We agree with Mr Epps that it is a good thing and steps should be taken to effect such an organization in this community without delay. The Pee Dee Fair association will hold its fourth annual agricultural fair, beginning Tuesday, October 31, and continuing through Friday, November 3. THe association has been unsparing in its praiseworthy efforts to make this the biggest and best * exhibition ever pulled off in thriving Florence county, and judging from their premium list, a copy of which we have before us, they are going to succeed. The association is carrying an advertisement in this issue of The Record and makes a special mention of the horse show. A grand display of fire works on November 1 and 2 will alsc be a drawing card. With Oar Advertisers. R W Lewis has a fresh supply of new crop buckwheat flo'.ir, raisins and currants. The Pee Dee Fair ad on page 3 will give an idea of what this big annual event will really be.

The inflammation of the mucous membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child lias chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this loathsome disease will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all this trouble might have lieen avoided Obtainable everywhere. INTEREST IN COUNTY FAIR GROWING, DEMAND FOR EXHIBITION SPACE -HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS GOING AFTER EXHIBITS.^ ' There is a demand for exhibition space in the administration building of the Williamsburg County Fair asKv u nnmlujr nf individuals auv. lacivii ksj- ? uwiuw* v. . ..v.. who have farm products to put on : exhibition. The association is much gratified over this demand, for it is j a fine indication of the interest be, ing manifested in the fair, and the president, Mr W E Nesmith, is es. peciaily delighted over the prospects 1 of having a splendid lot of farm exhibits on display and wishes it to be I well understood that the association has offered a premium of $25.00 for the best farm product exhibit, also | that he will give $25.00 for the best i exhibit. The second best display ! will be awarded $15.00 and the third $10 00. It is urged that special attention j be paid the requests and advice by i the heads of the several departments, and if you can't pull for the department in which you are mostly interested, then push for its success during the next few weeks. If you are orw) txmnlH hinrier rather I UlO&iUUVlVVft U.IU J than help the progress of the your j county and the coming fair, then ! advertise your holdings for sale and j get out. Some of the more progressive schools in the county have notified the officers of the association that unless the unforeseen shall happen, "they h^ve a cinch on the premium J offered for the best school display." jThere are a number of live, pro; gressive schools in Williamsburg : and the fair association is pleased to I note that there is real effort being i put forth on the part of teachers, pupils and patrons to make their ' ' " aI ! XT i school the winner or tne prize. i>iu source can contribute mor% liberally j to the success of the fair than the 1 schools, and besides, the schools that ! have exhibitions are advertising ! themselves in a most profitable fashl ion. Prizes for the best school exhibit were omitted from the cata| logue or premium list but have,since its publication, been provided for ! and will be awarded for first, second and third best displays by Wilj liamsburg schools. The new poultry house will be ; completed this week and will provide ample space for all exhibitors. Much j interest is shown in this department j by poultry raisers all over the county, and the association is confident that the finest and largest assortment of birds ever brought together I in the county will be shown. ; Fifty-two new horse and mule stalls have been added, which should ; give plenty of room. Extra large stalls are also being built for mares and colts, while the pen accommoda! tions for hogs have been doubled in ; capacity. It should be borne in mind that 1 articles exhibited last year are eligible for entrance again this fall. This applies to all departments of the fair: Field Crop, Home Demonstration Work, Household, Fancy Work, Fine | Arts, Floral, Child's, Cattle, Horse, , Mule,Swine,Poultry, etc. Simply because you have shown it before is no 1 excuse for not exhibiting it again if ! it is a thing of merit. The heads of the various departments are now busy soliciting articles for exhibit in their respective : departments, and if they do not get to see you, you go to see whichever one of them is in charge of the department in which you are especially interested and enter whatever you have. The heads of the departments are as follows: Field Crop Department?D E McCutchen, W M O'Bryan. Boys' Corn and Pig Club Depart- j ment?C W Baker. Home Demonstration Work?Miss Amanda Edwards.

' Lake City, October 17:?Messrs J , A Carter and A M McDaniel of Vox| were here last Friday. These gentle- j men are verv much interested in having Lynches river ana L,yncnes i lake cleaned out for the purpose of preventing the disastrous results, arising from Hoods in these streams. J These streams are cnoked with logs, j brush and sandbars. It is said that lumber companies have put into the ( river thousands of logs, which, , sinking, log the stream to a very; great degree. There is no question j that were these obstructions removed, the valleys of these streams would not be overflowed to anything ; like the extent they are now Hooded whenever there are considerable j rains. And lowering the height of i the waters in these streams will also facilitate the draining of all the land whose surface waters go into these water courses. Miss Claudia Johnson of Ridge Springs is visiting Miss Mamie Green. These young ladies were schoolmates at Winthrop college. Mr D W Alderman, Jr, of Flor ? '? Cnndou lncf ence was in tuwu uunuuj Dr A H Williams went to Columbia Monday night on business. Dr and Mrs Jennings came down from Bishopville Sunday and spent the day in town. Announcement has been made that Mr W M Severance, of this town, and Miss Lillian Scarboro of Moultrie, Ga, will be married on November 30, at the First Baptist church, Moultrie. Mr Severance is cashier of the Bank of Lake City and one of the finest young men ever reared in Lake City. His friends are congratulating him on all sides. These young folks met when Miss Scarboro visited her friend, Mrs Wesley Singletary, several months ago. Mr B W Moore, who was generally better known as Mr "Warren" Moore, died at his home at Moore's Cross Roads early Friday morning or last week. He had been in bad health some time, but the illness which swept him away was very brief indeed?only some hours. He leaves his widow and nine children, most of whom are grown. One brother, J J Moore, also survives. Burial was at the family burying ground near the home on Saturday. He was about sixty years of age. A good citizen, active in school and church and county affairs, his death is a loss. Mr C E McGee, a lumber man of Sumter, was here some hours Tues- : day afternoon on business. His mill is near Coward. Dr Judson C Moore, now of Carlisle, S C, came down to his father's funeral Saturday, and is spending some days with his mother and brothers and sisters. The friends of "Judge" John A Green?and his friends are all over this county?will learn with keen regret that he is seriously ill, and 1 will hope for his recovery. He was taken ill Sunday. Some people seem to think that I the reports upon the extent of the j damage to crops by the flood and' i the rains which followed, were ex- j Kut ciifh was not the i a^^ciairu, uub wuv*. , case. As the crops are harvested! the loss becomes more and more apparent. Cotton suffered worse. The yield, we are satisfied, will not bei above fifteen per cent of a normal crop. Lots of farmers are getting four to five bales from forty acres. Some are not doing that well. Eight i thousand bales were sold here last! year. It is not believed that more! than fifteen hundred bales will be I sold here this year. Cotton is bring-! ing a fine price, but what is that to 1 people who have no cotton to sell? It is no exaggeration to say that this section is facing the most serious situation it has been called upon to meet in many years, if ever. From now till the next harvest many will live hard, if not in actual want. Miss Epps, a missionary to the people of Brazil, made an interesting talk at the Methodist church last Sunday on her work and the people ^ among whom she is working. rr w Portions of Florida, Alabama and Georgia were swept by a hurricane ' yesterday. So far as reports have u been received, the chief sufferers were Pensacola and Mobile, where Qj the wind reached a velocity of lit gi and 110 miles, respectively. Two ^ lives were lost. Earthquake shbcks ^ were also felt. p SEVERE BRONGHIAl COLO S Yields To Delicious Vinol sr Philadelphia, Fa.?'"Last fall I waa R troubled with a very severe bronchial h< cold, headaches, backache, and sick to my stomach.
