Last week it was crowded with fish,
oysters, beef poultry Vegetables,
fruits &c, which. in quantity,
equalled any and every demand.
Our hotels have settled down to
normal conditions but, still, retain
their inviting cozy aspect which
makes them homelike to all whose
experience is sufficient to enable
them to appreciate.
A stroll to the Mayors Office brings
"Our Man. in conversation with the
Mayor who informs him that, with all
the stir and excitement of last week,
but one man was found so disorderly
as to require arrest. This speaks
we'll for the people and the place and

best of our white people in one capac-
ity or another, and his influence though
small is something land this is either
good or bad. Now to remove the bad
influence, the cause must be removed,
| If, then, the negro is here to stay,
which looks very probable, and the
cause of his bad influence is the lack
of elevation, then by ali means remove
this bad influence and extend the
helping hand to elevate him Under
such circumstances, how could it be
otherwise than what he stated i. e.
the negro would make better tenant,
better servant, and better citizen.
AS to social relations they must and
always will regulate themselves.
Social equality is an impossible thing
either among white people or black
people. Such thing is out of the ques-
ton, and only wicked politicians or
ignorant people ever agitate such a
question. There is no use of any
apprehension as to the masses of the
negros being elevated to the same level
of the whites, right away. If that
happens at all, it is somewhat in the
future. Train the negro in order
that he may know his place. And it
is not to be doubted, that man who
knows his place generally, keeps it,
let him be white or black. The lines
drawn in society attest to this fact.
The Governor, in his speech. did not
seem to be uneasy about the conse-
quences of the negroes elevation.
Rather he hailed it with delight AMI
showed conclusively what an inestima.
BILE blessing it would be to both white
and black. These are broad views
and they contain principles upon which
every good citizen can consistently
stand The colored people who heard
the Governor highly appreciated his
speech. There Is good in it, and it
bespeaks better future for all,
mutual interest between the races and
an unimity Of feeling that will grow
more and more, till our South lands
shall blossom as the rose.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sicknes to robust health
marks an epoch in the life Of the indi.
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory aud the
agency whereby in the health has
been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that SO much is heard i n
praise of Electric Bitters. So many
feel they owe their restoration to

OUR man ABOUT TOWN !
WHAT HE SEES AND HEARS DURING
THE WEEK.

Last week all was stir, exciting
activity and business. All our high
ways were thronged with people Gu
rious yet, happy visitors of the Fair
From Monday till Saturday the well
coined presence of the stranger or,
rather nonresident was everywhere
seen. This week is the calm after
the storm-everything seems still.
There is seeming hush, like the
quiet that succeeds the summer storm,
general and prevalent. This is always
so, after season of pleasure and
general reunion, and we must not
think ourselves exceptions to the
obtaining rule. Now that ell is over,
we must let the recollection of gen.
eral success, iu all the aspects of last
weeks exhibition, stimulate us to
work, even from now. to make the
next Fair grander still and more in
vitiEg. If we but work, if every man
in Chowan county, and those Of other
counties who have interest, will but
do the half they ought to do, we shall
have, in November next, the biggest
display and the largest crowd ever
seen, on any similar occasion, in the
State. 1t is twelve long months ere
another Eair can be held and antici-
patton may serve to make the time,
like the coming of Xmas to children,
seem young eternity, but, it will
come and come quickly, if we indus
triously labor, freighted with increas-
ed helps and agencies. Labor short
ems time and reduces space, so to
speak, even within the ,>arrowest
points of our mathematical concep-
tions. LABOR oMNIA vINCET is an
old maxim and as true now as when
in Roman tongue it had its birth
Give US unity and action and we feel
confident of continued and over
whelming triumph on the part of the
Edenton Agricultural and Fish Fair
and, with it. increasing benefits to
the agricultural and fishing interest
of the Albemarle section. We find
everybody about town agreeing with
US on this subject and we trust our
people in the country, forming the
same opinion, will become co-laborers
with their town friends in all effort
to accomplish the end which now
seems clearly possible.
Our merchants are actively at work
this week Notwithstanding the
reactionsry influence of FAIR
ENDED. A good merchant finds no
time to idle, says Little Bob

