|SAFETY AND
COUNTY EXHIBITS
 TO BE SOLICITED
STATE FAIR MANAGEMENT WILL BEGIN A CAMPAIGN OF SYS- TEMATlc ADVERTISING THIS WEEK.

Every county in the state will be asked to take space for county exhibits in the state fair to be held here in October. A man familiar with such matters will be sent out by the management in a few days for the purpose of interesting the people of the state on the subject. Every county in Alabama, it is pointed out, should accept this opportunity to exhibit It's resuorces, and 1t is believed that most of them will do so. Every community has some special product or advantage that should be made known and that would add greatly to the valued interest of the fair.
 Applications for space in the exhibit buildings from manufacturers and others desiring to exhibit their wares and pro- ducts are being received daily from both local and foreign firms
 The work on the catalogue and premium list will begin this week and will be com pleted and the catalogues will be ready for distribution The catalogue will be very handsome and will contain 200 pages. Ten thousand copies are to be distri- buted.
 A systematic plan of advertising the fair will be begun this week Envelopes are to be printed and distributed among the local business concerns who will be asked to print their cards on them and use them for all their business corresporfd- ence.
 Secretary and General Manager R. M. Williams of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit association will go to Tennessee tonight, where he will spend most of the week partly in the interest of the fair. He will return Friday morning for the matinee races at Smiths park, which are to be given for the benefit of the firemen's fund being raised for the fami- lies of G. B. Spruell and E. B. Huffman. who lost their lives in the Morris avenue fire one week ago today.

SCHOOL TERMS ARE
 TO BE EQUALIzED
Ul,ERINTENDENT |. w. M'ADoRY ISSUES CARD IN WHICH HE AD- vIsEs PUBLIC FUNDS BE SUP PLEMENTED.

Tn a. card issued by County Superinten- dent of Education I. W. McAdory the rural schools of the county have been assured of an improved adjustment Of school terms. The weaker districts that heretofore have had only short terms u1- der the former plan of distribution Of the public school funds will be given long CT terms and will be put on an equal footing with the stronger districts.
 Commissioner McAdory says that by this equalization that not more than seven months term can be sustained In any district but that the weaker districts in the county will have as long terms as the stronger ones. He advises that the public funds be supplemented so as to 1engthen the terms.
 The plan of the board Is Co apportion the funds, not on the per capita plan, but in such a way as to give the weaker dis tricts as long terms as the stronger.
 He says:
 Tt appears that seven months will be the length of the school term for the white schools next year. and the colored schools will hardly run as long. While FdlIonS III tiie WedkeF ulStTicls VIII Dc pleased, we are satisfied that patrons In the stronger districts will be disappoint- ed, and many will crtlcise the school board, and question its power to shorten the term in the stronger and lengthen it in the weaker districts.
 "It Is not an easy task to apportion the public fund to the schools of the county justly and equitably, so that llley may all be taught the same number of months The board must consider ca eh and every school, the number and the grade of teachers needed for each school, and the amount of money that will be re- qaired to employ competent teachers for each school
 While the board cannot state officially the amount of money that will or can be apportioned to each school, we have gone far enough to know that the public schools can not be taught longer than seven months with the public school fund alone. We hope many districts will supplement the fund so as to continue their schools longer than seven months
 When we remember that a very short time ago the public school fund was suf- fieient to keep the schools for barely three months, we can but appreciate the growth of the educational spirit in favor of public education."

WANTS HIS RESIGNATION.
Governor Hoch Is Going After State
 Treasurer of Kansas.

Topeka Kan, July 9.-Another con fes ,nce of attorneys was held today to discuss the situation arising from lGe loss of the state funds in the First National bank.
 It is announced that Governor Hoch will demand the resignation of State Treasurer T. T. Kelly, on the ground of improper conduct in office, and that Kelly will resist the demand. The matter probably will have to be set tied in the courts. Governor Hoch is understood as being extremely anx- ious to secure the resignation of Kelly. Considerable difficulty arises from the fact that all the laws which were espe- cially designed for cases like the pres ent one were repealed by the last ses- sion of the state legislature. Some definite action will be taken tomorrow.

 BUFFALO READY FOR REUNION OF ELKS Thousands Have Already Ar
 rived in (ly AUTOMOBILE TRIP TAKEN Exalter Ruler Makes Statement Re- sarding the Proposed AffiIiation
 of Canadian Lodge with
 United States.
AUTOMOBILE TRIP TAKEN

Buffalo, July 9.--Thousands of delegates 10 the nineteenth annual reunion of inc Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks arrived here today and were given q hearty welcome as they marched through the gaily decorated streets Every dele gation was met by a section of the re- ception committee, and band escorted them to headquarters. The automobile club of Buffalo entertained the grand lodge members today and gave them n delightful ride through the city parks and avenues, and along the Niagara frontier.
 With the arrival of prominent members Of the order, many booms have been launched for the honor of entertaining the Elks in 1906. Denver, Dallas and Atlantic City are represented by enthusiastic ad- yocates of the claims of their respective cities for next years reunion.
 Grand Exalted Ruler w. J. O'Brlen and Past Grand Exalted Ruler Tanning, have returned from Toronto where they went to consult over the proposition to admit Can adian Elks to social intimacy with the parent order in the United States.
 We have formulated a report" naid MT. O'Brien. which will be submitted to the committee on the good of the order. The plan does not favor absolute affiia- ton, but places the two orders on brotherly basis It provides for social intimacy between the members of the two orders, the visiting of each others club rooms, and participation in entertain ments. Elks on both sides of the border can have the privileges of sociability, but may not be present at any meeting where secret work Is transacted.
 This is as far as we can go. To pro- vide for affiliation would be 10 change the constitution of both orders and this is not feasible, even If desirable"
