II Will ho hold this year sonic time in the that part of November, probably during the first week, hut it is yet unknown how long it will last, At tbo last meeting of the ladles in terested, the matter of having it dur ing the County Fair was discussed, hut no doflnite plans were made to that effect. It was pjointed out at (be meeting that a large number of people w,ould he here that day who would have to have dinners anyhow and who. unless such conveniences were provided, would probably go Without. It was also pointed out that as in many other couuty fairs, the dower exhibit could be made a very important part of tbo fair itself sind would prove quite a drawing card for *he ladies of the county, for the plans of the county fair organizers do not call for anything especially appealing to the ladies.

IN MEMORIA M. TJlUnn Virginia Bolt?-Aged 22 years Bled May 24. "Another hand Is beckoning us, Another call is given; Aim glows once more with Angel stops Tlio path which reaches Heaven." In the sweet morning time of her useful, beautiful life, gentle lovely Lil lian Holt was called to "lay down the cross and wear the crown." Tons who can anly "see through a glass darkly" it was most mysterious, most pathet ic. She had chosen the noble, unsel lish life of a trained nurse; last fall received her diploma and entered up on regular service. At the post of duty, beside the sick bed of a patient she was nursing in Columbia, she be came ill and was taken to the hospit al. All that the splendid skill of fine surgeons and the tender ministration of trained nurses and her devoted family was done for her, but in vain; her life work was done. After four weeks of Intense suffering she was called "up higher." She loved her work and wished to recover, but realizing that this could not be, calmly placed her hands in Iiis, who takes from death Its sting and the grave its victory; all was well with her. Her remains were brought to her home in this city and her classmates of three years ago all robed In white followed the hearse as honorary pall bearers. 11 or young cousins were the active pull-bearers: Allan Burksdale, Laurens Burksdale, Clyde Franks, Clyde Fowler, Hoyee Clardy ami Tom Bolt. The beautiful burial services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Edwin Thayer and her favorite songs, Abide with me. Sweet Peace, and Shall we Gather at. the River, were sung by members of tbo choir from the differ ent (lunches. Then the low red mound was covered with the sweet (lowers of the May-time. "Wo miss her in the place of prayer And by the hearth-fire's light; We pause beside her door to hear Once more her sweet 'Good night.' Alone unto our Father's will One thought hath reconciled; That He, whose love exceedetl) ours Hath taken Home His child. Fold her, oh Father! in Thine arms And let her hence forth be A messenger of love between Our human hearts and Thee." POLNTKRS FOR TUB MOTORIST. The I in par ta nee of Repairing Small Cuts in Lin elopes. To secure the best possible service from his tires, the motorist must care for them properly and nothing is of greater importance than prompt re palring of small cuts In the treads. It is Impossible to avoid these cuts as small stones and other sharp ob jects are bound to come in contact with the tread. Sometimes these cuts are small and seem Insignificant but damage results from neglecting them. In fact, unless repaired promptly they will eventually bring about the com plete destruction of the envelope. Stones, dust and dirt work in and un der the tread, raising blisters and separating the rubber from the can vas. Moisture also gels in and quick ly rota the fabric and dls-integratlon follows. Immediately on discovery of cuts the edges and interior should be thor oughly < leaned with gasoline, separat ing the edges with a match or small slick to expose the inside. All foreign matter must be removed and when the cut Is porfoctly clean, the interior and edges should be coated with cement. After allowing the lirst coat to dry, apply another and while still "tacky," knead with the lingers sufficient man tle and force it into the outs, pressing jl firmly Into every crevice. When the cut is properly (lied, hold the edges together tinny for a few moments un til the mastic sets. The repair should then be allowed to stand six hours or more If possible, allowing the mastic to harden properly. Mastic Is n plas tic cement sold at nearly all garages. It Is very useful and a small can for the tool box Is a good investment.

