The Origin of 1t.

From the Greensboro Workman

From The Greens6OrO Workman.
We would like to know who invented
fried chicken as the diet of Methodist
preachers? But we have no hope OF ever
finding an answer to the question, since it
has always been $50. Many years ago, as
we learn, there was a house near one OF
the regular preaching appointments, at
which the preacher was served so regularly
with the favorite diet, that Nero the
dog, who was always called on for his
services on such occasions, came to under
stand his business 30 perfectly, that when
he saw the preacher ride up to the gate,
would Immediately march off and bring
to the kitchen door good fat chicken for
dinner.

THE STATE EXPOSITION.
A Definite Plan Has at Last Been
Mapped Out and w Ork Will Now Be-
gin.

=
Mapped Out and Work Will Now Be
gin.
At meeting on Monday evening in
Raleigh of Governor Jarvis, Mr.. K. p.
Battle and Mr.. w. F. Green, of the State
Department of Agriculture, of Mr.. w. S.
Primrose and Mr.. w. G. Upchurch, Of the
citizens committee of twenty-one, and of
Mr.. L. NJ. Holt and Mr.. 4. F. Hoke, of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society, the
following resolutions were adopted:
l. That it is the opinion of this meeting that
a State Exposition is feasible, and will tend
greatly to develop the resources Of the State;
2. That a joint stock company, to be called
''The State Exposition Association" should be
organized I at as as early day as practicable
appointed to draw up a charter for said Asso-
at once to secure necessary incorporators to or
ganze the same.
T. That the press Of the state tat is. is hereby re,
Of the exposition.
Mr.. Primrose was appointed chairman
of the committee of three, and instructed
! to select the names of the most apprOpri-
ate persons in the ninety-six counties Of
| the State and request them to meet at
Raleigh as incOrpOratOrs Of the association,
and lend their aid in making the scheme a
| grand success.
| The first and fourth resolutions are
! simply trash 1t is too late in the day to
/ continue to declare the project feasible, y
| and to say that it Twill tend greatly to de-
velop the resources of the State.' And to
request the press to use its inf1uence-this
is proper enough, but the press has been
| doing that, and will do it. But the second
and third resolutions are more to the point
than anything that has been done before.
These, in fact, speak the organization into
being; for Mr.. Primrose, as chairman of
the committee on organization, will soon
have ''The State Exposition Association
incorporated and organized. This is a
definite step forward.
The Western North Carolina Fair Asso-
citation has been conceived and fully or
ganized at Asheyille since the State Ex
position was spoken of here!
There has been no sufficient excuse fol-
so much preliminary action. But now
that definite work has been laid out, and
is in the hands of so energetic worker
visible results may be looked for speedily

Usefulness, Beauty and Pleasure.

Mr. Hubert Herkomer, the celebrated
English painter, proposes to build whole
house with his own hands, assisted by his
father, who is a worker in metal, without
even the help OF bricklayer. The inte-
rior Of the house where he now lives Is re-
markable for the hand-carving Of its deco
rations, which is entirely by his own aud
his fathers hands.

A Sound View of it.

Shelby needs graded school. In every
town in North Carolina it has been
splendid success, and increased the popu-
lation. They have always increased the
taxes upon large taxpayers, whose prop
erty value and house rents have by way
of compensation increased more than the
additional taxes. The graded school would
be good feeder for our fourishing Female
College, which has now ITO pupils.

Say About Political Subjects.
The election OF our townsman. Mr..

alarms of the Senate, is gratifying TO
many Democrats. As Republican was
to be elected they preferred him. He was
still young man. Wilmington Star.
There is no principle about the Dem
ocracy at all its ruling passion and ambi-
ton Is to get into power by hook or crook,
to hold the Offices, to feed at the public
crib and then finally to bankrupt and dis
rupt the country with its free trade theo-
ries-and to this complexion, should they
get into power we would come at last
,StatesoiHe american (Rep).
1t seems that the people OF Our sister
State OF South Carolina are pursuing q
policy that is absolutely suicidal regarding
the railroad system within her borders
They have created q railroad commission
which is empowered to dictate the terms
upon which all her roads shall be run AZ
well as the freight and passenger tariff for
the same.-W,tmington ReUie,c (Dem).
Mr.. Scales may be representing his
constituents Of his immediate district, but
we are certain that he is not speaking the
sentiments OF the majority Of the Demo
Gratis Of North Carolina at large, when he
asks that the internal revenue law be re-
pealed. The people do not want free
whisky and tobacco, so long as there IL
need Of the tax. To take the tax of these
useless luxuries, at this time, will necessi-
tie the raising it upon the peoples neces-
sities.-Goids6oro bulletin.
Our next candidate for Governor
should be a man OF strong physique, that
he may undergo the fatigue OF protract-
ed canvass Of means sufficient to defray
the expenses Of the campaign, it seems to
be demonstrated that the Democrats do
not respond literally for such purposes,
and willingness to spend it; Of good
sense, information and record, and a good
orator. Would not Capt. Octavius Coke,
the present Chairman Of our State Execu-
