Will Be Held in Columbia Octobe 23 to 27. j $k- * Columbia, Sept. 30.?Continuou a advances in quotations for cotton an the unprecedented prices for cotto seed indicate that all previous al tendance records upon the State fai are to be shattered this year. Prei arations are being made rapidly fo the early installation of exhibits, an reservations are being taken daily fo special exhibits of farm machiner and other appropriate displays fo the annual agricultural celebratio while numerous booths are bein constructed by churches and other oi ganizations for lunch rooms and re r freshment stands. Consensus c opinion is that when farmers ove the State are receiving approximate . ly $100 fo? a bale of cotton and th seed a trip is likely to be made t the State fair October 23 to 27. A distinct feature of fair wee will be the Harvest Jubilee. Thi festival, introduced last year was a enthusiastic success throughout th week, and was the means of bring ing thousands to Columbia wh would not have been otherwise dis posed to com? to the fair. A quee of the jubilee is to be selected agai this year in a manner similar to tha of last fall and a ball will be give in her honor, following the corona tion ceremony in front of the cap: - tol. :> Horse racing is to be maintaine Yiv a hip-h strata nf nremiums thi year. More than $1,700 will be con peted for in prizes in the differer events, and some particularly hig quality animals will be seen in a< tion on the fair ground turf. Football games will be played o two days of fair w'eek, and this alor will induce many to attend. Fre acts are to be placed on the grounc again this year as last, some of tt specialties being extraordinarily a \ tractive. ) A meeting was held in Columbi last week, when the farm demonstr? tion agent forces agreed to combir their exhibits into one comprehensn State-wide display of farm product The county by county exhibit pla will tlnffe be abandoned, and all e hibits arranged according to crop with all necessary information as production and fertilizer and sc analysis data. The home demnstr tion forces will also prepare an inte esting display. All railroads are arranging suit ble schedules to bring the larj crowds to the fair, and the lowe possible rate will prevail over ? lines.

They went * n it with the avidity of prehistoric f stalking a wounded mammoth in one of the alleys of the cave d1 - ers. ?

The Hundred and Eighth had congelled its brains to make Tliiepval the very last word in this j af_ kind of defence. It was this sort of | in preparation which stopped the Brit-: ison- attack on July 1. Then, as the! cor_ British infantry charged, after the J >ress artillery bombardment, the Germans dean Popped out of their hiding places with ants, machine guns and swept the lines of ,0Ur- khaki with their deadly spray. Bit and by bit since July 1 the British have com- worked their way forward. Last a week, when they went after Thieptales val and I*10 Zollern redoubt, the Brit: the *sh soldiers were at the doors of the cars, dugouts almost as' soon as the last own shell of the preliminary bombardship, ment had burst. A hurricane of I not shell fire kept the Germans in their king burrows and when it had lifted the over British had arrived, king Kept the Faith, tpric Though the Germans in many dug Dunct outs where their galleries of escape aged were closed, surrendered in bodies, in gun other instances they kept the faith that the Hundred and Eighth would die before it ever surrendered Thiepthis val. All of yesterday the British i osity were prying for the entrances to dug?ack outs in the blackened ruins of the ifter town amid the stench of all kinds of man explosives as well as gas and lachryfast matory shells. There was sporadic hand-to-hand fighting and at inter-! vals Germans appeared from the bown bv eis 0f the earth with their hands up nous and surrendered to the British solbine diers who were smoking cigars found e of in the German dugouts. l?nS Persistent Digging. ana An example of what persistent digeast. ging extension of celk*ng lars of buildings is given by Mouquet t0 farm, which the British took on the .heir 15^ They blew in the mouth to all k nil the entrances of dugouts that they urg" could find and had advanced their a line well beyond the farm when a All British officer saw two Germans ?UI1S standing on a sort of slag heitp close s in to his sjde.- They beckoned to him *are" and he thought that they were prisoners left behind, but as he went tothe ward them one shot him dead. Both thep disappeared in the earth. Later on other Germans came to the L surface and began firing into the 5 re~ back of a party of British pioneers jppg * who promptly dropped their shovels ^ and took after the burrowers. When ^en the pioneers returned after a fierce j ugh~ underground melee they brought j they , A\ it ' wnn uiem as prisuuers an umuci auu;i|ii fifty men. If is supposed that the ||lis 1 .u^ Germans here had found the forgot- j' eiri i ten tunnels of a Medieval monastery oner a? , and added auxiliary ones to suit "their ^ road ^ own purposes. M e in Say They Lacked Support. H ( ^ All observers agree that of late the:H ? Germans, when left in isolated strong nner raso- po^n^s w^h orders to hold fast to the H ' the ^eath' are less incline(i than former- !H _ ly to obey their instructions. An of-iflH am- i H| wild ficer Second Prussian Guards j? dead Reserve Division, who was captured H nan_ yesterday, was in a state of excep-IH tional disgust and expressed himself IB freely.
