COUNTY FAIR
NOV. 1,2,3 & 4
COMMITTEE ON PREMIUM LIST
NOW BUSY AND WILL
ISSUE SAME SOON.
The Williamsburg county Fair will
be held this fall November 1, 2, 3 and
4, me weCK ioiiowmg uit? Maif luu.j
The management l:a.s started to work ;
appointing committees to take charge;
of the different exhibits and othev!
phases of fair work.
The committee is at work on the
premium book and they expect to:
have it in the hands of the public be- j
fore very long. There will not be!
man'- changes in die premium list this
year. We shall stress again individu-'
a! and community exhibits and we
want everybody v. ho is expecting to
give us such exhibits to begni now
to prepare. We want especially to
urge every school community to begin
thinking about a community exhibit.
The community exhibits last
year were very good, but we want the
people to strive to make them better
this year.
We want more individual exhibits
this fall and we expect to have them.
The premiums offered will be liberal,
therefore it will le worth while to
strive for a prize. From an exhibit
standpoint we had the best fair last
year we have ever held, and we are
expecting a still better fair this fall.
Effort is being made to get good
clean amusement for young people
*and grown-ups alike. There will be
something new every day on the program.
Begin now to agitate the coming
fair and lets make it the best in
the history of Williamsburg county.

Storing Spring Potatoes and Onions.
Successful storage of Irish potatoes,
as with most other crops, depends a
great deal on how the crop is handled
at digging time. Irish potatoes should
not be allowed to lay exposed to hot
sun over fifteen to twenty minutes at
digging time. A longer exposure will
cause the potatoes to wither, turn
green, or ebcome scalded, and when
pleaced in storage a great many will
rot in a <hort time.
Gather the potatoes soon after digging
and place in well ventilated baskets
or c;ates, advises A. M. Musser,
assistant Entensicn horticulturist.
Place the re in a room where the direct
rays of light will not fall on the potatoes
and though which there is a
good current of air moving continually.
Irish potatoes do best to be stored
in a dark room or cellar at a temperature
of 34 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
Such conditions, however, are at
the command of only a few farmers,
and others must do the next best
thing; viz., place them where it is
comparatively dark through the day
and where a good rurrent of air flows
over the potatoes at all times.
Onions to be stored for future use
should not be harvested until the
r.ecks wither and die and the tops
fall over. They may then be pulled,
tied in bunches of a dozen or more
j t 'v" "m?'a
ana nun^ on nuu^ vi mic ovi?wuw?
across a building or room through
which a steady current of air passes.
Just as in storing Irish potatoes, the
prime requisite for storing onions is
thorough ventilation, and when the
crop is small tying in bunches is the
best and most economical way of handling.
If the crop is large, the tops
should be twisted cff after pulling and
the onions placed in shallow crates
stacked to provide sufficient ventilation.
These crates may then be stored
in an open shed or any place that
is dry and well ventilated.

Would Discontinue Railroad.
Three hearings occupied the attention
of the state ailroad commission
Wednesday, according the an announcement
of Frank W. Shealey,
chairman of the commission.
The petition of the Bennettsviille
& Cheraw railroad for the discontinuance
of a portion of the company's
track will come up at this
time, both the company and the shippers
and all other persons interested
being requseted to send representatives
to the hearing. The track which
i: is proposed to ''.-.continue connects
Brownsville end Tellers and is 11
miles in length. The railroad company
bases its petition upon the fact
that traffic has declined to such an ex
lent as to almost make the operation
cf the line a physical impossibility.
Representatives cf the two express
companies operating in South Carolina
and of the wholesale fish dealers
of the stcte ate to attend a hearing

