A CPfJNTy FAI*. The success attending the Jiorse show lost week proves couclusJTely what cajtj be accom plished by llie united efforts of our peopl) with the co-ope ration of our jioribern friends, yisitors tvnd resident*. Xt proves plaiuly tlmt^tUero is nothiug in the way of Camden and Kershaw county having a county fair association, the equal of any association of a similar character iu the state. This has been'a dream of ours for a number of years, a dream which now. seems possible of realisation. We have the peo pie, the money, the geographical position to warrant success, and we have the good will of ull in the venture. It has been sug gested to us that the next en* .tcrprise the people of Camden should direct their attention to be a dog show, or, to be more j?xuct, a bench show, this to bo followed by a poult ry show. We jfavor any thin*; that will attract jilteniiou our way, but we feci >is vitally interested in the wel /are of the county us we do in Ahat of the city as should be the /eeliug of all. A dog show, a ?K>ultry show or a horse show would all, or either of them be ?plondid advertisements for the <pity, but a Kershaw County Fair Association which would com ?>i?e ail these features and many .others, will result in greater |>aneflt to the whole people than Will any single feature. When ?we consider the tremendous im petus that would be given to ?toclc raising, the improvement jn methods of farming and the ^ood will that would be ebgon jlered among all classes of our people through the holding of pn annual fair, we cannot for the jlife of us see why we have al lowed other counties, not so .well ecjnjpped ns are we to out strip us. Tho initial expense of instituting a county 'fair associa tion will be so small as compared .with the results that will cer. tniuly follow as ngt to be worth inentioning. We want every Jxxly that hus the interests of ?he city and county at heart -to take this matter up with his picfghbor. |f all pull together there will be next fall, and sue feeding falls a county fair that will roitect credit upon all the ^promoters, DoTIiIh, Mr. Printer. Envelope printing by the {Sovsrnratnt concerns almost if not quite every employing prin ,ter in tho ynited JcUatcs, and the agitation to date to abolish this line of woijc will undoubtedly jirove effective if it fyc bacfceil up jit this time by tho trade at lar^o. fiet after ypur Congressman, /ind get after hipi as though you /neurit business.

We .could manage to keep a little jfrnlt after a fushiou, but a great deal of that was lost, and what A id keep wu& usually moulded ou top aqd always more or les^ in sipid. Jt was uext to impossible tp keep tomatoes, string beans, corn, beets, okra and. peas. TUen the Jtifrs were so costly that few would use enough of them -to have canned goods ou the table every day. Xl is very different now. We in get a canning outfit for a few dollars that will put up all these things just as they are canned in the large factories, only much cleaner uud'offlner quality, and the work is, com paratively speaking, a luxury. You do not have to handle the hot fruits in hot kitchen and screw on hot lids any more. Then you do not have to be care ful to keep the cans in the dark, freezing does not hurt them, and if ;you happen to put up more than you want to use your nier chant i? ready to buy them at paying prices. The cans do uot cost half us much, and you can get your can direct from manu facturer at wholesale prices. Wo never enjoyed all these privileges in using the old glass jars With one of these little can ning outfits anp family living on a farm or eveu if ihe? have a small plot of ground in town, can plant everything they like III large quatiLilies, and have plenty lor winter and early spring us well as summer. They are canned with ease, and every can will keep in the finest pos sible manner. It is a well proven fact that the goods put up in this way are the tinest in the world, as well us the cleanest. Our merchants and their customers are waking up to llio fact at hist and the day is coming very soon when the farmers in the South ern States will furnish every can of goods used and will reup all the prolits there is in theui. One great beauty in connection with the 11 Uter is that is not limited to ??.iy particular terri tory. I have traveled all over the entire South and have not found a place where a farmer could not raise vegetables and some kinds of fruit to put up. The bluck ground country in Texas comes nearer being with out fruits and vegetables than anywhere else I have been, but jl found those people more in terested in saving such us they could raise than anybody. 1 litre is another fact in re gard to the little outfits as com pared to other things we buy which is worthy of much con sideration. It is that you get your money back* so soon. Any good one will pay back every cent it cost in clear profit in one good full day's run. 1 have not been ablo to find any other farm implement that would do it. And J have not found one that affords ns good wugos for overv man, woman und child ou the place while using it. Wo put up IJfty three-pound cans a day for each person wo work, counting gatherers and nil. The profits on them is from 00 to $:i.00 according to quality. I cull that good wages. But that is for persons of no experience. When a person has worked at the busi ness a fow days th?y do much better, and continue to improve until they become export. Hut you will have to excuse me, this article is too long. I }bst couldt/t help it. My pur. pose is to so represent the mut ter to your renders that they may see some of its advantages, and all who really care to live better and enjoy the great privi leges lying at their dour can k?olf into it.?T.
