V..D county will be the largest and best ever held in Kingstree. Our county has risen out of the atmosphere of depression and gloom caused bv the disastrous flood of last year, and the people have taken on a spirit of optomisrr never before seen in this section. With the high prices obtained for tobacco and cotton this season. money is plentiful; ?nd after two years of hard work and close confinement, it is but naturel that the people of the county take an interest in coming together and displaying the fruit of their labors and enjoying some rest and recreation, * *- ?? 1 A /v nf 1 /iflpArO sucn US Lllf rair .-v>sutiauuu uncio them. ^ The Association, being always alive to the need3 of the people of the county, have gone to much expense in securing free attractions for the fair this fall. The Association has secured Patrick and Francisco in their novelty rube act and their acrobatic performances twice daily; and Montrose and Hamilton in two acts, a sensational acrobatic novelty and the mysterious castle, twice daily. These free acts furnished amusement for thp thousands who attended the State Fair this year,and we feel certa^fi that the free attractions alone are worth the price of admission to the grounds charged by the Association. Smith's Greater Shows have been secured to furnish amusement for the midway. These shows are second to no carnival company on the road, and need no introduction to the people of Williamsburg.county, having filled satisfactory engagements here some years ago. Everything clean, no gambling allowen, the shows being of the best character, in every respect. 1 The number of applications for | concessions in the administration building bespeaks the spirit that | has already taken hold of our : people throughout the county in assisting to make this the greatest fair , ?- U...a ..*?* W,orl TKo assni>ii)h'nn WC IlttVC JtV IIBVi.

While many of the schools < have made application for booths, it J|^ is the desire of the association that all of the booths so provided for '< scholl exhibits be used and in the ' event of any school not using a booth ' it i3 expected to take part in the ; community exhibits. The secretary I of the association is endeavoring to ^ feeure the cooperation of all of the gehwls and to get an indication as 1 to whether a school booth is reqired or if they expect to take part in the * community exhibit. As the present , demand for space is great it is very < urgent that teachers send this in- i formation to the secretary as early is possible. In order to avoid confusion in regard to the entrance of the school I children at a reduced price of 25 cents, a special prate jg being ar-i ranged and special tickets have been! printed for educational day. The teachers are requested to apply to the secretary of the association for the number of tickets required for their school, selling these to the children between now and the open- \ ing of the fair. The children hold- j ing tickets and marching in the pa- j rade will be admitted into the fair j grounds through the gate prepared for them, on Educational Day. - 1 - . ,L. __| 1_ it is presumed mat me scnuum are fully conversant with what the association is offering: for the best parade and float.

HAPPIEST MAN IN I COLUMBIA,HE SAYSi 7 I WANTS ENTIRE CITY TO KNOW | ABOUT IT. FEELS YOUNG AGAIN. Health Restored by Wonderful Vitona After All Other Medicines Had Failed to Benefit Him. "I am the happiest man in Columbia today and I want to tell the public it is all because of what this wonderful Vitona Pas done for me," I said Jno Wesley Gay recently. Mr Gay lives at 2229 laurel street and is a well known coach carpenter for the Southern railway. "I never spent money to I setter advantage in my lk'e than when I (bought Vitona," he continued, 'for 1 it overcame troubles that had U*en ' pulling me down for the past three or four vears. I had serious kidney trouble which brought on rheumatism and I had an awful time of it. ! My stomach was also in bad condition. I had no appetite, was nervous and couldn't sleep well. I had pains in my sides, shoulders and neck and my condition became so bad it was all I could do to stay on niy job. I tried all kinds of ' medicines and was under treatment | of doctors, but nothing seemed to i reach my case and I kept getting ! worse. j "I heard about Vitona and de' cided to try it but I had very little {faith in it doing me any good. I I began to feel an improvement before j half the bottle was finished, the I pains have left my sides and neck i and I feel like I did when a young j man. My stomach is in good conj dition and my kidneys no longer | bother me. I'm not nervous like I i mv sleeD is sound and restful i and my appetite is good. Vitona is | the finest thing of its kind I've ever seen and I am more than delighted ! with the results. I think everybody j suffering with kidney trouble and | rheumatism should know of this ; wonderful remedy." In commenting on the above state1 ment the Vitona expert said: "Mr i Gay's case is only one of the hundreds in Columbia where equally astonishing results have been obtained bv the great discovery, Vitona. I firmly believe it is the most satisfactory preparation ever offered the public. People are being benefitted by its use after every other medicine and treatment has failed. Vitona is now being sold in Kingstree exclusively by Kingstree Drug Co. Also at Lane by S S Aronson; at Bryan, W D Bryan; at Hemingway, Farmers' Drug Co. Local Items from Salters.
