The weather man has surely frown-
ed on Maury county this week, and
the management of the Marry County
Fair Association will receive the SYM
patty of all Maury countians over the
unfavorable weather conditions. The
Fair this year promised to be the lar
gest and best the county ever had.
The gentlemen at the head Of the en-
terprise were unsparing in time and
money in their efforts to make the
Fair a big success and build up the
association, and aid the agricultural
and breeding interests of the section.
Elaborate plans were made for the en-
tertainment of the visitors, high priced
special attractions were secured, the
race program was never so good, the
horse show and arena premium were
never so liberal and the people for
miles around had arranged to be pres
emit. All that was needed was good
weather. and the weather we have had
could not have been much worse.
The Association is on a splendid
working basis. The directors and Of
ficers were all working toward one
end-the good of the Fair and the
benefit of the county. They have able
assistants. In Assistants Secretary
Jas. T. Moore. they were especially
fortunate. Mr. Moore has been untir-
ing in his efforts, and the association
has never secured so much money
from concessions and privileges as I'M
der his management In the conduct
of his Office Mr.. Moore has been most
business-like, and all his work has
been entirely satisfactory.
Another efficient officer is Mr.. John
p. McGaw, whose efforts to arouse in
terest in the Fair in neighboring coun-
ties. would have brought large returns
under favorable weather conditions.
Mr.. McGaw is a useful man in any
CAPACITY of an Association, and mis-
ambition to devote large part OF MS
time to this character of work will
doubtless be realized.
The Association could not nave
chosen a better manager of the Floral
Hall than Miss Chariottee Henderson.
Miss Henderson is woman OF rare
business ability and her management
has been eminently satisfactory to ex-
hibitors and the Association as we'll

,ous the Nashville American:

SAYS the Nashville Amerlcan'
"If the parties in the outer towns
who intend to visit the State Fair will
carefully read the advertisements OF re-
tail dealers in dry goods, shoes, MIL
linery. jewelry and hundred otner
things appearing the The SUNDAY
American they will know exactiy
where to 60 to get things they may
need The fall season has just open
al and these merchants will vie with
each other in beautiful displays OF
attractive things. Read the advertise
ments. Every word is full OF mean
ing"
This is one Of the chief purposes OF
the state Fair, to get out-of-town peo-
ple to come to Nashville and buy their
goods. and for this reason the state
Fair has the business men OF Nash
vile back OF it. Other sections OF the
state may have such poor shopping
facilities that it is necessary for the
neonle to go to Nashville to make
their purchases, but the people Oh
Maury county have no necessity OF
this character confronting them. Even
the country stores of this county car
nv large and comprehensive stocks,
while the towns and villages can sup
nlv almost any demand upon them.
Here in Columbia the stores carry
large stocks, in quality equal to the
Nashville stores, and in price less
than the Nashville merchants will
charge YOU. So there is no need TO go
to Nashville for any purchase. There
e another feature-money spent away
from home impairs the resources OF
vour town and county and never re-
turns. This drain on home resources
lessons the prosperity Of your own i'm

The temperance Democrats not only
i'm this county but all over the State
are making a fight for the extension
of the Adams law to the entire State.
Some Of the politicians who have
other interests nearer to heart than
the temperance cause, advance the
argument that that is radical" and
is in advance of the Democratic plat
form. If not contrary to the platform.
It is no such thing. The Adams law
is simply a privilege extended to every
community to abolish saloons II they
wish. or to license them IL they pre-
fer. The difference between town
under the Adams law, and another
town not under the Adams Law, Is that
one town has the right to vote saloons
ont and the other town has not that
right The Adams law does not abol.
ish the saloons from any town; 1t sim
ply gives the people the right to abol'
ish them. The Adams law does not
take from the people of any commun''
ty the right to have saloons; 1t SIM
ply gives them the right not to fave
them. Mt. Pleasant is under the
Adams law. 1t has saloons, ana
can keep them as long as 1t pleases,
or get rid of them as soon as 1t pleases.

Lay not the fiattering JUNCTION to
your soul that the saloon interests are
not being looked after. They are
working through their friends the
conservatives" They are working
under the cover; they are making the
stillest hunt that ever was made; but
on the election day, or the convention
day they will spring some trick OF
other; they will not die without
fight, and they are not lacking for
political friends to pull the wires for
them.

