COLORED COUNTY FAIR

A colored county fair at Denmark
November 18th, 18th, 14th and 18th,
1913. This will be the sixth annual
fair of the Bamberg County Fair AS
ISOLATION
The object of the Association is to
stimulate our people to a greater in
tGrest in agricultural, mechanical
and other vocational pursuits and
thereby in tangible way lead them
to labor for the things pertaining to
the higher side of life.
The Association has purchased ten
acres of land out from Denmark for
Fair purposes and are erecting there
on an exhibit building thirty by
seventy-five feet. This of course
brings upon US pretty fair expense.
This we are hopeful of meeting by
the strong aid of our white friends,
who have always aided us in this
great industrial uplift.

New York, Nov. 1.-The ordinary
routine of the all-night court was
broken early today when one of sew

of intoxication begged to be excused
because his drunkenness was part of
a scientific experiment he was max

The prisoner was George L. Dol

Il have been a student of alcoholism
for the past twenty years." he told
the court, "and I did this just to as

and discharged the prisoner on con-

if you could only come back to mel"
A graver voice was speaking. 1t
was that of the clergyman. Coggs-
well had been liberal subscriber to
church funds, mainly for advertising
reasons.
"You must not reproach yourself,
Mrs. Coggswell," he was saying.
Your husband was good man, but
he failed as you say you failed, sim
ply because he did not always under
stand the people about him. He was
a rigidly good and honorable man in
many ways and liberal one"
A fourth voice took up the parable.
Coggswen started and clenched his
fists in bitter remorse. The voice was
that of his son.
Il know father meant to do well
by me" he said. You know, mother,
he believed that a man should shift
for himself, to develop independence
of character. That's why he left me
to worry along as best could. God
bless him! He was one of the finest
men that ever lived"
The voices died away, and it SEEM
ed Coggswell as though he had al
ready come to the new birth that he
desired. Why should he go away and
sink his identity when his life lay
here? No, the real life was in his &C
customed place, with life's struggle
still before him, enmities to over
come, faults to be atoned for, all the
battle to be fought out over again in
the accustomed battlefield. He hes
itated a moment; then softly opened
the door.

Inc SnaQeS were DOWN at all the VIII
dows. Coggswen let himself in noise
lessly and slipped along the hall and
up the stairs, creeping like a guilty
man bounded by adversaries. At the
head of the first flight the low drone
of voices reached his ears. The draw
room door was slightly ajar, and in
side he saw the coffin, surrounded
with lights, and persons standing
near it.
He crept up to his den at the top
of the house. AS he reached the last
story he saw figure coming toward
him, followed by another, and shrank
back into a closet just as they came
round the bend in the passage. They
were two serving maids, and, as they
paused, he heard one of them say:
''Why are you taking on so, Mary?
He wasn't no good, for all I've heard

'He mayn't have been a good man,
but he saved my brothers life
They passed on, and something
leaped up in Coggswell's heart. He
remembered now a carelessly tossed
hundred-dollar bill to the housemaid,
when he had learned that her brother
was suffering from tuberculosis.
When they had disappeared he went
down the steps with a firmer tread.
Nevertheless, outside the drawing
room door he paused and listened.
Prentice, his partner, was speaking.
81 tell you, Mrs. Coggswell,' he
was saying, Charles was a good
man. Never you worry about his

DUCKS STOMACHS
 FILLED WITH GOLD

EDMONTON, Alta, Jan. 15.- When R. W. Meredith, farmer at Woodland, Y miles southwest of here, dressed ducks for the local markets yesterday he found the stomachs of several birds filled with flake gold, seven of the pieces meas uring from sixteenth to an eighth of an inch in diameter. As the Meredith farm is three miles from the Saskatchewan river, where gold is being washed out of the gravel, it is hardly likely that the ducks pick ed up the flakes while feeding on the stream. However, it is probable that the yellow metal was found near by. Ernest Otto, son-in-law of Mir. Meredith, is arranging with two sea soned prospectors to make test drill lings on the land next spring. He is of the belief that it contains stra- tas of gold bearing sands. Farmers in other parts of the district also in tend making explorations.
