Holiday Trades Day brought many people to Lancaster today and attracted a crowd to the court house, 1 where a meeting had been called to j ! organize a permanent county fair as-1 , soclation. Governor Manning was! one of the speakers today, this being his first appearance here since the campaign of 1914. The governor held the attention of the crowd, which taxed the capacity of the court house. He made a plain, practical talk, full of optimism and good advice to the farmers and business men who had gathered to hear him. He stressed the importance of education i for efficiency, diversification and Christian training in the home. He'l also touched on the importance of < dural credits and warned his hearers 1 to prepare 'for the boll weevil. A i fuller synopsis of Governor Man-i ning's speech cannot ho given today, but will appear in our next issue, as1 will a summary of the earnest ad-, dress of Col. K. J. Watson, state com-j missioner of agriculture, who was the J second speaker. Colonel Watson de-j plored the fact that grain is not be-; ing planted as it should be in South Carolina. He spoke of the fine com-| munity spirit prevailing here and told j of the good results obtained through a county fair organization, expressing! his confidence that the neonle of Lan-I caster would put the proposition i through. j I The stores are filled with eager;' Christmas shoppers. The window 1 displays are most attractive and ' every store Is a busy line of industry. 1 One of the results of the Holiday ' Trades Day meeting Is. the prospect of the early organization of a per-j manent county fair association. After the addresses by Governor Manning ' and Commissioner Watson a goodly;' number of citizens, the majority ofj 1 whom were farmers, remained In the i court house to consider the matter. I R. E. Wylle was called to the chair and Luther Ellison acted as secretary. The meeting was enthusiastic and unanimously in favor of a permanent county fair association. A committee consisting of tho chairman of the meeting, Luther Ellison and Claud N. Sapp were named to appoint suitable committees in each school district to solicit subscriptions to the capital stock In shares of ten dollars each, the committee to report ' at a mass-meeting to be held on the * first Monday In January in the court ' house for the organization of the fair association. The meeting adjourned to reassemble January 3, 1916. 1 WITHDRAWS NAME. 1 I Claud N. Happ Not a Candidate for ' Mayor. Having learned that my name has been announced for mayor.
