We wonder it tin- Lancaster county teachers read of the stampede during a lire in the Peabody, Massachusetts, school. If the fire drill is practiced regularly, such loss of life could not occur. Any school building can be emptied rapidly if the system is taught systematically. Every true South Carolinian has cason to be proud of the recent state fair. It gave ocular proof of the progress we have made, showed our methods of diversification and demonstrated our power of recuperation. It was a great fair, the greatest ever, and we rejoice at its success. V If Lancastrians show their county loyalty as South Carolinians from every section of the commonwealth showed their state loyalty last week, the attendance at our county fair will he all that is to be desired. Let every man, woman and child mi Lancaster county stand for law and order in their communities. Ii" there are any who are openly or secretly violating any of the laws of lie stato, bring litem to justice. We hope every reader of The News will notice the account of the successful community fair at Pleasant Valley, published today. What the citi/.ens of this progressive community have done should he attempted hy the people of every section of "Lancaster county. We need many more such gatherings. + We notice from the majority of our exchanges that large quantities of real estate was sold in many counties under foreclosure proceedings. Only one tract of 97 acres was exposed to sale in this county Monday. Conditions in Lancaster county are in striking contrast to many other counties in the state. Lancaster as usual leads. -+ Savoyard, in commenting on President Cleveland's famous statement that "public office is a public trust," classifies office-holders as follows: "There are several classes of public offlc'als, one who regard office as opportunity to serve the peoplo and another is made up of those who seek office to satisfy personal vanity. Then there Is the depraved group that slue office for its pecuniary emoluments." It is not hard to tell to which class the great majority of Zonth Carolina office-holders be*? ... ?v.i*y i' ) jU ' - " -r" ' * THK F A I It?LAST CALL. -? I?i?!?l-rl?I?I~I?! ?I? rvrlTrr!?I?I?I?I?I?I? The second Lancaster county fair will open tomorrow ar.d everything points to a successful occasion. Prosperity has aroused optimism, good crop yields make exhibits well worth see;ng and the weather is ideal. A more propitious time for the holding of a county fair could not have been selected. Everything is in readiness for the opening and yet we want to remind the tardy ones to bring in their exhibits tomorrow when everything will be finally arranged for inspection. The fair grounds are centrally located, on Main street and looks like a city of tents. They present an attractive appearance and are conveniently grouped. Everything that can be done for furthering the end# foi v the fair is intended has been done by Secretary Ellison and the county fair committees. It now remains for our people to furnish representative exhibits and to attend the fair. This we believe thev will do. They are optimistic for fortune has favored them very generously. Abundant crops and good prices for all farm products make the farmers feel like celebrating the return of prosperity. The merchants and business men also are profiting by improved business conditions. The people in store, farm, factory, home and school all have reason to feel trood and they should meet here this week and rejoice over the fruit of their labors. There will doubtless be gathered '->cether in Lancaster this week thousands of happy-hearted, care-free people. Lancaster welcomes every mn and daughter, as well as neighbors and friends. The county fair is going to be a great success by your help and patronage. If you can't be here every day, decide to come for School Day on Friday. That will probably be the "big day," but every our of every day will be filled with profit and pleasure. Already the carnival spirit is upon us. With the hand playing in the bright autumn sunshine and the stir of preparation all about, we simply can't work. But is is no time for work -its fair week. WHY NOT IIKM'? Tin- Charleston Post, in an editorial on the r< cent rinsing of the Charleston dispensaries, comments on the r< srltant "sobriety of the people" and the striet guard upon the illegal sellers of liquor, and closes with this statement: "If even such a measure of enforcement as hr.s been made during the past two weeks can be maintained in Charleston continuously after the new law go^s into operation, there may be a much more general persuasion of the merits of the policy that has been held in traditional opposition by this eommunitv t'>an has been expected. That, however, is for the future. Immediately the community may view with equanimity any temporary losses that have come from the altogether wise shutting down of the dispensaries during the days of disturbance that are just behind us, even though there should not be an almost certain prospect of recouping in the brisk fade that will come with the reopening of the liquor depots." It occurs to us that if. instead of prophesying an early "recouping" in the trade, The Post would throw itelf whole-heartedly in to the fight to prohibit the sale of liquor in Charleston, much might bo accompi' li'ii. It may b that the law cannot be r'gidlv enforced 11 Charleston 'nit the fight might be more easily won if optimism and a demand for law enforcement rather than a "milk.liiiwlder nolicv" characterized the utterances of Charleston's evening paper. )>OIC40I010MOIOK)IOIOIOIQI01C>IOI010IOIOIOIOIOI010K * ' ? + SHOW YOUR PATRIOTISM. rH We wish to thank The Greenwood Index for the following editorial, which sets forth so well the proper attitude of a community toward its fair. We hope every citizen of Lancaster county will read it and resolve within his heart to show such loyaltj t.o the county as will help himself and inspire others by exhibiting at the fair next week. In this connection The Index says: "It takes a high type of patriotism for a man to make an exhibit at an agricultural fair. The inconvenie ces are many an l the direct re-.um-i are zero in most cases. But there is an indirect return that is profl'able in the highest degree. The evhib'ts are stimulating to others and the exchange of ideas and methods is certainly worth while. "The man who soec'aiises in pnr" bred stock of any kind finds or should And the occasion one of great value. It gives him a go'den opnortun'ty to show what he is doing and the sales made pay him for h?s t'me snd trophic in making the exhibit of his pasture." j TTTF TiAXPASTKT?

" we want to say right here that it all a mistake. There is no set of >ople n the county that is mo'e inircst"d in the up-building of Lanister and Lancaster county than the iM people. They rejoice with their brother in s prosperity and mourn with hint in is loss. And above all they work om six till six, year in and year out. re can not see any reason whv they tould not be given a day off in hlch to visit the fair and we believe iat if the Lancaster mill operators Ill stop and consider this for a few inutes they will agree that we iould have at least one day off in hlch to visit the fair.
