrian.
