" Bet's all go to the Lancastf fair," is the good advice of The Kei shaw Era. And they are all her Brother Hamel, attending their coin ty fair, which is a source of pride t everyone. ,f. . . The window displays of the entei prising Lancaster merchants woul do credit to a city several times ti size of Lancaster. They are artist1 and original and give Main street festive appearance. tf you haven't good breeds of hog now is the time to buy. There ai now several varieties of the best hof in the county, and those who hat them will sell pigs much cheapf than you could order them from ou side the state. The county fair this year lias sut ceeded beyond expectations, in poii of numbers as well as in exhibits, bi tiy the time of the next annual fair \v must have a county fair associatio well organized, procure suitahi grounds and erect buildings thereoi At the noon hour today, the tw Main street blocks between Arch an Dunlap. were the scene of som splendid driving, men's singles an ladies' singles.

Kvening Herald for the followin kind words, concerning us and th fa'r: "The Lancaster countw fair i in progress this week, and while th weather is somewhat cool, it seem that otherwise It is gong to prove f? vorable throughout the week, bad weather Is the worst thing a fal ever encounters, Lancaster is favoi d In this particular.

B * WIVKK AT TIIK FAIR. * i?r In order that those who work six IT _ full days out of every week to give I you the news, may enjoy a half holiday, we are not trying to '1 our readers today of the many splendid features of the fair. Instead we are going to press early in order that we may visit the fair and describe it in detail later. We have seen just enough to warrant our saving it is a success, the climax of which will be reached today, when hundreds of children, their parents and teachers as well as many other good friends of educatioon have gathered here to v> . v participate in theenjoyment of = "School Day." the "big day" of the fair. The exhibits are all very good and thoroughly representative. The finest eollection of grains, the daintiest embroidery, as well as chickens, pantry products, live stock and fine arts afford every visitor variety in plenty. We haven't seen all but we will see it today along with the.crowd, which promises to be a big. jolly one. So pardon all deficiencies and omissions today, remembering please, as you read, that we are seeing the fair. _ "HAKMIiKSS, BIT l*SKI,KSS." __ The Columbia State, in commenting on woman suffrage, says it is __ "harmless, bu useless." It believes that a far more important issue confonting the people of South Carolina is whether the laws against crime shall be enforced. We agree that law enforcement is the one supreme issue overshadowing all others. We reproduce what The State so well says and endorse every word of it: "We observe renewed activity on the part of a number of valued correspondents in relation to woman suffrage. 3t "lit is harmless. "There is neither danger nor promise of woman suffrage in South Carolint for a number of years to come. "It is harmless but useless to talk about woman suffrage in a state where the one great issue of immediis ate interest is whether or not it shall be a state for herd-working. peaceloving. self-respecting men and women to live ni.

Cor many many years, pulpit o and press and some of the loaders of ,r public op'nion have striven and t struggled to arouse our people to the ? cese'y of putting down murder.

"In ancient Home politicians led their armed minions to the voting place and dispersed or slew their opi ponents.

"Let us determine the real issue .. and leave woman suffrage alone until we know whether or not there is a K civilization in South Carolina that e would protect a woman armed with s the ballot in using It." e s We are glad to note in the last i- issue of The Kershaw Era thxt it is ,s altogether probable that our enteric prising and progressive neighbor will - hold a fair next year. In reference r to the matter The Era says: "Now - you just watch for a fair at Kershaw r next fall.

C(' irH n OK (JURAT 1MPOKTANCK. ?! h We are publishing in this issue at article from The Columbia State or the matter of fertilization of the soil which we hope every farmer in Lan caster county will read. The price o commercial fertilizers has gone s< muu inai 11 win not De prontatue t< use them, but it is within the powe of every farmer if he will commpnci in time to make his own fertilizer This will be more important for th< next year's crop than it was for thi crop of this year, owing to the fac that the commercial fertilizers put ii the ground last year had not all beei ' exhausted and was available for thi year's crop. Such will not be tin case for the incoming year. Thi only remedy is to sow cover crops such as rye. barley and clover an; turn them under in the spring. Thei the manure from the stock on th? farm should be raked up and kep under cover. But there should be n< further delay in the planting of tin cover crops, for the freezes of wintei will soon be on and these crop should be well up before ahat time In this connection The State com ments as follws: "It is manifestly of first import ance that this information be p'acei in he hands of the farmers, if it is t< have value, without delay. If thi crops of rye, oats and wheat are to hi sown there is no time to lose. Th? corps of farm demonstration workeri and other agricultural agencies wii no doubt exert themselves energeti rally to inform the farmers about tin most effective way of meeting tin new problem presented by fhe scar c'tv and high prices of potash, sul phuric acid and other fertilizing ma terials. but they should have the as sistance of the press. Every news paper in the state, daily or weealy that promptly publishes the letter 01 Mr. f'oker will perform a service t* the farmers who read it. By intelli gent planning and preparation it h certain that cotton can be producer profitably next year, despite the ab sence of some of the fertilizers here tofore regarded indispensable, but ir a few weeks the time of planning anc preparteion will have passed." hANCASTKIl 12, WAXIIAWO.

Once there was a church member in Danville who had made money by speculating in cotton. His brethren in the church went so far as to warn him that it would be an offence to the ' Lord for him to give to the church any of the money he had made by gambling in cotton. He asked his br< tlinn if money made in his tobacco deals would lie acceptable, and as most of the brethren were themselves tobaceo dealers, they replied, ' naturally, that the tobacco-earned ' money was perfectly clean and, therefore acceptable. Hut the speculator ' gave nothing, and when called upon ' Kir an explanation said that he had carelessly mixed the tobacco money and the cotton money, so that he did not know which was church-going money and which "speculative" and lie feared to take the risk.
