While nothing has been said concerning the Pickens County Fair, the committee has been hard at work making arrange ments to give the people of the county the best time they have ever had at a public gathering. Plans have been somewhat changed this year, and those in charge are endeavoring to fur nish as many free shows and general all-'round amusement as possible, converting the fair into a sort of general rejoicing and merry-making-a sort of gala week, so to speak. Of course, there will be shows for which a small admission will be charged, and every one should bring a little change along with which to see the wonderful exhilbition of Wild West lassooing and riding of bucking horses and the like which will be on hand. The shows for which adiis sion will be charged will be np to-date, clean and first-class in every respect, and will be vell Worth t h sinal cost if adiis Sion. Aniong the fre attractions will be the daily balloon ascen sion and daring parachute leap therefrom. Races will be held taily-trot ting and running- and a 1)irse will be awarded to the winner of each race. There will also be a number of minor attractions, but the main feature will be the daily exhibition of high- 4 walking by Jack Taylor, wvho is unques tionably one of the boldest and most daring high-wire perform ers in the United States, He will perform upon single wire running from the two tallest buildings in Pickens, in the pres ence of all. Let everybody conme to the fair. It is free foi: all, and you are all invited. It is your fair, and gotten up for the benefit of the people of Pickens connty, and every man, woman and child in the county should feel that they have a right to be there, and be there they should. We hope that no man in the county will be so selfish as to leave his wife and1 children at home wvith this opportunity of witnessing this wvonderful event within their reach. If he will only take the trouble to bring them to Pickens on one or more days of the Fair. Everybody wvho comes will go home well satisfied after three days of perfect enjoyment. Remember the dates-October 3, 4 and 5-Tuesday, Wednes day andl Tr1lsday. There will be several br'ass bands on hand to furnish music' throughout the three days. FERTILIZER PREMIUMS.

Dispatch: "Judge Bob Peebles has for somle time exemplified that no one can run his court but him self,and he is now showing that if tiere is to be any bitter com nent, or any severe criticism, he can also attend solely to that. "Ad Judge Peebles can in dulge in some sharp remarks, too, although we do not always agree with him. For instance, wve never will agree with his re. peated caustic censure of jurors, for various reasons that we have recited several times al ready, and which include the fact that a court has no right to give jurors the privilege of doing something it is going to 'cuss' them out for doing, and the further fact that it is not right for a judge to take advan tage of men who (dare not even murmur. "According to the Goldsboro Argus, Judge Peebles' latest ex. ceptional move is in behalf of the protection of witnesses, and in that position we are heartily and everlastingly with hiis honor. "There is too much brow beat ing of witnesses by some law yers, and frequently unjust crit icism is heaped on the heads of witnesses, and slurring remarks madle about them, simply be cause they happen to testify on the other side: and, in nine cases out of ten, they were acci dental witnesses of the affair at the bar. "Judge Peebles recently pre sided at the Wayne county court, and the Goldsboro Argus tells that when a lawyer got bitter at a wvitness' expense, Judge Peebles called him (down, saying: 'You may be allowed to (10 this in some courts, but you ent ab~use a witness in my 'ourt.' Judge "'Bob"' Peebles is right, anid lie is going to ffnd that his stand in this matter will make him the most popular judge North Carolina has.

T the time of this study Daniel had been long in service, wise and faithful in his adminis tration of the government en ;rusted to him. He had seen the Babylonian Dynasty perish. In its )lace name the empire of the ledes * knd Persians. By these also Daniel's grand character was recognized-his3 oyalty to principle, his faithfulness is a public servant, his obedience to 7od and the principles of righteous less.

Morning. noon anid night he re membered his God and his vows of faithfulnes to Him and called to mind the gracious promises respect ing the Holy Land, that it would yet be the center of the whole earth anid of God's holy people; that eventually, through these, Divine blessings would be extended to every nation, people and tongue. Unquestionably the best men and women in the world are those who pray, and pray regularly, who bow the knee, as did Daniel. Unquestionably? it is impossible to live a consecrated life in neglect of prayer. What would Daniel have been without his prtaying time! How would his loyalty to prin ciple have maintained itself in the midst of corruption had it not been for his communion with his Maker? To the Christian this privilege is still further enhanced by a realization that "We have an Advocate with the Fa tiher, Jesus Christ, the Righteous." ,ehovah Sent His Angel The conspirators were on the look out.

The ,matter was laid before the king. King Darius felt himself bo un d hand and f oo t Daniel in the Lion'. Den, a ni d ensnared trapped. All day he sought means whereby lie could avert the conse (luenices of his royal mlandate, but found none. lie assured Daniel that ). he believed hIs God was able to de liver himn. Wh'lat a beautiful testimony to the uprightness of D~aniei's lifel D~aniel was east into the lion's den. That night, we are told, was one of great distress to the kcing, Hie could think only of his faithfui oflicer, the tioble man so unrighteously treated.

His joy of J ieart was great wheni lie learned that ie was sti! safe, that his Godl had( ;ent Ils angel to stop the lions' nouths. Daniel was soon~ lifted from lie p~it. The king now made another leeree-that those counselors who had hils sought the life of a faithful man hould themselves he cast into the len of lions; and this, irW their~ ease. neant destruct ion, as the result pbroved.
