A LAST WORD TO FARMERS.

In nearly every county IN the State
there is a farmer running for the Legisla-
ture, and they are generally men of wis
dom and patriotism. The CHRONICLE be-
li,ves that when elected they will be wise
legislators and represent their people
athfully. They will belong to no cor
poratous, but will be their own masters
and will work solely for the best interests
OF the whole people.
But they are not elected yet. Many of
them are not orators and cannot stir the
people up with their eloquenec- To the
this last word to say on the eve of the
election: Go to work for your legislative
candidates. You need to elect them. If
they tail, their failure Will set back the
advancement of the farmer many years
There is not farmer i'll the State who
cannot, if he will exert himself, secure
one vote for his fellow farmer candidate
and the balan, of the ticket. The CHRON-
IcLE makes the urgent appeal to them to
do it.

or even consider such superstition, but
we must look at things the. are. What
will be the result2 Hereafter when far
mers desire nominations it will be charged
that when they were nominated they could
not be elected. This would keep back the

SILER CITY FAIR.

SILER CITY, N. c., Oct. th.-Notwith-
standing the rain, the fair was decided
success and did great credit to the good
people of the town and surrounding coun-
try. Although the warehouse was large,
still the busy housewives anG fair maidens
of old Chat ham had elegantly dressed it
off and filled it with agricultural products
and pantry supplies, which, indeed, were
tempting to him who had never partaken
of Chatham's luXurles. Ali kinds of fancy
work and home made articles greeted the
beholder on every hand and all went
away with praises for the young city and
prophesies of her brilliant future. The
secretary, Mr.. E. r. Mclean, informed me
that after all premiums were paid, there
was still a good amount left in the treas
ury, At the beginning they took a grand
step in selecting Hon. X. P Battle to de-
liver the address, who did so to a large
and appreciative throng.
The Democratic candidates for the Leg
islature spoke to a large crowd at the
Guthrie Hotel, and for two hours solid
Democracy was presented to the people by
Messrs. Il A. London and y H. Merritt
of Pttsboro. Mr. Guthrie, the proprietor
of that splendid house, is fair type of
Siter's clever people. H. B. Il.

A Good Move for Wilmington.

Upward Kidders, of Wilmington, has
bought and equipped a vessel toply direct
between Wilmington and the Argentine
Republic: The Messenger says: The yes
sci is taking on a cargo to sail Tuesday
next for Buenos Ayres. Her cargo will
consist of sol, 900 feet of lumber, 800
pounds of tobacco, and samples of tar,
manufactured by prominent firm here,
who are seeking to introduce this article
into the Argentine Republic. The tobac-
co, also, is sent as samples for the same
purpose. This is a bold move on the part
of the Messrs. kidder, and one that, if
successful, as it doubtless will be, will re-
suit in the establishment of regular line
of vessels between Wilmington and Buenos
Ayres. 1t is pertinent to mention here
that the same parties recently shipped a
cargo of lumber from this port to Pata-
gonia; the first ever sent IRON this port to
that State, and, so far as here known, the
first ever shipped from the United States
