THE CHESTER EAIR.

The gates of the Chester County
Fair opened at $50 this morning, and
if the weather man will only be char
table, says the Lantern of yesterday,
the exhibition promises to be the best
Chester county has ever had.
A big bunch of racing stock has al
ready come in, and Is at the Wylie &
Anderson stable, while a lot more will
come in today, there being many en-
tries of speedy horses from Athens,
Augusta, Spartanburg, and other
points. Prof. Weeks of Clemson, will
judge the live stock, while Prof. Had
den, also Of Clemson, will appraise the
different points of merit of the many
different things included under the
head of Farm Products"
Judge" Miller of Rock Hill, will
award the ribbons among the poultry
exhibits. and the crowd itself will
judge the Midway, which will have six
teen different shows, including Wild
West, Plantation, Spectacular Moving
Pictures, etc. Mr. Westbrook, when
asked this morning, was unable to
guarantee positively that the fat wo-
man will be there, but the chances are
that she will, as well as the human
skeleton and our old friends the snake

men with the canes and pocket knives
stuck up in a board, and waiting for

Status Of the Market,-The weather

Status of the Market.-The weather
will keep the cotton market on the
anxious seat this week. The bulls hope
for frost and the bears hope 1t keeps
away. Much now depends on the date
Of the first killing frosts of the season.
There is a larger per centage Of plants
that would be severely damaged by
seasonably cold weather, while many
bolls will open If frost holds off for a
week or two longer.
Killing frost this week would give
the bulls a temporary advantage In
the market. Frost on the map any
morning of this week would cause a
quick squirt and heavy covering Of the
short interest. Continued bright and
warm weather would result in steady
selling pressure from the shorts, who
already are convinced that this crop
Is we'll up toward the 100000 bale
mark.
The census bureau will issue a re-
port on the ginning Of the crop up to
last Thursday, on Friday Of this week.
This report will probably cause some
selling, for it is to be bearish, al
though the trade has paid no great
amount Of attention to 1t as yet. 1t will
have to take some interest In 1t this
week and probably will.
War news and reports concerning
the spot demand will be influences that
have possibilities in them, but either
would probably not have much weight
against strong weather developments.

for farmers" was advocated by B. F.
Yokum at Dallas, Texas, last Saturday,
in an address before the convention Of
growers. 81 talked on
the subject Of a national market bu-
reau with Governor Wilson, both as to
it's importance and necessity, and he is
heartily in favor of it's creation on
broad and comprehensive lines, and is
ready to join in pushing it through" 1t
costs the farmers Of this country, Mr..
Yokum said, something like s510,000,-
900 annually in interest on their loans,
which is s200,000,000 more than 1t
should be. He gave an instance of
carload of watermelons in Oklahoma
which he said the farmers sold for five
cents a piece, though in Minnesota
those melons retailed for fifty to sixty
cents a piece. The buyer, Mr.. Yokum
said, told the farmer that he could not
pay him much because Of excessive
railroad freight. which the speaker de-
clared was untrue, because the rail-
road freight on that car was seven and
one-half cents per melon. "The time Is
passing" said he, when men can sat-
isfy the producer by loose and reckless
statements about freight rates or about
borrowing rates on mortgages"

The New York Herald's straw poll
has Wilson leading in twenty-seven
out Of thirty-two states, Roosevelt in
four and Taft in one. Roosevelt is de-
scribed as gaining in Illinois where
he has been leading all along and as
holding his own in practically all Of the
states where he led last week. Wilson
is representing as gaining only slightly
because with such flying start as he
had there was not so much room for
gains. According to the Herald's poll,
there appears to have set in an under
current for Taft that has not been no
ticeable heretofore; but which the Her
aid does not consider as especially sig
nificant.

Naturally there Is more or less spec
ulation as to the probable effect of
John Schrank's bullet on Roosevelt's
vote. That the American people are
sentimental is generally admitted;
all civilized people are sentimental
And to argue that this shooting Incl
dent will have no effect on the vote is
more or less absurd. 1t will af-
feet the vote in the west, in the east
and possibly in the south; but less in
the south than elsewhere. Some think
the hundreds of thousands of votes will
be changed; but as to that there is no
telling. 1t is only reasonably safe to
say that many people who previously
had no idea of voting for the colonel
will be drawn to him as the result OF
his conduct in connection with that
cowardly bullet.

After giving an account of the coart
proceedings at Dillon a few days ago,
the correspondent Of the News and
Courier went on to say:
This is the first court held in the
new court house, and 1t Is the verdict
Of everyone that it is gem. One hun
dred and five thousand dollars ought to
give something to be proud Of, and
coming generations will commend the
wisdom Of its projectors. Brick, stone,
concrete and marble have been assem-
bled in a magnificent structure, in
classic proportions, that would arrest
attention in any city in the United
States, and 1t is as nearly fire-proof
as modern architecture can devise.

