DON'T FORGET THE DATE-OCTOBER 10th Judge J. J. Gentry, of Spartanburg County Proposes Inter-State Fair Association Progressive South Carolinian^ Advocates Combining Re sources of Spartanburg, Greenville and Polk Counties to make an Annual Holiday Event Worth While to Every Resident Judge J. Gentry, former pro bate judge of Spartanbnrg County, who Is now engaged in fruit grow ing and cattle raising near the North Carolina line, and who 'is actively interested n the develop ment of this section has suggested a plan whereby the nothern ends of Greenville and Spartanburg coun ties will be requested to cooperate with Polk County, N. C. in the pro motion of an Interstate Fair, Suitable grounds may be* procured very near the line, and the erection of necessary buildings including a race-track and cattle show pens would give the three counties an ideal location for a really good fair. Chas^ J. Lynch of Tryon is co operating with Judge Gentry to bring this about and every resident of the territory mentioned should be interested in the success of the plan. ers to make such good beer? It seems that years ago the brew ers of that city made such poor, adulterated beer that ' the people protested vigorously to the city council. Laws were passed, specify ing that Munich beer must be made from pure malt and hops. The brewers were frequently . arrested and fines were Imposed. The fines were promptly paid, but the beer did not improve. At last one of the largest and rich est brewers was threatened with a jail sentence. A meeting of all the brewers was hastily called. Munich beer improved overnight. In a few months calls for Munich beer came from neighboring towns, then from neighboring counties* and finally from all parts of the world. into bankruptcy because of inability to compete with adulterating compe* titors, the oldfashioned common sense of the city fathers caused a new period of growth to set in, and the expansion of the brewing busi ness in Munich was the envy of alll Europe. This reminds me of a story I heard this noon about two brothers who were in the milk distributing business. To settle a claim they were forced to take over a small restaurant Knowing nothing about the restaurant business they did! the obvious thing, and served cl?an wholesome foodc Strange to relate, their restaurant business was such a success they were forced to es tablish a chain, and now their I n?| taurants are famous and they oper rom lui pans 01 uie wunu. ... . . , v1, * f>tn mora than ahnndfed at ? local JadMttT ??*??

Our citizens are very much interest ed in a movement to have the high way through Spartanburg to Tryon and Saluda connected up with the hard surfaced road to Asheville.

This route is also what is known as the Appalachian Highway from the mountains to the sea, running from Asheville via Hendersonvllle, Flat Rock, Saluda, Tryon, Landrum, - Spartanburg, Union, Newberry and Columbia to Charleston and is con sidered the most scenic highway to the mountains.
