Two weeks ago when we remarked that we hod not yet received those delicious May peaches, we did not beKeve they would be June pmrhrs before we ate them. Here’s hop ing they may not be July peaches. We’ve had plums one time, though. Speaking about the minister in Columbia who was enraged at the •presence of a dog in church, -we would meekly remark that there are some persons in Walterboro who think so much of their dogs they cannot leave them to go to church and they are ashamed to go with them. 1 Judge Harry A. Peeples of Tampa Fla., has an interesting letter in this issue. Judge Peeples is one of Col leton's sons making good in “The .l^nd of Mowers’’ whose thoughts turn to the days of “Auld Lang Syne and he wishes to hear from some* of his boyhood companions. We shall cheerfully give space for any communications of this nature. unexcelled natural resources than a well conducted counTy fair. This, however, seems to l>e the unanimous opinion, and th.^re is no doubt in the mind of the public that a fair will be held. We are glad of this. What we w ish to do here is to emphasize the very great impor tance of prompt and material assist ance to those in charge of the or ganization. The county farmers' union appointed seven members to have in charge the matter of secur ing a charter and getting up the capital stock. This does not mean that the fair is to be limited to mem bers of the union, but the object is to have what it* name indicates—a COUNTY Fair. This was made plain by Sec. Love and other gentle men at the public meeting Saturday, and so accepted by many not in the union. Now in order to get this county fair it ia necenary that at least a majority of the capital stock of $5,000 be subscribed, and that at once. There should be no trouble in getting this amount. There are few persons who cannot take at least one share of this stock, and we trust every one who can take some stock will so notify the com mittee at once, and thus hasten the matter of organizing. Show your faith by your works.
