for the prompt measures taken

same, a- the foundation, which iias
been under way for some time, is the
most particular part of the structure.

points, hut before he had swung very
far round the circle he beard so much
of Greensboro that he concluded to
come back here and see what was going
on. He says the Gate City is on the
lips of people everywhere and that
everyone seems to look upon it as one
I of the most promising and progressive
business centers of the South.
Reports from the registrars through-out
Hie county indicate a light legist ra-tion
as compared with former years,
j All the reports have not been made,
I hut there are enough to indicate that
| there will he a considerable falling off
! in the aggregate vote. Of course the
| failure of the negroes to register under
the new law accounts for a large pro-portion
of the decrease, but there are
j numbers of w bite men who have failed
I to register. Ill Greensboro there are
I 1,117 names on the registration hooks,
i 47 of them representing negroes. This
would indicate that about 200 white
men had failed to register. The total
registration for Morehead and Giliuer
township, in which the city is located,
could not be learned yesterday. In
High Point township 1,19a names are
registered.

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR.
The Exhibits and Attendance Unequalled
in the History of the Association.
In the bestowal of proper credit for
the efforts that combined to make the
Central Carolina fair the best by far in
the history of the fair association WOare |
at a loss to know where to begin. First
of all the weather man thinks lie had
as much to do with the success of the
fair as anyone, and he certainly is en-titled
in special consideration, because
the weather from start to finish was
perfect. The winds blew neither hot
nor cold, and the sun rose and set from
day t > day in cloudless skies. The
farmers of the state did their share and
more. From their harns and store-houses
came a wealth of fruits, grains
and vegetables that were lit for kings.
The good women, without whom the
world would be a bleak wilderness,
surpassed all previous efforts in behalf
of the fair. Their skill in cookery, in
fancy work, in decoration was never
displayed to better advantage. The
'stockmen, the poultrymeii, the horse-men,
the merchant, the manufacturer
all these and more come in for a lib-enOL>
harc of credit, and at last we find
ourselves paying tribute to the manage-ment
of the fair. The association is
com 1 osed of men v. iio can com pi el and
vast enterprises. From President Cone
to the humblest laborer on the grounds
I there was evidence of the utmost har-mony
and unity of purposes in striving
lor the common giMMl of the association.
Secretary King, upon whom the real
responsibility rested, was the busiest
man in seventeen slate- for weeks prim
to the fair. His lahms are yet far from
ended. With an able force of assist-
| tants. including Mr. U.S. Petty, who
has done effective work for the fair for
two or three year-, he brought order
out of w hat seemed to be chaos the day
before the fair, and kept everything go-ing
smoothly until the close. To Mr.
King is due unstinted piai-c He has
ahlv demonstrated ids ability and fit-ness
for diicctiug the destinies of such
entei prises.
The simple statement that the entries
In: the fair this year were more than
double those of lasl year, and we had a
good fail then. v. ill convey sniiie idea
of the development of certain features
of the fair. Much of the increase was
in [he cattle, poultry and farm products
departments, where it showed to the
hesl advantage. Kv cry stuck pen 011
the grounds was in use by exhibitors,
and yet the enlarged capacity of the
sheds was insufficient to meet the de-mands.
ThebigncM building in which
the p'liilti.v and faun products were
exhibited was altogether inadequate to
even present needs. Were it doubled
I in si/e the coming year it would not
be too large.
Thai the finest exhibit ol poultry
ever shown in the state was to he seen
here last week is an undisputed fact.
The farm products were a revelation.
We will venture I he assertion that half
the people in (luiil'oul don't know w hat
can be raised right hcreaf home. About
the grounds were a number ofthreshers,
corn shredders, feed cutters, etc., in
opeiaii.iu. Traction engines furnished
power for these machines. Another
feature of the outdoor display was a
I thousand dollars'worth of stock from
Mi. John A. Young's nurseries. On
the last day of the r»iir he demonstrated
how such -lock w as [lacked and shipped.
In the main hall, down stairs, were
! displays of w agons, buggies, carriages,
labor saving farm implements, etc.
Twenty or thirty busiuess bouses were
; represented there. I'p stairs there was
a bewildering display of merchandise,
art, needlework, cakes, pies, canned
fruits, jellies, etc. Every booth on the
I floor of the immense building was fill-ed
with something that appealed to
the eye, the ear or the palate of the
throng that swept by unceasingly.
Here again were evidences of the fact
that the fair buildings, commodious as
they seem when viewed from the out-side,
are yet unsullicient to meet the
increasing demand for space. Among
the exhibitors on this floor were K. M.
Andrews and C. O. Forbis, furniture:
J.J. Stone & Co., .stationery; li. C.
Bernau, jewelry; Peebles Bhoe Co. and
.1. B. Matbis iV. Co., shoes; Patterson
Bros., groceries; Mrs. Ned Ireland
Thacker, millinery, Kceley Institute;
Southside Hardware Company, ranges
and builder's supplies; Greensboro
Table and Mantel Co., tables; Southern
Import and Commission Co., carpets,
maps and window shades: Richardson
Drug Co., drugs and proprietary ar-ticles;
McCiamrock Mantel Co., man-tels:
Udell Hardware Co., mantels,
guns, cutlery, etc.; Gate City Candy
Factory, candies; State Normal and
[industrial College; State Institution
for the Blind; A. D. Jones & Co.. mo-
1 sical instruments; Carolina Art Co. and
Wesley White, oil paintings; It. G.
I White, L. F. Hanes and S. L. Alder-man,
photography; H. T. Hicks & Co.,
medicine. There were also booths for
the sale of endless novelties gathered
from all parts of the world. Hours
could he profitably spent there viewing
the exhibits, and a newspaper sketch
can convey but a faint idea of all that
w as to he seen.
The racing feature of the fair attract-ed
the usual attention. There were
plenty of flyers to interest the crowd,
and line weather and good condition
of the track left nothing to be desired
by the lovers of ''fast hosses."
The attendance at the fair was one of
the most gratifying features. The
crowds increased from day to day until
the climax was reached Thursday,
when from eight to ten thousand people
were present. On that day the street
railway collected over ten thousand
fares, while thousands patronized the
■ Southern Kail way and street carriages.
Hundreds of vehicles from the country
were to he seen inside thegrounds. The
• best of order prevailed every day.
There was no obnoxious drunkenness
or rowdyism to mar the pleasure of
anyone. All in all the fair compared
• favorably with any ever held in the
state, and there were many people who
said it had never been excelled. In
the minds of the fair association it was
; tin- forerunner of greater thing income.
Rural Free Delivery Notes.
Rural free delivery route No. o for
Ureensboro was approved Monday by
Special Agent A. J. Knight, of the
l'ostotflce department. It traverses
the road leading dire-tly north from
the city to Uethsemane church, thence
west to Hillsdale, where it connects
with one of the routes leading out from
Siimmci lield. and returns to the city
by the mad passing "Liberty Oak,"
I the historical tree thai stands half a
mile east of the Battle (ironing About
four miles of the road leading to the
Battle Ground is covered by the route.
The jMistofflces at Rathboneand Dana-mora
will be discontinued when ser-vice
is established on this route, which
will serve about loO families.
In addition to the live route.- estab-lished
at Ureensboro two have been ap-proved
at Sumiuerfield, two at Stokes-dale,
one at High Point and one af
Climax. Another route which starts
at Liberty serves a considerable por-
' tion of (Jreene township, in this county,
making in all twelve mutes in Guil-ford.
Others are contemplated. All
the approved routes will he ill opera-tion
at an early date.
Hucomuga Mills Bring $23,000.
Mr. .1. C. Watkins, receiver, sold the
Hucomuga Mills at public auction
Monday, the purchasers being the
Messrs. Cone, for the sum of si:,(Kin.
Tbi- sale was made by the power con-ferred
in a decree entered by the Su-perior
court of Uuilfoi'd county on the
•Jliti of September in a cause therein
pending entitled L. W. Clark et als vs.
Hucomuga Mills. The property is sit-uated
near the southern corporate lim-its
of Ureensboro and includes the mill
building, looms, engines, boilers, four-teen
acres of land upon which is a
number of tenement houses: also a lot
of yarns, dye stuff, chemicals, linings,
mill supplies and fixtures necessary to
the operation of the mill. The prop-erty
was offered lirst in parts and then
a.- a w hole. Mr. .1. R. IVarce was the
auctioneer and the bid of the Messrs.
Cone will be reported to the court for
approval.
Take \ our Tax Receipts.
It will lie well for voters to take their
tax receipts to the polls next Tuesday
—election day. The law provides that
the poll-tax of all voters inust be paid
before a certain date, and to show the
receipt is the quickest way to convince
the pollholders that the tax has been
paid. It is possible to vote U|KUI affi-davit
that the law has beerr complied
with, but Ihat will cause delay and
confusion at the polls, and the sugges-tion
offered above is intended to avoid
such.

TOBACCO NOTES.
Items of Interest to the Grower, the Deal-er,
and the Manufacturer.
MAKKl-rr REFOBT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have not been as large as
they were for the previous week, due to
the fact that farmers have been busy
sowing wheat, and our fair has been in
progress and people have been seeking
pleasure instead ofsellingtobacco. The
tobacco for the week has not been fully
as desirable iu character as it'was for
previous weeks, but the price has stif-fened
uji some and is now fully as high
as it has been any time during this
season. The market is quite active on
lighter receipts.

Tex., "biliousness and a lame back had
made life a burden. I couldn't eat or
sleep and felt almost too worn out to

but they worked wonders. Now
I sleep like a top, can eat anything.
I have gained in strength and enjoy hard
work." They give vigorous health and