NEGRO FARM HAND. CHARGED 1
WITH DEED RUSHED TO
PENITENTIARY.
Greenwood, July 5.?Two hours after
the fatal shooting of Dr. Lawton
C. Lipscomb, prominent farmer and >
druggist of Ninety Six, Pink Griffin, J
a negro farm hand was captured by,
a posse of citizens headed by L. M. f
Lipscomb, a cousin of the dead man, t
brought to Greenwood and turned ovo- (
to the county otfic rs. The negro was i
s-pirited away from the Greenwood t
county jail to the state penitentiary !
at Columbia, for safe keeping. Gov- 1
ci nor Cooper will be asked to call a t
special term of court, to try the ne- t
gro, who is charged with the crime. <
A full confession was made by Griffin
to his captors, it is alleged. Dav- i
id Machcn, another negro, was also 1
carried to Columbia for safe keeping, i
Dr. Lipscomb was shot six times, 1
three of the bullets taking effect in <
the region of the heart, following a,
reprimand given Griffin for beating; <
bis mule, it is s^Id. Griffin followed, ]
from the bam lot and began firing '*
when Dr. Lipscomb had turned and 1
made an effort to wrench the pistol 1
from his hands, powder burns and ,;
bullet wounds in the right hand, in-']
cheating such. He was dead when his (*
wife reached him. i ]
The news of the fatal shooting of i1
Dr. Lipscomb quickly spread and fully ?
two thousand citizens formed a posse ]
and literally combed the woods and 1
swamps for miles around. The negro i
was captured on the Seaboard railway, 1
near Alexanders brick yard, about 1
five miles from the scene of the deed. <
Sheriff Canncn Please, of Newberry, <
was telephoned for bloodhounds and
he responded at rnce. When the :
r.egro was captured the hounds were ]
rot on his tracks. Members of Dr. <
Lipscomb's family urged that the lav/12
be allowed to take its course, and the 11
posse dispersed soon after the negro 1
was brought to jail. Dr .Lipscomb is!
survived by hi? widow, who was ap
Miss Cathcart, of Columbia, one sister, Mrs.
G. T. Calhoun, of Ninety-Six, '
and three brothers, George W., E. P. <
and J. N. Lipscomb, all or Ninety-Six. 1

DUTY TO PERFORM 3

(
To Instill Sense of Individual Obliga- '
tion.?A Statement by Commander
Emery.
John G. Emery, national comman- j
aer of the American Legion issued the |
following Independence Day statement:
"Ours is a land of visions made
real. Oppression brought to a selfreliant
race of colonists the vision
of an independent nation. Statesmen
of those colonies met, drafted
and 145 years ago signed the deathless
document which proclaimed that
vision to the world. Soldiers and
sailors of those colonies through
- - . \
seven years of war fought in sup- '
port of that declaiation and at Yorktown
achieved the victory which
wade the vision an accomplished fact.
"Over the Alleghanies, across the
Mississippi across the westward prairies,
beyond the Kockies and to the
waters of the Pacific was carried the
national frontier by those who marched
onward in fulfillment of the national
vision.
"With the world aflame with the *
conflict between the forces of oppression
and autocracy from which
our colonists fought themselves free
and the forces of democracy and (
freedom which the victory of 1783
established in the world, we crossed
the ocean to fight again. The vision
which first revealed itself on these J
shores 145 years ago found a rebirth
ir the victory of 1918. ^
"While proclamlng the effect, let e
us not overlook th^ same cause which *
made possible the world triumph of J
the vision of American ideals and in- t
stitutions of government. The cause 1
lies in the fact that in the beginning v
our colonists were inspired by a t
sense of individual responsibility and
- - - - .1 i 1 t T T V V 1
obligation to tne state. wnai w is true
then is true today. Each of us, ;
as individuals, has our duty and our c
obligation to our country. And in *
the loyal performance of that duty
resides the hope and the security of e
our national institutions.
"The American I.egion can have no *
higher mission than to continue to ?
work to instill in the hearts of all, *
this sense of the individual obligation (
to community, state and nation." (

3EMPSEY KNOCKS CARPERTIER
OUT IN FOURTH ROUND OF
BIG BATTLE. =
c
Ringside, Jersey City, X. J., July 2. t
?Jack Dempsey :s still heavyweight ^
pugilistic champion of the world. (
A crushing right swing from the j
'ist of the American fighter shattered <
lie titular aspirations of George* 4
Jarpentier in the fourth round of the ]
lo-called "Rattle of the Century" here j
his afternoon. The pile driving blow >
andcd flush upon the jar of the \
frenchman, flooring Ca:pentier for (
he second time in a trifle more than
1 minute of fightTg in the final and ,
lecisive round. 1
Although lie had staggered to his <
:"eet after the in iial knock down ho ,
,vas unable to suivive the second one ,
m/T m-os mntinnl, when Ifpfovee
Harry Ertle tolle'l off the fatal ten (
counts. |
Although the knockout punch was j
Iriven to Carpent ers jaw the way to j
Dempsey's victory had been paved by (
i continual bombardment of blows ^
,vhich landed on every section of the ;
Frenchman's body. Each swing, jab
tnd uppercut, scored to the stomach,
ribs and sides, contributed to the .
lowing up process of the speedy Car- ]
rentier. In addition, a clubbing right '
which landed flush on the back of ^
Georges' neck in the third round,
played an important part in his defeat.
The Frenchman folded over in .
ur. attempt to protect his 'body, left
Ihe back of his neck exposed, and '
Dempsey with the fair target in front
jf him, drove down a trerific slam to
Carpentier's vertebrae.
After the knockout the Frenchman
stated in his dressing room that this 1
punch was the cause of his pugilistic ;
Jownfall. He said that the punch
=tung his entire physical and mental
makeup and he was thereafter unable 1
t(. carry on an effective attack.
It developed after Carpentier had
returned to his training camp at Man- 1
basset, N. Y.. that during his aggres- ;
sive and effective attack in the sec- ;
:>nd round, the Frenchman had broker,
bis right thumb and sprained his

