It isn’t the number ot people that makes a small town sman. Never before has the importance* of ‘‘Selling a Community” been sc great as it is today. There is e reason for everything and “the reason why” for every community should be found out and “sold," first to the people that make up the community, and second tc those who are its potential custom ers. Only in that way can any community keep pace with chang ing America. Pltf.' Liltie E. Langley, as Administra trix vs C. & W. C. Ry., Co.; W. K. Charles, J. W.

To that end, great care has been given to the educational, entertainment and social sides, that a well-rounded program might be offered to the thousands of visitors. For months, in fact, ever since the last fair closed, the oficials have been busy and a month ahead of the dates practi cally every detail is arranged. South Carolina’s agriculture, livestock, poultry, dairying, mar keting and kindred things; its nat ural resources, particularly the iodine properties of the state’s vegetables, fruit and grain; its in dustrial progress; its manufactur ing; its colleges: its progress and its needs along all lines of develop ment have been given their places in the great panorama that will pass before the visitors eyes. The Clemson-Carolina game is the top spot in the entertainment, but far from the only feature of that kind, there being a galaxy of star events to please and amuse. And, as usual, the Fair Grounds will be the main cross-roads of Friday afternoon, October 3rd, between five and seven o’clock, Thomas J. Lyon Post of the Ameri can Legion and the McCormick 1,344 unit of the Auxiliary will have their 891 annual barbecue and p^ -nic in 1,131 Dern’s park near the court house. Every member of the Legion is expected to come and bring his wife or escort. Every member of the Auxiliary is expected to come and bring her husband or escort. This will be a genuine old time Legion-Auxiliary rally. Major R. B. Cheatham of Abbe ville will make the principal ad dress of the occasion and there will be others who will make short talks. . .. There will be a charge of 40 cents for each legionnaire, ladies free. The ladies will be expected to bring sandwiches, pickles, toma toes, cake, etc.—no meats. This will be the last social fea ture the legion and auxiliary will have this year, so let’s all turn out and make it go and have a jolly good time. J. F. EDMUNDS, G. E. CAMPBELL, J. F. LOVELACE, Committee. MRS. Y. E. SEIGLER, Pres, of Auxiliary. C. K. EPTING, Com. of Post No. 19. tXX The people of a community car? have anything they want if they want it enough. That is the truth, but the trouble is that too few peo ple want what they want to ’the extent of getting together aratf sticking together until the end de sired is attained. As long as people place petty jealousies and person al littleness before common sense and the real things of life Ifttey have no right to complain if their business and their town is not what they think it ought to be “Contemptuous Familiar Ity" works two ways. It blinds the be holder to the treasure itself, and hides from view that which hides: the treasure. Many a town is: standing still merely because it's people are contemptously familiar with both it’s advantages and dis advantages. Now is the time to get going tc igo get it. There never was a bet ter time to lay a firm foundation? for individual and collective busi ness than right now. When things are at their worst, they are bound to get better. When people think times will get better they will gm better IF they follow through, by acting as they think. Deficit Of State , To Be Increased COLUMBIA, Sept. 27.—The de ficit of the state of South Carolina of $3,848,724.49 will probably be increased to one of over four mil lion dollars, Comptroller General A. J. Beattie said today. The growing deficit will be cut down somewhat, however, the of ficial pointed out, by the fact tha* revenue receipts for 1930 will ex ceed those of 1929 by approxi mately $200,000. During the last meeting of the legislature the deficit was much discussed. It is expected to be a problem to be given attention this winter by both the legislature and the incoming governor, Ibra C. Blackwood. -X- 1,000 pounds. —the great annual meeting place of Palmetto State. Opening day sees the start. Then comes Iodine Day on Tuesday, and Agricultural Day on Wednesday. Big Thursday is South Carolina Day, and Friday,is School Day, when thousands of children will and come to the Fair to see, learn and Saturday is closing day. Heaviest Traffic On Aiken Road This is a good time of year for merchants to re-read the Law al Good business which says “Busi ness goes where it is invited, arid stays and comes back to the pla*^ where it is well treated and served best.” You can’t expect people to do business with you if you do not ask them to—that is just another way of saying “You can’t Sell’eto If you Don’t Tell ’em.” The housewife who has her own best interests at heart will do wel? to adhere to a plan of buying her needs from the stores that give her a “reason why” she should buj;' from them. Price is one thing, but" quality and price is another. Ask the merchant to give you v. real reason why you should buy from him in preference to his com petitor. If he cannot tell you, if he DOES NOT tell you, there can hardly be a reason; and without 2. reason, how can it be a good place for you to trade? Watch your newspapers. Read the advertisements and see if the nier- chants give you a real “reasacii why” you should trade with them— a reason that is to your advantage. If you cannot find an advertise ment of the stores where you have been in the habit of buying it may be because those merchants have no reason; or if, having a reason, COLUMBIA, Sept. 27.—That sec- they are not interested enough In tion of Route 1 between Augusta, | y° u to lay that reason before jura.
