FRIDAY NiGHT'S FIRE.

The barns at the entrance of the fair
grounds, owned by 5. W. Jewett and
John A. James of Weybridgc, who com
pose the Playground company, were
burned to the ground last Friday even
ing. They had no insurance on the
property. the estimated value of which
was from $1,000 to $500.
The barns were two in number, nearly
parallel with one another and connected
bv loft. under which was an entrance
to the grounds. The north barn, rented
by Geo. Norton, contained three horses
belonging to W. c. Danyew, including
valuable stallion by Daniel Lambert
which Mr. Danyew had lately purchased
of Frank c. Dyer; also horse owned
by Frank Winch and a driving mare
owned by ID. W. Greene of Utica, \. y.
Thomas Bissette. his son, Frank, and Nj.
A. Brooks occupied the south barn, and
had in il the stations Clay Franklin,
Amherst and Bay Dan, the two first the
property of the BsSettes and the latter
L
mare owned by F. Bissette and one
owned by Mr.. Brooks and fat COW be-
longing to the elder Bssette. All the
animals were gotten out safely except
the COW. which was found roasted in the
ruins. Frank Bissette lost Il trotting
sulkv, lot of blankets, boots, etc, and
Mr.. Brooks harness. Two or three tons
of hay were also destroyed.
The alarm was sounded about G As
o'clock Both fire companies and the
citizens were promptly on hand and
worked hard. The engine was stationed
at the reservoir south of the Addison
House and quickly had steam up. The
Volunteers laid their hose from the en-
CINE south toward the scene of the fire as
far as it would reach. The Fairmount
men strung their first cartfu from the
nunp at the Sun mill up the hill, witt
the idea of filling the reservoir when i
should be exhausted. They next got on
the other cart and completed the linz
from the engine to the fire, and then
stream began playing upon it. By this
time the barns were mass of flames ant
the water was used to wet down tn
roofs and sides of the adjacent buildings
particularly the rear end of the flora
hall, which caught several times, bu
was kept under control till the steame
began to play, by men with pals. The
straw stack in the yard back of tn
Pierce House caught, and the hose wa

They have no hope Of electing Mr.. Carroll

THE FINEST NORTH CARO-
LIMA POEM.
GWinStOn Sentinel.

The Statesville Landmark
asks who wrote the poem enti-
tied "The Star of Bethlehem"
and says it is generally credited
to Major Thos. n. Cru-npler, of
Ashe county, who studied law
under Judge Pearson, entered
the Confederate army about the
time he was admitted to the bar
and fell i'll d cavalry charge at
Willis Creek, below Richmond,
during the Seven Days Fight, in
1862. The credit is right. A
year or two ago the Sentinel re
printed the poem at the request
of Capt. D. p. Mast, Of Winston.
Capt. Mast was q friend to Ma
jOr Crumpler and once had the
original manuscript of the poem
in his possession. There is no
doubt that Maj. Crunpler wrote
it. 1t is a poem, as the Land
mark observes, Of every great
merit" and we think is far Su-
perior to any poem ever written
by native of North Carolina
For the benefit of our readers
who do not recollect it we re-
PRINT it again:
"Ard God said, let there be light
and there was light"
When first ,Jehovan's high command
Badc Earth to her existence leap.
Thick darkness lay DER ali the land
And on the bosom of the deep.
God spakc; and DER the young earti
flashed
| The glorious light. unknown before;
! And the bright waves of ocean flashed
Their sun-dyed jewels on the shore
Thus wien sins heavy mantle lay
Like night. and DER the earth unfurled
Shut out the light of heavens brigh day
And dimmed and veiIed the lalleI
world
God loved; and 10. a beautcOus gem
! Rose glittering or the brow of night
! Hopes star--the Star of Bethlehem.
And gave all nations life and light.
Lord. as we drive o>er life/s dark wave
Let mercy/s light be on our path!
Save us. Thy erring children save.
! From the red lightnings of Thy wrath
