*0UR COUNTY FAIR
FOR UP-BUILDING
Should be Educational and En^
tertaining by all Means at
Hand
INTENTION IS TO
* EDUCATE AND ELEVATE
1 K
Different Things That Should
be Done to Make the
t
J Fair Right.
The county agricultural fair is, at
least nominally, held for the upbuildg
ing of agriculture and to lead up to
such ideals as will elevate, inspire,
educate and broaden the thought and
activities of the rural people. There is
a decided tendency among the promoters
of many county fairs to make
them what they should be?truly agrfcultural.
A good fair is one that entertains
<lnd educates. It must do both. It
should be an agricultural exhibition
essentially; also fundamentally useful
to intelligent, practical farmers and
their families. It may also be made
entertaining in the highest sense.
People will attend a fair if thnm ie
anything interesting and beneficial
worth going to see. There re many
^ways to make it so, among ?nem:
Appoint directors and superintendents
because of their vvj....gness to
work, ability to accomplish results,
and not to fill honorary positions.
Exclude all morally objectionable
side shows, all gambling devices, all
catch-penny swindlers, and all venders
of worse than useful trash.
Offer liberal, well-proprtioned prizes
for the best exhibits of farm, orchard,
and garden products; also afford
exhibitors every reasonable facility
to make exhibits attractive.
Offer properly classified prizes for
the best live stock and poultry shown,
and arrange as far as possible, adequate
means for their care and protection
and for inspection by visitors.
Offer substantial prizes for the best
farm exhibit by farmers' clubs, organizations,
or divisions in the county.
Offer liberal prizes for exhibits of
cooking, sewing, painting, etc., by
ladies, and furnish the best place possible
for their display.
Provide a snecial denartmont for
the use of the agricultural college and
^experiment station that they may
show graphically and otherwise the
different soil types of the county with
suggested fertilizers, crop rotations,
grasses for hay and pasture, pinning
and spraying of orchards and gardens,
specimens of weed and seeds and insect
pests, rations for different classes
oi live stock, models and cost of constructing
silos, barns, farm and home
conveniences, domestic science, and
art.
Induce the county superintendent
and State Department of Education
0 to make an exhibit of model school
m houses, equipment, and grounds, and
display handwork done by pupils in
,.V the public schools of the county. Also
tr to take one day and call it "School
day." Orations and essay contests
can be put on, subjects to be farm and
farm-life topics. An athletic contest
between the schools of the county
could he held.
Have a special arrangement of sanitary
arrangements, appliances, reports,
tables, and charts by the county
and State boards of health.
Provide facilities for daily lectures,
illustrated and otherwise, on farm and
home life, sanitation, and public wel
fare. Demonstrations by individuals,
boys and girls in club work, organizations,
and So on.
Allot apace for the exhibit of the
county man and woman agents in
f(Hrm and home demonstration, boys'
and girls, club work.
Conduct plowing, team pulling, corn
Judging, stock judging, and other
farm contests on the grounds for
men and boys.
Induce manufactures cf machinery,
cement, dynamite, farm , and home
^equipment, to exhibit their product
and demonstrate the same.

WIDOW GRAINGER
HAS PASSED AWAY
Died Suddenly From Attack of
Acute Indigestion at Her
Home Here.
Mrs. Charlotte Grainger died very
suddenly at her home here on Thursday
of last week. She had reached an
advanced age and reared a large family.
She was apparently well at break
fast and ate the meal as usual. A little
later she was prostrated by an attack
of acute indigestion and only lived
a few hours.
She was the widow of the late
Daniel Grainger who lived near Homewood
in this county and held the office
of Magistrate for many years. He
was known as one of'the best magistrates
in Horry County in his day.
She was about 54 years of age. She
is survived by six children. She died
at the resid'/ice of her daughter, Mrs.
Willie Roberts here. She was a faithful
member of the Missionary Baptist
Church. The remains were laid to
rest at the Thompson Graveyard, near
Maple Church.
GERMAIUM PORTERS
NOW WANT COTTON
Are Witttng" to Pay Fifteen
Cents a Pound For
Staple.
Washington.?Senator Hoke Smith
n % ? 1
ui vjeorgia nas announced tnat he has!
received a cablegram form Baumanwall
Import Gesellchaft, at Berlin,!
stating that guarantees to take a million
bales of American cotton at 15
cents a pound to be used exclusively
for civil purposes in Germany had
been deposited with the American consul.
GERMANGOrrONMEN !
ARE ANXIOUS TO BUY
German cotton men are taking up
earnestly the plan to purchase Ameri-1
can cotton. They ser^t a wireless to'
the German consulate in New York
August 31, offering to buy 1,000.000 j
bales at 15 cents per pound on delivery!
in a German harbor. The message
was signed by the Deutsche Dresdner
and Disconto Bank of Berlin, and the
National Bank of Bremen.
Offer prizes for the largset delegaganizations
of the county.
Arrange a scries of floats represent
ing county historical events and so on. J
Have a parade of prize-winning live
stock once daily.
Let there be racing, driving and rid
I I
ing, but no betting. The horses should
! I
as far as possible, bo local and bo driv-j
j en or ridden to show the fastest or1
tions sent bv the various farmers' or-1
best in the county.
Have plenty of good music, such
as bands and choruses.
Locate .several vest rooms, with
chairs, cots for sickness and children,
water, tPilet, etc., where they will be;
easy of access.
Advertise the fair and news concerning
it widely and continually, by
means of the public press of the county,
catalogues, posters, stickers, etc.
Got the working cooperation of
teachers, preachers, farmers, mor-j
chants, bankers, lawyers, doctors and
other business men to boost, popular-!
ize, and solicit the preparation of*|
something to exhibit by their farmer
f riends.
Do everything possible to develop
friendly community spirit and rivalry.
The county fair if rightly organized {
offers the mass of farmers in a district
one of the best means of tjseful instruction,
inspiration, and entertainment.
Any sudden or radical change
of methods of conducting some fairs
would probably bankrupt them. The
most needed reforms should be g "dual,
determined, but constant, until the
ideal educational fair is reached.

TUESDAY'S ELECTION j

run rnuMMMUN
State of South Carolina Goes
Dry by Large Majority
As Reported.
News reaching here form Charleston
and Columbia late last Tuesdaynight
and early Wednesday morning
shows that the State of South Caro
Ima has cast a large majority tor prohibition.
The polls were opened at all
of the precincts in the State at 8
o'clock last Tuesday morning in the
prohibition referendum provided by an
act of the Legislature last Winter.
The purpose of the act was to find
out how the voters stand on the liquor
question, so that the next session of
the Legislature may pass laws agreeable
thereto if it sees fit. As a result
of the election, for prohibition the dispensaries
in fifteen counties of this
State will be wiped out after January
1st, 191G. The election last Tuesday
does not affect the present law which
allows shipments of liquor into this
State at the rate of a gallon a month
to each consignee, and the dispensaries
will run on in the dispensary counties
for the rest of the year.
The latest news from over the
State, nearly a!J of the counties having
been heard from, gave the figures
as follows: >,
For Prohibition 33,4fid
Against Prohibition 3 4,345
Majority For Prohibition . . . 19,120
A?! ENDORSEMENT
FOE THIRD im
Washington.?President Wilson has
declined to allow Democrats in New
Jersey, his home state, to endorse him
for another term because he feels that
it might seem as though he was talc
ing advantage of the international situation
to gain some personal advantage.
o
Large Ginnery Installed.
Sevei al wagons were loaded here
last Thursday with the big new ginnery
machinery purchased by Air.
George J. Holliday for his business at
Jordanville. The new machinery is of
the suction type and will turn out
twenty bales of cotton per day. The
new installation will bo made at once
in time to handle the present crop of
cotton. The ginnery formerly operated
by Air. Holliday at Jordanville was
lost by fire some time last year.

COUNTY OF HORRY
VOTES FOR DRY
With All But Few Precincts
Heard From, Small Major.
ity For Prohibition.
Reference to the table appearing in
this paper shows the vote on prohibition
at all but a few of the precincts
on last Tuesday. According to this
the majority for prohibition is small;
It is uncertain as to how the missing
precincts went, but it is not thought
that reports from them will change the
result, though the majority for prohibition
will still be very small. It is
quite plain that very few of the voters
of this county took any interest in the
election. Most of the voters remained
at home and did not even go to the
polls. The largest vote was cast at
Conway: The voting started early.
A committee of ladies atten / m! the
polls at Conway with plenty of ice
water, and their influence no doubt
had something to do with the majority
that Conway gave the cause of prohibition.
ROBBED BEE HIVE
OF WIDOW LADY
Unknown persons, on Wednesday
I night of last week, on route No. two I
| leading out from Galivants Ferry, S.
; C., carried off a bee hive belonging to
Mrs. Emory Strickland, killed the bees
4herein, and then took out and carried
off the honey. The thieves went near
the place in a buggy. Signs were
j found showing they had changed the
washers on the buggy from metal to
leather to deaden the sound of the vehicle.
This buggy was tracked from
a church about four miles away where
i a protracted meeting was in progress
at the time. Then the tracks wore followed
to a house from which it is believed
the act originated.
I
Q
In relation to the removal of the
railroad tracks from Main Street, it
is understood that the railroad company
has frequently offered to tear
i up the track and rebuild it at a different
place if the people of the town will
furnish the new right of way. This
being* the case it ought to be easy to
! get the tracks removed. Everybody
.vould iike to* see the railroad tracks
i out of the principal streets of the
town. There is an easy way to do it
if somebody will got interested and
make the proper arrangements.

FLOYDS TOWNSHIP
FOR GOOD ROADS
A Plan to Have a Good Road at
The Private Expense of
Parties.
Last year when we voted on the
question of issuing bonds for the purpose
of building roads there were a
good many who objected to bonds saying
that they had rather get together
and build them without voting a debt
on to be paid by their children. Now
it is up to us. We can't sit still and
show to the public that we were in favor
of neihter or we can put our shoulder
to the wheel and help the work
along. Messrs. E. M. Mears and W. C.
Hooks are going ahead with the work
with what help they can get. They began
last Monday morning at the
Nichols bridge and are claying as they
come and are doing good work making
a good road out of one which was given
up to he the worst road in the county
if not in the State and are doing it
at a cost of about $7.50 a mile by the
people furnishing the team and wagons
to do the hauling. They are going
to try to have it completed to Floyds
cross roads by the first of October,
but it depends on the help they get
where they succeed or not.
Now this is a work that helps every
one who ever travels over the road
and every one who hauls a load of tobacco
or a load of guano ought to help
in this work. Let's don't stand back
and say: "Hurrah, boys," and let a
few do the work and when the work
is done come along and brag about
what good roads we have. If we all
will only pull together we can build
the road and no one will ho hurt So
come along with your team any day
in the week and haul clay, or send a
check for $5 or $10 or as much more
as you can or are willing to give.
A record will he kept of all work
done or money paid so when the work
is done everybody can know who did
it. Now there is not a farmer in at
least one half of Floyds township and
a part of Green Sea township who can
afford not to have his name on that
list.
GOOD ROADS.

He was advised by his companion not
