Russwum, who Is the secretary of the Tennessee State Fair, Is In Birmingham. having an exhibit of pigs and hogs on at the Fair here. this morning stated that 1t will not be but few years before Nashville and Birmingham will be wrestling the first class honors for fairs from Dallas, Tex. The latter city. he says, has the reputation for the best fairs in the South. but judg- ing by the fairs held this year in Nashville and Birmingham, that city will not hold the honor much longer now.
 Friday Is school children's day and 1t Is expected that ten thousand chil- dren and escorts will be on the grounds. All the city and county pub He schools will close tomorrow, the teachers to receive their usual pay for work as If the schools were on. All the passes to the fair will be sus- pended tomorrow so that the day promises to be a record breaking one throughout. The Fair Is proving popular place In the evening. the at- tendance being extraordinarily large and the concerts by Rtcci's band being very fine Miss Hammin, of Cincin- natl the soprano soloist, is one of the finest open air singers heard here in many a day.
 The indications point to a successful Fair this year from all points. at- tendance and finances as well as what Is being shown. The first two days were the poorest of all. the weather being extremely bad.

Drek session Arranged to Round Out the Old Fiscal Year With

the Oid Fiscal Year With
 January l to Begin
 New One.
 After few minor suggestions and questions which were soon satisfac- tortly strengthened out. the ordina nee authorizing an appropriation to cover the indebtedness of the city for the three remaining months of the old nscal year was carried at the special called meeting of the City Council Thursday night.
 The new fiscal year having been adopted. there were financial matters pertaining to the months from octo- Der I. 1908, to December 3l, 1908, which needed the attention of the Aldermen so there would be no conflict with the new year which starts according to'the calendar. In order to avoid con- fusion 1t has been decided by the Council to get everything straight be- fore new year. and the appropriat ton made last night was to cover the ex- penses incurred in this time and any overdrafts of different departments that may have been made.
 There being some doubt about the validity of the Mayors right to ap- point 8 clerk temporarily to attend to the work of the city office. the subj was brought up. and finding the bond of Clerk J. J. Farley, now away on vacation, covered the work of any one who may be appointed in his place during his absence. the appointment of J. G. Cowan was confirmed by the Council.
 There seemed to be some misunder- standing about the matter, and Mir. Cowan, who was present, asked leave to address the Aldermen, which was granted. He said he had accepted the appointment of Mir. Farley and the Mayor had concurred with Mir. Farley in wishing him to take over the work, especially because of his familiarity with the license department of the work. He said if there was any ob- jectfon to his serving he would be glad If the appointment was given someone else. This matter was ex- piained and the question settled by Mir. Cowan being unanimously appointed acting clerk in the absence of Mir. Farley.
 There being no other business before the Council, c motion to adjourn was made and carried.

Election Notes.

Three more counties have
been added to the prohibition
column, viz, Chester, Clarendon
and Laurens, as the result OF
Tuesdays election. Partial
returns from each of the three
counties indicate the voting out
of the dispensary by over.
whelming majorities. Only "a
few weeks ago Union county
voted on the liquor question and
decided to remain dry. Thus
the prevailing sentiment over
the State seems to be against
the sale of whiskey, whether it
be a "dry" county that has
tested prohibition or a dispep-
sary county that wants to be
rid of the incubus that has been
fastened upon it.
There is none to dispute that
Taft will be the biggest presi-
dent since Grover Cleveland.
Kern couldn't swing Indiana
into the Democratic column.
Perhaps, however, Kern got

anyone else concerned, in the
way of free advertising. Which
