TDK BELTON PAIR
Tho Intelligencer desiree to take
thin opportunity to congratulate the
publie spirited citizens of Hi lton on
the splendid fair held there yesterday.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the put riot ht and unselfish way in
which these citizens responded to the
call for some of their time and of
their means to make possible the hold '
lug of a fair each year. Not many
communities in South Carolina, espe
cially this year, would have given of
their time and money as liberally UH
-was don? by the people of Helton to
give a one-day's fair. Hut this is the
Anderson county spirit, ns shown In
this section of the county. The splen
did new school buildings and church
es dotting the county from one side to
the other, is further evidence that thin
spirit exists.
Ono cannot but think what arc the
possibilities of a fair spirit such as
was evidenced at Helton yesterday.
Give these exhibitors a fair grounds
and buildings in which to hold their
fair, with accomodatlons for their
poultry, liv?? stock and farm products,
and there is no telling what can be
accomplished. The intelligencer would
like to see this fair spirit used and
held as it ls in enthusiasm und loy
alty to tho community. We realize that
it will bo hard to do thlB without a
permanent grounds and buildings,
and lt the good people will
pardon the presumption on the part
of The IuttMigencer, we would suggest
the organization of a fair association
with sufficient capital stock to acquire
grounds, erect buildings and equip
them for holding a fair worthy the
splendid support of' the people mak
ing this and former fairs such a BUC
oesB. Perhaps there ls someone who
will grant lease for long time on 12
to ,15 acres of land In or near town.
A capital stock of 15,000 wilt then be
ample for erecting commodious build
ings and stock pens for housing the
exhibits. Then let there be an entrnce
fee sufficient to pay at least the expen
ses of holding the fair.
While we are making suggestions as
to thia matter, we would not over
look that one relative to a great Pied
mont fair for Anderson and adjoining
counties. The location of this should
be at the county seat, but there need
ho no conflict in these two fairs. Let
the Belton fair continue to be hetd
jvery year as now, but earlier than
the Piedmont fair, so that the exhibits
may be brought on to the Piedmont
fair as la being done thia year in
.tending the exhibits to the State Fair.
H. ]*. GE EB
There was a note of sadness at Bet
on yesterday ca account of the fact
that Mr. H. M. Geer was not out
mingling with his friends and enjoy
ing tho splendid success of the fair,
which institution 1B very near and
lear to him. He has been one o', the
leading spirits in tho organization and
maintenance of this fair and has al
ways been one of Its foremost con
tributors and supporters. Though he
was lying on his bed, stricken by a
aevere malady and unable to sit up, lt
was reported that he yearned to bo
.\t the fair, and it was said that he
announced to his nurse that ho was
;otng to get up and go to tho fair
anyway. Out of respect for him, the
band did not play when marching
past the hotel, and the crowds that
thronged theistrcets wero a blt moro
quiet lt seemed than in other parts o?
.he city. Thousands of persons looked
ip sympathetically at the place, whero
ie la walting for the' restoration of
health, aud if the prayers of a people
jan restore him, his recovery will
he rapid and sure.
EDITOR WAS TOO BUST.
The absence of an editorial on the
cotton situation, and on the war in Eu
rope, may ie noticed in this issue of
The Intelligencer, but the truth of the
matter ia that we heve been too much
Interested In thc Helton fair to note
there is such a thing as an extra ses
sion of the legislature or a war in
Europe. And there seemed to be about
.en thousand people In Belton yester
day of the same opinion. Anyway the
people of Anderson county are Just a
hit too busy lo continue to bother with
'hese foreigu questions much longer,
now that the "new" has woru off. The
only discussion of thia matter we
heard yesterday was when going to
Belton on the train a young farmer
remarked that In his opinion the far
mers were In a blamed eight better
condition, or would be alx months
from now than many small merchante
and business men would be. He said
tbey were not going to starve, and In
six months they would have another
crop ready for tho market, and that
!s his section th? farmers were plant
ing more email grain than ever before.
We thought: "Young roan, you are a
philosopher of th? right kind. May
your tribe Increase." How can you
defeat such optimism as this? And
what ts the use to editorialize such
thinkers?
Useful Game.
"European .golf courses on account
of the war,' are being planted to po
tatoes."
"A game approximating galf might
be evolved. Twosomes . end four
somes could go around the course
with hoes."

