The Press and Banner is pretty severe on Justice Clark of the United States Supreme court for his criti cism of the 18th amendment in a speech at the annual dinner of the New York Law school. So, judges may be criticised some times. It will say, though, that this was an "obiter dictum;" but what J the judge saifl was no less influential | +Vo* ?if was an pnpour. I ageroent to bootleggers and all that gang. For our part, we like to see the courts and the laws respected; but there's no divinty that hedges a judge, or a king either.?Newberry Observer. There must be a distinction made between the decisions of the court and speeches of Judges. Due-Weatic&lly Inhibited. Dr. John E. White of Anderson brought home from Atlanta the other day a story that Deacon Hemphill elone can quite fully savor. Having an afternoon in Atlanta free, Dr. White went out for a round on the links, there encountering old friends, Epps Brown, president of the South ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, and John Brice, business manager of the Atlanta Journal. "Glad to see you, gentlemen," Dr. Wfcvf-o "T'vp hppn told that if you see a business man playing golf on Monday it is a sign he didn't play Sunday." "Well, doctor," Epps Brown replied, "I doubt if John or I would play to form on the Sab bath, or feel comfortable on the links that day. Both of us, you see, were educated at Due West."?The State.

Realizing the value and advantage to the farmers and to the County a County Fair, it has occurred to me that it is a great loss to Abbeville County not to have a County Fair. Agriculture is the most noble work of man and it is the foundation of the* prosperity of Abbeville Coun ty. Today, agriculture is going thru a decided change and many people will suffer financial losses by not us ing common sense and sound busi ness judgment in rearranging their farming operations. A County Fair will play an important part in assist ing the farmers to make these changes. The County Fair is also the show winrlnw tn the nrosDeritv of the county. There is no other means by whieh the farm products can be dis played to the very best advantage. I have mentioned the problem to several of the very best business men and farmers of Abbeville County and in every instance, I have met with hearty response and offers of assist ance.. We can have this fair if you so desire and are willing to help put it across. Abbeville County has the material to put on one of the best fairs in South Carolina and by prop er methods of advertisement can be made one of the leading counties in South Carolina. Why not begin on this and have a County Fair to be held in Abbeville County at the County seat during the month of September. In my estimation a county fair, should perform the object for which it was originally planned and that object is to display the farm products at an advantage to the county and should not be a carnival and horse race. Please take this matter into very serious consideration and after you have thought about it, it is probable that we will call a meeting to dis cuss this matter and put the Fair 'through. Wayne G.
