Toll Bridge Hearing
Set For October
I
(Anderson Daily Mail.)
Hearing on the matter of the toll
bridge over Savannah river near An
derson is to be delayed until Octo
ber, according to a letter from Maj.
Dan 1. Sutton, of the war department,
to A. N. Alford, of Hartwell, Ga.,
owner of the bridge. A copy of the
letter was sent tp C. H. Moorefield,
South Carolina highway engineer.
The hearing had been set for the
early part of the month, but the
illness of Mr. Alford prevented its
being held. He requested that the
hearing be held the latter part of
September, but. Major Sutton was un
able to make arrangements for that
date, and has suggested some day
in the early part of October as suit
able.
The question of freeing the bridge
has caused considerable discussion;
and recently Mr. Moorefield and R.
E. Ligon, member of the state high
way commission at Anderson, recent
-4y went to Washington to consult
with members of the war department
concerning the matter.

Many New Features Will Be
Seen This Year—“ Queen”
For Pageant Will Be
Named In Contest
Committees In Various Department*
Hard At Work—‘'Dry Weather”
Exhibits Will Be Interesting
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
October 16, 17, 18, are the dates
set for the Hart County Fair, and
indications point to one of the best
exhibits the county has ever had,
with large attendance each day.
Added features this year will cre
ate more than usual interest, one of
them being a big pageant on the
second day, for which a “Queen”
and six attendants will be chosen by
popular vote from Hart county be
tween now and the date set, Friday,
October 17th.
Fireworks every night, and varied
other attractions will be given, and
with enthusiastic committees at work
in every department, headed by Mr.
H. W. Bingham and Miss
the fair in every way will be more
attractive, it is thought, than ever
before.
Exhibits.
Exhibits at the fair this fall will
be somewhat on the lines of last
year, in that all the cotton and all
the corn exhibits will be placed to
gether, in order\to make these two
crops show up ax they should >«•
shown. The r#st of exhibits will be
in the form of community groups
and prizes will be offered for these
group exhibits.
It is expected that the display of
cotton exhibits in the way of good
stalks, better seed, and better lint
will be the best ever held in the
State of Georgia. There are ev
eral varieties of cotton being push
ed in Hart county by various per
sons, and it is expected that earn
of these persons will do all they
can to see that their variety of cot
ton in displayed to advantage. Pla
cards, posters, charts, etc., will be
used as they have never been be
fore, in order that every visitor will
be able to understand the good qual
ities of each variety. The I'ure
seed Associations of the county will
endeavor to advertise the good qual
ities of their seeds.
Will Be Varied.
The same thing will be true of
corn. It is expected that the t.
corn show ever held in this sect .tn
of the state will be seen at the Hart
County Fair. The promoters of
some of the varieties are giving
large imperial prizes for best ten-ear
and stalk exhibits, and this will
bring out some fine specimens of
corn. Labels, placards, charts, etc.,
will be used to point out the advan
tages of a good variety of corn.
Cover Crops Exhibit.
Cover crops will come in for a
good share in exhibits this year.
Some may wonder how these may be
exhibited, but it will be done al
right, and in the most effective man
ner you ever saw. Cover crops are
coming into favor in Hart county,
and in order to hurry the thing along,
the fair is going to do all it can to
bring the importance of them before
the people who come to the fair.
Some very novel exhibits in this line
will be prepared by the fair itself.
We do not want to tell you more
about the details now. Come and
see.
Some other special exhibits will be
put on by the fair itself, in order
to point out some good features of
Hart county farming.
Entertainment.
It is expected that the entertain
ment this year will be very attrac
tive to all. In addition to some of
the best local talent in the county,
there will be imported shows, vaude
villes, repertoires, etc., which will
provide amusement for all persons.
The Fair Association is in touch with
such amusements at the present time,
and the full presentation will be
given you at an early date.
School Grounds.
The fair will be held on the
school grounds again this year, and
all exhibits and displays will be in
the school buildings. The class rooms
will provide an unusual scheme for
arrangements, which should attract
everyone.
o
TAX BOOKS ARE OPEN
Tax Collector W. J. A. Cleveland
announces that his books are now
open for receiving payment on 1924
taxes, and states he will be glad to
accommodate all who wish to attend
to this duty early in the fall.
The tax levy is now running in
The Sun, showing where the funds
will be expended.
