What Others Think of George Warren / V /* « • . •'A kins once said of a prince struck down, 'Taller lie seems in death. This may be soid today of Ho>i George Warren, of our neighboring county, Hampton. Refusing a judgeship to which he was elected by his compeers who were in position to know him, because it involved a question of honor. Mr. Warren se» an example and established a name for himself which will be known and quoted lor years. His future is bright for high honors. Colleton is justly proud of her son whom we have loaned to a sister county."—The Press and Standard. "From what The State has heard and knows of Repre sentative Warren he would have proved a worthy circuit judge." —The Slate. "The manly conduct of George Warren must commend it self to the peoplg. . . He is a lawyer who loves his profes sion and kno^s the traditions of the hem h . . . and f he generous conduct which he has displac'd wfti merit for him the respect and approbation of the people of his State.”—The Co lumbia Record. "Col. George Warren of Hampton has commended himself ta the people. ... He would Aave made a splendid judge. He is well endowed in the law , to jjdt.s« ieptious. honest, and possesses all of the other qualifications that go to make a good judge.” Tift* Spartanburg Journal "We think we never heard of Gtoige Warren until writhin ^ the past ten days, but we have formed a very high opinion of him. He is a very unusual man. ... He did exactly the right thing, of course, but he is to be commended nevertheless. It is refreshing to know that we have men of such a high sense of honor in public life.”—The Anderson Daily Mail. "It takes a big man to do what George Warren did Tues day night at the General Assembly in Columbia. He has elect ed judge of the newly created judicial circuit which Is one of the highest evidences of the esteem in which he and his ability is helij by his fellow workers in the General Assembly. . . Mr. Warren led the fight for the creation of the new circuit and bo it said to his everlasting credit be decKaed to serve after being elected."—The Johnston Time*. .-T ■ * \ I! I I Southern Carolina Fair Unce before in these columns we have discussed the idea of a South ern Carelina Fair. During the past j few weeks we have been planning to go further into this matter aad start some movement, if possible, that would result in this proposed fair being a success. After a good deal of deliberation and thought we , have been convinced that such a fair not only is possible, but that If our 1 people are willing to take hold of tlm ^ matter much good can be acoom- j plish for the section represented by i Southern •srolina. When the Southern Carolina As sociation held its vast meeting in Hampton It was made very plain in | Mr. Smoak’s address that those in terested in Southern Carolina Caro lina and the movement for develop ment here were earnestly desirous of a lair being held during the fall j months. The idea had its osigin in the minds of some of the people of Colleton county, a county where fairs have been held, and successfully, for a number of years. These men, when the Idea came to them, began to work for a fair on a much larger scale than the County Fair which has been held yearly for some time, j It is fair to these men to say just here that the Idea of a Southern Car olina Fair was not born of a desire to see the Colleton County Fair pro fit thereby. We make this statement because there may be some who would hold back and hesitate to enter into a movemen't. looking toward a fair at Walterboro because, forsooth, the Colleton County Fair Associa tion would broflt thereby. On the other hand, this idea came from a sincere desire to see Southern Caro lina come to the front along these lines. We are beginning to recog nise that a fair, whether it he a county fair, a sectional fair or a Mate fair. Is not held for the benefit financially of one man or of few men It has passed the time when a fair is held as a business venture whereby tnen hope to make money. Today our fairs arq our greates* advertis- j Ing agents, and It is for the purpose of advertising our section in n P pr * fectly legitimate way that we have these fairs. And so for this very reason these men who are behind the idea of a Southern Carolina Fair are working so hard to assure the success of the movement. Thev realjje that if the needed and lonied for development takes nla* ” *n Fou- thern Carollva that we nvist arNe and shake off the lethargy that has j been overpowering us in the t»«st snd do things worth while, and then j let the world and those about us i know something of our possibilities •Dd our powers. In no other wav fan certain lines of this work be car- tied out than by such fairs as the N ''\ f proposed one. The leaders in thir movement have a virion of Southern Carolina as she develops. They have a vision of an annual Southern Caro lina Fait at some central point where the people of the section can come together and display the fruits of their labors and show to one anoth er and t») the visitor who perchance may come this way the things that are" possible in this, our home sec tion cf the State. Some start must be made. At the present* time there is no accomoda tions anyw here save .at Walterboro fot* the launching of‘such a move ment. and so these people have com* forward and said to the rest of <be seat ion. "Here's our buildings and , nr giounds. come on let’s have a ■ r worthy th^i name.” The-* men have miule It plain that the movement is not local and have gone so far as to say that should the As sociation decide to continue to hold such a fair at Walterboro that tin* Colleton County Fair Association, owners of the grounds and build ings. can bv re-organized and others from the other sections can come in and make it a movement embracing the whole of the section. Or they have gone even further than this and agreed that after the movement is on its feet they will meet the rest of Southern Carolina in having an annual fa‘ir at any point sheeted in the territory. It now seems to he up to the rest of the counties tr put their shoulders to the wheel and give a Rush. As we have said above. Hece plans have already been discussed in In different sections. Here and there work has already begun looking to the success of the movement. Beau fort county, we understand, has al ready signified her desire to take a part,'and a leading one. in a succe-- fui fair. Colleton is preparing for the movement as never before. \*e urge our people then fore »o not to make preparation* or fair, ami not only prepara.t*on< attend, but preparations to h*lp ou In the matter of exhibits, There >- nothing to be found on a farm but what is wanted at this fair, an l sn we emphasize the fact that we w;;n. our people to begin to prepare ex hibits from the home and the fatm to he shown at the eomirg fair.
