If Speaker Clark does not come tc
the Tri-County Fair he will miss a
great deal.
When Canada refused to accept
the reciprocity agreement President
Taft had about all of his campaign
thunder exploded.
What do the editors who oppose
the Sons of Confederate Veteran
organization think of the Red Shirl
Convention? It is a wonder they
are not seeing "hants."
Just suppose politics in Soutl
Carolina was as unsatisfactory as i
is in Charleston? The chances are
we would soon be in the conditio!
of Mexico, and we do not intend ft
reflect on the Mexicans either.
We are glad to note that Senatoi
Tillman is giving evidence of som<
of his old time form. If he can jus
regain it, there is no man in Soutt
p- " * ?.u.
fr?Yl?i v'v / ' P .' V
If there is anything irregular with
the recent election for a bond issu<
for a new school building, the trus
tees should take immediate steps tc
have the errors corrected. If neces
sary they should order another election,
and see to it that everything
necessary is legally and properlj
done. There is no two sides to th<
Question. We have pot to have :
school building, and we can not ge
it except by voting bonds for th<
necessary amount. There oughl
not to be any opposition to it, but ii
there is the good people of the district
should get together and se<
that the election is carried. W<
must go forward.
We do not believe that Governoi
Blease can deliver the South Carolina
vote to Harmon any more than
we believe that The State can deliver
it to Wilson. We have an idea
that the people are going to do a
little thinking for themselves, and as
a result thereof the speaker of the
last Congress is going to stand a
good chance of securing the South
Carolina vote for president. Why
should he not? There is no man in
the party whose experience in public
affairs better qualifies him for
the position than Champ Clark. Besides
his recent record in Congress
is fresh in the memory of everybody
and it is heartily approved.
He has the confidence of the people
and he is the logical man for the
democrats to put forward for President.
LEXINGTON COURT HOUSE VS. LEXINGTON
COUNTY.
There is considerable severe criticism
of some of our county officers.
New county talk and unrest and dissatisfaction
comes from every corner
of the county. There is reason for
all this and we fear just reason. We
have, all of us always heard about
the Lexington Ring and we have
heard it denied that any such Ring
exists. As a matter of fact we
doubt if any such Ring has ever
been organized or does exist, but on
the other hand there are always
those who seem to have a dangerous
pull wu en it comes to shaping the
policy of county affairs. These unconscious
dictators may be perfectly
honest and clean and patriae,
still they let their selfish intciest
blind them to the best interest of
\
| the public good.
A case to Illustrate: The county
treasurer had a small deposit in each
of the ten banks of the county, true
a very insufficient deposit compared
to what would be just and proper.
On the first of July every dollar of
these balances were checked out of
these banks in favor of a Lexington
bank when the treasurer's report
showed a large cash balance on hand.
This tax money is paid into the
treasury by the different sections of
the county and so long as this money
is kept in bank it is nothing more
than right and just that it should be
deposited in the banks serving the
community paying it in, so that it
can be loaned back to the same farmers
to make a new crop. Do you
' wonder at the new county talk. As
1 for us we are opposed to a new county
but we are in favor of a square
deal.
We repres.nt the Leesv ille-Bates(
burg section. We are not boasting
1 but stating a self-evident well known
, fact when we say this is the richest
1 and most populous section of the
county. We have two of the largest
towns in the county. Two railroads,
a net-work of telephone and tele,
graph wires and thousands of acres
of the most valuable farms in the
)
State. As a natural consequence
we pay a large part of the taxes of
the county. Are we getting a just
return for our money? We have
two good schools but we have voted
: many thousand dollars of bonds and
1 pay 8 mills special school tax. We
have many miles of beautiful sandclay
roads, but every foot has been
: built by Batesburg and Leesville
: and private subscription. The sec
tion south of us wouldn't know the
' chain gang if they would see it and
wouldn't know the supervisor if it
wouldn't be for election years. Are
i we right or are we wrong?

