days Bamberg county has ever
known, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday. The programme
has been completed and appears in
this issue of The Herald. Read it.
President Thomas and the various
committees have done practically
nothing for the past week or two
but work on the county fair. Every
phase of the fair programme has
been gone over carefully. Every
body connected with the fair has
given of time and talent freely
and cheerfully, without pay, or hope
of any sort of remuneration. 1t is
all for Bamberg county.
President Thomas announces that
the fair has contracted with one OF
the best carnival companies on the
road to show here during the next
week. We are assured that the shows
are Of high class, and that there
will be plenty of riding devices for
the kiddies and such of the grown
ups who like to ride also.
The big exhibit building has been
divided into numbers of booths, and
the interest in the fair may be guaged
by the fact that they have been
readily taken by exhibitors all over
the county. The livestock and poul-
try committees are reserving space
for an unusually large number OF
exhibitors from many sections, and
they state that this feature of the
fair will be a revelation to our peo-
pie.
The farm exhibits, fancy work and
art department, the home booths,
the club booths etc., will be scene
of beauty and joy forever. The
visitors to the fair will be astounded
at the things that will be on exhibit
here.
Chairman Smoak, of he race COM
mittee, states that there will be
a fine entry of horses from this and
nearby counties. The race track IS
a place of activity every day now,
the possessors of good horses warm
ing" them up on the track daily. Mr..
Smoak predicts that there are going
to be some fine races this year. He
is receiving entries now. The saddle
horse show, in connection with the
races, promises to be splendid fea-
ture of fair week. 1t is we'll known
fact that there are some fine horses
in this section, and this will afford
the owners of such animals che op-
portunity to let people know about
them.
Bill Brabham i: the moving spirit
in the guinea trot, which is new
feature he will introduce during the
fair. Ycu are cx;Ised for knowing
nothing about such an affair. Neither
do we, but Bill says it is great
event, and you know Bill. He says
there is more fun in it than the
proverbial barrel IF monkeys. This
will be pulled off on Wednesday right
after the school parade and will take
place on Main street.
The big event of the opening day
will be the free barbecue. 1t will
be recalled that last year no less
than around 1000 persons were fed
on the finest barbecue ever tasted in
these parts. The affair went through
without hitch, and there will be
repetition of the same thing again
this year. The barbecue will be
served at one o'clock on Tuesday.
Eat all you can: It's free.
Wednesday, school day, will be
featured by basket ball game and
a foot ball game. Bamberg high and
st. Matthews will combat for basket
ball honors, while Carlisle and the
College Of Charleston will do battle
on the gridiron at Rhoad park. At
night there will be free dance on
Main street.
The colored people have worked
out an excellent programme for Fri
day, which appears elsewhere in this
paper. The day will be started off
with the school parade, and this will
be real event. 1t will be recalled
what tremendous crowd appeared
in the parade last year-and it was
a bad day under foot. There will be
speeches and in the afternoon a foot
ball game and horse races.
Chairman Klauber, of the COM
mittee on music. announces the en-
gagement of good colored band,
which will furnish music throughout
