A HENDERSON COUNTY FAIR.

Rivalry from time immemorial has
called forth the most earnest human
| eLdeavor and has been the incentive
| to lofty ideals. Rivalry between ma
tons, tribes and clans has resulted in
barbaric warfare and disastrous ad-
| venture, as well as the advancement
Of peace and progress.
The spirit of rivalry, the desire to
surpass, is an innate characteristic of
n an. 1t inspires the development and
! concentration and of strenuous effort
for the attainment of the goal of ones
ambition, whether it be for good or
evil. The motive which directs this
dynamic force in connection with all
phases of human activity, is evidently
an important factor to society, and
! particularly so when applied to move
ments of extended scope OF construc-
tive nature.
The modern fair is d direct product
Of rivalry. 1t is conducted primarily
foI the advancement of agricultural
| and educational interests. 1t is a pos
tive force in the enlightenment of the
citizenship of the community. it affords
,'oSiect lessons and opportunities for in
| spiration to higher ideals, more use
fui and successful lives. all of which is
the result OF friendly, wholesome
rivalry.
Each county should have a modern
| annual fair and by creating friendly
| rivalry not only within each county
but with adjoining counties, encourage
a degree of pride and Development of
intellect in the adoption Of more
scientific methods, which would
promptly advance prosperity and in
tell1gence throughout the zone of COM
retition. If this were done through
| out Western North Carolina and then
! the best products combined in one
grand district exhibition, say the Wes-
tern North Carolina fair, it would
rrove a revelation and an inspiration
tc all this territory and result in in
%calculable benefits.
The prospects for an agricultural
and educational fair in Henderson
county were never brighter than they
are today. We are making wonderful
strides along these lines and with a
county demonstration in our midst at
all times to give the latest approved
instructions in better and more mod
ern farming methods a county fair
could be made a remarkable success.
Our more progressive neighboring
counties have realized the benefits to
be derived from county fairs and until
we join in this march of progress we
Will necessaril remain in the back
ground.
The Blue Ridge Township Fair,
which in it's limited way is doing a
most commendable work, would doubt
less join in the movement for a bigger
fair, which would be more fully repre-
sentative of the county's possibilities
than a township fair could possibly be.
There is a growing sentiment in this
section for a county fair, but it is nee
essary for the initial step to. be taken
in this work before results can be OBJ
tanned. An excellent opportunity is
open to the progressive public spirited
citizens of this county to perform
valuable service by making the first
move to establish an institution of this
character which would grow in useful
ress with the passing years.

FRlEDMANN's SERUM FAILS
Canadian Physicians Can Find No
Benefit In the German Doctor's
tuberculosis Remedy.

London, Ontario.-The COMMITTEES
appointed by the Canadian Associa-
ton OF tuberculosis to investigate che
cases innoculated by DR.. Friedrich
Friedman with his serum, at Mon
treal, Ottawa, Toronto and this city,
has submitted its report on the l6l
cases studied.
"As a result of our observation"
the report says, "the following conclu-
sions seem justifiable:
The NEGOTIATIONS have neither con-
stantly nor frequently been followed
by marked change in the clinical
course OF the disease.
The cure or progress towards cure
claimed by Doctor friedman for the
treatment has neither constantly nor
even frequently taken place during
the time which the cases have been
under observation.
Thus upon investigation, the COM
mittee finds that the results have
been disappointing and that the
claims made for his remedy by Doc
tor Friedman have not been proved
and that nothing has been found to
justify any confidence in the remedy.

A NEW POsTOFFICE RULING
Parcels Post Stamps Now Good on
Any Glass Of Mail, Says Mr..

Washington, d. C.-Parcel post
stamps will be valid on all classes OF
mail on and after July 1, and ordinary
stamps, including commemorative IS
sues, will be good for postage on par
cal post packages, under an order
ust issued by Postmaster General
5uTleson.
AS the distinctive parcel post stamp
could heretofore be used only on one
class of mail matter, much annoyance
was caused the public. Mr.. Burleson
explained that this stamp was de-
signed for temporary use only, to de-
termine the amount of revenue de-
rived from the parcel post. This now
has been ascrtained, he said, and the
department believes that the public
should not be caused further incon-
venience

FOR FREE SUGAR AND WOOL
Only Six Democrats Opposed PresL
dent Wilson's Tariff Policy In the
caucus-No Attempt to Bind
Members Vet.

Washington, D. Gree sugar in
1916 and free raw wool are now es.
tablished in the tariff revision bill,
having been approved by the Demo
cratic caucus of the senate after
two days fight. The sugar schedule
as reported by the majority members
of the finance committee and prac.
tically as 1t passed the house, was
approved by a vote of 40 to 6. Free
raw wool as submitted by the major
ity and just as 1t passed the house,
swept the senate caucus by a vote
of Al to 6.
This ratification OF President VIII
sons tariff policy, he having insisted
upon the wool and sugar propositions
before the ways and means commit
tee in the beginning, came after a
long series of developments since the
tariff bill passed the house in which
the president has been an active par
ticipant.
When the fight of the anti-free SUI
gar and anti-free wool Democrats was
getting under way the president is
sued public statement declaring that
any suggestion of compromise on his
wool and sugar schedule ideas was alb
solutely out of the question and later
he stirred all administration leaders
to action when he made his charge
about the existence in Washington OF
an "insidious lobby" investigation OF
which has brought results regarded as
favorable to the tariff bill.

MULHALL'S STORY
FORMER LOBBYIST FOR MANuFAc.
TURERs' ASSOCIATION MAKES
SENSATIONAL CONFESSION.
PARTY LEADERS INVOLVED
Progressive Legislation Was Defeated
by Influencing standpat Members
of Both the Old Parties
Mulhall Subpoenaed.

New York, N. "DETAILS of the
lobby work of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, as related in
the signed statement of Col. Martin
NJ. Mulhall published in the New York
World and the Chicago Tribune, give
a more comprehensive idea of the
power of the organization.
Even such men as the late Vice.
President James s. Sherman, who at
the time mentioned in the statement
was chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, came to New York
to meet in secret with the head of
the N. A. NJ, the Mulhall statement
says.
The statement purports to be Null
halls personal history as the repre-
sentative from 1903 to 1912 of the
National Association of Manufacturers
and bristles with the names of con-
gressmen who he alleges were sub
servient" or who were punished for
their opposition to legislation favored
by the association.
The allegations that he had helped
to defeat congressman who opposed
the interests of the manufacturers
that this organization had spent thou
sands of dollars to elect, congress
men expected to be sympathetic to
their influences; that he had aided in
getting favorable members on commit
tees that handled labor legislation,
and that his assistants had used great
efforts to obtain the establishment of
a federal tariff commission in 1908 as
means of delaying tariff revision, are
contained in the long article under Mr..
Mulhall,s name.
Washington, d. C.-The amazing
disclosures made by Martin M. Null
hall, for years the lobbyist of the
American Manufacturers Association,
involving some of the most conspic-
uous figures in the politics of this
country, will be Investigated by two

lobby committee directed the sergeant
before his committee. "Wednesday

tive Swanger Shirley of Kentucky will
offer a resolution directing that a com.
mittee of the house be appointed by
Speaker Clark to investigate the
charges.
Speaker Clark said that he had per-
sonal knowledge of the activity of the
lobby represented by Mulhall, as the
interests he represented had sent a
corruption fund to Clark's district in
1903 to defeat him for reelection to
congress.
