THE SUBJECT OF A COUNTY FAIR,
AGAIN
The Lancaster News must not
forget its former agitation for a |
caiiiiIv Fuir rif?r lf?t l)t<? limft I
slip to renew the agitation.
Something like that is needed
both to stimulate a pride and interest
in the development of the
county's resources and to bring
our people in close touch and
relationship with each other.
At present we have nothing to
bring the people of the different
section8 ot the county together
at any time. A fair would have
the effect ot gathering them together
at least once a year.?
Kershaw Era.
We have by no means forgotten
the matter, esteemed contemporary.
The subject of a
county lair often recurs to our
mind, but our 'dormer agita
tion" met with such little en- !
couragement that we have not
* <t mustered up sufficient cour
a^e to renew tne discussion.
Why Lancaster's leading citizens
?hnsincs- and professional men
and farmer?!o not take the
matter in ban i is really inexpii
cable to us. The many advun j
tajres oi acounty fair to all inter-j
ests?agricultural. commercial,
financial, social an 1 others?are
ho manifest, and have been so frequently
and Mtcc(?fully demon - I
a'rated by the experience ?t
oiht r c <uuties, that our people, :
:I, recurs to us, ouulit no longer
to demy taking i-tep-i to have an I
annual tair in Lancaster. But i

SENATOP BAILEY'S GPEAT I
SPEECH
One of the able-u speeches I
made in Congress in years whs |
deliv<*r?*(l in the tt-oate Tuesday I
by Senator Badev, of Texas, on I <
i '
the railroad rate bill. Notwithstanding
the tact that he spoke <
lor four hours the brilliant Tex- P
an held the undivided attention '
o' his auditors throughout. The
Senate chamber was literally
i - r
packed, not even a seat in tlie
g.dleiies being vacant, ->o great
r? O ' n ji
was the public interest in what j
Mr. Bailey had to say on the i
mo*', important measure now I'
before CN?n , the bill to regulate
railr <tes.
Mr. Bailey showed conclusively
that Congress is vested wuh
ample p wer to prevent federal
scurfs from enjoining the euloicement
of rates f;xed by the interstate
commerce commission pending
appeals from the latter's orders
fixing such rates. He c ted
numerous authorities to sustain
his contention. -So convincing
was Senator Bailey's argument
that Senator Ilale arose and announced
Ins willingness to accept
the Texas statesman's a
tnendment denying the courts
the right to -m-pen 1 ra'es while
awaiting fina! decision of the
issues involved 111 ciso? arising
under the proposed law.
While di-claiming any intention
o( attacking the courts, Senator
Bailey declared that he had
persona! knowledge of the lac'
hit some Judges were guilty ol
abuses, and lie therefore lavore.l
placing limitations upon all '*t
them. Discussing the pow
er of Congress to abridge
nr limif the rioVit* rif t tie roiirlt
he paid the following compliment
to Senator Tillman, wholias
charge of the bill under consideration:
"The power to create and the
power to destroy must include
the power to limit. The Senator
from South Carolina has been
pressing this point as a cornfield
lawyer, and the constitutional
lawyers have never yet been able
to satisfactorily answer his contention.
"
"The Congrea"," Senator
Bailey declared, "has not only
asserted its right to deny to the
courts the right to issue writs ol
injunction, hut it has asserted its
right to deny to them the privilege
of issuing 'he great writ of
liberty, the writ of habeas corpus."
Again he said : "It is the
duty ot the Federal Courts, not
to make the law for Congress,
but to obey the law that Congress
makes for tin-in."
It is thought tha* Senator
Bailey's masterly speech will
have the effect of hastening the
vote on the rale bill.
COTTON ACREAGE AND DIVERSIFICATION
IN FARMING.
The la?>t issue of the Manufacture:
s' Kecod. ol Hdtim ?re.
contains replies from several
)iuin!it*il hankers and business
men in llie cotton stales to the
I olio ^ i ng four <| u est ions address
oil fotliem by ttia' journal:
1. I low will the acreage in
cotton in iour vicinity compare
v* it h that of last year?
2. Will the success ot the
year's campaign in diversilication

banks and the growers he duplicated

lal condition of the farmers in
/our vicinity, and in what duec
ion are I hey investigating what
;ver surplus th?*y may have?
The Record ^ive? a brief hum.narv
of the replica as follows:
The replies indicate a tenden\y
toward a slight increase lor
he cotton belt an a whole, an
acreage, however, not overcomiik
the decrease in 1905 from
the acreage of 1904, and a ten
dency to be restrained by cert??n
natural ?ac or*. The replies
f-ho-v ateadv advance in diversification
olcrops, a firmer f urpo'e
than ever on the part ?.f bankers :
and farmers to sta.d together'
for the common good and a greater
degree oi comiort among the
growers.
Among the numerous replies
published is the following from
I/rnca-ter, by Mr. L. (\ Lazenby,
secretary ?>f the Lancaster MtrcatPile
company:
As to acreage, it is rather hard
to tell at this stage just what i?
j will be. Certainly it will be no
, larger tban !a-l >ear. Our im
pressinn is that it will be slightly
decreased on account o; c?rci'>
'of labor and the lateness ol the!
1 -eM'on. W" think the cam a gn

We cKink tiie farmers ar? learn j|
ing more and more each year M
' that the proper thing for them ijj
to do is to raise their supplies at J
. home and thus put themselves
in a more independent position j
We think the general financial i
condition ol the farmers is het |
ter than it lias been for some
time. They are using their stir 1
plus in paying casli for their
supplies for this year and investing
in real estate.

THE COTTON WAPEHOUSE MOVE-j
WENT.
As will he seen by the adver.
tising columns of The News,
booksof sub cription to the capi
lal stock of the Lancaster Cot ton
\\ arehouHe Association are now I
open at t lie office of W. C Hough, j
Esq. It will be recalled tbat, at
its meeting some time ago, the
County Co*ton Growers' Associa j
tion decided to build warehouses
at Lancaster, Heath Springs and
Kershaw, and it is in pursuance
of that decision that steps arei
now being taken to erect a ware,
house at this point.
As stated in an article on thei
subject in The News ot the 4th I
I instant, the capital stock of tliej
Lancaster warehouse association
1 is $7,000., divided into350 shares
of $20. each. When the books

There is no question about t be t
