THE COUNTY FAIR
Every county fair should be an in
structive event, as well as a pleasant
and social affair. For the people to
meet once a year to renew old ac
quaintances and making new ones,
should naturally be a joyous occas
sion and appeal to every citizen of
the county.
The exhibition of farm products
and live stock, the display of home
made articles, canned fruits., home
baked cakes and so forth, as a mat
ter of course, are the principle fea
tures. These naturally are but put
ting the “best foot formost,” however,
they serve to call for the best art
and skill of the exhibitors, and pro
voke others, no doubt, to endeavor to
do things better.
It is perfectly right to reward those
making best exhibits, by awarding
suitable prizes. There is that growing
out of the improvements brought
about by friendly competition, which
is calculated to make homes more
pleasant and enjoyable.
Eairs should be inspirational to all
of our public schools. They should
have no little part on the fair’s pro
gram should be given such recogni
tion and attentions as to cause them
to look forward to it with enthusiasm
and expectancy. The most important
thing with all of us is, how we are
touching and influencing youth and
childhood for in these are we living
most largely, and from their lives |
we will reap our greatest harvest,
either good or evil. Is this true phi
losophy? Is it a fact? If so, then let
us be exceedingly careful what we
place before them. Lets keep all so
cial environments as pure and right
eous as possible.
We should hold up before them
high mental ami moral standards, and
inspiriational ideals. Do the best we
can for them, then they will see
enuogh of the world's vices and re
ceive enuogh (yea too much) of sin’s
stains.
Our plea is for the youths, the hope
of the country, give them a fair
chance to make of themselves, what it
is possible for them to do, by so do
ing render a great service to church
and state.
May our fair program have nothing
in it but what will appeal to the best
that is within them-- nothing that will
appeal to their lower natures.

KINDRED SPIRITS
There is a relationship between the
vices which is more than a mere
friendly relationship. One vice beck
ons another, and one leads to anoth
er. A young man who began twenty
years ago by yielding to a single vice
of intemperance, made way for one
after another, until he discovered that
a group of evil spirits had taken up
their abode in his heart, in something
like the following order, Intemperance
secretiveness, carelessness, neglect,
profanity, lying, cruelty, dishonesty,
worthlessness, licentiousness, Sab
bath breaking, house-breaking, theft.!
And the connecting between all
these was a natural one. From the be
ginning to the end, one led naturally
to another.
There is a similar connection be
tween the virtues and it is just as
natural and as philosophical. The
building of a new school house on a
certain street led naturally to further
improvements in pavements, retain
ing walls, fences, lawns and houses,
until the whole town had been affect
ed. The purchase of a new carpet led

The relationship exist between the
■Christian graces.
They are united by more than a
friendly bond. There is a vital rela
tionship. They are kindred spirits.
Where one abides vcomfortably, the
rest want to enter and abide. And
each one that enters makes easier ,
.for the rest to follow.
So, also, is there a vital relation
ship between faith and the Christian
graces, like that which exist between
the foundation and the building, or
tween root and the All true b
morality is born spiritually, and all I
complete morality is born of the spir-j
ituality created and maintained by'
Christian faith. Where laith is, theie
will be vision, aspiration, transfrma
tion. Add to your faith virtue, and to
virtue knowledge, and so forth.
The ideal man is the Christian man.
The graces mentioned in the second
epistle of Peter are Christian graces.
Christianity enjoins them. Jesus
Christ himself is the only perfect ex
ample of them. Christians practice
them, and are known by them and
they all grow from faith, which
builds the soul to God, and which is
the most practical in this world of
ours.
Calhoun and Gordon county are
paving the way for some new indus
tries in the movement to exempt
them from taxation for a period of
five years. Every forward looking
citizen should chime right in, help
carry the proposition over on elec
tion day . Forty-odd other counties
have already voted the exemption,
and we must do it, or be left out when
the new mills take up the matter of
moving south, as they are soon going
to do in large numbers.
—Calhoun Times.
From the above we gather that the
Gordon county people have the same
proposition before them that we in
Chattooga have. It is very evident
that the big eastern mills are no go
ing to build more mills in the cast,
they are coming south, where mill
conditions are more favorable, help
of a better character can be had, and
1 where they will be closer to the raw
material. The sections offering the
greatest inducements will get them.
We hope the people of Chattooga will
vote to exempt them from taxation
for the limited time. In the long run
it will be good business for the coun
ty. The grand jury has so recommend
ed, the ordinary has called an elec
tion. Let’s put is over.
Car Load Boy’s Club Pigs Shipped to
Southeastern Fair Today.
Thursday, Sept. 30th, the boy’s pig
club will lie loading a car of club
pigs to send to the Southeastern fair.
There are some tine pigs in the lot
and we would like you to come and
see them. They liwl be exhibited to
gether with other pigs that do not go
ito the Southeastern at the county
fair, Oct. 14 ami 15.
This is the third bunch of pigs rais
ed by Chattooga county boys.
In both 1924 and 1925 our pigs have
won creditable prizes at the South
eastern fair and we believe this lot
will do the same.
Another thing. Gilts raised in the
club work in 1924 and 1925 are al
ready in production and bringing in
a profit to the boys.
One gilt farrowed in March, 1924,
. has brought three litters of pigs, to
-1 tailing 39 in all. And her owner has
{sold about $l5O worth of pigs from
i the first two litters.
We hope that by next year there
’ will be enough of these producing
sows to help supply the county with
- high-grade pigs and bring a sub
’jstantial revenue to their owners. So
5 far a large part of the pigs have been
i'used in the pig club, and this will
r I continue to furnish a market for a
-'number of the best. Probably there
.'will be a demand from other counties
-jfor good pigs for this purpose.

ever breed they want. This year we

be glad to get other breeds if desired.
LET'S GET ACQUAINTED
Let us make you acquainted
with the farm demonstration work.
Farm demonstration work has been
going on for several years in the
county. A great many of the farmers
of the county know the Co. Agent, at
least, by sight, and he has visited
several hundred farms. You probab
ly know something about some of the
'things that are being undertaken.
But it is doubtful whether many of
the farmers of the county know just
what this work is or what are the pro
jects undertaken, or the methods pro
posed to carry them out.
The best success of the work re-I
quires the knowledge and coopera
tion of a large number of the farm-;
ers of the county, and in order to help
bring this about there will be an ex- i
hibit at the fair, intended to show
what is being attempted and how it
is planned to accomplish the objec-;
tives.
This exhibit will be placed at the
north door of the court house, and
everybody is invited to examine it, :
carefully.
Let’s get acquainted.
Mrs. Q. W. Amoly and son, John,
of Fort Mills, S. C., and who are en
route to LaGrange, are stopping with
the former’s mother, Mrs. J. Dennis.
