HON. MARION POCUE
Has Something to say Regarding
the kentucky State Fair.
CRITTENDEN COUNTY SHOULD MOT
LAG BEHIND.

EDITOR PRESS: l have Just re.
ceived copy of the catalogue and
premium list of the Kentucky
State Fair, and as it has recently
been made a state institution, by
the Legislature, l feel it my duty
to call the attention Of my con-
stituency to the Fair, its objects
etc, il you will be so kind as to
allow me space in the PRESS.
The Kentucky State Fair is the
creation of an act of the state leg
islaturo, passed at its regular ses,
sion in 1902. The bill is entitled
IAN act to provide for the improve
ment and development of the live
stock, agricultural and kindred in.
terests, by the establishment and
maintainance of a State Fair" and
appropriates $4,000 annually to
be used as premiums alone; under
the authority of this act the Ken
lucky State Fair will be held, al
the new Jockey Club grounds at
Louisville, September 22d to 9th
inclusive.
This bill was drafted by a com.
mittee of farmers of both houses,
and passed House aud Senate al.
most unanimously, SO that this is
strictly the peoples fair, and |
hope that my district will compete
for some of the many hundred
prizes to be given away.
The premium list embraces not
only all kinds of live stock aud
fowls, but all the products of the
farm, the orchard, garden, dairy,
and kitchen. | know that in ma
ny of these items that Crittenden
and Livingston can compete sue
cessfully, if you will only write to
NJ. W. Neal, Secretary, Louisville
KY, and get premium list and en-
try blanks, select the articles that
you wish to enter for, get the best
that you and your neighbors have
(for you may club together and
save expense charges) and send
them in to the proper department,
you may be successful. While all
railroads will give one fare for the
round trip, and you may attend for
a small sum, you are not required
to be present with your exhibits,
except live stock.
The officers and directors are all
stockholders and farmers of the
best reputation, and you will be
+reated fairly, You may rest as
,ured that meriG will win.
This communication is volunta-
" on my part, prompted by my
pride for my own district. and l
nope that you will take the time
md trouble to investigate, make
up your mind to compete and send
n some of your famous tobacco,
,orn, wheat, etc. l hope that the
rood home wives will study the
premium list of Department N,
Noman's Work and Table Luxu-
les, and make up their minds to
how the Bluegrass ladies some
of sewing and needle
work; also how we can cook down
n the "Pennyrile. Remember
hat this is our fair, premiums
,aid with our money, and that We
must compete If we are directly
'eneftted. /
Hoping that we mas all go and
ct prize, or if we must remain
way that our exhibit will bring
8 a good sized chunk" of that
1900,
| remain, yours truly,
MARION POGUF.

lG. Dennis, wife of Dr.. r. a.. Dennis
of this place was buried at the Pres
byterian Church cemetery today, the
funeral sermon being preached by
Rev. A. G. Walker, Of the Methodist
Church. Mrs. Dennis was daughter
of the late Rev. H. D. Green, one Of
the signers of the Ordinance Of Seces-
sion, and was reared in the Mechanics
vile section OF this county, the home

g. Dennis, Esq, Darlington, Mrs.
o. d. Hill, Oswego, Misses Rebeccal

who is a member Of the senior class.
of the South Carolina College.
Mrs. Dennis was in her 6lst year,
and since early girThood she has BEEN
a member Of Che Methodist Church,
and there was not more Jealous and:
consistent member or a more devoted
Christian. Active IN all the church
work she exerted a large influence for
good, and her death has brought
sorrow to very large circle of
friends and acquaintances.
She had been in feeble health for
some time, but the immediate cause Of
her death was pneumonia, which was.
contracted about two weeks ago.

The committee of City Council hay-
iing N charge the numbering of the
hoasesSis going ahead with the ar
faIgements for beginning WORK, and
tho numbers will be in place in time
for the inaugufation of the mail Ideliv-
cry as soon as the Post Office depart

Air. Charles Schwanenberg, POST
Office Inspector. is IN the city for the
purpose Of making arrangements for
the establ blish1nent Of the free mail
delivery system to which Sumter IS
entitled: Hewin lay OFF the routes
and decide upon the number Of dellv-s
5eries per day and the hours for these
deliveries. It has been decided that
three carriers VIII be employed, at the
outset, but If fSShisnumber ershould prove
insufficient to render efficient service
additional carriers viii be employed.
Mr.. Schwanenberg will remain in the
city until the end of the week and
viii forward his report to the depart
ment before leaving.
The City Council has made an ad-
vantageous. bnsinesslike and satisfac-
tory settlement of the drainage matter
with the Atlantic Coast Line. The.
sum that the city has agreed to pay
towards the work is nominal In COM
parison with the actual cost that will
be borne by the railroad company and
is really Insignificant if compared with.
the value of the drainage to the. south
ern portion of the city. Had the city
been unable to come to an agreement
with the railroad officials for the con-
str1ction and maintenance of a drain
through the company's right of way.
the city would then have been forced
to construct It's own system of drain
age to carry OFF the surface water from
lower Main street, and the cost that
this would have devolved upon the
city would have been, at the lowest
estimate, several times as great as the
sum that is tc= be paid under the terms
of the agreement made last night.
This is one instance, at least, of the
Atlantic Coast Line dealing not only.
fairly, but iberally, with the city of
Sumter.

SHIP SUBSIDY L

Chicago Post (rep.): Speaker Henderson
and other leaders regard it as bad poll
tics' to force 80 questionable a proposition
through congress on the eve OF q political
campaign. The fact that the two Iowa SEN
ators voted in the negative cannot fail to
strengthen this feeling in the speakers
breast.
Indianapolis Journal (rep.): The opinion
prevails in Washington that the opposition
to the ship subsidy bill in the senate means
it's defeat In the house II 1t ever reaches a
vote in that body. Representatives who
will consult their constituents In this part
of the country will discover that the senti-
ment Is not in favor OF it
Kansas City Star Ond.): The subsidy bill
arouses distrust from the character OF it's
friends as we'll as OF Its enemies. 1t Is a
measure providing for the payment OF
public money to private concerns. It's chief
advocates are men identified with Stand
ard Oil and Steel interests. BY Senator
Frye's W admission, the bill is expected
to increase the American lines subsidy to
q point where that company will have 70
per cent Of the amount to be devoted to
