Fur Craft, shown by Hubert Wolfe I cf Route-2, attracted every passer - by during the two days, and com ments were heard from many, p'-ais ing neat work shown. Ulys Merrill for years county jail er, had the most unique display, a table top made from native poplar and walnut, so wrought together, n tinv piece of poplar and a tiny piece 1 if walnut that they defied counting.! There were several other interesting' places that held different people for] 'tine time among them being a din-! play of fancy work that has never j t>etn equalled in any show given; here. It was estimated by one lady! who is adept with the needle, that! there were at least ten times as! nueh actual work hours on display! n the small front corner of the luikling as one. could do in a life lime. Downstairs, in the livestock de partment lovers of purebred smiled with satisfaction as they viewed the increased numbers of purebreds onj display.

Carl Allison running in a close sec ond. It was a revelation, the many things that could be seen at the fair, nd mwny people looked, went away a sco something else, and back again and again to see the same thing.

Impossible To Enforce Prohibition Laws, Says Candidate For Repealers i Editor Transylvania Times: I shall thank you i> allow me to I state, through the columns of The l Times, iny position with reference to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and also rny past, as well as my present attitude towards the liquor question, which I hoptf to do very briefly. . In the first place I desire to stats that, as a candidate for dele gate favoring repeal of the Eigh teenth Amendment, I am not there-; by advocating the removal of proper and necessary control and regulation of the liquor business but rather be cause I am in favor of and ad vocate such necessary and proper regulation and control I am offer-_ i ing to become the candidate or dele-( ! uato for the forces advocating re I pedl- . . With reference to my personal at titude towards the whiskey question I respectfully ask that my record as a iaw-enforcement officer for snme( twelve years or longer in this coun-, ty be recalled and reviewed. With out thought of egotism or boasting I can say that, as an officer, I have cut up more whiskey stills, arrested and procured the conviction of more men for violation of the prohibition law, captured and poured out more boot-leg and blockade liquor than any single officer, past or present, this county has ever had. I -have faced unflinchingly — many times single-handed and alone—every type of liquor law violator including b'rcknders. boot-leggers, liquor run ners and racketeers, en masse; have captured their outfits, their vehicles ■ for conveying their wet cargoes, ar i i- ‘i:'d and procured the conviction i of many such men and carried them [r. rh'Mu gang’ of this and oilier counties whiie the hosts of gooil fits* ztns who arc now crying lYnm t>' housetops for you to vote against repeal were lounging supinely in tb> comforts of their cwn fireside? un mindful and unconcerned us to the efforts I was making to halt tin- «vile now so loundly complained ot. Shoulc they succeed in the present t-umpaig* they will be lending theii aid in help ing to perpetuute the o ils above ri forred to. After long experience and an hon est effort to enfovee the so-called prohibition law I long ago reached the conclusion that it is impractica ble and impossible of enforcement Ks effects on the youth of our cour try have been most deplorable ar. until we bring the manufacture a~ ' sale of whiskey and other iritoxica". ing beverages under gcveritmec regulation and control,—and I man tain that by no other method shah we be able to remove the liquor traf fie from the hands of the cut-throat and the racketeer,—we shall continm to see our men and boys- and onr women too, as for that matter, -able to buy upon the highways and by ways of our country the present concoctions called whiskey, but which are, in reality, only a blending of certain "poisons which, wh
