Campaign for Greater State Fair

County Chairman for Abbeville In
Campaign for Greater State Fair
Mr.. W. NJ. Barnwell has just been
appointed County Chairman, for
Abbeville County, in the statewide
campaign for a Greater State Fair.
The purpose of this campaign is to
raise $100, 100000 for permanent
buildings and improvements for the
State Fair, which is held at Column
bia each year.
This money is to be raised by the
sale of life membership in the
State Fair Association at $500 a
member, which gives the holder
free admission to all State Fairs
and a voice and vote in the manage
ment of its affairs. This makes each
member an active stakeholder in
one Of the States greatest institu.
tons.
1t is the present plan of the Fair
Association to make the South Caro-,
lima State Fair second to no other
state fair and has already revised
the. premium list so as to make the
exhibits this year depict the great
ness of out state agriculturally and
commercially.
The quota for Abbeville County
is scventy-fve members and fol-
each ten member life memberships
secured by the County Chairman
and his workers one farm boy can
be- awarded a free trip to the Farm
Boys Camp which will be held on
the fair grounds during the fair. In
addition to these trips any farm
boy between the age of IL and IS
who sells four or more life member
ships before September 30th will
also be given a free trip to the
camp.

ABOUT PRIMARY ELECTIONS

1t may seem Idle 10 taln VI eio-
continuing primary elections, but
there are some facts in regard to the
matter which should not be over
looked. In the recent primary there
was as much cause, we imagine, to
bring out a full vote as there will be
in ordinary election years. Notwith-
standing fifty thousand people who
enrolled for participation in the
primary elections did not cast their
ballots in the first primary.
In the second primary when the
race for governor had narrowed to
two men and each man, backed in
some at least by a faction,
was doing all that he could to get
out the vote, ably assisted by mana
gers, helpers, and friends, more
than forty thousand of the enrolled
voters failed to go to the polls.
In Abbeville County nearly one
thousand men and women who en-
rolled to vote failed to 60 out and
vote in the first primary and nearly
that number in the second.
Added to this is the fact that a
great many people for one and
another did not enroll.
In the State of Georgia, in the re-
c.ms primary, according to figures
which we have seen, fewer than two
hundred thousand people voted.
If the people shall grow Disguised
with the primary as a means of Sc
lecting state officers, or officers Of
any kind, and shall continue to re-
fuse to vote in the primaries, it will
not be long until the primary vote
will represent a minority of the peo-
pie of voting age in the state. In
that case, the primary will not be
efficacious to keep people from car
rying the appeal to the general cleo
tion. If there is danger of the ne
sToes taking part in elections, a sup
posed danger which we think is
greatly overestimated. we do not
think we are going to get rid Of the
danger by the primary route, not al
ways.
Not all the men selected for office
in the primaries are men of indiffer-
ent ability and attainments, but most
of them are. The kind Of men nomi-
mated for office encourages some
people to believe that it were bet
ter to have nothing to do with these
elections. Better men, selected in
some other way, would command
votes from people who do not now
enroll for the primary elections, or
who if they enroll, do not vote.
1t is as easy to have political
bosses with the primary elections as
it is without them, and the class OF
bosses is not improved.

WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK
Feat Of Enoraver That 10 Not Likely
to Be Duplicated for Many
Years.

The bureau OF standards was re-
Gently asked to measure what Is
probably the smallest piece Of engrav-
Ing on glass In the world. The en-
craving consists Of the Lords Prayer
(57-word version) engraved on glass
In space Of .O01 by .O02 of an inch.
The writing can only be seen under
a high-power microscope, the mangiH-
cation required being from 800 to 1000
times. The measurements by which
the above dimensions were determined
were carried out In the laboratories Of
the bureau.
The extremely small size Of this en-
craving will be realized when II liz
considered that IL square inch were
entirely filed with writing of this size
the entire Bible could be written 70
times in that space--in other words,
something more than 20OOO,0O0 words
could be written In q square inch.

ciety, he had more and more turned his
thoughts inward and inclosed himself

charity was his servant; the only needs

and youthful feeling stirred in his
crusty heart. He was touched by the
thought of boyish anticipations and
afraid for the disappolntments that he
foresaw. He remembered that once
his own heart had been warm and
hopeful, that he had made effort for
good and sent out dreams into the
future. There came back to him a
sense of the bitter and blighting frost
that had chilled and deadened him. and
there sighed in his soul a faint hope
that happiness might visit him again
