This weekk the county fairs begin
in this section of Georgia and South
Carolina, and next week the agricul
tural and live stock shows wi. be in
full blast.
It apparently is realized that county
fairs right now are more important
than at any time during recent years,
that these county shows should be
held and atended this year of all
years. The advantages that can be
gained by farmers meeting together,
discussing plans for another year now
that the south is on the eve of an ag
ricultural revolution, how the lands
which the limitation of cotton acreage
will release can be most profitably
used, and the inspiration furnished
by agricultural displays made by men
who have already turned to diversi
fied farming and throughout that
medium or through raising live stock
and cattle worked out their own sal
vation —these advantages are offered
by the county fairs as by
nothing else. The exhibits show
what has been done and what can be
done in the section of country where
the fairs are held.
Rather than eliminating the fairs
this year because of the unusual con
ditions prevailing throughout the
south, Batesburg, I.exington, Green
wood, Orangeburg and other places
South Carolina, and Thomson.
. rCL'ti, Statesboro, Washington and
other cities in Georgia have pressed
forward to impress upon the farmers
of a wide section of country through
county fairs, the opportunities that
await the man who tills the soil and
plants, beside cotton, a variety of field
crops, who raises cattle, hogs, horses,
and mules.
It is the farmer himself, the farmer
who has blazed the trail, who fur
bishes the best inspiration by his
experience and by the display of what
he has dine, to his fellow farmers.
Theory becomes fact.
County fairs educate along lines of
agriculture, horticulture and country
life, and where they have been held
■successively and successfully- for a
lb umber of y-ears those sections of
country reflect benefits traceable to
these institutions of common good and
profit. Demonstration work, through
boys’ corn clubs and girls' tomato and
canning clubs, have more recently be
come factors at county fairs, no less
so than what is done to encourage the
live stock industry.
Of course, to make a holiday, and
to furnish harmless entertainment, the
carnival is always there, the side
shows. the fakir and the band.
On some of the county fair grounds
prominent men will speak and special
features —school contests. Confederate
Veterans days, old fiddlers contests
and other things equally as pleasant
—have been provided to assure large
attendance on particular occasions
TRI-COUNTY FAIR AT BATES

farmers w-ho live at home, producing
their own supplies, and grow cotton
as a surplus -money crop.
The live stock exhibit to be made
by Mr M. E. Rutland is of Itself worth
traveling many miles to see, but there

ribbons at larger fairs —In Columbia,
at Augusta and at Richmond, Va.

lively Interest In the Trt-County Fair,

handlwok will be shown as usual.

