COUNT* FAIR WAS 8UCCK88
Exhibits in AH departments Exceeded
Hi -.piny in Any Previous Fair
The Kershaw County v Fair which
closed Saturday was by far the most
successful from an exhibition standpoint
of any that ha? been put on
here since the fairs were inaugurated.
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.
To enumerate as to the exhibitors

"UNCLE J#>E" CANNON DEAD
. y Had
Been Unique figure in National
House For Many Years
Danville, 111., Nov. 12.?The fiery
spirit of Joseph Curney Cannon,
dimmed to an ember by the weight of
ninety years, was- quenched today by
death. .
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.

"HOW OLD IS ANNK?"
Wh? Hit Blllle~r.tUr.onT .nd. When
1h Milk Net MUk?
(By Jno. K. Aull)
Columbia, Nov, 16.?When j? ?
taurant not a restaurant? 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. A sand-1
wich, even though it contain a little |
ham or a little cheese, becomes not a)
sandwich, but something elsf. j
Around Columbia the A old puzzle, I
"How old is Anne,", has ceased to
hold that pl^ce in the niche of puszle*
which it dnce held. Here the latest
ruling of the State fax Commission
is pondered, and speculation upon
what 1s coming next rivals speculation
upon the future of the cotton crop or
who will be the next to be put off J
Queen Marie's special train.

J. IIAUKY FOSTER DEAD
Was Prominent Member of Lancaster 1
Bar Association
Not since the tmgic death of Dr.
Thomas Doster on the 13th day of i
November, 1925, has the sudden death
of a prominent citizen been received '
with sueh surprise and regret as the 1
sudden passing of J. Harry Foater at i
his homo on Chesterfield avenue Saturday
evening, November 13, about 8 '
o'clock. Mr. Foster was in the besj. i
of apparent health, but for some '
cause not clearly understood, suffered 1
a violent attack of illnass shortly af- j
tor supper and died before a doctor <
could reach - him. It is said by his i
physician that the attack brought on *
angina pectoris and the end came so I
swiftly that those of the family who I
were at bome at the time did hot <
realize the seriousness of the situa- j
tion. <
Mr. Foster was well known j
throughout the state in legal and leg- i
islative circles and had a wide fam- i
ily connection. He was a native of i

Sife." For several years Mr. Foster i
and his family made their home in
Rock Hill. The family moved back <
to Lancaster about two. years ago and j
Mr, Foater was engaged in the prac- 1
tice of law here.. He had als6 served j
as a member of the legislature, repre- i
senthrg this county in the genera! bb- j
sembly of 1912. He was Also a can- 1
d Ida to for the house in the recent i
Democratic primary. PHe was a vlg- {
orous campaigner and as a stump
speaker was quick wilted - and humorous,
delighting his hearers with his
straight-forward statements of his (
platform and the stories and jokes ^
that he introduced into his speeches, {
which enlivened the campaign meetings.
Mr, Foster is survived by his wid- '
ow, who was Miss Mamie Huey'of (
Winnsboro, and the following sons
and daughters: Joseph H.* Foster, ;
Miss Mary Shaw.Foster, Jack, and .
Tom Foster and the followirtg btnth- .
