PREPARING FOR BIG FAIR.
DILLON County's Second Fair Promises
Many Fine Attractions.

Preparations are well under way
for the big County Fair which begins
october 18th and runs until October
!4tn. The catalogs are out and many
inquiries are coming in concerning
exhibits, space, etc
A feature Of the Fair this year will
DC the Midway. The officers of the
fa1r nave closed contract with a
large carnival company and the at
fractions are said to be Of a very h.
order. The carnival company will be
on the grounds by Monday, the day
before the opening, and will remain
through Saturday.
The live stock exhibit this year
promises to be a great feature. There
mas been some rivalry among local
live stock raisers and, this spirit prom
lses to show itself at the Fair in one
OF the largest and best collections of
live stock ever seen at a South Caro-
INA county fair. There are scores of
fine hogs and cows in the county and
they will be on exhibit at the Fair.
In addition to the exhibits and car
nival another feature of entertain
ment which is always popular in Dill
lon is horse racing. Some Of the best
horses in the south are owned in
Dillon and 'over twenty head of hors-
es owned in Dillon have been racing
In the North and West since early
June and have held their own with
the best horses in their classes. All
OF these horses will return to Dillon
Tor the fair, among them being the
celebrated trotter, Silky Nan, 2.14A,
who has been racing in Ohio all of
tho summer; Northeast, 2.14A, who
has been racing in New England
States, Delaware, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey; Bonita Guy, 2.17k; Pet
er Silver. 2.2oA: Tip Top, 2.09A:
Nella Brooks. 2.13H; Little Lady,
2.14k; Cochato Watts. 2.14A; Miss
Liberty. 2.18A; Idol Bergen, .a.13A;
Charley Hazard, 2.16H; Ruth Cum
mings, 2.13H; Peachorina, all OF
which horses have been racing in the
North and West. These horses are
now on the North Carolina circuit and
will start at Dillon at the fair. One
OF the features OF the races will be
q sweepstake for a purse Of $500 be-
tween the following horses: Silky
Nan, Northeast, Cochato Watts, Idol
Bergen and Bonita Guy. The entrance
fee to this race will be $50 each and
the association will give $3.50 making
q purse OF $500, the winner to take
all. A great deal of friendly rivalry ex-
lists among the local owners of these
horses, and as the horses are evenly
matched it promises to be one of the
greatest races ever held in the State
The association has not announced as
yet what day this race will be run. In
addition to the horses named that
have been away to the races several
other horses that have been racing
near home and in the South Caro-
lima circuit during the summer will
be here in addition to several cam
paigners that are racing in the North
Carolina circuit. At last years fair
we had over ninety race horses on the
ground at Dillon and this year we ex-
pect to have fully as many. There
will be three races each day, starting
promptly at 1 o'clock, in order that
they may be finished in time for peo-
pie to get home early.
Dillon extends an invitation to all
the people to visit this fair for the
association is leaving no stone un-
turned to give everybody a good time
and make the fair great success.
