Between a phonograph, a concrete mixor, a tin contraption for sorting different sized rocks, hammering on the new court bouse and the racket of I automobiles this side of the public square is bountifully supplied with noise. We* can stand it though as long as the building goes on. ? ? ? Suppose that we had a dispensary or saloon here during the County Fair. Would the crowd have beon so orderly and would the day have been as pleasant for the ladies and children present? And would a great many of those well dressed and happy people have been hero if it were still as easy jpn spend the surplus earnings on the liquor bin ties. We hardly think so. ? ? ?

The sale of this death dealing drug should bo stopped and stopped at once. Those ' v.'M are selling It should take heed and beware for we believe that if the people become stirred up over this matter and begin to put a stop to it they will not deal lightly. There are legitimate uses of the drug and Il legitimate UBes of It. Those who sell It for illegitimate uses arc aware of It and they would do well to stop It now. The harm that thep have done can never be effaced and many a poor helpless one Is now suffering from this awful habit. Unveiling at Watts Mill.

Madden, Oct. 23.?On account of sickness we did not get to the Coun ty Fair, but the next best thing to go ing is to hear various comments by those who did go. The general con cenBua of opinion is that the fair was a decided success. One feature that deserves special notice was the splen* did judgment used by the fair manage ment in the securing of'expert judges for live stock. This Is the right way to encourage exhibitors to bring out their stock, to know that those who are to pass Judgment In everyday parlance know their business. Mr. Garlington deserves and no doubt receives the hearty thanks of the fair association, for generos ity In letting the grounds free and generously furnishing timber for stalls etc. Another act of thoughtful ness thAt deserves notice was that of the genial merchant, II. Terry, who though locat ed at "The Busy Corner" found time to think of his friends and so placed in front of his store a supply of pure clean water, Iced and ready for those who might tlflrst. Such acts of thoughtfulness are always appreciated A laughable Incident was when Mr. J. D.?W. Watts came forward and told the crowd they would appreciate ap plause. Just at the logical moment the line of mules gallantly came to the rescue and brayed an appreciative response, telling the assembled farm er folks there was money in other things than 9 cent cotton. The only deplorable thing that happened to mare the day was the acci dent to one of thf> gallant little riders. Possibly, that morning but few out side of his own family and friends knew the little fellow, yet that night when mothers all over the county put their little ones to bed, there were kindly thoughts wafted the little lad and his mother and more than one ex claimed "Poor little boy! I hope he Is not badly hurt." Thus does the touch of misfortune make the whole world kin. Madden carried off her share of the ribbons. Messrs Martin, Proditt and Wofford being successful exhibits. No ribbon was more appreciated, however, than that one won by the colt of Mas ter John W. Wofford. The sick of community are all bet ter Mr. .lud L?ngsten was able to go down to see his relatives Mr. Tom Shaw and family. Llttie Frances Fin ley was able to be brought home from her grand parents near Bkom and lit tle Ous Wofford will soon be able to start back to school. Mrs. Mollie Tongue was called to Spartanburg last Wednesday on ac count of the serious illness of her granddaughter, little Ella Teague. She was met there by her daughter, Miss Lorle Teague, a trained nurse, from Birmingham, Ala. Mrs. Teague re turned home Sunday and it will be sad news to many to hear that little Ella is still a very sick child. We hope soon to be able to report her bet ter, for Ella is a great favorite here, as she usually spends part of her sum mers here with her grandmother. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Martin of Lau ens visited relatives hero Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Martin will spend a day or so with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Finley Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
