Williamsburg county's third annual fair will be held November 13 to 16, inclusive, and from present indications it will be the greatest fair ever held in Kingstree. In 1916, notwithstanding that our county suffered from the disastrous flood and storm, we held a better fair than | the year before and our exhibits ex-' ceeded our most sanguine expecta-' tions. With the return of prosperity ( and plenty this year, there is no reason why we should not have the very! largest and best to be had. ? ?? .l. ti;:i ine primary oDjeci oi uie t?uliamsburg County fair association is the development of our agricultural resources and the promotion of the material, educational and industrial ] interests of the county. Since its organization, the growth and improvement in live stock, poultry and farm products have been marvelous, j . When the fair was first organized \ there were hardly any pure-bred fowls in the county; now our poultry exhibit, based on that of last year,! will rank next to the best made i in the State. The importance irmnrainn/y anr nf Kactq ! U1 IUl|/I KJ V UA?s UUI UIWU V* HV59 , has been taught and emphasized, and the county ranks first in the State as to number raised, saying nothing about the quality., The same improvement and develop- : ment may also be seen throughoutI the county in cattle L r beef purposes as well as better milchers. Our annual fairs have already been a wonderful incentive along new lines of development,and it should be the determination of every person in the county to make the fair this fall the ' largest and best. No pains will be spared in provid-1 ing entertainment and amusement; for the people who attend. There 1 will be high-class attractions, and i ai :J :ii 1 J k.. UIC uiiuw oy will ur uiauaKCu uy uuc t of the best carnival companies ol | the road, whose shows are all clean j and entertaining. These free attrac tions will be announced next we/k. j The premium list will be ready in; a few days, and your secretary will j begin its distribution immediately. The premiums offered in many cases j are larger and more attractive, and ' it will be to your interest to supply j yourself with a copy of it. Drop a line to the secretary and get your copy so that you may prepare your exhibits and then notify him on entry blanks which he will furnish vmi J The programme for each day is being arranged by the entertainment committee, and will be both educational and entertaining. Let us all come together, pull to- j gether, and make this, the third county fair, bigger than the biggest. We have the resources and enough public spirited citizens to make it possible, then, why not do it? A Bad Practice. Last Sunday afternoon while Mr. F. W. Fairey and family were going through the northern part of town in his automobile a little boy threw a stick a the car, striking one of Mr \ Fairey'? 1:*tie girl's near the eye. The ^urkia.^ i*rfore that while driving his auto through the same part of town another little boy threw a rock at me car striking Mrs Fairey on the head. Neither incident was serious as far as injury is considered, but the throwing of sticks and rocks at passing autobiles is a serious thing and should be stopped. It is reported to us that the practice among small boys is of frequent occurrence in other parts of town also. It encumbent upon parents to take this matter up with their chil dren and show then the danger of it. Don't get it into your head that your child would not do such a thing, for as a matter of fact he is not unlike other children and may not see the danger in his act until it is too late. Spend a few minutes in showing and advising your child against such mischief and it will do good. But if that should fail to accomplish the desired result, then we would suggest an application of the old reliable "black gum oil." When properly administered it seldom fails, as manyfjf us know from experience. However we advise that this be the last resort.

MRS PHILLIPS TARES IRON IF niAAn ic dAn DLUUJJ 10 DrtLI f SUFFERED TWO YEARS WITH PEL LAGRA. SHE COULDN'T WALK ABOUT THE HOUSE. IRON BUILT HER l^P. TELLS WHAT KIND OF IRON TO fAKE. Everyone's energy, vitality anil general good health depend? si [much upon the condition of then i blood, and the normal functioning | of the the vital organs of the stomach, kidneys, liver, and bowels, the 'slightest irregularity should lie corI rected immediately. Anyone troubled with their blood, for instance, is sure to sooner or later experience uric acid pains, weak, lame back, lost strength, nervousness, headaches, dizzy spell? or some other kindred symptoms, and iron has become so well known as the one best remedy everybody should use it. The question is, in what form? Iron is put up bv the chemist in pills, liquid solutions, and mixed with all sorts of element? including, in some cases, altogether too much alcohol for the good oi the system. The cheapest, strongest, most efficient remedy is plain, natural iron, highly concentrated, and tattled just as nature intended it should be taken. It is called Acid Iron Mineral, is sold by druggists in fiftycent and dollar bottles. It gf>es from two to six times as far. It will help the digestion, stomach, kidneys, and blood. If the Inovels are inactive a good liver pill like the A-l-.M Liver nil at isoc inr generous size Ik>.\ is recommended. People with normal bowels should not use iron formed in combination with laxatives. , Altogether too many remedies contain purgatives. To indicate how quickly Acid Irod Mineral will cleanse the blood and tone up the general system and renew the wasted strength the statement of Mrs N E Phillips of Kershaw, S is quoted below: "1 l<eg:m to be troubled with my bowels, stomach and blood a little over two years ago. Tt finally turned into pellagra ami at the end of that two years suffering 1 couldn't even walk al>out the house. Mrs Ella Hunter suggested I take Acid Iron Mineral and after taking it six weeks and using hut four small hotties, i am up al>out doing my work and gaining in strength every day. It has dune nie more ginnl than anything I have ever tried and am glad indeed to recommend it to anyone who needs a good tonic or for pella gra or stomach trouble." A teaspoonful of Acid Iron Mineral in a glass of water after meals makes an unusual, powerful, economical and delightfully invigorating tonic, appetizer, blood and kidne\\ remedy. A large dollar l?ottle if druggist hasn't it will l>e sent prepaid on receipt of price by the Ferrodine Chemical Corp, Roanoke, Va. Wbaaem Ym Need QmhmI Taak Take Grove's The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic is equally trainable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IRON. It acta on the Liver, Drives out Malaria, Enriches the Bleed and Builds up the Whole Systcks. 50 cents. I / TREMENDOl FOR NEW There Are Others When a druggist sells a bottle of bitters to a drunk man, or a drinking man,or a man who usually drinks, he might well know that it is not being bought for medicinal purposes. In fact, there is no excuse for selling bitters at all; they have no value as a medicine, and the amount of alcohol contained in a bottle is the only reason the stuff is ever bought. If the druggist does not believe that he is operating a grog shop,let him have thechiefof police conduct him around in certain back lots and cite him to the bitters bottles in the weeds. There is not a great deal of this being done in this county, but even a little bitters is too much. The Star believes that the druggist will hereafter, having been told the facts, refrain from selling the stuff, except in wm homo on<4 in funt frnm hliv ing it himself.?Marion Star. It may be correctly inferred from the above that Kingstree is not the / only town in the State that has tc 1 put up with this obnoxious business It is not a case where that old saw "misery loves company," applies ! On the other hand the inference ii an unpleasant one.for with it natur ally comes the conclusion that then are still other towns and communi ties which are infested with a clas | of parasites who indulge in and traf fic in ginger, "bitters," extracts oi other alcoholic concoctions, merel: for the sake of the alcohol, and thi nnltrv nricp it brines.
