DILLON', S. <\, MAY IK, 1911. . I If only one fourth of the farmers j iu Dillon county subscribe as much M as $5 each to the Dillon County er Faiy Assocoation the Fair w'll lx- a success, but if as many as one-half )tj become stockholders it will be a t>i still greater success. The primary a\ consideration in the organization of 111 an institution of this kind is not the / ai amount of stock that an individual will take, but the number of stock- rt holders among whom the stock will tl be distributed. Therefore if every ' 8' farmer in Dillon county can he in- j ^ duced to take ;is much ;is one share / the Pilir will lluiri n himin.?o 1 - - ??? ?. ,.l the most favorable auspices and its ft success will be assured from the fl very beginning. A county fair is!l> I n not a money-making institution, al- j though tin. re are instances in this J Vv, State where such institutions have i c< ' , ^uen renin: kably successful from aj" ^jtiaticial point of view, but it ' is v;wt the purpose of the gentlymen , ?eh<Rd tlie movement to establish a fair association in this county to t.j reap any great pecuniary rewards, at The main object is to stimulate an b' interest in diversified farming, to ai bring the farmers together at least ^ once a year for the purpose of dis- fj( cussing the different methods of j Pi crop culture, to arouse a friendly j dc rivalry in the breeding of fine stock I I Wi and cattle and to provide some I form of amusement for those who Is;l seek these same amusements else-j hi where at a great sacrifice of time nit and money. This being the main!10 cK* object of the institution the county i t:i V fair will pay larg r dividends indiri-ctiy .Nthan ma y other institutions. orgaiUjped fo private gain, would pay dirtily, and no person, a whether i?e he a YUrmer, banker, ,n dr merchant or professional man, haz\vl arda anything by sub6. -ibing as much as $5 to assist in its organi- ja zation. It is purely a co-opevaiive m institution, a sort of family affair, w which keeps its dividends at home, " and every citizen of the county will ^ have an equal share in its benefits. rc _____ lc 11 < A Newspaper's Ideal's w m The Herald does not like to use U its columns for "shop talk," but the k following excerpt from an address delivered by a veteran newspaper i man before a publisher's associa-' w a tion in a western state so clearly p expresses the sentiments of the av- s erage publisher and so forcibly de- ii I ! fines the attitude of the newspaper M ' c toward the public that it is given a ; a position of prominence in our edi-1 torial columns: H With all its pleasures, and there t are many, there is one depressing n thing about the newspaper business, j li And 1 do not say this with the thought that it is not true of every I other business or profession. Our.l revenues are seldom such that wc t can reach out to our ideals. Every 1 newspaper mail looks forward to 1 the time wtien he shall be able to j i print his entire edition upon book t paper, and when every page shall c be brightened with some local por- f trait or local scene, and when the t .V< J dvertising revenues from ei tieh of space shall l>e so large ti e can Increase the columns ews iuid information he r.n.v g v more than double. The . grc he highest ambition of the ne aper man is to be a newspsv tan. Such are cut difficulties, our si itions and our ideals. There is rofessLon in which the obligat f Honesty or purpose is more rig v enforced and snore willingly umed than in thi-, osie of or here is no business in which ocracy is so rare. The man w lust continually place his id< nd his opinions upon the prin age cannot play the hypocrite ei hough lie would. He must stu ut either for or against prsictic r every public question. And lust willingly submit to bei laligned and condemned by th< ho do not dare to take a posit! uaiuvt'iy ior or against ino tun ley demand that he take. Every newspaper man wants ?aders and his community, he irge or small to have the best srvice he has to give, and he itisfied to be misunderstood a bueed.very, very frequently. If in but attain some near approa > his ideals of patriotism at ho: id abroad. Of all professio me can com'jmre with that of t ress in responsibility, in conser ve dignity and in the giving mest, true and open public si ce. A SH<K'KIN<1 TKACKBY (Continued from page one. i .
