The county school fair was a great. success. * a e Clemson College has issued a bhulIle t.in on South ('aro!ina's futare peach crop. The present "peach" cr'op is what worries us. The young debaters on the negative side of the debate "Rersolved that Laurens county shottd have medical inspection of Iher. schools," held in the school huilding Friiay afternoon, did not winl hill pot tp a live discusslot under adverse c!rcum istances. Their principal trot ble was the lack of any real subistance to "a rgufy" on. The superintendent of educationl and the rural school sutpervisor have issued a long note of thanks taking in all Who had any connection with mak ing the fair a success. They are quite right in doing this. We think that they themselves are due a vote of thanks of some kind for their work and inl hlsif o' Ilhe people of the city and County so we hereby ti an k thou. The fair was Iinarily dun e to their efferts nnd they should receive credit for its successi anl lenefits.
