C, as second class mall matter. LATHENS, S. ft, OCTOBER '23. 1913. The Advertiser will be glad to receive the iocul news of ail the communities in the county. Cor respondents are requested to sign their names to the contri butions. Letters should not be mulled Inter than Monday morn ing. Rigger ami better next year! t ... County fairs beat elections any day. ... The county fall' was a great success ... Fifty schools must have floats next year. ... It appears as if an effort is being made to stir up another series of sen sational newspaper stories out of the T. I". Vaughn case at Greenville. It seems that some papers delight in giving details of such unhappy incidents. The Advertiser printed but very little of the nauseating Myr tle Hawkins stuff sent out from Hen dorsonville a few months ago and It Intends printing but little as to Vaughn. The bare facts are bad enough. ? ? ? Quite a different scene would have greeted the eye of a visitor In (Jari Ington's meadow Saturday than that of Friday. Where Friday were thous ands and thousands of people and hundreds and hundreds of vehicles, Saturday nothing was there but a wide expanse of water. Not to be out done In enjoying Itself by mere man. the little river followed up the fes tivities of Friday by a rampage of Its own. covering the whole valley With water. After cavorting and plung ing over the meadow for a whole day and part of the night, it rested early Sunday morning and now it has resumed Its accustomed tranquility ... LET 'KM COMF1 The next circus that asks for a li cense to show in town ought to he charged a million dollars. Circuses answer no good purpose, and they take away a considerable amount' of money that would otherwise be spent at home for articles of value.--New berry Observer. A circus is an innocent form of amusement, largely an educational in sltuatlon and entirely harmless. The laborers and performers wear clothes madn from cotton and wool raised in the south, they eat food, both In tran sit and at home, which comes partly from the farms of this section and] whatever else they buy ia a contribu tion to the sum total of the world's business, which is necessary for our own prosperity. Let the circuses come, just as long as the clowns are funny and plenty of peanuts and candy and pink lemonade is on tap. Perhaps, ordinarily, Bro. Wallace feels the same way. but he might have been Buffering from the after effects of too much popcorn when he wrote the above. a * a GETTING DOWN TO FACTS. Getting right down to brass tacks, now, one thing must be realized about this county fair business. We might havo a county fair every week in the year and we might have an equally large crowd and an equally fine ex hibit each time and a whole lot of In formation might be gotten out of It and. a great many things learned, but there remains one fact that cannot be dodged: Unless we act upon what we learn, there is no use learning. Know ing-things and talking about things do not count for much unless some thing Is done. It is agreed every where in this county and jc. other counties and in other states that some hind.'of stock raising is necessary to attain to any great amount of success in farming In the south and that in tensive farming is equally as neces sary.; With the high cost of living and I the reduced amount of labor, things have changed in the past de cade and a change is imperative in the south, If farming is to bring the returns which the labor Justifies. We all know this and we all discuss It and but a very few act upon lt. T' seems to us, that with the lessons of the past two years before us, ono year a big crop and low prices and the other a short crop and picdlum low prices, that It would be realized as a Tact not to. bo disputed that the southern farmer must raise something else In quantity besides cotton and that what cotton he raises must be raised by progressive methods. As every farmer in Laurens county Is (Irmly convinced of this fact, it seems to us that they would take some ac tion upon what they know and turn about and start anew, diversifying the agricultural products and raising more hoists, cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens etc. As a last argument that the south is the place to raise cattle for other parts of the world, read the edi torial In the Scientific American in another column on this page. The people of tho country are expecting us to supply it with food as well as clothing and we should rise to the oc casion and help ourselves as well as them. So let's begin this fall to put in practice what we know about farm ing and quit doing nothing but talk. ? ? ? WHERE THANKS ARE DUE. Mr. W. D. Byrd was very anxious yesterday to ask The Advertiser to thank all those who so liberally con tributed by their means and by their hands to the success of the fair. Wo think it is about time that Mr. Byrd be thanked. While he has certainly been thanked Individually and per sonally by many for his Interest and untiring efforts in behalf of the fair, still we know that no official thanks have been tendered him for unless he calls a meeting of the directors to pass em, there Is no place for any official thanks to come from. As Mr. Hyrd certainly Is not going to call a meeting to thank himself, we think that it would not be out of place for The Advertiser, on the part of the people of the county, to thank Mr. Byrd for his splendid efforts In mak ing the fair what It was. Mr. Byrd deserves the thanks of every one who attended and those who did not. Tho same thing might be said and is said of John D. W. Watts. C. A. Power, W. It. McCuen and numbers of others who worked so hard to make the fair a success. These men worked like Trojans for weeks before the fair and their efforts were surely not with out fruit. Special Tatbe Woekl). Mr. Lavender announces that the Bathe Weekly film this week. for Thursday, Includes several tine scenes.

The Civic League Is In danger of going into the hands of a receiver, so it Is said, and a meeting is to be held Friday afternoon at four o'clock to devise ways and means of securing more money to ward of? the impending danger. The meeting Is to be held In the Methodist church and every mem ber or every person who Is desirous of becoming a member of this useful society is urged to be present. Some money has to he gotten and the ladies have doclded to have it. A kind of council of war will be held and every one who is willing to assist In carry ing the league's Ideas into effective usefulness is Invited and urged to at tend. This Is going to be no cut and dried affair, but real work Is going to be done In order to put the league's finances In proper shape. For fear, however, that the members might get the Impression thai a collection Is going to be taken up, It might be said that this is not going to be done. but. Instead of contributing themselves, the ladles are planning some way to make somebody else put up the money. So. all those who enjoy teasing the coin away from tho "old man" are expected to be on hand and help out in the cause. Getting right down to facts, the la dies are planning to give an entertain ment of some kind and they want all the members to be on' hand to help make arrangements.
