STATUS OF THE FAIR.
THE SOCIETY HAS REASONS FOR NOT
TAKING HOLD OF IT.
Mr.. Starko VIII, However. BE Asked to
Manage the Exhibition for
the Citizens

Yesterday the members of the Executive
Committee of the Virginia Agricultural
and Mechanical Society held an informal
conference TO consider whether or not they
will take charge of the guarantee fund
raised by the citizens and give an exhibi-
tion this fall.
There was no representative from the
Citizens Committee nor formal request
from them for the society to hold the fair'
and the matter could not be formally dis
posed of, but IL is understood that the
committee reached the conclusion that as
the society is involved in q lawsuit u
would be unwiae for them to take charge
of the exhibition. However. they seemed
10 be willing to let the citizens have the
use of the buildings and grounds for the
show if they will be responsible for any
damage done the property.
THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE.
Last night at $50 o'clock the committee
appointed at the meeting held 1hursuay
night at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation Hall met at Murphy's Hotel for or
ganization.
Mr.. Moses Thalhimer was made chair
man. Mr.. +. G.. Leath secretary. and Mr..
J. w. Rothert treasurer. Colonel John
Murphy. who was first onthe list, declined
the ohairmanship, as he preferred TO work
in some other capacity. =,
Some of the committee had during the
day talked with the members OF the Ex-
ecutiye Committee and found out their
position IN regard to taking the Far IN
hand and this subject was brought up ana
discussed.
IL was admitted by some that the pros
pect for holding the exposition was not so
good, but others held on TO their enthus'-
asm and expressed their determination 10
have IL anyhow.
TO WAIT on Mr.. sTARKE.
II was finally decided TO appoint q com,
;nittee to wait on Mr.. Ashton Starke and
ascertain if he will act a. president OF
citizens organization and get up the exhi-
bition.
The committee named for this purpose
is composed Of the following gentlemen:
Messrs. Moses Thalhimer, Isaac Held,
Thomas G. Leath. J. W. Rothert; +, Charles
Il. Dodson. and Chris. Eyensen. They Will
wait upon Mr.. Starke to-day, ascertain II
he will serve az the head of the citizens,
organization, and report to meeting OF
the committee to be held at Murphy's ho-
tel Monday night.
TIE PRESENT STATUS.
Whether or not the Fair will be held de-
pends largely upon Mr.. Ashton Starke's
decision in the matter. as some of the COM
mittee are Of opinion that unless be Will
serve them it will perhaps be better not 10
attempt so great an undertaking.
There is now between $4,000 and rT,OOO
pledged to the guarantee fund. and the
balance that Is needed can be raised ID a
few davs if IL is found expedlent TO push
the movement further.

CUT WITH A RAZOR.
To-day while the Town Marshal of
Rutherfordton was attempting to arrest a
negro named Greely Mcdowell he came
very near being killed. Mcdowell resisted
and tried to cut the Marshal with razor.
The Marshal had TO shoot him 10 protect
himself. The wound is serious, but not
necessarily fatal.
NEARLY RACE WAR.
This came near precipitating a race war.
A crowd of negroes soon gathered, and the
Marshal. who had already emptied all the
chambers of his revolver. had to fly for
safety. Mcdowell and his friends swear
that they will shoot the officer on sight.
Some of the negroes who took prominent
part in the affray have been placed in jail.
THE WEAPONS
Three negroes were injured severely
Razors and rocks were the offensive
weapons Of the negroes.
