THE STATE YnR.

We had the pleasure o. q visit from
Capt. G. q. benson. the excellent Seerc-
tary of the State agricultural Association,
& from him gather some,particnlars which
will he interesting to our. readers, and
enlist the interest Of tobacco men
generally. H.
In the first place, the next Fair promises
to be successful one and so for from
losing ground by some alleged short
comings of the last exhibition. appears
to have gathered new life; the effect, in
deed, of some very material changes in
its proposed conduct.
! The citizens Of Raleigh evince more
solid interest than heretofore. A cash
subscription of SCOOPS already in hand
to be applied exclusively in premiums;
and this is to he increased to $500, all
of which will I've used in the same way.
, A new building, 100x3 il about to be
erected between the Grand Stand and
Floral Hall to be used exclusively for the
exhibition Of agricultural products
Tie stalls, which were so remote as to
I've visited only by those ambitious of II
long walk, are to DC removed to the oppo.
site, or East side of the grounds, and
re-arranged, so as to give cpi.yenient view
of the animals on exhibition.
A new road for carriages is under con-
strnction fading from the north side Of
Raleigh, the route over which leaves the
city ON Halifax street near the Peace In-
sti;ute, avoiding the dust and tumult OF
the crowded thoropghfare of Hillsboro
street.
The bulk Of the premiums is to he de.
voted to stock and field products. The
premiums this year are especially in
creased on tobacco; and il is hoped there
will he abundant rivalry in the exhibit,
both in the leaf and in manufactured.
! Twenty five dollars cash is the premium
to be PAID on both sun cured and kiln or
flue, cured, for quantity not less than
twenty five pounds; and geo. for bright
wrappers. A gold medal will he awa..
ded to the best exhibit Of both smoking
and plug tobacco. The tobacco will he
examined upon standard brands; aud the
examination will be made by judges ap-
pointed by experienced manufacturers
without knowledge Of the names Of the
competing manufacturers.
We presume that there will be many
premiums paid as heretofore in kind.
But the great feature Of the coming Fair
is that tie most important ptemicms are
to bepaid in cash, which capt. benson
says, is alrcady secured. e

Don't Want to Fight.

The Reveille learns from an Indian
high in authority that the Shoshones
are well aware that If they incite the
Piutes to take up arms against them
their defeat would be disastrous and
they would be compelled to vacate
their present haunts for all time. They
therefore, deem discretion the better
part of valor and will not provoke a
conflict.

From the Chicago Tribune.


Your correspondent is personally ac-
quainted with Ex-Governor Sprague.
He was at the latter's residence last
evening, when the following converse
ton occurred:
Visitor - Your trouble with Mr..
Conkling is the talk of the whole
country.
Mr.. Sprague--I am not surprised.
Visitor-Did you command him to
leave this house?
Mr.. Sprague-I did, and ought to
have done so before.
Visitor-Have you had any personal
difficulty with Prof. Linck, who has
been teaching music in your family?
Mr.. Sprague-None whatever. So
far as know Linck is a gentleman and
decent man, Conkling is neither.
Vistor-Will yon be offended if /
ask you if you had been drinking pre-
vious to you rencontre with Conk-
ling?
Mr.. Sprague-So that is part of the
story now, is it? Well, | tell you, hon
estly, had not drop of wine or other
liquor in me at the time. | was not
under alcoholic influence Had / been
should not have given Conkling five
minutes to leave the premises.
Visitor-Once more, Mr.. Sprague,
will You say explicitly that you ordered
Mr. Conkling to quit this house, and
threatened to shoot him if he did not
Immediately comply?
Mr.. Sprague-That is precisely what
I did.
Visitor-Shall you publish any state
ment of the affair over your signature?
MIR. Sprague--I shall not.
Mr.. Sprague did not ask whether
this conversation was to be published,
and no pledge was given to him that it
should not be. His statements are
given verbatim.
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1879-08-22

"Are you armed, sir? Conkling re-
piled: "No, l am not" as he passed
unobserved to Mrs. Sprague Colts
navy and a bowie knife. "Then, said
Sprague. Il give you five minutes to
get off these premises. If You are not
away I will fire at you" Conkling's
friends say now that it would not be
safe to enter him for the, Presidential
race, but we don't see why. His
achievement at Narragansett shows
that it would be safe to enter him even
for the Derby if he could be started by
a pistol. $. F. Exchange.
