HORRY COUNTY FAIR
Miss Ida Moore Writes a Very Interesting
Letter About County
Fair
Those interested in a county fair
for Horry will be glad to learn that
definite plans have been formulated
for organizing an association* The
committee appointed for this purpose
were greatly encouraged by the
timely visit of Mr. L. 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

111 E BOARD -
D. V. Richardson and W. C.
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.

SEVERAL DIFERENT STATEMENTS
None of Them Correct in Regard to
Cases of Pfomair.e Poisoning .
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.
