support and Most liberal patronage.
We fully appreciate that if the
States schedule and proposition
could have reached us earlier, and
the people could have gotten the
Information earlier, that more a nd
more satisfactory exhibits could
have been made at the 1915 Fair;
but we urge every body, and par
ticularly the farmers and stock
raisers, to make their best possible
efforts in all these State contests,
so that the State may see that we
have appreciated its efforts in our
behalf. The delay in promulgatine
the State Rules may render it diff
ficult for the first year, but the
State is good partner to have in
Eterested with you in agriculture
and stock-raising. and we feel that
there is no better time than now to
begin. The State is doing its part.
Let the people of Jackson do theirs.
In addition to the premiums Of
fered. there will be selected from
those exhibits coming under the
State Rules, such exhibits as are eli
gible to be entered at the District
Fairs and the State Fair.
Attention is called to that part of
Department A, under the State
Rules. which separates the mems

test this year is not based on the
amount grown on an acre, but on
the character and quality of the
corn.

be noted that all exhibits of the

must be accompanied by one sheaf

INTRODUCTORY.


Fair will be held at the Fair eroun .
in Sylvia on Sept. 18th, 18th, 3Oth
and Oct. 1st. 1915.
This Fair is es pecially designed
and maintained for the purpose OF
ENCOURAGING and helping the aerl-
cultural, educational, manufacture
ing, horticultural and animal IN
dustries of Jackson county. We
believe that| the Fair has al
ready accomplished incalulable
good in all these lines, but fully
appreciate with the hearty cooper
alton of all the citizens of Jackson
County, it may accomplish vastly
more in all lines for the C0unty's
betterment and progress. This
Fair is open to all the Counties OF
Western North Carolina to make
exhibits. for the reason that it any
of our sister Counties are achieving
more success in any line of in
dustry or progress than we are,
we want our people in jackson
County to see it and have the edu-
cational benefits thereof.
The Fair is designed to cover all
phases of commercial and indust-
rial life and all are invited o make
exhibits. We have endeavored to
make place for everything, in the
Premiuw List, in an equitable and
judicious manner, but if we have
omitted therefrom any product, ar
ticle or other matter which you
think would be of interest to our
citizens, you are invited to brin & it
along and place it upon exhibit.
1t will help. encourag and educate.
Inasmuch as this Fair is designed
to encourage and educate, we are
not making any charge, whatever
for entries and this should insure a
very large variety and excellent
exhibit in all lines.
Notwithstanding the severe loss
of our Fair buildings, having been
destroyed by fire since our last an
nual Fair, we have, at considerable
sacrifice, replaced these buildings
! l.; Other cf better arrangement
and design anu we may safely say
that all arrangements and conven-
fences for exhibits and for individ-
uals will be the equal and in many
respects better than heretofore.
We have many reasons to be en-
couraged and confidently expect
the best all around Fair that we
have ever had. We have many as
surances of cooperation which we
have not heretofore been able to
obtain.
The Agricultural Department of
the State of North Carolina has
been especially pleased with the
progress which has heretofore been
made by the Jackson County Fair
Association, especially in the i'm
provement of the stock exhibits
and agricultural exhibits. and is
taking special interest in our 1915
Fair by offering many premiums
on live stock and agricultural pro-
ducts directly, as will appear else
where in this Premium List. The
fact that this department of State
has been specially attracted by the
merits of Our efforts heretofore and
is in this manner encouraging us to
still greater efforts, should invoke
our pride and our best efforts to
make the 1915 Fair a still greater
success.
In order to get the benefit OF
premiums offered by the State to
the Jackson County Fair, it has
been necessary for the Fair Asso-
citation to add an equal amount to
each premium. In this way, We

HOW THE GREAT GUEST CAME

Edwin Markham

And she was spent with wrench

He gave her his loaf and steadied

AS she took her way on the
weary road.
Then to his door came a little
child.
Lost and afraid in the world SO
wild,
In the big, dark world. Catching
it up,
He gave 1.-THE milk in the wait

And led it home to its mothers

us per cent of the voters of Jack

to the statistics of the state depart

the worst. but not as good as the
best. There was one moonlight

deal with the problem, and the
county superintendent is making
plans for others this year.

as they should be.
The general impression of the
latest note to the Imperial German
Government seems to be that it is in
the nature of an ultimatum. How.
ever, it strikes us that it is a clear
cut and well defined statement that
America will brook no interference
of the freedom of the seas from any
quarter whatsoever; and, while it is
directed to Berlin, it is to be under
stood to include in the scope of it's
effect all Of the belligerents. In
other words, the United States
pledges the Washington Government
to an everlasting support of the
principles for which we contended
in 1912 and for which, Pres dent
Wilson says, Germany is now con-
tending. : 1t sets a precedent that
will be more far-reachine in it

doctrine of international law ever
announced by Washington.
One of the most important forces

Thad. F. Deitz and DR.. Caleb A.

Denver Still in Colorado.

The Colorado Supreme Court has
handed down = decision holding that
the prohibition amendment to the state
constitution made by the voters of the
state at the last election me ans prohi.
bitien in the City of Denver ~ well az
in the balance Of the state.
Following the adoption Of the. state
wide prohibition constitutional amend
ment, the Denver voters undertook 10
nullify this constitutional amendment,
30 far MS Denver 10 concerned. by an q.
mendment to the city charter providing
for the sale Of liquor under city license,
claiming as authority for such action,
the power given Denver in the ''home
rule" amendment to regulatethe sale Of
liquor within the city. Under this ac-
ton il was eontended by some of the
Denver "wets" that Denver could and
would disregard the state prohibition
constitutional amendment and continue
the sale of liquor in the city with pro.
hibition in full force in the balance Of
the state.
To settle this question before the
time tor the prohibition law to take ef
feet. the supreme court was asked to
pass upon test case and the court is
unanimous in it's holding that. when
the voters OF the state IN 1914 adopted
the prohibition constitutional amend
