PREMIUMS FOR FAIR

To the Abheville County Fair Association:
ga committee appointed by The Cham
Der Of Commerce" as you requested, cam
vassed the City for the purpose Of raising
premiums and funds to pay premiums, at
our Annual County Fair this fall. -
We are pleased to hand you the accom-
panying list amounting to nearly four
hundred dollars (s40OOO). Some have
promised to contribute later. The Abbe-
vile Oil Mill Company contributed ton Of
cotton seed meal, and we have asked the
resident agents Of the different Fertilizer
Companies to see If they, won't do the
same. We would suggest that you appoint
two or three men in different sections Of
the County to solicit premiums In either
cash or Farm Produce, believing that thus
you will develop much interest as well as
practical support.
We also suggest that all premiums sub
scribed, as well as cash premiums from
the Association, be put on exhibition at
the Fair Ground, which will In itself be q
fine exhibit and elicit; more interest from
contestants. ~.

OF Education This Year.-Mr. Law
son VIII Serve Uneynired' Term.

OF Education This Year-Mr. Law
son Will Serve Unexpired Term.
There has been an impression
throughout the county that there
would be an election this year for
Superintendent of Education to sue
ceed Rev. J. M. Lawson. This is a mis-
take as Mr.. Lawson will serve out
the unexpired term of w. R. Bradley,
who was elected for four years. Mr..
Lawson was elected by the State
Board of Education Of which the Gov
.ernor is member. The law in refer
ence to the matter is very plain and
says Gall vacancies in the Office Of
County Superintendent of Education
shall be filled by the State Board Of
Education for the unexpired term I"
Had Mr.. Bradley continued in office
his term would have expired in jan
uary 1917, and therefore Mr.. Lawson
will hold until that time. An election
for the Office, however, will be held in
August 1915, two years from now. The
law is very plain and admits Of no
doubt. The Governor does not appoint
the Superintendent, but the State
Board elects, and the Governor only
issues the commission.

THREATEN BURNS
IN GEORGIA TOWN
Demonstration Against Detective At
Marietta.-Once Victims Home.

Marietta, Ca, May 2.-William J.
Burns the detective, was the CEN
tre of an angry demonstration when
he came here late today, presum-
ably in connection with an investiga-
tion of the case of Leo M. Frank,
the young factory superintendent Of
Atlanta, under sentence Of death for
the murder of 14-year-old, Mary
Phagan. One of large crowd that
surrounded the detectives as soon as
his presence was discovered struck
the detective in the face and threats
Of violence were made If Burns made
any attempt to resist. The detective
Immediately went to hotel, while
another detective, G. w. Burke, who
accompanied him here, summoned
deputy sheriffs to guard Burns.
This was the hone Of the muir
dered factory girl and many Of her
relatives still live here. Much feeling
has been aroused by the detectiv e's
declaration that Frank was not guilty
and that James Conley, negro fac
tory sweeper, convicted as an acces-
sorry after the murder, alone was re-.
sponsible for the crime.
An unusually large crowd was here
today on account Of primary for the
selection of candidates for county Of
fees. Burns and Burke came here in
an automobile and were at a garage
having some repairs made on the car
when they were discovered and the
demonstration started. Mr.. Burns
left the city tonight and returned to
Atlanta .
The crowd which had started the
demonstration and which had been
augmented by the arrival of other
townspeople, had by this time gath
cred in front of the hotel. An. auto
mobile was summoned and the, detec-
tive, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Hicks and Judge Morris, quit skly en-
tered it.
Jeers and threats were sho' oted by
the crowd and eggs thrown ut Burns
One hit Judge Morris, but the de-
tective was not struck. The automo-
bile left the city at a high rate OF
speed.

Request to Oil Streets.

Editor Press and Banner.

Editor Press and Banner.
There Is very important matter that /
would like to call the attention Of the local
Civic Club to. It is the awful dusty street
we have that ruin the curtains dim the
windows, and walls and make painting
and housecleaning a useless e1pendenture
OF time, money and energy. There is q
remedy, and very simple but effective:
OF course 1t will cost little money: But
what housekeeper would not gladly pay q
small sum, say couple Of dollars, to be
free from this nuisance, Of dust.
Instead Of sprinkling little water ON q
small part Of the main thoroughfare that
lasts but a couple Of hours, suppose the
Civic Club. take up the matter Of oiling all
the streets; voluntary assement, once each
year, and let's do away with dust alto
gether. -. H., ~; r,
While visiting in the north two years ago
I was struck with the remarkable freedom
from dusty streets, In all the towns I yisf-
ted or passed through all the way. from
SllCLaudGtl w SulCdSOs' hb W uIuluHUOu
Ohio, enquired about this matter and
learned that 1t was due to the fact that
each spring the Abutting property owners
by a system ofvoluntary assessment under
the direction OF the Civic club, oiled the
streets with crude oil, That not only keeps
the dust down but prevents water stand
ing in puddles Or washing holes In streets.
This does not cost much. Is good for a
year, and Is Of inestimiable value to the
housekeeper, besides making life, during
the summer months more endurable, and
giving visitors pleasant remembrance
Of dustless city to carry home
with them. 1t Is also a sanitary measure
that should not be overlooked.
Let the Civic Club get busy: It is easy
to get all necessary information as to cost
method, etc. g,

