HELD HOT SESSION
President NOyes and Secretary
Farnsworth ut Swords Points Over
Bills Paid BY Former-Completc
Change in List of Officers for Next

Rutland, Jan. 5.--At a stormy meet
ing of the stockholders of the Rut-
land County Agricultural Society to-
day, the biggest shake-up in the his
tory of the organization came with
the ousting of nearly every import
ant officer and the election of new
ones, as well as changes in the
boards of directors and trustees.
warm controversy between Pres
ident H. F. Noyes and Secretary W..
X. Farnsworth lent considerable zest
to the proceedings, Farnsworth de-
claring that Noyes had been paying
bills never approved by the serce-
tary President Noyes, however
showed the bills with Farnsworths
signature attached. Farnsworth
maintained that he never had seen
several bills drawn by Mr.. Noyes on
the society and it developed that the
society owes Farnsworth $3.50 in
back pay, the debt beginning in 1907.
President Noyes read long report
telling of improvements at the fair
grounds and said that he dug into"
his pocket to help pay the bills there
for to the extent of $964.41. This he
explained, he later withdrew from the
treasury He thought that not enough
money was received from the horse
races to warrant large purses.
The officers elected are: Presi-
dent, w. F. Carter, of Pittsford;
vice presidents, F. NJ. Wilson, of Rut-
land R. f. Mead of West Rutland; ;
secretary, w. X. Farnsworth; treas
urer, w. L. Davis; auditors, F. A.
Field, F. O. Dunton, w. r. Kinsman;
trustees, President Carter, George S.
Haley and w. H. Spaulding, all of
Rutland.

JAIL LABOR EARNINGS.
Orange County Sends $i50.S9 Pro-
fit to State Treasurer.

Chelsea, Jan. 3.--B. H Aadms, Jr.,
jailer of the Orange county jail has
today forwarded to the State Treas
urer a check for the balance due the
State of Vermont from the earnings
of the convict laborers for this coun-
ty. The total paid the State for the
year ending Dec. 31st, 1909, was $450.-
80, which makes a good showing for
the efficiency of the jaier and prison
board, when compared with the re-
suits in other counties. During the
year there have been in all 76 COM
mitments to Jail on criminal process,
as follows: Intoxication, Sc; vag-
rancy, IS; breach of the peace, 6; as
sault, A adultery, 4 furnishing, l;
larceny, 8; burglary /; horse steal
ing, 1; cruelty to animals, 2.
OF this number { n were not sub
ject to the prison Dor law, being
held to await trial and several OF
the tramps We're physically unfit to
work During a part of the time, too,
a portion of the prisoners were trans.
ferred to the Washington county jail,
owing to the repairs being made upon
~ one.
The system employed has been to
hire out the men for as much as
possible and give the men their
earnings above one dollar a day
Some men have earned as high n
SIZE a day under this method and il
has reuslted in better satisfaction
and better work.
