Space has been allotted many exhibitors and others are filing entries daily. In addition to the exhibits enumerated in the Premium List there will be quite a number of new mechanical devices shown. The Delco Home Lighting Plant will be shown complete. Arrangements have been made whereby the Teal Light and Power Company will furnish light and power continuously. The United States Navy Recruiting Station will have an exhibit that will be of special interest. They will display a torpedo gun and other guns, torpedoes, bombs and other weapons that helped rid the seas of the German U Boats. This exhibit will be in charge of Yoemen D. H. Wilson and W. A. Kirkley, now handling the Navy's exhibit at the State Fair. The farmers are showing an unusual interest in this year's fair and that insures its success and justifies the association in making expensive preparations. If negotiations jiow being carried on terminate successfully a passenger carrying aeroplane will be secured to take up these who wish to try the modern way of traveling. The free shows will surpass anything yet seen here and good clean entertainment will be continuous from opening to closing time. Good music will be furnished by two bands.

Mr. Hearn looks just like a man who ' x can sympathyze with and criticize a 1 poor correspondent like me. News is rather scarce this week,but ' first of all I'll give the fae's about ' cotton. The farmers are almost v through picking and selling as there J svas only about a half a crop in this H section. The farmers are enjoying a * handsome price for the fleecy staple ^ at our home market. Jefferson is the leading market in J the State, with six buyers. There ( have been 5,000 bales ?>f long and 1 short cotton bought and weighed at Jefferson to date. At a future date I'll give the number of bales each buyer has bought. The highest price s paid was 41 cents-for short staple J: and 61 cents for long. Mr. David L. Kirkley is weigher, giving general satisfaction. '] The Lee Mercantile Co. at Angelus ^ is buying cotton and giving a price equal to Jefferson. Angelus is com- ? ing to the front with two stores now open, the Lee Mercantile Co. and M. v O. Gleach, and Messrs. f'harlie and 1 Lloyd Jordan will be in their new ^ ( building by November 1st, with a nice, fresh stock of general merchan- ^ <1 ise, in a handsome new building 60 ' x24 feet, neatly painted. So you see f Angelus is among those towns in the " county that are coming to the front. u Mr. B. 11. Finlayson and family, v formerly of Angelus, who have been in Itowesville, S. C., will, in the near ^ future, move back in this section to make their home. _ Miss Acsa McCaskell spent Wednesday in Jefferson and is now spending a few days in Kershaw, S.

At an early date I'll be able to make known their business. , Mrs. Asca Miles, who has been suffering from eancer, is now apparent- t ly well as a result of recent treat- s ment. t Mr. Henry Knight, who is attend- ^ ing school at Chesterfield, spent Sat- s| urday and Sunday at home. Henry (J says Chesterfield has a nice school, and it is well attended. Little Ross Knight, who had his v collar hone fractured a few days ago, ( is now well. Mr. T. A. (iullcdge has a large r crew of hands cutting shingles near ( here and is selling them locally. ( Mrs. J. C. Halrymple, of Mt. Croghan, with her two sons, Reese and (J Johnnie, with Baxter MeLaurin, , spent Sunday at the home of the writer. Mr. J. C. Munn will have lumber j cut for a new home as soon as he can find a man with a mill. (1 With all th<? sinus of the times and | all the preaching and praying there are stil! hundreds of people who don't think they ought to go to church or j Sunday school, but go joy ruling on Sundays. The Sunday school at Fork Creek s regrets very much that Miss Mary ( Kirkley gave up her class to make her v home in Hartsville this winter. ' Mrs. Cattie Johnson, who has been 1 in poor health for some time, is now r improving. There is need for more teachers in M the county. There are several va- 1 fancies still unfilled. 1 Our school lost two of its pupils, 1 Misses I.illie Belle and Jnnie M< Caskill. W. J.

Wells lgainst the Philadelphia Life Insurxnce Company that was on trial last seek, resulted in Judge Townsend di ecting a verdict in favor of the de'endant, the jury not being permitted o pass upon the evidence. The Judge efused a new trial. The plaintiff vill appeal to the Supreme Court. 1'his is the case in which Mrs. Wells ought to collect a i?,UUO dollar insurmcc policy on the life of her hus>and. The defendant company 'laitned that the policy had not been iccepted by them prior to the death >f Mr. Wells and was therefore not n effect in-time to be binding. This week three cases have been ried. The case of Mrs. C. V. Jordan s. John C. Steen resulted in a nonuit. Mrs. Jordan's attorneys have iven notice of an appeal to the Suirenic Court. Sam Ratlitf vs. R. D. Teal for amazes resulted in the jury finding or Ratlitf against Mr. Teal for $75. >am was also awarded the possession f a mule, valued at $i.r>0. Ernest Melton's suit against J. A. Vatson caused a good deal of interst. Mr. Melton claimed that Mr. Vatson rented him a restaurant in Iheraw and then took it away from iim without rhyme or reason and withheld the contents. Mr. Watson laimed that Mr. Melton was behind r? the payment of rent and had volmtarily turned over the keys to the stablishment. The jury found a erdict in favor of Mr. Watson. Court is expected to adjourn on Yiday. "REATY SQUABBLE CONTINUES More reservations, more amend, nents, more long speeches, and more lolitical dickering, and bucking and illing and interminable hair-splitting ?that continues to be the story of irocoedings in the United States Senate, as day after day and week ifter week passes without tiny deli iit?* or otherwise progressive action in the peace treaty. No wonder the President is ill?the he whole country is rapidly getting iek of this Senatorial child/ play, his failure of the Senate to 'act on he Peace Treaty and to recognize mil remedy the other crying needs if the times. Of course everybody wants provision made for the permanent prevention of foreign wars, if that be lossible, but every thoughtful person ilso realizes that at the present monent the gravest danger that conYon ts America is the seething inlustrial unrest, the danger of violrice from within and not from withiut our borders; and unless Congress urns quickly to the work of dealing v i t h and remedying our domestic ndustrial troubles by appropriate egislation, we may soon be confront d by a situation which will be more langerous to our country than would ie the menace of war with any or all ither countries. NDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE ENDS The Public Group has adjourned ine die and the National Industrial 'onference at Washington,* from vhich so much was expected in con lection with the settlement of dilferrice between capital and labor, has esulted in a comnlete failure.
