County Fair at West minster lhere was an exhibit that could not fail to impress tho visitors with the wonderful possibilities of our section-the very cream of thc Piedmont. There wore exhibits there thal rivaled anything we have seen nt tho Slate Fair when one lays ?side tho consideration of extent and considers tho prescribed terri tory-one county-as compared to tho assembling of exhibits from over the entire State. Whoa we take into consideration this latter phase of tho situation. Oconee held a fair at "Westminster that far outclassed the State Fair. And why not? Do not the very best things grow and are ?Ot tho very best things made, and do not the very best people live in our own section? Certainly there ls no better section-no bettor people. Wo have never thought enough of ourselves and our county to make tho effort io force comparison with our neighbors. The fair at Westmin ster was a revelation, and we must keep tho ball rolling now that lt has Reen star;ed in motion. Oconee must have tho best county fair in South Carolina. She can and she will. Tile exhibit of the Marett Seed Farm was a wonder-not extensive, just unostentatiously convincing of what can bo done by means of seed selection, weeding out tho inferior and building up-"breeding" if you please only from thc purest and best in agricultural products. There were bags of oats, rye, wheat, corn, colton seed, corn on tho ears and on tho stalks that showed one what pure seed and Intensivo and care ful, thoughtful farming can be made to produce. This seed farm ls of but ci few years In age. but it is many years in advance of anything in tho way of agricultural achievement in this part of the Stato, barring the experiment station at Clemson. We wish that every farmer in Oconee cou 1.1 have seen this exhibit, wit nessed tho almost marvelous results of seed selection, plant breeding, and liavo heard Jamel, L. Carberry talk cn those important subjects, lt would have been worth any man's time and attention. Another exhibit that impressed us very much was that of Charles L. Parker, who manufactures tho West minster mattresses. Mr. Parker is t?o? originator of a feature in mat tress making that is really wondorful in its results. The ordinary mattress is "stuHod" with almost any kind ->: material that will nu the container. No! so With tho "Westminster" mat tress, Mr. Parker conceived tho iden of making cones" of always first class ctotton, iheso cones being made by a process of his Invention that places tho cotton in tho cones willi all the fibre running ono way. This t vos a springiness that one would not think possible with cotton. Take a bunch ul cotton, if you desire to observe results, and wad it up in tho ordinary manner of "stuning" a mat tress, li i t.iko a similar bunch of col . .? that the fibre is as nearly RtrnlgM as you can get it, and wind P lui onion] shape. You will at once : . that the "wad" of cotton ls .inst Iinji nu 1 nothing more- a wad. The cono-shapod cotton will, how over, present an entirely different n pecl, with a soft spring to it that is in ver lest roy Od by uso. No mat tor hov/ hard tho usage given ono of HT .e mo-flUed" mattresses, ?o noon as the pressure is removed from it tho natural resistanco of the calton fibre brings it back to Rs full spring and you have a full, springy mntirosa again, just as though it had never been used. Tho casing for these mai trcssoJ Is P.lled with those "cotton cones," laid in such manner that ono would never suspect that tho case was filled in any other manner than having been filled in tho ordinary way. Mr. Parker makes and sells annually about $1,000 worth of thc "Westminster" mat'.ressos under his prcsont plans and with a limited equipment.* (Re is now- planning to add to his plant so that his produc tion will bo doublo or treble that of tho present during 1923. Tho "West minster" mattress ls, wo believe, far ?superior in tho servico lt will givo to any we have over soon in the way of cotton mattresses. ' lt seems to combine to a marked degree the bet ter qualities of tho felt mattress and others of supposed best types of con struction. Mr. Parker never whole sales his mattresses, lie sells them direct to tho users. Asked as to the reason for this, Mr. Parker stated that if he wholesaled thom the price would be prohibitive, necessitating tho adding of freight charges, hand ling and tho wholesaler's and retail or's profits. By selling direct to tho user he is enabled to sell his mat tresses at practically tho same price as the ordinary product is handed ever to the purchaser. He, however, sells his product at a "delivered" price, placing them in tho homos of tho purchasers with no extra charge. Mr. Parker had several very useful articles besides mattresses in his -x hiblt at tho fair. One of tho things he prides himself on is an invention of his which makes possible the com plete changing of bedding without disturbing tho occupant. This inven tion is used by many hospitals now, and has proven of wonderful benefit where patients who aro critically ill are being cared for. My. Parker is a very interesting talker and never tiros of explaining and demonstrat ing the evident merits of his product. There wore other oxhibits that de serve minuto description, but at this time cannot be touched upon. The community booths of several com munities were most excellent, show ing the resul s of thrift and a little effort to display thom. These and other things too numerous to touch upon at length were creditable alike to tho fair and to the county. ! Only six weeks' time was at the disposal of the fair management and exhibitors after decision was made by Westminster to hold the County Fair, and the exhibition of agricul tural products, beautiful and well kept farm animals, chickens and tur keys wei^t *.o show that Oconeo 's ready at any time lo put on display exhibits that will rival those of the older and rupposedly better sections of our State and our nation. Thc flowers, fruits and canned goods f ali kinds and tho fancy work, gave evidence that our women aro alive to progress and keeping step with the advancements that aro bringing our section to the pinnacle of progressive sections. Great is ?conee! Great was Oco neo's-County Fair in 1 922! Greater it will bo In 19 28-for Westminster has said so, and she is determined that Oconeo's Greater County Fair In 1923 shall be held at Westminster. Wo a^reo with her that It ought to bo held there-and that it will be. Candidato Defeated, Suicides.
