FAIR
Urges TM Mailer be Given Con

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."

OUTLINES PLANS
A Conference is to Be Held to
Discuss the Matter Thor
oughly. 1
An active campaign for a
"whit? way" in Washington will
soon be started in thin city an<t
pushed forward as rapidly is pos
sible, according to information
riven out this morning. A coin*
mittee has already been appoints!
hv the Chamber of Commereo to
4??eiuw the matter with a light
in:! export, who will be in the nity
in a week or two, and other pro
limiliary plan? have been made.
H. B. Charles. superintendent
of the local light plant, when seen
in regard to the matter this morn
ing. stated that he hoped the pro
jeet would be carired out sucess
fully and admitted that he had
had it under consideration for
some time. Mr. Charles' plans,
which are only tentative and more
in the line of sugestions, are a*
follows:
He states that according to his
views, the best idm would be to
erect pr?*?*?d stool posts, bearing
a sinele lamp of lartre candle
power. Tht**? poh*s. he suggests,
*h?>uld 1? plac<\i alone the street
at intervals of loO f?iet; not op
posite earh other but alternately,
so that a space of but 50 feet sep*
amies light from light. At the
corner of Main and Market
rtrwiN Mr. Charles would put.
four of thesis poles, ono on each
corner of the square. According
In lii<; preliminary plan, the light
ing would extend along Main
street from the A. C. L. depot to
below Market street land along
Market *treei as far as the post
office. The system could be ad
cd to a-- required.
At the eonferonce which is to be
htld to discuss this matter, all
details will bo brought up and
thoroughly gone over. It is be
lieved ihat the property owners
along the streets will agree to pay
fo rtho erection of the poles?
which will cm t about. $25 each?
nn-1 the eitv will agree to furnish
the eurernt.
