Letters Concerning the Fair.
To the Teachers:
' Educational Day" of the Williamsburg
County fair is Friday,November
10. Last year our regular
school exhibits on Field day were
eliminated with a \iew of having
these exhibits at the county fair.
Space for booths will be provided
for all schools whose exhibits are full
and complete enough to warrant the
allotment of such space. The school
desiring to make such an exhibit
will notify Mr Geo A McElveen, Sec,
that such space will be utilized. In
case your school cannot make such
ao exhibit, space will be provided in
the Child's department or assigned
you in such department as is classed
in our premium book. In any event,
please notify Mr McElveen what
your intention is.
The floats and parade will be one
of the principal features of Educational
day. All teachers that can
possibly do so are urgently requested
to prepare floats. Each school
will form its own parade closely following
its float. The association will
offer a banner to the school taking
first place in the parade. The judges
will decide on a basis of 60 per cent
for the float and 40 per cent for the
parade. The number of pupils taking
part in the parade will have no
effect in awarding the first place. A
prize will be awarded the school
* " * *_ -xL ] 4L^
providing tne Desi ooom, anu uie
best exhibits will be awarded the
customary ribbons.
It is the earnest desire that every
school in the county take part in this
greatest county fair. Get ready
and be with us that day and help to
make this day the best of the fair.
Yours very truly,
J G McCullough,
County Supt Education.
To the Farmers ol Williamsburg
As you know, our county fair will
be held in Kingstree November 8, 9,
10 and 11. We beg the co-operation
of every farmer in the county, for
without your help we can do nothing.
Of course the storm of July has
damaged our field products, but we
feel that we can get up a good exhibit.
I therefore beg you, as one of
the Field Crop assistants, to bring
anything you have raised from your
fields or gardens this year. Anything
from a radish to a bale of cotton will
be received. We are aware that Williamsburg
county can raise anything
that can be grown in the State.
Send all exhibits plainly marked,
Ti.ifV. imn, numa oHo(<lioH tn Mr

Tbe Tick Closes the Gate.
I
Washington, D C, October 16:?
On a Tennessee stock farm, native
cows that weighed from 500 to 700
pounds each and ranged in value
from ?12 to ?20 a head were bred
to pure-bred Shorthorn bulls. When !
j from fifteen to eighteen months old
j the calves were sold on the Chicago
i market. They weighed an average
I of SOU pounds and brought S cents
a pound, or ?64 a head.
This simple business transaction
represents the difference between
i iMijfnnvjtip utnnlf raicinrr and sollinc
[OjOivumwiv ^w.? . _ f
! scrubs. One thin.tr made it possible?
I
the elimination of the tick. Grade
stock cannot be raised without pure- r
bred sires, and pure-bred sires and
the cattle tick do not live long in
the same pasture. Usually the tick
stays and the sire dies of fever. ,
That is one reason why the average
value of beef cattle in tick-infested
States is always many dollars less
than in tick-free country. There is
no way of grading up the herds.
In the particular case mentioned? ,
it was in the days when Tennessee ,
was still tick-ridden?the stock owner
was a big enough man to be able
to get rid of the pest himself in his ,
own dipping vats and to import his (
own breeding stock. The small
farmer can afford to do neither.
But he has just as much to gain in
proportion as the big man from
good stock and he wants it just as
badly. He can get it, first, by co-operating
for systematic tick eradication
work under State and Federal supervision
and, when that has been accomplished.
by joining live stock associations
and bull clubs in which a
number of farmers have the joint
use of a pure-bred sire. The United
Otitic* H/Arvft *>f mart A nrriAnl f nrp
Otatro L/Cfjai iniv-iJL \JA iigi v
will assist in the formation of these
associations, just as it will assist in
the eradication of the tick.
If the regulations are properly observed,
it take ordinarily one season
to drive the tick out. Thereafter
the way is open for stock raising on
a scientific, profitable basis. This is
being done elsewhere in the South.
There are no ticks now in Tennessee
and Kentucky, and only one corner
of Virginia and the coast counties
?f North Carolina are still infested.
Much of South Carolina is free, and
about half of Mississippi and Alabama.
There are large areas of
free territory in Georgia, northern
Arkansas and Oklahoma and inTexas.
Successful work has been done, too,
in Louisiana and Florida. In fact, |
there is not a single State in the
whole area originally under quaran-J
tine which has not driven the tick
out of some part at least of its territory.
The people who have done this did
it because it paid. It is not only
the man primarily interested in beef
raising who profits. Every farmer
knows that his farm will benefit if it
has live stock on it, but he wants
that live stock not only to enrich his
land, but to pay for itself and more
besides. For the ordinary man the
tick cuts the profits down until they
are too small to notice; so he doesn't
keep many cattle. But when the
tick goes off the farm, it leaves the j
gate open for the pure-bred bull to
walk in and bring an income with
him,

FEDERAL LOAN BANK.
Mr Epps Suggests That Such be
Organized in Klngstree.
To those who are interested in organizing
a Federal Loan bank at
Kingstree, as I have had several parses
to come to me in reference to
:he organization of a bank of the
ibove kind, will say that I have not
ione anything personally toward organizing
a bank here, but from what
[ have noticed in the State papers I
feel that all parties who are inter?sted
in it should organize at once,
is there will be a meeting in Columbia
next week for the purpose of
finding out what has been done over
the State along this line, and they
are asking for representatives whereever
the banks have been organized.
I think it would be well for those
of us who are interested to meet at
onurt hnnuA Saturday. October
21, at eleven o'clock for the purpose
of organizing a Federal Farm Loan
