TUESDAY, DECEMBER J, 11H4. |
Now for our first county fair.
Don't you want to help make it a
success?
Let fair week also be "Pay Up
Week" in Lancaster.
There are attractions sufficient to
entertain any number of people.
Send something right away to be
put on exhibit. Then come to the i
fair and see what others have sent.
i
You haven't done your part by 1
your first county fair if you haven't '
sent something to exhibit. There
is yet time today, but remember, 1
this is the last call.
We cannot begin to enumerate the
attractions which have been booked
for the county fair. We can only
insist that you come to Lancaster
this week, for if you do not, you'll
live to regret it.
The inspiration and encouragement
given to our people last week ,
by the efficient president of the j
South Carolina School Improvement
Association should sour us all on to
Irrger undertakings.
You may have forgotten that there j
are blind tigers in Lancaster but
we have not. This is not to advise
fair week visitors that they exist,
hut rather to warn them against
patronizing such people.
Lancaster is just about the busiest
place you ever saw. We are in the
midst of work on waterworks extension,
sewerage and street improvement,
have had a booster trip
to neighboring towns aud are aniicipating
the fair this week.
I
-
Congratulations to The Charles- j
ton Evening Post upon its recent
"Greater Charleston Edition." It
betokens a spirit of helpfulness and
optimism at a time when these
things are most needed and should
serve as a booster for business.
The local merchants have been
patient with their creditors and deserve
well of them. Then pay them
at least a part of what you owe, at
the same time buying from them
what you need, for they are offering
some splendid values right now.
"He's the finest booster I ever
Saw,"' said Miss Hlte of Secretary
tniio/xn In bnn ~ 1 1- * - * 1
uuiiwii in IICI Lam IU lue manners
of the county last Saturday. She
has expressed our sentiments exactly
and we believe the sentimnts
of al 1th people of Lancaster county.
Did you know that eighty-five
per cent of the business failures are
those who do not advertise? The
successful man knows the value of
advertising and can tell you what
it means to his business. Watch
those who use these columns constantly.
The moral is obvious.
Visitors to our fair will not be
diappolnted, for plans have been
made along the right lines. The fair
is designed to further develop Lancaster
county in the very pbfest way
possible. It is not be a mere circus
or carnival, but rather a more
malnl InatU-tU. mi ?
uovtui iiinvivuuuii. j nrou^n 113
agency, we hope for better business
of all kinds, better homos, better
schools and btter farms.
NOW IK) YOClt I'AKT.
All that any one man can ilo lias
been done lor the Lancaster county
fair by Luther Ellison, secretary of
the t'haniber of Commerce, who
tirst sugested the fair and lias put
forth every possible effort to make
lit helpful to our people. He has
worked tirelessly upon the project,
| with a confidence which has defied
j every obstacle and has won to his
| way of thinking, others who at first
; Hesitated at attempting It. Talk of
; aura times ne neeaea not,. uouui
and hesitation he thrust aside, and
working steadfastly for what he
knew would be a benefit to us all,
j our efficient secretary hs brought us
| to the eve of our first county fair
! since the Civil War.
The Chamber of Commerce
stands ready to help in a financial
j way, but the secretary's plan is to
make the fair pay for itself as far as
possible. With the co-operation of
the citizens of Lancaster county,
this end may be accomplished. Are
you ready to help? Upon your answer
to this simple question the
success or failure of the fair deponds.
When so much has been attempted
for the pleasure and profit of us all,
is it asking too much that each con|
tribute of his time, talent and some- :
thing of his means to the enterprise?
The fair ought to be made a permanent
institution and as "nothing
succeeds like success," it probably
will become a settled thing, if its
initial attempt goes well.
Let's see that it does us credit.
Let's take a personal interest in it. '
Let every one of us feel tha tit be- ;
longs to us as it should in the sense '
that it represents something we have
done.
If we make of the fair an exhibi- j
v.?u v/i uui icsuurws, li we Dnng i
to it the best products of school,
home and farm, if we lend the further
help of our presence, we cannot
but feel confident of the outcome.
But if we do not send a contribution, !
leaving that for somebody else to do, |
if we fail to be present at the fair. |
thinking it scarcely worth our i
w hile, we shall have only ourselves I
to blame should the venture prove !
unsuccessful. But such, we believe, i
is not the spirit Lancaster will show. !
We have faith in the co-operation of
the good people of this county. The
several agencies at work in the
town will, we are confident, be supplemented
by the help of the people
of the county and the co-operaticn
of all the forces for the upbuilding
of Lancaster must win success. Let ,
the trustees pay their teachers who
give holiday next Friday, that the
children may participate in Ssehool
Day. Do not count that day off
when you make out their checks,
particularly if they themselves attend
the Teachers' Institute. They
will be better teachers because of 1
what they see and hear, just as you
will be better citizens and your children
better pupils because of their (
visit to the fair.
