This contractor got results.

Some years ago a contractor build
ing railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laboIers-
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders TO cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
and his men showed decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value OF good oatmeal. So
The cost was small; 10c for regular
size packages; il is also packed in her.
metically sealed tins for hot climates.

[ From London Sentinel,
June 23.)

Edwards refused to sign
the petition for Caleb
Powers, whom he had al
ways claimed to be a per-
secuted political prisoner.
But we remember when a
certain man that had
come to London about the
same time Edawrds came
from Kansas, was being
tried for the murder of a
Mountain girl, whose dy-
ing statement was that
this man had seduCed her
under promise of marriage
and performed an abOr-
ton upon her. --when this
man sought freedom, Mr..
Edwards gladly wrote Gin
confidence" to the Cover
nor, asking that he be
pardOned. This shows
clearly how much this
man Edwards thinks of
the Mountain People.

TuCKY STATE FAIR PREMIUM
LIST BY MANY THOUSANDS.
PREPARATIONS RAPIDLY PUSHED
Everything Points to Record Breaking
Exhibition and Attendance for Big
Show OF 1910.

With an investment of approximate.
ly 100000 In buildings and grounds
and record of seven successive an.
nual exhibitions before it, the Ken
lucky State Fair will begin in Louis
vile on September ~ and continue
throughout the week. The bright prom.
Use is given that the turnstiles will
/ click this year on one of the greatest
state fairs in America. Hard and un.
ceasing work on the part of the board
of managers. the fair officials and en-.
ployes, for many weeks past is rapidly
bringing TO completion all plans and
arrangements for the exhibition.
While no new buildings have been
erected since last years fair, there
will be ample accommodations for ex-
hibtors and visitors Nature has
worked wonders in the beautiful $50.
acre plot occupied as a fair site, and
the Kentucky show is rapidly gaining
distinction as the most beautiful state
fair in America. Under the landscape
gardeners care the grounds have been
adorned with shrubs, new walks and
avenues have been laid out, and the
trees planted when the site was first
eelected have grown TO shade produc-
ing proportions. The system OF illu
mination has been extended so thai
every nook and corner of the grounds
will be brilliantly lighted each night of
the show week. Those who have
watched the progress of work on this
years exhibition venture the opinion
that the attendance, which last year
reached high-water mark, will this
year be increased by thousands.
Cash prizes aggregating about $780,
600 have been hung up in premiums
for tho 1910 fair. In many instances
the prizes have been increased over
former years. and many additional
classitications have been made More
attractive than ever will be the "spe-
cial prizes" which this year will ag-
gregate between five and ten thousand /.
dollars.
Aside from the thousands OF dollars .
received in cash by exhibitors there .
comes a yet greater prize-the distinc- I
ton of an award from the Kentucky .
State Fair. The sentimental and eX
plotting value of such an award has
now grown until il is one Of the most
coveted prizes sought for by those who
nav be described as professional eX-
hibitors in the country's largest agri-
cultural exhibitions. II is not posi-
bic 10 nut an estimate on the prestige
and distinction that accompany
prize from the state fair of a common
wealth recognized as the head of tho
horse world, as one of the foremost
live stock states, and as an aGricul.
tural community with few superior in
the Union.

The honest and observing friends
of ID. {. Edwards all over the Dis
trict. are admitting that unless
there is a change in the tide. that
Mr., Edwards will be swept down in
an overwhelming defeat. They have
hoped in vain to see the Powers
boom bust, but day by day they
witness 10 th-ir sorrw, the Powers
sentiment getting stronger; the
Powers vote getting larger, and the
certainty of of Powers victory is
more evident as the 18th of Septem-
Der rolls around.

