People are always glad ol an excuse to come here. o As we read the President's Thanks-1 ' giving proclamation we are reminded that his re-election is not the least -of our reasons for giving thanks. i o An inducement not to be overlooked is the fact that no admission fee the Pair will he charged, but all -ex':ibits are open to the public free, >of cost. o The good roads of Lancaster; -county, better now than ever before, wili bring to Lancaster this week an -unprecedented crowd, or we have1 missed our guess. o i The selection of Dr. 1). P. Johnson, president of Winthrop College, is president of the new Southern Chautauqua is a very happy choice, the wisdom of which will be demon st rated in his working out of the -splendid idea. The South needs ,! . such an institution as the one proposed and !> . Johnson's leadership will he an invaluable aid in its organisation. His executive ability and his pr jgressiveness are factors which make a success of anything lie uni-alertakes. With 1 ?r. Johnson are asHoclated a number of distinguished educators and professional men who. ' like himself, are interested in the ' development of the South. o We cannot two strongly recommend, for the consideration of our ' readers, two points made by Mr. J. M. Voder in his communication ap- 1 pearinu in this issue. The first is ' that it is the duty cf our people to erMbi* a I the fairs in order to advertise our section. Mr. Yodor puts1 it as a matter of patriotism that we 1 (.show the world what we can do. Mr.;' Voder practices what he preaches by ' -e.xhiting at the country fairs and his 1 exhibits are always most creditable. ' We wish especially to call attention to what he has to say in reference to|( "law enforcement, the greatest of all our needs. Mr. Yoder urges that a officers be assisted in their adminis 4ratien of the law by all good cltl rens 1 l + I THIRD COUNTY FAIR. Lancaster entered yesterday upon I its Third County Fair, an event \ which promises to eclipse all former \ enterprises of its-kind. Good weath- | er. unprecendented prosperity, free i -attractions and an era of good feel- 1 mg are factors which must combine "to make this fair week the best we s have ever had After a year of hard I work, a crop shortage threatened dls- i aster, hut twenty-cents cotton has < brought smiles to the*face of the farnier-?and everybody else for that matter. Then. too. our people ara /ast learning the all-important lek I on of living at home and the feel tig of independence thus engenderet nukes for security, happiness ant irospeiity. After his own efforts a liversillcation the individual fanne will be interested to see how hr leighhor is solving the same prof) em and the mutual exchange of idea vill he stimulating and helDful. I vtll bo good for us all to sop wha bo other follow is doing and ho\ ip is doing it. We will find ou vhat farm products have been growi nost successfully, what has bppn a*1 oniplislipd in the way of homo do uonstration. what breeds of live to'k sopiii to pay best and what th iusv housewife has been doing th >ast year; in a word, wp will reni lie record of our achievements sine he last county fair. We would stress also the amuse neat feature of the fair, for thos vho have toiled faithfully ne.ed rt axation. Fun and frolic have thei egitimate place and we lose nine ?f the joy life holds if we fail to tak in occasional holiday. Let's al uake this a gala week long to be rc tnembered. Let's catch the spiri if play. It is a care-fee spirit an eery infectious. A hearty hand diake and a word of welcome wil [nake the visitor feel at home, royal welcome awaits you here thi ve?'k and jolly good time. o WOODllOW WILSON. We publish elsewhere in this issiu he Thanksgiving proclamation c Preshb nt Wood row Wilson. W liope it will he read carefully. II mints out several things, for whic sve should he thankful, hut there i "ine great blessing that has been b> doved upon us which the Presiden rould not mention even if eonsciou if it. and that is that Providence ha mllcd again to the head of this, th greatest conn try on the globe. Pres dent Wood row Wilson himself. N President. in our history has had s many and varied problems to solv and certainly none other could hav solved them more wisely. It cannot henceforth be claimed, a it has been durine his first term, thti Wood row Wilson is a nnnorit Pros blent, because he received ovt 4ftft,(V00 mote votes than were Rive t > his Republican opponent, a large majority nearly a million mot votes?than were ever east for President heretofore. Narrow-minded Republicans 1 ib Mr. Hughes and Senator Lodge cat not now say that he is a section: President, for he received nearly si times more votes in the North an West than he received in the Soutl The vote shows further that Woo: row Wilson is not a partisan Pros dent because he was given over tw million and a quarter votes front a parties, races, and sexes in evei part of the country. All of thes figures go to prove the fact that Wi son is the people's President. We of the South should especial! ho thankful for him because, uttdt his administration the South is con ing into its own, and this, not hi cause of the fact that Mr. Wilson w: born in tin* South, and is of Soutl crn extraction, but rather hecntn umler his leadership all sections at c;von equal justice, there being wit hitn "no North, no South, no Kas nor West." The broad, catholic spirit <d' tli President finds expression in the fo lowing form his address before delegation of the American Federr tion of Labor: "Nothing alarms America s much as rifts, divisions, the driftin apart of elements among her peoph linn ine ininp we mmni an i strive for is to close up every rif and the only way to do it, so far a T c " see. is to establish justice n< only, but justice with a heart in i justice with a pulse in it. justice wit sympathy in it. Justice can be col srtd forbidding or it can he warm an welcome, and the latter is the onl kind of Justice that Americans out:! lo desire. I do not believe I am di reiving myself when I say I thin that spirit is growing in America, pray God it may continue to grov snd all I have to say is to exho every one whom my voice reach* here or elsewhere to come into th ;ommon movement of humanity." o IIASKKT SIPPKH AT CAMP CRRE On thanksgiving night there wi be a basket supper at Camp ('ret school house. Sale will begin i 7'30 o'clock. All the ladles are kirn y asked to bring baskets. All of tl gentlemen are earnestly request# to bring some of that 20 cents co ton money.
