The Press and Banner. Wr Jnesday, Nov. 2, 1910. [ What became of the Monk- ( I went to the Abbeville Fair ? Monks, Venders and Beasts were there, j _The Monkey he got loose And over the trees trampoozed ] And what became of the monk, the monk, ( the monk, the monk. The side show was the best of all, the show where the monks escaped from their < cages and took to tall timber. On last Sunday morning under a serene sun and pleasant atmosphere the erstwhile ( Carnival was about to hie away to Union J trhon cnmo oArolftas PArptakpr allowed SeV- , eral siamese apes to escape. The serenity i of the Sunday was at once cracked, frac- ' tnred, and broken. A live monkey loping 1 around on the Geography about the Southern 'Depot was a unique sight. 1 The monkeys took to the oaks and were J soon in their element. Colored boys climb- i ed after the siamese and like Uncle Remus- I es bucket, when one went up the other j came down. Up went the darkey and down came the moukey, but only to go up an- | other tree, finally the old siamese that was ' hardest to catch took the road toward ; Long's ginnery with a howling mob after ' him including boys, dogs, men, women, and children. There is no telling where the J procession would have stopped had it not been met by an individual coming the oth- < er way. On meeting this man Mr. monk tried to climb a telegraph pole but he had ( become too civilized for tha job and was , caught. ! State Fair- 1 The State Fair this year promises to excel any of its 42 predecessors. The < Fairopens on the 31st. of October and continues an weeK. rTe?iuem uuuu vx. i Mobley has met with great success in ( securing particularly fine exhibits. Commissioner Watson has arranged an ex- ( ceptionally interesting exhibit for the State. The corps of Ciemson Cadets will be in Columbia for the Fair six hundred ; strong. All classes of exhibits promise better and higher grade displays. The grounds will be open at night. Sec- i retary Efird has a splendid lot of Midway attractions for the grounds. There < will be a great football game on Wed- | nesday, Davidson and Charleston College meet, and on Thursday the University of South Carolina and Ciemson struggle on i the gridiron. Secretary of Agriculture, i James Wilson has been invited to address < the farmers of the State on Friday and i will likely be here. i The horse races promise to be fine i and many entries have already been < made. On Saturday there will be especial automobile races. The Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, f traveling men and other organizations < have arranged to have re-unions and I meetings during Fair week. < Especially reduced rates have been < nffAr^ri hv all the railroads for visitors attending the Fair. It is well to make i your plans remembering: that the State Fair is from October 81, to November!, i at Columbia. i i The Ten Cent Oleomargarine Tax. < Why did the Congress of the United ' States enact the present oleomargarine law which provides for an internal revenue tax of ten cents per pound on artificially colored oleomargarine? Was it to permit the butter producers of the ; country to exact a high price for butter as has been claimed? To make such a jlaim is a pretty serious indictment of our federal law making body. Of course butter is higher in price than it was ten years ago but so are other necessities of life. The percentage of oleomargarine ; now being put upon the market bears a higher ratio to the amount of butter con- I sumed than it did ten years ago. This j coupled with the fact that less than three per cent of the oleomargarine sold is taxed at ten cents per pound proves that the oleomargarine law has absolutely nothiug to do with the price of butter. Congress enacted this law to prevent fraud in the sale of oleomargarine. The law was never Intended to prevent the honest sale of oleomargarine or to enhance the interests of the butter producers of the country, but rather to protect the one against fraud in the purchase of butter or oleomargarine and the other against fraudulent competition. Congress intended to compel the sale of oleomargarine in its natural color (which is white or nearly so) instead of in the natural color of butter (which is yellow). Congress at the same time reduced the former tax of two cents per pdund on oleomargarine to one-fourth of a cent per pouna when the product is not artificially colored to look like butter. Congress used its taxing power to prevent fraud In the sale of oleomargarine because it had no other effective means of accomplishing that result. When oleomargarine is put upon the market in its natural color, thus making it impossible to commit fraud, the tax is one ana threefourths cents less per pound than under any previous oleomargarine law. The butter producers of the country are benefitted by oleomargarine legislation only in so far as the integrity of the dairy industry is sustained-a benefit which is shared by every other citizen. It is a most important branch of agriculture and it Is quite as essential to prevent the destruction of an agricultural industry by fraud as it is to prevent the destruction of our banking industry or any of the other industries in which every good citizen is interested.
