Hon A. F. Hover stated in one of his speeches that he had seen many county fairs, but only one in his life that was ahead of this one. There were others who confirmed his statement. On the first day the attendance within the grounds was net so large. Tno second day and tho third saw immense crowds going in and out all of the time that the buildings were open. Friday, the last day came iu with wind and rain. This cut down tho crowd to a great extent, though the attendance uudor tho conditions was good even on the last day. Many who-had doubts about the success of the fair expressed themselves as being satisfied at last, and the general mass of the people have an awaUnnod int.nrnct. thai. 5a cnv>?> ? ? ?. ?...

They have goue back home knowing! more than they did before about the; resources and possibilities of this section of South Carolina. The fair has helped ti advertise Horry County, and tho results it will bring are impossible to estimate in dollars and, cents. Our Congressman J. W. Rag&dalo nnd Representative A.

They made speeches to a large an- ' dience at the court house on Thursday just before tho last II ght was made with the flying machine. Their speeches brought forth frequent, cheers. The people seemed especial ly pleased with the action ol Mr.' Ragsdale in obtaining the two naval I vessels for the fair, also for the interest that ho showed in the fair after he arrived here. rPk 1 1 \t wvk t ' rv wu xuuiouaj UI^IIII UJC1C VV its it lecture before the business men of the town 011 the subject of the cattle tick, There was a good attendance and plans were discussed for ridding the county of this pest, which in years past and at the present t me has prevented tho raiai. g of fine cattle in this section. What was said and done hero during the fair concerning the cuttle tick will no doubt result in getting the farmers rid of this trouble. There was nothing of more importance at 136 fair than tho frequent lectures by exports on the different agricultural subjects that are just now being kept, "before the public such as butter making, canning and preserving, the housing of livestock, the extermination of various pests to tho fruits and other crops, and many more things of grcal interest to the farmers. Many farm >rs heard . the lectures at the fair, and many learned much by it, The fair grounds wero open by day and the carnival company by night. Each night during ibe fair the people gathered in the fair grounds to havo a good time and t.hpv trpnpraliv h.wl ifc Thov rm>i and associated with each other, and the visitors to the fair left with a bitter feeling, and that kind of brctierly sympathy that spalls so much in the common interest and improvement, and mutual help b^ each for al\ Following is the premiums in the State Demonstration Department.

C., rHUl I III FLYER The Bird-man Engaged for the Fair Made Two Flights VIEWED BY IMMENSE CROWD V The Wright Type ' B" Heavier Than Air Flying Machine was a Drawing Card for the Fair,--Flights on but One Day Owing to Delay in Arrival Machine.--Hundreds of People saw This Daring Exhibition for the First Time. One of the features of the first annual fair held last week, was the flv I " " ing machine. Hundreds of people woro anxious to see that of which they had frequently read, and could hardly believe, that it was possible to navigate the air with a machine that is heavier than the element in which jt llowts. An aviator by the name of Robert b\>wler had been first engaged but he could not lill the contract. The contract was linanlly made with James M.Gabriel. Ho arrived hero on time to begin the flight* as they advoi tmed, but owing to delay on railroads, the machine did not come hera until Wednesday alternoon, too Ute to go up that day. With Gabriel came Charley Branhan the mechanician, and Eugene Helh, the skilled aviator of Birmingham, Mich. He made t/ o lights on Thursday, one in the morning aud oue in the evening, according to the program for that day. On each occasion the bird-man rtsw olT out of sight, came back aud circled over the town, then olT again and back to his lauding place at the court house grounds. The machine used was a Wright Ti??Ti * > ?: *u? ij . |; utui>, otjiti XJ , liUU operator and one pas tender if wanted. The machine co?t $3000,00, and was licensed for private use ouly, except upon payment of a royally tj the inventors when exhibited to the public, as it was here. To engage in the business one has not only to purchase and pay for the machiue. If he exhibits it to kho public the makers gel a portion of the proceeds It has to be carried over the railroads in a special car of suflident length to allow the Jmach ne to be put into the a ar it .he end, ai the large planes canno: be torn down without risk of ruining its adjustment.

C>nway had her first view of war vossels the middle of last week when the two torpedo boats, the Tingey, in charge of Lieut, lieywr.rd, and the Thornton, in charge of Ensign Lamont, came up the Waccamaw Uiver and docked at the wharves of the Waccamaw Line of Steamers. These boats were the center of a great deal of interest all of the time thai they remained. One of tho boats got hero late on Wednesday, the other arriyod by Thursday morning. Tho presence of tho boats here was due to the efforts of Hon. J. W. ft\w?d ale who unrlnrfcnnlr t. > h??ln I furnish amusoment and information at the first annual fair,of the Horry' County Fair Association. Through! the courtesy of Secretary Josephus Daniels, the boats wore turned over to him for the purpose of exhibition at the fair, and he accompanied the boats here from Georgetown and remained with them until they left to return to Charleston on last Saturday, This was the first time in the history of Conway and Horry County thai we were visited by war craft. Great pains were taken to explain tho working of the guns, especially the torpedos, to everybody who visited the boats. The inside workings aud the outside efl'ects of the giant torpedos appearing on the decks, were told over and over and ovor again. Many were surprised to learn that one of these torpedos cost the government $7000.00. Several parties arrived in Conway during tho week from Georgetown aud spent some time enjoying the sights at the fair. On Thursday night the ladies of the civic league of Conway wore invited to go oyer the boats. Quite a number of the members of ine league accepted the invitation and the occasion was a very pleasant one. Each of these boats is of 200 tons displacement, and they measure in length 175 feet, and in width 17.0 I feet, and draw five feet of water. Each has a speed of 25 knots, equal to about 27 1-2 miles, Tney are driven by twin scrosvs aud have three thousand horse power. Each of the boats carries two oflicers and thirty men. Several times the powerful search lights were turned on and tho working of them explained. The oflicers and men were found tj D? very pleasant people by those who mot them. The sailors took iu me rair ana thoroughly enjoyed it. TA. TE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County of Horry By J. S. Vaught, Esq,, Probate Judge.
