COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
Holds interesting Meeting To Buy
MOre Property

a meeting of the executive COM
mittee and others interested in the
Williamsburg County Fair Associa-
tion was held in the court house last
Monday with a good number of peo-
pie present. Practically every section
OF the county was represented. Con-
siderable interest was manifested
| in the coming Fair. The meeting was
called to order by president +. C.
! Epps, after the usual order of open
ing, the meeting at once entered in
to discussion as to the necessity of
the association buying the lots in
the enclosure and others on the out
side necessary for the Fair Grounds.
On the motion of Mr.. I. w. Boyle,
4 committee consisting of Mr.. I. NJ.
Cooper, w. L. Nesmith, and the Of
ficers OF the association We're ap-
pointed and authorized to buy the
above referred to property, and
make such terms and payments a.
seem best for the association.
On the motion of w. f. Nesmith,
the above committee was further
empowered to pledge the credit of
the association for repairs and other
necessary expenses incident to the
coming fair.
Quite a lengthy discussion ensued
as to the contract between the
County Fair Association and the
County Superintendent of Education
concerning the salaries of the agri-
cultural agent at Hemingway, Kings
tree and Greelyville. Upon the re-
quest of some present the secretary
read a copy of contract in his files,
which later turned out. not to be the
contract actually entered into. Copy
of the actual contract was not in
possession Of the secretary, and he
mistook copy of a proposed contract
for the real contract. The actual
contract was entered into for one
year only. In as much as the asso-
citation did not hold fair in 1918
at which time the agricultural agents
were expected to use their efforts IN
getting up exhibits and developing
community interest, it was agreed
in a meeting last fall that they
woild do this work for the 1919
fair which is to be held November
4, 5, 6 and Z. In the meeting Monday
Prof. Pearce of Greelyville, speaking
for the agricultural agents stated
that they would be glad to DO all
they could for the success of the
coming fair. On motion of Mr.. w.
E. Nesmith the agricultural agents
were instructed to use their efforts
in developing interest in community
exhibits also farm and special eXhl-
bits, and that they inform secretary
of fair at least 60 days before far
as to the amount of space wanted etc.
for each booth.
The names of the different COM
mittees and department workers
were read by the secretary.
Toward the close of the meeting
Mr.. T. NJ. Cooper resigned as vice
president of the association and ID.
f. McCutchen was elected to fill his
place.
On the whole the meeting was one
of the most interesting ever held,
and everything bids fair for the
best fair we have ever had.

President Wilson's cabled message
outlining legislation for the extra
session of the new Congress was
read separately in the Senate and
House Tuesday and arrangements
were made by congressional leaders
for immediate consideration Of the
vast legislative program with the
equal suffrage resolution to come up
at once in the House.
Major recommendations Of the
President were for early return to
private ownership of railroads, tele-
graphs and telephones, for repeal of
war time prohibition in so far as
applying to beer and wines, for
woman suffrage, retaliatory tariffs
protection of the dyestuff industry
and labor and employment meas
ures, for retiring soldiers, lessening
taxation, etc.
The President announced his in
tention to turn back the railroads
at the end of the calendar year.
Republican leaders met the Presi..
dents pronosals for early return OF
public utilities by statements that
such legislation already was plan
ned. AS to the prohibition recon-.
mendation, both Republican and
Democratic "dry" leaders joined in
vigorous statements dissenting from
the Presidents suggestions, and pre-,
dieting that no beer and wine repeal
would be passed.

Revised figures made public this
week by the War Department show
ed that the total casualties of the
American expeditionary forces dur
ing the war was 286 044. Battle
deaths numbered 48 909 and the to-
tal of wounded was placed at 237.-

solvation. apparently is suffering
from dementia praecox is the opin-
ion Of DR.. J. F. Munnerlyn. medical
director OF the hospital, in written
repor. 10 Governor Cooper on
Naughan's nlcntal condition. While
there has been some improvement
since Vaughan was placed in the
asylum, said the report, yet he now
is subject to hallucinations which
are manifested in his continual an
nouncement that he hears spirit
voices talking to him. He also shows
defective judgment and has abso-
lutely no insight into his condition,
continued the report. Governor
Cooper has stated that he in
tends 70 send all the papers in the
case to j. Henry Martin, of Green
vile, solicitor of the Thirteenth Ju-
dicial circuit, so that the court may
take action in the case if it desires.
That Governor Cooper cannot
transfer T. U. Vaughn, former sup
erintendent of the Odd Fellows Or
phan Home, at Greenville, from the
State Hospital of the Insane to the
State penitentiary should Vaughn
be declared sane developed upon ex-
animation Of the court records on
which he was committed to the asyl-
UNI.
Last Wednesday the grand lodge
of Odd Fellows, meeting at Colum-
bia adopted resolutions calling upon
the Governor to have the mental
condition of Vaughn investigated,
and, if he proved to be sane, see that
the mandate of the court is carried
out. This petition was filed with
Governor Cooper Friday afternoon.
Vaughn was convicted in the
Greenville county court in 1912 OF
having been guilty of statutory
criminal assault on the person of
one of the young girl inmates,
while he was superintendent of the
orphanage. He pleaded guilty. He
was sentenced to be electrocuted
and remanded to the State peniten-
tiary 70 await the execution of his
sentence. Following the refusal OF
the State Supreme Court and that
of the United States to interfere IN
the verdict, he was ordered to be
brought to Greenville to be resent
enced by Judge George E. Prince,
under date of August 80 1915. When
he was produced for re-sentence,
Vaughn's attorneys made a motion
that the alleged insanity of Vaughn
be inquired into by the court. Upon
motion of Solicitor Proctor A. Bon
ham. with the consent of the de-
fendant's attorneys, he was trans
ferred from the penitentiary to the
asylum for observation.

