-fcU<itrinsr have been handed communications this paper for publication: To the Colleton County Fair Asso ciation. Gentlemen: I inclose you, here with, the checks mailed me by your Anociation for the two premiums awarded me in fancy work depa&* ment. 1 trust that this amount may serve aa a salve for the conscience of the man, or set of men, who were so ungallant as to draw this distinction between Woman and Man, From all sides 1 have heard that the premiums awarded the ladies in the fancy work department were re duced fifty per cent In not a single nsfance have I heard of the men's premiums being reduced. I do not think that there is a woman in the county who cares for the paltry cash consideration, but we are all incensed at the manner in which we have been treated. For one month I devoted my time and the little talent I possessed to Jht work assigned to me as man- agar of the Fancy work department. I freely drew upon my limited per sonal means to advertise this Fair and to interest the women of the county in the work. 1 drew upon my physical means to its capacity, and as to how I succeeded you may judge for yourselves. As to whether 1 or my co-workers and the balance f the ladies who exhibited their work at this Fair have been treated right, I respectfully refer the matter to the people of Colleton County. Yours very truly, Marguerite E. Harley. Patterson, and we will gladly furnish the names of other if And while we are on the subject, al low us to say one thing more: Several pieces of fancy work and some pre- rves were entered by non-residents of this county. In every instance whenrUiis has been called to the attention of the aamdation the parties,soexhibitinghavebeennotified that the exhibits were limited to bona fide residents of this county, and the premiums have not been paid. Either owing to the Superin tendent’s mistake in sending tags to those out of the county, or to a mis understanding of where the parties lived, several things were allowed to go on exhibition, and while the management regrets these mistakes exceedingly, still in an affair of such magnitude as the County Fair turned out to be there were more than eight hundred entries by over three hun dred, parties from all over the county, some of these little mistakes were bound to occur, and all that we can say is, that we did the best we could under the circum stances. and hope that another year, those having the fair in charge will profit by our mistakes and that the next fair in the coming fall will be conducted to the entire satifaction of every one. T. G. Kershaw, Superintendent In reply to the above, or rather in explanation of the position of the officers of the Fair Association, the following is published: Miss Harley accuses the officers of the Association of discriminating against the ladies in the distribution of the premium moneys, this, as a fact, is not so, but the officers dis criminated in favor of the ladies, and not as Miss Harleys tries to show, against them: when the judges of the women’s work came to judge the work, they called the attention of the managers to the fact that in the premium list there were only two premiums offered for the vari ous kinds of , embroidery, knitted work, croched work, etc, while there was offered on exhibition a half dozen kinds of each, and they (the judges) asked that they be allowed . to classify'the various kinds of work, and offer premiums for the various classes. After consultation with the officers, it was decided that this be allowed, by the Association, and that the premiums be cut to 1-2 to allow for this extra offering of premiums. For instance, there was on exhibi tion, under the general name of “embroidery” several pieces of drawn work, several of Mount Mel- lick, several pieces of silk em broidery, s silk shirt waist em broidered, several embroidered linen dresses, and.two or three sets of pieces, like bureau scarfs, table scarfs, center pieces, doily and table mats, etc. Ut, would have been mani- festedly unfair to all parties to have undertaken to|judge, we will say a linen center piece plainly em broidered, with one of variously colored silk, on a very elaborate piece of liner, or again, to have judged the very handsome pieces of Mount Mellick in competition with an embroidered pillow* sham. So the premiun list was extended to allow* cash prizes for the various classes, and this is where probably Miss Harley has gotten the idea that she has been unfairly treated. It would have been much more becoming if she had gone to one of the officers as hvae a-great many persons whom premiums were cut who were, and are under obligation to her and the other ladies of the committee who rendered such valuable assistance to the Fair by their service*, and asked , for an explanation. We think that she could have had the matter ex plained to her entire aatiafaction. As for her not hearing of any men's premiums being cot down, we beg laave to refer her to any of the fol- 13wing gentlemen, whoae premiums were cut exactly fifty per cent for the same reason that all other pre- mi mums, where it was necessary to scale the premium list on account of faulty classification, were reduced: Mr. B.

Nettles of Black Creek who happened to tie misfortune of hav ing nis leg broken about three weeks ago, is doing very well and will soon be odt again. The accident happened on Wed nesday evening, Oct. 27th. Mr. Nettles had been working at Dr. Padgett’s store and was on his way home. He heard some boys hunting, and going to where he had cut a tree, he stopped to look up the hol low. The tree, which had lodged, became unsettled and rebounded, struck him on the leg, breaking it. The angel of death visited home on Sunday, August 22nd, and took from ns our deaf mother. Mrs, Rem ley. She leaves nine children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her kws. Our father de parted this life eighteen months be fore her. and she has lived that pe riod of time with her children, to whom she was devoted. She united with the Methodist church early in life and was a true Christian and a dear mother. As long as her physical strength would allow she could be found at her place at church She was sick several months, and all that willing hands and loving hearts could do was done, but to no avail. She was laid to rest in Guyton cemetery to await the resurrection morn. After a long life she laid down the suffering body and her soul returned to her Heavenly Jiome above. \ll her suffering now is o’er. And our weeping has just begun. Tho she is in that Heavenly mansion, Waiting there for us to come. It was so sad to part from her, Tho the hour had come. And we must wait to meet her In that bright and happy home. Weep not children, tho you have laid her. In that cold and silent jn’sve. Where dear mother waits to greet you, Near the Lamb who died tc save.