plain how* the injury occurcd, but it '
is thought that it came as a result '
jf a hard swing which landed high
:n Dempsey's heed. 1
Ovation for Carpentier
"What effect, if any this injury to
die European challenger's most et'- 1
'ective fighting fist, had on the ulti- ;
nate outcome of the battle it is im- :
jossible to state. Carpentier was al- j
nost entirely on the defensive in the j
hird and fourth rounds, although he
lid not noticeably avoid using his
ight hand in blocking or striking out
vhen the opportunity arose.
Regardless of just which blow
:aused the vanquishing of Carpentier.
he Frenchman gave a remarkable exlibition
of pugilistic skill and gameless
against a heavier and more punshing
opponent. The favorite when
le entered the ring, judging from the
imount of cheering he received, he
eft the arena with even a greater |
iraount of applause ringing in his ;
;ars?a tribute to an exhibition which ;
n every way verified and upheld a
ecord which had preceded him rejarding
his boxing ability and cangeriefying
work during the World War. \
Dempsey, as the winner, ran true i
o his fighting-form.

SWEET POTATOES
POOLED AT PROFIT.
Forty to Fifty Carloads Go to East
and West.?President Makes
Statement.
Florence July 1.?Between 40 and |
>0 carloads of kiln dried South Carilina
sweet potatoes were placed in
he eastern and midwestern markets. |
vhich have ever been the objective
>f the southern producer, during the,
)ast year througli the South Carolina |
Sweet Potato association under its;
'pooling" plan. T.- Benton Young, of [
Florence, president of the association,
las reported to the directors.' These
vere placed with a net return of bowed)
^2U,000 and f-25,000 to the grow:rs,
his report further showed.
"We consider this performance of
lie association a tremendous step
Howards placing the sweet potato in
<outh Carolina on a commercial basimd
opening up the territory which
vill be our chief market," Mr. Young
stated. "The success our handling
>11 a cooperative or pool basis is attested
by the applications which we
lad from houses, which refused early
in the season to join the association,
.0 handle their output after Ihey had
tried to dispose of it and failed to
_ret as good market as we had found.
"Further the potatoes which we
placed were of the quality and standard
to establish the South Carolina
sweet potato in these markets as a
permanent delicacy and article of
food."
Kiln cured sweet potatoes were
handled by the association from
housese in Williston, Fairfax, Allendale,
Appleton, Lanes, Garnett, Bamierg,
Walterboro, Barnwell, Florence,
Yemassee, Aiken and other places
this past year.
This year the association is undertaking
to negotiate a crate deal for
its members. It has a<*entative contract
for crates at little less than
half the price of last year in lots
of 100,00(% or more, Mr. Young reports.
It also has unusually liberal
terms from the factory which will
accomoda-e the association in financing
the deal. However, it it not
handling the deal to make money
but merely as a cooperative buying
venture which will save money to
the producers. The official standard
crate has been fixed now at 12x12x18
S-4 inches, inside measure.
Officers were elected again for the
coming year by the association as
follows:

In the discussion of the outlook 1
for the crop this year, Sir. Young s
stated, the officers of the association
formed the estimate that where the
association handled about fifty cars ^
last year, it will handle probably 500 ,
cars this year?the bulk of them into .
territory which was opened by the
small volume of last year Reports
from all over the state indicate that
the various sections have made unpiecedented
preparations for conserving
the crop this jear. couth Carolina
has gone farther in the one year
past, he estimates, than in all years
previous, toward putting her sweet
potato on a commercial and marketable
basis.
