The Tri-County Fair (Anderson, Oconee, Picken*,) is again bein? agi tated, and v e jope thal it will take more definite s. p .his fall. "li looks liko Picketts county will Have a fair at Easley next fail," says the Picken? Sentinel. "Why not An derson and Oconee counties join us al Baslej and start tho Tri-County Fair?" The Anderson Mail says: "We of .Anderson are giving aid and encour agement to Pendleton this year. The local fair at Pendleton last fall is said to have been one of the best ever held In the Slate. We call upon Oconee and Plckens to co-operate with Pendleton, and next year Easley or Seneca or Westminster may be the favored city." If the dates of the fairs of our ulster counties do not conflict (and there is ample limo for perfecting arrangements so that they will not do so), why not have a Tri-County Fair Committee from each of the throe counties to meet at Easley and Pendleton and perfect arrangements for the Tri-County Fair for 1914? Anderson and Plckens counties al ready have their arrangements under i way, and it may not now be practical to consolidate the two fairs this fall, Hut certainly the haft time to pro mote the Tri-County Fair proposition would be at the two fairs to be held, or at a joint fair for Anderson and Plckens counties In tho fall of 1913. There is nothing liko "striking while the iron is hot." Oconee once conducted a high class fair, and it ls no Idle boast for us to say that Oconeo's co:uni..?n lon" tc u Tri Cont.;> Fair would be a yerj ma terial addition, Atty one of Un three counties can have a good fair the .t4i reo a?unttes co*operatiiig maa u u.1 i ono of the best exhlbtlons ever ' placed before the public of our State. ? The commercial bodies of the . towns of the three counties can take | lip no better proposition to push than the Tri-County Fair. .lack Johnson, the ne. ro pugilist, 1 "lias gone to Paris and announces that, ile will henceforth make his home there.

"A summer resort on Stump House mountain," says tho Anderson Mail, "would be great-with an electric elevator down shaft No. 1 and a . rathskeller In the Mine Ridge tun- | nel."

Farmers of South Carolina owe much to E. W. Dabbs, president of the State Farmers' Union. Ho resided in the Good Will sec tion of Similor county and unques tionably exemplifies "peace upon earth, good will to men." Ho has nearly all of his life given largely of his time ami talents towards helping to better tho conditions of his fel lowmen. ;HH1 particularly of Iiis bro ther farmers. As a successful and Intelligent far mer he has been prominently and usefully Identified with tho tanners' movements, and has tough; down politics in farmers' alliances for all he was worth. As a very useful, en thusiastic and courteous member of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Dabbs has done much towards bringing about the present "pull to gether" and friendly co-operation which exists Ix tween Sumter city and Sumter comity. Ho and Mrs. Dabbs have Interest ed themselves greatly and given freely ol' their time in the formation of girls' tomato clubs and boys' corn clubs. Mr. Dabbs, knowing by per sonal domestic experience in tho rais ing of a number ol bright and pretty girls and boys, and Mrs. Dab' ? being a great friend of everybody-boya and girls in particular-realize that we havo just got to have an extra number of men and women to har vest, cure, can and pickle and pre servo the millions of cara of corn, tons of fruits, vegetables and other products of tho soil, brought about hy increased yield per acre, and tiley have wisely offered and awarded a gold and silver medal for tho first and second best healthy babies, who are to be record smashers in the great and numerous "bumper better baby crop" record Sumter county ls going to make in a few years, or every year from this timo on. No man in South Carolina has done more towards uniting the farm ers of this State for their best inter ests, and at the same time pointed out more clearly that the city and country must pull together, their in terests being inseparable at all times. As a churchman, Sunday school worker, a social welfare worker and moral leader he stands second to no man, nccordlng to tho opportunities presented to him. Mr. Dabbs ia a man of immense value to hia county and State. Mr. Dabbs grows "bumper" cropa of corn, cotton, oats, i>otatoes, chick ens, and other farm producta. Notes from Coneross.

Government Armor Plate Factory Suggested-Prices Excessive. Washington, July 14.-Naval ox ports' figures showing that a govern ment armor plate factory, costing $8,160.000, would save $140 a ton on armor, or more than a million dollars net a year, were submitted to Congress to-day by Secretary Dan iels. The secretary's report was sent in response to a Senate resolution, and supplemented previous state ments Issued by him advocating a government, owned armor plant. Millions can be saved either by op erating a government plant, or by*| compiling competition among the privato manufacturers, Mr. Daniels declared. Therefore he asked Con gress to make a full, thorough and early investigation of tho cost of an armor plate factory and the cost of manufacturing armor plate In facto ries owned by concerns dependent upon government patronage.