The Democratic platform declares
for the extension Of the Adams law
to all communities where the people
effected" by it want it.
Under the plain, sensible construc-
ton of that plank. that the people OF
Maury county are effected" by the
saloons in Mt. pleasant and Columbia,
the temperance people have submitted
to the white mans party the ques-
lion whether or not these hatch holes
os vice and crime should longer remain
In infest this entire county with oilers,
pauperism, wife beaters, drunkenness
and brawlers. The saloon men,
Through their political allies, the con-
servatives, say that is mot fair;
that the country people should nave
no voice or vote in the matter; that
the conservative" people of Columbia
and Mt. Pleasant, assisted by the
negroes and saloon buns, are more en-
titled to. decide this great moral and
business question than are the good
people of the country districts.
That is what we call a tolerable
tough slap at our country friends. II
white democrats vote in the country
is not as good as colored republicans
in the city, it looks like the bottom rail
is on top in good old Maury.
But of course the conservative" do
not mean that; they are simply re-
duced to that; they have nothing else
to claim, so they claim that. What
they mean is that they would have
better chance in Columbia or Mt.
Pleasant, in a general election with
the negro vote up for sale, than they
would in Democratic primary for
white folks only. And We are free to
admit that they would.
But upon the question of fairness:
lis it fair for the city saloonist to make
the country man drunk; then whistle
for the police and have him yanked
off to jail? Is that fair?
When. the country boy comes to
town, fresh and green and unsuspect-
ing. and accepts a clerkship in one of
the stores, is it fair for the ropers in
for these drink shops to take him and
seduce him and fitch from him his
good name, and rob him of his position,
and send him back to his old parents
lin the country, bloated, besotted and
ldisgraced? Is that fair? 1t is fair 10
the boy? Is it fair to his parents!
lis II fair to society? And IL II not fair
that the country man, father and son,
should be allowed to enter their pro-
test against such unfairness, by vote
against the saloon?
Those who are managing the oppo-
lsition to this movement against the
saloon, will all tell you that they are
against the saloon. But their actions
lspeak louder than their words. II they
were against the saloon they would
mot be found planning to vote with
1.-THE saloon.

tory of Maury county. It is a day that

Idren vet unborn 1t is day when
Ievery man may serve his country and
lhis home. 1t is day when every man
loves 1t to himself, his country and
his God, to be on the firing line early

An exchange says: Eighteen coun-
ties of Kansas where liquor is not
sold are not represented in the state
penitentiary. Two containing most
of the saloons furnish most OF the
prisoners. Booze is bad, whether in
Kansas or in Pennsylvania.

The temperance people want to
leave it to the white democrats OF
Maury county to decide whether or
not the saloons shall continue their
death dealing traffic. The "conser-
yatives" want to leave it to the ne
groes and buns of Columbia and Mt.
Pleasant to decide.

We make this reminder and appeal

Saturday is election day. The issue
is Saloon or no Saloon. Urge your
fathers, your sons, your husbands and
your sweethearts. to go to the polls
and vote against the Saloon.

The member of the board in an eff
fort to show that the use Of the library
is not appreciated Sundays, told of an
experience two of the members had
last Sunday. The question of opening
the library was to be taken up Monday
evening, so these two members went
to Davenport Sunday morning, the Ii
brary being open there. The Rock Is
land men remained at the library an
hour
Twenty-One People.
They reported that during the hour
there were all told, n people who were
in the library. OF the 81 there were
s casual visitors, who merely entered
the building. passed through the vari-
Gus rooms, and departed. There were
four boys and two business men. There
were seven men apparently of the la
boring class. ana inquiry revealed that
these men were nearly all men who
boarded or had their homes within two
blocks of the library and that they
were to be found at the library nearly
every evening of the week. The Rock
Island directors were informed by the
librarian that the number at the Il
brary never exceeded so Sunday morn
ings.
The Rock Island library was open to
the public Sundays some years ago,
when the library and the postoffice
were both located in the Mitchell &
Lynde building. The records show tina:
the attendance during the time both
institutions were in the same building
was sufficient to warrant the opening
of the library. but that after the post
Office was removed to the new building
the attendance at the library rapidly
decreased. some Sundays only one per-
tire time
VIII Probably Open.
The members of the board are gen
orally opposed to the opening of the
library, but will probably accede to the
demand and arrange to have the build
ing open 1t is argued that the agita-
ton for the opening of the library has
aroused an interest that will result in
attendance for time TO warrant the
opening of the rooms.
