COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS.
Everybody Delighted With Splendid
Collection ui Exhibits.

In point of exhibits attractively dis
played Dillon County's first fair was
d success. The attendance did not
come up 10 expectations, out the men
behind the movement are very much
gratitied 10 know tnat everybody VINO
attended the fair spoke IN the most
complimentary terms OF the many IN
teresting and attractive exhibits, and
pronounced it one OF the best county,
fairs in the state. The attendance was
cut down by the good weather pre-
valling which enabled many people TO
gather cotton, but even in The face OF
these conditions the total receipts
amounted 10 something like S5,oOO.
This amount will just about pay eX-
penses, but as the fair was not estab-
lished as money-making institution
the men behind the movement are
not disappointed.
The live stock exhibit was splen-
dld. AS visitors passed through this
department they were heard 10 re-
mark, We'll, had no idea there were
so many fine hogs in Dillon county.
The cattle exhibit showed up equally
as well.
There were many attractive eXhlb-
its at the lair, but without Giscredit-
ing the Others, il may De said that
the Dillon High School agricultural
exhibit was one OF the most interest
ing seen at the fair. 1t was artistical-
ly arranged and showed how a small
larm crop should be diversified under
boil weevil conditions.
A list of the prize winners is being
prepared by the committees on eX-
nibits ana will be published III the
next issue of The Herald.

prominent of the Irish hunger strikers
and sald 70 have been the brains OF
the republican army in Ireland, uieG
early eoday in BriXton prison.
The end was not unexpected Tor the
lord mayor had been unconscious lol
several days. He was entering upoh
the seventy-fourth day OF his hunger
strike as protest against sentence
OF two years Imprisonment on sev-
eral charges, including one OF having
seditious documents in his possession.
Only his brother, John MacSwiney.
and his private chaplain, Father DOM
inc, were with him when he died.
Mrs. MacSwiney and the prisoners S
two sisters, Annie and Mary, were at
a nearby hotel.
The lord mayor, who was terribly
emaciated as result of his long
abstinence from food, had been de-
lirious for many hours, and was un-
conscious when death came.
Family Reaches Prison.
1t was several hours after the lord
mayor died before his brother was
permitted to tell Mrs. MacSwiney the
sad news. She Immediately went to
the prison, accompanied by her par
ents and the Misses MacSwiney, and
the family, stoical and dry-eyed pray
ed over the body as it lay on the
cot.
There were no untoward demon
stratIons outside the prison after the
news OF MacSwiney's death became

!nce had been concentrated TO put
down any disorder that might occur
