That is. if it meets with the hearty support of our people, it can, undoubtedly, be made a great suc cess; but if they should be indiffer ent ami uninterested it would be im- poaeihte for its promoters to carry oat their ideaa fully and make it all that it ought to be. “It is co-operation ♦hat makes the world go round” says some one; and it is at least very certain that no county fair can succeed without it. It must give those immediately con cerned some uneasiness to think how much, in any such undertaking, de pends upon the will, almost upon the caprice, of the individual For if one holds aloof, why may not another? and given a certain num ber of these carelees or selfish ones, and all that has been planned for the development of the resources of the county, and f ir t^e pleasure and profit of its people will fall to the ground This should make every person feel it a duty to help on an enterprise designed for the good of ail In the matter of exhbit?, women may. anti should be just as. impor tant factors as men.

Lacking such things, any collection of exhibit-, of the countv would be '*•« , ^ • o' aadly opftoded; and therefore each woman, on behalf of this woman's domain’ mould exert herself to con tribute aomething. By so doing the will holp but her example will more or lea* influence other women th taka an interest. We should remem ber that this is the way the masses The county is a small unit, it ia true, but it is a real, and an imp< r tant one.

' . . and agricultural life of South Caro- The fair was planned as an occaskn ^ umoc ^ tlon wlll thla in which town and country cou d give Its forty-second annual fair, meet on common ground for pur poses of mutual benefit—where they might become better acquainted, and more interested in each other's works and aims. WiH not patriotic women, no less than patriotic men, contribute their best, be it much or little, in such a cause? Perhaps a woman may not be skilled^ in any of the ordinary femi nine arts of cooking, sewing and the like, and may think that there is nothing for her to do." But she may own something which would be a welcome addition to the collection at the fair. She might consider, for instance, if she has not some old heirloom of historic, or at least local value. Oftimes one hardly knows she has such things until she thinks about it, for they have grown so familiar and cbmmon to her that she doesnot realize the interest which really attaches to them ar.d which they may excite in others. Lastly, it is a duty one owes to , i oneself to exhibit, if she can. af~the S The ^L-rrhl^vIIr^uf be better than ever before, and that mean* that they will be unsurpassed in the South. The raeiiiK c-.-mnuttee has arramced an attractive list of purses. For the har ness, stakes over 14.000 has been of fered. and the running events, now quite popular in this State, have, U prixes of *100 each. The conditions can he learned from the premium list On account of a large number of showi^ secured through the efforts of the officers the old midway will over lap Its former founds and special ef forts have been made to secure the best and cleanest attractions. A full day may be put iu bn this alone, and the visitors will feel fully repaid even should they see nothing else. All of the railroads are going to sell special excursion tickets fv>r the State fair this year. , There wlll be the usual spirited games of football and other numerous attractions. Thers are a great many features, os the people of this State know, to the annual fair. But chief among these are the gathering in Columbia once s year of the representative citlsens of the State and the display of the best products of the State. President John G. Mobley of the as sociation has had the hearty co-opera tion of the large membership in mak ing this a record-breaking fair. With general prosperity throughout the State, and the promise of special at tractions the fair this year will be un usually well attended and the exhibits particularly good. The fair opens in Columbia October list, and will close Friday night. No vember 4. One of the special features of thla year s programme is that the grounds and buildings wlll remain open at night. This wilLgive many an opportunity of seeing 4he exhibits and spending the evening pleasantly on thy grounds, where they have hereto fore been unable to do so. The grounds will be kept open on the even ings of November 1. 2. 3. until 11 o’clock at night, and the price will he one-half of the usual admission. Of | course, the purpose is to make the ovehings worth while, and have all of tho midway special features in full. The premiums are more general and attractive than usual, and it will be worth while for'those intending to make .exhibits to communicate with Mr. D. F. Ktlrd. secretary; l.c\!ngton. *■ WRITE FOR SAMPLES TRY US ON A MAIL QRD make our Store your home WHEN YOU CoifE.TO THE GITY T “SATISFACTION OR YOUR MONEY RACK” ee * 232 and 234 King Street and 203 M—ting . / Charleston, S.

OLD TIME ELECTIONS. ; In 1840 to 1860 there was no registration of voters and no printed tickets as a general thing. A candidate never went around with a pocket full of cards for distribution^ Candidates were at no expense except paying for their announcement in newspa pers. Now and then they might treat to cider and ginger cakes at a muster ground and some of them bought whiskey and treat ed liberally. The election lasted two days. The hrst day it was at the court house only, there !>eing one.box. Any voter inKhe county had a right to vote at the court house box. hut he could not Vote the second day at his home precinct. At the close of the voting at the court house, runners would scamper out in the evening to the important precincts and carry news of the vote at the court house. It'is said that they did not always stick to the truth, for each man would tell that his special friend had received nearly every vote at the court house. There was little rep* ating in the old days. Even strongest partisans were too honorable or too timid to vole twice. A voter from Cross Arf- chor could vote at any precinct where he happened to be on the day of election. If he was quali fied to vote in the county, that was sufficient In case of candi dates for the legislature the can didates receiving the highest votes were declared elected, al though they did not receive a majority of the votes cast. — Spartanburg Journal.
