We have been greatly benefited by consultation with Sec retary A. W. Love, of the State Fair Society, and as a result of that con sultation we beg to recommend: 1st.

That the name of such orga nization be “The Colleton County Fair Association”. 3rd.

We suggest that the capital stock be paid, all cash or One ($1.00) Dollar per month, beginning July 1st. at ^the option of the Stockholder*. 4th. That the president appoint a committee of seven to apply for a charter and to open books and re ceive subscriptions to the capital stock. o' 5th.

Pigs make good exhibits: Poultry makes a good exhibit. $ Some of the locals were without representation Saturday. Why? Every member of the union should take a share in the county Fair sociation. as- See your local committeeman subscribe to a share of stock in county Fair Association. and the The ladies of the Civic League are loyal and show their interest in the County Fair. Can a delegate represent a local in attending to its important busi ness, on the streets? The county meeting w as scheduled to begin at 10 o’clock Saturday but it started at 11 o’clock. Whv? Quite a number of delegates to the county meeting Saturday did not get into the court house till near the close of the meeting. Why? Now, get ready for the County Fair. Save the best ear of corn, the best stalk of cotton, the best of everything to.e^ibit at the Fair. We commend the Civic League for its public spirited action in sub scribing to two shares of stock in the fair association. Several elected delegate* to the county meeting Saturday did not even go inside the court house while the meeting was in progress. Such delegates are poor representatives of unionism. A firm in town stated recently that in two weeks it jiad sold a car load of Western hay at $1.35 per hundred or $27.00 per ton. When will our people learn, to v«top this leak? Now is the time to plant for pea vine hay. • - . ——— / Don’t let the weeds get poMewion of your fields this year. Begin to fight them early and keep it up. Roger—Door-Reeper, Wal terboro. W. W.

The farmers who are ready to learn new methods and who are anx ious to improve themselves in every respect are the ones who will suc ceed and come to the front. Those who can’t be taught anything will never get out of the old rut in which they have been going on for years. If a man has a wart where his head ought to be, it i* no use to try to help him to higher and better things.—Fanners Union Sun. The Farmers’ Union continues to grow iiT South Carolina. President Harrithas been a patriotic, self- sacrificing and earnest worker for the building up of this organization. The place to manage the farm is above your eyes, for it takes brains to secure scientific and economic uction.—The Farmers’ Union n. It is true that the farmer carries a great load that he ought not to carry; that he makes a living for a great crowd of other people besides himself, and that when settlement time comes there is little if anything left over for his own part; but it is his own fault. The land owning farmer, of all men, does not have to work for other people unless he wants to. He can raise everything he needs, live on the fat of the land and make all others pay tribute to him for hi* surplus if he only will. There are those who do this and they are always free and independ ent. They are never heard to com plain about the burdens they have to carry. They know that their in dependence and prosperity are m their own hands.—Yorkville En quirer. Don’t forget that we want to make this the record-breaking crop- year in South Carolina for all crops —save cotton. Give your corn extra good care. OFFICERS OF THE *MAPLE CANE UNION- J. F.
