Mackin, rector of St. Mary'e Catholic church will leave here very soon for Spartanburg will be received with genuine regret by all of our people. Coming to Camden several years ago from his home near Chicago, he has fit well into our community life regardless of denominations. It was through no choice of Rev. Mackiu that Vie is being removed for he loves Camden and Camden people and he deeply regrets to have to leave here. LOOK OUT fOR THE CHILDREN It seems strange that so many motorists will hurry past the school houses where children are entering and leaving, without stopping to consider how often these heedless youngsters will dart out in the street without warning. Automobile drivers who can't spare time to slow down would better uvoid passing school houses. These little folks have not yet acquired discretion and experience. We older people have to look out for them, and see that in their joyousness and enthusiasm, they are not hurt by rushing in front of some Swiftly moving car. They can't always be deterred from these reckless motions, but at least the drivers can keep their cars under perfect control.?Rock Hill Record. THE COUNTY FAIR The Index-Journul reminded home folks a few days ago of the importance of the county fair and urged preparations to participate and the necessity for an early start to make the exhibits full and attractive. Today we note an editorial in The Minneapolis Tribune on the county fairs of Minnesota. The Tribune says there are sixteen such fairs held annually in the state and that they ar3 important factors in the agricultural life of the state. What is said of their value to Minnesota may be said of South Carolina. Read it and resolve to help make ours the best yet. The Tribune says: "The value of these fairs to Minnesota is too often overlooked, we think, by those who are inclined to compare them, bulk for bulk, with the infinitely larger state fair. There is an unfortunate tendency to classify them as "small time" projects, and to ignore the fact that they are performing quite the same useful function in the county sponsoring them as the state fair performs in the state at large. "These smaller fairs, as a matter of fact, are institutions, to which Minnesota should feel deeply indebted. They help to stimulate, in a peculiarly intimate and effective way, a wholesome and alert interest in agriculture which could be aroused by almost no other agency. They suggest to the visitor not only the extent of the agriculural progress which has been made but plunge beneath the surface evidences and reveal the scientific whys and wherefores of that progress. From the 4-II club activities to the home economics demonstrations, and from the livestock barns to the horticultural displays, a mass of evidence is forthcoming to ?how that achievement of the very finest sort goes hand in hand with the ordering and planning and sys tematizing of Minnesota's gricul' tural life. The counties have every right to be proud of the intensely human, engrowing and colorful narrative which these fairs unfold. They are the recapitulation, in a sense, of a twelve month of earnest and intelligent endeavor and there may be found, within them, the key to an enlightened ag. ricuiture. The copybook maxim that good things come in small packages probably wasn't inspired by county fairs, but Minnesota, surely, must respect the maxim more twcause of them. Greenwood Index-Journal.
