pee dee FAIR AT
| FLORENCE OCT. Is
EVENT PROMISES TO BE LARG.
EST AND BEST EVER HELD
IN THAT SECTION.

Florence, S. c., October 6.-The Pee
Dee fair at Florence this year, open
ing Tuesday, October 1S for four days
show, promises to be the best exposi-
ton this section has yet undertaken,
states Mr.. E. D. Sallenger, Secretary.
In conjunction with the fair this sea-
son, the retail merchants Of Florence
will put on a shopping week. The
combined fair and shopping event will
be Florence's biggest effort, states the
secretary of the Chamber Of Com
merce, to make herself the trade and
industrial center Of the Pee Dee sec
ton. 81
Williamsburg county is included in
the territory covered by the Pee Dee
fair. Much interest has been reported
from this county for the approaching
event.
All the railroads of the section have
announced excursion rates to and from
Florence for the fair-shopping week.
These rates may be obtained upon
application to the local ticket agent.
Also practically every public road for
fifty miles has been mapped and post
ed for the convenience Of those per-
sons who will desire to motor to
Florence. Special arrangements have
been made also for the accommoda-
ton of the large numbers of motor
lists who are expected here for the
occasion.
The outlook for the fair this year
is the most promising of any yet in
its history, according to its secretary.
More requests have been received for
exhibit space, more inquiries have
come in for concessions, and more
general interest shown in the plans,
than ever before. Three big days Of
horse racing are included in the
amusement card for this year. A,
fourth day of racing is likely. If it
materializes it will be motorcycle rae
ing. Three big bands have been en-
gagged to play both on the midway
and uptown for the entertainment of
the crowds at the fair. The card Of
free acts is one of the of the best
ever brought South. Thursday, Octo-
Der 20, Lake City will play Timmons-
vile and the following day Florence
will play McColl. These two games
will bring into action four of the
strongest high school foot ball teams
of the state. Friday will be the chill
drens day when ell the schools will
close.
Great as will be the entertainment
features, the educational departments
of the fair will excel anything yet
exhibited here. These will include
mammoth agricultural exhibits, cat
tie, horses, poultry and everything
else seen in the big fairs.
Merchants of Florence, in order to
make this fair the best and biggest
possible, have determined to make
fair week shopping week. They are
advertising tnat one may attend the
fair and pay his expenses OIL the cheap
prices for that week. AL lines are
cooperating in this shopping week
including ladies' and mems merchants,
dry goods, furnishings, hardware, jew
elry, gift shops and others, as will be
seen from the advertisement on an
other page of The Record today.

SEVERELY INJURED WHEN
GAS EXPLODES IN TANK

Arnold j. Willard of Carson City Is
suffering from the effects of shock
sustained from explosion of gas in a
tank he was preparing to solder. 1t
was known that all the gasoline had
been drained from the tank of abou.
thirty gallons capacity. but the posi-
bility of gas remaining in the recep-
table was not considered when the
flame of a blow torch was applied to
part of the tank. The force OF the
explosion tore the end out of the tank
and blew the back windows out OF the
shop. Willard was standing beside the
tank. His trousers and underwear
were stripped off his legs. and the
faucets cut a cash in one leg when
the tank was on the rebound. Luckily
Willard was not at the end that was
blown out. It is said that his legs ap-
pear as though they had been ham
mered.5Carson News.

MEN TO BE USED ON GANG

The Reno Gazette says: Idlers
singly, in pairs, in squads and pla-
toons are being rounded up by the
police in response to call from DR..
Samuels. city health physician, for a
"chain gang" to clean up the alleys
of the city. AS health measure, this
move is calculated to work two ways.
As the men are brought in they are
disinfected. Their arrest reduces the
number Of hangers on in the gam
bling and pool halls. Their work in
cleaning up the city will have salu-
tary effect on sanitation In general.
Chief of Police Kirkley expects to
have thirty or forty men available for
chain gang duty.

The Public as Censor.
service
BARRE Times

The Vermont legislature having declined
to pass a censorship bill respecting moving
picture shows, probably because of the
belief that the shows do not need censor
ing it remains for the public to act as
censor for itself. so to speak and the way
to perform that function win be to show
diSapproval of any moving picture film
that is Objectionable providing there are
suchl by refusing to attend that perform
ance or performances at which films made
BY the manufacturer of the Objectionable
pictures are shown. In eases where there
is more than one moving picture theatre in
a community it Will be easily possible TO
carry out this censorship by refusing TO
attend the theatre which puts on objec-
tionable pictures in communities where
there is but n single theatre the censorship
would be more difficult, but the public
can refuse to support the management.
We are not saying that the public viii
exercise that form of censorship. but we
are pointing out that the public has n
remedy at hand providing it desires TO
put the remedy into operation.

Continued from Page IL

dam. A large quantity of ice went out
in the night, but there is more to the
north. Many of the cakes are IA inches
thick.
The flood conditions at Springfield
were reported TO have caused a rise of
six feet in the Connecticut river. Eight
feet of water was going over the dam at
Holyoke and IL feet of water was iiow-
ing over the dam at Turner's Falls.
Much ice was reported between Vernon
and Greenfield.
Water in the West river also rose
materially and crossed the highway near
the Wilson l. Brown place at the pump
ing station, although the road has not
been impossible there as has been the
case some years. The large double boom
of the Champlain Realty Co. short
distance south of the pumping station
broke during the night, and it is thought
some of the piers have been broken OF.
Damage to the extent of about 81 900
was caused to the roads and streets
about the town and village by the heavy
rainfall, the most serious damage being
done to the hill leading to the Fort
Drummer cotton mill. Because of deep
ruts IN some of the streets, caused by
automobiles, the water made gullies and
carried away some of the top dressing
instead of running down the cutters as
it would have done had the frost been
cut of the ground and the roads set
tied. Severely deep ruts were prevented
because of the frozen condition of the
roadbed Road Commissioner G. J..
DUDE said today the damage was not as
serious as was to be expected, from the
severity of the rain. Rain fell so rap
idly that the catch basins in many sec
tfons were unable to take care of the
water, becoming clogSed quickly with
the litter from the streets and cutters.
Sidewalks on Main street near the fed
cgaI building were submerged and water
flowed freely down the walks on High,
Green, Elliot and other streets.

track of the West River branch railroad
short distance south of the three

by the excessive rainfall and was not
discovered until the train, which left
the station shortly after 6 o'clock,
reached that point, but the train was
stopped before it struck the sand. Sew
eral men were engaged in shOveling the
sand from the track until after 10
