Fraud Paint.

The worst mistake one is likely to
make In painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make this year when paint is so
high.
We all say "Oufs is the best; and
there are 1000 of US. One is best;
but dozen are so near on a level that
no one knows, for sure, that his Is the
one.
The worst paints are worse liars; they
know what they are, put-on bold face.
and brazen it out.
Their one true argument is low price;
but low-price paint is always, must be.
fraud; it is made to cheat cheatable
people.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MEETING.
Preparations Are Being Made For The Great
est Exhibition In The History of The As
SOcatiOn-September 17-19 the Dates


The executive committee of the Taze-
well Fair Association held a meeting in
the Office Of the secretary on Monday
night and took steps to make the fair,
to be held September 18th, 18th and
18th, bigger and better than ever.
The first thing decided on by the com
mlttee was to abide by the action of the
Virginia, Carolinss and Georgia Circuit
OF Fairs, TO declare all stake races to 90
regardless of the number of entries it
being the concensus of opinion that such
action would bring US better races, as
the foreign stables would arrange to
bring their string of horses here, if as
sured the races would not be Cancelled
on account of not enough entries. The
secretary read q protest against this
condition from the secretary of the Au-
gusts, (Ga.,) Fair Association, but the
sentiment of the Association here was
to sustain action of the president. Ma
Jor Samuel Walton, of Falls Mills. who,
at a recent meeting of the secretaries
of the circuit. insisted this was the best
way TO secure good racing in this sec
tion.
The questions of attractions. adver-
tising and arrangement of displays were
discussed and it was agreed to take Wig
orous action action to make the displays
IN ali departments the best ever seen on
the local grounds.
The question of a ChilIren's Depart-
ment was discussed at length but de-
cided not to make a separate depart
ment for them now, but arrange for
special premiums in the various depart
ment to be accorded to children, under
sixteen years of age, who would submit
specimens of their own work for COM
petition, among themselves and not to
be judged by the standards adopted for
judging the work of adults in the same
departments.
Il was also decided. so far as could be
done, 70 secure specialists in the various
departments to act as judges to insure
fair, impartial and just judgment of
the exhibits Arrangements were made
for the paying of the expenses of
judges, superintendents and their assist
ants and for this amount to be sufficient
to cover the paying of the way of these
officers into the grounds as it was the
intention to cut down the pass system
to a minimum.
The following were appointed ss su-
perintendents of the various depart
ments:
Horses and Track, c. J. Moss; Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs, John Gose; Aericult-
ure, J A. Leslie; Poultry, A. S. Gree
yer; Minerals and Timber, ]. n. Har-
man; Entomology, DR.. Isaac Peirce;
Domestic, Mrs. L. A. Tynes; Needle
work, Mrs Isaac Peirce with Mrs. H
c. Pobst as assistant.
DR.. R. F. COpenhaver was appointed
marshal; Fred Steel in charge of assign
ment of stalls. and W. G. O'Brien as
assistant secretary.
The meeting was full of enthusiasm,
and each one felt that Tazewen was the
best county in the state and deserving
of the very best fair and left with the
determination that each individual of
the committee would use their utmost
endesvor to see that it had such fair.

Defendant Appears in Court Room Smiling-All of His
 Family With Him.
HE RESEMBLES GRANT
Striking Resemblance to Famous Sol. dier-AnOther Venire May
 Re Summoned.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 5.-There was standing room only this morning i'll criminal court when J. J. Hughes, Il wealthy Arkansas planter, was called to answer the charge of murdering Tommy Dolan, ex-jockey, last year. Hughes remained in the sweat box from the time he arrived from Jail until his case was called. Arraign- ment of prisoners for petty offenses occupied the time of the court until ii o'clock. Hughes, who came into the court smiling, saluted the counsel with a wave of his hand and sat be- side his daughter, Miss Nina Huenes. Next to Miss Hughes sat her mother. wife of the defendant. On Mrs. Hughes left sat niece, Miss Willie Andrews, next to her was Juhn j.. Hughes Jr., a clean cut young chap in his early twenties. The defend- ant embraced and kissed the femin- inc members of the family.
 Hughes looked like General U. $. Grant, if the latter's biographers are to be believed, or like Andrew Car. negie. His beard, grown since his first incarceration, has increased plentifully with gray and short tufts. He wore a black suit, spotless white linen, and a low cut collar, set off with narrow black stripe. Hughes is an older, different looking man, more serious, than the alcoholic shaken man, who, with bleared eyes, faced a lower court the days following Tom my Dolan's death.
 An imposing array of counsel fac l ed trial Judge Edgington. For the defense are General Malcolm R. Pat terson. Robert E. Prescott M. c. Nor l fleet and Buford Richards. The state is represented by Attorney General
 Edwards, and his first assistant, Will. liam R. Harrison. Ranged behine
 them John Harris and J. N. Lewis t
 work up the evidence to be offered b!
 the state. Lewis was retained by th'
 Dolan family as a special counsel fol the prosecution.
 The special venire of POI was sum
 moned by the sheriff. A number fail
 ed to answer their names when call
 ed in court. From the list it is De
 lieved that another special venire vii
 be necessary. and that the collection
 of the jury will occupy several days.

VOTE WOULD HAVE JOL7EO ROOSEVELT House Refuses To Give An Expression of the Stay
 den Resolution. ACREAGE MEASURE Senator Wiilf tms,. of Mississippi, and Hepburn, of Idaho, Lock
 Horns Over Civil War.
ACREAGE MEASURE

Washington, D. C., Feb. 5.-The House today sidestepped the vote on the Slayden resolution, thought to be directed at Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, which declares against 6 third term for any president Later attempts to call up the resolution under suspension of the rules failed by vote of 90 to 51 without "a roll call.
 Various reasons are assigned for the action of the House. It is re- ported that the Democrats got wind of the plot on .the rpart of the Re- publicans to vote present when the. resolution was put on its passage This would have meant the adoption of the resolution by the Democratic votes alone and would have created a suspicion that the Democrats were afraid of the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt. Many Democrats voted against taking up the resolution and a few Republicans, including Repre- ,sentatives Cannon, Mccall and Bing- ham, voted to consider it.
 i Among the bills passed was the Lever Measure requiring that re- ports of the Department of Agricul- ture on crop acreage should be made on January 1 instead of June 1, az heretofore. The reason for the change is the abandonment n June of from three to six per cent of the cotton acreage which could not be shown in a report made June 1.
 In addition to fixing March 5 as the date for consideration of the arbitration treaty between the Unit ed States, France and Great Britain. the Senate did little but listen while Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, condemn ed all measures intended to do honor to the slain dead of the Civil War.
 John Sharp Williams, of Missis sippi, who advocated the passage CT Ia bill to erect monument to the Confederate sailors in the 4attle of Vicksburg, which brought forth Hey burns speech, was at first inclined
 O make little of the Idaho .senator's declaration that sectional feeling is 'ar from dead. Later after Hepburn had declared that the bill was fred with the bloody sentiment that actu- ated those men who seek to dip their hands in the treasury of the United States as though it had lbe1n under the dripping, gaping woundsI6 the patriots of the north," Williams got into action. It was necessary for Vice President Sherman to rap for l order several times when Williams scored on his opponent. In conclud- ! ing his talk the Mississippian said:
 "I have no doubt that if you, Sen l ator, had been old enough to have
 been in the war the results would
 have been quite different. be
 lieve it is true, especially if they
 allowed you to debate the matter and
 place the cause on the calendar. Il Iwould at least have taken some tim: to overcome the Senator from Ida
 ho."
 A call for regular order made b!
 Senator Gallinger ended the debat'
 and sent the bill over.
