All who took part in the putting on of this unusual show of farm progress deserve the highest praise for what was undoubtedly the best fair ever held in this county. Unless the merchant who is catering to the public cultivates his field with advertising, he is just about in tjie same position as is the furmer who fails to fertilize his growing orops.

Former Lugoff Man Died From Injuries Funeral service* for Andrew JackHon Sloan, 3d, who died in the Columbia hospital Saturday afternoon from a fatal Injury h? received when a flying piece of timber hurled by the whirling ?aws of an edging machine, ww driven almost through h(? body, will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the Broadway Baptist church, of which he was a member, conducted by Rev. Andrew Hartly, pastor. Interment will be in the Jackson Creek churchyard near DenUville. Mr. Sloan came to Cayce ^ fthrtn Lugoff about three years ago. Since that time he ivas worked regularjy in the mill of the Oranvllb W. Taylor Lumber company of Cayce. He was held in highvesteem by his employers and has made many friends who deplore his tragic and untimely dcatfi'. He leaves a widow and nine children who live in Cayce near the mill In which Mr. Sloan worked. Mrs. Sloan was before her marriage Miss Mamie Shannon of Kershaw. The children are, six daughters, Alice, Lottie, Rebecca, Gracie Lee, | Ethel Mae and Mamie Blanche Sloan, three sons, lister, Woodrow and' i Walter Sloan. Beside* his immediate family he in survived by two sisters, Miss Dasie Brannon of Kershaw county and Mrs. Janie Corder who lives near Columbia; two half sisters, Mrs. Kmmu Hayes,, and Mrs. Hunter Peterson, lx>th of whom live in the state of Utah; and one brother, Charlie Sloan, who lives near Columbia. Mi'. Sloan was injured while stand' ing by the machine into which he i was feeding boarcjs, at about S o'clock Saturday morning. The piece of timlier was hurled with such momentum that it knocked Mr. Sloan to the ground several feet from the machine, breaking several ribs, going almost through his entire body and probably puncturing his right lung. Fellow workmen rushed to his aid but they could do nothing in response to the cries of agony from the sufferer. An ambulance was immediately ^ummoned and he was removed to the Columbia hospital.

He' died shortly after 1 o'clock, after five hdurs of agonized suffering. Hie wife was at his bedside -when the end came. The wound was so serious that no hope was held for his life from the time of the accident.?Sunday's Columbia Record. One Change For The Better There are many who believe that any change in manners and customs must be a change for the worse. There are others, especially among The?y oil rig?folks,?who eagerly Twel- J come any change, regardless of its origin or its morals. Everybody rtali/.es that scoial. economic and normal conditions have changed greatly all over the United States in the period dating from the beginning of. the war. Doubtless some of the changes are improvements as certainly some Of them Teefh to. the thoughtful as recessions from older standard*. One change, however, seems to iisVj definitely for the better. That is the change in the attitude to each other of the city people and the country people. Country folks no longer regard all city people as stuck-up snobs nor do city people think of the folks who live in small towns as uncouth pumpkins. The reason for this is that city and country people today dress alike, have the same standards of schooling, eat the same sort of things, rule in the same kind of cars over the saVrte good roads, see tho same movies, hear the same things over the radio, read the same magazine and books, and so are beginning to act alike, for the first .ime since rivalry between rural and urban points of view ln-gai<. We believe that is a good thing. We believe that we shall never become a completely, unified nation until all sectional differences and prejudices have been wiped out. And. if that means modifying old standards, then let us modify the.m.?Aiken Standard. Judge Ernest F. Cochran harked back to the days when men were hanged for stealing a horse in Federal Court at Columbia Friday af ' ternoon when he sentenced young Charles C. Spires, of Orangeburv - county, to four years in the Atlanta I penitentiary for stealing automobiles. "When a man stole a horst he was hanged. I don't say to harkI en back as far as that,., but I coulc rive him 30 years," the judge re marked when Spires' counsel pleade< k for clemency after the jury hac brought in a guilty verdict.
