THK HOt'THKKX CAROLINA FAIR Preparation time is here for the next great annual fair to be given under the auspices of the Colleton county fair. The Southern Caro lina Fair will be more of a success this yejyp than it has ever been fce- fore., and it should be. There mill be' better crops and more product which may b«-exhibited than has been-possible in any previous /air be i a use the yield is greater*, and the varieties grown are larger. Put the fair cannot be a greater sucre?- unless evury citizen of the fou* counties does bis or her bit to make it. so. They will do so. we believe. CiRKAT CANMNt; PRKP\R\Tto\s It mould be surprising, if it were possible to secure exact figures, to learn the great number of thous ands of cans and jars of products of the county which industrials house wives have "put up" to help “win the w,ar." Ont 1 merchant stated that on Saturday he got in a ship ment of lf>0 dozen glass jars at f « O’clock in the morning and that hv 3 o’clock iq the afternoon every one of them 1 was gone, and there were Others clamoring for more. We de sire to congratulate the industry of those mho are using so many «on tainem m*which to store up th< fruits >f the season. Keep it up. THKY x v<’ MIST RK INFORMF.D it is learned that a fern uninform ed negroes who are a bit frighten ed at having been included in the first call. ha\e resorted to flight, and have left their homes. This is indeed a pity, for they should know there is little chance for them to es cape, and they will be tried as de serters. and either executed or giv en long prison sentences. Then cannot be any shirkers in this call Rut it is the duty of the inform ed persons in any community to set- to it that the uninformed are given Information which will prevent such foolish steps as this. To those who feel like running away, we would say there Js little chance for anyone ever to escape, even if they go to the nethermost regions. />r take up their abode in the celestial regions. Uncle Samuel is a mighty keen-eyed tdd gent, and it is hard to get away from him. ADVFRTIMSt; W||.|. 1K» IT the results of this legal fight wi): hinge a great deal of the future of our section ’ of the State. If the drainage district wine and the drain age is established thousands of acres of the most fertile lands in this county -will become available lor farms. Not only yiil this be true but many thousands of acres more will be drained in new drain age districts to be established over this county .and the other counties that are watching Colleton. Should it lose and the opponents ot th? drainage district win their fight, it will be many years before another such attempt will be made, and thi*, progressive step will not be taken, and Colleton will receive another black eye in the march of progress. We wish the opponents of thi« district could go to Eastern North f’arolina ?nd talk with those farm ers there who live on lards reclaim- ed by having been drained throhgi, drainage districts similar to this one. They would not longer op pose drainage. Truly progress hak’ an up hill fight in this county of ours. Rut we aid going forward 'n spite of a!I drawbacks. And «e mill win yet, tor right.
