Times of Holding County Fairs:
The midsummer months are most adj
vantageous to the largest number of
exhibitors. This should be a par
amount consideration in fixing the date
for q territorial fair. For a county
fair, however. an almost equally i'm
portant consideration is that OF the
probable attendance The date should
fall upon legal holiday, or at time
when it is convenient for the larger
employers of labor to make a holiday.
II the county fair becomes a recogniz.
ed institution IN all of the counties it
would seem desirable to hold the vari-
GUS fairs at the same season of the
year with short intervals between
each one.
Locations and Buildings: The 1oca.
ton should be accessible to the gem.
eral public at reasonable expense, and
should provide plenty of space Every
possible precaution should be adopt
ed against Noyercrowding exhibits or
visitors. In the Hilo district rooted
buildings are absolutely necessary for
the protection of exhibits and the com
fort Of visitors. Other more fortunate
districts may find that tents are suffi-
cient for these purposes.

Relief From Pain
Brings Happiness
Substantial Farmer is
Now Happy Man.
Recommends Tanlac.

1t has been said that health and hap
piness 90 hand and hand. After much
suffering, when relief is experienced,
there is no wonder that one experience
happiness and Joy. 1t is in the wou-
derful story told by J. c. Cain, one OF
the sturdy farmers of Westminster.
near the dividing lines of the States of
South Carolina and Georgia. that we
are given 4 beautiful example of this
return of Joy when health is again
made better.
Mr.. Cain wrote recently TO the State
agent for Tanlac at Columbia volun-
tary testimonial Of. 1'anlac. His ex-
periences are best told in the following
letter, which he wrote:
Il feel under obligations 20 send You
q correct testimonial! for Tanlac.
Il have been sick for the past five
years. stayed bilious and sick a. my
stomach ell the time. Nothing I ate
agreed with me and nothing I took
did me any good. The doctors here
announced that had gall stones and
gravel stones. My kidneys gave me
severe pain all the time.
Before began to take Tunlac it
was a drag for me to get out every
morning to feed nv stock Now I can
get up and call my wife to get break
fast. and by the time I get into the
yard l catch myself whiStling and 3
singing the sweet songs I used to sing.
My mules recognize my voice and be-
Gin to bray and to knicker, knowing
that am coming to give them their
food.
"Before began taking Tanlac my
wife would ask me if I wanted 10 go
with her to preaching on Sunday
morning. I would tell her, No" I
didn't feel like going. Now l get up
every Sunday morning and ask my
wife if she wants 10 go with me to
preaching.
"Before I began to take Tanlac il
was drag for me to 60 TO the field,
and sometimes had TO tell the boys
and show the other hands what to do.
Now can get up every morning and
eat hearty breakfast and drink my
coffee, loo, and.iJ doesn't burt me, and
can 90 to the field and 10 as much
wor! as any hand have got"
1t is just such statements from cltl-
zens Of various valks of life like Mr..
Cain, who hold the highest esteem OF
the community in which they live,
that have prompted others to buy the
great preparation. and therefore the
makers of Tanlac are indebted 10 these
persons for their testimony.
Alter sending the above testimony.
Mr.. Cain sent additional testimony and
saws among others things: Il can cut
wheat all day long now. something l
have 90, done in five years"

Soldiers to Vote IN Primary.

After a somewhat iovolved ahd pro-
ionged discussion the State Democratic
executive committee finally accepted
the report OF a special committee ap-
pointed TO prescribe ways and means
for the voting of the members Of the
National Guard OF the State during the
primary, August % The question
proved to be complicated one, and
the committee meeting lasted from
noon, when it was called to order in
the library OF the state house, until
3:45 with recess of an hour for dinner
The plan agreed on provides in brief
that an enrolment be sent TO the cap
tain of each COMPANY for the enroll
ment of the members Of his company
of his command who are residents OF
the county from which the company
comes. \ similar book shall be given
to the regimental commanders in which
men who are members Of companies,
but not residents of the county from
which the COMPANY comes, may be reg
istered. On the Gay OF the primary
enlisted men and officers will vote in
boxes provided az the company head
quarters or the regimental headQuart-
ers. Each company or regimental COM
manGer is authorized to appoint three
managers and a clerk for each polling
place. The results shall be forwarded by
registered mail and repeated by tele-
graph, to the county chairman. In case
officials are chosen by the primary in
smaller divisions then the county
voters are TO be requested to indicate
accordingly at theirregistration so that
suitable tickets may be provided.

CATCHES MONEY BY PHONE
When Bill Blows Out Of Window Hotel
Guests Quick Wit and Action
Saves IL.

The quick wit of guest in the
Bellevue-Stratford saved him goods
sized banknote, Philadelphia dis
patch to the New York Sun says. In
his room on the thirteenth floor, Broad
street front, he was handling some
money near an open window. a sud-
den gust Of air lifted one Of the bills
and sent it through the window open
ing.
Without waiting to see what Woue
become Of it he sprang to the teie-
phone and told the house operator
what had happened. In tWinkllng
she OWNED the remedy and called
James Dinsmore at the baggage desk,
which is located just inside the main
Broad street door. He took in the sit
uation Immediately, though he after
ward admitted he never had met quite
o similar state Of affairs, and inside
Of two seconds he was telling Mike
Quinn, porter, about the incident
Mike was just as fast as the opera
tor and the baggage clerk He dashed
out to Broad street and looked up.
Sure enough, he saw the bill zigzag-
ging its way down. It was passing the
fifth floor, directly over the marquee.
It swerved out, however, and fell into
his waiting hands.

Doctor Has 10000 Patients

Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, who is IN
charge Of a division Of the hospltai
unit that has been sent to France oy
Harvard university, has been termed
'sthe doctor with the biggest practice
in the world" says the London
Globe
The phrase is accurate enough, for
his work as missionary among the
fishermen in the northwest Atlantic
has made him responsible for the ply
steal as well as the spiritual welfare
of some 10000 men. AS medical su-
perintendent, of the Mission to Deep
Sea Fishermen "Grenfell of Lab-a-
dor" has in fact been preacher, mis-
sionary, physician and surgeon com
bined, and on one occasion he acted
as judge.
He has worked 20 years in the
North sea and Labrador, founded four
hospitals, an orphanage, a co-opera-
tive institute and effected real and
benefcent transformation in the life
of his deep-sea fishermen.

HE'S POssUM OF SNAKE TRIBE
Spreading Adder Seeks to Terrify, but
Really Is Nothing More Than
Big Bluff.

He's a sly creature, this snake. When
he's discovered and trapped he'll make
such a hullabaloo about it, with his
kissing and contortions. that If you're
not wise to the fact that he's only
blufing you're sure to be frightened,
says the Philadelphia North Ameri'
can. II you're acquainted with him,
however, and refuse to run, he'll give
one final twist and roll over on his
back, Just as though he had made up
his mind to die and save you the trou'
BILE of killing him. But don't be fooled
He's only playing possum. He's the
spreading adder.
His tricks have resulted in all sorts
Of wild stories about him. Many peo'
pie believe he's poisonous, because
he spreads his head out fiat and Kisses
when he's disturbed. AS a matter OF
fact he couldn't hurt you If you
picked him up by the head. He's only
bluf6ng when he Kisses.
Then there's another story about the
spreading adder to the effect that ne
will bite himself and fall over dead.
This belief comes from his habit OF
playing possum when he sees he's cor
nered and can't escape.
The spreading adder is about thirty
inches long, reddish-brown and
blotched and spotted. He lives in dry
woods and on sandy hiilsides, and eats
toads and insects. He's also called
the blowing viper or the hog-nosed ad-
der

ROYAL VISIT WORKED WONDER
Wounded Italian Officer Recovered
Speech in His Surprise at Seeing
King Beside Him.

The king Of Italy has been respon-
sible for one of the most extraordi-
nary occurrences Of the war. His.
majesty has been constant in his Wis
its to the wounded soldiers, and one
day he arrived quite Unexpectedly at
q certain field hospital.
Among the patients there was
young lieutenant who had been strlck-
en- quite dumb by the bursting OF an
Austrian shell. The poor fellow was
lying in bed feeling very miserable,
when; all Of a sudden, he glanced up
and found the king standing by ms
side.
In moment he stared up in amaze:
nert at the unexpected honor, and
shouted at the top Of his voice: -
"His majesty the king" and burst
into a food Of tears.
The emotional shock, coming as 1t
did, so unexpectedly, had completely
restored his power Of speech, and
even the king himself was overcome
by emotion at this extraordinary mir
acle.-Exchange.

To Test Galic2-a-Montt Law.

W. F. Gaines, of Charleston, has filed
in the United States district court a
bill of complaint against the Baltimore
and Carolina Steamship Co, seekisg a
writ OF Injunction and such other dam.
ages as the court may determine, and
also temporary injunction to force
she transportation company to deliver
TO him barrel containing 80 pipts of
beer. The hearing for temporary in
junction has been granted for July II.
The case resolves itself into a test OF
the legality of the gallon & month"
act of South Carolina.
The plaintiff states that in March OF
this year he ordered so pints OF beer
from somewhere in Maryland, and had
it shipped via the Baltimor> md Caro-
lima Steamship Co.. to Charleston. I'm
Ger the provisions of the act OF the
South Carolina legislature, the com
mon carrier refused 10 deliver the 20
pints, as being in excess OF the gallon
allowed to be delivered to one person.
The company also said in reply to =
statement of the plaintiff that he would
have such wines, liquors and ales as he
desired for his personal use shipped via
the defendant company, that it would
feel itself compelled to refuse delivery
of the goods if the amount was in en-
cess OF a gallon month.
The plaintiff alleges that thereby his
rights as a private citizen OF the Unit
ed States under the verms OF the con-
stltution have been infringed upon,
and he has been deprived OF both his
liberty aud property. He claims that
the act OF the South Carolina legis!a-
ture is directly opposed to commercial
intercourse, and is an infringement OF
the constitution.
It is stated bv the plaintiff that the
action OF the defendant will make him
suffer to the extent of fully s.. 1000. The
amount OF the wines, ales and liquors
of which we would be deprived would
amount 70 more than $4,000. A writ
of Injunction against the defendant
company is sought with temporary
Injunction for delivery OF the goods on
hand. Geo F. Mon Kolnitz, Jr., is at
torney for the plaintiff
