Practically everything In in r<adi-
nens (or the opening of the Fourth

been at work lor the past ten days
putting the grounds in first class
condition /or the opening, and the
tair grounds already are presenting
a gala day appearance. D. C. L.
Hiers, who has had charge of the
work has a way of making things
go, and his reputation has ifot suf
fered in this respect Last week
the grounds were ali mown and rak
ed to remove the growth of vegeta
tion, the buildings repaired and ron-
t)vated, the cattle and stoca pen*
made secure, the stables bedded, the
race track cleaned up and repaired,
and numerous other details attend
ed to.
Many Entry Tags Mailed.
Bo much for the work done at the
fair grounds. The office of. the sec
retary at The Press and Standard
hall was kept busy sending out ad
vertising matter, writing letters and
getting off entry tags. Saturday
night there had been entry tags
mailed toualmost a half hundred ex
hibitors, 8«JB£ of them having near
ly a half hlindred exhibits; and this
week many more have come In.
There will be no lack of exhibits to
make the fair a success. Usually
the greatest number of entry tags
are given out Saturcay and Monday
before the opening of the fair, as
the articles are brought in to be
placed.

IMucet’enal Bay.
Thursday will, he educational day,
and thin bids fair to eclipse any
previous educational day ever held.
There will be a mammoth parade
of all school children of the county,
accompanied hy teachers and trus
tees, frotn tlio» Walterboro high
school building, led by the hand. It
is rumored that several of the
schools will have u^oue and splen
did features in thifc parade, some
thing new. 'Upon art vlng at the
fair grounds the exercises prepared
by Miss Georgie Ackerman, county
rural school supervisor will be held.
A number of prireu are offered for
“UNCLE BERRY" HUDSON ELECTED
CLERK OF COURT-MAJORITY 194
those who excel In the games and
exercises planned, which are open
to all •pupils in the county.
The county board of education
has sort aside Thursday as a legal
holiday for all schools in the county
and every pupil is urged to be pres
ent. Trustees of those schools not
yet in session me urged to get the
children together anyway and let
them take part in the parade.
Dr. Mitchell’s address will also
be a feature of the day. He is con
sidered one of the leading educat
ors of the South, uad.be always has
a jneasage worth delivering, and.
nearing.
Plenty of Music and Mirth.
There will be no lack of music
and mirth at the fair. Two bands
will be on hand to give plenty of
music,-' and daily concerts will be
given at stated intervals.
The midway will be unusually at
tractive this year, the association
having contracted with Wolcott’s
Model Shows, an aggregation of
clean, high-toned, moral shows and
amusement devices. In addition
there will be free acts several times
daily including a balloon ascension
each day.
Stamp Hands of Exits.
The association has decided to
stamp the left palm of those desir
ing to leave the grounds during the
day. appropriate stamps having been
secured for this purpose. This plan
tas worked admirably at other fairs,
ind it is thought it will be much
oetter than the slow process of issu
ing individual pass out checks. This,
however, will be done to those not
wishing to have palm stamped.
Livt* Stock Exhibits Fed Free
The association will feed free of
barge all live stock exhibits. Am
ple provision has t>cen made for
this psrpose. competent helpers
will be provided for taking care of
and exhibiting live stock in the show
ring, though there will be no ob
jection to owners either having
charge of their exhibits of live stock,
or employing other persons to do
this. In addition a reasonable num
ber of horses not on exhibition will
be fed at a cost to cover the feed,
provided room can be had for this
purpose.
Merchants Exhibits.
Through the efforts of a commit
tee of merchants, the Merchants and
Manufacturers’ building at the fair'
will be filled from one end to the
other. The committee consists of
G. C. Brown, E. T. Hf Shaffer and
Abe S. Karesh and In a.short while
Tuesday afternoon they* had secur
ed exhibitors for every space In the
Leading his opponent. J. M. Ack
erman, by a handsome majority, D.
B. Hudso.n formerly known as
"Uncle Berry", was nominated
Tuesday clerk of court for Colleton
county to succeed the nominee, tho
late E. R. McTeer. The election
passed off quietly and a much larg-.
er vote was polled than had been
expected, the total reaching about
1700 votes. Mr. Hudson defeated
J. M. Ackerman, who has been depu
ty clerk of court for a number of
years. Mr. Hudson is a well known
and prosperous farmer and *nw mill
man, living near Sniders. The sol
id vote received by him at his home
polls indicates the esteem In which
he is held by those who know him
best. • -
