In the Oh! World the fair or Umr i«*an ancient inatitotion. If we
could find fill* of fhe daily papers and country wwklir* wlwn old Mr.
Pharaoh was kinging for a living, alien Frofossfr Plato waa discoursing
on pun* democracy and the wliat and how of a republic, when the thou
sand and one events of the^Arabian Nights Entertainments were being
worked out, we should probably find articles like this one—an editort'
writc-ir^ of the annual fair in his towij.
. Barter and Exchange Places.
People throughout Europe look upon the fair as a^fheeting held for
the purpose of exhibiting and selling goods. Originally fairs were held
at stated times and places, some for the sale opd particular class of mer
chandise, others for tlfe sale of goods o£/a general character. People
resorted to them to exchange goods MUPto collect their stores to last for
several months. Princes and the magistrates of cities encouraged them
and some of the privileges gyamed long ago still remain in force.
Such fairs as thesq/flourish today on the outskirts of civilization, as
in Siberia, Manchuria, Asiatic Turkey, where people live isolated for long
stretches of time and do their buying no oftencr than once or twice a
year. They originated in the church festivals, which were found to
afford the best opportunity for commercial Jransactions, the concourae of
people being such as took place upon no other occaaiona.
- Other European Practices.
In tome parts of Europe persons of all ranks atill wait for the great
annual faira to make their principal pun-haara of artielra of rrery dearrip-
tton. Thia applies r»pr\ tally to’part* of Europe when* trading facilities--

For the paat several months the
above line. "The Official Newspaper
of Barnwell County,** has been car
ried on the Ant page of The Barn
well People, but apparently aome of
our subscribers do not realize the
full significance of what thia means.
Some months ago, the Board of
County Directors requested the. three
newspapers in Barnwell County to
submit bids on the cost of publishing
certain legal notices and advertise
ments, which include the Treasurer’s
annual tax notice, the Auditor’s no
tice -of appointments, registration
notices, chain gang notices, the Treas
urer’s quarterly reports, the County
Directors’ quarterly report, etc., and
The People was awarded the contract
for four years, beginning in May,
1923. In consideration of the rate
allowed, the Board of County Direc
tors agreed that said notices would
appear EXCLUSIVELY in this paper.
The subscribers of The People, there
fore, are getting a service that they
cannot get from any other newspaper
in Barnwell County. In addition to
thia. they are kept posted on happen
ing* in the county, the State, the
nation and the world. They are given
the opportunity of reading several
complete novels daring the course ef