vile, was placed in Jail here yestcr-
day afternoon on charge of murder
ing Moses Thompson, aged ~, who

In Newport News an automobile

"The roller skate problem has given
the City Council no end OF trouble.
The members desire that the children
shall enjoy this innocent sport to
the utmost, but skating on the sloef
walks became SO troublesome to ped
estrians that the Council finally telt
constrained to prohibit it. The chit
dren were then forced to skate, II al

that is even more troublesome to

REVIVAL SURE TO COME
Confidence Is Given By Paish and
Blackett Of English Treasury

| Washington, Octobr 24.-Financial
forces of the government, the wis
dom of some of the most prominent
men in the American banking world
and the friendly counsel of repe-
sentatives of Great Britain were
turned yesterday toward solution OF
The problem of a readjustment of the
foreign exchange market to meet
conditions which have arisen as a
consequence of the European war.
For more than three hours the
Federal Reserve Board, Sir George
Paish and Basil B. Blackett, repre-
senting the English treasury, and
some Of the best known bankers in
New York discussed the situation in
all it's aspects. According to those
present there was not note of pes
simism heard to mar the harmony Of
the conference and there was every
reason to believe that all the problems
which loomed so large on the finan-
cial horizon few months ago will
be solved without great difficulty.
Here are the salient points discussed
IL the conference and the results
anticipated:
American bankers stand ready to
Lay their obligations to England in
cash. The 100000 900 gold pool al
ready formed and sSO,OOO,OOo raised
by a New York syndicate TO meet
New York city's obligations prob
ably will suffice to satisfy England.
Payment of this total may not DC
necessary.
The Federal Reserve Board to has
ten consideration Of the proposed cot
ton loan fund plan, designed in part
ID give bottom to the cotton market.
The cotton exchange in New York
New Orleans and Liverpool is to be
opened as soon as possible. The New
York exchange probably will confer
through committee with the Liver
pool exchange before such action is
taken.

Virginia have called attention to the
danger to the lives and limbs OF chill
dren who engage in rollerskating !, It
it natural for children to enjoy them
selves, and when they can do so
in safety no one should object to
their innocent diversions But the
fact remains that children while en-
gagged in play seldom realize danger.
They imagine everybody will get out
of their way; hence they play ball,
use wagons. bicycles, and fjtrieyeles
and engage in rollerskatine in the
public street unmindful of passing
vehicles. The automobile and motor
cycle are menaces, as they fit by at
terrific speed at times, and often
sounding horns.
Although automobiles and motor
cycles are increasing in number in
Alexandria all the time, but few &C.
cidents to the same and they of
minor nature, occurred, but they are
becoming too frequent in other places
IN: those modern contrivances are
iaOle at any time to bring woe to
households in Alexandria.

LEGENDS OF
POCAHONTAS.

A tablet in memory Of Pocahontas,
daughter Of Powhatan, wan unveiled
at jamestown today. The story of
the Indian princess as told in the
school books thrilled US in our juve-
nile days, and in our adolescence we
were taught to regard all stated of
the aborigine as Gospel truths. In
later years however, as the myths of
other countries were mfolded, Sus-
picion was aroused as to the foun-
dation of certain stories concerning
Pocahontas.
In the vicinity Of jamestown me
stone upon which Captain John
Smiths head is alleged to have re-
posed, as Indians were about to beat
out his brains when PocahontaS
sprang to his rescue, is still shown
tourists. 1t is significant that Smith
did not relate this story until long
after the daughter Of the forest had
paid the dept of nature. 1t IS also
said that the legend was taken from
q story told in Germany centuries be-
fore in which q hero was rescued
by the daughter of chieftain under
similar circumstances.
That Pocahontas did live and was
known to the early settlers is doubt
less true, and that she married the
Englishman Rolfc can be proven
But that certain stories in connection
with her rneventful history should be
taken with due allowance has long
been admitted.
In bygone years many people III
Virginia firmly believed they were
descendants of the Indian Princess.
A representation Of this class were
Alexandrians. They were not as
numerous as the descendants OF Con-
fucius or Mahomet, but were equally
proud Of their claims.
