SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11. COUNTY FIS, MORE IMPORTANT FffiTORS THAN EVER BEFORE, NOW THAT SOUTHERN FARMERS IST CHANCE AGRICUETURAE METHODS, NOW BEGINNING During the Next Few Weeks County Agricultural and Live Stock Shows Will Be Held at Batesburg, Lexington, Green wood, Orangeburg, S. C., and Millen, Thomson, Statesboro, Washington, Ga., and Other Places, and Efforts Are Being Put Forth Everywhere to Make the Fairs of Actual Benefit to the Farmers As Well As to Afford the People Enter tainment and Amusement. FAIR DATES IN GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA. Tri-County B'air, Batesburg, S. C., October 13. 14. 15. Four County Fair, Millen, Qa„ October 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. Bulloch County Fair, Statesboro, Ga„ begins October 20. I.exington County Fair, I.exlng tor, S. C.. October 20. 21, 22, Piedmont B'air, Greenwood, S. C„ begins October 28. Orangeburg County Fair, Orange burg, S. C„ Nov. 10, 11, 12. 13. 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 BURG BEGINS TUESDAY. . Batesburg, S. C.—Tuesday. October 13th the Tri-County Fair will open for a three-day agricultural, live-stock sn2 fine arts show. Some very suc < es.Ai ll fairs have been held here dur ing recent y-ears. the shows attracking each fall large numbers of people from throughout the three counties of Lex ington. Saluda and Aiken. Ixtcated in the heart of the rich and fertile ‘'Ridge" section of South Car olina, Batesburg is recognized as the Ideal spot for the three-cornered fair. This vyear, as in years past, splendid exhibits are to be made by some of the most successful "Ridge” farmers— 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 are many others who. like Mr. Rut land, are entering cattle and hogs which have taken prizes and blue ribbons at larger fairs —In Columbia, at Augusta and at Richmond, Va. The women of this section take a lively Interest In the Trt-County Fair, and some splendid examples of their handlwok will be shown as usual.

The people throughout the counties of Burke. Screven, Bulloch, Emanuel and Jenkins are deeply interested In the fair movement.

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.
