Nearly every department was filled with the finest exhibit^ and the premium awards exceeded in numbers and . in value those Of former fairs. The exhibits came from all sections and were truly representative of what can be produced from the soil and the households of Kershaw County. It was almost impossible to make _ note of all the exhibits, but taken as a whole it would d6 credit to any county fair and In fact many of the exhibits had already taken prizes at the state fair. Special mention should be made of the floral display of the Camden Floral company as one entered the building. And then on the opposite side was the display from the Lugoff community which took first place not only at the county fair but at the state fair. Thip was indeed creditable. The individual farm exhibits from the Rock springs Farm, -operated by the Gettys brothers and that of B. J. Truesdale attracted especiaT attention. The showjng of poultry, cattle, sheep and hogs were exceptionally good and there were each 'day long lines of interested spectators in and out gathering good information from their neighbor farmars as to the how and the wherefore of farming that will do them good- years to come. Mr. H. G. Carrison, Jr., the president of the fair association and his co-workets deserve the greatest praise for the excellent exhibits gotten together, and they are not to rest with the results of this fair, but will strive harder to makejthp fair of 1927 eyen better than'the one just closed.

In the home from which he went to Congress fifty years ago, and amid walls laden,with the trophies of his public life, the patriarch died at high noon, in the midst of a deep sleep. Weakening of the heart muscles caused his death, but the general depredations of old age had warned his family several months ago that the end was near. He told pomradea in the national house, when he quit its halls in 11P22, he was going home to ; die, home to the rambling brick man' sion which he built sixty-five years ago for his bride who preceded him to the grave. After his retirement from congress he continued his daily walks down town beneath the elms of Vermillion street, and the most cartooned face in America was daily visible behind the brown curtains of the Second National bank which he helped fpund. But several months ago he was forced ito forego his "walks, and he turned to a daily motor outing, which he continued until a few weeks ago. A funeral air and one of reverence settled over the city as newB of his death spread. Danville had { known ^or months that its foremost Citizen had not long to live and it bad filled with honor his declining days. His ninetieth birthday was made a civic holiday and he was a guest of the Kiwanis club, to which he belonged, at a ^ birthday party. He did not try to speak but he stood behind the mammoth birthday cake, tilted his picturesque cigar, at the accustomed ^gle and smiled genially above his chin -whiskers ~ while -photographers made a record of the occasion. ??

That isl another puzzle which has been aud Uen y sprung upon an unsuspecting public by a ruling of the State T%x Commision. And when is milk not! mnk, and wheh is a chocolate milk I drink not a chocolate milk drink? Those are additional puzzles mixed up ?n the other puzzle?a sort of "three I 111 one" proposition, as it were. I There is a concern on Main street) ?n this city, going under the firm name of the Diana Confectiohery, It serves various things, and it has small tables in booths, and it caters to the sandwich trade, as well as to the soft) drinks and candy trade, It pays a | restaurant tax. With regard to it, the etute tax commission has ruied that) when it serves a hot chocolate by itself or with a sandwich, the hot chocolate is taxable. A cold chocolate, or is, at this writing, so far as is krtvWwi a chocolate milk, it not taxable?that] in Columbia, Referring to conversation several I days ago," writes Mr. R. A. Little,J director of the license tax division of J the South Carolina Tax Commission,] to the Diana Confectionery, "wiiM refeience to taxing hot chocolate^ we] wish to advise that the Tax Commissi sion has ruled that all c hot chocolate] served by you is taxable, inasmuch) as the law provides that drinks served at fountains are taxable. The reaaonj that hot chocolate served in restau-j rants is not taxable is due to the fact ] that the law specifies drinks served] at fountains, and of course such I drinks are not served at fountains."] All of which is about as clear aa the) Saluda river during a long rainy] spell; but its import is understand^] able. - *j The act of 1926, .effective until] April -1, 1927?and that includes the! presents?after enumerating the vary] ious soft drinks and other thing* tax-*] able, provides "that nothing frer&iit contained shall be construed' to levyf a tax on ice cream or upon milk or] drinks of which whole milk forms the base." It has been suggested that] possibly heating milk "lias been con- | strued by the license division of the) State Tax Commisiort?or the com-1 mision itself?as changing the char- j acter of it, and that hot milk is really not milk, after -allj 'but becomes near ] beer, or gingdr ale, or coca-cola, or something else. The act does go on] and provide that "drinks made of powdered milk or other substitutes for whole milk shall be taxable," but that is not the ground upon which ] the ruling is based. It is predicated upon the fact.that |he Concern is a) confectionery" and hot a restaurant] or, rather, that H. has? a fountain, | and sells hot chocolates oventhe foun-1 tain, if one prefers them that way. | The tangled thread of the web is] becoming even more tangled. Milk is milk when it is cold, but it is not milk J when it is hot. A chocolate milk drink ] is not .Useable when it is cold, and ft! is taxable when it is hot. Food is] food when it is served at a restaurant I s~and maybe in the home?but it I lose* its character as food when it served in a confectionery.
