L. Baker, district agent for eastern South Carolina in the Farmer's Co-operative Demonstration Work. His splendid suggestions were heartily approved of by the committee. The plan for the fair provide for - -a -a - ^ i_ and its success aepenus upon me cooperation of the farmers and business men of every section of the county. The women, too, are to have u large share in its success As soon as possible a mass meeting of the citizens of the county will be called and the plan of the committee presented for consideration. At this meeting a permanent organization will be effected. As this fair will be educational and agricultural in character and will exist for the benefit of the public, it is the duty of every citiz3n to lend his aid to its advancement. II you have the good of your community at heart you will attend the mass meeting and get in touch with the movement at once. The time and place of the meeting will be announced later. In reading over a pamphlet on fairs sometime ago I came across this statement: 4'Most county fairs are not farmer's fairs, and larmers hftvp no authoritv in the manage meat of them. Now, the most of the men in Horry are farmers and those who are not farmers are depending directly on the farmer. An agricultural fair in Horry should be a farmer's fair and farmers must bo strongly represented in its management if it is to do all the good it should do in developing all sections of the county. At this busy season of the year, time and euergy given to any work outside of the regular farm work will be a sacrifice for the farmer. But when we think of the benefits which will grow out of a well organized county fair, no sacrifice is too great to make for such an enterprise. What the fairs mean i*i other counties in this state and in the counties of cth er states, it will mean to our own, Horry. It will mean diversified farming, improved stock, hogs and poultry, better farm implements, better roads, more attractive and better kept farms and farm homes and more intelligent people in Horry County. Besides this it will advertise the wonderful possibilities of our soils and raise the price of our lands In this sbort article it is not possible to mention all of the ? L.m/\ rlinnlfl lintrn o /miin. reusuiltt wujr WO OUUUIU HUTU t* wuii ty fair. Again the fair is to be educational, that is it will be a school fair as well as a farmer's fair. It will then ba the duty of the teachers of the county to organize for the purpose of cooperatibg with the fair manage moot. In Virginia they hold fortyfour county school fair: ? Al.|of the schools come together and exhibit the work of the children in all the departments of life. The Corn Club boys and the girls of the Gardening and Canning Clubs also take part. They have athletic contests, spelling matches, recitations, contests in corn raising, tomato raising, the making of bread, butter, candies, cakes, preserves and cantied goods, and in wood work, needle work, etc. All of these things brought together in a well orde red display are of greet educational and social value. This feature of the fair will encourage cooperation between the parents, the children and the teachers. The purpose of the fair may be expressed ia the words of Dr. E, O. Watson in speaking of the Industrial iSchpol. The purpose is to make farm life more Inteligent, more profitable and more attractive. Any one who is acquainted with the his tory of our county deplores the fact that so many of the people arc leaving the country to move to towu, They are o;ter^sacrificing good couu try homes in order that they may find better schools and churches and ? ? ? frx M lliniM nUSIrlfnn BUUini auvnuna^cis iut ?uou uuuvnuu, The faruis are being neglected and the price of the lands in these sec tions is going down. The General Education Board through the U. S.

Hooks, Appointed UNDER ACT OF LEGISLATURE < 9 _ Act was an Amendment to Older Stai tute, and Now the Governor Has Nothing: to do With it, so far as < Horry is Concerned,?New Members Qualified Last Tuesday for Business. The new county board composed of supervisor A. U. Murrell, and the ( two new commissioners, Messrs. D. V, Richardson and W. C. Hooks, < met at the court house last Tuesday , morning, duly qualified for the trans j action of business, and proceeded to j attend to the important matter of ; borrowing money for the purpose of < running the county as usual until the collection of taxes. The now , board will not audit any of the num , erous claims now in the office unpaid, uutil the first meeting in April, but at that time every claim will be audited, and the business of ; the office will be cleaned up. The new board did not go in under any commission from Governor RlAAfca When Messrs. Richardson and Hooks were flr 3t recommended by the delegation in the Legislature, 1 he appointed them, but on the next 1 day refused to commission them. Lven then the business of the office had been neglected for months. Our members of the General Assembly, at once set about to provide another law taking this appointment out of the hands of the governor. They accordingly amended section 938 of the code of laws, so as to provide that in Horry County, the twocoun- 1 ty commissioners shall be appointed { by the Circuit Judge at the first * term of the court in each year and 1 if not practicable at the first term, 1 then by the Judge of the 12th cir- 1 cuit at his chambers, this appoint- ' inent to be made upon the recom- * mendation of the members of the 1 General Assembly, foreman cf the v grand jurv and sheriff, or a majority 1 of them. Under this new act, Messrs Richardson and Hooks were recommended and Judge Shipp appointed them last Saturday night at Florence. On Tuesday upon filing the nrHpr of t.he iudce and the bonds of the new members, the board was all present and ready for business. ' ' Killed by Filing Tree.

Several different suvtments went the rounds last week concerning the cause of the poisoning of members of the family of Mr F. A. Burroughs, none of which stalments, upon investsgation prove to bo true. The Herald published an account which seemed to indicate that the cause may have been duo to zinc, w'?th which some of the shelves, as was stated, had been linoi, this information coming to tho paper from what it believed to be a perfectly reliable source. Upon investigation it appears that this could not have caused the trouble, as it is known that ptomaine poisoning cannot arise from metals or miuorals in contact with meat, because if this were to occur it would be a mineral poison, and not ptomaine poisoning. It was stated by Dr. H. H. Burroughs the attending physiciau, that the poison in the meat which was eaten, in his opinion camo about by reason of the hot sultry weather, aud the dampness of the atmosphere at the time it was prepared. He also stated that the existence of this poison in food, cou.'d not be detected by any of the senses before eating as it would not change tho taste, look, or smell when first affected. It is also well known that these poisons occur in foods, such as meat, icecream, and other things, without the fault of any one who prenarAs thorn, and the causa is prim arily from a germ which cannot be seen with the natural eye, and these poisons are dangers against which no one can guard, to any great extent, and this will be the ease until science advances further in the discovery of the exact causes and predisposing conditions leading to the creation of these poisons in foods. Any statment which has been made that any person was to be blamed in the unfortunate cases last week is absolutely false, and wo have written this at some leugth to give a correct s*alment concerning the matter so fas as possible and put at rest the dilTerent stories that were told concerning it.
