[ Harpers, September 19:?Crops
in this community are suffering from
lack of rain. We have not made
enough peas for seed in this section
for seteral years and this means that
the crop will likely be a failure
again.
The Rosemary cotton ginnery
had qnite a blaze Saturday night,
September 19, caused by a match
in the cotton. The ginnery was in
imminent danger of destruction bnt
happily the fire was put out without
danger. The ginnery at
Harper? is running daily and is getting
h^gdbd patronage.
The Georgetown chaingang is
doing some excellent work on the
streets here under the able manage

We have a special district now laid
off and bonded and expect to have a
$5,000 school bnilding completed by
January 1,1909. The trustees have
the money in band, but so far this
is all in Georgetown county. Oar
people nave a ngnt to want to be
pat into Georgetown county that we
may join the band of progress as it
passes. I ask the readers of The
Record to look at the Georgetown
side of the town and compare it
with "dear old Williamsburg's" side
and note the contrast.

Tir*d mt *h? Ev?n Thousand.
John Hollister was one of the
most popular men in Washington.
He was always doing favors for other
people and never asking any for
himself. An acquaintance, knowing
his proverbial good nature, had
abused his confidence.
One day Holliiter was standing
in the Arlington hotel lobby when
this man came up to Hollister and
said very effusively:
"I'm a thousand times obliged to
5ou for what you said to Secretary
'oster. I got the place."
"And you are a thousand times
obliged?" queried Hollister in his
most innocent manner.
"Yes, indeed, a thousand times."
"Say, cant you make it 1,200
iust once? You've been a thousand
m
times obliged on several occasions,
if I am to believe you."
Panama Hat a.
That panama hats are woven under
water is denied by a man who
has all his life been engaged in the
panama hat trade and has himself !
made the hats. The hate are
woven in the early morning hours, J
when the atmosphere is damp, as
the heat of the sun makes the fiber ;
brittle and unfit for manipulation.
At night the hat is hung out in the
open air, where it absorbs the dew
and is in condition for work again
the next morning. This accounts
for the great length of time (from
one to three months) required for '
the making of a panama hat.?New

THE ONE GREAT CATHER1NG
OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS;
The State Fair This Year?October j
26 to SO.
The fortieth annual State Fair will
be held at Columbia this year October
26-30, and it gives promise to be the
greatest State Fair ever held. No matter
how bad the crops or how hard the
times, everybody goes to the State Fair
at Columbia. It has been the custom
now for nearly half a century, and it
will ever continue so with crowds increasing
each year.
The State Fair is the one time of the
year that work can be put down and
everyone have a good time for a few
days. Old acquaintances and relatives
meet at the State Fair if they are not
fortunate enough to meet elsewhere
during the year. Friends meet friends
and college men meet their college
rhates and renew friendships with good
stories of the good times of the past.
This year the fair holds even more
than that for South Carolinians. It
will be made up of new exhibits that
will teach the farmers new methods
and improvements that mean money to
every one of them.
The races will be the Dest ever seen
In the South. This being the first year
that the Fair Association has entered
the Virginia-Carolina Circuit. The
stake raoes will bring many of the
country's very finest racers. The two
football games will draw thousands of
enthusiastic "rooters" from both the
Carolinas.
Columbia is better fitted to take care
of her guests than ever before, with
more hotel accommodations. The railroads
will all put on special rates, as
usual. President John G. Mobley, of
the Fair Association, has worked hard
to get everything in ship-shape, and he
predicts the largest crowd in the history
of the fair.
Farmers' Supply Co have just
received a solid car load of 0 K
cook stoves. Don't fail to see
them before buying.
300 sacks rice at rightprice.

DISASTER TO AIRSHIP
Keenly Felt in Washington, Where
Test Was Made.
Washington, September 19:?
The disaster to the air ship of
Orville Wright in which the in
' ventor was badly wounded and hi?
companion killed is felt keenly id
Washington, where the experiment?
were beiug made. The official test
was to have been made this wees,
and Mr Wright and the officials of
the War department, as well as thecrowds
who have dailv attended thetrial
flights, were confident that the
aeroplane would easily puss all of
the tests. It lies now in the shed
where it had been kept, a mass of
broken wires, splintered wood and
torn muslin. Lientenant Self*
ridge, who accompanied Mr Wright,
is dead and Mr Wright with a /
broken leg, several broken ribs and
many brnsies, is lying in the army
hospital at Fort Myer in the suburbs
of the city, still unaware that his .
companion in the flight was killed..
Of courge everv one has a reason>
? - _ _ _ ^
why the propeller should Have falleu
but it takes little technical knowledge
to see that when a flying
machine gets anything wrong with
its machinery while in air it has but
one thing to do and that is to obey
the law of gravity and reach the
earth by the shortest line. When an
automobile stalls on a bill it may be ^
annoying but it is not dangerous.
When a flying mechanism fails it is
not only dangerous but probably
fatal.
This fact postpones by many years-the
time when flying machines will
be useful either for war or transportation
aud before that- time it
will doubtless demand a heavier vital
toll than those who have aireaay
fallen victims to the experiment*.
Lieutenant Selfridge was a clever,
promising young man of twenty six.
He had for several years taken the
keenest interest in all air ships and
had made many ascensions. He
was also the inventor of some of the
'VA
parts of the Baldwin dirigible
balloon and was fearless in experimenting
with them. His death,
happily, was painless, as he never
regained consciousness atter striking
the ground.
