The Intelligencer desires to take this opportunity to congratulate the public spirited clllzenu of Belton on the sp?en?id*%il^ held there yesterday Too much cni'qot be said In praise of the patriotic and unselfish way in w'jicti these citizens responded to the [ call *for some of their time and of their .means to make possible this hold {\ ing of a fair each. year. Not many communities' in South Carolina, espe cially this year, would havo given of their time and mmey as libsraliy ss was done by 'the y*oplo of Belton to [?ive a one-dty'e fair. But this is the Anderson county spirit, as shown in this section of the coupty. The spies* did'new school* buildings and church-.' ?S dotting the county from one side to t? other, is further evidence that this | BP? exists. ??i cannot but think, what aro the possinuties of a fair spirit such as was evidenced at Belton yesterday. Olve th?s exhibitors a fair grounds | and bullomgs In. which to hold their fair, with acomodstlOtts for their poultry, llv?Vjpck and farm products, and there iO% telling What can be accomplished,*T%^ Intelligencer would like to see this mir spirit; used and held as it is in eayiusiaSm and loy alty to the communrV We realise that it will be hard to a%thls without a] permanent grounds .jVd buildings, and if th? gdod%oplo will pardon the prcsumption%n. the part l^of The intelligencer, we wflud suggest the organization of a fair ?sociatlon with sufficient capital stock t\acqulre grounds, erect buildings thorn for holding a fair worttfr the] splendid support of the' people ing this and former /airs such a \> cos?, Perhaps there is someone wn| will grant lease for long- time on 1 to^6 acre?rof land in or near town. A capital stock of $5,000 will then be ampin -tot Aseuilng commodious build ings and stock pens for housing, the exhibits. Then let there be an entracel feo sufficient, to pay .at least the axpes-'l Sex of holding the fair. ; I Whllo we are making suggestions as I to this matter, we would not over look that one relative to a great Pied* mont fair for Anderson and adjoining les. The location of this should be. at. th? county seat, but there need be no 't^^'^.^^^M fair*.

The president" is thoroughly ' a Southerner.,Heftkccw^ tee South from early association and environment Ho began his career in the South, and the woman whose death was so uni versally mourned a feVureeks ago. he wooed and wed In the Booth. He bas nothing of the narrow . prejudices against th? South that have charac terized'some of the national leaders, even within the Democratic party. Born and reared as ho was, it would have been impossible for him to^iavo formed 'such prejudices. I : '. The Southern people are his own. It was ihey who made possible! bis nomination for the high honor that be holds* In Baltimore la 1912. Ho se lected a largeri proportion of his cab inet from the-South than has any other president eince feeling between the sections was divided over tbo old questions. TW eV^ence Is unmistak able that the presidentiovca the South more than h? dares to express in bis present position, for fear that be may be called .sectional and narrow. Likewise, he understands the ,'un fortunate conditio^ in which the cot ton states find themselves as a resultf of the war in Europe. He knows, as few in public lifo other than Southern congressmen know, Just how hard is the: lot of the small cotton farmer, ami..how blue is the prospect before! hint.
