BufTkin was among the visi tors to Uonway recently! try exhibits are wonderful both from the standpoint of variety and size and looks. To know what the second annual fair is like, will require that you visit it before it is over. To give the name of each exhibitor and the kind and class of the things exhibited would fill this paper from cover to cover, almost. It is only possible to give you some idea of what it is in this general way. Just as we did last year we shall endeavor to publish in our issue of next week the names of all those who win prizes. The main entrance to the fair is about the middle of 4th Avenue near the rear end of the Horry Tobacco Warehouse. As you enter the farmers warehouse containing the exhibits is on the left while in front and beyond the building in the open space prepared for that purpose are the carnival shows.

C., THURSDAY OC GOHON WAREHOUSE WILLJ ERECTED EXPECTED TO BE FINISHED AND USED AT LITTLE RIVER WITH IN THIRTY DAYS. A FLOURISHING SCHOOL Ocean Fisheries Had Bad Luck This Year,?Canning Company Doing Well,?Advises Cutting Cotton Acre age,?Other Live News. Little River, S. C., Oct. 11.?Announcement was made two weeks ago that Stone Bros., Company would build a cotton storage warehouse to hold at least one thousand bales. They have commenced the erection of the building and will have it ready within the next thirty days, possibly sooner. They are also buying and paying ten cents per pound for lint cotton, this is to their customers, who should i feel grateful to them in paying ten cents. The paying of ten cents for cotton by Stone Bros., places Little i.. fV.- '?"" * ?- TJ.... ~ T> 1 vjh.1 in me v*^n tcut, ur Duy-a-Duiu Club. These people deserve much credit for this and their customers should pay them promptly. Ten cents is a fair average for lint cotton. The Warehouse is for the benefit of the public. Of course they will have to pay for storage and insurance should any one wish to use it. The Little River Graded School opened its fall term on Monday, Sept. 14th. We noticed quite a lot of new pupils and think this will be one of its banner years. Miss Essie Cox, of Vox S. C., is the principal, with Miss Dessie Gilmore, of Holly Hill, S. C., as assistant teacher. Miss Gilmore has a class of Music pupils. This is a new department and we are glad to see it. We think the Trustees made a wise selection in getting Misses Cox and Gilmore. The Ocean Fisheries have caught but few fish this season. The up coun try wagons who make this annual pilgrimage to the beach for fish are much disappointed and are returning without them. The Bank of Little River seems to be in a flourishing condition, yet we don't think it assists the farmers as it should. We notice that the Banks of other towns are always ready to meet the farmers, or any one else who can put up the proper collateral, and at times do more than their part to aid a worthy customer. No one can wish this Bank any more success than the writer. I only state this that the of nciais may tninK over tne matter ana ponder wisely. The Little River Canning Co., I have learned, will start up November 1st. This Company puts up one of the finest grades of oysters the writer has ever eaten. It has orders ahead to keep it running the entire sason, which extends to April 15th, 1915. We see no cause why the cotton acreage cannot be cut fifty per cent. This, I think, will give the desired effect, or let the Legislature enact law or laws to allow only eight acres to the mule or horse, as the case may be. Then penalize all over that acreage. I think this would be sufficient. Brother farmer, you had better look out for another year, plant grain crop of all kinds, potatoes, peanuts, avoid too much tobacco, it will be low another season. Remember over production is to be avoided in thi& as well as cotton. I have seen the very best tobacco sell for less than ten cents, and that in the best belt of North Carolina,, the bright leaf tobacco section. We don't want too much legislation and talk, what we need is assistance of a positive nature ahd that at once. "Old Isaac."

ALFORD. 1 p FLORENCE SENDS BANKER c J. W. McCrown Preparing to Take o Trip to Seek Aid in Cotton Crisis, f Florence, Oct. 4.?Senator J. W. McCown, who is also president of the FiVst National Bank here, is preparing to take a trip to Washington to see if it is not possible to arrange for some aid to be given to the banks and " through them to the farmers in this \ section. The emergency currency is ( of very little aid to the farmers in this a community. There are few national banks in this part of the State and n t still fewer that have a surplus. Senator McCown estimates that $150,000 is the extent of the possible of cur- c rency in this territory. The First c National bank can get $75,000 of this, n and has already gotten and put in 1 circulation about $.'15,000 of that 0 amount and is now impatiently wait- a ing on the printing of the additional 11 notes that is due to it. Marion and ^ t' Bennettsville can get a little of this . money, but not much. Most of these ^ banks, and practically all of the State banks, nave lent to the very utmost of their credit and are under strain. They could not borrow any more if money were to be had, as the law now ^ stands, and the people arc still begging for loans to carry on their business and save their cotton crop. The n emergency currency can not help Horry, Georgetown, Williamsburg, & fx i i r i . mi. ~ uarungton or aee counties, i nere its no way, under the present law, that can come in for even a little bit of *( relief. Mr. McCown will probably press on the department that a deposit he made in some central bank in this sec- tl tion of hanks, and that depositors ho E authorized to make deposits in other V banks throughout the community, so d that money can be had to gather and gave the cotton. Fair building Will be Open at Night. a The building1 containing the exhib- ,,( its at the Horry County Fatr will he open Wednesday and Thursday nights 0 from 8 to It) o'clock. This is done so as to give those who are not able to vv go to the Fair in the day time a ?>. chance to go at night, 3 vail IACK GBIBB DEAD BY BLOW ON HEAD :eported as received at jordanville last monday , WAS MILL HAND I'kntKni* T I-I A Lltiorvtl Cta>no1> " a>? ?iivi ? * a x > | rv iiiouii till 111 n III Self Defense or by Accident Has Not Been Definitely Learned,?Coroner Called for Inquest.

The farmers all over our State are nvited and urged to attend the exhibtion on Bird Protection in the Agriultural Building during the State '"air, October 26-30. This exhibit is the first of the kind ver held in this State. It is under the uspices of the National Association f Audubon Societies in co-operation /ith the Bird Committee of the Fedration of Women's Clubs.

Some of the results of hese investigations will be shown by ictures, charts and publications. Ow ng to their feeding habits most birds ire of immense value to farmers, therefore, birds should be protected. A resident hunter's license law afords one of the best means of bird trotection. This is taught by the exicrience of other States possessing uch a law. One of the greatest enemies of bird ife is the common cat. A place will xe given to the cat in this exhibit, ''here will be display of models of ractical bird houses and boxes which an be constructed for a few cents.
