HUGHES HOBNOBS
 WITH OPPONENT

Syracuse, N. Y, September 17-Gov. enor Charles E. Hughes and Lieutenant Governor Chanler met here today at the state fair grounds on the common ground of their official duties to the state, re- ceived the enthusiastic plaudits of prob ably the largest crowd that ever gath cred within the fair grounds. Governor Hughes and MT. Chanler first met at a fiag-raising at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in this city earlier in the day. The tribute of cheers to the rival candidates when they appeared upon the platform within the fair enclosure where Governor Hughes formally dedicated the new man ufacturers and liberal arts building was far more personal than political in it's meaning.
 It was the duty of Lieutenant Governor Chanler as ex-officio chairman of the state fair commission to act as host while the chief executive of the state was the guest of honor in the observance of governors day"
 MT. Chanler introduced Governor Hughes who spoke on the achievements of the state fair and paid high compli- ment to the members of the state fair commission. The lieutenant governor aft erwards expressed his thanks to the gov ernor.
 Governor Hughes, MT. Chanler and oth- CT distinguished guests were entertained at luncheon in the fair grounds and after wards made a tour of inspection of the principal buildings and exhibits. Late in the afternoon the governor will address the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton and then he and MT. Chanler, after a banquet at the Century club, will review the fraternal carnival parade one of the picturesque features of the fair week.

Some New Music

The Gotham musical attractions, which are securing more attention than any others at present, are Fluffy Ruffles' and Victor Herberts new opera, Al geria''
 Miss Fluffy Ruffles,' in the person of Miss Hattie Williams, made her bow as a real flesh and blood young miss, instead of MT. Wallace Morgan's paper lady, at the Criterion theatre recently, and while a dozen love-sick swains followed in her wake she sang her way into the hearts of twice as many in the audience. The best songs in the production are Willie Has Another Girl Now" which Fluffy sings charmingly, so the critics say, and the duet sung by Miss Williams and MT. George Grossmith, Jr., entitled T Love You" This is reported to be the Merry Widow Waltz of the Fluffy Ruffles'' musical melange.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Good Showing Made By The County
During Past Year.

shows the county's Indebtedness
to have decreased 81, 1,046.22 the
past year. Will Sharp county do
as wcll?-Hardy Herald.
The citizen who would give a
moments consideration to the
matter would know that Sharp
would not "do as well" as Fulton
this year. Fulton county is not
building any bridges; Sharp
county is. The annual statement
from the clerk of the financial
condition Of Sharp county, pub
lished in the Record today, shows
the county to owe only S615.2O
more now than it owed twelve
months ago. Taking this sum
from the amount expended for
bridges during the year and the
sum of $500 remains, which
represents exactly the amount
harp county's Indebtedness
would have been reduced during
the past twelve month but for the
fact that the county is just now
investing in bridges. Under the
circumstances, the fact that the
county's Indebtedness was in
creased only S615.20 in the year
just past reflects much credit
upon those who have the man.

in charge, and is really a pleas

close observers Of county affairs.
In connection with the Clerk s
annual statement, the Herald
says further: ga condensed

ton of the county is published
