HAVE STABBED WOMAN IN
THAT GEORGIA TOWN.

Upon warrant sent here from
Blakely, Ga, by the sheriff of Early

Charles Carter, was found here and
placed under arrest last night by
deputies from the sheriff's office. The
negro is being held until a Georgia
official can reach here to return him
to the scene of his alleged offense.
Whether his alleged victim was
white or black was not learned def
initely last night, although the ne
gro admitted that he did have some
trouble with a woman of his own race.
Blakely, Ga, is the scene of recent
race troubles, when it was reported
that several negroes had murdered a
white man, and in return mobs, said
to have been composed of enraged
white men had pursued the trouble
some blacks, driving some of them, it
was said, across into the state of
Florida, some of them having been
reported going in the direction of the
town of Portland, Fla. Carter said
he had his trouble about the first part
of December.

Clarence Bur1neister, one of the

ARGUMENT OVER MACHINES.
Auditor James Macgibbon told the
board that the road machines recent
ly purchased were not worth the
money spent for them and therefore
the county is the loser. The auditor
spoke in clear and distinct tone Of
voice, too. Commissioners Tracey and
Davis quickly responded and for
few moments the situation was
rather interesting.
The argument started when the
agent representing the company that
recently sold the county, or Bather
placed with the county on trial, a
road machine, priced at S6,125, APP
peared before the board and wanted

to know what report to make 20 his
company about the machine. The
I'clerk stated that the machine was
not worth the price by at least So 900.
Naturally, the salesman defended his
machine. Commissioner Davis re-
marked that he thought Mr.. Macgib
bon should have told the board this
sooner, to which the clerk replied
that he did not know what the board
was buying Commissioner Tracey
then stated that bids had been adver-
tised for and that the entire trans
action had been conducted in the
open and that the public had been
invited to witness a demonstration OF
the road machine.
"Well, I am not the public" re-
torted Mr. Macgibbon.
The argument grew heated and
Clerk Macgibbon stated that II ne
could not furnish a better machine
than the one in question for $4,000
less money he would eat both OF
them. He stated that he would leave
the proposition open and would prove
it at any time he was called upon TO
do so.
The White truck, recently pur-
chased, was also brought into the
discussion and Mr. Macgibbon made
the statement that he could build a
better one than that sold to the
county for a hundred dollars less
The clerk said that he was tired OF

I believe the fair of 1915, while
strictly an Escambia county fair, was
one of the best we have had. Every
department was above the average,
except the agricultural, and there are
several reasons for the exhibits to be
below those of previous years; one
of the main ones being we only drew
from our own county.
I would also like to report that IN
addition to the amount shown In my
report of the item of e305.41, we have
paid out for expenses of the 1914
fair, various amounts shown on my
books, totaling S530.75, which will
make a grand total of S936.16, eX-
penses paid on 1914 fair.
I wish to thank each and every
member of the board, and also any one
who in any way aided to make the
fair such a success; also the superin-
tendents of the different departments,
but most especially do | think we owe
a debt of gratitude to the newspapers
of our city and county, for their many
kind notices, for without them our far
would not have been the success 1t
was.
There was a total paid admissions
of 1864 at the gate.
will have more to say to you when
the matter of the fair of 1916 comes

DIRECTORS OF FAIR
ASSOCIATION HEARD
EXCELLENT REPORT
SECRETARY LILLARD, AT MEET
ING WIZ Oh WAS HELD YES
TERDAY, TELLS BOARD IN RE-
SUME OF RECENT FAIR.

In a report which was read to the
board of directors of the Escarnbia
County Fair Association, which was
held yesterday, an excellent showing
was made. Not only did the report
show that obligations coming over
from the previous years fair had been
taken up, but at present there is
cash balance of $110.15 in balnk This
viii be cut down just a few dollars
after certain little matters are set
tied up, but all present yesterday
readily admitted that the purely coun-
ty fair was O success which even the
majority of them did not expect. A
total of more than $4,000 paid admis-
sions were registered at the gate.
Figuring several hundred more as
omplimentaries, concessionaries, ETC.,
it is believed that fully $4,000 were
attracted to the Escambia county fair.
This has had the effect of squirting
on the efforts of the directors to even
greater attempts for the 1916 attrac-
tons, more of which will be discussed
later when the board meets.
The meeting of the directors was
well-attended yesterday afternoon az
o'clock, and in addition to other
routine matters, the secretary read
his report, a copy of which is as fol-
lows:

Hays Normal School Has Travelling
Glass Room for Students.

Hays, Kan, Sept. ga travelling
classroom is the latest equipment
which the Fort Hays Kansas Normal
school has installed. Because he
could not bring the farms of western
Kansas to the school, Prof. E. B. Mat
thew, head of the department of agri-
culture, is going to take the school to
the farms.
This travelling classroom is a big
convertible truck made especially for
the school Professor Matthew has
made arrangements so that every farm
within ten miles from Hays will be
open for laboratory purposes to the
students of the school. 1t will bring
all the farms of western Kansas with
in observation distance.
Actual conditions as they obtain on
real farms as run by successful west
ern Kansas farmers will be taught and
studied in this way The truck will
be made to pay for itself by charging
jitney rates of the students.

FIND ovERsUPPLY OF FISH.
Warden Expects More Bass and Crap
pie Than Can Be Placed.

Pratt, Kan, Sept. CIV. c. Teg-
meier, state fish and game warden,
expects TO find more bass and Graphic
in the hatchery than can be distrib-
uted this fall and next spring, and
plenty of blue gills and all kinds of
cat.
The fish car has just been overhaul
ed at Topeka, and is here waiting for
the first load, which will be sent out
the first of the week. From now on,
fish will be distributed as rapidly as
possible. The cat and blue gills
spawned rather late. says Mr.. reg
meier. but have made good growth
thanks to the muddy water, which
brought in tremendous amounts of
feed.
The bass and crappie ponds were so
thick until recently that the little fish
could not be seen, but there is every
indication now of a large crop. Con-
tinued cool weather will enable big
loads of fish to be taken out and kept
in good condition.

ON TRADE RUN TO PRATT
Larned Boosters, as Strong, Invade
City to Advertise Fair.

Pratt, Kan, Sept. 26.-The Pratt
Commercial club was host to seventy
five representatives of the Larned
Commercial club and from several Diff
ferent cities and surrounding country.
The Anthony and Northern railroad
ran a special from Larned to Pratt and
the cities of Hays, Liebenthal, Alex
ander, Rush Center and Lacrosse were
all represented.
The excursion was made up princi-
pally of farmers in the different town
ships along the proposed line north of
Larned.
1t was one of the most enthusiastic
crowds that ever passed over the new
road. They arrived in Pratt and after
dinner were taken in charge by the
Pratt business men and taken for a
ride over the city and to all parts of
the fish hatchery grounds.
The Larned Boosters advertised
their fair which begins Wednesday

PICTURE is A MARVEL
Goods Country and the Woman" At
tracts Pleased Crowds to Orpheum.

The "ohs" and '-ahs'' heard in all
parts of the Orpheum last night indi-
Gated both the unusual trend of the
plot in Goods Country and the Wom-
an and the fascinating scenery of the
woods of the northwest.
1t is one of the most Turing photo
plays seen in Topeka in months. And
as an eight-part super-feature it is
greatly improved by the appropriate
music of the ten-piece orchestra under
the direction of l. FeltenStein.
Probably as a play it is too remote
in possibilities to entrance an audi
ence. But in acting, scenery and
photography it is a moving picture
wonder.
The story is woven around a family
in the Canadian forests. The disgrace
of an old love affair hangs over the
mother. The fathers knows nothing
of the circumstances owing to the
daughters sacrifice in claiming the
unwelcome child. The loyalty of an
Indian servant, the snow storms in the
woods, the dogs and battle around a
log cabin demand admiration.
The theater was crowded for two
performances last night. Matinee to-
day and tomorrow and evening shows
including Wednesday night.
