grounds were well policed at all times
in case that an emergency should arise
but, fortunately, there was little or no
demand for the services Of officers.
All these features struck the observer
forcibly, and many complimentary re-
marks were heard on the general evil
dences that the managers knew what
they were about in providing for the
convenience and safety of the public.
That these arrangements were not put
to the complete test by such huge
crowds as would have attended in case
the weather had been more favorable
was one regrettable fact in connection
with the fair. The attendance was dis
appointing, not because of any lack of
attraction, but solely because of weather
conditions which forbade general in
pouring of people. Therefore, in this
particular the state fair of 1912 will
have to 90 down as more or less of a
failure. May the weather be more pro-
pitious another year

City Council Accepts Part of the Streets
on Sunnyside Park

The city council had special session
last night to act on the acceptance of
streets at Sunnyside park, and after
considerable discussion part of the
streets Were accepted. The question
hinged mostly on the width of the
streets, as laid out, which is two rods,
while most of the council considered this
too narrow for hill street. When II
came to voting the laying of sewer and
water pipes, one alderman offered an
amendment, TO the effect that hereafter
one third the expense of such should
be paid by the landowners on either side
of the street and the other third by the
city. This has never been done and
called forth considerable discussion,
which resulted in the killing of the
amendment Edwin Andrews sought
damage from the city because of the

DEALERS LACK OF RESPONSIBLE
ITY,


If honesty isn't the best policy in the
opinion of some dealers in products,
those dealers are likely to find the error
of their thought quite Unexpectedly, The
state department of weights and meas
ures is doing a quiet but effective work
along the line OF protecting the purchas-
ling public, as prosecutions and conyic-
tions now and then serve to remind w.
IA dealer in Burlington, who recently
was fined for short measure and who had
his case reported, complained that no
mention was made of three former ocea-
sions, when his measures were examined
and found to be accurate. Those cases
were not given publicity probably be-
cause it was his moral and legal obliga.
Ition to give full measure, and it was only
when it was found that he broke that
legal obligation that it became necessary
to prosecute him. Honesty is the best
policy; and that policy includes the
testing Of ones scales and measures to
find out whether they are accurate, with
out waiting for some representative of
the state to come along and ascertain
that the scales and measures are ac-
curate or inaccurate. Then it isn't neces-
sary to bring the dealers before the pub
Pic by means of prosecutions, That fact
pa SO apparent that all dealers should
take notice before it is too late to escape
the unwelcome publicity.

GOOD MANAGEMENT AT STATE
FAIR,

The able management of the Vermont
state fair this week was revealed in
the excellent handling of the crowds
each day, there being little Of the aim
less efforts seen at some fairs which are

seemed to have made provisions for
nearly any contingency and to have been
prepared to meet every reasonable de.
mand of the public. There were accom-.

grounds until the time he departed. The
automobiists found themselves well
cared for in large parking space inside
the enclosure, where their machines could
be left without fear of their being tam
pered with; and the machines were ar
ranged in rows so that one whose ma
chine happened to be deep in the en-
closure did not have to wait hours before
he could drive out, as spaces were lett
between the rows. The train service was
good, so that visitors arriving by train
were brought directly to the grounds
and were enabled to board their trains
for home at the same place. Those
arriving by team also found reasonably
good accommodations. In addition, the
grounds were laid out in streets, so that
there was no bewilderment in getting
pbout and the streets were wide enough

CURRENT COMMENT
Hunters; Take Care.

That season has now come around
when the woods have particular attrac-
ton for those who hunt and, as in years
gone past, there are certain things that
have to be said all over again to those
who seek their recreation with their
guns on their shoulders In the first
place, the hunter has duty of life and
death to perform for himself and others.
ffhe should realize that he is in a strange
environment, that he is doing strange
thing and that others are in like stu
alton. If only one man should go into
the woods on a given day, everything
would be all right. This. lone hunter
could not shoot anyone else, neither
could he be shot by someone else. But
this can't be done. He is only one of
many and for this reason he should sur
round himself with every possible safe
guard. In Maine the order of the day
is to wear some garment that is In such
striking contrast with the surroundings
that there can be no mistaking of the
wearer for q deer or partridge. A red
coat and hat is good combination. And
there should be no shooting just for
the sake of hearing the gun go off. New
er shoot until you know what you are
shooting at and then you won't bring
down a two-legged instead of four
legged animal.
And another thing should be remem-
bered. These are the days of conserva-
tion of natural resources, among which
resources are the forests. Great care
should be exercised to make sure that
no forest fire is started by carelessness.
1t was only few years ago at a cor
responding time as now that it seemed
as if all New England were ablaze.
Smoke hung down on every side and tim
Der to the value of many hundreds of
thousands of dollars went in to make
that smoke. 1t will be impossible to
prevent all forest fires, but it is pos
sible to prevent all that have their origin
through carelessness. The hunters duty
to the state is the exercise of caution. -

BethePs town representative, Rev. j,

resolution authorizing the speaker of
the House to designate some clergyman
member to conduct devotional services

the Bethel man would be a natural
selection for good part of the time;
and doubtless other clergyman-mem

BOY GETS HEAVY DAMAGES.

Rock Hill, Dec. 16.-The case of
Walker Hayes VS.. the Manchester
Cotton Mills and the Southern Power
Company was tried in the York coun-
ty court Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday, being concluded Thursday
night, and Friday morning the jury
returned verdict of $4,166.67 against
each defendant, the plaintiff thus be-
ing awarded $8,333.34.
The plaintiff is an eight-year-old
boy, who, on November of last year,
was severely burned by touching a
high voltage wire in the transformer
house at the Manchester Mills. His
left arm had to be amputated below
the elbow as result of the injuries.
The boy, it is said, stuck his hand
through an open window at the sug-
gestion of one of his comrades. That
"open" window was probably the
strongest point of the plaintiffs at
torneys.

A Veteran Mason.
(Anderson Mail.)

Considerable notice is given in the
Associated Press dispatches this
morning to the fact that a Masonic
officer in Scranton, Pa, has been in
stalled for the 50th time. The fol-
lowing dispatches appear:
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 14.-What is
said to be worlds record for Mason
ic incumbency is established by the
installation of E. P. Kingsbury as
treasurer of Union lodge for the 5Oth
time. President Taft has sent him a
Letter of congratulations"
"Charleston, Dec. 14.-At the an
nual communication of Landmark
lodge, No. 76, William G. Mazyck was
installed for the 26th consecutive time
as secretary"
he record of the Scranton Mason
appears to have been so remarkable
that President Taft complimented
him. But there is one in South Caro-
lima who has grand lodge official
record for '55 years. This is the
modest and greatly beloved citizen of
Columbia, Charles Frank jackson.
Mr.. Jackson was born in 1881, began
his commercial life in Charleston in
1854 and in 1855 became master
Mason in Solomon lodge No. 1 in that
city. He has been Mason nearly So
years. He has taken every available
degree in Masonry and the boys got
him to go into the Shrine few years
ago. He has been treasurer of the
following Masonic bodies up to now:
Grand royal chapter of South Caro-
lima since 1858; grand council since
1870; union council since 1871; Co
lumbia commandery since 1875. Co
lumbia commandery has made him a
life member.

Brother Young was a faithful men,
