The Burlington Fair.
Gnecial to STATE CHRONICLE.

BURLINGTON, N. ", Oct. y. 1he ,
county fair going on here this week
has been, so far as the exhibits are
concerned, the best county fair |
have attended this season. While |
the agricultural department is not
50 full as it was last year, there is,
in quantity, a very good display,
and for quality it is especially fine.
The floral hall is a department of
special attraction, as is the case
with everything the ladies have any
thing to do with.
The crowd on Thursday, at the
lowest calculation, was about 5000.
All premiums and expenses will be
paid, besides the association will be
enabled to pay right much on the
debt incurred making improve
ments, such as building a large,
strong grand-stand and a large two
story floral hall.
In the agricultural department
we notice that the great fruit man
of Alamance county, and we might
say of North Carolina, DR.. G. X.
Foust, had a fine display of his
green fruits. as we'll as canned
goods, put up at his cannery near
Graham. The DR.. will be down al
Raleigh next week with his exhibit
Mr.. L. w. Holt also has on ex
hibit some nice fruit. J. D. Harris, O
Greensboro, had some carriages ant
and buggies of his own manufacture
There were tubs Of tobacco CROWN,
and piles of the golden weed of yer,
. fine grades, and a general assort
7 ment of field products. While tn
stock department was not very full.
,, there were some very fine hogs an
. sheep, while Messrs. Holt & Home
wood, Messrs. Kernodle & Mon
gomery, of Graham. showed som
fine cattle, embracing Holsteirs an
Jerseys. The racing by horses an
: bicycles was very good and muc
enjoyed by the crowd; Mr.. Fit:
simmons, Of Greensboro, won tt
bicycle race Thursday, one mi
heat, but it was a close contest b
}. tween him and Win Wynne. II
n weather is fine and large crow

The recent sinking Of two foI

THE recent sinkingo ofor-
midable iron-clads in one of the
harbors of Chill by a small tor
pedo boat shows how terribly
destructive, as an engine of
warfare, the torpedo is. In the
war between the States the des-
tructive character of torpedoes
was shown, first on one SIDE and
then On the other, in tn vt
mighty struggle The ram
AIbermarle, which put to flight
the entire Federal fleet in the
North Carolina waters, was af-
forwards destroyed by a torpe-
which was exploded under her.
and in Charleston harbor one
of the Federal fleet which was
operating against Charleston
was sent to the bottom in short
ORDERLY the explosion of a tor
pedo under her bottom. Unless
the ingenuity of man can devise
some plan 70 protect iron-clads
from the operations of these
tiny but powerfully destructive
engines of modern warfare, this
formidable character of the
former, so far as their opera
tons in harbors and rivers with
narrow channels are concerned
will disappear.

Alarm al the Treasury.

a. Washington dispatch repre-
sents the United States Treasury
officials as much disturbed by a
severe decline Of the custom
revenues since raw sugar went
on the free list the first of the
month, q situation which is not
rendered more soothing by con-
sideration that provision must
be made for paying u sugar
bounties out of the Govern
ment's strong box after July l..
This, says the Buffalo Courier,
Is a phase of the matter to
which the Billion Congress gave
little thought before its adjourn
ment, though Democratic warn
ings were frequent that the re-
moval Of the entire duty on
raw sugar would probably be
disastrous to the public reven-
ues. 1t is probable that the
satisfaction of the Republican
press over the removal of a rev.
enue duty in order TO retain and
to increase protective duties
will not be so freely expressed
q month hence as 1t has been
since the beginning of April.
