FORT MII.L. S. C.. OCTOBER 20. 1910.
A County Fair for York.
With an abundant harvest and
good prices for all farm products,
the thoughts of many South
Carolina people are just now
turning to the State and county
fairs which are to be held within
the next month. The State fair
begins in Columbia two weeks
hence and, as usual, is certain to
be attended by thousands. The
dozen or more county fairs to be
held either before or subsequent
to the State fair will also attract
large crowds and all who
attend are certain to profit by
what they see and hear.
Nothing is better calculated to
advertise a section than a county
fair, conducted on a liberal scale
by live, progressive men with
sufficient money to insure its
success. It is not only a great
he'pto fhe immediate community
in which it is held, but does
much to promote the welfare of
the entire section by which it is
patronized. It promotes social
intercourse as an organization
affording the people of the
county an opportunity to become
acquainted and exchange ideas
and opinions upon the best means
of promoting the progress of
their respective communities.
. There is nothing to be said
against a well-conducted county
fair and much to be said for it.
Why can't the people of York
county, one of the richest and
most progressive counties in the
State, get together and organize
a fair association? York county
has never held a fair and the undertaking
would therefore be experimental
and might fail, some
one suggests. True. The airman
who crossed the English channel
in an aeroplane some months ago
had not been preceded by anyone,
but the thought that he was experimenting
did not deter him.
Down in Chester county a fair
is to be held next week. If the
people of Chester county have
enough confidence in themselves
and their county's resources to
feel that they can make a creditable
showing, surely the people of
York county, which is larger and
wealthier than Chester county,
have no reason to suspect that a
like undertaking here would be
less successful. There is no gainsaying
that York has the money
and the resources to make a county
fair a success.
There is only one thing lacking
. to insure a fair, and that is an
organization to promote it. The
exhibits of agricultural products,
manufactures, live stock, poultry,
domestic science and other
things to contribute to the success
of a fair are all here and
need only to be assembled attractively
at some central point
to warrant the belief that such
an undertaking would survive and
prove an annual source of pleasure
and pront to our people. The
fact that Winthrop college is in
York county and could be depended
upon to liberally patronize
a county fair should be of
great value as an incentive to the
organization of a fair society. N o
other county in South Carolina is
so fortunate as to be the home of
a similar girls' college, whose resources
alone would almost insure
for York county the most creditable
county fair ever held in the
State.
Nor need there be any shuffling
of words or disagreement over
the proper place to hold a York
county fair. Rock Hill is the
county's largest town and the
place which would have to put up
more money than any one other
.... -
community to establish the fair, j
It is easiest of access to the great-!
est number of our people and is ,
the only town in the county'
which could properly entertain
the crowds that would attend the
fair. It is to be hoped that some
of Rock Hill's enterprising citizens
will take hold of the proposal.
If they do so, we are confident
that the other sections of
the county will cooperate with
them and that in the fall of 1911
\*r?rk nniintv will Iwvrt. a fail, flmf
will open the eyes of all.
The Reasoning of an "Able Lawyer."
Mr. T. B. Fraser, of Sumter,
sometime legislator, and, according
to The State newspaper,
"able lawyer," in the opinion of
The Times falls short of offering,
in a recent newspaper communication,
convincing reasons why
South Carolina is better off without
a marriage license law. By
employing many finespun arguments
Mr. Fraser tries to show
that conviction for bigamy is
easier in South Carolina today
than it would be if a record were
kept of the marriage ceremonies
performed in the State. He says,
in effect, that if the witnesses
| who saw the ceremony performed
could not, from death or other
cause, be brought into court to
! testify against the accused the
State's case would fail. How
utterly inconsistent with Mr. Fra1
ser's reputation as an "able lawyer!"
Any 12-year-old school boy
could tell Mr. Fraser that a law
could be passed which would j
stand the test of the courts allowing
the admission of the proof
now required to establish the marriage
along with that of the public
; record.
Inferentially, if not specifically, i
Mr. Fraser finds further objection
to the proposed marriage license
law because it might lead to a
divorce law?a specious argument,
the product of some mind |
I I ????.
i wnose owner could look through
a keyhole with both eyes simultaneously.
It is surprising that
| well informed people should drag
I the argument into such respecta;
ble company as their own intellectual
domain. There is about
the same kinship between the proposed
license law and a divorce
law that there is between a Caucasian
and a malay. In the former
case, both have to do with mar- J
riage; in the latter case, both
races are members of the human
! family.
The last word is not said by j
Mr. Fraser when he sets South I
; Carolina upon a dais above the |
| other States of the Union because i
we are unlike them in having no
marriage license law. The truth
is we are clinging to a fossilized
custom that all other enlightened
Commonwealths have got rid of.
South Carolina is in sore need of
a marriage license law?if for no
; other reason, to prevent child
| marriage.
