Everything should be 1 In gala attire for the big event. 1 <* The first Lancaster County Fair, < held last year, was Rood, but the t second will be even better. I * "The world's series is over. The f next stop will be Thanksgiving," i wnnoucea The Greenwood Daily t Journal. There is already thanksgiving among those who "won with ' Boston." s We agree with The Chester News | that that city needs a Chamber of , Oommorce. The advantages Chester ^ has to offer will never be very widely advertised until somebody gives his whole time to that end. No live town 1 can afford to be without such an . organization and we hope Chester will soon supply this need.

What is yours? 41 "Is South Carolina going to go i right ahead with constructive poli- i cies or is she going to stand around waiting for political excitement to expend her energies upon?" This pertinent question is asked 1 by The Spartanburg Herald. It is certainly high time our people realized that a serious crisis confronts us. If South Carolinians continue to be swayerl and controlled bv nolitlcnl rather than constructive policies, the future holds little hope of better things. - ? The Civic League, through certain of its eommittes, has set aptrt tiext week. October 25-30, as Cleanup Week and with proper cooperation their campaign can he made a great access.

Having " 'Stablished last year such a splendid is >recedent. a Fair which in spite of e ain and mud. was well attended ? ind creditable in every' way, we c< nust this year equal and even surpass Cl (ur first achievement. Many of our Cl nost progressive farmers are select- !' tig their finest products for exhibit- a on purposes and it is our wish to a nake the exhibits as varied as pos- si ible. We want them to be represun- ? ative of all that is best in the county. a "he farm.th'1 home, the school should ? end those things in which each '* lie excel, Every one of us has ? lis or her forte and it is this thing hat we 'an do best that we want I' o be known by. Then after you n av >ent in the things which most a ruly represent you. come to the Fair * nd see how they compare with hat others have sent. Come to .ancaster that you may be in elbow t( u<h with other men who are work- P tig for the further development of .ancaster County. Every man and ri oman. as well as the school children, n lust have accomplished something ? worthwhile. It is not enough to s' end to the Fair what you have pre- 11 iared for it: you should come and r-l 1 others how that product was > aised. Your presence and your dvice will help some otlu-r farmer p i) achieve like success. Your wis- w ont and experience or your word of ? ncouragement will perhaps he just ? tie spur some less confident farmer ^ eeds. Then the mere presence of a large concourse of people, united i a common purpose and that purose the praise-worthy work of de- j eloping our county resources, is so inspiring that none of us can afford 3 miss It. " Lancaster County has made re- w r.arkable progresj of late years.

We have '.earn-id that we | t. e.l the people of the county ov? it as i he people of the county need us. ' And the Fair belongs to us all.

HrSmrH1 I 'AWJ'J'JZM \r * r NOT PECULIAR TO CHARLES- + ' TON. * f. . . 1 The once proud Charleston may well hang her head in shame and )oor old South Carolina, of which she s the erring child, is humbled be ause of her. The outrage perpetrated in Charleston last Friday is a blow it law and order which is a disgrace to the commonwealth. When discord growing out of an election leads to 'uch a tragedy as has been perpetrat- < Ml there, no man's life is safe from the fury of factions into which the ' J eople are divided. Many there are who criticized Gov. Manning severely . because, fearful of an outbreak on ' the day of the mayoralty election, he ' saw lit to order the militia under , arms, rharlestonians and others > bitterly resented this as a reflection < pon their ability to maintain order ' lion, therefore, the militia was with- , drawn. Later events more than Jus- t t:fy the governor's course of action. 1 If officers sworn to give protection at all times, failed so signally when the executive committee met to declare the result of the election, what might not they not have permitted on the day when the election was held, had not the governor in his wisdom offered other protection? 'nstead of resenting his action, rightthinking Charlestonlans as well as South Carolinians elsewhere must acknowledge their thankfulness to him that the election itself passed without bloodshed. The attitude of the police at the meetinp of the px?>ru>ive committee allowed tiie'.r unfitness for tlie positions they hold. A f|nlet, unoffending younp reporter, whose short career pave prom- , ig? of real ach evement in journalism, "as struck down while In the performance of a duty which necessi-, 'ated h'a presence at the meetinp. Several others were wounded in the Kcneral phootlnp wh'ch ensued. Re- < norts ghow that somebody failed to mcanure up to the requirements of the situation. If men in the'r blind j fury, strike down other men, because ] TITV f.AVPWJTVM? VVWVJ if political differences, it is not t'rue | re were facing the issue squarely? Ve cannot allow t^e peace of the ouimonwealth to be thus trampled inderfoot. Lawlessness is by; no | leans peculiar to Charleston. It ex- < >ts to a greater or less degree in ev* 1 rv town and county in South Car- ! lina and only needs the occasion to < ause an outbreak. The quiet of i onservative old Wlnsboro was re- 1 ently broken and the very tmple of ' istice became the scene of a deplor- t ble tragedy. And yet Charleston nd Winnsboro are not alone to be ngled out for censure because like J utbreaks might just as easily occur , nywhere in the State. The snirit ' f lawlessness is abroad in South " arolina and may break out whenever ( ccasion offers. , It is time for the law-abiding. 1 eaee-loving element in theis State to alize that such a condition exists ' nd to mobilize for action against Those who criticize Cover*1 "?r J tanning for trying to prevent an out- ' reak by sending troops to Charles- ' i to keep the peace, could be more t rofitably employed in condemning i le lawless men who went to the ' ommittee room with concealed pis- ' >ls in their prockets ready to deal ] ut death and destruction if such ] cemed to them necessary in orner < > further their ends 'fhe need ot lie hour is for men who will dare to 5 l>e:ik out against lawlessness wh?i%- . vpr it exists.

Hammond was at his cotton gin , ear Oakhurst Saturday morning, hen a negro man. Jim Leach by , ame. got off the southbound Southrn train and went directly to the ;in. He soon caused a disturbance niong the negroes at the gin and Mr. iammond remonstrated with him, sking him to leave, whereupon -each suddenly drew out his knife nd cut Mr Hammond across the left heek as well as cut a gash across lis left hand. The wound on the face vhieh was tlie deeper, necessitated lie tak'ne of several stitches Tlimiph mite painful. Mr. Hammond's injuries are not regarded as serious. Sheriff Hunter was summoned to ito scene of the putting, and hastened hither by automobile, but the negro lad beaten a hasty retreat. He did lot. however, elude our vigilant 'heriff. who having found that he ived near the Haile Gold Mine, went o the negroe's home and was told hat he was not there. While tailing to Leach's mother at the front loor. Leach walked in at the back loor and was at once arrested, sheriff Hunter brought him to I^an"aster where he is now in the cusody of Jailor Carnes. TKACHERH' MEETING. To l?c Jlelcl at the Central School lluMdlng, October .10. Kvery teacher in Lancaster county s earnestly requested to be present it the graded school building at the first teachers' meeting, Saturday, Jctober .10, for the purpose of organzing and planning the work for the year. Come, let's have a full attenlance at the beginning. The plans and officers elected will have much o do with the success of the association and the schools of the county. Also, a rural school improvement association is to be organized. A >acher who has no interest in these organizations has but little interest in the development of her community md her sojourn is limited in the -honl in which she is an instructor Our meet'ngs were good last year and well attended. Why should they not be better this year? Those who io not need our help please come and impart some of that wisdom of yours lo the re?t of us and don't be so selfish with it We want to improve the schools of Lancaster county and ibis can only be done bv your help and co-operative spirit. Help us make them better. Ask your trustees to provide a way for you to come 10 town. They will gladly do this if you explain what It means to the schools. Program published later. Respectfully, V.
