Watson has announced that he will
enforce It rigidly. For many years
other States have had oil inspectors

has been the dumping ground for the
oil rejected elsewhere. The name con?

The proposed Counay Fair Associa?
tion, if it is organised, is not to be a
City of Sumter enterprise, but an all
eesjnty Institution for the benefit of the
county as a whole, but primarily and
particularly for tho development and
improvement of the ngrlculaural in?
terests of this section of the State.
The business men of Sumter will give
t th undertaking the'r hearty and
liberal support, but only on condition
that It receives also the same measure
of support from the farmcs and busi?
ness men of other parts of the county,
for It Is a well recognised fact thut
e County fair Im pre doomed to failure

cannot be. tin tre ei| to success for It is
not the money spent on an undertak?
ing of this character that makes It a
success and accomplishes the desired
ends. but the Interest it arouses
the people at large. It Is for
the purpose of arousing wide-spread
Interest In the proposed association
and to fully explain to hII who may
be expected to take interest in this cf

county the plans that have been for?

worth the ? onmderation of the g|gt? I

plaa in theory, is unassailable, and we
do not believe that the most captious
orltk would venture to assume the
position that the Indefinite Increase
in the number of Independent small
farmers is not to be desired, but the
practical working out of the plan of?
fers so many and so great dillloulties
that we have little hope that it will be
undertaken on a large scale or given
the sanction of State support. If the
plan can hi reduced to a working ba
SSI and is given a fair trial on a small
scale Ii- one neighborhood or one
county its successful operation will

tions. One man w ho has holdings of
land and the patience to make such
an experiment for the public welfare,
and is willing to forego more than a
rei sonable profit on the actual value
of the land would be a public bene?
factor for he would be far more aid
to make the undertaking a SUCCCSS
i
than if it is promoted and put into
operation as a State-wide policy un

It has now been written into the re- ;
cord that a powerful and insidious
lobby exists in Washington and has
been exerting a pernicious Influence
upon legislation ami public sentiment
for many years, as charged by Presi?
dent Wilson, and It is put squarely be?
fore Congress to find a remedy for
the abuse. The issue cannot be dodg?
ed on the time-worn plea that the lob?

PALLS OX GERMANY TO All) EX?
POSITION.
Bryan I'rges That Country to Partlcl
pate In Panama-Pacific Show.
Washington, June 18.?Another
preced' nt was set by the administra?
tion when Secretary Bryan appealed
to the German ambassador, Count
Bernstorff, to have the German gov- ;
ernment and people represented at
the approaching Panama-Pacific ex- 1
position. The ambassador appeared
at the state department aftei a visit
to the White House and it was under?
stood that President Wilson expressed
a desire that he call upon Secretary J
Bryan. 1
This move on tho part of the ad?
ministration was inspired by the hos?
tile attitude toward the exposition of
several of the great European powers.
This attitude is credited to apprehen- (
Ston as to the adverse effect upon
trade of certain features of the admin- 1
istrative section of the pending tariff 1
bill, especially the socalled inquisi- 1
torial section, as well as to a desire on 1
the part of some nations sympatheti?
cally to support the Hritish govern- '
rri;\* in its protect against exemption 1
of American shipping from tolls in the '
Panama < anal.
Kepresentat ions similar to those,*
submitted to Count Pernstorff may be ?
made later to the representatives of I
other governments. <

FOR TOBACCO MARKET.
J. R, M. Motley Working for Mayen?
r|||e?Crops in Fair Condition.
Mayeevllle, Juno is.?J. R. M.
Motley of Danville, Va., who is one
of the lessors of the tobacco ware?
house here for the coining season,
has arrived and is engaged in adver?
tising the market through the sur?
rounding country. Mr. Motley is an
experienced tobacconist and was lo?
cated last year at Lake City, and he
will do all in his power to boost tin
Mayeevllle market and the town. J.
F. McBlveen, the other manager of
the warehouse, who will serve as
auctioneer, is well Known throughout
this section and ho la doing some
good advertising among his many
friends who are planting the gold?
en weed. A large force of buyers is
expected and from the present out?
look of the crop the quality of the
tobacco should bo good and the
prices correspondingly high. The
acreage Is larger this year than in
many seasons, and while in this Im?
mediate section there is not a great
deal planted, yet in the regular to
becco section the yield will he heavy.
The owners of the warehouse proper?
ly are putting everything in good
order for the opening of the tnarekt
and the buildings will he In thorough
repair and as convenie nt as any to bo
found anywhere else.
All crops are in very fair condition
around this section hut the cotton is
not so promising in some places, the
stands being poor. Much of this
crop had to be replanted and while
there is time probably for it to come
out, yet the yield will necessarily be
cut off to a large extent. The acre?
age in cotton is less this year, as many
of the larger planters have gone In
for more grain. The corn crop is
very satisfactory at present and the
harvest should be good. The ? oats
crop was exceedingly good this sea?
son. R. J. Mayes, Jr., and J. F.
Bland, two of the leading farmers
around here, produced probably rec?
ord yields for this section, some fields
averaging from 90 to 100 bushels to
i!..- acre.
The new board of trustees of this
school district is composed now of
H. L. Thomas, R. F. DesChampa
Mid J- F. Bland, three prominent
business men.