Then do your part, every one of
you. Come to the fair, bring your
families to the fair and urge all your
neighbors to follow your good e*- j
ample.

JUDOK MOORK AND MOB BULK.
Judge Ernest Moore, in passing
sentence on Horace Finch, W. R.
Belcher and Robert Wilson, the j
three white men convicted of riot- 1
ing and storming the Spartanburg
jail, on the night of August 18, I
lit 111, in an effort to lynch the negro
Will Fair, who was subsequently
acquitted on his trial, said:
"In a true sense, your criminal
acts were not only violations of the
criminal laws of tiiis state, but they
were directly aimed against the enforcement
of the laws of the state hy
the due and orderly procedure of the
courts, as provided by law. Those
acts were such as directly tended to
subversion of all law and order, being
acts which sought to substitute
tiic rule of the mob for that of the
1 due and orderly administration of
j the laws by the people acting
' through their legally established
tribunals.
I "If such acts were left unchecked
; ar.d permitted to continue, and if
I such offences were left unpunished
they would ultimately and necesi
sariiy result in the subversion of
; all law and order and eventuate in
the substitution of mob rule and
! .'ill n TP h v ff\r tha rluo anil nrHorl ?r oH
! ministration of justice by the people.
acting through their legally and
regularly constituted courts and
duly chosen officials in the enforcement
of the laws made by the people
themselves."
It was peculiarly appropriate for
Judge Moore to emphasize the importance
of the enforcement of the
laws of the state by the "due and
orderly procedure of the courts as
provided by law." rather than that
individuals should undertake to do
so for themselves. Respect for law
and order can only be impressed
upon our people by such sentences
as are meted out to convicted criminals
like those imposed by Judge
Moore at Spartanburg. Judges
should do their duty no matter if
the governor should, the moment
after, undo their work.

THE LANCASTER NEW
TEACHERS HEAR
MISS M A T? v p. va uttp
President ol' Stale ltural School
improvement .Association
Speaks Here.
Miss Mary Eva Hite, president of
the South Carolina School Improve
ment Association, spent the greater
part of the past week visiting the
scnoois of Lancaster county and it
was our pleasure to near ner en
couragtng talk to a representative
body of teachers at the Central graded
school Saturday morning. About
twenty-tive teachers and several
trustees also were present to hear
Miss Hite and all were much encouraged
at the splendid snowthg
this county has made for she de]
clared that we had more active
1 scnool improvement associations
than any county she lias so far
visited. She said it was the aim of
the organization to have it represent
the interest of the community in
school affairs and that tl.ere must
be a definite aim in view for any
organization to succeed. Miss Hite
emphasized the two sides of school
improvement work, the social side
and the money side. She said that
a good way to get people out to the
meeting was to feed them, in this
connection taking occasion to mention
the fact that on her recent visit
to Osceola, the teacher served chocolate
and crackers and a reprosenta
live crowd gathered there for the
organization. The work of ncimni
improvement, said Miss Hite, depends
upon getting the p-'trons to
the school for if they gather there,
they will see the actual physical
needs of the school. She stressed
the fact that the school house should
be made the social center of tly?"
community, the gathering place of
the people whose children attend the
school. In making the school building
attractive she suggesterd good
pictures and window boxes. She
further urged the importance of a
school garden and real farm demon
stration for each school.
Miss Hite called upon Miss Minnie
Caskey and Miss Lillie Usher to
tell of successful entertainments
that their schools had given and
these efficient teachers gave their
co-workers some good suggestions.
Miss Hite then talked of school entertainments,
quoting from Professor
Hand, who asks that such affairs
be characterized by three "e's."
in other words, that they be entertaining.
elevating and economical.
She puts especial emphasis upon this
last, the economical consideration,
insisting that time belonging to
school work should not be put on
practice for entertainments. As
necessary as are these money-making
schemes, there must be other
than a money side of the work, said
Miss Hite. She advised a night
session of the school, in which every
child should be called upon to recite
before the natrons aw ?
of enlisting roal interest in the
school.
Miss liite spoke of tlie tliree aims
of the School Improvement Association
as looking towards health,
comfort and beauty. Single desks
and drinking fountains make for
better health, maps, shades, etc.,
for comfort and flowers and pictures
for beauty. She spoke also of the
importance of school extension work
such as cooking, sewing and gardening.
Secretary Ellison, who had visited
many of the schools in company
with Miss Hite and County Superintendent
tangle, was present and
made a short talk to the teachers as
he distributed county fair pennants,
one to each person present. He
told of the silver loving cup to be
presented to the school making the
best showing on School Day, next
Friday, at the fair. He congratulated
the teachers of the county upon
their schools, which he declared to
be above the average. Mr. Ellison
said he was employed to help upbuild
the resources of Lancaster
county and asked the teachers to
call upon him whenever he could assist
them.
The program for the Teachers'
Institute was read, as well as a list
oi xeacners and where they are to
be entertained. Miss llite told of
the importance of Teachers' Institutes,
urging all teachers to attend.
Miss Hite look occasion to congratulate
the county upon its school improvement
work, saying, "There's
no doubt that 'Lancaster Leads' in
educational matters." Miss llite
spoke particularly ol the splendid
work of Superintendent Lingle and
Mrs. W. K. Taylor .organizer for
Lancaster county. declaring that
their work was one of the linest
pieces of co-operation she has ever
known. Miss Hite told us she had
visited twenty-two schools in Lancaster
county, more than she had
reached elsewhere, which fact was
due to the systematic planning of
the trip by the county superintendent
and the county organizer, who
so carefully arranged her Itinerary
and then provided the best means
of conveying her to meet her ap
polntments.
We are informed by Miss Hite
; that she found eight old school associations
and three new ones, making
a total of eleven doing active work.
Miss Hite was much impressed
j with the work of Mr. Luther Ellison,
secretary of our Chamber of Com'
merce, and said he was the finest
; booster she ever saw. Mr. Lingle,
| she said, wi.s the next best booster
of her acquaintance. Miss Hite
said that never before had a Chamber
of Commerce assisted her in ber
work, but that here Mr. Ellison had
accompanied her and Mr. Lingle to
a number of schools. She called
Mr, Ellison "a perfect dynamo in
this county."
Miss Hite was thapked tor hiir
i %-lsit and for her encouraging remarks
by MisMs MUfnie Caskey and
Maggie Tompkins.
The amusemsnl fea.ure of the
I fair will appeal to some, the instruction
feature to others, while for
lour part, we expect to enjoy it all.

is making threatened Rock l^iHf?
supremacy among the good towns of
the state. Mr. Iloddey was present
at the organization of ouychamber
of Commerce less than jfr year ago
and expressed hlmsclf>?s being little
surprised at wl\at?^T^ancasti :* has

on^ffiat memorable occasion,
j Kespomra; to the addresses of wel!
come^were made by Hon. Claud N.
SgtfT and R. E. Wylie. After this
^reception, the party was entertained
at a sumptuous dinner at the Carolina
Hotel.
Mr. Julius Frledham paid a glowing
tribute to the progress of Hancaster
when he expressed himself, in
a characteristic way. saying. * Well,
well .well, just see what Lancaster
is doing and all the reBt of the
country going to hell. I'm sure
coming over to see your fair."
The party, after dinner. were
taken in automobiles to Winthrop
! College, where they were conducted
{through tha tmagnlflcent college by
I its president, the great educator,
; I)r. D. B. Johnson. The party felt
loath to leave this "Goo l Town,"
j but remembering that "Lancaster
| Leads." hurried on back to the train
and resumed their journey.
Stops were made at Catawba
| Junction. Riverside, Elgin, Pleasant
, Hill. Heath Snrlnes and Knrshnw
1 where good crowds received the
; boosters and where the party left
their train to mingle with the people.
On arriving at Kershaw Hie train
was met by a large and enthusiastic
outpouring of men, women and children.
After marching through town,
the halt was made in front of the
postothee and appropriate addresses
were made by Mayor C, rover O.
Welsh and Hon. J. C. Massev and
responded to by lion. C. N. Sapp and
} Secretary Ellison. The party inspected
the new passenger depot,
which is quite modern and would
do credit to a larger city.
On the return trip, a stop of
twenty minutes was made at Heath
Springs, where notwithstanding a
drizzling rain, the party was greeted
by a good crowd. Continuing the
journey, stops were made at Pleasant
Hill and again at Elgin. As the
train was ncaring Lancaster,
Mr. Ellison thanked the boostser
for co-operating with him
in advertising the town and
county. The success of the trip
is due mainly to the untiring zeai
and enthusiasm of Secretary Ellison,
who worked with so much confidence
as to fire the boosters with bis
splendid spirit. It is no dfsparagment
to the parts played by others
1 to say that after Secretary Ellison,
iGus Heleos "led afi the rest." His
oft-repeated ery at various places
along the route was. "You've got a
good town but 'Lancaster Leads ' "
Mr. S. M. Barnette as Uncie Sim
and Mr. W .H. Franklin, quite a recent
newcomer, in the role of clown,
made things merry all along the
way.