While we are not going to claim that
we especially favor that law which
makes a newspaper turn it's business
wrong side out for the inspection Of
the public still it will have to be ad-
Initted that most newspapers claim
the right to exercise their own discre-
tion as to what they shall print and
what they shall not print and from
this standpoint it does not look alto
gether unreasonable that congress
should make them tell a few things
about their own business affairs.

We predict that If the court house
bond proposition does not carry, many
of those who will have voted against it
will have occasion to wish they had
voted otherwise. This prediction is
based solely on the belief that the erec-
ton of the proposed new court house
is the part of wisdom and good judg-
ment and the fact will be emphasized
more and more as time goes on.

Tom Watson is said to have bolted
Governor Wilson and to be urging his
friends to vote against the Democratic
candidate because he is too open
minded and friendly toward the Cath
olic church. Thomas himself hates the
Catholic church worse than any other
institution known to present day civil
ization. But the story is that friends
of Watson who have heretofore follow
ed him wherever he has chosen to lead
will not follow him against Wilson.

national organization of street railway

will not recognize this Amalgamated

seems to be no other way to secure a

of course the longer the fight lasts the

Gen. Beltran's forces were about ten
miles from town. A possible element
Of trouble is the issue of decree by
the government officer in charge of

drag the United States navy into the

In regarding the port as closed and re-

1t would be a great thing for York
county if there could be a practically
unanimous vote in favor of those pro-
posed court house bonds. 1t would set

there would be less talk of eastern

The next general assembly cannot do
better thing than to adopt the Tor
rens land title system for South Caro-
lima. The practicability of the system
has been thoroughly and completely
tested, and it is proper that this state
should be among the leaders in its
adoption. AS to what the attitude Of
Governor Blease will be to this ques-
ton, cannot be anticipated; but 1t will
probably be remembered that during
the recent campaign when the Torrens
system was put forward as live is
sue, the governor did not offer any OBJ
lection.

one eyed hippopotamus of limping

though it be a bit wicked. But after
all it will have to be admitted that the
colonel made very little fuss over that
bullet Also the facts in the case seem
to suggest that if the next crank would
make sure of his man he had better
use a thrteen-inch gun.

We refuse absolutely to believe that
the voters do not know what they are
doing, and to such would-be statesmen
as happen to have such an idea, we
suggest that they get down a little

carefully. 1t is quite probable that If
there is any serious fault anywhere, it
is not with the people.

We know very little about the mer-

to get rid of the idea that the strikers
are always wrong, and remember that
there are two sides to such questions.
The principal issue in this particular
case as we understand it. is not so
much a question of wages or hours of
work as it is a question of recognition

LIFE POSSIBLE
SANS MICROBES

PARIS, France, February l5.-'ls
life without microbes possible?' This
question, which was asked in 1885 by
the eminent bacteriologist and chem
list, p. Louis Pasteur, seems at last
to have been answered in the affirm
alive, or at least partly so. DR. e.
Roux, director of the Pasteur insti-
tute in this city, in a communication
to the Academy of Sciences, has out
lined the researches made by young
DR.. Michel Cohendy with the aid of
an apparatus almost as marvellous as
the result itself.
. BY means of this invention DR. Co
hendy was enabled to hatch and raise
chickens under perfectly sterilized con
ditions and an examination of their
stomachs and intestines after several
weeks growth did not show microbe
The apparatus is made of glass and
metal. Four eggs with carefully ster
ilized shells were placed inside and
allowed to hatch. The young birds
found at their disposal an abundance
of light, air, water and food, all ster
ilized by ingenious processes.
Growth of the chickens appeared tC
be perfectly normal until at the enc
of several weeks it was found tha
they were too large for their cage,
few hours after entering normal life
they were found to be permeated b!
millions of microbes, like the ordinar!
barnyard product. The extremely ny
gienic conditions under which they en-
tered life did not seem to affect thu
later development of those that wer'
allowed to live. The conclusion az
pears to be that life without microbe
is possible, but that it makes no dill
ference in the end.

POPE sARs Low.NecKED DRESS

ROME, Italy, February l5.-Low-

affairs at which cardinals are pres

x, who has taken the matter up seri-
ously Ordinary etiquette at the Vati-
can excludes low cut dresses, but VIC
llations of the rule are frequent. In
some instances women have tried to
evade the rule by wearing thin scarfs
or wells, but even these subterfuges
have been abandoned at affairs at
tended by prelates.
Pope Plus, while broadminded, de-
Iplores what he terms the sin of fem
linine vanity and has instructed the
Ipapal secretary of state, Cardinal
Merry del Val, to notify the sacred
college that cardinals are expected in
the future personally to ascertain
whether low cut gowns are likely to
Iappear at amy dinner, reception OF
lother entertainment where they are
