science, motive and will.
These We're treated not as character

ing were said to be chiefly Bible study,
prayer and Christian activity. the last
'of which embraced MISSIONS social life

STATE FAIR HAS
MADE MUCH PROGRESS
Interesting Executive Meeting
Last Night-Fifty Thousand
in Sight.

AT the meeting of the organization OF
the Virginia State Fair Association held
last night In Murphy's Hotel. reports
from the various soliciting committees
showed that nearly $1,000 was already
In hand, about 10000 more assured next
week and $1,000 more assured for the
week following. This will make a total
of 5000 to be on hand within two weeks
from date and will leave 5000 more
to be secured to make the total capital
OF 10000.
Most OF the committees hope to COM
plete the heaviest part of their canvass
next week.
AT the next meeting OF the committee
tho question of site for the fair build
ings will be considered Last night tho
committee in charge OF this matter re-
ported that there were three or four
good sites which were at present being
Investigated, and the Fair Association
could get any one Of the sites named.
The Transportation Committee reported
on the Investigations as to carrying the
thousands of visitors to and from the
fair grounds at any one of the sites UNI
der consideration.
The question OF having financial
agent OF the fair was discussed at some
length but action on the question was
finally postponed until future meet
ing.
After the meeting members OF the COM
.mittees discussed the prospects of the
fair In an Informal way some time. Ore

MR.. GLOVES GOES ON
STAND monday MORNING
DR.. Foster Has Ended His Testi-
mony for the Present-Nothing
Can Be Learned.

After four days on the witness stand,
Dr. l.. l.. Foster, superintendent OF the
Eastern State Hospital. mas completed
his testimony against II. II. Cloves OF
Richmond, whose fitness as n member
OF the asylum board of directors is now
under investigation, and the Senate spe-
cial committee conducting the inquiry
will PROBABLY on Monday proceed to hear
the first important evidence to be pre-
scented by the defense.
At the conclusion OF the statement OF
the chief, II not the only, opposition wit
ness, 1t is still impossible to ascertain
what has occurred within the committee
room since the hearing began last Tues
day. With the exception of DIR. Foster
only two character witnesses introduced
by Mr. Cloves Tuesday afternoon have
testified The superintendent has held
the stage absolutely, and has within this
time been subjected to very rigid cross
examination at the hands OF Colonel
George Wayne Anderson. repre- senting
the defense. AS for the nature OF the tes-
timony, all that can be said Is that the
most sensational OF the charges against
Mr.. Cloves has not been formally brought.
and that a good deal has been said about
the alleged voting OF the Richmonder for
| n negro Republican IN 1883, and his al
legged attempt to force hospital employees
to vote for Montague in the last political
campaign.
1t Is understood that there will be some
Foster witnesses to come later. Mr..
Cloves may go. on the stand Monday. He
will be followed by a largo number OF
witnesses.
The investigating committee met yes
terday afternoon ut $3.50 o'clock. and
after a session OF n little over an hour.
adjourned until Monday morning. The
hearing will be completed next week.

They are having a lively fight in
South Carolina over the irrepressible dis
nensary system. a bill known as the
Morgan bill has passed the House, and
will probably be disposed of by the Senate
during the coming week.
The bill is a general prohibition meas
ure. abolishng the State dispensary sys-
tenn. and prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of alcoholic or malt liquors. But 1t
has a local option feature and provides
that upon petition OF one-thtrd OF the
qualified voters OF any county, the county
supervisors shall order an election TO be
held to determine whether or not liquor
shall be sold, and II the vets win. a
county dispensary may be estapiishsa;
otherwise the county remains dry THESE
elections may be held not oftener than
once in four years.
Exception is made in the case oil cilles
of more than 1000 inhabitants. Every
such city has the option of voting for
or against the license system and II the
vets win. saloons will be permitted but
Charleston is the only city in the state
coming within this provision.
Even Il this bill fails TO become law
the individual counties may act under
what is known as the Brice law, which
was recently sustained by the supreme
Court. and which gives each county the
right to vote the dispensary out of bust
ness, substituting prohibition.
