THE TAZEWELL FAIR.
immense Crowd Present on Last Day When
Double Program Was Given.

The ninth annual meet of the Taze-
well Fair which closed on last Thusday
was one of the most successful in the
history of the Association.
The rain on Wednesday made it nee
essary to postpone most of the events
scheduled for that day until Thursday,
and as result the patrons on the last
day were treated to two days program
crowded into one.
Inc racing program was particularly
good-the best, perhaps, ever seen on
the local grounds. The winners were:
2:25 stake pace, "Are EN- Be-" 2:3O:
stake trot, Senator Martin; 2:24
trot, "Bennie Boy" Miss Catawba"
won the running race.in dashing finish.
Much interest was taken in the dis
play of live stock. The blue ribbon

parrment follow.

There were so many awards in the
agricultural, domestic, fancy work and
poultry departments that it would be
impossible to give them ALL The dis
plays in all departments, except cattle,
were very creditable, but should in a
rich agricultural county like Tazewell
be much better.
One of the most interesting displays
at the fair was that in the department
of entomology, consisting of carefully
selected specimens of not only insects
Injurious to but beneficial to the farm
er. DR.. Isaac Pierce, who had this de-
partment in charge, was present and
ready st all times to advise how to get
rid of the injurious insects and to culti-
vate those beneficial to plant life. This
department alone was worth every
farmer or fruit growers time to visit
and study the specimens therein shown.
The management have already laid
plans for bigger and better fair in

ment from a small scrap Of paper, with
the announcement that it contained all

sue Colonel Roosevelt for libel?" he
was asked.
"I said nothing of the kind" he re-
piled.

MI Archbold.
Mr.. Archbold added that VI. F. Ell

be done. lie denied that he had de-
scribed the Standard OIL officials as
being scared to death. He wasn't [

From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Aug 2i-The second ses-
sion OF the SD Congress was one OF the
most extraordinary farce comedies that
has ever been played Oh the legislative
stage OF the nation.
Careers OF aspiring leaders who have
! founded their hopes on the outcome Of its
activities have been made and unmade.
Legislation framed 10 conform 10 political
exigencies has been juggled nimby from
house TO house, and from Congress TO the
| White House. as evidence OF the great
purposes OF the Democratic party Floods
Of campaign oratory have been poured
into The Congressional Record" making
IL bulkier than The Record OF any pre-
ceding session OF Congress. Democratic
committees in the House Of Representa-
tives have plunged into carnival OF in
vestigation. seeking out exploded scan
dals and rummaginG ancient records. IN
the hope Of casting discredit on the Re-
publican party. Political promises have
rippled from the lips OF innumerable
spokesfhen for one or another party. But
the real record OF the session is written
| in so small number Of important laws
that they can be counted on the fingers
of two hands
In the House the Democratic party,
which had come into power al the begin
/ ming Of the Congress for the first time in
sixteen years. controlled the legislative
machinery and framed it's policies with a
free hand. sustained D. an ample and
obedient majority In the Senate the Re-
publican majority was cut down 20 such
an extent that the Democrats. by a coali-
| ton with the insurgents. were often able
10 achieve their purposes. The dsor-
ganized condition OF the upper house and
the fact that neither party was in abso-
lutte control brought about a lack OF re-
sponsibity an indehnteness OF aim. that
mads 1t almost impossible TO consider
! legislation with the single purpose Of pro-
noting the public welfare This condi-
| ton prevailed IN the Senate throughout
the session. resulting In a deadlock which
prevented the election Of President pro
tempore except for a few days al d time
