In the main building various busi
ness firms will be advertising their
wares?some, exhibits coming from

hall, it will assume the more digni
fied bearing of a building exhibiting
? -the leading mercantile factors of our
county.
The premiums offered by the Fair
management amounting to nearly
$4,000 has insured that good exhibits
of all kinds will be present. Various
agricultural exhibits, school exhibits,
poultry, live stock and every kind of
exhibits that would appeal to people
generally. The buildings for housing

CALL TO FARMERS.
Meeting at Fair Grounds Wednesday,
at Twelve O'Clock.
A mass meeting of all the farmers
present, whether they are members
of the Farmers' Union or not, will be
held at the Fair Grounds on next
Wednesday, November 15, at twelve
o'clock. This meeting will be heid
for the purpose of giving each and
every farmer an , opportuni\\y to
prove his faith by his works. At the
recent Columbia meeting it was de
cided to have blanks sent all over the
State, and get the farmers to sign
them, promising to hold a certain
number of bales so long a. time, and
at the same time to reduce their
acreage 60 per cent, next year.
The necessary papers have been
mailed to the President of the Far
mers' Union and the Clerk of Court.
Invitations have been sent out for
speakers, and it will be a fine oppor
tunity for the farmers present to en
dorse the movement now on foot and
to save the remainder of this crop for
better prices. Remember the fight
that was won by the farmers of this
count}' twenty years ago against the
Jute trust, and make an effort to bet
ter the present deplorable condition.

The lower floor of this handsome

thrown into one apartment, and the
color scheme here was white and

spacious apartments.
?Preceding the ceremony, Mr3. W.

Promptly at six o'clock, the Or

gift of the groom, an exquisite heart
pendant, studded with pearls and
diamonds. The bride was met at the
altar by the groom, who entered from
a side entrance, with his best ma*,
Mr. C. P. Roberts, Jr.
Here, under a white cornucopia,
from which fell Hilles of the valley
and ferns, they were married by Rev.

To the Citizens of Orangeburg.
Mr. A. H. Marphant, secretary or
the Chamber of Commerce, has re
quested the following statement to

itors will probably be present at the
County Fair than the regular hotels
and boarding houses can possibly ac
commodate. It is therefore incum
bent upon us to make arrangements
to shelter the overflow. We must
oDen our homes at least at night.
Orangeburg can not afford not to fur
nish accommodations to Fair visitors.
Let every home which can possibly
take one or more people for lodging
at night inform us at once, with rate
they charge. In case any meals can
be furnished, kindly inform me whiph
meals and rate. This is a very im
portant matter and the Chamber of
Commerce urges you to act at once.
Let me have this information at the
earliest possible moment."

following invitations, which have
just been issued: "Colonel and Mrs.

"The Rosary."
Can an evil mind breeding evil
thoughts exert an adverse Influence
upon an entire family, bring that
family to ruin, and the members of
the household remain in ignorance
of the reason for their unhappiness?
This Is the question that "The
Rosary," a beautiful new play from
the pen of Edward E. Rose and pro
duced by Messrs. Rowland and Clif
ford, answers in the affirmative. It
will be seen at the Academy of Music
next Monday night.
Conditions such as are shown in
"The Rosary" exist In many Ameri
can homes today. In some the cause
has only just bjgun; in others misery
and sorrow are always at the door.
But "The Rosary" in any ca3e points
the way to happiness and peace. Its
production has been made not so
much with an idea of profit as for
the higher purpose of bringing hap
piness to the American 'home.
"The Rosary" comes direct from
a three months run in Chicago, an
other company is proving the sea
son's dramatic sensation in New
York City, where it is crowding the
Garden Theatre nightly.