MAGIC IN NUMBERS

Senatr Johnson pins a ribbon on himself and claims to be the only undiluted American outside captivity This because he has been demanding that America be allotted six votes in the big league. He thinks that King George can walk up to the bal lot box and heave in six ballots with a crash that can be heard around the world and he wants it understood thAt Uncle Sam is as bulky and inn portant as any prince or petentate that ever carried a scepter. This goes double with us, but we also wish it to be understood that Hiram has no patent on patriotism. If it is to be measured by a voting capac- ity under the covenant we shall in sist on at least seven or maybe seven times seven-votes. That would be one for every State in the Union and one over for good meas ure. But we've gt to have seven anyhow. Of course, they don't realt ly count, but it is cne principle ol the thing. Here we've gone to the trouble of winning the war and lent England all the money necessary tt keep her end up and it would be od( if we shouldn't demand one more vote Any sawnbroker would teI you that we should have that mucf collateral Hiram is only a pikel with his six votes. We think we shall demand a dozen at least.- Los Angeles Times.

THE SILENT VOTE Vs. THE BIC
 NOISE

Too much of governmental policy is guided by the Big Noise.
 Is it any wonder labor, police, pro fessors or farmers organize to make the Big Noise.
 The Walla Walla Union says: s1t often happens that small but com pact and well organized group can control. legislation and Congress, in opposition to the will of the silent and unorganized mass of the people
 ''The politician feels the pressure of the small but active organization, and knows that if he votes against it, he may lose the solid block of their votes.
 He thinks that the rest of the peo pie will forget about it before the next election. But frequently they don't.
 The great mass of silent citizens should make their opinions felt more clearly at elections by choosing me1 of sound convictions rather than the / candidates with the most theorie. who make the loudest noise.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1919-10-24

Whatever a man s rank in the army, when he is discharged he is only a plain American citizen. Army titles should be dropped with the uniform-they have no place in our democratic life. Rank in the Army did not confer nobility nor imply ability, necessarily The foolish distinctions and determinations in the army because of rank embittered many good American citizens who were in uniform and who were i'm bued with democratic ideals.

Uoar Sir,
1t was with the greatest pleasure
we read in Yesterdays issue Of The
Avis" abou, a Bill to be brought before
the Colonial Council on Monday, intro
duced by LIST Member for Chri8tansted
Town (Abramson), concerning a subsidy
in aid of our old and tried friend-Uhe
Native Brass Band of Christiansted. This
Band is indeed worthy of all the help
possible, and we heartily endorse the
editorial notes of our local newspapers
on the subject.
II was just last May when the Band
completed the tenth anniversary Of its
existence in the musical world, until TO-
Gay it can boast OF a fraternal spirit in
the trueSC n Of the word. The Band
has always been willing to serve the pub
lie at all times, even without the hope of
compensation, and at lines too when we
had no o-her Band to entertain US. In
snort Chis Band has seen service in many
ways. in all kinds Of gatherings sacred
and secular. Our best wishes go with
them.
To the Council Members we say Hon
orable gentlemen, the time is at hand,
the hour is striking when you are called
upon to do your duty and show your APP
probation, in stretching forth a helping
hand to this worthy institution. Vote then
a sum Of money that will enable them
and all Others to say, at last perseverance
has been rewarded. We feel confident
that our legislative Body is going to put
through this Bill! speedily, but at the
same time, we send this forth as a gen
tie reminder in the name Of IL friends
Of the Christiansted Native Brass Band.

Our attention is sometimes called to
errors in the cab.egramS published in
this paper. In some instances the fault
may be typographical and therefore
ours, but as often they are to be founG
in the texts of the original copies re-
ceived from the Gable Company, and
when that is the case, hey are beyond
our control to corr 4ct. In the kilograms
publishes yesterday, there are many
words which have been called to our
notice as incorrect. but for the reason
that we have received them so, we 90
not see ii in our place to effect changes
even where the necessity for doing so
is obvious. For instance in the teIe-
gram from Copenhagen dated August
4th. Prince Henry of Russia is men
toned when it is fairly sure that Prus-
STA is meant, and where it says the
truth about the wal may be got from
the Allied statement, it undoubtedly
should be statesmen and so on else
where. Those rot entirely familiar
with names and PAGES can learn muc,l
from the cables which embrace news
from all parts of the world and it seems
important that the. names of persons
