THE GREATER STATE \ FAIR FOR 1911 __? i The One Occasion and Place for Everyone to Meet j _ i ELABORATE PLANS MADE The Railroads Offer Special Rates. Fi im? Attractions. Every thing from Side Shows to Aeroplane Flights. Columbia. October 10th. Special:? rhe next event of State-wide import? ance is the State Fair, which Is to be held in Columbia, beginning October SOth and ending November 3rd For more than forty years?two generations?this has been the one event in which all the people of the State have Joined. In previous years it has not been so much the exhibits thst have attracted the people from every part of the State as tt ha*1 been the community of interests, eo to ?peak, of the people of this State There has been a general desire on the psrt of the people in one pan of Carolina to meet and know more ol the people in other sections and that is why they have come to the Stats Fair. Families have scattered and more people can be met in Columbia during the State Fair than any one other place in the same time and that is the primary cause of the growing success of the Bute Fair As the State has prospered so has the Fair In its exhibits. Year by year better cattle and better stock have come Into South Carolina and it U at the State Fair that much of this enthuslam Is spread by the exhibition and sale of | that which Is best In cattle, stock, poultry and labor saving machinery. President J. Arthur Hanks, a suc? cessful business man from St. Mat? thews, who Is now President of the Association, and Secretary J. M. Can tey are emphasising thane features of the exhibits and the applications for space already indicate all the exhibits thst can be housed will De in Colum? bia. The Fay Association has recently i bought ? (urge steel frame structure, which it Us hoped will be in readiness i for use for the approaching Fair. For those who like racing there wilt be line horse races and to keep In thorough touoh with the modern pace fine automobile races will be run. On two days of the week there will be fine football games; on Thursday of Fair Week the Carol ina-Ciemson game is scheduled. Special attractions win be provided at the State Fair each night of Pair Week. President Banks has contracted to have a modern aeroplane make two flights, each day aad this ought to be a great attraction for those who have not yet seen this modern wonder. The railroads being in thorough ac? cord with the Ideas and purposes of the State Fair have annoucoed espe? cially low rates for the round trip from ail points, and those who do not come to Columbia for the State Fair to catch the political pulse, or to see their cousins or sweethearts will have ample to see in the 1911 exhibits that* will be provided, aad which promise to be finer and more worth studying than ever before.

After Traveling Scores of Mile* Over Muddy Iloads Kn raged Men Took Their Victim. Greenville, Oct. 10.?In the depths of a forest six miles north of Green? ville and armed mob of 25 men, headed my "Citizen" Josh Ashley ! of Honea Path, a member of An I derson county's legislative delegation, I ! overpowered Deputy Sheriff Van B. Martin of Anderson county and Sheriff J. Perry Poole of Greenville county this afternoon and took from their custody one Willis Jackson, a 17-year-old negro charged with crim? inally assaulting the 11-year-old daughter of a prominent citizen of Honea Path at 7:30 o'clock this morning. The trembling negro was' placed in the car in which Ashley and four other men rode and follow? ed by a train of several automobiles from Anderson and Greenville coun? ties loaded with determined men and bristling with shotguns and rifles, the ring leaders turned in their fury and started toward Honea Path. Prom? ises were made the sheriffs that the negro would be carried back to the scene of his crime and the "older heads" of the town consulted as to what should be done with him. The capture of the alleged rapist concluded one of the most sensation? al man chases this section of the country has ever known. IAbout noon today Sheriff Polle re? ceived word from the Anderson Sher? iff that he had sent a negro to Greenville for safe keeping and naked that the prisoner be confined in the county jail. Sheriff Poole secured an automobile at once and went to meet the parties bringing the negro to Greenville. Shortly af? ter he left a telephone call to his of? fice from Piedmont stated that the automobile containing the nogro had just passed there and that about ten machines, containing the mob, were in close pursuit and were not more than 7 0 minutes behind. At 5 o'clock the Anderson automo? bile dashed through the streets of Greenville and up to the county jail door. At the Jail Sheriff Poole re? ceived a telephone messapre from Sheriff King at Anderson to spirit the negro on to Spartanburg. A change of automobiles was quickly made at the Jail and the flight to Spartanburg taken up. Within ten minutes after the auto? mobile bearing the negro had depart? ed a big Anderson touring car, con? taining Josh Ashley and four other men, steamed through Main street. "Citizen" Josh Ashley clutched a Winchester rifle in his hands and eagerly inquired where the negro had been taken. Upon being told that the party had proceeded to Spartanburg. the word ' of command was given and the big automobile dashed on up the street. Within five minutes another Anderson car steam? ed into the city, closely followed by another machine, and the mud-be? spattered occupants, upon being readily informed by Greenville citi? zens what way the negro had been carried, applied the power to their machines and dashed away. At Greenville the mob divided, some taking one road to Spartanburg and some another, and others took to the Laurena road, thinking, per? haps, that the officers would spirit the negro to Fountain Inn or some station on the Charleston & West? ern Carolina railway and place him aboard a train for Columbia. Within a hour after the negro had been hurried through Greenville the lad who drove the machine reap? peared in the city, together with members of the local police fores who bad accompanied the Anderson deputies when they left for Spartan? burg? This led many to believe that the negro had been taken from the car when a few miles out of Green? ville and concealed in x the woods. Within a few minutes after the lad reappeared in Greenville, the car bearing Josh Ashley and his party OPPORTUNITY.

The pursuers had j failed to overtake the party who had the negro and were evidently on their way back to Anderson. I Upon learing of the lad who drove the automobile being in the city, Ashley instituted a search for him. I The lad was chased into the rear of a drug store where, despite the ef - J forts of police to protect him, Ashley and his crowd laid hands on him. The lad was placed in Ashley's ma? chine and carried back toward Spartanburg t According to Sheriff Poole upon his return from the flight, Ashley ? and his crowd forced this lad to re I veal the whereabouts of the deputies j and the negro. When seen tonight by your correspondent Sheriff Poole ?aid: "The automobile in which we left Greenville was making such poor headway over the muddy roads that Deputy Sheriff Martin and I, fear? ing that we would be overtaken by the mob, decided to get out of the machine and hide in the woods. We told the boy to drive the automobile back to Greenville by a circuitous route and tell no one where he had put us out. Martin and I had gone about two miles from the place where we left the machine and were concealed in a thick body of woods when we heard the shouts of the pursuers. Within a few minutes we were overtaken. Joeh Ashley was the first man I saw. He grabbed the negro and we had a sharp tussle over him. Within a second's time 25 or 30 men had collected about1 Martin and myself, and we saw there was no use shedding any blood. They took the negro from us, but promls od that th -y would not harm him. They said they would carry the ne? gro back to Honea Path and con? sult the 'older heads' of the town as to what was best to do." Difficulties of the Historian.
