Treasurer, Not Aop,inted

Since the death of Treasurer R. L. Ross, of Colbert county, last Saturday, many callers at the capitol have inquired as to whom the governor would appoint to fill the vacancy. They have inquired only to receive the answer that the position or treasurer is not appointive, but in the case of death or removal from office the court of county commissioners fills the vacancy.

Chambers county is to select new tax assessor by general primary. Tax As sessor J. V. Trammell, of Chambers, died during last week. There was at once whole regiment of applicants for the Va cancy. Probate Judge A. J.

A conference was held with the governor and he agreed to stand by the result of the primary in naming the new assessor. As a result tax assessor politics is at fever heat in Chambers just at present.

FAIR GROUNDS WILL
 BE OPEN AT NIGHT
For Benefit of the Working
 Masses.
PREMIUM LISTS SENT OUT
Pictures Made of Handsome Horses and Victoria-One Fare Rate on All the Railroads Will be Securedby
 the Fair Management.

The State Fair management decided yes terday to keep the exposition grounds and buildings open at night. This Is done for the benefit of the thousands of working men and women and children who are cooped up in the stores and shops during the day and unless some arrangements were made would be deprived of seeing Alabamas great show
 The question of reducing the admission fee at night to 25 cents has also been taken up. It is argued that this much should be done for the many persons who are hardly able to pay the 50 cents, but would attend if it only required half that amount. Others are arguing that the dif- ference would not be enough to the outside public 10 justify the reduction while the difference to the fair management in pay ing expenses would be v, important cunsid- eration.
 The management is also figuring on dis play of fireworks at the grounds each night. The buildings will all be brilliantly illuminated but of course there will be no outside attraction unless a fire works dis play is arranged for. The races and other amusements will furnish enough entertain rnent in the day. II is certain that the grounds will be kept open until F o'clock each night and the street railway com pany will furnish ample car service to han de the large crowds. Further details Will be announced fater

II would be difficult to find a handsomer eauippage than that which will be award- ed by the state fair to the most popular woman in Alabama. The Kentucky thor ouehbreds. Dewey and Sehley, were hitched to the beautiful victoria late yes- terday afternoon and driven for a short spin around the city. When capitol park was reached large crowd had assembled to view the turnout They were much ad- mired and with heads reared proudly they bore the honor of being gazed at by a jealous populace.
 A photographer made several negatives of the turnout and they were then driven back to the stables. where they are being watched with the care that would be be- slowed on a child. Two hundred 6xi pho- tographs will be made and they will be on exhibition in all the cities and towns in the state.
 Every admission ticket will have coupon on which will be printed "I vote for - as the most popular woman i'll Alabama" The coupons will be placed in separate boxes and the women receiving the largest number of votes mp to Novem- Der r will be awarded the prize.
 
 The premium lists were turned from the press yesterday and are now being sent to all portions of the state. Ten thousand neatly printed pamphlets are now being addressed to all persons who could possi- bly be interested in contesting for prem iums. All important information about the fair association is contained in these pam phlets.
 The Press club at a meeting held yester- day afternoon appointed a committee com posed of Leon Friedman, of the News; F. C. Mulcahey, of the Ledger, and M. B. Mayer of The Age-Herald to formulate plans for the fair. The committee will visit Smiths park this afternoon and will pick out a room where headquarters will be established.
 This will be a rendezvous for all visiting members of the press during the progress of the fair. An attractive exhibit will be gotten up and a register kept of all visitors to this department. -

DEAL ALMOST CLOSED
Diamond Match Company Will Have
Monopoly.

The Diamond Match Co., is getting
matters in shape for the closing of
the options it holds on independent
companies engaged in the manufac-
ture of matches. Says a Chicago
special:
1t is expected by the end of this
week the deal would be closed and
the Diamond Match Co. would con-
troll number of corporations now
engaged in ihe manufacture Of
tmatches.
The closing of these deals, if car
ried out on the lines now proposed,
will give the Diamond Match Co. a
practical monopoly in the manufac-
ture of matches in the United States.
Only the larger concerns-those
which have been looked upon as
competitors-willb be taken in in the
event of the present negotiations be-
ing carried through. The Continen-
tai Match Co. of which Edwin Gould
Ss president and practically the sole
owner, will be one of the concerns
which will be acquired.
