Isn't it about time the women's
clubs of Lancaster were
"handing out" some more of
their cohl victuals to their liun
grv husbands and sweethearts?
Following the advice
of an eminent physician, the
members of the breeches brigade
have given their "bread
baskets" a nice, long vacation,
and are now eager and anxious
to line up again at the social
pie counter.
The address delivered Tuesday
by Dr. Smith, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of
Columbia, at the unveiling of
tlie monument erected to the
memory of Mr. N U. Gonzales,
was a magnificent and deserved
irmuie 10 ine lire ana cnaracrer
of the lamented editor of The
State. Many edi'ors and otlv r
writers have tenderly laid tri
butes upon the grave of Mr.
Gonzales, but none surpassing
in genuineness of sentiment
and beauty of diction the oration
of Dr. Smitb.
THE AUDITORS' MEETING.
The meeting of county auditors
in Columbia Wednesday, held
pursuant to the call of Comptroller
General Jones, was well
attended,nearly every county in
the state being represented. Mr.
John A. Cook, Lancaster's
model auditor, was of course on
hand.
The object of the meeting
was to confer with the eomu
troller general with reference
to his recent circular lettor in
relation to the assessment of
property next year at its true
valuation. Tho sentiment ol
the meeting was strongly in
favor of co-operating with tho
comptroller general in his effort
to enforce the law in regard to
returns.
The action of the meeting is
thus stated by tho Columbia
i vrtui u
The convention finally decided
to enforce the instructions
of the comptroller general and
also adopted a resolution which
called for au enforcement of the
income tax law. Another resolution
was adopted favoring
changing the tax penalty laws
from a graded penalty to a permanent
four per cent, penalty
until March 15, when the oxe
cutions were to be issued.

/MEETING OF THE COTTON ASSO-1 "
CIATION NEXT MONDAY. ]
The larmers and their irieods are
reminded ol the tact that next
Monday is t lie day lor I he meet- t
in?r of the County Cotton Growers'
Association. It will be re- v
called that the 9th instant was ?
the regular time tor the meeting,
I but, owing to the inclemency oi 1
!. ., ... .. V
| (lie weatiier on that uuy, <ue 1
officers of (he association postponed
the gathering umil tlie
1S!?? instant?next Mondu.x.
The meetiiiii is called primarily
no reorganize ihe association and
lo elect delegates to the approach
ing meeting of the state association,
but other matters of importance
will no doubt come up lor 8
consideration. It is earnestly
desired, therefore, that there shall t
tie a large attendance. t
The people cannot aff.?rd to J
allow their interest in the cotton .
I association to wane at thi juncture?there
is too much at stake. '
The organization has achieved (
wonders, it is true; it haw made
tlie South millions of dollars better
off; it has taught the people 1
the value of co-operation; it has
brought all classes closer together ?
?the farmers, bankers, mer- |
chants and professional men ; .
but the victory is not yet won ,
i and there is much, very much i
i more work to be done by the 1
1 association.
Hundreds of counties through- '
out the South are going right
ahead perfecting their organiza- j
tions and making ready to con- '
tinue the fight bo well begun?
now let Lancaster come forward <
and take a place in the front
ranks.

THAT COUNTY FAIR SUGGESTION }
Is the suggestion of the Lan caster
News regarding a county
fair to go by default? We hope 1
not, and our purpose in alluding ,
to the matter at this time is to (
call attention to the fact, that "
now is the time to begin the j
work if we are to have the fair, a
It will take fully a year's time to J
lay the plans and to do the work ?
necessary to having a crediiuole
tai?-, but all this time and thought 1
will be amply repaid in the re- [
suits to be attained by such a t
means. *j
Let some of the leading men
of the county take the matter up.
?Kershaw Era. 3
Yes, esteemed contemporary, '
it looks like that suggestion is .
going to "die or bornin' The
News and the Era have faithfully c
ur<red the imnortancn of the mat- -
ter being taken up by the peo s
pie, and have at length 6et forth j
the many advantages to be derived
trom the holding of county
fairs, but, so far as we know, no f
17 . H
"leading men" have as yet taken t
initiative steps toward the hold- "
ing of a fair in Lancaster county (
next year. ?
Let us not despair, however.
It may be that this is not an opportune
time for the inauguration ]
of such a movement?too near .
the Christmas and New Year
holidays. Besides, just now the
I farmers are too much absorbed
in their fight against the cotton
bears and speculators to devote ^
much time to planning lor ?
county fair a year ofT.
Suppose we wait until alter
tne approaching holidays and until
the Cotton Growers' Associ
lion shall have won its present i
battle, and then renew the agita- 8
tion for a county lair? t