FOUR COUNTY FAIR AT MILLEN
BEGINS OCTOBER 27.
Millen Ga.—The management of the
Four County Fair Association now
have everything in motion to pull off
one of the biggest fairs ever held in
Georgia outside of the larger cities.
The object of the fair is three-fold,
first: to encourage diversifeation of
crops, second, to create a deeper in
terest in the raising of live stock and
lastly to further the best interests
of the farmers of Southeast Georgia.
The people throughout the counties
of Burke. Screven, Bulloch, Emanuel
and Jenkins are deeply interested In
the fair movement. This fact is prov
en daily by the large number of In
quiries received by- the secretary- from
the people throughout the five coun
ties composing the fair association.
The moving spirits behind the Five
County Fair Association are Mr. J. R.
Miller, editor of the Statesboro News,
and J. K. Burkhalter of the Millen
News. Their efforts together with the
hearty- co-operation of the fhrmers,
business men and the ladies, assures
the success of the fair. The ladies
department promises to be one of the
most interesting and attractive fea
tures of the fair.
All the railroads coming Into Millen
will give reduced rates during fair
w-eek. They will also carry all ex
hibits one way free.
Plenty of music and Coney Island
attractions have been secured and fair
week at Millen, which begins Tues
day, Oct. 27th and ends Saturday, Oct.
31st. promises to be as entertaining
as profitable.
LEXINGTON COUNTY FAIR,
OCTOBER 20-22.
Lexington, 8. C.—October 20, 21 and
22 will be big days for this town and
county. The 18th annual fair of the
Lexington County Fair Association
will be in full sway. Notwithstanding
the fact that the European war has
demoralized the cotton market and has
stifled every business enterprise the
country over, the 1914 Lexington fair
promises to he up to the usual high
standard of excellency.
Organized 18 years ago, the Lexing
ton fair is one of the oldest county
fairs in South Carolina. Each year
has brought new life and new inter
est into the enterprise. Other county
fairs have come and gone, but the
Lexington fair is scheduled to go on
forever. Lexington being purely an
agricultural county, the greatest in
terest always centers around the ag
ricultural department, which is al
ways the equal agricultural ex
hibit in the country .in point of ex
cellence.
Among the first promoters of the
fair were: Capt, J. H. Counts. Hon.
C. M. Efrid ,Hon, D. Frank Efrid, now
secretary of the South Carolina State
Fair, Hon. Thos. 1,. Harman, Col. M.
T). Harman, Hon. Geo. S. Drafts, Hon.
Frank W. Shealy, Thos. P. Meetze and
W. Q M. Berley. All of these gentle
men are now associated with the fair,
most of them in an official way, ex
cept Capt. Counts, who died several
years ago. The present officers of the
association are: Hon. C. M. Efrid,
president; H. R. Dreher, T. L. Har
man, G. A. Gulgnard, vice presidents;
Co. M. D. Harman, secretary, O. B.
Wlngard, treasurer; Thos. L. Harman,
general superintendent; Sam J. Leap
hart, assistant superintendent. The
executive committee is composed of;
J, C. Fulmer, H. A. Lorick, B. D.
Clarke, Samuel B. George, Dr. D. M.
Crosson, W. Q. M. Berley, Geo. W.
Reeder, T. H. Caughman, W. B.
Taylor, C. W. Caughman, James E.
Rawl, T. P. Meetze and J. D. Low
man.
The officers of the association are
bending every energy to make this,
the 18th annual exhibition, the best in
the history of county fairs. General
Superintendent Harman has secured
the best line of attractions to be had
and the midway promises to be a big
fair within itself.
The horse and mule departments
bid fair to be the largest and beet ever
seen In the county. Already the en
tries are pouring in for these depart
ments, and the very finest horse flesh
will be seen. Much Interest centers
In the arena events, which will be held
every day. An expert judge of horse
flesh will award the premiums.
Thursday, October 22, the last day
of the fair, will be old soldiers’ day.
Every old soldier In the county, and
all others who may attend, will be
admitted to the grounds free The
noble women of Islington will serve
dinner to the old eonfeds and those In
charge of the occasion hope to make
this the largest re-unlon of old sol
diers held In the county In recent
years. Gen. B. H. Teague, of Aiken;
Congressman A. F. I>ever. and others
will make addresses. Possibly the
strongest drawing card for Old Sol
diers Day will he the coming of Hon
Rbhard I. Manning, governor-nomi
nate for South Carolina. While no def
inite statement has been received from
the governor-elect it is known that
strong Influences are being brought
to hear upon him to vlalt the Lexing
ton fair and make an address on Cld
Soldiers’ day. He haa algnlfled hia
intention of attending if poasihle. The
governor-elect is a warm frieno of the
farmers, being an extensive planter
himself and having been reared on a
farm. He is greatly interested in the
county fairs of the state, and he has
promised to visit the Lexington fair
if possible. This will he the first pub
public address of the new governor
elect since the strenuous campaign
last summer. His address, however,
will be non-political, and at this crit
ical time what he will have to say
will be of especial Interest to the pub
lic.
With good weather the atendanoe is
certain to be large. The Lexington
fair always serves as a great gather
ing place for the people from every
section of the county, and aside from
the educational features, the social
life of the county will gather on this
occasion for a jolly good time.

residences, Mrs. Dr. Smith and others; and we
have them here in the store for demonstration and
explanation.
We can show you why there will never be
any chance for smoke or fumes to get into the
house, from our Furnaces, and this is what makes
them “Sanitary.” In addition, we can equip
them with Automatic Humidifiers, if desired.

We are still doing the Roofing and Sheet

We have just secured the contract for the
entire work of this kind on the new City Hall and

CONCLUSION
And, we would like to convey the Idea to all
that McCarrel is practical. He has had the Ex
perience. Go ask Mr. Chas. Estes about him and
see what he says. When McCarrel was running
the Mills across the river, which have just hit the
ceiling, he had them up to such a high state of
efficiency that they were among the very few
in the south that did not have to curtail or shut
down, when conditions were so drastic three
years ago.
McCarrel is able to take the view of the Con
sumer at all times. He has been a great Con
sumer of all kinds of building materials.
Call on us—see how accommodating we are.
We do not mind the trouble.
