THAT ROAD MACHINE.' f We are publishing in this issue an article from J. E. Moore, former County Supervisor, in reply to the article published last we^'quoting from the February issue of The Southern Good Roads Magazine published at Lexington, N. C. We are glad to give Mr. Moore space for replying to the quotation from this magazine, and we are glad he has such a good defense against the charge. Unfortunately Colleton county has % bad reputation in certain sections regarding some of. her politics! history, and such re ports as these will do her no good. We felt it a duty td reproduce this article, so that the people of the county could be informed as to what is being said about our affairs on the outside, so that, if an error, it could be corrected. eftheCounty Fair, and the tads by those who eon* tributed to the success of the fair in y , . i an industrial way. We should like Mr Martin to be a little more specific in his charges that there were "gambling schemes and dirty shows” at the fair. We knew it to be a fact that the officers of the Fair Association refused to allow any show on the grounds (hat could be considered gambling, *lnd one or two were shut up promptly when their attention^was called to any such feature, If there were "gambling schemes and dirty shows” going on when Reverend Martin was there, why did he not hunt up the officers of the Association, all of whom are personally known to him, andjodge a complaint?He might have been instrumental in having them closed then and there and have re moved the “weights” at once Why should he have waited five months befroe saying anything? Surely the evil of these “gambling schemes and dirty shows” eras as great then as now? In fact has not the delay ' served to destroy the moral effect of his sermon, and transform it into an unkindly attack on the County Fair? Ar6 there no other “Weights” on which Mr. Martin can expend his invective? Let him look around and see if there are not some pressing demands for attacks along other ** lines. Rather, let Reverend Martin, and all other ministers and moulders of * public opinion join with us to educate our people up to- the point where they can and will appreciate the efforts being made by the Coun ty Fair association to build a “New Colleton.” Sueh cannot be accom plished by attacks on the 'work of a few public-spirited men andjwomen, such as those who form the Colleton County Fair Association.

A communication in this issue of The Press and Standard, purporting, to be a report in brief of a sermon by Rev. G. A. Martin of I/odge, preached at Great Swamp Baptist church, Siandav, April 2, will be somewhat of a surprise to many persons in the county, and to none more so than the members of the County Fair Asaoication. For the Rev. G. A. Martin we have the kindest feelings, and we regret very much that he should have allowed himaelf to “get worked up” over the County Fair just at this time. We believe that a little investigation and a talk with the officers or atock holders of the fair association would have lifted the "weight” of respon- sibility which he may have felt to have preached such sermon.*, Minis ters, as well as all good citizens, should be constructionists and not deatructionists, and a person oc cupying the responsible position of pastor to a church should be moet careful as to the charges made. A careful minister will hesitate to make charges which will in any way cripple a worthy institution. We do not believe that Mr Martin intended to do the County Fair any harm, but he inadvertently got started on the subject and in the heat of his sermon said things that were better left unsaid. For instance, the inainua- tion that the stockholders of the Fair association for “(he love of money” allowed improper shows and gambling on the fair grounds, is rather a serious charge to make. We know the stockholders of the Colleton County Fair association to be men of as high character as spy in the State. In fact some of th^j# are ministers cf the Gospel, and are sure t^cy voct not actuated in banging the carnival company to the fair for the purpose of making money. The sole object in Securing the services of an amusement com pany was to bring the people to gether ia order that they might be bcaefitled by the elevating infhR REV. G.’A. MARTIN ATTACKS ' f AIR At Great Swamp^Baptist church, Sunday April 2, Rev. G/A.* Martin, pastor of this church, took occasion to say some pretty bitter things about the County Fair. Wishing to give Mr Martin an opportunity to ' make a statement as to what he said and why he said it, a letter was ad dressed to him by this paper asking for a statement. The following has been received, and is given publicity: Lodge, April 8,—Dear Mr Editor; In reply to your inquiry of recent date concerning my sermon at Great Swamp, Sunday April 2, will aay— Hebrews 12;! was the text used: Wherefore seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of wit* nesses let us lay aride every weight. and~the sinthat doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the* race that ia set before us. . In talking about the weights I used some features of the Countv Fair as an illuitration saying that so long as*we have auch weights as those gambling schemes and dirty shows to drag us down we need not hope to make a successful Christian race. / We as individual Christians, as a Church, as a County as a State and as a Nation must be willing to the aaeriftee and lay aside such weights and "the ain which doth so easily beaet us.” 1 I mid further in referring “to the love of money which ia the root of all evil” as a “weight” which hind ers the runners in the Christian race that this might be the weight to the Stock-holders of the Fair, who' are professed 'Christians, that makea them allow such things brought into the Fair. They ought to love the souls of men and women, boys and girls too much to allow such temp tations brought among them or to allow such weights to be fastened to on those in the Christian rrite. I think the Fair proper a good thing for the county and said so but I never fail to fight dirty shows aild gambling schemes. Hoping this is quite satisfactory you, 1 am Very respectfully ^ • G. A.
