Richmond Expects Great
Crowd During State Fair.

Preparations for the opening
of the 1914 Virginia State Fair,
at Richmond, on the morning
of October ., are now practical.
ly complete. For weeks the
office and field forces of the
Virginia State Fair Association
have been working as top speed
to whip the grounds, exhibits,
and attractions into perfect con.
dition. They can now review
the results of their labors with
satisfaction; seeing before them
in preparedness the greatest
and finest State Fair which has
ever been planned in this sec.
ton of the United States.
The large office force of the
association, located in the Mu.

and acknowledging entrants in
the various exhibits and turf

ure recently the receipt of en-
tries from the famous farm of
MIR. Thos. +. Ryan. Coax
Ridge Va, comprising some
of the finest Guernsey cattle,
sheep, and other live stock to
be found in this country. 1t is
well worth the cost of a trip to
Richmond merely to view this
wonderful entry.
News that Governor Henry
q. Stuart is preparing TO enter
some of his finest cattle in the
live stock show to compete with
MIR. Ryan's entry has aroused
much interest. Many other

INVITE STATE TROOPS
TO FRISCO EXPOSITION.

Invitations for the participa.
ton of the Virginia troops in
militia manoeuvers at San Fran
cisco during the summer of
1918, have been received by
Adjutant-General w. w. Sale,
and the State authorities are
considering the feasibility of
attending. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the expense will be
too great, although any com
mand desiring to attend the ex-
position will be given all the
aid possible.
The maneouvers will be held
during the Panama Pacific Ex-
position, and the exposition Of
iicers are anxious to have Vir-
GINA represented. A huge
military reservatio1 will be
provided at the exposition
grounds. AS the troops from
various states will be arriving
ut different periods, the ma.
noeuvers, in which United
States troops will take part,
viii be extended over the whole
summer, and will be one of the
features of the big show.
Acknowledgment Sale has re
ccived a number of commnni.
cations on the subject, and Inns
taken up the question of rail
road rates with the trans-con.
tinental companies. All rail-
roads are cooperating with the
exposition, and a cheap rate
can be secured for a large body
of men,.
There are a number of draw
backs to attendance at the ma.
noeuvers. In the first place
there is the transportation ex.
pense, which, if the whole of
the State forces went, would
amount to $4,000 and again
there is the question of time.
Many malitiamen can get off
from their work for ten DAVIS or
two weeks, but such a trim
would necessarily require at
least three weeks. The War
Department would hardly com
tenance the expenditures of any
of it's funds for such a purpose,
it is thought.
If any Virginia commands,
and the Richmond Light In
fantry Blues battalion has. al
ready decided to attend the ex-
position, does go to San Fran.
cisco at its own expense, ample
camp facilities will be offered
them.
This will help to cheaper. the
trip to some extent. 1t is prob
able that any company making
sucha trip would be excused
without question from the sum.

the Virginia troops do accept

Little Typhoid
During August.
Shows What Public Coop
Grafton Can Accomplish
Says Health Au-
thorities.

Richmond, Va, September
26.-Statistics just complied by
the State Board of Health show
that Virginia had less typhoid
during August than during the
same month of any previous
year since the reorganization
of the board, except during the
phenomenally low year of 1912.
On the strength of these fig
ures, health officers are hoping
to close the report year l9l3-l4
on September 3Oth with the
best record yet achieved in the
popular warfare against Vir-
ginia's summer scourge.
During August 1914, $40 cases
of typhoid fever were reported
by physicians, as compared
with Lap during August 1918,
l,042 during August 1911, ,37S
during August 1910 and 1853
during August 1909. In 1912,
we'll remembered for it's late
spring and mild summer, the
cases reported in August were
S72. These figures, it is stated
include only those cases actual.
ly reported. Estimates based
on the probable number of
cases i'll the practice of physi-
clans who have not yet for
warded their reports have not
yet been prepared.
Health officers are of opinion
that the cool weather during
the second week in September
will reduce the typhoid this
month. In eastern Virginia
the number of flies during the
past few weeks has been no
ticcably less than during Aug
ust, a fact which generally
presages Il decline in the mum.
Der of typhoid cases reported
Equally promising is state
ment by the board that only
one typhoid outbreak of conse-
quence has been reported dur
ing September. This was
promptly Investigated by the
health officer of the city in
which it occurred and also by a
representative of the State
Board of Health. 1t is hoped
that the crest of this outbreak
has been passed and that no
further cases from the same
source will be reported.
"The excellent record for
August" declares the Board
of Health in its regular weekly
bulletin, given out today, sis
impressive primarily because
it shows what can be accom-
plished when the people of
small towns and cities, as well
as those of the country, will
spend some time and energy in
preventing disease. We are
naturally pleased that Virginia
has during August only go pei
cent. as much typhoid as dur.
ing August 1909 and 1910, but
$40 reported cases are just S7C
too many. The same principles
which have so reduced typhoid
in Virginia will suffice, if gen
orally applied, to make the di
sease a negligible factor. We
need only realize that public
corporation is necessary and
that the conquest of typhoid
fever is merely a question OF
applying familiar truths in a
common sense manner"

ern France still are striking
hard bio w, ut each ether i'm an
effort la break through the re
speetive positions. Both sides.
according Ia the French official
report issued late today, have
made some progress, the Ger
mans on the allies right perhaps
the greatest.
For three days or more n VIC
lent battle has been raging in
the hills and plains between
the rivers Disc and Somme.
Official accounts, both German
and French, are silent as to
how this fight is going, but the
frontal attack on the Germans
strongly fortified and well rein
forced positions farther south
the allies have made some
slight progress. The Germans
apparently are satisfied to re
main on the defensive until the
battle on the flank has been de-
cided.
From Siossons to Rheims and
thence to Nerdun there has
been no change in the situation
but in the south of Woevre the
French continue to make prog
ress and have defeated Ger
man corps with heavy losses.
On the French extreme right
the French have taken the Of
fensive with the reservists and
have repulsed German forces
holding the line along the from
tier.
OF the activities of the Brit
ish army, the war office is spar
ing with Information. a brief
paragraph recounting the ac-
tiyity of the Germans all along
the line and the repulse of
heavy counter attacks with
considerable loss to the enemy,
is the extent of the news given
out.
There is no uneasiness in
England, the people feeling
confident the allies can hold
their own, if they do not drive
the Germans back.
There has been II lull in the
fighting in Galicia while the
Russians are perfecting their
plan for the Investment of Pre-
aeymsl which is now cut Oft
from all communication. The
Russians have taken Rzesezow,
an important railway center
between Tarnow and Prexe-
mysl, and have captured two
fortified positions north and
south of the latter fortress.
This giyes them possession of
the whole of Galicia with the
exception of the narrow western
neck of the head of which
stands Cracow.
Along the western frontier of
Poland, which the Germans
have been threatening for some
time, they are now reported to
be certifying themselves. In
fact, from Cracow to the ex-
treme north. of East Prussia,
the Russian and German armies
apparently are facing each
other across the boundary, each
waiting for n favorable oppor-
tunity to attack. The Germans
are said to have rid themselves
OIL the Russians in East Prussia
and are sending a commission
to that country to re establish
the inhabitants who fled when
the Russian invasion drove
everything before it.

BASE BALL.

The Norton and East Stone
Gap High School teams played
here Saturday afternoon and
afforded much excitement. 1t
looked as if the Norton boys
would run away with the game
during the first four innings,
piling up five scores, while
their opponents failed to score
at all. In the fifth East Stone
rallied and put three men across
home plate and continued to
score during the remainer of
the game, the final score being
