The News job office this week
printed for the reunion advertis-
ing committee supply of prem
ium lists in circular form, which
will be sent out to the several
postoffices in the county for dis
tribution. These premiums are
for exhibits of stock, farm, gar
den and orchard products and Il
list of specials" takes in a va
riety of things. Several pum-
bcrs on the list are calculated to
provoke a little mcrriment, as
in the case of premiums being
offered for the LATEST and the
ugliest man, respectively. Squire
R assures The News that
he is already running a good
race for the place of --latest man,
with w. F. K--a close sec
ond. The News will not be a
party to boosting the claims OF
any particular man for this en-
viable place, hence it leaves the
above names partially blank.
Of course the parties whom we
have in mind will know by that
"tired feeling and other infal-
lible proofs that we are talking
about them, but no one else is
intended to be "next.
Another number, that of two
nice premiums being offered for
the prettiest young lady on the
grounds, will no doubt cause
MARY Jane" and the other bon
ME lassies to put on a smiling
face for the occasion and The
News suggests that this prem
ium not be awarded until the
last day that everybody may
have the pleasure OF seeing
"Mary Jane" "play to the gal
leries" during the whole show.
1t is such pleasure to see a
pretty girl smile and blush, you
know.
As a matter of fact every Can
yon City girl will be a hopeful
contestant for this premium,
and we'll might they be, and
The News editor just wants te
see the color of the mans eyes
that can pick THE PRETzlES7
ONE out of Hill the pretty
smiling faces that will be on ex
hibition during these three days
If The News editor was glver
the responsible duty Of judging
this contest he would simply
have to 60 to some community
where there were some ugly ole
maids with the occasional mix
ture of "angel', because til
said that we can only realiz
superiority by contrast) betor
he could establish a reputation
as being an expert judge OF pref
ty girls.
If the Judge in this case doe
reach a verdict and picks on
THE ONE of the many that ar
sure to be there, he had bette
never run for a public office i
this country, nor attempt to es
tablish matrimonial relation
with any young lady who wa
on the grounds and did not hav
this coveted encomium passe
on her wealth OF beauty.
II is to be remembered tina
any contestant for this premium
is not "supposed' to resort to
puff box, nor allow a ''rat
to approach nearer than ten fet
to her for fully ten days befor
the trial.

A Frog to the Rescue.

One day couple of my friends
were sitting on the river bank when
they heard the cry of frog in dis
tress. Following the direction from
which the sound came, they discov-
cred snake in the act of swallowing
frog. Just then another frog, evil
IDENTIFY attracted by the distressing
cries of its mate in jeopardy, hoped
up to the scene of action. For u
moment 1t sat blinking at the enemy,
then leaped forward, seized the snak 9
by the neck and tugged it into the
river. The water quickly poured be-
tween the snakes distended jaws, and
it was, of course, compelled to re-
lease its victim in order to escape
drowning. This it promptly did,
and the liberated frog swan away
with its plucky mate, while the baf-
fled snake wriggled, as best it could,
to the shore.-W Woman's Home Com

Nothing for Port Royal.

Washington, June 16.--Chairman Foss,
of the House Naval Affairs Committee,
has informed Representative Patterson
that his committee would under no cir
cumstances agree to the item of 100000
placed in the bill by the Senate to estab-
lish training station at Port Royal.
Patterson then sought an interview
with Speaker Cannon in an attempt to
secure his aid in the matter. Cannon
absolutely opposed spending any more
money at Port Royal, and ssid it had
been distinctly agreed when the subject
of making the naval station at Charles
ton was first brought up that no more
money should be spent at Port Royal,
and that he would not only not help the
project along, but would feel it his duty
to block the matter in every Legitimate
way. He says also that there is no use
for an additional training station there,
and that any more money spent on the
station will be that much thrown away.
Patterson and Tilln,an have taken the
matter up. There seems to be nothing
further to do in the matter, as Cannon
will pot allow the item to stand in the
bill when 1t comes back to the House.

Another Star Added 10 Nations Flag.

Washington, June 1e.-Another star
was added to the Union to-day, when
President Roosevelt signed the bill ad-
mitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory
as one State. The measure also provides
that Arizona and New Mexico may be
admitted to Statehood as the State of

hard to bring about the enactment OF the
measure, were present, as also were
Delegate Mcclure, of Oklahoma, and a
delegation of residents of Oklahoma,

Secretary Loeb and several others.
The President used two pens in sign

sented by the people of Arizona and his
family name, Roosevelt" with an eagle
quill taken from an American eagle in
Oklahoma.

A Tragedy Of inc Sea.

charleston News and Courier, June 15. ]
A tragedy occurred at the Isle of
Palms late yesterday afternoon, the first
in several seasons, when q. L. Hayes,
formerly principal of the State Normal
School of Florida, and recently repre-
senting publishing house of Nashville,
Tenn, was drowned while making an
heroic effort to save others whom he
thought in danger. The body of Mr..
Hayes was recovered in short while and
was brought to the city last night. To
day, accom- panied by Prof. w. X. Tate,
with whom Mr.. Hayes was in bathing,
the body will sta,t on its journey to
Nashville. Mr.. Hayes was about 50
years of age and leaves widow and
four children. Friends of the deceased
were notified last night of the death of
Mr.. Hayes and were requested to carry
the sad tidings to the widow. The
tragedy, taking place as it did in full
view of the bathers, many of whom were
women, was peculiarly sad one, in that
the victim was in the prime of life and
was the head of a young family.

In Northern Italy the construction

and the irrigated areas are constantly

need of irrigation than any State in

crops doubled and tripled, and en-

J. Fraser Lyon for Attorney General.
THE State, June 49, ]

THE State, June 18
j. Fraser Lyon yesterday left for his
home at Aboeville. He stated positively
that he would enter the rdoe for Attorney
General. Mr.. Lyon has received a great
many letters asking him to run for Gov
ernor and great many asking him to
run for Attorney General. He had de-
cided at first not to take part in the State
campaign, but in the light of develop
ments within the last few days he has
made up his mind to run for Attorney
General.
Those who know Mr.. Lyon feel sure
that he has done right, for he will make
q vigorous campaign on the issue that
the State dispensary should be abolished
and that II elected: he will prosecute
those who may be deemed subject to in
dictment. Mr.. Lyon IL son of Judge
j. Fuller Lyon, of Abbeville, is a gradu-
ate of Wofford college, has represented
Abbeville countyI in the State conven-
tions. was clerk of the judiciary commit
tee of the Senate for several s--a and
served two years in the Legislature. His
work on the investigating committee is
fresh in the minds of the people. While
he has been patient and accomplishing,
there is growing belief that Mr.. Lyons
sub-committee was handicapped in Its
work.
He stated yesterday that he had found
one hundred times more material than he
had expected when he first began this
unpleasant Assignment.
