FAIR AT TUSCUMBIA
 A GREAT SUCCESS
Management of Colbert Fair Highly plimented-Vari0us Prizes
 Are Awarded

Tuscumbia, October 7.--(Special)- The second annual fair, held by the Colbert County association, came to a close Saturday night. It was a bril- liant success throughout and the man. agement has been highly compliment ed on the completeness of every de- tail. The baby show, as usual, was an interesting feature. For the finest baby under I year old, the judges awarded the prize to the baby of MT. land Mrs. II. H. Burt of Sheffield. For the finest boy over l and under 3 years, the prize was awarded to the child of Manly Weaver. Jr., son of Mrs. Pearl Weaver of Sheffield. Prettiest girl of the same class was given to the child of MT. and Mrs Fred Hurston of Decatur. The most beautifully decor ated baby carriage receiving the prize was prepared by Mrs. R. P. Potts of Sheffield.
 The stick horse parade was a new in- stituton, and was regarded as one of the finest features of the entire fair. One
 hundred children in fantastic costumes passed in review before the judges stand, and many were vociferously cheered. The prizes were awarded to the Gold Dust
 Twins, Mir. and Mrs. Tom Thumb, the Teddy Bear, Flower Girl the Butterfly the American Beauty Rose and Two Lit tie Fairies. Many prizes in the riding contests were won by young ladies from Florence.
 The racing was never better. and bar ring the sad accident which resulted in the death of the two parties. which threw a damper over the entire fair, the re- mainder was a complete success.
 II. Perry, one of the successful mer- chants of this place, has returned from Baltimore where he underwent very complicated but successful operation, and is now at home recuperating.

Sulzer Nationally Prominent

Mir. Sulzer's prominence as chairman Of the committee on foreign affairs has made him nationally prominent. He is a fine stump speaker and Is better known to the voters than any man in New York. He was strong in his advocacy of two battleships in the recent fight in the House over naval appropriations. and that is strong issue in the Empire state. and he may be depended upon in making the most of 1t.
 The nomination of Sulzer, in the opinion of politicians of all faiths in Washing ton, decidedly increased the odds in favor of the democrats capturing the state for both the state and national tickets.
 Anyway. the state is expected to be . great battle-ground during the present month, and orators from every quar- ter of the country will make the esteemed welkin ring in that section. It is said that Oscar Underwood will close his speaking tour in New York, where he is a great favorite. and 1t is believed that he will be potent factor in the grand finale of delivering to the sage of Princeton New Yorks contribution of 45 electoral votes. which every one freely admits will help some.

He was my personal friend l remember very well case which we argued upon opposing sides in the supreme court of the United States. It was my first case before that court. It was his sec ond case. We were both very much depressed and disappointed in the ar guments that we had made, and were sitting Tn the Senate restaurant, he trying to console me and l trying to console him. A messenger boy came in and delivered to us a note from Mr. Justice Lamar, in which the justice re- marked: As the only southern repre- sentative upon the bench it affords me great deal of pleasure to say to both of you gentlemen that the differ ent members of the bench are speaking in the highest terms of the ability of the argument of the case just concluded upon both sides thereupon remarked.

 ''I have said that I am deeply grati- fled by the approval with which my ap- pointment has been received by the press, by the bar and by the people. I am more pleased. however, by the approval with which the appointment has been received by the bar. For 34 years that has been the field of my activities, and it Is deeply gratifying to me to find even those op- posing me in the practice expressing ap- proval of my appointment, and wishing me success upon the bench in case l should accept the appointment.
 When I think of the noble profession to which I belong, when I think of the great names which must be included upon it's honor rol and of the unselfish devotion with which they have conse- crated great talents to the service of their clients, 1t kindles me with enthusi- asm, and I cannot refuse to agree with DeTocqueville, in the high tribute which he pays in his Democracy in America to our professions but when I remember the disadvantages under which I com menced life myself, and see another young lawyer just entering upon the arduous contest, I recall that eloquent expression of Curran, the Great Irish orator, who said:

Anniston, OctobersT. T.--( (Special.) )-John B. Knox. the prominent Anniston attorney, who declined the appointment of Govern or O'Neal to a position on the Alabama supreme court to succeed the late R. T. Simpson, is pleased with the appointment of Judge E. D. de Graffenreid of the ap- pellate court to the position. When seen in regard to his reasons for declining to accept the appointment. MT. Knox gave out the following statement:
 'I regret very much that I am unable to see my way clear 10 accept the posi- ton which has been offered me on the supreme court bench of the state of Ala bama. I confess there are many con- alterations which would incline me to ac- cept it, but. after careful and full consideration. I am unable to bring my self to believe that I should do so. Of course. I regret the publication of what purported to be my acceptance when, in fact, I had never accepted; but for this am in no sense responsible.
 T am deeply gratified, however, at the practical unanimity with which my ap- pointment has been received by the press by the bar, and by the people. If were addressing myself to the bar, as to a certain extent I am, there are some things known to them which are not gen. erally known to the public. Perhaps l might state it in this way No matter how successful lawyer may be, no mat ter how many great cases he may have tried. his greatest efforts are made before very small audience. There is the judge on the bench, the jury in the box the opposing counsel, with few strag- gling auditors who may be present for one reason or another.
 This explains why, in our mother coun- try, the natural aspiration of a success ful lawyer is either a career on the bench or career in parliament, and why, in this country. where we inherit all of our best traditions from the mother country, the successful lawyer is disposed to go upon the bench or seek a public career
 I am thinking just now of John A. El- more of past generation, and of Henry c. Tonlpkins of our own generation, two of the ablest lawyers our state has pro- duced
 Neither of them was called to any important public service, and many not acquainted with their services at the bar might be disposed to think that neither of them has left any perma- nent footprints upon the sands of time
