RASH AND rRANcEwAY
Have Big fair-ons Of the Most success
tul in Way Of Attendance Ever Given.

!. The Great Hopkins County
Fair closed Saturday after one of
the most successful meetings in
the history of the association.
The management are to be con
graduated upon the complete,
ness of the program and with the
smoothness and rapidity with
which everything passed off. The
weather was favorable through
out the week and large crowds
filed the amphitheatre each day.
The show ring each morning
WAS very attractive, showing
some of the finest cattle ever
exhibited in this part of the
state.
The races were very exciting
and extremely close and well
competed for. Many fine horses
were entered who did justice tc
both trainer and the fair COM
pany.
Between races the crowd was
entertained by the various free
attractions on the grounds, all of
which were excellent A sue
cessful balloon ascension was
made eacn day at five o'clock.
Many beautiful pieces of fancy
work and an abundance of fruit
aud vegetables filled the floral
hall. 1t was decorated beauti-
fully and very attractive.
Everything was made as COM
Portable as possible for the PEG
pie. Ice water was situated
near the amphitheatreat the con-
venience of all.
AS whole, the entire week
could re. have been improved
upon. Under the capable man
agement of Messrs. Rash and
Franceway the Great Hopkins
County Fair was one of the
greatest and will no doubt con-
tinue to be so as they control it.

One of the most interesting
features of the present encamp-
ment is the target practice,
which is something of an inno-
vation in Kentucky. Capt. Vic
tor r. Dodge is inspector of
small arms practice and fine
shot himself. He will have charge
of this target practice and give
special instructions in this
branch. Large quantities Of cart
ridges are on hand for target
practice and the men of each
company will be given every op-
portunity to compete. 1t is prob
able that if enough men show up
with fine records in these target
contests a special rifle corps may
be organized to compete in the
national rifle competition to be
held this year at Sea Girt, New
Jersey. At this national meet
ing the best riflemen of the reg
ular army and those from the ma
tional guard organizations will
compete for supremacy in the
use of small arms. So the Earl
ington and Madisonville rlfemen
Will do well to practice up some
before the Third is called to Pa
ducah. Sixty thousand ball cart
ridges have been provided for
target practice.
Lieutenant Beckham, a brother
of Governor Beckham, is the
United States army man sent as
inspector to remain at Paducah
during the encampment. General
Ainsworth, military secretary Of
the United States army, has de-
tailed nine non commissioned Of
ficers to act as Instructors.
The signal corps outfit is new
and complete, including flash
lights, which will be used for
drilling the officers and privates,
SO that orders by flashes can now
be as well understood as by bugle
or drum. The telephone system
of the camp is said to be very
complete, connecting all depart
ments.
The Second regiment is now at
Paducah with Colonel Roger
Williams in command, and will
remain until the 14th. The First
regiment will reach Paducah on.
the 14th. With the First will be
the band from Greensboro, the
Third Regiment Band, which
will remain through the encamp-
ment of the Third regiment, after
the First has gone.

phur spring also, aud a good
chalybeate spring on the hotel
grounds.
Grab Orchard was a great
south Urn resort in the early days
and was looked upon as the Sa-
ratogo of the South. Wealthy
planters, before the days of rail
roads, used to drive from other
states and great distances to at
tend the races at Grab Orchard.
1t is advertised as "the oldest
and most fashionable summer re-
sort of the South" The capac-

week the capacity was stretched

this fact everybody was taken

Is Being Done.
BEAUTIFUL CAMP SITE IS
LAID OUT BY CAPTAIN RASH.