upon, will give merchant but little

ACOLORED MANS LETTER,

It is to be regretted that there were
not more on the fair grounds, both
white and colored, on Tuesday to hear
the speech of Ex-Governor Jarvis.
Such noble expressions and patriotic
sentiments could come from none
other than one of broad and liberal
views. This suggestion TO the farmers
in relation to Landlord and Tenant, if
acted upon, would bring showers of
blessing upon both, and our South.
lands would take such strides
on the road Of prosperity
and happiness unparalleled in the
history of our whole country. What
creature would not love the man who
took kindly interest in him and his
welfare? Where is the man possessed of
such ingratitude, that would not work
to the best of his ability and make
every effort to advance and provide the
interest of his employer, fhis employer
really showed that ne was impelled
by no other motives than those of
justice and rectitude towards the party
employed? AS the Governor said
eff the land owner who farms out his
land to tenants would pay a just
equivalent for Dor, and would GO
among his tenants and show that he
had real interest in their welfare
and elevation, and that he did not look
upon them as serfs and slaves, there
would be such bonds of business inter
est formed between landlord and ten
ants that scarcely anything in the
world could break - The tenant
would realize the fact that his landlords
interest was his own interest and we
find but few among mankind who do
not look out for their own interest.
The southern white man knows the
negro as we'll az he can be known by
any one except himself. He knows
that he can appreciate kind treatment.
He knows that he is always ready to
do all in his power for the advantage
of the man that give him justice. He
can forgive an injury. He is hnmble.
Why not act upon the Governors
suggestions and extend the helping
hand and raise him up: He can be
made good citizen. He is here
mingled to some extent with the very

a detailed description of the proposed
theater reveals a building covering 49,
OH square feet. The visitor will first
enter a beautiful vestibule, with broad,
magnifcentiy Ornamented stairway
leading to the balcony. Beside the
ticket offices there are four bright and
handsome little stores. much as one sees
in the arcades abroad. which will be de-
voted TO telegraph Office, eonfeetion-
cry, floral, etc. The woodwork upon
all the offices and arcade is beautifully
carved and delieateiy Ornamented. The
glass is all beveled. of the finest French
plate and backed by shiTred silk.
From the vestibule the foyer is
reached. on the main floor of the au-
dit0rium. A superb feature of the au-
ditOrium is due to the architects. by
means OF which there is no one seat
wherefIom the line Of vision is not as
perfect as any other. There are no alb
sOlutely fat surfaces of any length on
the main floor. There is, by design. a
slight horizontal curve which gives the
floor a shell-like character; in fact. the
entire auditorium IS built on the plan of
a mammoth shell. the lines of vision

wardrobes, marble washbowis and cleo
trio and gas lights. Upon the upper
floor are two large rooms for the chorus
and ballet. Over the scene and prop
erty rooms is large carpenter shop and
WOrkrOOn.
The dressing rooms, carpenter and
property workshops are all separated
from the stage by a massive brick wall
and an iron door. The stairways are of
iron, and the fioorings OF corrugated
iron plates filed in with cement and
covered with hard pine. The wood
work upon and about the stage is COW
cred with fre-proof paint, and the
scenery also. A fire-proof curtain will
separate the auditorium from the stage
at the beginning and close of the
performance, and a most beautiful
silk plush hanging will serve to
mark the division of acts. This
curtain will be drawn from each side
and meet in the center. The heating
and ventilation of the theater will be
very complete and thorough, and the
air Of the theater will be entirely
changed every ten minutes-something

ciate from its novelty.

THE MAGNIFICENT CURTAIN.
The new drop curtain is a magnificent
work of art. It is from the brush OF the

St. Louis. 1t is perhaps the largest
curtain in the United States. being
forty-eight feet in height and ffty-six

been chosen to harmonic with the
decorations of Harris academy.

surrounding the palace. Suggestive of
romantic Grenada. In the distance the
snow-capped mountains melt away inn
