Times Correspondent Visits the Fair. Lockhart Junction, Oct. 21.-?W< have had more rain and I expect frosl will come next, but we are in hopes it will stay off a few weeks longer, foi there is some late crops in this section, such as cane, corn, peas, pota toes and other late vegetables we would like to see grow to perfection This writer attended the fair all three days. The 1st day there was a small attendance, but the last twc days there was a very large gathering of people. I supposed they numbered up in the thousands. We were pleased to see so many interested in . the Union county fair. Many of the exhibits were far ahead of last year. The agricultural department was good. The corn, wheat, oats, cotton, potatoes and and other vegetables were real fine for a year like this. The ladies canned fruits and vegetables were fine. Some having a variety of all kind of fruits. The ladies' hand-word was beautiful, such as quilts, counterpanes and other things too many to mention. My attention was turned to the oldest things on exhibit. For the benefit of those readers who didn't go, I will mention a few. Mrs. C. E. Bailey ** 'J tlrn nlrloof /?/\nr*torr*ur?et? Kainrv nau mv viuvov wuuvv?j/?iivijj 118 years old, and hand made. The cotton had been picked from the seed by the fingers that helped to make it. It looks new, and the colors, blue and grey, are still fresh. It is now in the hands of the fifth generation. Next was a quilt exhibited by Mrs. W. T. Holcomb, which is 100 years old but didn't look old. Mrs. J. C. Vinson had on exhibit a quilt that had 2,877 pieces in it. The name of this quilt was Rocky Mountain. Mr. W. P. Duckett had the oldest dress, which looks the same as new, but is 98 years old. His grandmother was married in it. ? Mrs. Lou Crawford of Jonesviile had on exhibit a very fine dress and other fancy work. Other ladies of the different townships were represented with beautiful handwork. The Southern Railway Domestic Science exhibit was real fine. The young lady showing others the short and easy way to cook and do dining room work. She explained the fireless cooker, and gave out beans and other things to show how nice it was when cooked in the fireless cooker. She also showed canning done by the government plan Next was the gentleman explaining the dairy business, how to feed and what to feed and how much to feed the dairy cow; explaining churning and molding the butter for the market. Another gentleman explained the fruit growing, in which this writer was much interested, as he has a large orchard and several varieties of fruit. We asked him many questions, and , found that it took spraying to make good fruit. The oldest article on exhibit was an old pewter washpan owned by Mr. W. T> nnoVatf Jo 1 Or a ouu 10 ? j'cara uiu. Mr. Cyde White is very sick at this writing. Mrs. Minnie Fowler, who has been sick for several months, is improving at this time. Mrs. Carolina Fowler died at the home of her son, Mr. James M. Fowler, at Elford Grove near this place, on the 17th inst, and was buried at Gillead church the following day. She had been in bad health for several months. She was 87 years old at the time of her death. NEWBERRY COUNTY BOYS GOING TO CORN EXPOSITION. Columbia, Oct. 25?Newberry county is leading off in an exemplary manner in preparations for the Fifth National Corn Exposition here next January. Some half a hundred members of the Newberry county boys' corn club will visit the Exposition under an offer made by Col. E. H. Aull, county superintendent of education, who announced during the early part of the season that each member ot the club who complied with the rules and made his report and exhibited his best ten ears at the countv mn. test, would be given a one-day trip to the Exposition next January, regardless of yield or prize-winning. Along with other counties throughout the Southern states, Newberry will, of course, send two prize-winning corn club boys to the Exposition school for boys, to be held during the first week commencing January 27th. In addition to the offer by Col. Aull, the Newberry Chamber of Commerce has offered a prize of $100 to I VT me lNewnerry county boy or boys winning prizes at the National Corn Exposition. This offer has stimulated much interest in the Exposition throughout the county. It is understood that similar movements are being inaugurated in other sections of the state with the purpose of securing the largest possible benefit from the Exposition for their respective citizens. Mrs. B .S. Bayley and little *thild have