SUNDAY CLOSING FOUND IMPRACTIBLE Several Ministers of the City Make investigations and Find tiiat Sunday Closing, as Practiced in Larger Cit ies Would not Affect Laurens Office, Following the publicity given the matter of Sunday closing of certain departments of Post Ofllces in larger cities and the calling for an expres sion of opinion on the subject from the people of this city by Postmaster licks. Rev. Mr. Rankln and Rev. Mr. McQee, at the suggestion of the King's Daughters, held a consultation on the matter and came to the con clusion, us will be gathered below, that the closing as practiced in the larger cities could not be put in force to advantage here. As the letter of Mr. Rankln, written to Mrs. C. W. Tune of the King's daughters explains the matter uuite fully it is printed be low. The following is what Mr. Kan kin had to say about it: Mr. Dear Mrs. Tune: In regard to your communication of recent date from the King's Daughters, with ref. erence to Sunday closing of the mails at our Post otllco here, 1 would say. that Mr. McCee und l took up the matter with Mr. Hicks, the Postmaster, and he in turn with the Department at "Washington to see what the Gov ernment offered In this matter, and he reports to me this morning, that the Government ?fters nothing that will make it worth our while to take any steps in that direction. The De partment requires the distribution of mails to the boxes, and the delivery window to be opened at stated hours for hotel men and visitors, and for any ono demanding "emergency" mail. The Sunday closing, that is agitated in the cities, only has reference to car riers windows, and the general deliv ery. As we have no carriers windows here, and our general delivery win dow is already close/1 on Sundays ex cept at certain hours, just after in coming mails, and as most of our peo ple get their malls through the boxes, the ruling of the Department with ref erence to Sunday closing does not ben efit us at all, or change the present states of affairs. This had been my understanding of the department ruling, is the reason, why I had not taken some steps In the matter before. The only tiling that Is left for our Christian people to do, is to voluntarily decline to take their mall out of the boxes on the Lord's day. Appreciating the spirit of co-opera tion of the King's Daughters with the ministerial union in this matter, I am Yours fraternally, c. P. Rankln, Chairman of Ministerial Union. Laurens, S.

There is, how ever, to he noted some expansion in the demand for cotton goods, retail trade in particular showing more ac tivity, and the hope is expressed thai the limit of curtailment of production has been reached. Larger sales are noted in the shoe trade and leather and hides are more active. Ill iron and steel n decided cut is made in the price of steel bars, ami there are fur ther concessions In the prices of pig iron. This has had an unsettling ef fect, not only jn the iron and steel trade. Inn to some extent in business generally. Crop prospects continue t<> Improve and this fact constitutes the strongest basis for the future in a gradual expansion of industrial activ ity as the year advances. Meanwhile the banks keep piling up additional cash resources, and their capacity for credit expansion is greater than in many years, while the admission of trust companies into New York Clear lug House strengthens the llnunclal situation to an extent that is scarcely appreciated, but which yakes this lone of the most important banking developments in years. While earn ings during two weeks of May de creased D.I per cent, as compared with last year, bank clearing!! tin week make substantial gains, the in creases bejng 1,9 per cent, over 1910 and 0.1 per cent, over 1909 outside of New York, and 12.0 and 9.8 per cent, respectively, In New York. In all of the leading Industries the growth of export trade is ?tili a striking and favorable feature of the situation; ami again in New York, during the latest week, the exports exceeded the im ports, though that is chiefly an import city; exports were $15,370,011, or $392,570 In excess of the imports, in the corresponding weeks in 1910 and 1909 the excess imports were $3,3G3,. 051 and $5,024,132, respectively. The business situation, therefore, as a whole, presents a number of elements of improvement, and while the increase in actual transactions is very slow, and in some places not disceruable in any appreciable degree, an advance has undoubtedly been made More active retail buying has been accompanied by broader purchasing in the primary markets for spot and future delivery of cotton goods Im converting and nuincfacturing pur poses. Prices on gray and bleached cottons are advancing in a steady way, many well-known makes being from I-sc to l-tc per yard higher. That prices .are still below producing costs is indicated by the larger measure oi restriction id' output that is nuiioiinc Od. Export sales and shipments are ahead of last year in the cotton goods division. In dress goods the trend to ward rough effects is marked and woolen mills are-getting the benefit ns against worsted mills. There is a very active demand rpr mens wear serges which lias disclosed a paucity of stocks in second hands.
