The course was programmed for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but owing to the intervention of the hurricane Fridfcy the course was cut short one dav. The morning and afternoon sessions of Wednesday and Thursday, however, were so full of instructive information and prac tical demonstration that every one i who attended was well repaid and while they all regret that they were ; deprived of what was scheduled to be their "big day", the pleasure of the others wds genuine. , The fair club members began to ] arrive early Wednesday and before | noon, the time set for the opening session, about forty had reported at , the office of Miss Edwards.

No Meeting Held Here Friday 01 Account ol Weather. The Congressional campaign oi the Sixth district opened at Florence Monday of last week. Hon Julius S Mclnnes of Darlington and James E Evans,Esq,of Florence,both of whorr are opposing Hon J Willard Ragsdale,the present incumbent, spoke tc good audiences. Mr Ragsdale was not present. Mr Mclnnes made only a short talk, as he is still suffering from the effects of his anti-typhoid treatment administered at Camp Moore, he be ing a private in the Darlington Guards (Company E, Second South Carolina Infantry). He made a clearcut appeal to the voters for their Bupport strictly on his merits, and not, as he stated, on the demerits of any other man. He was given close attention, and it was apparent that he made a favorable impression upon his hearers. Mr Evans made a strong attack on Mr Ragsdale's official record, and told the people he asked their support because he would make them a good and faithful representative in the halls of Congress. The second meeting was held at Timmonsville Tuesday,where a small gathering gave respectful attention to Messrs Mclnnes and Evans. They aruilfo of T olro riitv WpHnpoHnv nnrl Rt Johnsonville Thursday. A meeting was scheduled for Kingstree Friday and Mr Evans was in town.
