TOURED COUNTY
IN WAGON IN
FAIRS INTEREST.
!. A. WOLFE AND BROTHER
FOUND MANY SURPRISES AS
THEY WENT FROM ONE SEC
TIoN TO THE OTHER.

Completing a tour of the county in
wagon, in the interest of the Es-
Gambia County Fair, C. A. Wolfe,
who was accompanied by his brother,
Ellsworth Wolfe, returns, filed with
enthusiasm at the high interest dis
played in all sections of the coun-
ty over the on-coming fair, and he
expressed surprise at the conditions
of crops generally, and the condition
of everything, indicating, to his way
of thinking, that the Escambia farm
er is getting more and more indie
pendent with each harvest.
They left Tuesday, August 8, and
returned Saturday, August IA, COW
ering practically the whole of the
county.
Premiums lists of the forthcoming
fair were personally delivered to
farmers in all sections, taken direct
ly to the homes of those who re-
ceived them. AS a natural conse-
quence, Mr.. Wolfe heard expressions
on all sides, indicating great deal
Of favorable interest in the affair.
The farmers were also pleased at the
manner the fair management sought
to reach them all by sending man
through to their homes.
From personal observation" said
Mr.. Wolfe, Il can say that the crops
generally are good. The corn crop,
which is now being harvested, is
especially fine. The acreage of sweet
potatoes and sugarcane growing, are
also large, and promise a magnificent
yield.
i was struck with the large num-
Der of silos in use, and in the process
of their construction, and l was also
impressed with the large amount of
farm machinery in use. These facts
indicate that the farmers of Escam-
bia county are among the most en-
lightened in the south.
"The roads were almost without
exception in very good condition, and
where they were found bad, work
was then in progress to better them.
passed several places where work
was being DONE"
The conditions of the herds of the
beef and milk cattle also created
favorable impression upon Mr.. Wolfe,
who had some good words to say
about the animals, as well as the
sheep, goats, pigs, horses and farm
stock generally.
with good crops, the highest in
terest manifested, and the farmers
most willing to lend their co-opera-
ton, it looks like there is every rea-
son for predicting the most success
full Of county fairs" said Mr.. Wolfe.

Without the loss of an hour, the
steamship Minerva, which arrived
Saturday. was locked at the east side
of Muscogee wharf and will probably
work there today. This vessel will
be given the best dispatch possible.
After clearing for Genoa Saturday
the steamship Alba remained in port
and will probably stay here until
there is some trace of the hurricane,
which has been reported during the
past few days in the southern gulf.
Capt. Vale was all ready to leave on
Friday until he heard of the hurri-

BOY SCOUT IS ovERwoRKED
Turning Lads Into Amateur seaven-
gers or Baggage Handlers 10 Trav-
cling In Wrong Direction.

The American tendency to overwork
good thing is showing in the case Of
the Boy Scouts. Not content with
using the youngsters as special po-
licemen. they have been set to work
cleaning up malodorous alleys in some
cities and towns, and a scheme was
even broached to use them as baggage
hustlers for a large convention.
This is not merely going too far, it
is travelling in the wrong direction.
To let Boy Scouts keep order at patri-
otto celebrations is appropriate and
wise. To have them bear their part
at any general cleanup is we'll enough,
though these spectacular scrubbing
bees seldom accomplish much for sani-
tation. But to turn the lads into anna
teur scavengers or baggage handlers
Is another story. 1t smacks far too
much of the system of that practical
gentleman who managed Dotheboys

Famous Fsats Of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who. while
riding at a gallop. could send an Ar
row through buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was. 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
Of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock. Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit q man at the distance Of
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow In
field near that capital AIS yards
against the wind. The secretary Of
the ambassador on hearing the ex.
pressions of surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present. said the sui.
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance of modern days
but pillar standing on a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots ranging
up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainslie,
British ambassador to the Sublime
Porte, recorded that in 1898 he was
present when the sultan shot an arrow
972 yards.-Washington Star.
