VOL 37 I Y> W^LTERBORO, ^ C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19,1914 NO. 1 FAIR BU1T0NS RAGE OF HOUR ERROR IX REPORT OE CAMPAIGN ME MEETING Many Duplicates Being Found 'and Free Tickets to Fair- Being Given. Every -day tliore i.i nor^ interest bel^ar" takcu in the unique 'method advertislas the Colleton county fair. As stated in our last irsue the Fair Association is putting out num- buttor..* to which ther? arc duplifaJ *s. 7ho~p persons fieding others \ iti; their numher^pet freo ticket' to cv‘-r d •. of tho fair, and the beauty ct it i - that beth of the people who bare the dui'Hcates .get free ticjtet?. The fair secretary, Mr. It. Ml" 'Jeiferies has attended all of tho car.'.paign meetings to date and has ■ given out hundreds of buttons. H.> tells us that already many hav» found their numbers. At Snitl r/ o sets of duplicates were found: at Hire Fateh, three; at Lodge, three: at Smoaks. two; at Rutfin, one, and about four have been found it Walterbofb. In all 30 season tickets ha\e been given to date, and the people are still finding them. An.interesting feature of the mat ter Is that in many cases young la dies and young gentlemen have been fortunate enough Vo find dupli cates. alfd t ore than one ramanpe has been started, it is reported. So it appears that the fair, at the same time advertising itself, is also help ing Cupid ih his work, and great things are expected along this line. • Certainly, the buttons are bringing the young people together, nnd it , ds suggested that this is an easy v ay tor some young man to find a rwfeth.'art . Space forbids our pub lishing a list of’Yhose who have Figures Given Wrong In Speech of E. M. Jones. Mr. James I<. Robertson, Candidate ^ For Representative, Has Untimely Death. In our last week’s issue two " er rors occurred In "the account of Au ditor Jones’^speech. One was a ty pographical error, the other a mis placement of figure?. It was stated that the,tax levy was “reduced to one and pne-fourth mills.” when ft should have read “the tax levy is reduced one and one-fourth. mills.” Last vear the levy wns 17 3-4 mills, this year 16. The other error was in regard to the special levies bring ing a total tax of til,346.48. and that 8 mills levied ^n all of the school districts, including all prop erty in the county. We take great $34,C34.08. which sum would be more than enough to run all tho schools a good term. As the article appeared we had it that Mf. .lores stated a levy of 8 mills would bring in *11.346.48. when this sum is what is now realized from special school taxes, and it should have been 134,034.08 would be realized jfrotn a levy of 8 mills on all prop erty In thee ountv We take great pleasure in publishing this correct tlon and regret that the error oc curred.