The State Encampment of the
Kentucky State Guard is on in
earnest at Paducah and with
promise of being one of>the most
successful and interesting en-
campments ever held in Ken
lucky. There will not be the va
riety of regular army exercises,
with their attendant hardships
for the novice, experienced at
the West Point encampment two
years ago, but there will be
enough of drill and instruction
and varied routine to interest
land occupy the men behind the
guns. Inspector General Gaines
is working out camp discipline
upon different lines than usually
employed heretofore and the
rules adopted put the men more
upon their honor and with less
ironclad restrictions as to their
personal freedom while in camp.
The routine will be somewhat
similar to that enjoyed at st.
Louis. The men are off duty all
afternoon, until $50 O'Clock, at
which time dress parade is held
on the drill ground Immediately
adjacent. After 6 p. m. no re-
strictions are placed on the men.
They are permitted to 60 to the
city or elsewhere as they please,
and will be upon their honor as
men instead of being under con-
slant surveillance. Col. Gaines
says that the object of guards
and outposts around a military
camp is to keep the enemy ont
rather than to keep the men in
and he is working it out on this
line.
Captain Frank ID. Rash, of this
place, acting engineering officer
for the encampment, reached
Paducah on the morning Of the
LIST instant, together with Colonel
Noel Gaines, inspector general;
Harry q. Tandy, quartermaster
general; Mott Ayres, paymaster
general, and DIR. A. T. McCor-
mack, surgeon general. Captain
Rash was first on the ground and
laid out the camp upon scientific
principles followed in the estab-
lishment of regular army camps.
He was followed by the signal
corps, who established the kitch-
ems, hospital and headquarters
under the engineers directions.
/ The BEE acknowledges indebt-
edness to the Paducah Daily Sun
for very full and we'll written re-
ports of the encampment's do
ings. Quoting Inspector General
Gaines the Sun prints the follow
ing 81 am just tickled to death
with our camp. 1t could not be
more perfect. Engineer Rash
has made perfect survey of the
grounds and LAID everything off
just where it ought to be. There
isn't single mistake. The light
and water companies have been
generous, granting everything
we ask and offering many things
we have not requested. 1t will
beyond doubt be the most sue
cessful encampment ever held in
Kentucky. We are going to lend
every effort to prevent accidents
or trouble to mar the encamp-
ment. =
Surgeon General Mccormack,
son of State Health Officer Nc
Cormack, is doing things along
the lines Of Japanese defense
against unsanitary camp condi-
tions that might otherwise creep
in and it is believed this will be
the healthiest encampment Ken
lucky has known. He has large
qualities of disinfectants which
will be properly used and the
health of the men will be care

PRESS MEETING.
Profitable Session at Grab Orch
ard Springs, Where Hospi-
tally Abounds.
INNOVATION PROVED 4 SUCCESS,

Grab Orchard Springs, KY, July
24.27, was an innovation as conf
pared With past summer gather
ings and, from both business and
social standpoints, decided sue
cess. In previous years the up;
permost idea, at jaunting time,
of even some of those editors
who have advocated just such a
change Of plan rs has come this
year, has been show quickly
can we get our tickets and start
on our jaunt?" Last year, for in
5 stance, between the pride and
work Of Kentucky editors for the
success of the State at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition, and
their desire 10 see the big show,
a number of the "old guardn
made a bee line for st. Louis and
cut the State meeting entirely.
One of the best executive com
mittees that ever did business
for the Association was unable,
with excellent sub.committees,
in the face of that popular fever,
70 arrange for more than a Que
J by session at Louisville, and
Rt day had to he compressed
o Que afternoon, of which
gage, ticket, badge and other
ch details took a liberal por-
Zion, Strenuous efforts were
ynade tolhave time for an even
Ting dinner, with toasts and good
cheer, but travel details would
mot give way.
II has been proven that the
only way to redeem the Associa-
tion from the jaunt is to cut the
jaunt out. All of us are more or
less children when it comes to
pleasuring, and thus the editors
have in the past ignored the
business purpose of the organlEa-
tion in their hurry to ran off on
a dust-gathering, overcrowded
journey to see a new sight and
murder the ''Old Kentucky
Home'r 10 some new corner of
the Western Hemisphere.
The Association has now quit
a bad habit and started on new
career. The minutes for the past
year, we are assured, wall be
printed and distributed in a few
days. This is a distinct change
in the time honored practice of |
minutes published year after
date, if at all, and puts thelnew
officials on record for business
first. The minutes of the pre-
ceding year have not yet been
published and will in all proba-
biIity never be published now.
The officers elected to serve
the coming year are e. A. Gull
lion, New Castle, President; ID.
B. Wallace, Warsaw, Vice Pres
ident; w. Vernon Richardson,
Danville, Secretary.
The work of Louis Landram,
Of Lancaster, whose term as Pres
ident has just expired, and of his
executive and sub committees.
cannot be too highly praised. |
They made of the Crab Orchard
meeting marked success, though
working through great difficult
ties in short space Of time.
The fine hospitality OF Capt.
j. b. Willis and his good wife, Of
the Springs Hotel, the unceasing
activity of Clarence Woods, who
did everything that might come
within the province of an entire
hotel working force, barring the
cook, made delightful even the
semi-camping.out that certain
unattached male members OF the
Sress were put to in the great
lsh for (advertising) space that
tcurred at that restful old
Fatering place.
