STATE FAIR OPENS
TWO WEEKS HENCE
Exhibits To Be Larger This Year
Secretary Efrid Reports That
Much Interest Is Being
Shown In Exhibition

Columbia.-The state fair begins
two weeks hence and indications
are that the exhibits this year are to
be larger and more varied than any
previous year.
Extensive preparations are being
made to accommodate the crowds
which come to the state capital each
fall for the agricultural jubilee.
Chief among these improvements
is the large new entrance gates,
which are so arranged as to prevent
congestion of traffic and provide
adequate equipment for ticket dis
tribution.
Another marked improvement is
the new race track which has just
been built for the horse racing
which will be a more impressive
feature this year than heretofore.
This is one-half mile in length and is
within the one mile track which is
reserved for the automobile races.
Extensions are being built for the
crowds who will attend the races.
New Hog Barn
Last year two large hog barns
were erected and at the time it was
felt that no additional accommoda-
tions for swine breeders would have
to be provided within the near fu-
ture. With the opening last fall,
there was a great overflow, many
exhibits coming from neighboring
states, and scores of pens had to be
put built on the outside of the hog
barns. To prevent duplication of
this overflow, a third new barn has
been constructed to accommodate
several hundred hogs. All pens have
floors, this third barn being a dup
lication of the other two new ones.
Wash racks have also been provided
which were badly needed.
improvements have also been
made in the cattle barns. These
have been so arranged that four
rows of cattle. may be tethered
through each barn. A pavilion has
also been built between the cattle
barns where spectators may view

More Inquiries
D. F. Efrid, secretary of the
State Fair association, says in
quiries and applications are 100 per
cent better this year than ever be-
fore, particularly for cattle, hogs
and poultry.
The poultry show, which has been
steadily developed from year to
year, should be a banner event this
season as the Official state show of
the American Poultry association
will be held in Columbia this year
during fair week. This will bring
exhibits Of prize taking birds from
Tennessee to Florida and Missis-
sippi. The South Carolina Poultry
Breeders association now has a
membership of more than 800.

popular, asewitness those OF Mendels-
sohn and Grieg; yet never perhaps has

spirit of Springs delicate beauty as has
Gounod in this howerlike song. Nor

throated harmonies one seems to see
the world reborn; to see a silver lance
of light pierce through and through the
night as harbinger of dawn.
In line with this, yet different in its
fundamentals is Antonin DvoIak's
Largo from the "New World" Sym
phony. Inspired by the composer s love
for American Negro and Indian themes,
this movement, which is the second, is
a test that may we'll daunt the most
careful of orchestrations. The Phila-

triumphant above the difficulties of the
composition and added another laurel

quise") he surmounts the obstacles Of
volleying, staccato passages that would
tax powers less swift and accurate. The
song is in a dazzling bolero-rhythm,
announced in the full orchestra to the
rapid clatter Of castanets. It alternates
between swift, fiery passages and long,
dangerous phrases and always the voice
of the singer rings out sweet and clear,
surmounting marvellous changes of key,
including those temporary shifts so
characteristic of Spanish music. The
song is noteworthy even in the extra
ordinary series Mr.. De Gogorza has re-
corded in half a dozen tongues.

"Truly marvellous" is the unanimous

power of all but very few singers.

Dance Hits
From the 1920 "Follies"

Unusually attractive are the dance
offerings presented in this months list
of Victor Records. Two splendid fox
trots from the Ziegfeld Follies can't fail
to make hit and "Cuban Moon" some

abandon of the tropics. Both are play

in the snappy style that one has come
to expect from them.
