Time FOR COUNTY
FAIRS TO GET BUSY
ANDREWS ALREADY WORKING
ON PLANS FOR BIG SHOW
IN OCTOBER

ing in time. The matter is often left
open until the summer is we'll ad
vanced. Plans are then hurrieldl!
drawn up, catalog thrown together
and the matter left to lag along an'
til a few weeks before the show wher
all is rush and hustle at the Inst min
ute with the result that nine out OF
every ten fairs in the state are never
ready for opening day.
This condition of affairs is being
overcome by the officials and boosters
of the Tri-County Fair at Andrews
says correspondent in the Charles
ton News and Courier.
The dates were fixed some months
ago and prizes annuonced in solle Of
the departments. This applies es,
pecially to the agricultural depart
ment. 1t is well that it should. One
can not prepare farm display on a
weeks notice. 1t requires the entire
growing season to work up a credit
able exhibit. The Tri-County Fair is,
sued a circular several weeks age
announcing the liberal prizes which
will be offered at Andrews this year
With ample notice it IS expected there
will be a good number of complete
farm EXHIBITS in place when the cur
tain rises this faIl. The dates Of the
Tri-County Fair are October II to IA
inclusive.
James D. Lee, secretary and gen.
eral manager, is a firm believer in
preparedness. He has worked hard fol-
the success of the Andrews show and
is fortunate in having the backing OF
the best farmers and business men
of the Andrews section. The sXecu-
tive committee, which is composed OF
S. P. Harper, w. H. Andrews, H. s.
