that at least enough of them have
devoted attention to hogs, cstlle, *heep
and goat* to make a vary creditable
showing. A* a matter of fact, the ex
clusive cotton farmer ha* no place at
the Trl-f'ounty Fair. With other ag
ricultural exhibits there are shown two
or three exceptionally fine stalks of
cotton, and some fine cotton seed are
on exhibition, but the agricultural ex
hibits a* a whole are a denial of any
lmpre*«lon that the "ridge" section is
exclusively a cotton growing country
or that there are not llvc-at-homo
farmer* who havt made the most of
their opportunities.
Ham Keeps Crowds Away,
Ruin has kept the expected crowds
away, but the most progressive farm
ers of this section have contributed
to muka up as complete a county fair
a n will be found anywhere, and men
who have been here year after year
say that the exhibits, especially the
live stock, are better this year than
ever before.
Those who arc at the head of the
fair association decided to hold the
fair this year In spite of the depressed
condition* In the financial and busi
ness world, and more particularly this
year because of the necessity of tho
farmer who ha* been depending upon
cotton either eliminating or cutting
hi* cotton acreage and raising food

live without growing cotton or believes

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
This question and “How to Prevent
Colds” is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In charging seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in Scott’s Emulsion
quickly overcome cold* and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. It contains nature’s medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and it is
free from harmful drug* or alcohol.

“The American Clay Magazine” says:
“IT IS IMPORTANT that a sewer be properly constructed at the start and
none but VITRIFIED products used, so that after it is covered it can be relied upon to
continue to give faithful service. VITRIFIED pipe does not disintegrate and is proof
against sewer acids and gases. Other material is subject to destructive acids and gases
that are found in every sewer. The material goes to pieces and the germs of disease
spread to the soil, sowing contagion in the path of the sewer. No branch of municipal
work is of more vital importance or worthy of more care than the building of the buried
sewer.”

LINE, N. C.-IENN.
Washington, D. C.—The dispute be
tween North Carolina and Tennessee
over the exact location of the bouncuiry
line between these commonwealths was
taken up today by the supreme court
after five years preliminary proceedings.
The case Is one of the few original suits
instituted in the supreme court Itself
and attracted attention because of the
sovereignty of the parties at bar.
The search of the white man for tim
ber for advancing civilization formed the
basis of the dispute. A commission
marked the boundary line In 1821 when
only the Cherokee Indiana inhabited this
mountain wilderness. Neither state paid
much attention to the exact location of
the line until after tl:e civil war when
the first white man took up Ills abode.
By that day time had bedimmed the
markings and the action of the boundary
commission. Both states proceeded to
grant titles to the land, a tract of be
tween SO,OOO and 40,000 acres, and each
Insisted upon taxes being paid to it. At
times the land was Bold for taxes first
by one state and then the other.
