According to advices from Des
Moines competition from the st.
Louis exposition is not making itself
felt as against the Iowa state fair
which is but seven weeks distant.
Secretary Simpson is receiving en-
tries for the Iowa fair at an unpar.
alleled rate, considering the tine that
yet remains in which to make them.
What is more, many of the entries
come from points near st. Louis.
Two big cattle herds were entered
few days ago, one of which comes
from Missouri and the other from
Illinois. Mr.. Simpson accounts for
the unusually large list OF entries on
the theory that many small exhibit
ors are entering this year in the be.
lief that competition will not be so
strong. They anticipate that the
cream of everything will be at ST.
Louis and that they will stand
chance to win at the Iowa State fair.
If this is the way they are figuring
they will be disappointed, as the win
ners of past seasons are, with very
few exceptions, entering their eXhib-
its with Secretary Simpson again this
year. Secretary Simpson anticipates
"a record-breal,ing attendance this
year if the weather is anything like
favorable. He figures that good crops
and good times will result in the
usual pilgrimage to the state falr,
notwithstanding the worlds fair. 4

According to the figures and esti-
mates Of Director j. +. Sage OF the
Iowa Crop and Weather service, the
month OF July has better prospect OF
a crop than the same month in last
year. Almost every form of plant life
has prospered exceedingly we'll and
gives evidence Of the bumper crop so
much desired by the Iowa farmer and
consumer Of the world. Heavy rains
Of last year were OF course respon-
sible fOr the poor condition or the
crops as compared with the outlook
this year, while the average quantity
OF rain and the general good condi-
tons for a. crop have thus far aided
in giving the farmers the ideal year
for corn and all manner Of garden pro.
ducts. The condition of corn is rep.
resented to be at least Is per cent bet
ter than it was last year.

Secretary Dawson Of the executive
council says that the reports of iele-
phone companies are now being re-
ceived at the state house after fash
ion which indicates that these corpor-
atoms will have furnished the council
with the information needed by it be-
fore the time for making the assess
ment has arrived. Zone Of the chief
difficulties of the work of gathering
the reports of the companies has been
the failure of those which have
changed their names during the past
year to report the name under which
they we're assessed last year," said Mr..
Dawson. "The result of this failure
on the part of the companies has been
that in some cases concerns which
have reported are classed as delin-
qlent with their reports. and they
have been appealed to strenuously. 1t
is necessary to ask the companies to
file statement, now, as to the name
under which they were assessed last
YEAR"

We have not seen them all and there

thing of its kind ever brought to
Newberry. There may be better
shows. If so we would like very
much to see some of them, for we

killing frost within the last sixty
hours, on Sunday morning. and
one on Monday morning. 1t is
stated by the farmers that the thing
most injured is the cotton in the
small bolls not yet fully natured.
The loss of such cotton is consider
able. Other crops are not at a
stage to be much damaged.
Mr.. H. c. Wilson, who lives six
miles north of Newberry, says that
he saw ice at several points along
the road yesterday morning. 1t was, OF
course, very thin, but it was the real

is the negro who stabbed Ben Chal-

Fire Breaks Out in Farmers Oil Mil
NO Damage Done.

What might have been a dlsas-
trous conhagration at the Farmers Oil
mill yesterday morning happily ended
in 2 small and harmless blaze. AT
about nine o'clock Mr.. J. H. Chap
Dcll took a bale OF cotton to the SAID
mill % be ginned, and while his COT
ton was being put through the ma
chinery a part OF it burst into flames.
The cause at the time was not known,
and even now is not explained, but
it is supposed that match or other
ii1Aammable particle must have been
concealed in the cotton.
The flames spread with incredible
rapiditv and catching in the lint on
he beams, floor, and rafters, envelop-
ID for a fraction Of minute the
whole building in flames. None OF
the woodwork caught fire, and by
quick and well-directed efforts on the
part of the many employees the fire
was soon under control. Buckets
were used, and i is said that some
Of the men even used their hats to
pour water on the burning cotton
staple.
One of the gins was very slightly
burned, but practically the only loss
was a part of Mr.. Chappelps cotton.
The ginnery is now running just as
if nothing had happened.
