FAIKM NHOt'LO Rfc <iO<>n The time for getting ready for the fairs is again approaching and everyone should take a most lively Interest In them, and K ,vp support to thpoo who ae trying to get them up. The Press and Standard be lieves most heartily In all kl#ds of fairs and would urge a liberal pat ronage, both in the matter of at tendance and making exhibits. ThN is one way in which every person In the county in do a bit in the way of public service. That fairs do good can be shown by observing some of the fruits of at tendance. The editor of the Press and Standard was at Garnett last Friday attending the meeting of the Brighton agricultural club, and in discussing the fair with a gentle man of that community he said: “One of the things wo brought back with us last >’ ear from your fair was the Idea of planting peanuts > for the market. We saw and heard what Mr. Wichnun and Mr. Peurl- foy had done with peanuts, and de cided we could do likewise over here, so nine of our farmers are planting 101) acres this year and we have purchased a picker. Our people are pleqfed with the pros pects.’’ Other instances equally as nota- ble could be mentioned and the growth of thoroughbred cattle hogs, poultry and the improvement of horses cart be graced in thin county largely to the fair. The poultry judge who has been coming to our fair for several years com ments each year on the great im provement in the poultry brought to the fair. The improvement in hogs Is equally marked. This year will show even greater improvement along all lines. ^ Especially do "e wish to com mend the community fairs to be held In the county this fall. We know they will be fine atul prove a great inspiration to all our people. Come to the fair and study th'> exhibits. Make your visit .educa tional^ THK Hit It; It TON AGtVHTl.TVK- Al. < I.I H The editor of ‘ The Press ami Standard on Friday accompanied County Agent Uisher and Southern Carolina Secretary Held to a meet ing of the Brighton Agricultural Club near Garnett, in Hampton cooaty. and seldom have we enjoy ed a day. more, despite troubles with RJsher's car on account of a leaky radiator, two blow-outs, and a newly worked sand bed in Hamp ton county Just across Toby’s Bluff causeway. But we felt repaid for all the trouble we had upon reach ing the club house, and seeing the Urge number Of good-looking, in telligent and prosperous farmers gathered there. They had , Juat finished a morning sesaion, -chief among the speakers being F. H. Murray. State Highway Engineer, and Frank Wilby. '^raffl^ tnansger of the traffic bureau of Savannah, the subject of the meeting being better roads and a bridge across the Savannah river. We reached there too late to hear what they- told ns were especially strong addresses, and most inter- cfting as Savannah is the chief market for these people and they have no hridee across the river. But wo were In Hp** -partake of the ri^p.ificent Ainner being served on a lorff table avrangt-d in the pj;>7*.i of the Club house. Th rt host f-tr this occeflon was F. V Bbcde. aniLnothing was left out of a moat tempting menu-.-which was Tftoromrhljr epfoyed. The Brighton Agricultural Club is now ut its second yoke has a membership of mor^ than fifty to the roll every jneetlng. The only officera are a secretary, J. 8. Bax ter,. and a treasurer, W. W. Smith. Each, meeting la presided over by a chairman choeen at the beginning of the meeting, the hosts being des ignated at the beginning of the year—one for each meeting. The time for meetings of the- .club is fixed as the 4th r .Friday in each month. , . The ladles of the community hold their meetings there on Thurs- dsy before the men’s meeting on Friday. They meet and discuss their community problems.- holding’ their home demonstratioa clubs there and other community meet ings. * . v The club house was a residence and is leased by the club at a rental of $5.00 per month, ll is Ideally situated and located in the center of a rich farming section of Hamp ton county. Here are found many old families w;ho have been and nrc prominent In the affairs of the State. We were told that most of the members^ of the club, however aHs small farmers, that is planting | for a two or three horse farm. They are intelligent and well educated, many of them holding degress from some of the leading colleges’ ond universities. - While the social feature I? em- phaaized at the monthly cjub meet ings. there is a business side to the activities of the club, and here is where its greatest good is being ac complished. Among the many, tMngs accomplished was the purchase of a fine Jack for use foy the club num bers. A number of handsome mule colts ape to be seen in the communi ty. The club stands for improved farm* animals, and only recently $6.000.4$l were raised to purchase 28 fine Percheron mares. - Their buyers were Ktill In the WeM, al though these mares had hee 0 ship ped and it was a keen disappoint- ment that they had not arrived In time to be on exhibit at the meet ing Friday. 1 The members are be- ginning to practice cooperative marketing, and nine of the mem bers are planting this year 10'> acres of peanuts for market, having purchased a picker. This idea thr;v got at the_ Southern Carolina Fair last year. Altogether, it Is an organization of men with a vision and with a purpose. conditions In that section of Hamil ton county, and much greater achievements are ahead of Oh m. \ type of the citizenship of-the opm- mnnity is seen in Thomas O. Law- ton. a young man full of energy and with ideals. Largely responsible for the formation of the club, he has associated with him numeron* - / H. ' others with like vision. “A dozen men like Tom Lawton would ievo lutionize any community or county.” was a remark heard about hint- arid it is true. With this Issue The Press and Standard Begins a new year In its existence. We now have at the head V’ol. 39, No. 1, which-means (hat The Press pnd Standard has had a birthday, th^ same as other .folks, and that it is now in its 39th year. There are many people In i the county who played with the In fant. and have kept in close tout*! with Its growth and development. They know what things this paper has stood /or and how It has tried to help ftfose things in ' Colleton county which mean growth and de velopment. During this time this newspaper has been owned by* var ious people and has pursued several policies differing wit!| the beliefs and desires bf those who have owned it. But on the whole it has stood for prp^ress and the uplift of the people and the county. The pres ent owner became interested in this paper in ll»o6, and has been editor and publisher since, with an inter mission of two years, 1913-15. As a newspaper of middle age. we salute the fraternity and readers, and tiust we shall continue on our way as in the past. PAINS SHARP AND STABBING V » — V Woman Thought She Would Die.

Physicians undoubtedly did their best, battled with this case steadily and could do no more, but often the most scientific treatment is surpassed by the medicinal properties of the good old fashioned roots and herbs contained in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. If any complication exists it pays to write the Lyaia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.. Lynn, Mass..for special free advice. T. E.

THE COTTON SITCATION It seems to The Press and Stand ard that the present decline of cot ton is not at all necessary, and that if the farmers do not rush th* i cotton to the.market, that they will receive more money for it. \V- would strongly urge qur farmeis to make arrangements where potrsibh to hold theis cotton, and nqt to msh if on the market. If this countv had a good warehouse system wher-' cotton could be stored and ware-, house receipts Issued therefor, far mer^ could borrow enough on their receipts to pay their debts and fur nish them vrith whet necessary mon ey they need, and hold their cotton till they cared to sell. We believe that this county would realize many thousands of dollars more for its cotton if held in this manner, than if forced upon the market at this time. It would be good businef* for the business men and bankers of the r.ounty to organise a hcldinc company fo r this put pose. Cotton would be a safe asset, and the farm er would be secure in holding it off the market. Mil BMfY IKE SKIN -SECKKTARV m. L. RFllt The Press and Standard regret* that Sec. S. L.
