Vermont board Of agriculture and

TO DUIID Up OUR OWN STATE.

The suggestion that tho Vermont
Fish and Game League should en-
deavor to secure accommodation for
It's annual banquet in Vermont in
stead Of going to Hotel Champlain
every other year or so, was made, not
because OF desire to promote pro-
vincinlism by the exclusion Of an oc-
canional excursion to the Empire State
or elsewhere, but on account Of our
desire to see powerful organization
like the league devote its far-reaching
ing influence toward the MP -buildins
OF our state.
The members of this organization
composed largely Of nimrods and
anglers, amateur and professional,
can do more than any other body of
men outside of the halls of legislation
to develop Vermont as q resort for
tourists. and proper and adequate
hotel accommodations are among the
FIRST factors to be considered, coming
next after good roads at least, and
possibly standing side by side with
that desideratum. Those allied with
the movement to promote Vermonts
game and nsh interests have it within
their power to attract the required
capital and the right kind OF hotel

RETEENCHUrNT THE NEED IN

For q considerable period the cry
was that Vermont was paying far too
small salaries 20 its public servants
II was ar.-uod that this low scale of
remuneration for public service was Il
measure Of the States lack Of prog
ross and after a tilnc our Legislators
was tho case. The salary attached to
one position after another wa, boost

want in the state had received an in

now we were truly progressive.
At last some people are beginning
to ralizc. however. that there is an
other side to the story, ond that our

OBJECT TO ROADS BEING INTERESTED
 IN COMPRISES

Centreville. June (Special.)- At a mass meeting of the farmers and busi- ness men of Bibb county here today the following resolutions were adopted without division.
 Whereas, it is absolutely necessary that the cotton raisers of the south shall prepare their principal money crop, cotton. for the market in a more economical and logical manner than the present wasteful and bulky package; and
 Whereas. gin compression seems to be the solution of the problem: and Whereas, the railroad companies of many of the southern states. and espe- eially Alabama have failed and refused to make the proper and reasonable rates on compressed cotton from the interior points in Alabama to the ports or to the eastern or southern spinners: and
 Whereas. we believe and are relia- bly, informed that one of the chief, if not the greatest. reason for their fail ure in this regard is because they own or are interested in the operation Of congresses at various points. out of the operation of which they receive a nice revenue; and
 Whereas the business of transpor- tation should not be cbmbined with the business of compressihg cotton or pre- pairing any agricultural products for market or for shipment; there. be it Resolved, by the farmers and busi- ness men of Bib bcounty. In mass meet ing assembled, That we heartily disap- prove of the present condition in this respect and We respectfully urge the governor of Alabama, Hon. B. B. Co., mer. to include in the subjects of leg islation for the coming session a law forbidding any railroad operating in Ala bama from owning or otherwise be- ing interested in the operation of a cotton compress.
 Resolved, further, That we request our representative in Congress, Hon. O. ". Underwood. to propose a bill in Congress touching the same subject and with a similar end in view.

FAIRNESS WANTS
 FRUIT PROTECTED
City Health Officer Explains Benefits of Having Fruit in Closed
 Cases.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In yesterdays paper there appeared an article criticising the effort that Is be- ing made to protect the fruit sold on our streets from dust and flies.
 The gentleman is perfectly correct in saying that our efforts at exterminating the house fly should be aimed at his breeding place but even under the most favorable conditions it will be a num- Der of years before we see the last of the fly, to say nothing of the clouds of dust that are raised from dirty streets by every gust of wind and deposited on fruits and other foods that are exposed. This gentleman calls attention to the use lessness of protecting bananas and oranges and further tries to kill much needed reform with ridicule by attempting to create the impression that we are try ing to make dealers screen eggs and melons, which has not been contemplated.
 As for bananas and oranges while the measure Is not aimed at these fruits as much as at others, still even bananas and oranges especially bananas should be protested from dust and flies. It Is very common to see bananas with the skins broken, the fruit pulp thus exposed direct ly, covered with flies, which, for all we known, have within the hour been revel- ing in the unspeakable filth surrounding some obscene case of typhoid fever, dys- ente.y or tuberculosis. Oranges are fre- auentiy eaten by children and adults well, sucking out the juice. In this way 8 person would certainly get full benefit of whatever poison there might be on the outside of the orange.
 Again the average customer at the fruit stand does not peel his apple as does our worthy friend, who does not see the ne- eessity for protecting fruits. But last and most important of all the gentleman who is so much disturbed over our harsh measures does not mention peaches. figs, grapes raisins, dates, berries, tomatoes and many similar fruits and vegetables. The most of these cannot be washed clean when once they have been soiled. Indeed there Is usually no attempt made to wash the most of them although they are com monly covered when bought with dust and flies.
 This Mir Editor, is the class of fruits that we are seeking to have properly cared for and l believe that every person giving this matter a little serious thought must be convinced of the reasonableness of such a measure. Truly yours,
 R B. HARKNESS. M. D.,
 City Health Officer.

MONTGOMERY MAY
 NOT HAVE FAIR

Montgomery, June 2.-(Special.)-At a meeting of the directors of the State fair tonight committees were appointed to con- fer with the banks as to financing the debt of the association, and with citizens to determine public sentiment on the Ques- ton of hold a fair this fall On the re- ports to be made 10 days hence will de- pend whether or not there will be a fair this fall.
 The question of holding a fair has been up in the air for some days, the report having gone out that none would be held. The people became very much in- terested, and the papers took 1t up de- claring that it would be a calamity to abandon this annual event or sucn great interest President Chambers took the position that it was hard to raise the balance of $10,000 needed to put the asso- citation In good shape, and he seemed to feel that 1t was rather hard job.
 The fair association has given three fairs at the grounds, two of which have been great successes. Last year the out come was very encouraging, the debts be- ing paid and the association having no more than the bonded debt that is GOV cred by the buildings, which are among the best in the country for such purposes. If no fair Is held and no arrangement made for taking care of the interest. the bonds may be sold, and they are only a small part of the entire cost of the build ings, and to sell them for that amount would be a great sacrifice
