LEACH ADVOCATES FAIR Urges TM Mailer be Given Con sideration WOULD BENEFIT CITY AND COUNTY Suggests Plans by Whisk Pro' ject Could Be 8tarted in Washington. That some Attempt should be made to have a oounty fair in Washington this fall, was the statment made this inorxmig by Cspt George T. Leach. Mr. Loach expressed himself as hear tily in favor of thja project and urged that it be given immediate attention and that the resident* of both city and country give it tfceir consideration. "The counties all around us have their annual fair," said Capt Leach, "and there is no reason why we should not have not have one here in Washington. A fair is of great benefit to the communi ty in which it is held.. It brings the city and country people closer er together; rt advertises the re source* of this section; it encour ages the farmers to give more at tention to bettering their crops it intensifies community interest and it is a good thing in every way you look at it. "This is a proposition that some organization, tho Chamber of Commerce for instance^ would do well to get in back of and givelt their support. I sincerelv^ope that the matter., will b^fgt?en the consideration that it deserves and that we will be able to have this fnir this fall. It will mean a lot to us anl it will show the outside world what Beaufort coutfty can do in the way of rflsing good crops. "Another way of going about the thing, is to form a fair asso ciation, let thein elect officers, take stock in the project, and float ?the matter in this way. In a number of cities, this is dond suc cessfully and has proven a^ nuwt orofi table investment to those who have interested themselves in it."
