RECEIVED WITH KECKBT
The announcement in today'*
Chronicle that Rev. Thomas J. 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.

with friends, he was taken to
