Manning, and ths newspapers that find fault with ev? erything he does are citing the good order that prevails as positive proof that the militia was not needed and that aendng the troops to Anderson was a costly mistake. One newspa? per baa gone so far as to argue that Gov. Moaning should have waited un? til blood had boon shed before order on; oat the troops. Is It not wiser to prevent rioting snd bloodshed than to suppress It forcibly after the con? flict hss started? The results In An. dsrson appear to vindicate Gov. Man? ning's judgmsnt. o a e Who nthe London newspapers ad? mit that Roumanla la being overrun by tbe Germsns snd that the country hi doomed to the same fate as Bel glum and Serbia, the Roumanians ire not to be blamed for hastening to sue for peace on the bent terms obtalna blo from their victorious snemlcs. Ths result of tho Roumanian cam* palgn Is but snotbsr evidence of the Inefficiency of the Allist. as military strategist* and further proof of the strength and resourcefulness of the Gsrman military system. Ths utter failure of the Roumanian campaign to svsn tsmporarily crlppls the Ger? mans will go down In military history along with ths disastrous failure at Galltpol! as the outstanding lost op? portunities of ths war.

The asms thing has occurred In every town and city that has attempted sin? cerely to enforcs the prohibition law against the retall sule of liquor by either the ssloons, nodal clubs or open blind tlgsrs. It Is always claim? ed that more liquor Is being brought in > y the railroad* and express com? panies for personal uwe than was ever I soldi before in the community, hut when the mutter is investigated by honest and disinterested persons and a compiriaon of the actual figures is made it is found that the consump? tion of liquor has been materially re? duced sod that crime, and attendant evils that go hand in hand with the saloon, blind tiger, and club for the sale of liquor, have been largely elimi? nated. If a majority of the good peo? ple of Charleston?that Is to say, those who support the schools, churches and legitimate business es? tablishments of the city?really wan* a law ?.biding and honestly pros? perous city they will unitedly back up the enforcement of the law against the sale of liquor, regardless of the claims that more liquor is be? ing brought into the community un? der the present law than ever before. The first thing to do is to call this bluff by getting the exact figures on the Importation of liquor for personal use during the time the law has been enforced and comparing with tho quantity sold In a similar period pre? viously. Charleston people Imagine that they are an exceptional and an unique people and that all things are different'in Charleston from condi tione ei*?where, that Charleston Is an excep?ei? to all rules, but if they would enty wehe up and get down" to! facts and make comparisons with conditions In other places they woujd find thai the law of avorages holds good la Charleston as surely as does , the law of gravitation. " t ? 4 THE COUNTS' FATA. [ ?. i The county fair held Thursday, Fri? day land 8aturday Of last week was In many particulars very creditable to Sumter county. In the variety ofj farm products, in the variety and I quality of live stock, especially the j display of pure bred hogs, In the large and Interesting girls' clubs and home demonstration exhibits, and in the exhibit* by the rural schools, there, were to be found substantial grounds far pride and gratification. In these parttcalars the fair was far and away a greater success than the most opti? mistic had anticipated It would be. It wa* an achievement of which the whole county can feel proud, but the flpjadlt for the success and excellence rsthe fair belongs a comparatively rfiftrwms and to'ahem the ttoaoW' the Community Is due. But tor the' Work/tad public spirit of J. - Farm -Oetn?4 PPgwMPs9^smimon and Katie Pitts, County Agents Olrls' Clubs, H. L*. Tlsdale, E. I. Rear don of the Chamber of Commerce, the teacher* and trustees of the ru? ral schools that had booths and a few wlds-awake and progressive farmers, who, seeing the opportunity to show what can be accomplished on the farm, made the most of it by placing on exhibition the fruit? of their labor, the fair would have fallen flat The fair was, as a matter of fact, the work of a few public spirited men andy women, and if some dozen or more who were prominent a* exhibi? tors and workers had been eliminat? ed, there would have been no fair. In plain languag, a few persons carried to success., almost unaided, a com? munity enterprise, and the indiffer? ence and doubt of the great majority wore changed to surprise and admira? tion when they saw what had been accomplished by these few. The fair, excellent as it was, did not measure up to the full opportunity, but served as a suggestion of how great a fair Sumter county could have had this year and can have every year here- I after, If all of those who should be ; be Interested would get to work, each one contributing everything in his or her power to mako the fair truly und fully representative of the best that Sumter county hue to show to the world. Those who questioned the possibil? ity of having a worth-while county lair have been convinced of their mistake, and now that the way has been made plain, there ought not to be any greut difficulty In organizing and financing a county fair on a basis rommunaurato with the opportunity that the county and city of Sumter have within their reach. Wo have reudy at hand everything needed for one of the biggest and best county fairs In the South, save the public, rplrlt, enterprise and the money to provide adequate buildings and grounds. While the fair of last week is fresh In mind and the enthusiasm that it uroused has not been dissipat? ed an effort should he made to set on foot a movement to get ready for a real county fair next year. The latent public spirt is here and If Sumter once whole-heartedly determines to have u r nnty fair and to make It th* best of its kind In the State the suc? rose of tho undertaking will be as Wh.it are wo going to do about It .' ?sssasmsmmwsa?amssawm*s*BB?*am Rnb a sore throat with 11AM.AKI?' ?NOW IdNIMKNT.
