1t is not for us to belittle the new
south. In fact, we have often spoken of
its possibilities and lamented its lack of
organic force. We still claim that the
south is teeming with latent riches but
as yet no resident of any Maine town or
city cares to invest his time and treasure
in southern enterprises. The labor
problems of those states must be settled
before any course can be shaped for
business. With coal in the hills, with
bountiful water power on every hand,
with colored labor to be had for almost
a song, and with mammoth crops of cot
ton growing in adjoining fields, the
south Is not yet able to compete with
New England in the production of cot
ton goods The baed cotton is shipped
north by boat and rail, the coal for fur
nishing the power is shipped from Penn
sylvania, and when both are brought
together in New England factory town,
our mills take these raw materials and
combine them into a product that goes
right into the cotton belt of the south
for market. The state of Illinois raises
more corn every year than all the south
ern states combined. Take the years az
they come, the farmers of Aroostook
county hlo making more money on tue
capital and labor invested than it is pos
sible for farmers to do in any southern
state
without pretending to known about
southern conditions in detail, it is our
belief that the men and women who are
living in Maine today will do better to
remain in Maine than to risk money or
labor among the new and uncertain con-
ditions at the south. Times are good in
Maine considering the cost of living and
the price of labor and the certainty of
steady employment Maine offers a
better opening for young men than at
any previous time Maine is gaining in
wealth and population. Our state has
been drained of money and men by many
advertising promoters We have peo-
pied California, Oregon, Kansas and
Iowa with our sons and daughters. We
have lost millions in western farm mort
cages and in various inflated schemes
for getting rich quickly. In our opinion
it is time to stop and carry on d little
homemade thinking.

Contra Hane FAIR Association opened
at the park in Watervile, Wednesday Of
last week Owing to the circumstances
the attendance was not large, although
at least 1000 persons visited the grounds
during the day.
On every hand expressions Of sorrow
and regret because Of the bad weather
could be heard, and these expressions
were generally followed by enthusiastic
pl aise of the great exhibition that had
been prepared by the officers Of the
ASSOCIATION.

tory as the full embodiment of what an
agricultural show should be, bnt there
never was he d fair in the state Of
Maine where the exhibits were larger,
more varied and mole important as
those which were on view at the central
Maine Fair
In the horse department the equine
exhibition was Of the highest character
The cattle exhibits, too, are the best
i that have ever been seen at any State
fair IN the State And 50 are the ex-
hioits OF sheep and swine and poultry.
Tie exhibits of farm machinery of
various KINDS were large and attractive
and most interesting 10 all. The two
great exhibition halls were crowded
with every conceivable sort of article,
from dainty dollies worked in admirable
style to The magnificent displays OF
several individual Oranges. The latter
are perfect marvels of completeness
The Vassalboro Grange and the Wins
low Grange were nip and tuck rivals for
frs place while the other Oranges IN
this section were not far behind,
In fact the exhibits are among the best
and most complete ever seen in any agri.
cultural or industrial show in the State
OF Maine.
The Southern exhibition, "down
among the cotton and sugar cane,o was
worth visit Here were displayed
specimens of the valuable products of
the South, cotton, sugar cane, rice, tur

modlties, all of which spoke in glowing
terms OF the great changes that have
taken place in that section of the eoun-
try since the close of the war.
