Anderson Fair a Success.

The Anderson county fair was big
success in every way and was further
evidence that it does not take Ander-
son always to do a thing. The exhib-
it's were fine, especially in field prod
ucts, but the horses were the chief
attraction. There were seventy-five
horses present, and were as handsome
as could be seen at any state fair. The
races were up to date in every way,
good purses were offered and the best
horses of the state were competed
for them.

HOPE IN COLD WAVE.
Drop in Temperature Brings Further.
! HOPE and Joy to New Orleans.
Summary Of Fever Situation.

Hope that the cold wave prediction
and frost warnings of the: weather
bureau would be realized and that
frost would come over large por.
ton Of Louisiana and Mississippi,
bringing an end to guarantees, was
the dominant factor in consideration:
Of the yellow fever situation at New

pronounced wintery conditions thlS
season between the Rocky mountain
plateau and the central valleys, with
q tumble Of the mercury in Oklahoma,
the Texas Panhandle, Arkansas and
north Louisiana, and there was q
promise Of frost in the interior Of
Louisiana and through Mississippi.
In New Orleans the Improvement In
the situation continued through the
day with a remarkably low list OF
cases. For nearly a week past the;
death list has been daily either insig.
nificant or blank altogether, and the
conviction is growing that November
will mark the total extinction Of an
cases.
Business continues to improve and
there is marked activity on the
streets. 1t is evident that the forth;
coming visit of the president Is caus-s
ing many people to cut short their
vacations, just as it is operating to
reopen communication between New
Orleans and other parts Of the sta:e:.
Interest is aroused in the descriptions
that are printed of the presidents en-
tertainment as he travels to his jour
ney's end, and there Is manifest dis
position to make his reception In the
Crescent City in every respect the eli
max of his trip.
The Mississippi yellow fever sum.
mary for Friday was as follows:
Natcnez-One new case, one death,
one new foci.
Vicksburg-Two new cases, and
two in county Dr.. Rauch, a young
physician, who contracted the dis
ease while aiding in the fight at Roxie
and Hamburg, died Friday morning.
Gulfport-One new case, no deaths.
No new cases at other points on the
gulf coast.
Roxie-One new case, no deaths.
Hamburg-One new case, no deaths.
Port Gibson-No new cases, mo-
deaths.
The summary Of the yellow fever IN
Pensacola was as follows:
New cases IL, total cases 458,
deaths none, total deaths 64, discharg-
ed 254, under treatment 140.
The situation continues to improve
and with the approach OF colder
weather. which is now being felt, It
Is expected that the officials will have
no trouble in stamping out the dis
ease.

GLASS COMPANY WILL INCREASE
ITS FACILITIES so AS TO
EMPLOY MORE MEN.

The MonOngah Glass Company
which has had its plant in operation
in this city for about a year, has met
with fiatterlng success, its business
having proved so satisfactory that
the company has decided to enlarge
the plant very materially. Plans
have already been agreed upon for
large extensions, and work will be
started as soon as possible.
The increased facilities will give
employment to 100 additional men,
which means quite a good deal 10 the

This company manufactures table
ware exclusively, and has found ready
sales for it's output since commencing
operations.
1t is very gratifying to know that
this institution is meeting with sue
cess, as large amount of local capi-
tai was subscribed to build the plant.

| Then he eliminated Spear from the
case, saying there was no evidence
that he ever saw Mrs, Chadwick, much
less that they entered into con.

Referring to the standing of wo,

Chadwick was classed, legally. with

could not vote or serve on a jury
That being so. she had a right to
believe that whatever was done by the
bank officers was legal. She was not
bound TO look up the United States

He jeered at Sullivan for having
brought Carnegie to Cleveland and
from Florida and not placing him on

"Why was he brought here?" asked
Dawley. Then he said he did not
like the notion of attacking the wo-

a repetition Of Adams cowardice.

DIDN'T WEEP ALTHOUGH HER
ATTORNEY MADE A VERY
EMOTIONAL SPEECH.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, March IL
Mrs. Chadwick was as calm and cour.
ageous today as she has been on any
day of the trial
AS it was generally believed that
this was ID be the last day, some of
her friends feared she might give
way to the strain. Her son Emil
Hoover, was at her side to comfort
her. Before court opened they talk
ed together Attorney Dawley, in
his opening argument to the jury for
the defense was along emotional
lines, but the prisoner endured the
ordeal without tears.
Dawley inspired by the bright sun
shine told the jury that the condt'
tions were auspicious for the defend.
ant.
"All nature speaks in her behalf"
he said. "Springtime is coming.
You will soon be going home and the
bright sun will be shining on every
enterprise and humanity at large"
Referring to human suffering gen.
orally and the slaughter at Mukden
in particular, Dawley said; I'VE poor
mortals from the cradle to the grave,
travel through vale of tears.
at seems almost as though mans
eyes were made more for weeping
than for seeing. know not why It
is So 1t Is not for me to inquire
1t is the will Of God.
You twelve men just now have
more power than the standing army
of the United States, more than the
President. You can set this lady at
liberty or you can send her 10 a
felon's cell"
He admonished the jury to beware
of prejudice and to base their verdict
entirely upon the evidence.
Injustice he said, was the spider
of the mind, 1t woye webs over the
windows Of the mind.
Prejudice" he said, "is the devils
own weapon. Justice is the throne
of God"
1t was up to the government, Daw.
ley said, to prove conspiracy, the spc'
cifc charge against her. Violently
slamming the large indictment on the
table, DawIey exclaimed: at is not
enough for the district attorney to
throw a quire of paper at her or to
shout that there was something
wrong in the Oberlin bank and declare
You're guilty." He explained tina.
conspiracy required plotting by two or
more persons for a certain purpose.