returned from a visit to relatives in Charleston. News Letter From Jonesville Jonesville, Oct 22.?Children's Day was observed at the Methodist church here last Sunday. A short program was rendered by the Sunday School children which was ver^ pretty. The children were trained by Misses Eva Ellerbe and Maud Garner with Mrs. Josiah Lawson at the organ. Rev. J. L .Harley, president of the State Anti-Saloon League, spent Saturday and Sunday in Jonesville and he made two addresses Sunday in the interest of prohibition. Mr. Harley is well posted in the line of work he is doing and he shows and proves by statistics that prohibition is gaining ground in the United States. Mr. Harley is working in this#county on the eve of the election for the dispensary to be established in the county. It is %o be hoped that Union county will not vote back the dispensary which gave so much trouble during its existence." Mr. Gray Gault, who lost his right arm in a corn shredder some days since, is doing well and is ud and has been to his store. Last Saturday was a blue day in Jonesville. It rained all clay and business was put out by the bad day. I attended the U. S. court in Greenville last week and there was one case before the court that excited much interest and attention. Seven men were tried for conspiracy, in that they went to the house of a poor woman up in the mountains <>f Greenville county in the night, where a poor woman with three children lived, broke down the door, rushed in and tore the house down, took the poor woman's belongings out in the yard and burned them to ashes. The woman and her children run out and lay in the woods the balance of the night and it was a cold, rainy night at that. The woman and her thirteen-year old daughter were witnesses in the case and they presented a sad sight in the court house. The woman was poorly clad while the girl was bare-footed, thinly clad and had a ragged scarf over her head. Five of the defendants were found guilty and two of them given two years in the penitentiary at Atlanta, the ohter three were given three and a half years in the penitentiary, while the other two were found not guilty. The woman had reported some blockade stills in that neighborhood. A lamp exploded in the Enterprise tiotei nere last week and came near setting the hotel on fire. Letter From Mr. Kitchens. Jonesville, S. C., Oct. 22, 1912. Mr. L. M. Rice, Editor The Times, Union, S. C. , Dear Sir and Brother: Will you be kind enough to give me sp?ce in your valuable paper to put myself right before the people on the whiskey situation, and the dispensary proposition. Those who know me, and have associated with me, know that I advocated the dispensary, or any other old thing that would give them whiskey easy. And two weeks I ago I would have voted for it. One week ago last Tuesady I had a glorious experience with the wonderful power of God; and blessed be His name, my heart was changed, consequently my mind was changed on 1 many things. Every man that cast his vote for the legal sale of intoxi- , eating drinks, just as sure as there is a God, and there is one, God will hold them responsible for every murder, every broken hearted widdow, every destituted home, every sin that the legal sale of intoxicating drinks brings on. When we vote against the legal sale of it, and do our duty in trying to keep it out, God will not hold us responsible. Let every man carry in his heart to the polls the picture of the murdered husband, the broken-hearted widdow and three lit- i tie fatherless girls, and the spirit of God to guide and direct him, and I don't fear the results. In the blessed Book we find these words: "There is a way that seemeth 1 right unto man, but the end thereof is death." Oh, spirit of God, get into the hearts of the professed followers of Christ so forcible, and may they receive an application of saving grace so distinrtlv .t.hnt. th*>v will Vbahf 'they are on the right way, and not the way that seemeth right; and be up 1 and doing. Pray as they have never prayed before. God save Union coun- 1 ty from legal sale of whiskey, or any other sale of it. Christianize the hearts of the people, and the sale of it will stop. I could say more but I am taking up too much space. Will see you on your next trip to Jonesville. Want you to make my house headquarters when in Jonesville. Don't wait for an invitation. Thanking you in advance for this favor, I pray the blessing of God may rest upon you and your home. Your Brother in Christ, R. D. Kitchens. TEMPERANCE RALLY Rev. J. L.
