EXHIBITS ARRIVING.

From hurried investigation made
on the grounds this morning we are
able to say that the county fair this year
will be larger and better than ever. At
an early hour this forenoon the cattle
barns were we'll filed with beef and
dairy cattle. There are some fine spec
linens of horses in the stables, and the
Shetland pony and burrow exhibit of H.
Schiller is attractive. The sheep pens
are all filled, and one exhibitor has a
fine lot of Angora goats, one of them
having horns over two feet in length
The pig pens were well filed with fine
specimens of the leading breeds of
porkers. When looking ever the pig
exhibit, don't fail to see Roy Duncan's
mule-f footed swine At the time we Wis.,
tied the grounds the poultry showing
was not large, but we are informed that
many who had promised to make ex-
hibits in this department had not ar
rived at that time, so that it is reason
ably certain that the poultry shed will
be well filled. The same can be said of
the agricultural department. What
farm produce had arrived was of an ex-
cellent quality. The art and school de-
partments are hampered for space.
Only third of the high schools exhib-
it was taken to the grounds, and then
it was found that there ives lack of
space TO show even that amount. The
county school of agriculture has neat
showing in one corner of the main
building.
One thing is very noticeable. There is
larger array of refreshment and other
stands on the grounds this year than
ever before, and the odor of the hot
sausage and coffee is very loud. The
track is in fine shape and as fine string
of horses have been entered it is GER
tain that the races will be fast.
The grounds have been cleaned up
ard look fine, and barring bad weather
the fair is bound to be success in every
detail,

S PURSUING THE RIGHT
COURSE.

1t is more than street rumor that
pressure was brought to bear on Mayor
Lamont, to let the few saloons that
formerly maintained gambling places,
to open their places during fair week.
To his credit the mayor stood firm and
refused to be driven from his position
by threats of political destruction, loss
of business or ridicule. The PILoT
knows that all good citizens join with
it in commencing John F. Lamont for
the backbone he has shown in this
matter. AS rule, in matters like this,
a mayor has to stand the criticisms of
the few who are refused unlawful
license and never hears from the many
who endorse his action. Let not such
be the case in this instance. Of all
vices, public gambling is the most de-
moralizing. 1t takes money from its
victims at the expense of those depend
ent on them and tends to loss of posi-
ton and lack of confidence in any man
addicted to the habit The friends of
personal liberty, especially, should real
ize that public gambling, more than
any other thing has brought the saloon
business into disrepute and caused
liberal minded men to favor sumptuary
legislation in the effort to wipe it out.
The reputable saloon in the past has
had to bear the odium brought on the
business by the gambling saloon. The
idea that town with It's streets decor
ated with fiashily dressed profession.

ATHLETIC CARNIVAL.

A five mile motor cycle race will be
the great exciting feature event of the
the great athletic carnival to be run
off commencing tomorrow at the fair
grounds under the auspices of the local
I. M Z. A. This race has been added
to the already printed program on ac-
count OF two of the races advertised
not tllling and the prizes of the two
races will be punched and divided to
make three good prizes for the motor
race. This race ought to be a big
drawing card on Friday when it will be
run off. There are four motors in
town and they have all entered and
there will probably be a couple from
out of town. All the other races have
been filled and there promises to be
some good sport when they are run
off.
The races will open Wednesday after
noon and will be sandwiched between
the horse races. The first event will be
100 yd. dash; five fast men are
entered and fast and close race will
be witnessed. The second event
Wednesday will be an obstacle race;
several good runners will line up for
this race and on 100 I'D. course will
have to overcome several obstacles with
20 yd. straight away to finish. The
third race will be bicycle race and
some good riders have entered and this
will be an interesting one.
The three races on Thursday will all
be mighty interesting to the spectators.
The first race, I mile run, has six of
the fastest men in the city at this dis
lance and the crowd will see some fast
time made, any one of the men being
able to run the in less than a minute.
The second race will be a sack race
with dozen entries, all fast men; they
will run 100 yds. with a sack tied around
there necks. The third event on this
day promises to be the banner event,
the mile run, the largest prizes have
been offered for this event and they
have induced about six of the fastest
men in town to enter, and the man
that wins will have run his mile in fast
time as any of the entries can do the
distance in less than minutes.
Fridays three events ought to be the
most interesting ones of the whole
athletic program. The first one will be
l mile relay race, four men teams
each man running / mile. there are
four entries for the race and it will be
doubly interesting for the spectators as
on ] mile track there will be two
starts in front of the grand stand.
The second race will be the motor
cycle race, a new thing in the line of
racing in these parts and with ] dozen
entries it will be the most exciting of
the whole week.
Last but not least will be the old
soldiers walking race which will be
filled on the grounds, as Friday will be
Old Soldiers day and this race ought to
create considerable interest.
w. H. Norman will act as starter
and referee for the races; the timers
will be the official fair timers who look
after the timing of the horse acing.
Winners and their times will be an
nounced from the judges stand after
each race.
The two races declared off are the
ladies' walking race and the fat mans
race, both scheduled for Friday, motor
cycle race taking place of both.

CUMBERLAND
CATCHES FITS
Ellisville Register Vociferous
Kick Against Methods of
the Telephone Trust.
Daily News Special.


Jackson, Miss. October 14.-An-
other loud complaint was registered
against the Cumberland Telephone
Company yesterday in "a letter re-
ceived by the railroad commission
from Manager J. A. Pryor of the
Western Union Telegraph Company ut
looked into at the earliest possible
moment.
Mr.. Pryor states that the Cumbcr-
land is charging him S2.75 for his bus
mess telephone. and Is per cent. com
missions on all business transmitted
oyer that phone. The telegraph com
paay delivers a great many messages
by phone instead of by messenger, sew
eral of its largest patrons being from
one to four miles out of town, or in
the edge of town, and / 3 per cent. com
mission on all such business would
mean at least 80 per month. The
p'alager explains that Ellisville has a
n&l rate of $2.75 with the telephone
company. the contract being on file
a the mayors office.
Anent the troubles of the Cumbcr-
land at Hattiesburg, General Manager
Leland Hume writes the commission
hat he has been to Hattiesburg to
see il he could not straighten out ma.
tels with the city council and the bus
iress men, and is of the opinion that
he convinced them his company was
taking the proper view of the situation
aad that he is right in his contention
for a 50 instead of a $3.50 rate to res
licences and private individuals.
Mr.. Hume states that the HattieJ-
burg papers published a very garbled
and unjust report of the meeting be-
tween himself and the city council and
insists that he has the moral as well
as the legal right to increase rates 10
what the state commission considered
Jas and reasonable, and which were
less than those rates allowed the Cum
terland in its franchise from the city
OF Hattiesburg.
A legal firm at Hattiesburg also
writes asking questions about the
Cumberland.

Venezuela will take the stand that

Identification is forthcoming from the
Netherlands government for the insult

Holland has no right at all to make
