FAIR ASSOCIATION TO
 MEET NEXT JANUARY
Delay in winding Up Affairs of Last Fair Due to Death of Auditor

At the annual meeting of the Ala bama State Fair Association to be held the First Monday in January a success sor to President W. F. vandiver will be elected. along with other officers ana the reports of the last fair held here in october will be made by Secretary Robert Tait President Vandiver in- sists on his resignation. which was formally handed in last May Since that time he has not taken active part in the affairs of the Fair Association. with the exception of what assistance he could render during the last fair.
 The affairs of the Fair Association have not been wound up. the delay be- ing occasioned by the death of R. Ford. who had charge of the auditing of the accounts. MT Ford had nearly finish ed this work when he was stricken. and after several weeks illness died. It then became necessary to go over all of his work again by one not familiar with the books and accounts. The work is nearly completed.
 Secretary Tait said, when seen last night, that the last fair was success. while no money was made. he says. he thinks that the association broke even. MT. Tait says that he now believes the Fair Association is a permanent insti- tuition, and that plans are already be- ing laid for one of the largest fairs that Alabama has ever had next year.

TROUBLE. IN PICKENS
AN rNctrrENr. RACE RIOT NEAR
 GORD0.
Bfaek Meb FireA Upsn White Man ana Killsa One sf Their Number.
 Effteen Are ArreofeG.

Carroiitou. Dec. i0--fSpecial.) Pick ems County was threatened with a race riot early yesterday morning when trouble occurred between Gordo and
 whiE Lowe. sa respectable farmer, seed cotton from his place from time to time. He suspected some negroes and distributed d number of small tags in the cotton as a means of detection. The plan worked well. The marked cotton was found in the possession of Will Lowe. negro. He was promptly arrested by Mir. Lowe.
 It seems that the negro, VIII Lowe. has larfe number of relatives In the community. who. upon hearing of the arrest. gathered around Mir. Lowe and his prisoner. The negroes began fir- ing pistols, and at the first volley a number of shots hit the negro prison CT. resulting in his death.
 This infuriated the blacks. who fired on MT. Lowe. He was struck with two bullets fired from winchester ri- fie, one making a flesh wound on the head and the other near the lip. Fort unately for MT. Lowe the wounds prov. ed to bs slight. merely cutting the flash.
 From best accounts of the shooting 1t seems that Bud Lowe, relative oi the negro who was killed. is the one who used the Winchester. He and a number of negroes are at large. but they may be in the hands of the sheriff, who is in pursuit with posse of citizens Sheriff BurGin was summoned to the scene of the trouble early this morning Several citizens of this place, all armed with shot guns and rides, accompanied the sheriff and Deputy Turnipseed.
 This negro community has given the white people great deal of trouble. Their numbers, and the relationship existing among them, has made them bold and desperate. Oficers regard this negro settlement as the most danger ous place in the county.
 Some years ago. two deputy sheriffs were driven out by the negroes, who seam to resent all efforts on the part of the county officers to serve papers on them for any offencve.
 A number of deputy sheriffs. who ac- companied Mir. Burgin to the scene oi the trouble. returned late yesterday af- ternoon with fifteen prisoners.
