What a county fair could have been held if everyone whose Interests would have been sub served bad given ita officers and pro moters their support! But, perhaps, such Is the history of all such organ isations. and to overcome such ob stacles so splendidly on;y serves to show what a hold the county fair as an Institution has in Colleton county. Attendance Satisfactory. ‘ Despite the inclemency of the weather for t>?o of the main days, and despir.fthe fact that there was a widespread undercurrent of oppo sition to the raise in the price Of admission to the grounds, the aggre gate attendance was satisfactory, and the gate receipts exceeded that of a year ^go. There was only one real* ]y big day and that was educational day Thursday. The parade of school children, was the drawing feature of the fair. Better Pleased With Admission. The kickers who corns to the fair with a deefr seated opposition to the admission fee of 50 and 15 cents, went away much better pleased when it was found that they could come Into the grounds and go out at will. There was an exit gate provided and here those desiring it oould get their hand stamped with cate in Igrge let ters and readmission was granted at the gates simply by showing the the hand. Hpeecbcs Were Fine. The addresses delivered at the fair were all of a very high order and have been most warmly praised. Hon. Jonn L». McLaurin’s address on Wed- nesdsy which was published in the last issue of The Press and Stand ard, was very good, anl was liberal ly applauded. Dr. S. C. Mitchell’s address on Educational Day was also a rare treat, end the memory of it wi‘1 lust for a long time. His subject "Com munity Life” was appropriate and appealed w.th peculiar force and ef fect to the audience. He is a picas ing speaker and has a carrying voice which enabled those at a distance to hear him distinctly. Richard Carroll, who spoke on Ne gro Day. was ajfo accorded closest attention by white and colored alike. He made a very able address and one most helpful and practical to the members of both races present. Kchirationui Day. Educational Day.

About D o’clock however, the clouds began to break tvv.ay and the sun to shine—too late, though for many porsoas distant from town to come. There were sev eral thousand persons in town, and nearly all of them found their way into the fair grounds. The Parade. The parade of schools from the Waltcrboro High school building was an inspiring feature. There were^Sl pupils in line, and a num ber of schools were represented. The parade left the Walterboro High school building at 10:15 o'clock, be ing led by the Lodge school under Prof. Dusenbury, and brought up in i lie rear by the Walterboro graded nnd high school pupils under Prof. Shealy^ The line of parade was down Hampton street.

Mitchell, president of the South Carolina University. Thurs day at the fair grounds. Dr. Mitch ell selected for his subject “Commun ity Life". He said the big f our in the development of the State and nation are: ,(1) public roads. (2) public school!, (3) public libraries, (4) public health. Taking up these divisions of his subject. Dr. Mitchell eloquently showed how the life of every com munity is affected by the presence or absence of these four Important factors in the development of our country. The improved road brings famil ies in cloeer touch with each other In the community, and makes possi ble the establishment and mainten- ance of good schools and churches. The Walterboro High school is the blgkwt thing In Colleton county, ggd the Influence of this school has boon felt In the new life of the community. The demonstration farm if also an Important factor in the develop ment of a community, and the mod ern college Is another agency work- ins tor the betterment or condlttoaa. Dr. Mitchell dwelt for sometime on the new idea of rural credit which Is just now uttrsctlng so much at tention. By this is meant the stand ing together of the men or our com munity and thus strengthening cred it by means of a common purpose, i he spirit of being of some help to one’s neighbor is thus enjendered, and the bond of fellowship strength- eneJK — ' u speaker dwelt on the waste ast sums in creating agen- destruction. The battleship Southjbarolina cost 16,000,000; the cost /Of all the colleges and equip ment in South Carolina is less than $3,000,000. Seventy per cent of all the revenues of the world goes to pay for wars either past, present or future. So much Is spent for des tructive agencies. Yet in South Car olina only 115,000 is provided for lighting the enemies of good health. Dr. Mitchell expressed his gratifi cation at the election of Woodrow Wilson as president. This he said meant the emancipation of the com mon man, and the reign of honesty and sincerity. o The Baby Show. One of the most interesting events of the fair was the baby show held Wednesday at noon. This show was managed by Mrs. M. C. Fishhurne, the judges being Mrs. Jas. E. Peuri- foy, Mrs. Mason Hodge, and Miss Mary B. Frayser. There* were four classes of babies, two of boys and two of girls. Eighteen entries were made and three prizes were award ed under each class, as follows: Girls, Beauty—Pearl Blocker, Ed na Pearl Sanders, Hal Eliza Padgett. Girls, Fine — Pauline Weston Smoak, Evelyn Carter, Shelly May Ryan. Boys. Beauty—Rudolph Mears, Eddie Craven, Koger. Charleston District, will be beard by a large audience composed of those who never miss an opportunity to hear the speaker. Dr. Daniel has selected as his subject, "The Texas Pony.” and if this proves to be as entertaining as another lecture of his. "The Southern Mule”, no one will go away dissatisfied nor regret- tin th-'t he was present. Another added attraction ror the ovc.iug will oe several songs by Mrs. A. E.

