The Recent Colbred Fair j Mr. Editor:My knowledge of your willingness and urgent desire to give publicity to the laudable accomplishments and generous deeds of the good people of this county irrespective of race or color, is the only apology I offer for requesting space in your valuable paper for the publication of a few notes on the success of the Color Fair recently held in this county. That the fair was a great success : from the viewpoint of attendance and t exhibits, as weel as from a financial [ V ? standpoint is conceded by all who wit- j nessed tne same. iv Many things contributed to the success of this fair, but perhaps none ; more than the encouragement, advice j and donations for premiums given by i our white friends. It is not my custom to engage in fulsome praise, still I believe in rendering unto "Ceaser the things that are Ceaser's and unto God the things that are God's". Hence I wish in this way to give expression to my appreciation and gratitude for the kindness of all the good white people ^ho assisted us. Without making invidious distinction, I jj desire to mention the following gen- j tlemen who gave me their trustworthy g advice thereby causing the manage ment to be successful in nearly every particular, Mr. George A. McElveen, I < Mr. S. J. Deery, Mr. W. B. Logan, Dr. j L. Roy Cates and Mr. W. H. Welch.1 ^ Too much cannot be said in com-' j mendation of the farmers who stood . j by the fair. Their exhibits were fine, - many of them pronounced by expert-! enced judges, as excelling the exhibits 1 c of similar products at the Color State j ^ Fair. ) * These fairs will do much to increase j the general prosperity of the county l by encouraging our people to produce f better crops, and to raise more and I better chickens, hogs, cattle, etc. They ~ give an opportunity for our people to be mutually helped in many ways, ^ and thereby create a better feeling ^ between the races in the State. ^ A few more fairs like the one of ^ which I am writing will demonstrate ^ to the negro that his best friend is his . white neighbor, and to the Southerner, that the best farm labor obtaina- t ble for the South is the negro who F some times quits his job for a funeral, b ? V_. *- V..4. F excursion or Dig meeting, uui ucici for fewer hours or higher wages. " They also impress the lesson of mutual race helpfulness without race as- g sociation of the objectionabfe kind. ^ Yours for peace and harmony and bigger and better fairs in the future, a Morrv Christmas and prosperous a New Year. a Joseph A. Mason. t IT IS WORTHTTS WEIGHT ; IN GOLD, SAYS LIPPETT } ATLANTA MAN TAKES FERRO- LAX AND NOW ENJOYS BEST c 1 OF HEALTH IN EVERY I WAY | "When it comes to building a man j up from weak, rundown cqndition, j nnttino- new enersrv and vitality * in his whole system, Ferrolax beats anything I have ever seen or heard of," said A. F. Lippett, who lives at 80 Soils Ave., Atlanta, Ga., while talking with a Ferrolax representa- ? tive a few days ago. "Yes sir, Ferrolax is all right," continued Mr. Lippett, "and it is the only medicine I have ever taken that hit the spot in my troubles. I suffered " from indigestion and stomach troubles and nearly everything I ate ( would cause me to suffer afterwards, j I would often be so bloated up with j gas after meals, 1 could hardly get a j good breath. Some times this gas j would rise up into my chest and cause my heart to palpitate something awful. I felt tired and worm out all the time. I never felt like getting up in the mornings, ai}d rarely ever felt 5 like eating any breakfast I finally decided to give Ferrolax a 1 trial, and sir, it is simply wonderful ; the way that medicine overcame my ^ troubles. Why, I never felt better in j every way in all my life. I have a j fine appetite and eat three big, hear- J ty meals every day, and never have a sign of indigestion or stomach trouble any more. Ferrolax is worth its weight in gold to anybody who suffers as ! did, and I am more than glad to recommend it to everybody." Ferrolax is sold by Farmers Drug Company, Hemingway; W. V. Brock ington, Kingstree; Cockfieid urug Company, Johnsonville. Get a bottle at this store to<lay. Teke it according to directions and if it does not do you the good you want done come in and get your money back. Your bare word re good enough for us. Watch for the next issue of this paper and .see what Ferrolax is doing for others. "Advertisement." The County Record office will be closed Thursday for the observance of Chirstmas Day. The paper is this week being mailed to subscribers a day ahead of the usual time. * V \ ? jL U sB Flooring v 1 I ceiling Lumber j|g Siding |lj Casing Mouldings j|?
