One Year 91.50 8<x Months 75c "Let reverence for laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries and colleges; let it be written | in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of just'ce. And in short, let it become the poltical religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars." Weather forecast for South Carolina: Fair, warmer Tuesday; Wednesday fair. Tl^SOAY, OCTORKR 12, loTlL - - I wnat are you ooing ior me imr: + ? And are you planning to attend it? + We want you to exhibit and also to b come and help make it a success. 1 e + t -> The fair belongs to every man,! g, woman and child in Lancaster! w county. | ti + 't Wc hope that the small grain, v as well as clover and grasses, will 'e be planted in abundance this fall. xv + C! If we have pride in our town we j n will strive always to make it cleaner. more cultured and more beautiful. ! % + Lancaster has need of the cream-j ery routes and we should secure such l\means of disposing of the creatn which many farmers would be glad i to sell. I v ? + | A better time than nnw fnr hnitit. .. ing would be hard to find. If you, M have been thinking about building'3 a home or other structure, "do it ? now." .1 * : ? Much of the success of the fair j a depends on the school children and. their teachers. There should be a i o friendly rivalry among the schools 0 for the best exhibit. (J J Let's swat the county-to-county J campaign before it makes its ap- n pearance again. By eliminating I r this blenniel circus South Carolina j ^ would free herself from a harmful a pest. i v 4i ; 1 The men who advertise are the v progressive men in any community.! 1 They know that the way to get and f keep trade is to he constantly re-ij minding the public through the med-l t itim, of the local paper that they t have what the public needs. If every school district in Lancaster county had its moonlight schools, illiteracy would be reduced and finally banished altogether. Give all the people a chance and they will avail themselves of it. + When cold or inclement weather makes it impossible for the chil dren to patronize the playground we believe they will enjoy a story-tell ing hour. One or more teachers have voluteered to entertain the children thus and other volunteers will be needed if such an instructive and entertaining hour is to be given regularly. ' i Lancaster can no longer afford to be without the services of a com-' munity nurse, who would bo worth many times the salary she would, command. By visiting the homes' of the careless or indifferent she | teaches them the meaning of sani-i ration and shows them how cleanli-j ness is desirable not only for its own sake but for the sake of themselves and their neighbors. + "The semi-annual county to coun ty procession may be a big circus but whatever happens there can be: seen and heard by the people, which' gives them information which they| m'ght be unable to get in any other! way," says The Orangeburg Times and Democrat. But are we not better off without the "information" thus Imparted? "Ignorance is bliss" indeed compared with the evil effects i of a system which only arouses passion and hatred. Let every man ar- 1 ranee bis own campa'arn and the discussion will thereby be one of Issues rather than personalities. ?e<^Ttet9^:::iotoiacicicicic4oicioioiotpic^ Wllili YOU HKliP? k H' I !

We have no building-* in vhich to exhibit, no race t-acks, no ominlttees which in some counties vork for months to arrang 3 the deails of the fair. We wish such relources were at our command and ve hope that before many years lave passed we will have a permalent working organization, perrnalent buildings and full equipment, iut meanwhile we are not to be kept rom holding a fair merely because hese things, however important and lesirable, are not yet provided. We iemonstrated last year that any peoile who have the desire to help themlelves and others by this means, can lave a fair, if only there is sufficient nterest and co-operation. The pluck if the men and women who gave us )ur first annual fair, augmented by ithers who will this year lend their ;ime and efforts to the good cause. will make our second venture even more helpful than our first. It occurs to us that some people may not realize that the labors of last year levolved upon a few, when many lands would have made light work if it. But because it was a labor of ove and loyalty, the workers did not ince turn from their tasks. They lad much to discourage them, but hey never faltered in their deternination to serve the people of the munty. Every person who helped o make our first fair the medium hrough which to develop all that is est in our community life, renderd a distinct service to the county, i iiid all.who sent in exhibits, all who elicited, or arranged them and all j ho attended the fair last year, con-j rlbuted towards our first brave vetinre. If the fair was made worth. \hile last year, how much morel asilv can we make it so this year, hen everything is in our favor? Wei an and we will if everybody does a 1 urn's part. Will you help? + AI>VKRTISIX<;. ?
