The Country Fairs.

Charley Rocks, editor of the Hum.
boldt Chronicle and manager of the
local fair at Humboldt, comes out
good and strong for State aid fol
county fairs and gives some good
reasons therefor. The Tennessee
Legislature should do one of two
things. 1t should either assist the
smaller shows or it should cut out
the enormous appropriations giver
the Knox, Davidson and Shelby fairs
Not much justice on display wher
you take tax money collected in
Murray or Madison and expend it or
a county show in Hamilton. See the
point. Anyway, here's what Mr.
Rocks says about it:
"The failure again of the Hum.
boldt fair to realize enough from its
gate fees and concessions to meet its
expenses, presses home the fact that
the county fair cannot continue tC
exist without aid from the outside.
The recent fair here was operated
as economically as is possible con-
sistent with it's objects and aims, and
even then its disbursements will be
fifty per cent mere than its receipts
This cannot continue, for no small
company, however DESTROYS of seeing
the fair perpetuated, can stand the
drain.
THE fair, like school, churches
and many other beneficial institu-
lions, must have support outside of
its own resources if it is to attain
the objects of its existence and to

The Senatorial candidates are
Smelling the brush in East Tennessee.
Patterson is after Lea and Lea holds
his own with the Ex-Governor. Con-
gresham Mcclellan knocks both
ways. At Bristol the other day he
warmed-up to the senior Senator as
follows:
you Democrats of Sullivan Coun-
ty, you neighbors and friends of the
beloved Bob Taylor, are you going
to turn your backs on his memory
and nominate for the United States
Senate the man who stuck the dag
ger deepest into his heart in 1910?
''In 1910 our party became dis
rupted when Governor Patterson
with whom you honored with a
nomination for Governor, threw
down the flag and turned his back
on you and the enemy. We met in
a great convention at Nashville
of which l had the honor of being
chairman. We called upon an Eas
Tennessean-your friend and neigh
Dor, the genial Democratic Bob
Taylor, to carry the banner. Luke
Lea fought him with all of hi
might and main and supported Gov
ernor Ben w. Hooper, Republican
against the beloved Democrat, Bob
Taylor. Is this a kind of man yol
are going to honor with the Demo
cratic nomination for the Senate?"
The Congressman said that out o
100000 worth of yearly Fedora
patronage distributed in Green Coun
lty, $4,000 of it is given by Lea tt
Democrats and the remainder to Re
Ipublicans.

Carmack Family Not Lea Supporters.

Lest an erroneous opinion should
get abroad relative to the attitude
of the Carmack family in the Sena-
torial race, an article having ap-
peared in the Tennessean and Ameri-
can this morning signed by IS. w.
Carmack," having possibly left an
impression that the Carmacks were
in favor of Senator Luke Lea, the
following statement was made this
morning by Sam c. Carmack, brother
of the late Senator Edward w. Car
mack:
II find that the impression is
abroad that the article appearing in
the Tennessean this morning was
written by me. l want to correct
that impression, and want to say
that l am not supporting Senator
Lea, but I am ardently supporting
Mr.. Mcclellan. Sam w. Carmack

fails to justify its existence. and can
mot live. If it offers premiums OF
satisfactory proportions, there is a
loss to the association that must be
met out of the pockets of the mem
bers.
MANY of the progressive States
of the Union assist their county fairs
with State aid. The States assume
TO offer State premiums, which re-
lieve the fair association of so much
of their premium burden. Some
States go SO far as to have State Fair
Commissioners whose duties. are to
assist fairs in a way similar to that
in which farmers are helped thru
the State Agricultural Departments.
Here in Tennessee the State offers
to expend the sum of $4,000 an
nually to help just three fairs, one
at Nashville, one at Knoxville and
one at Memphis. The little county
fairs are left to take care of them
selves. This is case where the
members of the Legislature from the
cities simply put it over their breth-
rem from the country.
THE $4,000 put up by the State,
if spent with the county fairs, would
be of vast more worth to the people
than spent with the three big shows.
No man would argue that three big
schools situated in Nashville, Knox
vile and Memphis would be worth
more than county high school in
each of the counties, and the same
conditions are true as to fairs. Thir-
ty county fairs, assisted in their
premium offers by $1,000 each from
the State, would be big successes and
of wonderful benefit to development
of agriculture and handicraft, and
would be the center of interest for
more people than would be a half
dozen so-called State fairs.
1.-THE country people of Tennessee
should see to it that their Legislators
repeal the act granting $4,000 each
to the three big fairs, and pass an
act giving proper aid to the county
fairs, which do the most good and
most need to be aided from the
State"

music, flowers, light literature, and
horses than she is of sciences. More
than anything else she is a bright,
happy gentle-woman, with smile
which wins every one instanteously.
Her teeth are like SO many perfect
pearls and her mouth is really the
best feature of very handsome face.
Her hair is very dark, and she is tall.

"She likes golf'-when she plays
with the President-but baseball
and horses" are her passions. True
to her Virginia birth and blood, she
is a splendid horsewoman, a good
driver and fine rider" She is fond
of walking, but could not we'll be
called athletic. She is rather a wo-
man enjoying the fullness of good
health and good living, keeping to
reasonable hours and reasonable
diet. She loves healthful fun and
enjoys a frolic, but is not given to
late suppers and indigestion"

State by counties. They propose to
inaugurate chain of chautauquas,
one for each county, which will be
held next spring.
A meeting was held at the City
Hall attended by quite a number OF
our business men and farmers, who
gladly accepted the proposition to
become member The work is
managed something like the ordi-
nary chautauqua. A party of lee
turers, demonstrators, farm and cat
tie experts, domestic science teach
ers, culinary artists, etc, will travel
together, enough of them to visit
every district in the county within
two days time. 1t is mammoth
proposition and gigantic under
taking, but the gentlemen at the
head know exactly what they are
doing and how to accomplish big
things. When the itinerary is made
out next year Obion will be on the
list and all the people will see, en-
