As To Passing.

For the past three months one OF
the most constant visitors to the
office or the Photoplay Editor OF
The Times has been the highly
ornate tale OF how the manager OF
a theater in Glasgow. Scotland. got
rid OF the pass nuisance. Where the
story originated-or rather who sent
It in first-is lost in the dim per-
spectlve OF the yesterdays.
Persistently, consistently--mean-
ing by that with amazing repeti-
tion-the story has come In from
one Aim concern or another. Who
started 1t. no one knows. In order
however. here 1t is-this time from
the Essanay offices and told as an
anecdote of the appearance OF Henry
b. walthall. In The Misleading
Lady" 1t might just as well be
told as a Walthall story as in the
story or a Theda Barra story. 1t

On one OF the large stands in the

county agent in this county. Carter
county has been without an agent since
the first of the year, and Mr.. Bridges
comes here to accept the post if the
county commissioners can devise the
means to raise the amount necessary
by the government to be put up with
the fund donated by the government.
Mr.. Bridges has very high recon-
mendations from j. A. Wilson, state
agent, state superintendent r H. Will
son, and Charles Evans, president of
Kendall college, as to his qualifica-
tions, and about the only thing that
remains in the way of securing him
is the question of the county provid-
ing it's share of the fund for such pur-
poses. The board of county commits
sioners were invited to meet here yes
terday by Secretary West of the cham
Der of commerce, but for some reason
they failed to do so. They were called
by phone later and will be here this
afternoon if nothing prevents.
The government furnishes $7S0,OOO
of the amount necessary while the
county according to statements of
Mr. Ferguson can raise $500 more, the
balance of the fund necessary for up
keep of machine and balance of salary
will have to be provided for if Mr..
Bridges is secured. The salary asked
is $1,000 per year. Mr.. Ferguson stat
ed this morning that Carter county
would be securing most valuable
man in Mr. Bridges and was very
anxious that he take up the work here.
However, he has made several trips to
Carter county already and he wants a
definite answer one way or the other,
as there are four more counties that
would be glad to secure him.

PLANNING FOR

C0UNTYFA
BUILDINGS ARE FIRST CONSIDER
ALTON - THE SECRETARY HAS
PLANS WHICH lie BELIEVES
WILL SUCCEED.

The time is rapidly approaching
when the Chamber of Commerce and
the Business Mems association must
begin arranging for the buildings at
the fair grounds, where the first an
nual fair of the Carter County Fair
association will be held this fall.
At the big booster meeting to be
held in the tabernacle at the corner
Of Broadway and C streets, this will
be one of the principal things dis
cussed, although there are many 9th
ers to be taken into consideration.
The law authorizing free county
fairs prohibits the use of any of the
money derived by taxation from being
used in the erection of buildings and
the funds for this purpose will have
to be raised by subscription. Sec
retary West has several plans for
raising this money which will be pre-
ented at the proper time. The men,
bers of the association are all work
ing with a view of making this the
best fair in southern Oklahoma, and
the farmers throughout the entire
county are heartily cooperating with
them.
The track at the fair grounds is in
fairly good condition, and with a
very little work can be put in first
class shape This is a great asset
to the association, as it will not have
to go to the expene of building one.
