OUR COMMUNITY FAIRS ^B8 Chesterfield County is not only eij| coming to the front?she is already I in the very vanguard of South Carotiei lina counties. There are three community fairs to be held next week in this county, just prior to the big Chesterfield County Fair. B These community fairs will not only advertise the communities in whichthey are held, but will also ad. _ 1 vertise the county. People all over 1 I the State will "sit up and take notice" of Chesterfield County and Macedonia, Mt. Croghan and Middendorf communities in particular. Good community fairs ure helpful to any community. They are helpful educationally and socially and create and | encourage community pride and live, wide-awake enthusiasm in people, who, perhaps before, felt no pride in their community and did nothing toward bettering the place in which their children have to be reared. The first fair will be held at Macedonia, in the Macedonia school house, near Angelus, Thursday, November 2d. Around Catarrh and Angelus, one will find one of the most progressive sections of Chesterfield County. The people, ever ready to take advantage of an opportunity to better J their community, were not slow in D realizing the benefits to be derived from a Community Fair, and in consequence, preparations are being made for this to be one of the best _ community fairs in South Carolina. United States Senator E. I). Smith has been secured to deliver the address of the day. It will be a treat to hear Senator Smith in addition to viewing the exhibits etc. A hand some premium list has been issued I and numerous prizes offered. The Mt. Croghan Community Fair will be held Friday, November 3d. Messrs. J. H. Ratcliff, W. R. Gibson and Perry M. Therrell, along with other prominent citizens of this town and community are backing this enterprise. A premium list in the form of a neat booklet has been issued, and circulars are being distributed advertising Mt. Croghan's first community fair. The promoters claim this fair will be the best one held in the county this year, and they are putting such enthusiasm and intelligent work into this undertaking that we are firm in the belief that if they are to be beaten at all only another Chesterfield county community can turn the trick. They are built of conquering material up there and will give the other communities a close race ? for that big community fair prize at the County Fair. Secretary Therrell announces that he has secured Hon. D. W. Daniel, Prof, of English at Clemson College, ajj to speak at the community fair. Prof. Q Daniel has an enviable reputation as m a Chautauqua lecturer and a fine m treat is in store for those who hear R him. V The Middendorf Community prides Ik itself (and well it might) because of M the fact that a woman is promoting this fair. Miss Alma G. Perry, the V principal of Middendorf Graded J School, is doing a wonderful work 2 for the community in promoting such an educational enterprise. She has M manni'ed to upmitn .1.1 .. .M. w WUV VUilOlllCi illJIt* 1*119 thusiasm anions the people of Middendorf section and the people are "m taking hold and supporting her admirably. The exhibits that will be A displayed will be a revelation to all 5 who attend the community fair at iMiddendorf, Saturday, November 4. Attend this fair and let it reveal to you the wonders of a little piece of God's country. M A man in Maryland courted his cousin twenty years before he married her. It is fearful to contemplate how long he would court a girl who was not his cousin. One significant fact in connection with the war in Europe is that Germany is calling old men to the service. When these old men are killed Germany will probably be ready to quit. London's new Lord Mayor is a Catholic. When Tom Watson hears this there will be an eruption in Georgia like unto that of Mt. Vesuvius. Joe Sparks, of Columbia, a member of the South Carolina commission to investigate the boll weevil situation in other States, is now on the job. When Joe gets after Mr. Boll Weevil he may as well pack up and leave. ft. The anual report of the Pullman Company shows earnings the past fiscal year of $43,761,465. But supn pose the Pullman porters could be made to show their earnings for the ( same period! They'd make the company's earnings look like 30 cts. Jack Knott was tried in Atlanta for illicit distilling. The jury returned the verdict, "We find Jack Knott guilty."

Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, North Carolinu, has written for The Outlook, an able article defending the South and presenting it in the true ii light. Replying to the oft-repeated a statement that "the South is back- R ward and sectional," he presents facts t and figures that refute the assertions. The article is a timely one, and being t published in The Outlook, of New r York, a journal of national circula- r tion, and of great influence, will be of t much benefit to this section. c Space forbids giving as much of ji this splendid defence of the South as we would like to present to our read- t ers, but there are some sentences that t we cannot refrain from quoting: j "So far from the South being the t most sectional part of America, I weigh my words when I declare my \ belief that it is in opinion and sym- t pathies the least sectional, the most t ?*: 1 < * uiunuij nauuimi pan 01 America today. In other words the South has taken into its heart and has fairly appraised the heroes of the North as the North has not yet recoived and appraised the heroes of the South." "Nearly every educated friend, like myself reads some Northern or Western newspaper. I wonder how many men in the North read such a paper as the Columbia "State," with its blending of southern spirit with national patriotism." Referring to the fact that nowhere < is the sanctity of home more highly regarded, he points to the fact that of all the States, South Carolina is the only one having no divorce laws; no where is commercialism and lust for money less rampant, wher the public service has been freerer from graft and corruption; or where such notable progress has been made in grappling with that arch-enemy of all spiritual agencies, the whisky evil. Mr. Poe quotes from that great and gifted New England Senator, George F. Hoar, this statement: "As I grow older 1 have learned not only to respect and esteem, but to love the great qualities which belong to my fellow citizens of the Southern States. They are a noble race. Their love of home, their chivalrous respect for woman, their courage, their delicate sense of honor, their constancy which can abide by an opinion or purpose or an interest for their < States through adversity and through < prosperity, through the years and through the generations, are things i by which the people of the more mer- ' curial North may take a lesson." 1 Mr. Poe closes his article with this paragraph: "In the language of the l unforgetable quotation with which -Mississippi's soldier-statesman, La| mar, closed his eulogy of Charles Sumner, "My countrymen, Know one another better and you will love one ' another." i Mr. Poe has done a distinct service 1 to the South in this fine article in one i of the great journals of the North? a service of wide influence and of lasting effect. The Democratic candidate for governor of Tennessee is named "Rye" and the Republican candidate is named "Overall." There are a couple of good puns somewhere about this paragraph and if old man Aftermath " were here he would find them. The State has discovered some vir- ., tue in lynching. It says: "While in s Georgia the boll weevils may acquire v the lynchinv habit and destroy one ^ another." LAND POSTED All persons are forbidden to hunt on my lands. .'13 W. 1. BURR.

WILL SAVE YOU MONEY ON ALL OF TOUR CLOTHING, OVERCOATS, HATQ Awn cunrcc Jack's Corner By Jack Horner Primary elections and evils attendng them being over and now at a afe distance, we can very profitably ;o into some of the things that tend o lower the standards of politics. It is the civil right o * every citizen o exercise the right of suffrage, that ight to be exercised as his conscience nay direct, so long as it does not inerfere with the rights and liberties 1 if others. Then lie is to have the jood of all at heart. Some of the things that entered in- ' o the primary elections just passed j hat might lower our political ideals 1 ire betting on elections and vote-get- j ,ing by coercion. It was common report that there : vas betting in some of the races in 1 ,his county this time, and it will be .imely warning to let tho people know vhere such a practice would lead, and low is the time to stamp it with your iisapproval. Gambling is not supposed to be alowed in any form under the laws of 5outh Carolina. It would tend to cor*upt politics to allow betting to con,inue. If a party bets on a certain result it is likely that he will spend a rertain per cent, of what he hopes to ivin in the endeavor to make sure of lis winning. This in itself would be i violation of the South Carolina election laws and if alolwed to continue ivill bring about an unhealthy condition in the politics of the State. When large sums of money are at stake the ones making the wager are likely to be tempted to use unlawful methods, such as coercion and intimidation, to bring to pass the result on which they have risked their money. There can be but one safe rule in politics and that is to allow each man to exercise his right of suffrage in the sacred precincts of his own conscience. These precincts should not be invaded by anyone, not even the office-seeker himself. I believe that South Carolina should pass such laws as would safe-guard | her primaries. The voting should be done inside a booth and no tickets allowed on the outside, letting each individual cast his vote privately, with no one but himself and the managers of the election. Under such a method no one would be allowed to influence votes at the polls.

It will not be my purpose to start a newspaper controversy, nor to deal in personalities.
