The Executive Committee regret thai
the published list Of members of the
A,cnding Committees does not contain the
names of any gentlemen from Robson
county. The Committee in selecting these
A1carding Commuters were actuated solely
by desire to secure such competent per-
sons as was believed would attend the
Fair. To this end reliable persons in the
several counties, who had evinced an in
terest in the success of the Association
were written to for this information. The
reply from Robson was delayed until at.
ter it was necessary to put the Premium
List to press, and in this way there ap.
pears to be neglect of that county. The
members of Committees from Robson
will be duly announced when other Com
mittees are completed.
The Committees for 'Floral Hall" were,

announced without consultation. Conse-
quently it was impossible to include names
from the various counties, not even from
New Hanover. These Committees will be
filed and duly announced.
The Executive Committee take this OPP
portunity to request their friends, and the
friends OF the good work they have under
taken, to aid them in promoting its sue
cess. Urge the people to be fully represen-
ted in every branch of production and in

Papers friendly to the Association will
please publish.
WE publish in another column of our
paper this morning the proceedings of a
meeting recently held by the citizens of
Chapel Hill. We desire to call special at
tention to them. as we'll because of the
character of the men engaged in it as be-
cause of the circumstances that gave rise
to it.
A residence at Chapel Hill of nearly five
years as q student and also for consider
able time as a citizen after the war, has
made us familiar with the people of that
long suffering community. With the
Chairman of the meeting, as also with
every one of the eleven gentlemen of the
committee who reported the resolutions,
we arc acquainted, either personally or by
reputation, and we know them to be men
of weight and influence there and who re-
fleet the sentiment OF the entire COM
munity.
The people of the Cape Fear-especially
the Upper Cape Fear-know well who DR.,
VIM. p Mallett is. The members of the
Episcopal Church throughout the State
require no endorsement for Mr.. Andrew
Mickle. Mr.. L. M. Argo is known to the
people OF North Carolina as a prominent
member of the Legislature. Capt. Free
land was a gallant officer of the llth North
Carolina Regiment, and is a partner of one
of the principal business houses now in
gentleman of property, IL farmer, passed
middle age and noted in Orange county
for integrity. intelligence and moderation
in speech and action. Col Saunders and
Mr.. Stone are also farmers, the former
we'll known throughout the entire State
and both gentlemen of character and infiu
ence. Mr.. Watson is q brother of Mr.
Jones Watson, q leading citizen of the
county. and the owner of tho line of hacks
and mail contractor to Durham's. Messrs.
Leo and Newton arc bootmakers, whom
all the ante-war students will remember
and vouch for. as they will also do for Mr..
Foster Utley, carpenter and a man of
unblemished reputation and unusual kind
ness of heart.
We say We know all these gentlemen,
either personally or by reputation, and We
can assure our readers that they are really
representative men, and we are satisfied
deliberate sentiments of the people, of that
community. They represent an insufrera-
bile condition of things and wonderful
forbearance upon the part Of the people,
We admire the candor and the spirit with
which they make known their grievances
and the remedies proposed. 1t is we'll that
the Governor heed the solemn and respectful
circumstances of these citizens We know
that they are in earnest. and have proper
foundation for their complaints. +.
