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 Tuesday and probably Wednesday. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1?15. Come to Lancaster next Friday. + All the forward-looking men of the county will be here. + Your interest in organizing a county fair association is an index to your county loyalty. + There is one moonlight school in Lancaster county and we are thankful for that one But there should be one in every school district. * Do you visit your child's teacher and make her lot easier by words of encouragement? Co-operate with the teacher. She is always glad of such assistance. + As the year is drawing to a close, i let's take stock and see what we have done it: 1 it 15 for the advancement of our io>\n and county. No matter what our accomplishment, whether great or small, let's redouble our efforts next year. The regular .advertiser knows the value of publicity. By making known what he has to sell, he is enabled to dispose of his goods. + Preparedness must be the watchword of the woman who has made all of her Christmas presents and has them ready for mailing with Christmas nearly three weeks ahead. * The merchants have designated Friday as Holiday Trades Day. On that date they will inaugurate a new trade campaign. , + We are not telling you when to shop, but we are advising that you do your Christmas shopping at home,; whether early or late. + If such gratifying results have come front moonlight schools in North Carolina, what might not bo accomplished by similar means in this, her sister state? >|> These long winter evenings afford perhaps the best opportunity of the whole year for the reading of hook worth while. No better investment can bo made than by buying and reading good books. * More than a month ago we were informed that mail boxes would soon be placed for the convenience of the people of Lancaster, but not yet have i they made their appearance in public. Can anybody tell us what has become of them? If you are interested in the South i and its proper development, the Southern Commercial Congress, which meets in Charleston next week, has in store for you a fund of valuable information. We hope Lancaster will he well represented at the congress. + The prices which land brought, at public sale Monday were higher than at any time in the previous history of the county. All the land sold was for partition and division, only one tract being sold under foreclosure. The prices for farm land, which were cash, ranged from $12 to $37 per acre. + The sick, like the poor, we have with us always, but we are making no provision for their treatment. Lancaster county money, spent elsewhere in hospitals goes to enrich other counties and states. Why not offer our people the convenience of having a hospital here at home and help ourselves by keeping hospital fees at home? i ' ft HOLIDAY TliADKS DAY. Another big clay will be celebrat-; (ed in Lancaster this week. Friday,! December 10, has been designated as; Holiday Trades Day, which is to be | made an occasion of decided interest to the people of Lancaster county. It is a very important date for busi- | ness that concerns us all is to be | I transacted. A permanent county fair1 j association will be organized, otlicersl elected and definite plans formulated. by which Lancaster may hold an| nual fairs on a scale not heretofore attempted. We have already, for the past two years, made a creditable start and the two county fairs, I held uncjer circumstances decidedly c unfavorable, demonstratd that one * thing only was lacking?organiza- { tion. The spirit has been there all i right. County priue ?as not lack- 1 : ing. The people of Lancaster, the 1 town as well as the county, showed commendable enterprise, as well as ] ! ingenuity in devising ways and | means of holding a fair without a 1 'fair association and with no build- . j ings at their disposal. Hut a people j , | who will patronize a fair during i I weather such as prevailed last year, i and who will work so whole-hearted-j I ly for a fair under cover of tents as j i the fair was held this year, and be 1 \ successful in both ventures, are a j 1 people who, given organization and | j suitable buildings, are capable of ( making the fair a very great asset in their community life. Lancaster never does things by halves. If we are to have a county' < fair association our people will want one worthy of the name. It must j have capable officers in thorough accord with the proposition. Its com- ( mitteemen must be citizens who ap- ( preciate the possibilities of the proposition. It must also be well flnanced and the stock distributed among those who represent the many varied t Interests of the county. The farmer 1 who lives in the remotest section of j the county should be made to feel as vital an interest In the fair as the s man In town; the man in the office; must feel that the fair is his even as f it is the property of his brother, who! j makes his living out of the ground.! The fair is designed to stimulate us to give the best of which we are sev- "j! orally capable. No matter what sort \ of work we are doing, we are t;> exliibit specimens of that work and by comparison with the work of others we may see wherein we have failed or wherein we have succeeded. I a Then it will mean much to as all to! ! have a common meeting place whore, i all of the people may meet at least once a year to exchange greetings and r enjoy the comradeship of our fol- 1 lows. We cannot here specify the ' others benefits of the fair. Every v thoughtful mind can suggest other > j ways in which the fair helps in the I: ! development of the county. We are ' to be given an opportunity of or- ^ 1 ganizing a fair association and it goes without saying that it will be r I a success. Let every good citizen > 1 have a part in the organization. After T the meeting there will he ample time for shopping. And the merchants | are offering unusually good values ' for Friday. Don't fail to come to " Lancaster that day. e + c THE SPEAKERS FRIDAY. ! f '- -j IQtCflCIOICICIOtOtCHOIOtOl! ' The people of I nncaster county v ill i :> given an opportunity o." hearing Governor Manning. who will bo one of the speakers that day. This ill be Mr. Mannings nr-t smwip. - anoe hero since he b< -anr. governor and lie will he accorded a rousing welcome. The governor has had r many difficult problems to handle during the first year of his admin- t istration. He has devoted himself 1 whole-heartedly to the task, with pa-i i Uence, courage and determination. *v And right well is he administering;? his high office. Lancaster gave Mr. Manning a good majority in the pri-1 s mariea in 1914. He has many warm J! personal friends in this county and ? I hosts of admirers. It is not enough > to have helped elect him; we want to assure him of our sympathetic sup'port. Lancastrians will avail them-, j selves Friday of the opportunity of 1 welcoming our chief executive. The other speaker. Col. E. J. Wat-j ? i son Is always acceptable to Lancaster, ; audiences. He has been with us per-1 r haps oftener than any other man in I i public life for our people love to hear f 1 him and he is Invited often. On each appearence here, he brings us a help-1 ( fill message. The truth he has felt1 in duty bound to tell us has some' times hurt but It has at the same | J | time quickened us to action. He is j i the kind of friend it is good for us j ] i to have and his advice never falls on . I deaf ears. i ? ? k Lancaster Is too progressive to j v neglect go important a matter as the j Jj < building of a hospital. Let this be I our very next undertaking.
