Mr. BeU Tells All About W hat It I To Ue and 1 utile Ever) body To lie tveiit. tDy T. J. Betta.) Marshville. Oct. 23. On next Wednesday at 9 o'clock a. ox. will begin the greatest event that has ev er Ukea I' lace in Union county. The loan vtill be Marshille and the place will be at the Fair Grounds on the lot surrounding the cotton ware house. Everything is being put la shape (or holding the biggest county fair the county Las ever known. The large tent. 100x130 feet, will be put up on Monday ready for ex hibits of all kinds, and it is expected that every entry of whatever nature will be in place by Wednesday noon, so that the judging may be done on the iiit-i day. This is important, since by having the judging done the first day, every visitor therea.ter knows wao Is the winner. From every nook and corner of this county men. women and children are coming to behold the vast exhibits of I'uion county farmers. Reports also from adjoining counties foretell that hundreds and hundreds of peo ple are coming from them also. It is a safe prediction that more peo ple will visit Marshville during the fair than has ever been known to gather for any like occasion. Hon. L. D. Robinson, candidate for Congress will be present to open the fair, and the speech he promises to make will be a gem indeed. The gigantic shows of the Majestic Amusement Co.. will be in full swing ou the opening, day and each day thereafter, and there will be no end of amusement and intertainment of many kinds. Everyone will find just the kind of amusement which they are especially fond, and a great big time will be had iu every particular. On the second day many new fea tures will be udJed, chief among them being the horse races. This feature promises to surpass anything of the kind tt seen in the county. Besides the many fast horses owned by Marshvillo horsemen, many from .Monroe and other points will be pres ent. Liberal prizes have been ar ranged for. and it is certain that every lover of horses and horse rac ing will be amply rewarded for his coming, in seeing something worth while ia this connection. Also on second day, every merchant of Marsh ville is going to make special induce ments in their stores and we don't hesitate to say that you can save more money by coming to Marshville on that day lor your shopping, than you could anywhere else in the State. Vhen. you can take advantage of the fair and still be a way ahead in the same. The third day will be set apart as County Kducation Day. and It Is ex pected that all the school children of the county will be present, with teachers and officials. Mr. Joyner will probably be here to make an ad dress and perhaps others interested in educational matters. On this day the Majestic Amusement Co. will put on special programs for the children and will aid in every possible way in making the day one long to be remembered for the school children of I'nion county. Saturday. October 21, Is the last day and the highest day of all the fair. Many express the belief that we will see eight to ten thousand visitors nt that time. And why shouldn't we? Again on this day we have the horse races in a final round up, and the winner cf these races will have an animal that he might well be proud of. The shows will do double duty that day and night and be pre pared to entertain all who come. But, the main big feature of the day will be an address by Hon. Cole I.. Blease, Ex-Governor of South Carolina. The exact time of Mr. Mease's speaking hit;) net been determined, but will be announced later. For thU one fea ture alone, it is expected that no Usj than 5000 visitors will be pres ent. .Mr. Illease Is a man different from all others. He is a fearless speaker, never dodpinv an issue and always says just what he believes, letting the consequence take cue of themselves. You have heard and rend a great deal about this great man and now you are afforded an op portunity to see and hear him for yourself of course you will take ad Vantage of it. llr. Blease may use as his subject: "Woodrow Wilson, and why he should be re-eelcted." He that as it may. any subject he might choose will be well handled, and don't you forget II. In conclusion the fair manscement wishes to emphasize the following points: The tent will be ready by Tuesday noon and all exhibits must be in place by Wednesday noon when the judging will take place. A man will be hired to look after nil live stock constantly and no person need fear that his property will not be properly cared for. Mght watchmen will be on duty also and no prowlers will he tolerated. In fact, every thing will be done to make the fair a decided success. The premium list is liberal considering initial attempt, and we might say that the fair management reserves the right to add to the premium list If they desire. Any Information will be gladly furnished by the secretary or any other officer of the fair association If you don't understand, ask the secretary, T. J. Betts and he will ex plain anything possible. The follow Ing oftlcers will help you out: C. B. Covington, P. P. W . Plyler and G. O. Mudge.

