Some one-ohjects to the name chrys-

to spell, and suggests that, as chrysanthe-

be substituted instead. What the grand
mothers of today want to know is why
these flowers are not called artemisias, as
they were in the days when the grand
mothers were young. Artemisia is not

port that be had decided to withdraw

The Sampson County Agricultural Fair,
to be held at Clinton, December 4th, 5th
and 9th, promises to be quite a success.
Gov. Fowle is to open the Fair on We'd
nesday, the 4th; Thursday will be Veter-

Lee, the popular Governor of Virginia, is
to address the old veterans on that day.

many thousand farmers are expected to

On Thursday NJ. Gould gave the New
York guarantee fund a big lift by sub
scribing the sum of $4,000, as it was
followed by the Manhattan Elevated
Railway, S25, 600; Western Union TeIe-
graph Co., $25, 900, and the Standard
Oil Co., 100000. The committee on
legislation has issued an address t. the
people of the United States containing a
summary of the reasons why New York
should be chosen as the site. The adj
dress was prepared by W. E. G. Stokes
and revised by Chauncey M. Depew.
Mr.. Stokes takes the ground that New
York cannot afford to enter into an I'M
dignifed scamble for the fair or employ
hippodroming methods. He said; 1--WE
do not propose to establish head quarters
in Washington, buttonhole Congressman
or go to work to beg or buy the fair.
The committee on legislation proposes to
act for the city in a digniied way-to
offer the cite and a guarantee, which will
make the fair a credit to the country
After making the offer and presenting
the reasons why it should be accepted, it
will retire, taking the grounds that if
politics, sectionalism or underhand meth
DDS are to win, this city cannot afford to
employ them"
