I)o The People Want - Community Fairs? Our courtly fair luxt year was mc< dium good. Not enough of our people took pari in exhibiting. In order t?? give |>crt?ohal contact*. with more of the farm folk* it may he well to have a number of community faint, However, these faint be held only in communities lhat are interested. The following proposed schedule of fairs is given in order that the people in the communities listed may consider the advisability of having these fairs and are requested to notify the county agent if interested. The proposed tentative schedule is as follows: Pine drove and Mlpney, Tuesday, October 14; Antioch and Charlotte Thompson, October IB; Ml. I'isgah, Oetober 16; Liberty Hill and Three ("s, October 17; Cassatt and Hethune, October 1H. Having two fairs one day will riot conflict with one another. This is done in order to get judges from Cleiiison College. By having only one fair a day would require judges tone here the better part of two weeks. The places mentioned would be only the centers for those parts of the county as the communities surrounding these locations would he expected to participate as well as the particular community named. In other words these nine fairs should reach every person in Kershaw county. These fairs would not ojily develop additional interest hut also Ik- splendid places for showing many people how to select exhibits for the county and state fairs and encourage many more people to bring their products to the county fuir. The state fair is to he held October 20 to 2.r>, and our county fair November 6, 7 and H. Those Interested in having community fairs will kindly advise Henry I). Green, the county agent. Our County Fair. Our county fair will he held November fi, 7 and H. We can make this the best county fair in South Carolina and make it highly valuable to our people, if everybody will feel that he or she has a part to play, has a responsibility in it. I wish that every farm family in the county would exhibit something?if nothing more than a peck of potatoes or eleven ears of corn. But. folks, just look around and see the things you can bring, and bring them. Hogs, pigs, chickens, cows, vegetables, calves, pigeons, giasjied-front bee hives, hay, stalks of crops, corn, cotton, and many other things. Kncourage your neighbors to bring something. It is almost justifiable homicide to hear folks remark at the fair. "1 have better than that at home." Do not leave it at home this year. Good prizes are going to he offered this year. The premium hooks will soon he out. Additional housing facilities are being arranged for. let everybody in the county help to make our fair the best county fair in all South Carolina. It can bo done if we will bring to the fair what we have at hon\e. Even if you do t.ot expert to take a first prize, he a good sportsman and help anyway.

NEW LEGION COMMANDER (Continued From First Page) vigor and determination, the woundedt maimed and disabled veterans, to the shame of the American people, would have been sorely neglected, thousands would have gohe to their graves in suffering and in moments of irresponsibility numbers driven to suicide as a result of their injuries in war. "And why is it powerful? It is be-j cause its ranks are filled with men who dared to sacrifice all in defense of the cause which they espoused; men who have followed the frightful trail of war, have seen its sufferings, its hospitals, its desolated and destroyed villages, have buried their pals in the shallow ditches where they fell and without a moment to pause have rushed on in the ever increasing fury of hell. The experiences of these men have taught them independence of thought and action. They know the blessings of peace and are welded together in the pursuit of their high ideal by the great comradeship of the camp and battlefield. And while those of us who have the real intrest of this organization at heart are deeply grateful for the choice and loyal leadership of the past, >ve are also fortunate that the field ?for future selection is one of growing,/ruitfulness. "Stanley Llewellyn, born in Arlington, Massachusetts, 43 years ago, conceived at an early age one of the great essentials of a successful, contented and influential career?an education, and worked and fought, with a determination that always indicates strength and power of character, his way through grammar school, prepaatory school, academy and finally won the degree of Bachelor of Science at Dartmouth College at the age of 28. Unashamed and unafraid of an honest toil, he soon became identified with ! various outstanding industrial enter- ' I prises of his section and finally l>e- 1 came manager of the Kendall Mills at 1 i Camden?his present work. ; "1 trust that 1 may not be giver, to j extravagant expression as I grew : older, and 1 do not fee! that 1 ' indulging in such impropriety wh? I declare to you that in all of nu i.servation in this life 1 have never seen a more marvelou> impress ui a strong personality, a splendid itsourcefulness, and a fine sense of fairness and justice, than has beer, manifested in the transformation of I the industrial community whieh ne has had in charge. He has injected i into the life of those splendid people J those influences and agencies that ! have promoted their comfort, content I ment, happiness and mental, moral i and spiritual elevation. If such a spirit and purpose were operated in the industrial communities of this countrv we would eliminate from our experience such things as strikes, embittering controversies, violence and long drawn-out sensational trials in our courts of justice. "He gave 21 months faithful and loyal service to his country in the late war and was thereafter called to the eommandership of the James Le Hoy Ik-Ik Host No. 17. These qualities! converted this Post into an active, aggressive and progressive post, wnose crowning glory in the field of its activity was the purchase and pre- \ sent ownership, the comfortable and artistic equipment of one of the finest Post buildings in the State, With the increased responsibility of Executive Committeeman his#Work became more marked in efficiency of service. The membership of his district increased during his administration from 825 to 10f>4. Such in brief is the'record o.f the man we now present to you for your consideration as leader of this Department for the ensuing year. "In this modern day we must put aside all the bitterness, misunderstandings of the past in order , that this great nation of ours, united in its ideals and standards, and loyalty to a common flag, may go forward and become an example to the nations of the earth. "It is my hope that some day we may see at the Capital of this great nation a monument rich in the simplicity and elegance of true art repreI senting the fully equipped soldier as he fought under Washington, with the inscription, "By his Loyalty and Patriotism This Great Nation Was Given." Then another representing in full equipment the soldier as he fought under Grant, and" one as he fought under Lee, with hands clasped and flags intertwined, with the inscription, "By Their Great Struggle Each Bravely True to his Own Conviction, This Nation Was Cemented," and then another representing in full equipment the soldier as he fought under Pershing, with this inscription, "By His Unsurpassed Sacrifice and Courage, This Nation Was Preserved." "In the great struggle for American independence the great states of Massachusetts and South Carolina were in some phases of that struggle more completely identified than any of the other colonies. So, today, let us as sons of South Carolina, true to all of its proud heritage, call this son of Massachusetts to our leadership in a great and glorious cause that knows no boundaries, a cause which is nothing less than the great constructive work in time of peace, that which is the mission, the purpose and the ideal of our great organization. This cause means the moral and intellectual elevation of every class of our citizenship and the giving of our nation a status of a fine and inspiring example to the world, not of oppression, terror and injustice, but one of peace, justice and liberty.