Captain Grotness. of the Norwegian Unk steamer Christian Knudsen. one of the vessels sunk off Nantucket lightship Sunday, officially reported to his agents in New York today his belief that three submarines were operating in the lightship's vicinity. Captain Grotnesa. in his report, said he was overhauled by the sub marine U-53 and ordered to stop shortly after 7:30 a. nr.. two warn ing shots being fired across the bows. The I' -boat then drew alongside and Captain Grotnesa was instructed to come aboard and bring bis papers, which he did. It was while standing on the deck of the U-53 that he saw. according to his report, the conning towers of the two other submarines about four miles distant. The conning towers, he said, were the same type as the conning tower of the boat he was on. The submarines he saw were moving in a northeasternly direction. The cargo of oil abroad the Chris tian Knudsen was consigned to Lon don. The I'-boat commander, how ever, did not take any of it. as has been reported. Captain Grotnesa said. The crew was allowed about half an hour to take to their boats before the submarine opened fire on the ship with her deck gun. About ISO shots were fired, most of which hit, but ow ing to the divided tank construction the ship did not sink. Finally the I'-boat discharged a torpedo into her and she blew up. Another point brought out In the report of Captain Grotness was the short time required for the U-53 to submerge. He reported that while the was shelling the ship a torpedo boat destroyer came Into sight. The submarine commander evidently thought It might be an enemy war vessel, for he immediately submerg ed, sinking out of sight in thirty sec onds. As soon as the destroyer came close enough for the American flag to he recognized he came up again, pop ing up out of the water like a cork. Capt. Gunther Mahr. master of the Holland - American line steamer Kloomersdijk, one of the Sunday's submarine victims, arrived here to day from Newport and reported to tlenerul Manager William Van Doom. Captain Mahr said he was allowed sufficient time to get away from bis ship before sh was sunk. He ad ded that it was his first officer who went to the submarine with the ship's papers, and while there the officer identified the captain as Commander Kose. The number of the U-boat had been painted out, he said. Onlv one submarine was seen by the men on the Bloomersdijk. A Trip to South Carolina. Written for The Journal. I left home on Friday morning. lift. tlth. for South Carolina by way I Waxhaw and on through the coun ty northwest to Pleasant Valley. 1 soon became interested in the crops md that section of country through which I traveled. For 20 years back 1 had run fox almost on every acre of it. But I want to speak of that sec tion between Waxhaw and Pleasant Valley. There has been such wonder ful Improvements all along the road. f I had struck that section not know ng where I was I would sure have been lost, for there has been such a change since I ran fox over those hills. It is now dotted with nice houses and big barns and line cattle and good mules. After we crossed Twelve Mile creek: Mr. John Rogers is putting r.p a fine house. Then I was surprised to see next Mr. Tom Haywood's nice residence and two big barns, one for stock and one for crttle: then Mr. Crane, Mr. W. C. Cunningham. Chas. Parks and Esq. George W. Sutton. AH these people have homes und farms that show industry and good farming. But while all that section I have mentioned has made wonderful Im provements in the last few years, I want to speak with praise of Esq. .Sutton's place. I believe he has got the coon and gone on (as the darkles say). I believe he Is using the most Improved methods of any of the boys. While all those I have mentioned are doing good farming and made great changes, which shows there is more in the man than the land, Mr. Sut ton's cotton is above the average for this year. He also has some fine clover, showing that he rotates his crops. Most all the people along the line are sowing grain. But I want to speak of one thing I noticed to show that crops are short and that is, I did not see a field or patch of cotton on the road from Monroe to Pleasant Valley that a hand could do a good days picking In, as here was no cotton to pick. Some thing unusual for October in this sec tion. I found old Pleasant Valley on the move, getting ready for the opening of school and a big community fair on October 27. This, in a rambling way, may interest some one If it does not find its way to the waste basket R. W. Doster.
