VARIETY AND EXCELLENCE OK EXHIBITS AROUSE KEEN INTEREST OF THRONGS A report of the Andrews fair published in the Ne vs and Courier follows: "After a three-day succes.- that grat: ified its most ardent supporters, the first Tri-Countv Fair of Georgetown, { Berkeley and W illiamsburg counties came to an end last Friday. The unusually hot weather and the dusty condition of the roads and fair | grounds apparently had n^effect upoh the attendance, for citizens of the | three counties and from other coun-! ties, including Charleston, thronged : to the grounds during the entire day. \ "Organization of a permanent as-) I sociation to make the fair an annual B event was well under way when the first fair, which was regarded large- j iy as an experiment, ended. Secretary B ?. M. Beard was kept busy during B the entire day issuing stock certifiW cates to new subscribers. Manager James D. Lee, who was highly complimented for his direction of the enterprise, declared that the fairs for the future will be on a much bigger scale, saying that the association had already taken an option on a twenty-' two-acre tract for a permanent fair grouii., and that next year everything in the way of a small exposition will be offered, including. horse races, automibile contests and athletic events. "A feature of the fair which was remarked upon by many was the deep u.. interest maniiestea in its success u.> ' the leading citizens of all three of the counties represented. "The exhibitors were drawn from L the three counties. They covered aj | wide field of interests, but the cattle J H and hog exhibits attracted a lion's1 V share of the l- ttention. Women's exhibits included canned goods and j , household articles "The hog exhibits were mainly of k-. . registered Duroc-Jerseys, but Poland Chinas, Tamworths and Hampshires were shown. About eighty per cent, of the swine were of pure-bred registered stock. "Winning four first prizes with, Duroc-Jerseys, the Waddall Ranch, of Georgetown, stood out conspicuously amontr the exhibitors of swine. L. Brinkley, of Georgetown, and G. W. Camlin, of Trio, each took two first and one second; W. L. Newton, of Andrews, took one first, and first places were also captured by G. J "vsr AnrJrautO on/1 AVlll R Y> . CiVOU^, Ul nmncx^ w.u ..... Haselden, of Andrews. "Registered Jerseys, . Holsteins, Herefords and Guernseys were shown in the cattle exhibits. V. M. Faircloth, of Andrews, took two first prizes, and fiists were also taken by, G. W. Camlin, of Trio, T. E. Arrowsmith, of JCingstree; Post Creek j Farm Company, of Georgetown, and j E. B. Grant, of Andrews. ^ "There were exhibits also of horses and mules of all classes. "In the poultry exhibits. White Leghorns and Barred Plymouth * Rocks predominated. In the former class, G. W. Evans and J. W. Sheppard, both of Andrews, had first and second prize hens, respectively. In the Plymouth Rock class, Mrs. T. L. j Smith and W. H. Andrews, both of Andrews, wei* awarded first and sec-1 ond, places, respectively, for their! exhibits. "The negro exhibits, showing a large collection of hand done needle- i work, was well worth while. "It was estimated by fair officials that considerably more than six thousand persons paid admissions to the fair grounds during the three j days. A carnival with a midway offered diversion to many persons during their odd moments. The balloon ascension, which was to be a feature could not be given, as the hot air bag of the aerouaut burst while being made ready for his ascent." I 0 ; ^ An organization known as the | South Carolina Retail Jewelers association was perfected at a meeting of dealers held in Columbia last Fri-I day. Gus. Sylvan of that city was .^phosen president. jjjL O The state convention of the American Legion of South Carolina, will meet in Columbia October 28. Committees have been appointed by the I executive committee to arrange all details. ' * .

J. G. McCullough, Acting County Supt. Education, j - DEATH CLAIMS W. WALDORF ASTOR SON OF JOHN JACOB ASTOR DIES OF HEART DISEASE IN HIS LONDON HOME Viscount Astor of Rever Castle London, died of heart disease last Saturday morning. He had been in failing health for a year. Through Viscount Astor's wish his body was cremated and it is understood the ashes will be placed in the private chapel of his one-time country home, Cliveden at Taplowbucks, now occupied by Waldorf Astor. Viscount Astor (William Waldorf Astor) was born in New York in 1848 the son of John Jacob Astor, the founder of the Astor millions. Hebecame an expatriate in the nineties, renouncing his American citizenship and becoming a British subject. He was made a baron in 1916 and was created first Viscount Astor of Rever in 1917. Viscount Astor has.been reckoned as one of the richest men in England. At the time of his death he still retained large realty and other financial holdings in the United States, ? particularly in New York City. Mr. Astor's death was entirely unexpected, ft was stated, at Major Astor's home, although he had been in declining health for months. He walked about outdoors on Friday as usual. Death came while Mr. Astor was in bed Saturday morning, but whether during his sleep or whether the household had warning, those in charge of Major Astor's house positively declined to say. Few men of great wealth in England have been so little known to the public as Wm. Waldorf Astor. It was said that he left America to escape the limelight which'newspapers throw upon multi-millionaires. If this was true, he was successful. During the first years of his resi- * denee there he established a position in the exclusive social set and entertained that circle in accordance with the most conservative British traditions. But he never attempted to become a leader in sport or politics, two fields in which rich Englishmen endeavor to attain publicity and popularity. After being raised to the peerage Viscount Astor never took any apparent interest in the political phase of his position, which was not unusual, as only a small fraction of those entitled to take part in the proceedings of the House of Lords ever avail themselves of that prerogative. It is not recalled that he ever spoke in the house of lords or appeared there as a legislator. * Viscount Astor's associates in England had been almost entirely British. He seldom appeared in the Anglo-American social set, which during King Edwards reign was the most conspicuous, if not the most important set, owing to the Kings partiality to it. The British exchequer will gain an i important item through the Astor estate death duties. Such duties on estates of British subjects of over l.ooo.ooo pounds are zi> per cent, wherever the property is situated. There was a newspaper report recently that Viscount Astor was dividing his American real estate among his children, but, according to the British law, such gifts must be made three years before death in order to escape estate duties. o Elimination of typesetting, one of the costliest operations of magazine production, by the use of plates made by photographing the original typewritten copy has been accomplished in the October 18 issue of the Literary Digest, consisting of eighty pages. This radical innovation which was brought about by the printers strike in New York city, leads the publishers to suggest that "it is possible in this age of marvels that the fiitnro nf tYi9cr97inp nrndnrtinn may be revolutionized by the elimination of typesetting. o Hot Supper Notice A hot supper, with plenty of barbecue, chicken and turkey, will be given at F. P. Guerry's on Friday night, October 31, for benefit of Cedar Swamp cemetery. 10-23-2tp. o Special sale on bycicles Fair Week. KIXGSTREE HARDWARE CO.