GEORGIA-CAROLINA FAIR 1
Augusta. Ga. Sept. 28?With only
six weeks intervening until the opening
of the Georgia-Carolina Fair
the officers and directors are busy ;
getting ready for a fall show which 1
will eclipse any previous one. There i
are reasons why the Georgia-Carolina
Fair, which will be held from
Nov. 6th to 11th inclusive, should
be bigger and better in every way
than ever before and eclipsing by
far even the magnificent show of
last year. This year the conditions
promise to be ideal. The farmers
are making splendid crops this year
in almost every locality in Eastern
Georpia anrt Western Cam.
Una, and with their pockets full of
money a person is much more likely
to become enthused over this Fall
Fair than if he had made a poor
crop and was barely doing more than
paying expenses.
The greatest one feature added to
the fair of 1911 will be the Corn
Show. From twenty five counties
of Georgia and South Carolina
there will be splendid corn exhibits
and a large portion of. the main fair
building has been set aside for the
Corn Show. The Corn Show will
be a free attraction, unlike at many
places where an admission fee is
charged to see these exhibits alone.
The Poultry Show, which is always
one of the best if not the best
attraction, at the entire fair, will be
better than ever this year for much
more space has been added to the
poultry building and the number of
birds this year will be much larger
than ever before. The visitors at
the fair last year were greatly impressed
with the splendid poultry
display and the news that it will be
better than ever this year is bound
to cause much pleasure.
The agricultural and li\estock exhibits
promise to be better than eve
before and the educational exhibit
of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture will be one of the most
interesting features of the fair.
A moving picture show put on by
the International Harvester CoinDanv
will show pvcru in
growth of corn and wheat from the
time that it is planted until the time
. la <r>frt rr?#?al and flour, will

than ever is coming back, while
there are many other high class
shows for the mid-way.
The racing this year will be splendid
and the Annual Football game
between the University of Georgia
and Clemson promises to draw a
much larger crowd than ever before
in the history of the annual clashes
between these two teams in this city.

THE TRI-COUNTY
FAIR.
The Advocate wishes to call your
attention to the approaching TriCounty
Fair. This institution has
done so much for the section that it
serves that we do not feel it necessary
to say much about it. But we
would apDeal to all our readers- to
attend and mat* ~c
? >* t(hv ?nilll/IUUU] U1
your products. Every one has produced
something in your household
or on your farm, that you are proud
of and that you should show
to others and tell them how you
made it. Mr. N. A. Bates, our most
successful and reliable fellow citizen
is prisident and this in itself commends
the Fair and the strongest
terms for Mr. Bates would not have
anything to do with it if it was not
a worthy cause. And too, he is
working hard early and late for the
Fair all out of love for his community.
Then we call on all of you to
do your part by patronizing his unselfish
efforts. Sit down now and
write a postal card to Mr. W. J. Mc
Cartha for a premium list. This is
no experiment but the past record
o^the Tri-County Fair is clean and
an honest success.
THE WOMEN'S MISSIONARY
JUBILEE.
The tiftieth anniversary of Woman's
Organized Work for Foreign
Missions will be celebrated in Charleston.
S. C., October 17 and 18,
1911.
Fifty years ago in the parlor of
Mrs. T. C. Doremus in New Xork,
where was organized the first woman's
missionary society to receive
a charter, the great missionary
movement was begun. Since then
tne work has grown steadily year by
year. In 1910, under the influence
of the wonderful book, "Western
Women in Eastern Lands,'* Mrs.
Henry W. Peabody, chairman of
the Central Committee on United
Study, conceived the idea ol a celebration
which should stretch from
"shore to shore and recount God's
12, 1910, and spreading across the
continent, have already been held in
: thirty of the largest cities of the
country, and in many smaller cities
as well.
This great Missionary Jubilee
should prove a wonderful factor in
i inspiring women to work together
1 for the interest of the church; and
j the earnest co-operation of every
woman is desired.
Irr.vr-denominational Mass Meet'
...mi u_ l.u i ?
i uiga ?i'j uc ncia iuesaayana Wednesday
evenings. Missionaries and
prominent speakers from Mission
Boards of the different churches
will be heard, and the finest voices in
the city will lead in a specially arranged
programme. A luncheon
during which there will be a number
: of informal addresses, will be served
on Tuesday morning.
One of the leading speakers of
the Jubilee will be Mrs. Helen Barrett
Montgomery, author of "Western
Women in Eastern Lands,"
former President of the Federation
of Clubs in New York state, a trustee
of Wellesley College, and a
brilliant lecturer and strong spiritual
leader.
The women of our city and state
' are earnestly asked to join in the
movement and to assist in making
ours the greatest missionary meeting
the South has ever known.
