BRINGING THEM BACK.

Sheriff Fraser's Activity in bring
ing back to Cairo men accused oil
homicide calls for hearty commen-
dation from all friends of law and
order in the community, II was
laxity in this respect, on the part OF
former sheriffs, which contributed
materially to the steadily growing
recklessness of "gun-toters," and ran
up the list of killings and attempted
killings In the city alarmingly.
The apprehension of Jim White
and of the negro who attempted TO
Kill Mexican Tom" after they had
come to consider themselves safe
against pursuit from Cairo, are incl
dents in line with the general CON
duct ofthe sheriff's Office in such
cases. since Mr. Fraser has held it,
conduct which gives strong guaran-
tee Of protection TO the community
and OF menace TO the lawlessiy in
elined.
There are those, 10 be sure. who
will complain that 1t costs money
to catch and try offenders: that. hav-
ing gotten rid Of them, II would be
better 10 let them stay where they
are saving Of money and of
trouble, This is the mercenary view;
the. view of those who do not see
beyond their noses, nor think be-
yond their pocket books, and TO
whom law and government are
troublesome adjunets OF community
life, somewhat in the nature of "nec-
essary evils, which ought to be
embed, SO that people da as they
please.
Happily Sheriff Fraser does not
take this view, and happily also, he
and the city authorities are cooper
ating heartily in efforts to make
men respect the law and its officers,
and to give the community good
government Chief Egan also has
had several cases to his credit lately.

between communities In order that
all may be protected.

OHIO RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

The next meeting OF the Ohio Val
ley Improvement Association Will be
held Sept. at Cincinnati, II was
to have been held in Cairo, hut II
has been deemed advisable to hold ii
In the larger city because II is more
centrally located Commenting
upon the coming meeting the Cour-
ier-Journal of Louisville says;
''It is important that the Ohio
Valley improvement Association
should be maintained as virile or
ganization and should keep up the
excellent work ii has been doing for
SO many years in the interest OF
river Improvement. The recent Con-
gressional excursion down the Ohio
while disappointing in some particu-
ars to all persons concerned, was OF
treat value, since it demonstrated
20 the travelling statesmen the diff
,ulties OF navigating the Ohio river
n the low water season. III also
showed the betterment of conditions
that has been brought about on
those sections of the big waterway
where the Government dams have
been completed A few at least, OF
the members of Congress have had
an object lesson that will undoubt-
eddy hasten the day of all-the-year-
around navigation. In the mean
time there is still a wide field for
the endeavors of the Ohio Valley
improvement Association, and the
cities and towns that have been
sending delegates to its annual con-
yocations should not weary in well
doing. Measurable progress is be-
ing made toward the nine-foo stage
and every citizen of the Ohio valley
should be interested in accelerating
that progress.

cess last year and there were many
people up and down the westside
who said that if it only lasted two
days they would get there. So, this
year two days it is to be, and they
will be full days, for number of
new features have been added to
the program. The same officers are
in command and that means sue
cess and progress.
Plans are on foot for incorpora-
tion. A permanent and commodious
building is to be erected by the as
sociation at Bussey Park, the beau
tiful grounds put at the service of
the association by Mr.. J. M. Bus
sey the father and vice president of
the fair.
To prove that this fair has got
into the line of regular and come-to.

made that Commissioner of Agri.
culture Col. E. J. Watson is to be
present and speak on Friday, No
vember the 18th, the second day of
the fair. Other speakers will proba-
bly, be heard on both the first and
second days. Last year Clemson col
lege sent some of her experts to do
the Judging and she promises us
much this year and will probably
do more.
An important new feature this
year will be Judging contests of
corn and live stock made by boys
under the direction of these Glenn
son experts.
The premiums this year are sew
eral times as valuable as those of
last year and much of the money is
already in hand. A novelty in prizes
is the distribution Of a ton of Thorn
as Stag and "a ton of nitrate of soda
in 100 and 900 pound lots as spremi-
sums for corn products.
1t is expected that a fine show
will be made of farm machinery.
