The mpnth of December, 1915, marks the beginning of great progress and Sa mi'-hty forward-step in agriculture for Clarendon county. The first annual county fair for this; one of the best agricultural counties in the State,was brought to a close in Mannia'last Saturday, the 4th 'of December. Ts has only been b troug~h lack of full realizati n on the part of our own people of .the many ad vantages-of our county that these county fairs have not been held for many '~. ears. If it werepossible to assign the credit of starting the movement to ainy one man it couldeasily be said that the first public-spirited citizen who began to agitate the t&vemnent was Mr. W. T.- P. Sjprott. of Foreston. * .--For a number of years he hasibeen giving special attention to the raising of floe bogs and cattle, and has been a constant exhibit or and a winner of pre -miums at the State fairs. Several years ago Mr. Sprott advocated in open letters in this paper the;liolding of a county fair. in order that the people of Clarendon osght see whate they really had at home, and in order that every farmer might see what-his neighbor was doing in an agricultural way. An honor was. most worthily ah'd properly bestowed when he was made president of-the county fair association, and while of course he had valuable and patriotic ~assistance from many others making the first fair a success, yet'it would not beidetracting from the work ar-2nerit of any one to say that W. T. P. Sprott is the father of the Clarendon county Fair. The fair just closed was a most remarkable exhibit of the products of the gon'y, considering the short time in which it was gatten up, and it was only' a. fe weeks agothat the movement began to assume definite shape,w hen some twen v or twentyfive enthusiastic citizens and a number of ladies met in the court house to set the ball mn motion. An organization was effected by electing the following offcers. W. T. P. Sprott, president; W. N. Rush. R. D. White. F. P. Ervin, vice presidents. J. G. Dinkrins, Secretary, E. G. Horton, Treasurer; C. A. McFaddin, SuperintendenZ - The fair Gas held in the large Glenn Tobacco Warehouse, on the street - eading to the depot, and on the day before the doers were to be opened exhi .bts began to come in from different parts of the county, showing that the peo -pie were really jo encourage the movement and only wanted the opportuntity. All parts of the dormntry were represented.. - On the first-day, the weather, looked gloomy in the morning, and even a small sprinale of snow and sleet fell, but it was not long before the clouds broke -away and beautiful'sunshine and clear crisp weather then prevaited during tbe remaining three. days.' It was not intended that the fair would be form ll-y, kept open but twodays, but it was such ajsrceess dui-ing these twoldays that the management decided to run in.to Saturday so ;ibat those in the county who did not attend during these days might have another opportunity, The Kraus carnival shows were in full blast across the street from the fair building, and the combination of the fair and the carnival brought a great concourse of people from Clarendon an a others counties to town. - The leading feature of the first day was the big parade in which many business concerbs of different characters took part, forming around the court house square and parading to band music down to the fair grounds, In this -parade there were a number of- beautiful and ingenious floats by different busi *ness concerns i-n Manning, Summerton and other parts of the county. We will not-attempt to describe in detail the various fioats, as we could not do so, and would not like to ander prai..e or do or say anything which may prove to ba an injustice to any of them, but it will sutfice to say that some of them were ingen iousiy conceived-and construed and all of them did great credit to the business which snev represented. ' . But it was on Friday, the second day that the first inspiring scene took place when fifteen hundred school children from all parts of the county, with their teachers, marched in line and carried out a grand parade. They were not fr om Manning or Summerton alone, but they were from Manning, Summer ton. Pinewood, Paxcvile, Davis Station. Jordan, Foreston, Trinity, Aleolu. Oak dale, New Zion, Turboeviile, Sardinia and others, nearly all of the s.chools in the county being represented. A fee of only 2~> cents was charged for admittance-into the fair grounds, and ad school children were admitted free. p It was a matter of surprise expressed by many to see what most credita ble di-play of Clarendon county agricultural products and all manner of handi work could be gotten together io so short a time, and everybody is resolved that the 1916 fair will far surpass this one. Thue p:ultry exhibits were particu lariy i:,e. as was also the hog show, the various displays of all manner of farm pro-I ee were too numerous to attemnpt any description. The county fair bro- h t to the front many line horses, and showed that the automobile has by no means drivent the horse from the stage of action, and that the old time sporning blood of a man to see a fine horse and a pretty woman is still ardent. and there were many fine horses and pretty women both at the fair. Below we give a list of premiumns and ribbons a warded, or such lists as we have beed able to produce. - - SWINE Best Burkshire Sow, C. A.

Tbe general verdict is that ClarEedon'S first county -alr-ifas a grand sue cess and that it-was due to no one mao's efforts, but due to rthe united efforts of the entire fair management, and the commendable interest taken by thie people throughout the entire county, one of~ the besf, conntie~ in the State. Everybody is resolved that the cdunty fair is-now *apermanent bsalishment, and that the Iwinners of prizes this year will have to ioolt to t betr laurels, as. the next fair wilbe bigger and better, and there will be many competitors in many Imnes.
