Chesterfield county will hold a fair
October "a, the idea having been orig
mated a few weeks ago. when the
Mechanics and Merchants Bank of
South Richmond made proposition
to offer $3.50 In gold for corn prize.
This proposition was reached after a
conference between Senator j. 3. Wat
kips, of Chesterfield, and the president
Of the bank.
A committee OF SIX members, ono
from each of the magisterial dis
tricts, was appointed as follows: j.
b.. Watkins, from Midlothian District;
Howard Swineford, Dale; r. +. Wood
fin. Manchester; Walter Burgess, Ber-
.muda: ". =. GILL Matoaca. and
Charles Gill, Cloverhill.
The $3.50 offered by the Mechanics
and Merchants Bank will be divided
as follows: Fifty dollars for best five
acres os corn grown on lowland and
SIS for second: $50 for best five acres
of corn grown on high land and $50
each for the five next best results
from high ground culture, making in
all eight premiums.
Major T. O. Sandy. who has charge
of the boys demonstration work, has
promised to be with the Chesterfield
boys during the time OF the compe-
tition. Superintendent j. D. Eggleston.
Jr.. of the Department of Public In
struction will also be present. and
will explain TO the boy competitors
why it is as necessary to learn agri-
culture as grammar and arithmetic.

The Southern Tobacco Journal (Edi-
tor Webb's paper) comments on the
above as follows:
and that is Just one of the reasons
why, If Richmond is to have a tobacco
exposition. 1t must be made a mighty
big affair. Anything else than the
biggest kind of tobacco show held
in Richmond would be necessarily
dwarfed and made to appear small in
comparison with the working exhibit
of activity in the tobacco industry
that is on view in Richmond fifty
two weeks In the year.
IF tobacco exposition is to be
attempted anywhere in the United
States in the immediate future Rich
mond would seem by all odds the mos
likely place in which to hold such an
event; but the people in Richmond
arc perfectly right in saying that If
show is to be held there it must
be carried out upon lines that will
make 1t really worth while"
What says the Chamber OF Com

Washington. D. c.. May 2s.-Ex-
President Roosevelt has written a let
ter from London to Hamilton Fish, Re-
publican Insurgcnt member OF the
House OF Representatives requesting the
lattcr to meet him IN a conference as
soon after the cx-President's arrival
in New York on June Is as possible.
Colonel Roosevelts letter indicates that
he is DESTROYS Of learning the Insur-
gent situation In the House from first
hand as soon MS possible after his re-
turn to this country. MIR. Fish at first
declined to allow the use of
his name in connection with 1t,
as he said it might prove embarrassing
for both Colonel Roosevelt and himself
II made known at this time. He did,
however show the letter 10 one or
two persons, with the injunction tina,
they should not disclose It's text.
1t Is known that there has been an
interchange of letters between this
member and tho ex-President since the
latter's arrival in Europe. The Insur-
gent Is longtime personal friend of
Colonel Roosevelt, and for that reason
has not hesita:ed about advising the
ex-Prcsident unreservedly about the
various political events which have
TRANSFERRED since Colonel Roosevelt's
departure for Africa year ago.
In response to Colonel Eoosevelt's
message the 1nsurgent member has
made hotel reservation In New York
for June g. This member expressed no
doubt whatever that Colonel Roose-
welt would support the cause of the
House Insurgents, and prophesied that
he would be found making a few
speeches this fall in the districts rep
resented by Insurgents who might be
in danger of defeat.
Whatever else may have been
charged" said the member. "Mr. Roose-
welt has never been accused, of ingrati
tude towards his friends"
Insurgents in the House to-day were
inclined to attach special significance
to the fact that Colonel Roosevelt had
accepted an invitation to be the guest
of honor at dinner to be given in
New York Jupe % by Robert Collier,
publisher of Golfers Weekly. The
prominent part taken by that publ
cation in the prosecution" of Score
tary Ballinser was commented upon
in connection with the news that
Colonel Roosevelt was to be entertained
by the publisher
