S?GGESSFOL FAIR
CLOSES AT GALAX
[Special to Tho Tlmes-Dlspatch.J
Gulax, Va., September s.?Midnight
Tuesday marked the close ot the moat
slicCcssful (air ev< r held on the Haitix
! grounds. The racing closed Friday uf
lernoon, hut the immense crowd re?
mained fdr the shews and other attrac
; tions. The two midways were crowded
, till a late hour at night and all the
j concession men wer? busy running
their games, showing their shows and
! distributing their w?ret. From the
beginnings the. weather was perfect.
A ligiit. spray-like shower settled the
; liust on thq first and second days, while
I fleecy clouds obscured the sun and
I modified what would otherwise have
been the most Intense heat of the sca
I oon. Perfect order prevailed from
the very beginning.
This Is the seventh consecutive an?
nual fair on these grounds, and In all
these years the only thing that has
ever borne the slightest semblance of
la tragedy was precipitated by Nanz
etta, an Indian medicine man, wh<> re?
fused lu submit to arrest four years
; ago for certain violations of his con?
tract with the Fair Association, and
which ended with the Indian being
stabbed and otherwise disfigured.
The attendance this year on the first
day was perhaps not far from 3.000,
on the second 10.000, while on Friday It
dropped ddwh to about 4.000. From
every standpoint this has been the
most successful lair in Its class in the
State. In fact, In its history.
The live stork exhibit this year was
good, though hot quite equal to pre?
vious years. The horticultural exhibit
was In every way beyond tho expecta?
tions of all who visited the fair.
The Galax Fair has been one of the
most potent factors In the awakening
and development of the counties of
Carroll and Grayson to a realization
of the nttural resources and possibili?
ties that are open to them along the
many and varied lines of agriculture.
Theie Is no other portion ot tho Slate
of Virginia that Within the last ten
years has made greater development
than this, and Judging from the signs
of the times the next ten years will
see still greler improvement.
On the first and serond nights splen
, did fireworks exhibits were given as
an additional attraction.

French Military School of St.

TS" IN? I PETER or Servla la In new|
trouble about Ills eldest s..n.
11.x-cro'wri Prince Georgo, whit
has become mentally unbalanced to
such an extent tb.it the general com?
manding the sri.at Prench military
school of St. Cyr (the Gallic West
Point) has announced that it would
be impossible to permit him to return
thither and resume his place among
the students at the close of the pres?
ent vacation. The prince, it may be
recalled, by reason "f his uhgovern
nble temper, w.is to*.cod to surrender
to his younger brother, Alexander, his
status as crown prince and his right
of succession to the Servian throno
as the only means of averting trial
for tbo death <>f his valet, whom he
had fatally Injured In a moment of
pdssl?n. Already then the opinion was
generally expressed that ho was
mentally irresponsible.
The stern discipline at St. Cyr and
the hazing to which he was subjected
at 'his famous school (where his fa?
ther, Kliit; Peter, graduated during
the reign of Nap.deon ill.), instead of
bcnellUSng his mind, seems to havn
unbalanced It still further. Ills BldC
de-camp, Major Pavlovltch; of the
Servian army, has been compelled to
leave him. nhd to return to Belgrade.
In order to avoid personal violence,
and how as the prlnde absolutely de?
clines to return to Servla, King Pe?
ter has dispatched his principal phy?
sician, Dr. Nlcolaievltch. and several
other doctors and attendants to
bring him home, r.olens volens. as a
lunatic If necessary. The King has
Interrupted his euro at the b.iths or
Arandjelovatz and has returned In
haste to Belgrade to talto the neces?
sary steps for placing his first-born
uivrer restraint.
It seems a pity, under the circum?
stances, that tie- King did not find it
possible to Intern his son in some

The general, when first I made his
acquaintance, in 1S75, was living at
Tokio with the rank of Captain of ar?
tillery, as a member of that picked
mission of Trench army officers, who.
In response to a pressing request of
tie hit.. Mikado, had been lent by the
r< public for a term of years to Ja?
pan for the purposi of organizing her
army on European lines. They found?
ed at Tokio a musketry school, a train?
ing school for noncommissioned of?
ficers, an arsenal, a school of pyro?
technics and a tnanufactury of small
arms, besides training officers and
men In European military tactics,
discipline and drill.
It Is gene: ally understood that the
training of the Japanese army Is de?
rived from Germany, but this Is not
the case, for, notwithstanding the
French defeat by the Germans in
1870-71, the late Emperor, after the
most careful consideration, decided
two years later that It was French
officers that tho development of his
army required, and the French mlll

that, In order to marry her on a foot?
ing of equality, instead of morgana

prerogatives of it prlnco of a (sover?
eign house and received from tho late
I Emperor William tho rank of an or

of Count von Noer, this being the
j name of a csstlo belonging to the
family of Settles, wig -Holstein In North

she became the second wife of the
Kalserin's uncle. Prince Frederick, tho,
elder, of Schleswig-Holstein. It was
only on tho understanding that there
should bo no question of a morgana?
tic union; so, in order to marry her,
the prince sacrificed (as his son by
his ilrst marriage afterwards did) his
rank as a prince of the blood and be?
came an ordinary Austrian noble, re?
ceiving from his friend. Emperor

prevailed cat; hardly appreciate tho ex?
tent of tho grev'ous drought this Im?

though ther^ havo been local showers
occasionally, these have been over a
limited area, and generally the rains
havo been meagre. Not Since last May
has Lynchburg experienced a general
rain, and In tho past six weeks the
precipitation as shown by the wcath
er station horo Iihs not been more
than Hit Inch and a half, and these
havo been In dashing storms of a few
minutes' duration. There haa been
less thunder storms hero this year
tt:an probably over before.
By reason of these conditions, the
corn crop Is a failure, excepting in
several limited areas, and tho tobacco
crop will hardly be half a yield. Pas?
tures have disappeared, and In eome
sections, although the rain won slight?
ly over tho normal up to July, the
