ALMOST DEAD TO EXPLODE IT,
HITS AT ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

1t will be surprise to number
of people to learn that Rev b +
McLendon, the evangelist, voted for
Blease in the last primary. The well
known preacher says he could have
elected Blease by telling what he
knows, and why he voted for him,
but we are afraid that he has simply
made a mistake in men, or has been
badly fooled in some way. Having
taken this viewpoint of the race, it
would have been untrue to his char
acter to have denied it, and we find
the following letter from him to
Rev Pierce Watson admitting his
action:
"A little fellow by the name Of
Rogers at Florence has distributed
telegram that he sent me and my
reply over the State. l never do
anything that is covered up. And

WILLIAMSBURG
COUNTY FAIR.

EARNEST APPEAL BY The fkESA-
DENT TO PEOPLE OF COUNTY TO
HELP MAKE IT BIG SUCCESS.
To those interested in Williams
burg county's educational, agricul-
tural and social progress and devel-
opment, we wish to say few words
on the part of Williamsburg County
Fair association.
Our fair was organized in the
spring of 1914, the year of the out
break of the terrible European war.
and because of the demoralized con-
dition that prevailed in our midst,
the executive committee thought it
best to postpone the holding of our
first fair that fall, afterwards. how
ever, many of our people expressed
regret over the postponement. We
held, as you know. a very creiitable
fair last season, and at recent call
meeting of our executive committee,
it was unanimously decided that we
should hold our fair this year as
originally scheduled. November S-ll.
inclusive, despite the adverse storm
conditions that are facing US, and
that the Finance and Building COM
rnittee be authorized to 60 ahead
with the necessary improvement
work that we might hold even bet
ter and larger fair than last year.
The Building committee has put in
fifty additional stalls for horses
doubled the capacity for the accom-
modation for hogs, and added much
to the seating capacity of the grand
stand. The committee on show
track improvements will have the
track in fine shape and a new house
for the poultry will have ample &C.
commodation for all who have breeds
to exhibit. The poultry show bids
fair to being one of the leading fea-
lures of the fair.
Our Entertainment committee has
written Governor Manning asking
him to be with US on opening day;
Prof Daniels of Clemson College for
Educational Day, and Congressman
A F Lever for Agricultural Day.
Our secretary has secured free at
fractions for the entertainment of
spectators, also a clean, high class
carnival and other tent attractions
for your enjoyment and amusement.
The heads of the different depart
ments are urged to get busy, along
with each executive committeeman
and all others really interested in

BIG EXHIBITION
AT 0RANCEBURG,
SOUTH CAROLINA CATTLE CON
FERENCE WILL BE HELD NEXT
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY


Orangeburg, October 1:-South
Carolina farmers are going into the
live stock business. They are rapid
ly placing their agriculture upon a
basis of prosperity and profit rather
than the huctuating values of a one
crop harvest. Forward steps are
being taken in every direction, and
one of the most vitally important
meetings ever held in this State is
the South Carolina Live Stock Ex-
position and Cattle Conference which
will meet in Orahgeburg October II
and IL. The opening address will
be delivered by Congressman A F
Lever.
This beneficial meeting is to be
held under the joint auspices of the
Southern Settlement and Develop
ment Organization and the Orange
burg Chamber of Commerce. Co.
operating with these bodies are
Clemson College, the State Agricul-
tural Department, the Federal De-
partment of Agriculture, and other
interested organizations. Ithas been
approved and largely praised by
leading farm specialists in this State.
and by many owners of live stock.
The nation will eventually look to
the South for its meat supply, and
it behooves every farmer and land
owner to consider the possibilities
that this coming industry may have
in store for him. The establishment
of packing houses at Orangeburg,
Greenville, and scores of other
Southern cities, are beacons along
the path of progress in Southern
agriculture and point the way to a
more glorious harvest of the natural
possibilities of our soil and situation.
To the forward looking farmer the
South Carolina Live Stock Exposi-
ton and Conference is an occasion
that cannot be missed.
Among the leading agricultural
authorities and speakers who will at
tend this conference are these we'll
known personaees: DR. w X Lewis,
leader of the campaign for the erad-
ication of the cattle tick; E j Wat
son, State Agricultural Commission
er; DR. W W Long, the far-seeing
director of the farm demonstration
work in South Carolina who had ad-
yanced our farm industries as no
other man has been able to do; Con-
, gresham A F Lever, chairman of
the great House Agricultural COM
mittee; and others. The subjects to
be discussed include the following:
Breeds and Results, Sizes and
Weights, Grace Stock and Thorough
breds. Range Conditions, Pastures,
Forage Crops and Rotation, Silos
and Silage, Dairying and Dairy pro-
ducts, Tick Eradication, Diseases,
Markets and Packing House Posi-

recommended to disk or drag harrow

In conclusion the new bulletin Of

out that various SO called remedies for

which have been recommended as in
