Jl* g$mli Mil pars I Entered at the Postoffice V*w#?rry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, October 18, 1912. K== ? ~ The State fair will be lieli in Columbia the week beginning October 28. This is always something in the nature of an annual reunion for the people. of South Carolina, and the rai'roads always operate schedules in such a way that everybody can go and spend at least one day at this great reunion of South Carolinians. The primary elections in this State I now being all over, we hope the people may be able to sortie down *o business. The national contest is not close enough in South Carolina to disturb business. Of course everybody who is entitled to vote is practically obliged to support the nominee . thp: nnrtv and this is alwavs done with good gracc and with the understanding that our primary election is really the election in South Carolina. However, this should not keep the people from voting in the general election, and unless more interest is taken in voting for the nominees in the general elction, and for the- national ticket, it may be possible sometime for some other party to come in and carry the State. Let every Democrat look up his registration ticket and vote November 5. There is 'need for more money for the 1 Jinmnoi cm fund Thic 1110 il.fi V IT HQUil VI 4. A V? . * ?w ? ? is to be raised by voluntary contribu- ( tions from the people of the United ! States who are interested in the suc( cess of the Democratic party. South . Carolina, up to this time, has contri- < buted $11,000.00, which, of course, is ! a very small part of the fund neces- ( eary for the proper conduct of the < campaign. Any funds that are to be | contributed 9hould be contributed j speedily, because it is only a short 1 time until the election. ] 9 i If we could reach the ear of the national committee, in charge of the dis- < tribution of this fund, or rather the ! expenditure of it. wei would like to ; suggest that it is a waste of money to be sending campaign literature in '' - -' ' favor of Woodrow Wilson into South , Carolina. We have known of persons ] who have received as many as two or j three letters at one time, containing j literature in regard to the Democratic 1 nominee. It costs money to have this J literature printed, and money to buy ; the postage stamps; and it is absolute- I * ! ly unecessary to send any such literature into South Carolina, as there is ] no doubt that South Carolina will vote for the Democratic nominee. A3IESDMESTS TO BE VOTED 0>. There are several amendments to the constitution submitted to the voters in the general election on November 5. Most of these are of a local nature and affect only the communities asking for the amendments. One, however, pertaining to a bond issue of $1,000,000 for the development of the new hospital for the insane, is of very great importance to the people of the State, and we are sure if proparlTT nnHorctrtfid will hp VOted. V/i ij UiJUVi u vwu ?* W - ? The State has undertaken the development of a new asylum, and under resolutions of three legislatures has ^ "been carrying on this work by borrowing from the sinking fund. This money will have to be returned to the State in January, when the bonds become due, and unless the bond issue is approved, the tax levy will have to be increased in order to pay back the money already used. If the work is to be continued, a special levy, will have to be made for the purpose. It would be a very great lose to the State to stop the work at this stage, and besides it is absolutely necessary to increase the facilities for caring for the i2isane. Under the resolution providing for one issue, the property now owned by the I Stale in the city of Columbia, contain-j ing -ome M7." acres, is to be pi- dged j fo the paym.nt of the bonds, and it j is contemplated that the legislature! will j.r v-'ce for ilie sale of t.his prope::v a: :c recive ih^ best results! I * I I IBMIIIMMH miM-LH from such sale. It is estimated by those in position to know that if the property in Columbia is judicially handled the State will be able to realize more than a million dollars for it. If it does this, of course that money would take care of the bonds and also the development of the new asylum. As we understand^ the policy of the O+o+Q frt orrar^nallv onri PVATitiuTIv O UO. t ^ ID uu Ui*vt vt remove the entire asylum from the city of Columbia to the new location, six miles from Columbia. The State has already cleared 2,200 acres of land and the location is ideal for an institution of this kind. There will be plenty of land to raise sufficient supplies to feed the inmates of the institution and also retain sufficient timber to provide for the building of the several colonies. The voting of the bonds means simply the saving of an additional tax and providing at the. same time for the continued development of the new asylum. Keiusmg 10 vute me bonds would mean a discontinuance of the work, or an increase in the State levy. POULTRY SHOW IS TO BE HIGH GLASS Last Year There Were More Than 3,500 Birds at Georgia-Carolina Fair?Larger Building This Year. The Augusta Poultry uiud oinciais have already started work 011 the plans for the annual fall show, which will be held in connection with the Georgia-Carolina Fair. Those who have ever attended a fair in this city are well acquainted with the high class and variety of the poultry exhibit. A capacious poultry building was erected several iiu.u ago ic. the poultry exhibit and last year it was -nritVi 5 Krtii birds. So great WlU"Ut>U ?>4VU wjvvv w a feature h:u> the poultry exhibit become and its constant and tremendously increasing s'ze will be the cause of another addition being made to the building. From every section Georgia and South Carolina exhibits for the poultry show come, and from as far off as Maine on the one hand and Kansas on the other birds ire sent here. "T*1? ? -C? *v.o o"r> qyVii"nit 1 lie V ti J ilUC-OU l/t^UC Cii ^ ed and such high class chickens as the White and Euff Orpington, the Leghorns, the black Langshans, the Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode Island Rfeds and a dozen other different breeds are to be seen. In addition to chickens there are turkeys, pigsons, geese and duck. That the magnificent poultry ex tiibit, which is seen at the GeorgiaCarolina Pair each year may be an impetus to the farmers of this section of the South to raise more poultry and better poultry is one cf the reasons why the Georgia-Carolina Fair Association always has the Augusta Poultry Club to put on an exhibit in connection with the fair each fall. Just as the farmer sees an exhibit of cotton, oats or corn .wh'cV Is particularly good, and he goes k titt+Vi tTia ir? :i t inn < n crviw LAVJlil^ ?"> iUi uv/t^iuimuwivu lv & * yy ?? these products on his own farm, Just as good as those that he has seen, just so should that 'Fame f*rmer see high class breeds of chickens, compare them with his barren r* flce\ r' mixed, non-producing breeds and then go home determined to better his stock. Augusta and the Geor^ia-CaroHnr Fair Association is proud indeed of the splendid poultry show* which is annually put on here and tv:e people of Georgia and South Carolina should consider themselves fortunate In being able to see such a show.

It has for many years been a two-states fair, but today ranks as one of the real big Southern fairs, equaled by few in quality of exhibits and surpassed by * ~ ~?T-mtotir?n far sonar a deal I ilUUC 1U XOf u AV* ^ , , ing, promptness in details and payment of premiums. You get every cent promised and oftentimes much more in way of special premiums. They have for many years had one of the greatest fall poultry shows in America and for attractiveness and wide distribution of exhibits it has few equals at any season of the year, j They pay their premiums before the | close of the show, which has gained ! for them an enviable reputation and - Avll tne connaenue e?cij CAUlWivv* The agricultural display has always been an attractive feature.

For this purpose they will use the present agricultural building and I say without aarxv nf ciippossfnl contradiction that I' IVttl VJl it is the best building for the puri pose in the South. Nothing better | could be had. The classification and premiums are very liberal as will be seen en another page. SecretaryTreasurer Frank E.

He I nimovc r\<>rripH nut his nlans and UOO a: n aj o ^ expects for this to be no exception. Be sure and read their ad and write him for premium list. A number of cups will be offered in addition to the prizes listed and nothing will be left undone to make I this a gathering of animals, the quali ity of which cannot, be duplicated in any show in the South. The fair grounds will be very attractive, special effort will be put forth to make your stay in Augusta a pleasant one; premiums will be most liberal and nairi at onre. A winning in 1 Augusta will be worth a great deal to your herd and a ribbon from this show will carry with it prestige that you cannot afford to ignore. You will find Frank E.
