Echoes of the Fair-Its Charm and
Interest.

interest.
A bugle call to gaiety has sounded
after months of unusual quiet, and
the fair, with its pleasures, has touch
ed glowing1y the past week We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings, bring
ing the horse show, were of special
interest and justified the hopes they
had kindled. Socially the event was
a success, and in its excellent and ar
tistic displays it will doubtless give
a fresh impetus to riding and driving.
The honor list, published elsewhere,
tells of blue ribbons galore and many
more enduring trophies. Reviewing
the program, one is tempted to dwell
upon each number that made mem
orable the horse show nights, not for
getting mention of the pretty cos
tunes, the decorations. the carnival
spirit that abounded. The tourna-
ment was, as always, interesting, re-
calling fayorite pastime of the old
en-, golden days The knights, in gay
colored velvet suits, entered eagerly
and skilfu1ly into the contest, and
each with loyal groups of friends was
warmly applauded as he sought the
coveted rings. Mr.. Edward Hum
the privilege of selecting the queen
of the tourney, compliment he
gracefully bestowed upon Miss An
ME Dudley Evans. Second in the
contest was Mr.. Stannard Equen, who
chose as maid of honor Miss Vesta
Wood. Mr.. Jack Cox selected as the
wearer of his wreath Miss Louise
Morgan, while Mr. Saunders Brad
ford completed quartette of attract
i've girls by crowning Miss Christine
Rogers of Aberdeen. The Queen and
her three attendants made a lovely
picture as they drove in front of the
grand stand to receive from their
gallant knights such charming evil
dences of favor.
The Daughters of the Confederacy,
throughout the week. added substan-
TALLY to the chapters treasury, and
gained laurels along other lines, their
carriage. beautifully decorated with
the national colors, being awarded
the first prize, a handsome silver
trimmed loving cup. in the carriage
team class on Thursday evening.
With the football game Friday af-
ternoon, the fair of 1908 became a
memory, JOYOUS and bright, and in
its admirable features, well planned
and executed, should be an incentive
TO enlarged effort in the future.

A PROBLEM FOR THE CONVEN
 TON.

The contests in the south have pre-
 extremely judicious handling by the
 republican national convention. In many of the states. notably in Louis jana the contests are between white re- publicans who have the support of the national administration and negroes and whites who are driven by factional fights into antagonism to the national administration. In the making up of the Taft delegations the negroes have generally been ignored especially in Louisiana where the Lily Whites un- dertook to monopolize republication.
 Whatever may be the merits of the local quarrels between the negroes and their white republican neighbors a de- cision by the convention against the former would intensity the sentiment which the Brownsville affair has aroused.
 In fact, it would go farther toward alienating the colored vote than the wholesale discharge of the negro sol diers and all the speeches in defense of the presidents order have done. And that in the language of the period is "a plenty"
 The business of the national conven- tion will be not solely to nominate candidate for the presidency but to ] take such steps as it can to insure hts !! election, for without a proper precau. ! tion against the events of next Novem- i Der, convention might as well not be 1 held. TWg
 The convention is therefore con- fronted by a problem which never an- noyed its predecessors. The contests themselves would be sufficiently diff ficult problems but they have been rendered more complex by the un- fortunate Brownsville matter.

NEW KIND OF AIRsHIP.

A gentleman of Austrian parentage,
 whose name in print looks like an
 eruption of consonants, and who is now resident of the state of New Jersey. is the inventor of a new type
 of airship which he is very confident will fly. He has taken the celebrated New Jersey mosquito for his model
 The wings are twenty-seven feet in width and there is a tail fourteen feet long that is operated by ball. bearing machinery. The body of the airship will contain 60-horse power gasoline engine weighing 12S pounds. The ship. it's inventor claims, will carry three passengers and will travel from sixty to one hundred miles an hour. There IS no question but what the flying mechanism of the mosquito if it can be reproduced in an airship, will give us the most powerful vessel of that character which has yet been con- The New Jersey inventor claims that he has copied it exactly with the exception of the hum
