W. C. Brant has an article in this
isaoe which should be read by every
fanner in the county.* He haeZthe

voicing the sentiment of many
Now is the time to wia a Jirize and

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.

ATTACKS!?) COUNTY FAIR.
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. Martin.

downpour of rain before reaching
