Thex Abbeville Fair which was advertised for the 18,19, and 20, was continued thru the twenty-first on account of the bad weather of the first part of the week. TKoVojr Tfts a success. Every officer of the organization feels encouraged and they are now beginning to talk of a fair * ^ for 1911. And now is the time to begin, too! The races were entertaining, the track in splendid order, and the grand stand full to overflowing. There is something about a horse race that is extremely exciting. It must be the same element in a horse race as that in a dog fight that excites curiosity. And Dr. John Brown says that the reason a dog fight is exciting is that It is an example of intense energy in action and that is the case in a horse race. rTTU" fKolr norf fn rflrfirf. and J.UU ouimtuo urn wtvu w entertain the Fair-goers. Out of all the races run not a single accident occured. One would not have thought that there were so many kinds of chickens in the county. The chicken exhibit shows that beyond a doubt more attention is being paid to fine chickens than at any time in the history* of the County. The exhibits were good. The good women, in order to take the prize for best pantry outfit, had exhibits that would churn the pepsin in a dyspepsic, such arrays of good things to eat cannot be found anywhere outside the pantries of our good women. The lists of exhibits was a long one and there were few blanks. In calculating the good accomplished to a oommunity by holding such a Fair many things are to be taken into consideration. Among these are: The incentive we get to equal or surpass the accomplishments of our neighbor; the proof of what can be done by diligent application; the wholesome relaxation which it offers those who attend; the human touch; the advertisement to the city and community. Attention Farmers' UnionMr. J. B. O'Neall Holloway, now lecturing In the interest of the State Farmer's Union requests us to say that he cancelled his appointments for Abbeville County, for the present, out of deference to the Court which was in session last week and the County fair which lasted the entire week. He will make appointments for Abbeville later, when farmers are not so busy gathering their crops and there are no other conflicting meetings. Mr. Holloway asks that we express his regrets that the meetings may not be held now but he feels sure that better work can be done at a later period. If its wedding presents you want G. A.

This would lift a great burden off of the County Superintendents shoulders and at the same time it would insure competent men for the important office. In several towns in Abbeville County, including Abbeville City, the trustees are elected by the people, and it only remains to change the respective times of elections to correspond to that of the general election. Throughout the County the trustees are appointed by the County Board of Education. After all the Board must appoint on the recommendations of others in certain localities, for in many instances the Board is not/ sufficiently well acquainted with the people to know just who will make the best officers. If the matter Is left to the people themselves they are very likoly to put the right man in the right place. Again, it is frequently the case that a good man refuses to act when appointed by the County uoara; wnereas If he were elected by men and neighbors in his own school district he would hardly refuse. The obligation would on this account assume larger proportions and his duty in the premises much clearer than when appointed by a Board. The time for electing trustees for the Abbeville City Schools falls on Christmas week. This is not an opportune time to attend to this important matter. If the election were held at the time the other elections are held a fuller vote and a wider interest would be the result. As a matter of fact very little interest has ever been taken in these school elections owing to the Inopportune time at which they have been held. Let the Abbeville delegation look into this matter and ta.ke some action in regard to it at the coming session of the Legislature. Old World Singers fo come to Abbeville.

M. Morgan, of the Agricultural Department, now doing demonstration work in this State. Mr. Morgan is in no wise interested in the sale of these mares, except as an expert to introduce higher classed horses into our farmers and to increase stock raising. There are ten million dollars sent out of South Carolina annually for horses and ten million more sent for meats, when this State could practically supply itself in DOtn UI lUttbt) JJluuuuio. While it would bo especially gratifying for every progressive farmer in the county to have one or mpre good brood mares and high grade hogs, this probably will not be realized for some years. Mr. Morgan suggests that the County Supervisors of the ! State buy one or more of these or other high grade mares and that they also buy a stallion for public service. This would undoubtedly do much for building up and ] improving the stock industry of the State:, and could be done at a profit. Even if the county sustained some little direct loss, ] the advantages accruing to the individual ' citizen would so far outweigh' this loss in ' the general receiving, that it should not ] be considered. The suggestion is a good one and we trust that our own Supervisor will give it \ immediate consideration. i Billy Bradley Takes Blue Ribbon. 1 Among the specimens of free hand draw- ' ing exhibited at the Fair here last week, , were two sketches, one with pen and one j with pencil, by Billy Bradley, a boy twelve years old. The best of the two was exe- : cuted by him in about ten or fifteen minutes. It was of the Gibson type; und though ho has never taken a lesson, the 1 picture in many respscts would do credit j to a long practiced artist, of mature years.
