Plan Many New Features
For Ban1berg County Fair

Plans are gong lOFWdlO ldpAuAy
for the second annual Bamberg coun-
ty fair. Various committees have
been appointed and are now at work
planning the details of the exhibition.
The fact that the Bamberg county
fair is the only county fair in the
world, so far as this writer knows,
which is free, makes it one Of much
attraction, and the fact that it is free
has attracted attention far and wide.
1t is likely that a new keynote has
been struck in the method of holding
county fairs by introducing this fea-
ture.
Tuesday morning meeting of the
chairmen of the various committees
was held, at which the plans of the
committees were discussed informal
ly.
Farmers are asked now to begin to
prepare their exhibits, and be sure to
bring them in time to have the exhi-
bit properly displayed. This should be
the greatest county fair in the state If
the people will coopera ate to that end.
Elsewhere in this paper will be found
q list of the committee chairmen to
whom application may be made for
any information relative to booth
space, exhibits, etc.
Business houses are urged to CO.
operate and prepare booths. A nomi-
nal charge will be made for booth
space allotted for advertising pur-
poses. No charge will be made to
farmers, club workers, etc.
Chairman Smoak reports that the
races will be held on Wednesday and
Thursday, the hours to be announced
later. A small admission charge will
be made to the race track to defray
the expenses involved only, and for
awarding a nominal purse to winners.
1t is probably that a horse show will
be held in connection with the races.
Chairman Rentz, of the market
ing committee, states that arrange
ments will be made to have market
ing expert here. Samples OF farm
products may be brought to the fair,
and efforts will be made to put the
farmers in touch with buyers at pro-
fftable prices. Information will be
given. as to grading, packing, cur
ing, ETC., as we'll.
James T. Burch is in charge of the
amusement features, and he promises
to have some fine attractions for the
kiddies, especially, and the grown
folks as we'll. A good midway is pro-
missed
A feature of the fair will be a
guinea trot, something new in this
neck of the woods, but one that has
proved to be very popular, entertain
ing and amusing. This will be pulled
of on Main street at some convenient
time.
All of the schools of the county
are asked to participate in the school
day events Wednesday. Schools are
asked to turn out in full that day
and make it the biggest school day
event the county has ever known.
The free barbecue is progressing
fine. Several hundred pounds of meat
have already been donated for the
purpose. If you have spare shoat
about the premises, notify w. NJ.
Brabham, who will see that it is used
to good advantage.
Exhibits of live stock, poultry,
home and farm products are especial
" desired. Practically every farmer
in the county has something good to
offer. Notify the chairman of the
committee and see that your pro-
ducts are shown to the people. This
fair is to advertise the county and
the cooperation and participation of
every farmer and householder is;
earnestly requested.
Mrs. Sallie Owens is in charge OF
the home booths. Mrs. Owens desires
to include in her booths antiques,
home articles, of all sorts. 1t has
been found that this is one of the
most interesting features of fair.
This county is rich in such articles,
and the fair is a fine place to dis /
play them.
w. A. Klauber is in charge of the
music for the occasion, and he states
that a good band will be secured for
the entire week. There will be plenty
of music.
Booth space may be had by apply
ing to DR.. F. B. McCracken. There
will be plenty of space this year. A
live stock building will be erected on
the site of the Denbow warehouse,
