What is Kingstree going to do j
with her tobacco population during J
the month's of July and August?
Already much difficulty is experienc- '
> ed by the few tobacco men coming 1
in, in finding board and lodging. ,
There has been more or less trouble j
here for several years past in pro- I
viding "accommodation for our to- 1
bacco population, men who come nere ; (
for the tobacco market season early <
in July and usually remain until '1
September. A number of these men i1
bring their wives, arranging for',
their accommodation in advance, j;
Those of our citizens who are situat- <
/ ed to take care of these sojourners j *
and have done so in past years, we !,
are told now refuse to take them in. I
The situation is a bad one to say 1 <
the least, and the inevitable result ; ]
will follow that in a few years there *
will be no tobacco market at Kings- 1
tree worth the name.
It takes several hundred neople
here during July and August each '
? * ? ?%,,*. la'afuliniicAc km- ' '
year w wvhuuh vu. <>ulv..v>uw, ?..
our tobacco, pack and handle it for !
the great manufacturing concerns 11
of the world. These several hundred J
people must be housed and fed. In '
. past years it has been done, and we 2
see no valid reason why the same ?
should not be done this year. <
It is true that there is a great *
shortage of residential houses in ]
Kingstree, but this is a big matter t
and one that is not easily or quickly
remedied. It takes time and money *
to. build houses, and no little of it at ^
this time.. Hotel accommodations i
here are inadequate and have been r
for a growing town like Kingstree r
fbr some years. The regular boarding *
houses always have about all they ,
can accommodate. i
The only solution, as we see it. in |s
tf?e ni-esent situation is for every J ]
home that possibly can, to make pro- f
vision for one, two or three of the
strangers who will be within our c
gates during the next sixty days. *
To the citizen of Williamsburg I
' i f
County: o
On November 4, 5, 6. and 7 of this '
year we expect to hold our annual t
county fair. The first three days are <
for the white people and Friday the last
day is set aside for colored people.
As you know,the fair was not
held last year, because of the war
conditions. This has given us quite a
rest spell, and we should use every
effort to make the coming fair the
m?st successful we have ever had.
The officers are exercising every effort
to have a good fair, but unless
we can get the co-operation from
the citizens of the county the fair
will be a failure. It is your fair and
we have faith enough in the men
and women of the county, both white
and colored to know that when it
comes to holding up the standard
fa* aM Williamsbure. they can al
ways be depended upon to do their
part.
It i.? true the prizes are not as
large as we would like for them to
be, but the fact that you have won
the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prize ought to be
quite an honor and is. The purpose
of the prizes is to create sufficient
incentive to cause the people to make
their display as good and as attractive
as possible. The purpose of the
fair is educational. It shows the people
of the county what is being done
by people in the county and inspire
.others to strive to become more successful
in whatever vocation of life
happens to be his. A
otoaH result to be derived from |
* a
successful fair is advertisement.
The successful farmer thus becomes
known to the whole county. The suc*
cessful live stock raiser advertises i
his business in the county, etc., and
in this way the county fair becomes
a great medium of advertising.
The present" management are very
anxious that the coming .fair be the
best we have ever had and that you
as citizens assist us in every way
possible to make it such,* and the
n"-'? ?au? tn
' credit will go to you. dcK 111 livn vv ||
preserve and to day set aside the
best you have for exhibit this fall.
Let. other people know whatyou are
doing in life.
We have contracted with the famom
Broadway show for the carnival
feature of the fair, andthev are highly
recommended to us. There are no
forty-niners, or anything else indecent.
It has the reputation of being
one of the cleanest and best shows
on the road. They travel in eighteen
cars, carrying twelve shows including
a wild animal show, and a wild ,
- west show, besides concessions and
other amusements. <
We have two free acts already 1
contracted and are now trying to get <
a third. The first is a "High Dive"
A man turning a back somersault I
falling from the top of a ladder 104 1
feet high and falling in four feet of 1
water. The "Slide for Life" the second
free act, will be made by a man
saturated with oil and burning while 1
sliding suspended by his teeth high <
in the air down a cable into a tank 1
. I
Two Competitors*
Elbert Hubbard stated: ''We make
money out of our friends. Our enemies
will not trade with us."
This means that the manufacturer
or retailer who sells merchandise
must render 100 per cent satisfaction
to the buyer; if not. he "does"
hinfRelf more than his customers.
An example: Jones and Brown
were merchants selling the same
goods. Jones did not sell as much
goods as Brown, but what he did sell
stayed sold. Jones' customers never
made complaints of any merchandise
which he soldthem . He made it his
business to advise a customer, even
at the expense of the order, not to
purchase this or to buy carefully on
that particular style, and in general
gave the buyer the benefit of his experience.
On the other hand, Brown
lid not believe in these tactics; his
idea was to sell the goods. His poli:y
was "get the money". Brown sellom
sold twice to the same person;
finally he worked himselfout of busiless.
What does salesmanship amount
to if all conditions are not equitable
ind each party to the transaction be
she gainer? It means that every
>ne's efforts, from the manufacturer
vho produces the goods to the clerk
vho dispatches them, are wasted.
Cusiness, as we know, is built up>n
confidence, and there is no such
hing as what was formerly known
is "sticking" a customer. The one
vho gets stuck is not the customer,
>ut the seller.
o
The Country Sunday School
If the Sunday school has been alowed
to die down, there should be
10 further delay in reorganizing it.
. In our concern for the mental development
of our children, we should
lot forget the need for moral trainng
also. In the writer's neighborflood
a boy. who was to have graduited
at the high #chool last month?
i bright boy in his books?spent the
commencement period in jail, having
entered a store at night and ki|led
ts owner only a few weeks before.
3roper moral training had not accompanied
his mental training.
father nr mother should ask
limself or herself if the Sunday
jchooMs not needed * to .supplement
he training given in home and pubic
school And even if a boy learned
lothing useful in Sunday school, it
night still be worth while for him to
:o simply because the Sunday school
>ffers an opportunity for him to
neet other boys and girls in the
ight environment and under wfiole;ome
influences. The average boy
rho has nothings to do from sun up
o sundown every Sunday is pretty
ikely to get into mischief.
The moral and spiritual benefits
>f the- country Sunday school, thereore,
should alone insure efforts to
itilize and strengthen it, while the so
ial and intellectual advantages
vhich it.offers may also not be im?ropperly
considered. The Bible is
ne of the world's supreme pieces of
iterature, and to stuuy it Sunday afer
Sunday will contribute not a little

The Cheapest Way to Make Pork
There is no denying the fact that
peanuts and soy beans and velvet
beans are economical hog feeds and
will produce growth on hogs when
properly used cheaper than probably
any other feeds we have; but to get
the best out of the peanuts and soy
beans we must also furnish the hogs
some corn, or corn and sweet potatoes.
If the corn is not hogged off, as
may be profitably done when corn
and soy beans are planted together,
some corn or other feed high in carbohydrates
should be given the hogs
while they are grazing peanuts or
soy beans. It is probable that we can
stand the decreased price placed on
peanut and soy bean-fed hogs and
still produce them at a profit. It is
also provable that the packers place
too great a penally on Southern hogs
but the fact remains that peanut and
soy bean-fattened hogs are soft and
that the seller must pay a penalty,
Thprefnrp. we should feed some corn
while the hogs are grazing the peanuts
and soy beans and then feed entirely
on corn and cottonseed meal
for five or six weeks, after the hogs
are taken off the peanuts and soy
beans, before marketing them.?The

Too many men seem to think that
optimism consists only of seeing the
silver lining to the other man's cloud.