So many of the schoola Monday night of this week. The resignation -* a8 caused by a disagreement between Mayor Acker- man and Chief Gahagan following the arrest of a negro on tae streets The trouble arose when Bill Boat wright, a negro from Ruffin, who was incensed over some fancied wrong earlier in the day, made a threatening and very profane remark on the street near the Walterboro Oil Mill. Special policeman Benton hearing it and concluding Boatwright was intoxicated placed him under arrest. Boatwright resisted and Po- licqmnn Heats came to Benton's res cue. Just in time to catch the negro's hand as he was pulling h.s pistol out of his pocket. They found it nec essary to club Boatwright into sub mission and he was taken to jail. Friends at once interceded and an •(fort was made to get the prisoner out on bond. Policeman Gahagan said he did not think the negro shquld be turned loose a:ter his threatening remarks and advised against bond. An appeal was made to Mayor Ackerman who consented to Boatwright’s release on 510 bond. Policemau Gahagan was not inform ed of this action and when he later saw the negro on the street he went to Mayor Ackerman and turned in hla club and badge. He stated that he did not feel he had been upheld by the Mayor and would not continue to act under the circumstances. Mayor Ackerman expressed his re gret that such action should be tak en. Members of Connell and the citl- sens generally took the view that Policeman Gahagan should have been upheld, and urged him to reconsider his resignation and continue on the force. A special meeting of Council was held Monday night to consider the matter and the unanimous vote was to reinstate Policeman Gahagan. Finding how the aentiment stood he acceded to the request to coutinue in the service. TOWNSHIP MEETINGS MEETINGS BEING CONDUCTED BY 8. H. WORKERS. game wardeu.

Seldom has a more able and elo quent address been made than that of tRtabard Carroll, to the mixed, au dience banked around the speaker’s stand Friday. His main theme was how best to bring snout and main tain the harmony of the races. He contended that there should be no feeling of enmity between black and white, but that the races should live together peacefully and In good fel lowship. "The white man is going to rulo", said Carroll, “and we had as well accept this truth ” The speaker commended the Col leton County Fair Asoociatiou for having inaugurated negro day at tli** fair, an innovation which has been followed by the fairs at Barnwell, Orangeburg, St. Matthews, and oth er places. He urged his people to show their appreciation by getting up. exhibits and making Negro Day st&qd tor something. The key to the situation between the races is service. That race only- can succeed which renders the great est amount of service. Mas must work to fulfill his highest destiny. Negroes should strive to own sorue- tl.iiig. A man who has property is a better citizen, and it is a mistake for white people to oppose negroes owning their homes. The vicious criminal element is that owning no property. Rev. Carroll said his race does not wish social equality. The true ne gro is proud of tfis race and endea vors to keep it pure. Down with that rlass of white men who will drink whiskey from the same bottle wjth negroes. That is tne class which lynches negroes and from which race hatred springs. The speaker urged the negroes present to be reliable and to strive to be trustworthy. His address was well received and will doubtless accomplish much good L. Fishhurne. J. G. Padgett, M.
