GETTING READY FOR A BIG
CROWD.

Raleigh Will Have a Tremendous Con-
course of People to Provide For Dur
ing the State Fair.
1t is the desire and earnest wish Of
those in charge of the coming State fair
to be put in possession of the knowledge
of all who can and will entertain visitors
during fair week.
While Raleigh, in her hotels and board
ing houses, can comfortably take care Ct
thousands of people, it is expected that
the next State fair will draw such an i'm
mense crowd that the good city will be
put to her utmost to accommodate them
hence it is suggested that proprietors OF
all the hotels and boarding houses will
inform Mr.. j. I. Patrick, the manager,
the exact number they can entertain,
also the prices to be charged.
In addition to this, it is desired that
all private families let it be known
| just how many they will receive and al
what rate. This is an important matter
and should be attended to at once Senc
your address and desired informa
tion to Mr. j. IT, Patrick, Manager.

The Salisbury Waterman says: Last

tleman step in the office. He said he
was passing by, saw the light, and came
in to see who was keeping such late
hours; and when We assured him that
the twelve o'clock business was the rule
rather than the exception, he promptly
pulled out his pocket book and paid his

keep the editor, who had to work until

all who are behind will see the point, as
he saw it, and come in and do likewise.

The Salisbury Watchman copies the
CHRONICLES report of the speech of
CHAs. PRICE, ESQ, Of Salisbury, at the
Republican State Convention, in which
he made plea for the negro vote that
was unworthy Of an aspirant for judi
cial honors. After copying what the
CHRONICLE said, the Watchman remarks:

some man, genial companion and nas

wrong side of the political fence. There's
the rub If it were not for that fact,
the way we would lay it on Joe Daniels
back would be caution.
Fortunately for Capt. Price he spoke be-
fore the "colored brethren" had warmed
up, and at that moment his allusion to
the Kilkenny cat fight was inopportune.
Later on the fur flew, and the aforesaid
Kilkenny cat fight was merely "pass-
ing off the time of the day" in compar-
ison with the event now humorously
alluded to as the harmonious Republi-

take stock in this proceeding, however,

A report having gained currency that
Captain S. B Alexander, the Democrat
ic nominee for Congress in this district,
was opposed to Senator Vance, gentle
man of this city wrote to him in regard
to the matter and received the following
reply:

tion for Representative from this dis

tor Vance was the choice of the district
for his own successor, and | assure you
that if I had any idea Of opposing the
wishes of the Democrats who honored
me with the nomination of Representa-
tive l would resign. have twice voted
for Gov. Vance for United States Sena-
tor, and were [ again the Senator from
Mecklenburg" would vote for him again.
The personal relations between Gov.
Vance and myself have always been
friendly. I hope and believe that the
difference between Senator Vance and
the Alliance will soon be adjusted salts
factorily to both. Thanking you for
your kindness,

Under the above head, commenting
on CAPT. ALExANDER's letter, the Will
mington Star of yesterday says:
The letter from Hon. S. B. Alexander,
the Democratic nominee for Congress
in this district, effectually disposes ol
the report that he is opposed to the re-
election of Senator Vance. We didn't
believe it when we heard it, for we knew
Mr.. Alexander to be a square, ,straightout
Democrat, and manly man, NhD al

of this State who recognize the fact ths
their interests and the interests of Mort
Carolina are identical. We didn't nee
