Despite all economic conditions io the contrary the fair this year is as good as it has ever been during the twelve years the event has been held here. Agricultural and in dustrial exhibits are above par and attendance thus far has been ex cellent. Approximately 10,000 school chil dren of Anderson county, with their teachers and trustees of the schools attended the opening day Tuesday, Wednesday was set aside by offi cials of the fair for the school chil dren of the other six counties of South Carolina and the five coun ties of Georgia. Approximately 50,- 000 free tickets were distributed over the 12 counties embraced by the fair for school children. • The annual fair is an excellent barometer of the industrial and ag ricultural condition of the Pied mont area embraced by the exhi bition.

The Model Shows of America are furnishing the necessary entertainment, fhn and rides without which the fair would be less attractive than thou sands have already found it.
