State Fair Huge Success.

The Virginia state fair came to a close
tonight, the most successful exhibition
given in Virginia. The attendance broke
all records for the entire week, day by
day. The main feature to many of the
visitors was the aeroplane flights by
Ralph tombstone, who used one of the
Wright brothers machines The attrac-
ton cost the fair management $1,000 for
the week, and it proved to be one of the
greatest drawing cards of the year. John
stone made several flights, going as high
as 100 feet and circling the rounds at
will.
Some of his feats in the air were re-
markable, and when he did the roller
coaster stunt many of the spectators
gaSped, shut their eyes and shuddered as
they contemplated seeing the man dash
ed to his death. On Wednesday ne took
Mayor Richardson up, and in some way
the mechanism got wrong and stopped
while they were some forty feet from
the ground. The machine came down with
a crash, but both Mayor Richardson and
tombstone escaped unhurt. The contract
called for sustained flights of ten min
utes. and Mr.. tombstone took good pains
to exceed the contract in each flight by
several minutes before he consented to
come down.
Another attraction was the booth of the
Equal Suffrage League. This booth was
one of the places which many Of the men
visited from sheer curiosity. Miss L.uns-
combe of Boston and Miss Leahy of Rich
mond were the speakers, and several
times each day they made addresses to
the men for Votes for Women And
some of the men signed the petition to the
governor asking him to invest them with
the right to vote.
For the visitors from other states the
miniature tobacco factory in full opera
tion with large block of factory hands
actually making tobacco. singing merry
songs after the fashion of negro tobacco
hands, proved most interesting The
negroes sang from early morn till the
day closed. The singing was very good
and large crowd was always on hand to
hear and to see them at work
Fighting Fertilizer Trust.
Virginia farmers are organized and will
make determined fight against the fer
tilizer trust. Last winter the farmers
supported a bill which had for its OBJ
ject the establishment of lime plant
by the state which would furnish agri-
cultural lime at cost. This was defeated
and the farmers are taking it on them
selves to relieve the situation.
They have raised 100000 with which
to begin operations, and they will have
in charge men who understand the oper-
atonS of such establishment. They
expect to save more than a third of the
cost of their fertilizers and will have ali
the lime they may need at what it costs
to produce. What is left after the stock

Reflections of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press.
a man can hardly ever fool a woman,
but she can do it herself.
There's nothing to make man so sure
a fault is lovable as to have it.
The way to get everybody you know
mighty fond of you In summer is to buy
a yacht.
If a woman had fifty husbands she
would feel it her duty to herself to try
to prove to her friends that each was
better than the other.
Nothing shocks girl of twenty SO
much as to think what If she were
thirty; nothing pleases a girl of thirty SO
much as to think she isn't thirty-one.

State Quarantine Abolished.

Beginning November l the state quar-

Norfolk will pass away. With the resle-
ma tion of DR.. Powhatan Schenck as quar-
antine officer for Norfolk some weeks
ago Gov Mann intimated that he wouio
not take up the naming of a successor
for some time to come. Since that Tune
be has not even considered the matter
and it is known that he has no idea Oh
gain having such an officer.
The quarantine has been in force TOT
some wears. 1t is in addition to the
quarantine maintained by the feoerai
government and entails more or less eX-
pense on vessels. 1t has served to pre-
vent many vessels from coming to Vlr-
yinia ports. An effort is now under way
TO have the federal government allow
vessels coming here from northern ports.

fected sections and gone to New YORK
or Boston and remained for several days,

ing to again go into quarantine.
