The attendance at the fair last
week fell considerably below the
expectation of the officers, who did
everything in their power to make
1t a success. The exhibits of fancy
work, etc., was good, but there
was a lack of agricultural products
and stock. The fair can never be
made a success and accomplish
the good for which it is intended
until the farmers take an interest
in it. They will be more benefited
by real good fair than any other
class and should help to push it
along.
The article "After Fusion,
What?' published on the fourth
page of this issue, should be read
by every man who professess alle-.
glance to the Democratic party.
1t states facts that are incontro-
vertible and that should be con-
sidered by every person who
loves his State. Read it and cut
it out for future reference. Such
plainly stated truths should be
kept in mind constantly and a.
reading of the article until all it's
points are learned will be benefi-
cial.
AS q rule as much sfme is devo-

goes on the outside pages of the
RoBEsoNIAN as is given to the get

for the inside pages. The aim of
the editor is to make every column
of the paper interesting to its pa
irons, to have fresh news in each
issue and to put nothing in mere
ly to "fill up" thespace. Itsome-
times happens that in certain is
sues the outside pages-as also
rs occasionally the case with the
inside pages-are of more than or
dinary interst. Such we regard
ss the case this week. Besides
the story the outside this week
has the Fair Bluff Notes, a letter
from South Alabama, the opinions
of w. J. Bryan and Chairman
Manly on the elections of last
Tuesday and other things that
make every column worth read
ing.
In looking over the displays at
the fair our attention was attract
