Other officers were elected and plans were started for holdimpt, the next fair, which will be In November. . For the past two years the fa>r n.heid here has been the Southern Carolina Fair embracinp exhibits from the four counties of Southern Carolina, but this year it was de cided to return to the Colleton County, fair, and while exhibits from the other counties would be invited \ it was felt wise t» hold only a county fair this year.

Fridav last the editor of The Press and Standard accompanied j Founty Agent Risher on one of his trips in the "low’' country, seeing! some of the great developments bow , S ing on in lower Colletpn. \Vhik» is trip was not over all of the lower part of the countv it covered enough of it. to show what great things are being done in an agricul tural and live stock way to help win the war and to get ready for the oncoming boll weevil. . > Wo left Walterhoro early Friday morning and firat noted the fine Irish potatoes being grown right in ^ Walterhoro by Capt.i J. E. Moor* and Messrs.-Wichman and Francis. Capt. Moore's potatoes were the best we saw at all during the day. though there O aro many hundreds of / acr?s being grown over the lower part of the county. Those of Messrs. Wich- juan and Francis are alfcb very fin**, and the large field between to and the cemetery never presented a prettier appearance than it does now with its green ami growing po tatoes. Just before reaehi»g IJenderson- vMe we observed the big Held of J. M. Speights and across the road the well tilled farm of Haskell Moore. Mr. Speights. Mr. Risher skid, keeps four mules and two men to work them. Tn do this he purchases the best machinery, all of it of the “riding” kind, wherever possible. * and he thus cultivates just as much land with two men as most other farmers Ao wiih a man to every plow. His field is a model of well tilled neatness. In Hendersonville n field of very pretty rye belonging to C. H. Boyn ton greets one from the piazzw nf Mr. Baggett’s store.
