ments to owners of fast horses are
liberal and will draw more horses
than ever. judging by the applica-
tions for stable space already re-
ceived by the secretary.
The city of Jackson desires to
impress on the people of the state
that this fair at Jackson is a
"State Fair" and not local prop
osition, and for that reason all the
best exhibits at the county fairs
over the state are solicited. Jack
son has spent a great deal of money
on this fair. but there are those
who continue to knock it as a local
proposition. which it never has
been.
Texas. Illinois, Iowa and other
states appropriate large sums for
their state fairs, and why rot Mis-
sissippi, the state above all others
that is agricultural to the core?
That is what Jackson wants to
know. but just the same Jackson
will continue to give great fair
every year

The weather is hot, and you feel
like a rag, your backbone willis and
you feet they drag; your disposi-
tion gets sour along with your
clothes, as old Sol continues to red
den your nose. Your friend will
ask as he applies the mop, "Can
you keep warm today, old top?"
Thus it goes on, from bad to
worse, you get crazy with heat,
and the weather curse. By the
time old Sol knocks off for the
night, you've said bad things and
are ready to fight. There is only
one way to live this life. whether
in heat or cold, in pain or when
joy is rife-just live it one day at
a time.

UNLOCKED FOR STRENGTH IS
SHOWN BY SOME CANDIDATES
Some of Old Members of Board of Supervisors Are DefeaeTe Vote
in Beat 5State Election ReMnsThe Official Vote Of County
as Passed on by Committee.

The second primary election IL
Lincoln county took place yester-
day without any very notable incl
dents of any kind to mar the day
the vote poIIed being slightly less
than for the preceding primary,
accounted for by some loss Of in
terest in the elimination by noml-
nation of SO many of the candidates
in the first primary of Aug. 3.
The most surprising part of the
election came after the returns
commenced to come in last evening
showing what had hitherto been
deemed impossible by even the
strongest supporters of some of the
candidates in some instances-the
rolling up of good big majority
for certain of the candidates.
The sheriff's race for instance,
had been generally conceded tc be
a hard proposition and many were
the forecasts that the winner would
not get off with more than 80 to
100 majority in the county. the
general supposition being that K.
c. Applewhite would have a good
lead in the two Brookhaven boxes.
The count showed that ". Ed
Smith, his opponent, had ran neck
and neck with Applewhite in the
city while the country boxes COM
menced to run up Smiths majority
until it reached 355.
j. Frank Cole defeated b. e..
Butler for Representative. while I.
Hugh Smith. present assessor, was
nominated over J. G. Cosnahan.
R, W. McNair, Chancery Clerk
for four terms, held his office, his
opponent j. Morris Montgomery
showing most remarkable strength
against such a veteran campaigner
and man of many friends as Mr..
McNair has always proved to be.
Jesse Glover will be county
treasurer winning over j. D. Blue
Barney Grice is the next County
Superintendent of Education.

London. Dec 10-A tribute to the patriotism, courage and energy of tffe British fishermen is contained in the governments annual report on sea fisheries for 1914, just issued
 No industry, says the report, has been so greatly affected by the war as sea fishing, and when the history of the war is written, the country will realize, as it never has before, the supreme value to an island maritime power of an organized fishing indus try and a daring fishing population 2
 Notwithstanding the s1imi tatfon of fishing waters by naval regulations, mine fields and German submarines, there were landed in England and Wales. in 1914 some 10,125. 900 cwts. of fish exclusive of shell fish of the value of $39, ,235.O00 as against 16,- 045, 900.

THREE BIG WHEAT ELEVATORS BURN
 LOSS IS S75O, 900.

Erie, Pa. Dec 1o-Two of the three Anchor Line elevators. owned by the Pennsylvania Raalroad Go here were destroyed byF fire early today with their contents about 500, ,OOO bushels Of wheat The loss is estimated at about $75O,0OO. A third elevator containing S25so o0e bushels Of wheat, was saved after hard fight by fire men The wheat came from Canada and awaited shipment to Great Britain and her allies.
 The fire. which started at 2 o'clock this morning, was virtually under con- strol four hours later. It had it's origin in the shaft of the main elevator and was driven by strong northeast wind into the grain bins below. The fire men were handicapped by a maze of railroad tracks on which were many freight cars.
 The elevators stood on the shore of Erie Bay. Several sceamers at the piers were saved by being lowed into the bay. An investigation of the origin of the fire will be requested No oth- CT cause than spontaneous com bustion has yet been assigned.

STRAUS CHOSEN BY WHIT MAN IN
 M'CALL'S PLACE

Albany. Dec 10.[Oscar S. Straus of New york, who was the Bull Moose candidate for governor in 1912, was named by Gov Whitman yesterday to succeed Judge Edward E. Mccall as a member and chairman of the Public Service Commission Tor the First dis Hrict MI. Straus has accepted the appointment and will begin his new duties a week from next Monday.
 The governor made it plain that MT. Straus, who will be 65 years old on December 23, was reluctant to accept dhS appointment. Since Tuesday morn ing the day after the announcement of Judge McCaH.s removal the gov ernor had been trying to get MT. Straus to accept, but he had declined day morning. At that time Governor W hitman talked with him over the telephone and finally persuaded him.
 It was suggested in political circles here that the appointment would not yprove acceptable to the organization pressed the belief that the organizga- Iion would indorse the appointment when it comes before the State Senate for confirmation in January-

ALLIED ARMY IN SERBIA
 FACES GRAVE DANGERS

London, Dec. 10-All the morning newspapers comment lon what they characterize as the grave situation of the entente forces in Serbia. The Sa- Ioniki correspondent of the Chronicle describing the Bulgarian attacks says:
 Fairly important Bulgarian forces are engaged, and the fighting much more resemb1ed that of the previous Balkan war than the operations now in Flanders and France. The country is rough and mountainous and raists greatly facilitate what is really guer- riI1a warfare. On different occasions a suddenly lifting mist has the Bull garians in a very exposed position close to the British front which has allowed the British Maxims to get into action and inf7ict heavy losses.
 ttI believe that the withdrawal and alteration of the Allies line has given up nothing of material importance but was undertaken in order to strengthen the land placed in exposed positions 9

 HIT AT EAGLES HALL

Division No. 1,A- o. H., gave a s1c- cessful minstrel show last evening at Eagles hall. William Toomey's mon ologue the repartee between him and Thomas Lynch and the general excel- fence of the chorus helped make the affair a pleasing one.
 Mike Broderick and Bernard Adonohah pleased the crowd with their specialties. Broderic1ss recitation en- titled "If the Germans capture Dub lin and the Kaiser is Lord Mayor was of his own composition and made a hit with the crowd. s'She Might Have Licked Mccarthy but She Can't Lick Me-. by Monohan and "Santiago Flynn rendered by Tom Lynch, were two old fashioned Irish dittfes that brought down the house. Every soloist on the program has to respond to repeated encores and at the con- clusion of the performance the specta- tors voted the minstrel oneE of the most successful, Financially, fnstru- mentally and vocally presented in this city in some time.
 Eagles hall was crowded to the doors when the curtain went up and no doubt there will be a record crowd to witness the performance this even ing when 1t will be presented for the second and last time. The perform ance will begin at 8s15 and will con- cIude about g.45- Dancing will fol- low until midnight.
