MANNING EDITOR VISITS FAIR HERE IMMENSELY PLEASED WITH AL HE SAW, BUT THINKS CLAREI> DON CAN GO US ONE BETTEI Finding myself a director of th Clarendon County Fair associatior member of the publicity committee chairman of the premium committee and what-not, it occurred to me ths - - Clarendon could have as creuimmc fair as any county in the State an that nothing was needed to insur success but the knowledge of whs others are doing and have done. Cor nie Mack, the great baseball manap er, has a plan for breaking in youn pitchers. He sends in the youngste and keepshim inthebox, eventhoug the opposing team hammers his ol ferings all over the lot. Then h keeps him out of the game unt sume star pitcher has a bad day an is hammered around. This hearter the youngster and fills him with th conviction that since all pitcher have bad days, he may strike hi j intr, a star. Th striae ana uevnui; plan has succeeded. That is abou the feeling- we must arouse withi ourselves?that we can do as well a Williamsburg, because Clarendon i as good a county as Williamsburgin fact, a shade better. I went to Kingstree Tuesday an went a long way to the fair grounc While approaching the enclosure th lovely lilt of Metz's band came to m in a cloud of dust. And that suggest several things. Why not water th streets leading to our fair? Nothin gets on one's nerves more poignani ly than to have clouds of dust settl on him when he goes merry-makinj in his best bib and tucker. Then le us water the streets several time that day. Colonel, we are lookin your wav, knowing that the Mayc and council of our good town will t forward-looking men and women an according to Hoyle. Of course w shall have a band, a good band, t get the crowding throngs inspire( The band will play Tipperary, to< probably a couple of dozen time: When Metz's band was here la? many of us had read of Tipperar but did not know the piece. S Bandmaster Metz played it thre times consecutively for some wh had just heard it, but asked in ign< ranee of what they had heaid. Bi that's all right.- We shall have Tij perary if the horns blow out. But that is distinctly a good fai our neighbors are having. It is thei first effort and they have no reaso to feel other than gratified. The have done well.

But, then,we'll all be 01 to the fair, won't we? Come on, yo good folk of Sardinia,New Zion.Tui beville.Seloc.DuRant,Trinity, Alcoh Wilson,Bloomville, Foreston, Jordar Davis Station, Surnmerton, St Pau Silver, Paxville, Pinewooj, Tinda Panola and other points we ma have overlooked. We 11 all be ther ?the queenly matrons, the bewitch ing debutantes, the courtly sons c ancient chivalry and the young pi lars upon whom society rests. Back to our muttons: Shortly a: ter entering the grounds, just afte being held up by the gateman fc four bits?the nerve of charging newspaper man all that money?i was my rare pleasure to get in wit that stalwart Democrat of old Clai endon, Mr Sam M Haynesworth. T my auestion," What are you exhibii ing?" he replied, "IWyself." It ws ' -i -a. .u, not such a baa exmoit, eiuiei.su mi scribe added to the exhibition. Claj endon has much better looking me than Williamsburg,as any Clarendo man will admit. As for our ladie: nothing need be said. They spea for themselves. We sat in the stands and enjoye the free feats: the dare-devil leaj the-gap on a bicycle, the many fir acts of Devilbis.who is a master, tt riding and driving horses, fine spec mens the.v were.

But there was nothinR on the out- pi >s side that Clarendon cannot equal. n( ? As Mr Haynesworth and the scrib,r bier started from the Rround a younR n ie lady made the pleasinR announce- ^ ^ ment that gum could be had by trye ing a machine; but we passed on,Mr 0 Haynesworth being afraid to take a r( chance with a lady. The big warehouse was attractive5 ly decorated. At the entrance were ^ ferns and other pot and box speci- ^ P charge of the colored booth. The hi Union high school has a capital ex- P* ;r hibit of all the phases of the school's m ?r activity,literary,dairying, gardening, 1" a etc. Perhaps the best exhibit is that ft jt of the Williamsburg canning clubs, ai Clarendon can do fully as well. An- as other fine booth was the housekeepr* ers' exhibit?bread, butter, cake, o pies,preserves, pickles and the whole re gamut of good things. tl Of course the side shows were present. Barkers and fakers were 13 lively, although bus n s? was dull. r* The aviator made a flight and made n several encircling flights, but blew n out a cylinder and came down safe, !' although with some damage to the ' machine.

The religion of childhood is the digion of life, when we stray from y mens,while through the center were aj ,0 booths, and booths were on both 0] 10 sides.

Mr Haynesworth and I e knew but little about fancy work, T n so we are not discussing that. There is was Dlenty of it. but we passed it by ]Ti 3_ for the oats, com and peas.
