A REVIVAL IN FAIRS

A revival in the agricultural
fairs of Virginia is evident, and
this year will witness several new
ones in the field, notably the State
FAIR at Richmond. Roanoke is
building on its new grounds, and
is widely advertising several new
features. Men and women from
both town and country enjoy. at
tending these annual gatherings,
which for a season, at least, help
them to take life more pleasantly.
The fairs are patronized year by
year when they present attract
ions that will amuse and instruct.
Hence it is that if fair is to gain
the public patronage it must be
worthy of it.
Periodically for some years past
the question of reviving the cid
Rockbridge Agricultural Fair has
been discussed in the Lexington
papers, in both the editorial and
news columns. 1t lie time for this
question to como up again, and
The GAZETTE invites discussion as
to ways and means of accomplish
ing the desired result. That agri-
cultural fairs are of great benefit
to the county and town goes with
out saying. 1t has a social value
that cannot be overlooked, and
when considered from the various
viewpoints the old agricultural
fair is a good thing.

Wine Barred, But Not Cider

The sale of wine in local option
districts in Virginia is prohibited
by law. The matter has been
recently decided by Assistant At
torney-General Catlett. This de-
cision was rendered in response to
a letter Of inquiry addressed to the
Attorney General. The following
letter was sent in reply to the
inquiry:
Richmond, Aug. 8, 1906.
G. A. Bryan, Esq, Stafford, Va.
Ny dear Sir, Your letter Of the
9Th instant addressed to the Attorney
General, has been received.
AS you are doubtless advised, the
Attorney General is not authorized by
law to give official opinion to other
than officers and boards at the seat Of
government; but wishing to make a
courteous answer to your inquiry, |
would say personally that wine cannot
be sold in a local option district; it
may be made there and shipped out OF
the district for sale, but cannot be
sold and delivered in such district.
Pure apple cider, however, can be sold
in such districts by merchants or
others, unless the sale of cider is en-
tirely prohibited by special laws for
certain localities.
The Legislature at the last sessi on,
by an act approved March IA, 1906,
Acts OF 1906, page 3O7, has defined, or
attempted to defne, what pure cider
is; and my conclusion is that the pure
Juice OF the fruit without admixture
whatever, except personalities, con-
taining not more than seven aud half
per cent. Of aichoi," may be sold in
local option districts without violation
of either the revenue or local option
laws. Very truly yours,
ROBERT CATLETT,
Assistant to the Attorney General,