S. b. Rees, Ex-Sheriff of Knox
county has seen cause to take the
Advocate to task because it has been
supporting a native Knox county
citizen for Congress instead of sup
porting D. c. Edwards and after
using almost two columns of space in
Edwards Echo says that because
the Advocate is for Powers he will
be defeated.
He recites the fact that the Advo.
cate has always opposed Edwards
and that he has always been elected;
that we were for Fairbanks and he
was defeated, etc.
Well, suppose that all of these
statements were true. A greater
kentuckian than we once said II
would rather be right than be Presi
dent" We believe then that we
are right and we think so yet.
We believe that had Charles w
Fairbanks been elected President,
we would not have suffered the
panic in finances that we have en-
dured from the time President Taft
was elected.
But be that as it may, we have
always been loyal and supported
the nominee OF the party whether
we were for him before the nomna-
ton was made. Can you, Bro. Rees,
say as much for yourself?
But, who is this man 5. b. Rees,
that takes us so severely to task?
Is he the same S. b. Rees. whom Mr..
Edwards had appointed as a Cen
sus Enumeration in Knox county .
this wear without his having stood .
an examination as required by law,
ard who, after ne had gone over his
territory and made out what he con-
sidered his report, and the said re
port was forwarded 10 the District
Enumeration he refused to accept 1t
and the books were returned here
and one ". F. Parker spent some
two or three weeks, working upon
the report to get it in shape to pass
the officials.
This little appointment seems to
have so completely turned the heard
OF our distinguished exSheriff until
he seems to know nothing now
but Edwards.
1t is true that we were not in
Knox county at the time that Hig-
mite was appointed Superintendent
of Schools. but we have it from such
men as a !. Croley and w. K. Law,
our County Attorney, that they
went to Judge !. T. Wyatt and ask
d for the appointment of w. X.
Law. as Superintendent of Schools
and they were told then and there
Nv fudge Wyatt that he could not
make the appointment as he was
under promise to appoint n. G.
Hignite, that Caleb Powers had re
puested his appointment and he
could not refuse it.
Powers will have a safe majority
in the District however. no matter
II both ex- Sheriff Rees and NJ. G.
Hignite are opposing his nomiua- s
ton.

A Correction

Through our respect and es teem for Mrs. Hogan, who so earnestly and patiently assisted us in preparing and presenting the High School play at the ope- "a house on the night of January 20, and to counteract some per sonal criticism which she re- ceived, we, the pupils who were in the play, feel it our duty to make the following statement;
 Though some of the boys ap- peared in a clubhouse scene ap- parently smoking, it was not in accordance with the wish and exortation of Mrs. Hogan. She said, Boys and girls, we want to make the scenes natural, but | would rather not put on any thing that might give people room to say was a bad example. If there is anybody who does not want to set a bad example, l think I am that one.'
 When we afterwards met her in Gurdon to give the play there, she was almost moved to tears because there were two or three perhaps who thought she would set a bad example before the boys and girls of Prescott. We do this simply to remove the criticism from her, and say, as pupils who were in the play and heard and saw what she said and did, that we think such personal criticism unduly cast.
 Adopted by the pupils who were in the play.)

(. B. ANDREWS NOM-
 MATED FOR MAYOR

The popularity of the return to the convention method of se- lecting democratic nominees tor city officers was attested by the large crowd present at the opera house last night, at meeting called by the town central com mittee.
 R. l.. Blal1ely was made chair man of the meeting and T. R. Wright secretary.
 Secret ballot was the method adopted for voting. Each office was voted upon separately, the office of Mayor being the first one taken up, and c. B. Andrews was selected over M. w. Greeson by vote of 109 to 84.
 Walter Murrah defeated Sam Logan for recorder, and Wren Scott won over w. R. White, Jr., for treasurer.
 The biggest and closest con. test was over the office of mar shol, Glide Marsh, the present incumbent, defeating c. B. Moon constable of this township, by the vote of 95 to 91.
 The following aldermen were selected:
 Ward 1-Jno. A. Davis and M w. Greeson.
 Ward 2-R. l.. Blakely and S. T. White.
 Ward 3-R. P. Arnold and Ira Gee.
 Ward 4-H. E. Bemis and Dar Pittman.
 The central committee for the ensuing two years were chosen as follows-R. l.. Blakely, Johr Marr, Chas. F. Pittman, Guy N Garner and B. H. Logan.
 The meeting was very harmo, nious, and there was no friction and no complaints made at the fairness of the contests.
 c. B. Moon was among the first to congratulate Mr. Marsh upon his victory, and the ticket as nominated will receive the hearty support of the entire party.

Washington.-A former Chicago

nois girl, Is ruler over $4,000 semi
civilized and wild people in the Phil
lppines. He lives with them as
brother and master combined, who
rules them by the sheer force of his
personality and accomplishes in many
ways what host of the best trained
regulars could not accomplish.
First Lieut.. Edward Y Miller,
Twenty-ninth infantry, who is on de-
tached duty as governor of Palawan.

not West Pointer, he has spent COM
paratively little time with his brother
officers, knows little of the regiment
to which he is attached, and probably
would not have been heard of at this
