STRICKLAND RESPONSE TO ADDRESSES OF WEL COME AT THE COUNTY FAIR THURSDAY MORNING. u The following is the address in part by Prof. Hugo S. Strickland of Wil liams, delivered Thursday morning at the Oolleton County Fair, in re sponse to the address of welcome. This was a carefully prepared and well delivered address and was very much enjoyed by the crowd present: “Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gen- tlemer.: To address an audience like this is indeed Jboth an honor and a pleasure, for states and nations will sleep and decay when their citizens are idle and inert. Progress means life and continuous activity. The whole South seems to have heard her marching orders, for in the fields of merchandise, mining and manufac turing, and most especially in agri culture, has our Southland eclipsed the whole w’orld. And do we get recognition? Yes. Our fathers have laid aside the honored and blood-stained banner of ’65, and now they march under the brilliant colors of peace, conquering and still to conquer. Our men are silent, but millions'of whistles and as many humming spindles proclaim, grandiloquently, “The South is now alive.” This occasion is the bugle’s blast. It means something born in the mind of man. it is infinite. The t>eople of Colleton have some things that no other people have. We are to bring our people in sight of our best dur ing these three days. Our women are called on to show the best in needle, in art and in the part they play in making home a real home. In fact the best along ah these lines. What an incentive to put before the future home-builders of our county! What is all this for ? Will not the best in live stock, in grain and the discussion of methods wake up the young minds? They will return to their homes |new persons because of new ideas that they have received at this fair. “The Best” will be his watch word in his home, on his farm, in the school. On this rock we in tend to build our future homes, schools and, more important than all. our citizenship. * i This fair is the beginning of a new epoch in the history of Colleton county, and we have to aw*ake and bestir ourselves and walk into the future having no fear of our sister counties eclipsing us. Our filled up ditches need to be reopened and con- ; verted into canals. Our dilapidated buildings have to be torn down and replaced by up-to-date ones. The excuses for school houses should be burned and a school house put in their place. Our sand roads into sand and clay turnpikes. Give our boys a lesson of the best and in the great tomorrow they will bring, these things to pass. At the great Grecian ganu s the! poet vied with the poet, until the | Grecian sang better than the whole, world. Sculptor vied with sculptor until the world, ‘past and present, stands in admiration of their mas terpieces. Greece became great in ^ history, great in tragedy, great in I poetry, and we cannot account for 1 their greatness without taking into consideration the lofty ideals of her people- their efforts to have the best.* If this was the motto that made Greece great; it can also make Colleton great. 1 See more when I look into the face of a Colleton boy than was ever in the face of any Grecian youngster. Let us infuse into the minds of this younger generation the idea of the best things and they will never fall short. They will hand it down to generations, so that in the future years our children shall rise up iind call us blessed. UNIONISM’S Those who have not received from Congressman Legare Farmers Bulle tin. No. 81,—Corn Culture in the South by S. M. Tracy, should send a postal card to the U. S. Department of Agriculture for one. The County Fair, which was a movement begun by the County Farmers Union, has been a most re markable success. It has a world of meaning for the farmers of the county, and will mean much to this industry in Colleton. Let the differ ent locals take the matter of exhibits up and endeavor to have every mem ber of the Union in the county make an exhibit at the next Fair. This is the only way we can get the best re sults from the Fair. It should be especially fostered by the Union, as the greatest good to come from it will be derived by progressive farm ers.
