Ascends Twice “The Best Fair Ever.” The Fifth Annual Colleton County Fair began its four-day session here yesterday,' the crowd in attendance being more than double that'of any other first day crowd ever assembled on the Fair Grounds. Witn every-' thing in readiness for the comfort, convenience and amusement of hundreds of visitors, the prosp“cts are-- now good for tit* most suciess- ful Fair ever held In Walterboro, and there is no doubt but what this county fair is equal to any ever held in the South. Serious disappointment was fel! yesterday by hundreds of people when it. became published that the governor ot the state could not m* present because of the death of his mother, which occured on Sunday night. A large number of people had prepared to welcotpe the gover nor to Colleton County and grave was the disappointment felt at bis inability to be present, and hundreo* expressed sympathy/ for him in his bereavement.
