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 stuff*, home products and hogs and raltle A Splendid Obj Set Lessen.

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. 14-57 Scott & Uowne. lUorunli.kl. N.

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.” FACTORY AT CAMPANIA, GEORGIA ifjgl RALLY DAY AT ST. JOHN’S. Ht.

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. CONFIRM ARSENAL FIRE.
