For the Independent
As the time for holding the third
annual Fair Of the Berkeley coun-
ty a. & NJ. Association is APP
preaching, there is matter TO
which we think the Board Of Di-
rectors should give serious cousid-
GRAFTON, viz: tire rule which pro-
hinils exhibitors from living
their uane~ to their offerings
The reason for such rule, we are in
formed, is that committees HAY
not be influenced by any personal
preference for the exhibitor, but
the benefits IF an impartial decj-
sion sought for under this rule, are
defeated by the publication Of the
names Of those constituting the
various committees prior to the
Fair. There are I'VE are sorry to
5ay) exhibitors ever ready 10 log
ron 10 secure their preferment.
While the said publication throws
open the door to lobbyists, the rule
before spoken Of releases commit
tees from the force of public opin
ion, for they may practice favorit-
ism and yet claim that the award
has been according to their judg-
ment unbiased by personal friend
ship. Supporting the averment by
the fact that the society does not
furnish to them the name Of exhi.
tors unit. the award is rendered.
Another reason why the rule
should be rescinded,is that visitors
may find something on exhibition
excellent in its kind, if from the
field or garden they may wish to
know the manner ofpreparing the
soil +; the culture, &c, but canntt
get the desired information, as. the
name of the producer is not given
We know society that has pros
pered for twenty years, the rule of
which was that the exhibitors
name appear on his goods.
The action of the board on this
question shall determine the action
of member who has hitherto
been an exhibitor. S.

We noticed among the hotel ar
rivals on Saturday last, the same
names at more than one hotel. -
We intend TO give arrivals as cor
rectly as possible. and we trust
hotel proprietors will see that their
register is guilty of no imposition.
We do not want the names ofreg-
ular board ars up town, nor the
names o. the passengers who dine
at the railroad house. We do not
mean to say that such have been
given us, but we want it under
stood that if we detect imposition
we will expose it.

We like to see new houses and
improvements but really we don't
think piles of stone, brick and
mortar should be permitted to OBJ
struct the streets long after i'm
provements are completed. The
town authorities are as guilty as
individuals, and we suppose it is
for that reason the police all to
act. Let the town clear its skirts,
and then compel the citizens to do
likewise.
