LANCASTER COUNTY'S
FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS
???
(Continued from I'age One.)
tant live stock agent of the Southern
Railway, wus also here during the
fair, and together with Mr. and Mrs.
Wood, explained to visitors the many
nevicen which uiuhc iui ueuci uhu
raore profitable farm life. The domestic
science department featured
a model kitchen, furnished with inexpensive
equipment, including a homemade
kitchen cabinet, a sink, calling
for a certain kind of enameled basin
wnich may be pat in at home on a
'rame of lead pipe, with a drain board
attached. Over the sink and arj^Luged
in the cabinet were various.cooking
utensils of the kind to save steps
and labor. The kitchen was further
equipped with an oil stove, fireless
cooker, refrigerator and pails of
all kinds. Every observant eye a ppreciated
the value of the high stool
in front the sink .for the convenience |
of the dishwasher. There were charts j
showing what is contained in meats,
cereals, fruits, fish, etc., ~nd the relative
nourishment in each food.
The dairy departluont included pictures
of desirable types of dairy
lir imI viz. the !iois:<MH. t?uurnsey,
Jersey aril \vor hire. handling milk
from the time it is drawn from the
cow unti! it is put upon th" market
The d'.spl. y 'tiso inch: tod a cream
separator, milk cooler, sanitan milk
pa" and strainer. There were ah )
' different types of tlos, showing vations
methods of construction, also
several types of dairy barns, churns,
butter workers, etc. Of p-rticular
Interest to all who saw it was the useful
test machine, which enables the
farmer by a simple chemical process,
to determine the profitable and unprofitable
cows in ltis herd.
The horticultural department, designed
to educate the people in selecting
and planting shrubs and trees
of desirable types adapted to growth'
upon certain land, is the third department
of the exhibit. It shows proper
methods of planting and culture, including
pruning, spraying etc. The 1
chief insect pests and fungus diseases j
inimical to the tree and its fruits are
especially treated. Barrels, boxes
and other containers for marketing
constitute an important feature of the
display. All apparatus for the protection
of the trees and the care of
the fruit are displayed and demonstrated.
TI war thrnnch thp kindnpsu
Mr. M. V. Richards, commissioner of
the industrial and agricultural deprat
ment of the Southern Railway, that
this wonderfully instructive exhibit
became a part of our county fair.
Secretary Ellison knew of the very
helpful nature of this department!
of the great railway's activities and
applied for it to he sent to our fair.
Every visitor was impressed with
the desire of this great system to
rtelp advance the prosperity of the
section it traverses. Mr. and Mrs.
Wood wore splendid demonstrators,
impressing our people very favorably
with their courtesy, their constant
interest and attention In answeroing
all who care to know about tl.eir
exhibit.
BIRD PROTECTION.
Next in order after the Southern
Railway's exhibit, was another very
interesting and instructive one, an
exhibit in the interest of bird protection,
prepared under the direction
of the National Association of Audubon
Socoetles and the bird committee
of the South Carolina Federation
of Women's Clubs, demonstrated
by means of charts and presided
over by Miss Belle Williams of
Columbia. There were to be seen
pictures of birds and mammals
which have been totally exterminated
in South Carolina. The foes
to bird life were shown also. \
ferocious house cat was pictured in
the act of tearing to pieces a helpless
bird. It was urged on another
poster that dove-baiting be prohibited.
Every native bird appeared in
lifelike colors. The woodpecker
was shown to be a natural tree protector
and other birds eat insects
and thus save $100,000,000 worth
of farmers' crops every year. Another
poster advised the enactment
of a $1 resident license to provide
adequate funds for bird protection. '
Farmers are urged to save the birds '
by posting their land, for they are
reminded that birds eat weed seed
and insects. Attractive bird boxes
were shown and literature on the i
subject of bird protection was given i
away free of cost to all who visited
the exhibit. Posters showed the'
useful birds that eat the army
worm and the mosquito. The vanity
of women who use the birds of
rare plumage on their hate and
thus encourage the slaughter of the
little creatures, is featured in all its
h Arm r Thn ovhihit \1-?? _i f nalofnllv
arranged and explained to all who
showed their interest by their comments.
Miss Williams interested
many others by her desire to be of
service to them to the end that bird
Hfe may be conserved and the birds
encouraged to nest in our trees unmolested
by cruelty of man or
be&st. 1
SCHOOL RXIIIBITS.
The school exhibits, shown in the
right hand jury room, were a splendid
index to the good work going
on in the schools throughout Lancaster
county. The largest and best
exhibit in this room was that of the
Heath Springs school. Much care
had been taken in the arrangement
of the work. Superintendent Bush
ahrdt and four young lady teachers,
together with several of the older
scholars, having come up on Wed
nesday afternoon to have all in
readiness for the opening. A Heath
Springs' banner in the school colors,
blue and gold, marked their space,
in which were splendid specimens of
basketry, carpentry, fancy work,
plain sewing, products contributed
by the agricultural class, etc. The
pretty posters made by the children
added much to the attractiveness of
I
1
the display. Then there were
specimens of writing, drawing and
composition. The most interesting
feature of the exhibit, however, was
a sand "table, containing a perfect
replica of the school building and
grounds, the Charlotte-Camden
road and across the road, the min-1

well.
Next In order cnme the Ferguson
school's exhibit, a snow scene well
portrayed. A little house covered'
with snow and sleet stood beside n.
lake and several reindeer drove a
sleigh up to the house. '"Twas th#|
Night Before Christmas," was thu$
cleverly featured. A9 gossip of
snow-sprinkled pines added to th?
effect of this picture from the land
of snow and ice.
Upon a pennant of dark bine
lettered in white we read the name
of the next school, Craigsville. and
upon the raantlepiece and above It
was displayed the work of this good
school. There were specimens Of
cut paper work, sewing, writing, embroidery,
maps and other drawing,
as well as crochet and tatting.
The Elgin school showed an ex-;
hibit of cut paper work, class work |
in writing and composition, maps
and other drawing.
The Ant inch school heel a big pennant
in school colors with tin* n me.
of the ccliool upon it. There was an
excellent picture of the school, other
paint inns in water colors ami some
beautiful embroidery.
PANTllY PRODUCTS
The judge's and the clerk's desks
formed a base for the white nd
green decorations upon which the
pantrv prod no's were displayed.,
Sofl while cloth covered every pedr 1
sta! and shelf end ferns and palms,
were interspersed among the preserves.
jellies, pickles, canned fryit
and vegetables, winter garden products,
like lettuce, radishes, onions,
etc., n splendid array. There were
also butter, candy, cake, loaf bread.
biscuits and corn pone, arranged
attractively in a show ease. There
was also a specimen of Pinehurst
tea. which is raised in SummerVille,
this state, and some mammoth hickory
nuts from Dallas county, Arkansos.
both exhibited that they might
suggest to our people two products
thev could well raise here. This exhibit,
thought not very large, contained
a variety of products, showing
the possibility of garden, field ,
and kitchen, if rightly used. This
exhibit did credit t othe women who
contributed to it.
* r>rn iavititiit
t\ i r<A 111 i>i i .
The walls of the rooms back of the
judge's desk were lined with works
of art. many of which would do
credit to a museum. Pictures in
oil. watercolors, charcoal, pen and
Ink and pastel were shown, as well
as a beautiful exhibit of hand-painted
china, which is deserving of especial
mention. All of the china
was painted by Miss Christine McIlwain
and is work of genuine merit
Mr. Walter Mcllwain's cartoons
were also a feature of this exhibit,
and were well worthy of notice. They
denote unusual talent. We wish to
call attention to this department
particularly, for no premiums were
iffered in this line, yet a number of
public-spirited women, knowing
that the fine arts would add much to
the attractiveness of the fair, put
in some splendid specimens of work
done in Lancaster by artists of more
than ordinary talent.
NEEDLECRAFT EXHIBIT.
Perhaps the fullest and certainly
one of the most representative exhibits
of the kind that we have ever
seen, was the fine array of needlework,
a whole room full, which
demonstrated beyond all doubt that
in the line of sewing and fancy work
"Lancaster Leads" beyond all question.
The finest speciments of
quilts, cotton and silk in patchwork
designs, crocheted and knitted,
counterpanes, baby dresses, embroidered
lingerie, crocheted table
mats and centerpieces. Battenburg
and other lace, knitting of many
kinds, a variety of crocheted articles,
embroidered towels, pillow
cr.ses, centerpieces, doilies, handkerchiefs,
specimens of hemstitching,
bead work, cut work, solid and eyelet
embroidery, cross-stitch, braiding
drawnwork, knitted stockings,
straw hats, woven at home, and
every conceivable sort of work made
by busy and well trained hands.
Of interest to all lovers of the
antique, were several articles of unusual
value because they are quite
old and several of them, for instance
two quits and an old linen
coat, were made of linen and cotton,
rnised, spun, woven and made up
in this county more than a hundred
years ago. The counterpanes were
also elaborately embroidered. A
white satin wedding vest 9 8 years
old, was also a center of interest, aa
well as a gun made in 1706. Another
curiosity was a set of moulds
for clay pipes.
PLUMBERS' EXHIBIT.
Mr. Robert S. Harper exhibited a
full line of bath room and
kitchen accessories and plumbing attachments
of all kinds. Mr. Harper
<>arriee a complete assortment, of
fixtures.

POULTRY EXHIBIT,
j 0 Under the management of Messrs.
! J'. T- Woodward and W. H. Cynningliam,
the poultry exhibit in the lower
' haJl of the court house, was one of
; the finest displays to be seen at the
fair and: did credit to the energy of
fhe men who managed it, as well
to all the other exhibitors. Many
ttouneed it the very best they had
ever spen at a county fair. The
coops or pens were well made and
presonted a neat, attractive appearance
and the variety of birds on exhibit
was splendid.
The poultry department of the
fair has been well attended and
judging from the remarks of hundreds
of visitor?, it is as fine a show
us is usually seen at other fairs, and
above y good many. The manager*
of this department, Mr. J. T. Woodward
and Mr. W. H. Cunningham
are very much gratified with 1h?
good will and help of all those who
so kindly responded, sending tlieii
various exhibits and wish to thanh
all of them heartllv for thetr co

by Mr. Thonison. He had made

these wen4 hung at regular intervals
on a twine string as a border

LANCASTER COTTON OIL MILL
EXHIBIT. -.?
Another of the ' manufacturing
| concerns of which we have reason
to be proud is the Lancaster Cotton
Oil Company, which had a highly
creditable exhibit at the f&ir and one
which excited the interest of every
1 visitor. On a table at the left of the
entrance. Mr. A. G. Ellison, the
, capable manager of this concern,
had arranged with care the several
products, showing them all the way
from cotton seed to refined cooking
and salad oil. First the tint was ~el'uliy
renviivel and the liaiora and
cotton tlujs obtained, was exhibited.
The seed after being freed from lint
is hulled, the outside taken off and
the heart of the seed left. This If
next ground finer, then finer still,
after which the oil is extracted and
the meal formed into hard cakes.
From the oil in its crude state
various commodities are made and
refined, it becomes a valued cooking
and Balad oil, Snowdrift, etc. A big
sack of hulls and one of meal ready
for shipping as well as cans of oil
and buckets of Snowdrift formed a

AEROPLANE FLIGHTS.
On account of the extremely ad._
verse weather condition on Friday,
the aviator, Mr. W. S. Luckey, could
not make his first scheduled flight
that day, but on Saturday he took
advantage of a lull between showesr
and rising from the ball park to a
considerabde hejght, made two
r? graceful circuits around the town.
Arrived a tthe starting place, he
) flew lower and cutting off the mon
tor of his machine, descended easlly,
skim(mlng the surface of the
!r ground for some distance.
Again on Monday Mr. Luckey
s made another flight, even more extensive
than the first. He made two
n flights across the town and twice he
i. circled far above and beyond the
v mill village. Large crowds cheered
i- the daring feats, which added a
h novel feature to the fair, for many
had never seen an aviation flight.
* Mr. Luckeys biplant was more clos-e
i- Jy examined by a number of visitors
i. It is a comparatively new one-pas>r
senger machine, light and built on
n eood lines.
The fireworks at night were an
if attractive not to be overlooked, as
d were the band concerts twice daily,
e Much more might be written of the
e success of our first county fair, but
t. our already crowded columns proit
hibit a longer story.
The True Test of Civilization
' It has been claimed that the stan^
ding of the woman in the community
the respect shown to her, the assur,e
ance that her rights wil be protected
y may be regarded as an unfailing
't evidence of civilized conditions. The
>e financier Is inclined to regard that
nation as leading the others in the
i. march of progress which controls the
o finances of the world. The engineer
takes his measure of value accordJ*
ng to the amount and efficiency of
machinery used. In the domain of
e. transportation most is made of the
proportion of railroad lines to the
r* urea or perhaps the population of a
country. So every one uees the meas
Kt ure to which he is accustomed in
ip his home, his trade or his vocation.
' the pentlment that the rank of a
j community in the scale of progress
a. | should range according to the slgr?f
niflcance ascribed to the education
"-{of children, we would perhaps have
j"! an indicator that comes nearest to
i)t|the real criterion of true culture,
m The educational ideal does not
:s,! merely mean a preservation of the
5fj treasures of the past, but Includes
future progress. It Is not sufficient
(.,] that the children of today be like

I our children better chances in their
