Aberdeen Examiner: One of capi-
talists remarked to us Wednesday !:
Aberdeen will never have q cotton
factory until four or FIVE OF. her citi-
zens form company of themselves
and build it, Well, that's all right
Let four or five of them put up the
money or credit--either will do--for
the erection of the building, and then
they can bond the entire layout for.
fifteen or twenty years for the outfit;
let the earnings pay off the bonds and
the outcome will give them a grand
mill for tyth" of its cost. That is
the plan upon which most of the,
manufacturing, railroad and steam
ship enterprises of the world are es-
tablished. 1t is only poor folks who
are required to "put up or shut up
in this world. Capitalists have little
occasion to use else than credit, and
never have to pay from their pockets
for anything but interest in event OF
temporary shortage in dividends.

Maben Meteor: There are men
who claim that this country would be
better off if the negroes were colon
lied in-Africa or some distant lands.
vet these men claim that the country
is ruined if labor agents induce sew
eral dozen negro families to move to
the delta. The loss to this section
of the state caused by negro emigra-
tion is, we believe, only temporary.
Intelligent labor is the only kind that
pays at present prices of farm products
and negroes when left the manage
ment of their own affairs, because
they lack intelligence, are not proita-
BILE tenants. Where they have the
advantage of overseers, who look af-
ter them daily the land is better cared
for and the yield greater. The re-
moval of nergeos to the delta means
for this section of the state less cot
ton but more grain and better stock,
smaller farms and fewer white men
selling out and going TO town.

BIG DEMAND FOR SPACE ~.
AT STATE FAIR GROUNDS

Three weeks from next Saturday
or Sept. 20, the gates of the Illinois
state fair grounds will swing open to
the multitudes from every section of
this realm. 1t will be an eight-day
fair this year, beginning Saturday,
Sept. 20, and concluding ON the fol-
lowing Saturday, Oct. ;. Sunday will
be one of the days of exposition this
year, but there will be no work and
program appropriate to the sacred
ness of the day will be presented. The
arrangements for this day are not
complete, but they Will include music
and probably a sermon or lecture by
some noted speaker.
The fair this year marks the begin
ming of another half century of use
fulness and benefit. 1t will mark also
the completion of $1jO,OOO worth of
new buildings and structures designed
to make the exposition more com
plete and valuable. and to cater to the
comforts of the masses.
\ new terminal that will facilitate
the handling of the people by express
service TO and from the city. covered
walks connecting the buildings and
insuring travel to and from every
part of the grounds without fear of
rain, a, new dairy building, a new .wo-
mans building with its metropolitan
restaurant in the first floor. an addi-
ton to the coliseum doubling its ca
pacity, additions to the machinery
hall and pavilion, new walks and
freshly painted buildings, a fast track
with excellent speed attractions, flow
ers and lawns and pretty drives, all
filled and pulsating with life, will
make the fair this year the greatest
on earth. without doubt or fear OF
contradiction. No fair ground in this
country can begin to compare with
the Illinois exposition.
With all these added facilities there
is already demand for more space
than the board can supply. Horses,
cattle and all kinds of farm products
will be offered in greater profusion
than ever before. The demand for
room in the various big buildings is
unprecedented. 1t is designed that the
fair shall be all installed and ready
for the people Saturday morning,
Sept. 26, and that it shall so remain
until Saturday noon, Oct. ,.

plastering from the walls fell. 1t
damaged the house so much that it
will take several hundred dollars to
repair it. 1t seems that the bolt
struck on the water spout on the roof
and then followed its course all
around the house ending up where the
water conductor enters the ground
and where the lightning made large
hole. Hardly n room remains without
some damage being done to it. Much
damage was done in the parlor, sit

plastering was torn down in large
patches. At the same time corner
of the kitchen was torn off. With all
the damage. however, Mr.. and Mrs.

L. f. Morgan, speaking before the
Business Mems association at the
regular meeting, suggested that some
thing should be, done regarding the
work of the tax ferrets He said
they were driving money from the
county and that it was almost impos-
sible to get men with money to loan
it in the county. If the thing con-
tinued it would drive the money of
Rock Island county into other coun-
ties and those in the county who wish
to borrow would be obliged to seek it
outside. He said there were cases
where the tax ferrets reported that
certain persons owed the county sew
eral hundred dollars and had after
wards settled with them for much
less. In one case man was reported
as owing the county something more
than hundred dollars and had
sent $50 bill to them with the
statement that it was all that he
would pay. and he had heard nothing
more from it, the money having been
evidently accepted as payment in full.
