THURSDAY. OCT. 19.1916.
Mr D J Epps has a communication
in this paper dealing with the
organization of Farm Loan associations.
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.

flow Catarrh Is Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thoughtthe
colds which
1WO ?ro WV VQ.vw*
their children contract. 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

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

LAKE CITY'S NEWSY LETTER. |.
A Laudable Undertaking?Death
of Mr. Moore?To Wed Soon. '
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.

Portions of Florida, Alabama and