SECOND DAY OF GREEN
VILLE CONVOCATION
AUXILARY WORK
Celebration of The Holy Euchar
ist Marked Opening of the
Morning Session.
The first meeting of the Woman's:
auxiliary of tho Episcopal church,
for thia district, was held yesterday
morning with Grace church in An
derson In connection with the Green
ville convocation.
The celebration of the Holy Euch
arist, conducted by Rev. J. Haller
Glhhony, rector of Grace church,
and assisted by the Dea nof the con
vocation. Rev. A. Pl Mitchel), marked
the opening of the day's exercises.
Mr. Gibbony spoke on tho subject,
"Wc Would See Jesus." and although
lila address was brief it made a
great impression upon tho audience.
Following the conclusion of this
service the auxiliary was called to
order by the president of the regu
! lar order of business wai begun.
I The body was welcomed to Grace
ihurch hy .Mr. Gibbony and a similar
welcome was delivered on the part
of the dean in behalf of the convoca
tion.
A few preliminary remarkB wore
made by the president of the auxil
iary and the opening announcements
were made, following which the ques
tion of how an adult auxiliary class
?should bc conducted was taken up
and discussed at length. This proved
to be quite a feature of the morning
service as did the discussion yester
day alternoon along the same line,
relating to the manner in which to
conduct the class for children.
Following tho conclusion oj.' the
morning service yesterday, members
of the auxiliary were entertained at
1:30 o'clock at a delightful luncheon,
tendered them at the home of Mrs. R.
C. Webb. This was a very pleasant
Jeature of the occasion.
The afternoon session was full of
interesting discussions and every
member present gained some help
ful and valuable knowledge from the
suggestions and Ideas advanced by
other members.
One of the decided features of the
.lay for thc Women's Auxiliary was
the annual sermon, preached to that
body last night by Rev. Charles W.
3oyd. rector of the Church of Our
Saviour, of Rock Hill. Mr. Boyd, is
one of tho best known ministers in
the State and ho has a wide reputa
tion as an able speaker. He is a pul
dt orator of real ability and his et
on last night was pronounced a
?ii ist er piece. Mr. Boyd. dealt at
length on the work being dono by the
members of the auxiliary and he
complimented tho earnest, workers on
what they are accomplishing.
Tho sermon last night wus attend
ed by a large number of visitors, as
veli as Episcopal ians, and Dr. Boj***
address was very interesting to them
all.
The people of the city are taking a
great interest in tho proceedings of
the body now in session and are at
tending all of the services open to
'he nub!ic.

"With? our splendid climate, length

WW. EDITOR:
The present conditions, growing
jut of tile low pri?e- of cotton-and
he problems which thone conditions
present, bring to my mind a conver
sation I had once with ?fol. W. S.
?Mekens. a fine old citizen of our
county, unknown perhaps to the pres
ent general inn. but well known to
and respected by thoso of older
years.
We were sitting one day on his
piazza when tho conversation turned
on tho situation which oo?nfrontetl,
Lito country at the close of tho Civil
War: a condition well known! to both
Df us, ns we bad lived through it.
He remarked that he discovered soon
after the war that the people had
gone wild on the subject of planting
cotton. Thereupon he determined
that he would raise what his neigh- j
hors did not. So he planted corn,
wheat, oats and peas, and raised pigs,
eoltB, sheep and cattle. He always
had something to . sell which his
neighbors didn't have-and so bc
prospered---while his neighbors who
planted cotton had hard Ihnes.
Tim lesson is obvious. It may seem
an Imncrtinence on riiy part to be
advising the farmers what they
should do-hut I thought, that, per
haps, this object lesson )n.ight be
ot some value.
