Greenwood, Oct. 13.-Special: On account of an apparent misunderstand ing as to the dates of the Piedmont Fair, th'" officers want lt distinctly understoju that the fair has been post poned from October 21-22 and 23 to October 28-29 and 30. The officers of the association decided to muke this change when it became known that the State fair has withdrawn all pre miums on live stock.

The program has not been arranged, nor caa it bo until a day or two beferc ?he beginning of the fair, but it Is certain to be such that each day's happenings will be very Interesting- ' There will bo horso racing cn t~z ci the days at least. Wednesday desig nated as "Agricultral and Industrial Day," and all exhibits in these de partments will be judged on this day. Thursday Is to be "Live Stock and Poultry Day," when all cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry will be Judged. Fri day ls to be "Agricultural Pay,, or a day given very largely to the schools and colleges. There will bo judging of saddle and harness classes on each of tho three days, since It will be Im possible to finish with these inter esting classes In less time Governor-elect, Hon. Richard I. Manning, has been Invited to be pres ent on tho opening day and he has expressed the hope that he may be here. The Piedmont fair will be held In Greenwood, but the exhibits to be re ceived are not confined lo Greenwood county: on the contrary, the follow ing fifteen counties will participate and on an equal basis: Anderson, Ab beville, Chester, Cherokee, Edgefleld.
