Something like a car load of cripples
swooped down on the town for fair
week. They are evidently making a

''help brother," whoever he is.

Col. John A. Barringer, attorney for
John Stanlield, the colored man ar-raigned
in MayorOsborn's courtTburs-day
afternoon for larceny, incurred the
wrath of the mayor by repeated objec-
; lions to the admission of hearsay testi-i
niony in the case and was lined $-•"> for
[contempt. Col. Barringer returned the
; fee paid by Stanlield, withdrew from
the case, and took an appeal from His
Honor's judgment. Judge McNeill
'. will pass on the case this week.
There was a meeting of the Republi-can
state executive committee here
Saturday afternoon. Those present at
the meeting were: Chairman Jeter
C. Pritchard, Secretary I). C. Pearson,
|E. W. Patrick, A. H. Slocumb, J. E.
' Fowler, Spencer Blackburn, '1'. D. De-witt,
Claudius Dockery. W.T.O'Biien.
W. A. Bailey, T. S. Rollins. D. Frank
Mebane, Collectors llarkius and Dun-can,
Judge W. P. Bynum and '/.. V.
Walser. Secretary Pearson said the
only business before the committee was
the arrangement of the state ticket so
that it would conform to the election
law. If the committee transacted any
other business he did not know it.
Hon. W. VV. Kitchin spoke to an
overflowing house at Proximity Thurs-day
night and to a good crowd at Tab-ernacle
Friday. At Proximity he laid
particular stress on the flimsy charges
preferred by his opponent, Mr. Patter-son,
who persistently refuses to meet
him on the stump, and utterly demol-ished
that worthy's claims. The can-didacy
of Mr. Patterson hasonly served
I to put Mr. Kitchin on his mettle, and
his efforts serve as a reminder of the
campaign in which he was pitied
against the Hon. Thomas Settle, the
most brilliant Republican debater in
the slate, and which ended with the
utter defeat of the young representa-tive.
An unknown woman from Virginia
came over last week to help J. W.
Wooily out of the serious difficulty in
which he finds himself. She is evi-dently
his wife, or one of his wives,
otherwise she would not hesitate to ac-knowledge
her relationship with him.
; She is bitter against the writer of the
ICovesvi'.le letter concerning Woody's
career, which recently appeared in
print, and would like mighty well to
learn the name of the author. The
shroud of curious mystery which sur-rounds
her identity is heightened by
the startling disclosures which she
threatens to make after the case is set-tled
in court. Woody wanted the
' newspapers to suppress any mention
of the woman's visit.
Mr. Eli J. Thacker, who until he was
incapacitated by sickness was superin-tendent
of the Southern Stove Works
I in Richmond, died of consumption last
i Wednesday at the home of his brother.
jMr.J.T. Thacker, on Cedar street. He
came to tireensboro some weeks ago in
the hope of improving his health. Up
j to a few days ago he was thought to be
doing very well and to have gained by
: the change. He leaves one brother,
Mr, J. T. Thacker, of this city, and
three children, l.illie, Annie and Percy.
The deceased was a member of Calvary
. Baptist church in Richmond and also
of the Odd Fellows and Junior Order
! lodges of that city. He was forty-four
i years old. For the past two years of
his life he had been slowly sinkingfrom
the dread disease which resulted in his
death. The remains wereaccompanied
to Uiclimond by Mr. J. T. Thacker and
the two younger children of the de-ceased.
Out of Death's Jaws.
"When death seemed very near from
a severe stomach and liver trouble,
that I had suffered with for years,"
w rites P. Muse, Durham, N. C, "Dr.
King's New Life Pills saved my life
and gave perfect health." Best pills
on earth and only 35c at Holton's drug
store.
The Central Carolina Fair.
The biggest and best fair that tireens-boro
has even seen and one that will
compare favorably with any ever held
any where in the state opened under
the most favorable auspices yesterday.
It is difficult to pick out a feature to
begin with in writing a hurried sketch
of the affair. From the moment a per-son
enters the spacious grounds there
is a bewildering array of exhibits and
interesting attractions such as are us-ually
to be found on such occasions.
The main exhibit hall is a great bower
of beauty containing innumerable at-tractive
booths, many of w hich contain
displays made by the progressive mer-chants
of the city. In this hall are the
exhibits made by the ladies of the land.
Ait, education, needlework and cookery
are represented in lavish profusion.
Down stairs in this building are ex-hibits
of machinery, buggies, wagons,
harness, etc. In the new building that
was recently erected is a surpri-ingly
fine exhibit of farm products and fruit.
The resources of the county were never
shown to better advantage. On the
lirst tloor of this building is a poultry
exhibit never before equaled in the
state. Nearby are the stock sheds.
More line stock is being shown this
year than ever before—perhaps twice
as much. I uiproved heavy machinery
is scattered in profusion about the east-ern
sides of the grounds—thresher.-,
traction engines, anil the like.
The Midway stretches all the way
from the main exhibit hall to the
grand stand. Both sides of the ave-nue
are lined with attractions of al-most
every conceivable sort. Among
other interesting things to be seen on
the Midway are Rostock's trained
animals, Fairbanks' illusionary mu-seum,
the Southern plantation theatre,
an ostrich show from Jacksonville, Fla.,
the original mysterious Thauma, the
F.Iks' country store, Lottie, the palmist
and mind reader. Walker's vaudeville,
Potter's photograph gallery, Taka-
Tama, the two-headed baby, the
marvelous scientific palmist, Nina, a
a submarine diving demonstration,
Mine. SSara, the palmist. Madam
Ro:ita, the palmist, Fred Burns' beauty
■ow, Jumbo, the largest snake in
captivity, Lennette, the flying lady, a
New York candy kitchen, snake eaters,
lunch stands, cane racks, punching
machines, jewelry stands, nigger head
ami baby racks, etc., galore, and last
but not least—the original Jim West.
The Shetland pony exhibit from L.
Banks Holt's Alamance farm at Gra-ham
is the niecca of all the children
and most of the grown people on the
grounds. The nurseries and terracotta
works have extensive exhibits. Rut
we can't find time or space to mention
everything on the grounds. Suffice it
to repeat that it is the best fair held in
the state this year.
The racing events bid fair to excel
those of last year, when the state record
was made. More horses are here this
year and the speed contests start oil'
with a vim that gives promise of rare
sport.
The event of yesterday was the edu-cational
rally at which Governor Ay-cock
and State Superintendent Joyner
made addresses. The attendance was
gratifying and the speakers were at
their best.
Oak liidge won over Danville Mili-tary
Institute in a hotly contested game
of football.
The crowds are being handled with
care anil ease by the Southern Railway
and street railway. A great number of
visitors has already reached the city.
Truly this is a gala week for the Gate
City.
Seaboard Connection in Sight.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
a clipping from the Manufacturer's
Record announcing thedelinite purpose
of the Raleigh A Western Railroad to
enter Greensboro. The Raleigh corres-pondent
of the Charlotte Observer of
Saturday said:
"Tonight your correspondent had an
interesting talk with President Samuel
A. Hensy.ey, of the Raleigh <x- Western
P.ailroad. This road connects with the
Seaboard Air Line at Colon, and
thence goes eight miles to Cumnock.
He says it is being pushed on to tireens-boro
as fast as possible and that fifteen
miles of this extension are now graded.
The road will have a glade of not over
1 per cent. It will traverse a tine tim-ber
country and there are eighteen cot-ton
mills along its lines. It is easy to
see that the Seaboard Air Line, long
desirous of entering Greensboro, will
get into that town by this new route,
and it is therefore an important devel-opment."
The surveying corps of this road is
now at work in southern (iuilford,
heading this way. The prosj>ect8 of
another road entering tireensboro are
particularly bright just now.

MAKKICT KEPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been the largest of any
week during the present season and
have broken all records of this market,
so early in the season. There never
has been a time In the history of the
market when the sales were as large
in October as they were the past week.
The top wagons rolled in in great
strings from every section of the coun-try
and the warehouses were taxed to
their full capacity while wagons stood
in the streets waiting to be unloaded.
But in spite of all this, prices were well
maintained and remain about the
same to a shade lower. The quality of
the offerings was of the good manu-facturing
type and was eagerly sought
for by manufacturers and buyers rep-resenting
manufacturers. There is,
however, a very little common tobacco
and a very little line tobacco being of-fered.
The bulk of the offerings is of
the medium grades. We are expect-ing
sales to lighten up some this week,
an a great many people will want to
attend our fair and others will be busy-sow
ing wheat. Sales were good yester-day

over last week.

A PUBLIC HOSPITAL.
Steps Taken to Establish One In This City
to be Owned by a Joint Stock
Company.
Pursuant to a call made last week by-
Messrs. J. Van Llndley, W. H.
Osbom, J. W. Scott, C. E. Holton and
J. A. Odell, forsomeof the citizens of
Greensboro to meet together to consider
the Important matter of establishing a
well equipped hospital, to meet the
full demands of our city and commun-ity,
a number of citizens, including
some of our leading business and
professional men, met in the hall of
the Hotel Ben bow last Saturday uiglit,
and took steps to establish a hospital
for the public, to be owned and directed
by a joint stock company of citizens.
On motion of J. W. Scott, J. A. Odell
was elected chairman of the meeting.
On motion of C. 11. Ireland, It. I).
Douglas was elected secretary. The
chairman stated that the object of the
meeting was to consider ways and
means of establishing and maintaining
a public hospital in tireensboro.
Dr. C. L. Scott spoke of a movement
on the part of the Sisters of Charity.
C. A. Bray presented a plan that had
been formulated by himself and an-other
citizen ofGreensboro for establish-i:
ig a public hospital by a joint stock
company. After stating that this plan
was subject to modification to meet the
needs of our hospital, a number spoke
in behalf of establishing such a hospital
as outlined. Rev. W. C. Newton
thought the plan about ideal. Dr. C.
D. Melver spoke enthusiastcally in be-half
of a hospital and expressed the
hope that especially our citizens of
means would contribute liberally to
establish this much needed institution.
He insisted that the important thing
to be done was to proceed to secure the
means to establish the hospital. Dr.
Mclver was followed by a number of
others, who likewise spoke earnestly in
behalf of establishing such an institu-tion.
Among the number who spoke
wasJ. Y. Joyner, Col. W. H. Osborn,
R. It. King, Z. V. Taylor, C. H. Ire-land,
Dr. Peacock and others.
On motion a permanent committee
consisting of Messrs. J. Van Llndley,
W. H. Osborn, J. W. Scott, ('. E.
Holton and J. A. Odell was appointed
to make a canvass for subscriptions.
A subscription was taken of those pres-ent
at the meeting, which resulted in
securing $7,000.
The committee appointed to solicit
subscriptions was requested to call a
meeting of citizens, to report results,
and further continue efforts in behalf
of the hosital, some time within two
weeks from the time of this meeting.
On motion the meeting adjourned to
meet again at the call ofthe committee.
J. A. ODELL, Chairman.
R. D. Dot'Ol.AS, Secretary.
Prof. J. A. Holmes, the state geolo-gist,
was here today on his way to
Chapel Hill from Washington. He
stated that he had arranged for Mr.
W. H. Weed, one of the government
geologists, to come to North Carolina
this week and examine this state's
copper dejiosits. Copper mining in
North Carolina at present Is perhaps
receiving more attention than the min-ing
of any other metal ami Prof.
Holmes is greatly gratified that a gov-ernment
geologist is coming to see
what North Carolina oilers in this par-ticular.
