FHE GREATER STATE FAIR FOR 19li e One Occasion and Pla::e fcr 1veryone to Meet. . ELAIORATE PLANS MADE The R-ilroads Offer Special Rates. Fine Attractions. Everything from I.e Shows to Aeroplane Flights. roirhia. October 11th. Special: The next event of State-wide import ztce is the State Fair, whichi is to be he(ld in Columbia, beginning October Soth and ending November 3rd. For more than forty years-two generations-this has been the one event n which all the people of the -,,,tate haN e joined. In previous years it has not been so much the exhihits that have attracted the people from t very part of the State as it has been the community of interests, so to k speak. of the people of this State. There has been a general desire on the part of the peopl- in one part of Carolina to meet and know more oi the people in other sections and that is why they have come to the State Fair. Families have s -attered and more people can be me: in Columbia during the State Fair than any one other place in the same time and that is the primary cause of the growing success of the State Fair. As the State has prospered so has the Fair in its exhibits. Year by year better cattle and better stock have come into South Carolina and it is at the State Fair that much of this enthusiam is spread by the exhibition and sale of that which is best in cattle, stock, poultry and labor saving machinery. President J. Arthur Banks. a suc cessful business man from St. Mat thews, who is now President of the Association, and Secretary J. M. Can tey are emphasizing these features of the exhibits and the applications for space already indicate all the exhibits that can be housed will be in Colum bia. The Fair Association has recently bought a large steel frame structure, which it is hoped will be in readiness for use for the approaching Fair. For those who like racing there will !e fine horse races and to keep in thorough touch with the modern pace fine automobile races will be run. on two days of the week there will be fine football games; *n Thursday of Fair Week the Carolina-Clemson game is scheduled. Special attractions will be provided at the State Fair each might of Fair Week. President Banks has contracted to have a modern aeroplane make two flights each day and this ought to be a great attraction for those who have not yet seen this modern wonder. The railroads being in thorough ae cord with the ideas and purposes of the State Fair have announced espe cially low rates for the touand trip from all points, and those who do not come to Columbia for the State Fair to catch the political pulse, or to see their cousins or sweethearts will have ample to see in the 1911 exhibits that will be provided, and which promise to be finer and more worth studying than ever before. The dates of the State Fair are October 30th to and inelusive of No. vember 3rd. 'CELEBRATED GOLDEN WEDDING. Capt. and Mrs. W. E. Clary, of Saluda, Eave Been Married Fifty Golden Years. -Saluda, Oct. 11.-Fifty years ago Capt. W. E. Olary of this county, and Miss Cornelia S. Gilder, of Newberry, county, were happily married at the home of the bride. Yesterday, they celebrated their golden wedding .in the home near the birthplace of Mr. Clary, in which they have lived and loved for half a century. To this cottple have been born six son and six daughters, all of whom, except two so'ns who are In a distgnt State, were present yesterday. At 11 o'clock the doors of the old Clary home, situated on a high promi nence overlooking Saluda river and amid a grove of ancient oaks, were thrown open for the receptioni of guests. The spacious hallway and parlors were appropriately -decorated in. yellow and green. The guests filed in tb the "airs of the long ago," the music rendered by the younger Clary EOns, aCcompanied On the piano by one of their sisters. One of the vio lins used was the property of Capt. AClary when a young man, while the piano was the same that Mrs. Clary used in the long ago. The Mt. Enon band honored the occasion with its presence. The guests were reecived by Mrs. Pauline Strother, of Newberry, while Miss Sallie Bouknight presided at the punch bowl. The dinner was served .with that informality which charac terized the customs of ant a-bellumr days. Of the 80 persons who witnessed the *marriage of this couple 50 years ago only seven now survive. One of these, John S. Busch, now living near Tren ton, was present yesterday and none enjoyed the day more than he. Among the presents was a gold headed cane presented to Capt. Clary 'by W. C. Clarv, his oldest son, and a goldI brooch fcr Mrs. Clary from the oldest daughter. The aged couple were literally showered with golden coins. Among those present, beside the children and grandchildren, were: Mr. and Mrs. Pink Bouknight, Miss Sallie Bouknight, Dr. and Mrs. James K. Gildr, of Newberry: Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Spearman, of Newberry; John S. Busch, of Trenton; MNrs. Fannie Cole man, Mr. and MIrs. .1. A. Coleman, Miss Demmie Coleman, M1rs. H. H. Ellis, MArs. Pauline Srother, MNr. and M1rs. J. E. Smith, Mr. and 'Mrs. T. B.: Sanders, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Floyd,. and MIrs. Minnie Wallace. Several ex-slaves of the Clary fam ily were present, and the occasion: brought vividly to their memory "the kind of weddings that were had in the good old days," as one of them ex pressed it. Capt. Clary is now in his 72nd year, while the bride of these 50 years is just 6S. Both are enjoying excellent health, and in leaving the guests all wished for them many more happy years of life. FARMERS' UNION CHANGE. Mr. Keller Succeeds Mr. Holloway as State Organizer. Columbia, Oct. 10.-The regular' quarterly meeting of the State exe cutiVe committee of the Farmers' un ion was held yesterday in the office of the State ,secretary. Much routine business was transacted. J. B. O'Neall Holloway resigned the position of State organizer and B. F. Keller, for merly of Cameron and now of Spar tanburg, was elected is Ills successor. Mr. Keller will commence work im mediately. Mr. Holloway will make formal application for the position of superintendent of education of New berry county, upon the resignation of J. S. Wheeler, the incumbent. "Caprice of the Majority." Orangeburg Times and Democrat. It is surprising to an old fashioned; Democratic newspaper like The Times and Democrat, which TeIieves in the people and is willing to trust them with all power, to hear newspapers claiming to be Democratic and pro 1fessing to believe in a republican form of government like we have, talk of the "caprice of the majority" and of' I the people being a mob. Such news papers, if they would confess it, be-' lieve more strongly in a monarchal government, in which the people have but little part, and where the "ca price of the majority" Is not tolerat ed, than they do in a republican gov ernment such as we have in , this glorious land of ours. There has been considerable discus sion of the "Initiative, referendum and recall" of late. These proposed reforms would enlarge the powers -of the people very mater'ially and yet they are fought by men who have been call ed -to high station by the people. Gov ernor Manin, of Virginia, recently said he would decline to hold office under a system that allowed the recall of officials. He went on to say "it would reduce the officeholder to the svei of a puppet. It would make him a reed. swayed in the wind by every breath of public prejudice. Such a position1 would be unsupportable, and if It ever comes to pass in my State I shall re tire- fromn politics. I,.desire to have nothing to do with a system." The Anderson Mail, which we be lieve claims to be a Democratic news paper and a believer in a republican form of government, gives its endorse ment to what Goy. Mann says and pronounces it sound doctri- 3. The Newberry Herald and News, another supposed Democratic newspaper and a believer in our republican form of government, endorses .what Gov'. Mann says as well as what the Mail says about it, and says "this sounds very muich like Goy. Mann niad been read ing The Herald and News," and sneer ingly goes on to say, "of course, it is good Democratic doctrine, All this stuff about what we call recall of judges is the worst kind of political rot." The Times and Democrat does not agree with the Mail that it is sound doctrine to deny the people the right to recall a judge or any other official that fails to do.his duty, nor with The Herald and News that " all this stuff about what we call recall of judges is the worst kind of political rot." if the people have sense enough to elect. governors, congressmen, senators and other officials of high and low degree, they surely have .sense enough to sus tain officials when they do right or recall them when they do wrong. So far as we are concerned we would rather trust the "caprice of the ma jority" than the "caprice of one man," whether he be a judge or some other official. A "caprice of the majority" may have elected Gov. Blease to the high est office in South Carolina, but The Herald and NEWS would hardly claim for that reason that the people can not be trusted to exercise political au thority over all officials. Neither would The Times and Democrat. The fact that the people did not do in that case what The Time3 and Democrat would have done, is no evidence that the people did not do as well as the The ] Old Court House.
