Big Crowds Expected To Attend State Fair Columbia, Oct. 10. ? There is out big gathering of South Carolinians that no one wishes to miss. That is the State Fair, which will start in Columbia Monday, October 16, and continue night and day for the en tire week. For over half a century that has been the meeting place of the people of South Carolina, and this year, with an unusually good pro gram provided and with the new deal on, indications are that we will have the biggest crowd in years ? the young and old will be headed toward Columbia. J The Rjyi&off iciaJvS are ./emphasizing the fact that thiss is a 'South Caro lina Fair and have limited prize mon ey to those who live in this State. This will make better exhibits and keener competition. The profession al has been eliminated. In further i keeping with the home idea, the crack band of the University of South Car olina has been engaged to furnish music. The grandstand show this year is furnished by {Jus Sun, one of the best known theatrical men. The Clemson-Carolina game Thursday bids fair to draw a capacity attendance, judging t>y advance sale. School Day will draw boys and girls from all parts of South Carolina. They will be admitted free that day, Friday, and there will be a big football game j between Sumter and Brookland-Cayce. "We invite all South Carolina to come to Columbia and enjoy this show," said President Witcover. "It |is not our Fair, but the State's fair ? j of and for nil her citizens. It is go I ing to be a great fair and I urge you one and all to assemble in Columbia for this happy event." I _ MILLS ? NORTON WEDDING A wedding characterized foi its simplicity was that of Miss Sara Mills and William Laurence Norton of Walhalla, which was solemnized Saturday afternoon, five o'clock at ! the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. I* T.

The bried entered the ceremony roonVTm the arm of her father, by whom she was given in marriage.

The Kershaw County Pair will open its gates Monday for tde admission of vsiitors, but the Fair, pioeer, will not be in- readiness until Wednesday. There will be a number of free attractions, and the agri cultural and other exhibits will doubt less be as good, or even better, than the excellent qaulity of those dis played at former fairs, which have been of undoubted value as an Inspir ation and encouragement to work and plan for better field and garden pro ducts, better stock ando fowls, better farm management and better home life, generally! We hope that every person in the County ? and many from the adjoining counties, who can do so will attend at least one day. Let the "Slogan" be "Meet Me at the Pair . Come! If you have nothing to place on exhibition come and see what the other fellow has and piarj to do better next year! Thus will we have a "bigger and better show" each year and encourage the promoters to ledouble their efforts to have the biggest and best of everything obtain able. "Meet Me at the Fair!". Sunday was "Rally Day" at the Presbyterian Sunday School, and the assembled audience listened with much interest to an admirable ad diess by Dr. Patterson Wardlaw who asked the boys and girls if they were lead} for war". Some people thought there would be no more wars. He hoped not, with bullets for poison gas, but we have enemies who nave to be warred against, lie men tioned some of them as graft, fraud, money worship, injunstice, impurity, Godlessness and selfishness as the general head of them all. A sick world was calling for help and the only remedy was Christ's idea of "Peace on earth and good will to all men." A collection was taken for Sunday School extension.

Dungee, colored minister of Ridgeway, who is assisting Rev. Rose borough of Camden, in a meeting in his church here. A sermon on the prohibition subject, it was a master ful discourse on the liquor question containing many ideas of merit, as well as a scathing denunciation of tho liquor traffic and its direful results when unrestrained by legal require ments. Rev. Dungee is a young man of foresight and ability and his ser mon was full of logical fasts ami good advice to his hearers.
