Prizes for individual and collec-

with the Department of Agriculture
at Washington. The first year only
ten counties exhibited. Since then the
exhibits have grown in number and in
excellency until last year fifty two
counties made complete exhibits of
farm products This year, on account
of ruling of the Department of Agri-
culture. its agents and demonstrators
Will not be allowed to make exhibits
at the fair. The Fair Association,
however, has asked the demonstra-
ton bureau to End it's assistance to
counties desiring to make exhibits in
collecting and preparing the same and
the bureau has graciously expressed
Its Willingness to do everything in its
power to aid IN this connection.
The Fair Association with just
pride calls attention to- the fact that
the last Legislature, realizing the great
scope and usefulness attained by the
State Fair. contributed the sum of
$4,000 year for two years to the
fair to be used In prizes to he offered
in the name of tho State in agricul-
ture, horticulture, cattle, sheep and
poultry. This makes the fair in name

KERR'S Death" PROVES
TO Be A FALSE ALARM

A report which was spread broad
cast yesterday to the effect that B. G..
Kerr, thirty-five years old. a Lynch
burg travelling salesman. ended his
life Wednesday night In the James
River by leaping from Mayo's Bridge.
proved to be false alarm.
Detective Sergeant John Wiley, who
was assigned to the case, yesterday
ascertained that Kerr Ia very much
alive and is now in Hopewell. The
Of Kerr was reported
to the Richmond police Wednesday
night by n man who gave his name
as w. II. Carroll, and who claimed
to be travelling for a shoe concern
in Baltimore. The man told the po-
lice that they were returning to Rich
mond from the Southside when Kerr
suddenly leaped into the water. He
also told the police that he was regis
tered Mt Murphy's Hotel.
When Sergeant Wiley went to Muir
phys In an effort to get an intervie W
with the man with reference to the
suicide. he found that no such man was
registered there He later tried every
other hotel in Richmond with the same
result. AT this time Sergeant Wiley
began TO grow suspicious and wire1
to Hopewell. where Kerr has been en-
ployed by the Dupont Company for
the past few days. Last night he re-
eeived telegram from Kerr him
self, declaring that he was In the pow
der town and very much alive.
Just why such n report was put
It's a-snystefy to-thc police, and
Sergeant Wiley is now making a
thorough investigation into the MAJ
ter, Every effort Ia being made to
locate the mysterious Mr.. Carroll"
and II he is found he will have TO do
lot of explaining. The police be-
lieve that the name given by the man
who reported the suicide was a fcti-
tious one, but Sergeant Wiley has a
fairly good description of the man and
believes that he will be able to locate
him.
Two of Kerr's brothers. s. II. and A.
y Kerr. called at Police Headquarters
last night to learn OF the details OF the
reported death
