Wednesday, October 23.1907. | 1 Thursday we took a day. off to at- " tend the Tri-Counfcy Fair at Batesborg. On our arrival we were in the hands of our friend Col. John Bell Towill, whom we accompanied to his neat and comfortable home, where we' were again met by his very pleasant ^. and amiable wife and made to feel as if we were truly in our own home by Mrs. Towill; who is a highly cultured and refined lady. Adjutant and In? spec tor General Boyd was also a T guest of Col. Towill, whom we were I pleased to have met and enjoy his jovial and pleasant company. After fi a delightful breakfast we strolled down town, among the live and clever businessmen, mixing business with VtlflUHIM. a ! Later we took in the Fair and most If say, were agreeably surprised to find the grounds with ample buildings, u stalls, sheds, Ac., for a first class Fair, all new and conveniently ar- n ranged. The exhibits of stock were fine, but the other exhibits'did hot _ seem to have received the attention . 7 that they should have had by the people, who might have displayed more pride in this (their) enterprise. Though what was On show was good, j? and we must say, all and all, consid/? ering time, &c., the officials certainly deserve credit and it is honestly hoped that the citizens of the Tri-Counties will hereafter take more interest in the exhibits of their products, etc. Though wo are told Lexington did her share at this Fair. Let Aiken and Saluda show up. The attendance was all that could have been expected on Wednesday a and Thursday> and the receipts were . pleasing toi tne very efficient officials If of the associatioD. We letft delighted with our visit, if having-mingled with these good people and were made to feel good our- 1< selves. There are about 70G convicts in the * State penitentiary including 80 in the juvenile reformatory in this county. - About one third of the prisoners are I need on the farms, the remainder in I the hosery mills or as helpers at the I prison. ^BSSt? E Under the management or tne superintendent, Oapt. D. J. Griffith, during the past eight years, the institu- X ^ tion has, not only been self-sustaining, but out of its income there have been = erected new administration and prison buildings costing $38,000. . I There has also been built a modern B tuberculosis hospital costing $15,000 I and there baa been an expenditure of $87,0001 in improving the old farms and ; purchasing new farming lands for the penitentiary. In addition to these amounts there has been paid into the State treasury a surplus of $70,000. The penitentiary also furnishes Clem. son college with about 33 convicts per j year and feeds and clothes these and 1 the convicts are sometimes loaned to I institutions by act of legislature for I other special purposes. I =*= . I I-' The Columbia I>aily Record of date Oct. 14 says: "Some people say pro- fl hibition won't prohibit. No; it won't wholly. Nor does the law against murder or theft. So the same objection that is ur$ed against the one may be urged against the other; but it would be a crime against society to repeal the laws against murder and theft because they don't wnoiiy prohibit." a W ' Yes it may not totaly prohibit, but B* it must give satisfaction, for those : ' counties having adopted prohibition C would never vote for the sale of liquor kagain. J As we go to press there is certainly ]" a good jolly crowd of persons on the ]] Fair grounds. The exhibits in the ^ various departments are full and per- \ haps larger than ever before. There are abont two thousand enteries, and indications ;are that the attendance Q will far exceed in number any hereto- v fore on the grounds. Visitors are C here from all parts of the county ahd many of Columbia's prominent men and ladies are added to the merry crowd. Shows and other amusements with music by the Irene Brass Band r (with the fine exhibits make every- v x * thing pleasing to the visitors and the f management of the fair. vv". ====== Everything points to a live time in ( Columbia next week during the State Fair. We look to see a larger crowd than ever attended a Fair there. The -r circus on Saturday will hold the crowd 1 until that date. The street shows and music at night and other amusements .

What about freeing Congaree and Broad river bridges? The Columbia dailies and the Dispatch have certainly made it apparent why these i bridges should be free, and at one I / time we thought that proper steps I would be taken to work out the I scheme successfully^ and now, while I " ?1- Kaon rlnno I I16W8pd|^Cr W KJi H llflrO IL/WJU UVUV shall those interested and in charge of this good work, stop just here?
