Let the Governor Help!
lAsheville Citizen.l


THE DURHAM GLOBE proposes TO give
$3.50 TO an exhibition at the Worlds fair
and label il North Carolina" IL no
other man or individual donates n penny.
But THE GLOBE hopes, and so do we,
that there will be great many more pen
nies in the form of substantial checks
contributed for this purpose, and that
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the state
credit. But how is this TO be brought
about: 1t occurs to The Citizen that the
governor would be the proper person to
give the thing a start. A powerful ad-
dress from him might awaken the peo-
pie to a full realization of what North
Carolina must miss If it is not so gener-
ously represented at Chicago as TO at
tract the attention Of a goodly percen-
tage of the visitors. Atthe present time
we are not going to anticipate the gov
ernor and point out the immense advan-
tages that such an exhibition as that at
Chicago will be sure TO afford. We are
only going to remind the people of
Asheville that it will be curious COM
mentary on their good sense if they fail
to see what the furthermost nations of
the earth already see, and are acting
upon, that the fair at Chicago will cer-
tainly be the greatest the world has ever
known-greatest not only as a show,
but as a means of making money, of ad.
ding to our population and to our
wealth
1t will not be anticipating the governor
if we say that there should be an Ashe-
vile exhibition whether there is one for
North Carolina or not, and II is also
proper and timely TO remind all who are
interested-and who is not that much
more Of delay means that we shall be
shut out altogether, Already the fair
managers have begun of necessity 10 re-
fuse more space to some foreign exhibit
tors who see-what if we see we have yet
to act upon-that the Worlds fair at
Chicago is an opportunity that comes but
few times in the life of any one genera

We Are with You.
Franklin Times

THE DURHAM GLOBE is making strong
and earnest efforts TO raise a creditable
sum, by subscription, to defray the ex-
pense Of an exhibit of the states resources
at the Worlds fair which is to be held in
the city of Chicago. THE GLOBE heads
the list with $3.50, and urges all patriotic
people in the state 10 join in. While the
bank account of the Times will not bear
very large subscription, We desire to
say that our heart is right with you,
Brother Fairbrother. The state should
be we'll represented, and the one thing
needed to make grand exhibit Is a suffi-
cient amount OF money.

\ Few Observations About the New Hotel
and What Mas Said

\ Few Observations About the New Hotel
and What Was said.
The GLOBE, after getting for a fact the
information that Colonel Carr had come
into possession Of the Clai! orn property
and hearing that be proposed to do some
thing, asked dozen citizens what they
thought.
One said, at will be thing Of beauty
if julie Carr takes hold"
Another said, "Glory-we need it-I am
-lad that this has happened"
And so on-all expressed great salts
faction, and all said that the town now
could never go backward.
The GLOBE has earnestly and honestly
hoped for new hotel, and its belief is
outlined in the above expressions.

ABOUT NEAL.

Lee Neal Refuses. on Advice of w. w.
Fuller, His Attorney, to Talk.
Lee Neal is in the city guard house.
He has be en- doing work for Tom Martin
in the prize house of that tobacco mer-
chant.
Lee SAYS that Fuller told him to talk
only about the weather. AS the weather
is always a good subject, Mr.. Fuller's
fine discrimination is to be commended.
But Lee says that he does not know
just how old he is-but thinks about 90.
He is accused of holding Jones while the
other fellow did the work-that Of killing
him in cold blood.
Neal is now in Jail awaiting examina-

A RErORTER'S TALK.

What a Globe Reporter Turns In Concern
ing the Murder Last Night.
Shortly after midni .ht last night, when
the hum and CHATTER Of machinery was no
longer heard, and heavy footsteps, caused
by the hurryiig to and fro of passers by
on our streets, was no longer audible,
denoting the fact that business was over
for the day when the moon in all its
glory was shedding its pale blue light
over the earth, and the stars were CLEAN.
ing brightly overhead and all nature
seemed hushed, startling crime was
committed. A soul was ushered into
eternity without warning and in all prob.
ability unprepared.
Below are the facts in the case as we'll
as a reporter could ascertained them from
an eye witness Of the scene
A crowd of half grown negro boys
were in attendance upon dance in the
house of one Wesley Dunnikin, and after
all the festivities of the occasion had
been dispensed with and the crowd was
on the eve of departure, it seem that
Bryant Jones, driver for Mr.. Albert
Kramer of this city, or the murdered
ping up to one Charles Stevens, addressed
him in exceedingly harsh language, tel
ling him with an oath that "he would not
kick up at anybodys house like he had
done" whereupon Stevens retaliated with
an oath and with the question as to what
he had to do with it. Jones then said ::
II will show you what have-to do with
it. have good notion to bust your
head open" With this he ran back few
steps an sciZing a short piece OF wood,
evidently cut for stove purposes, he again
approached Stevens Stevens put his
hand in his hip pocket, wnereupon Jones
said, with an oath, You try to cut me
and will kill you" With this he dealt
the accused murderer heavy blow upon
the head, causing him to reel and stagger
Again he struck him with terrible force.
causing him to sink to the ground. Aris
ing he was again struck down, AMI h
arose the second time, and with lowered
head he made for his antagonist.
No one saw the knife that did the
deadly work. but nevertheless he was
cut, and the supposition is that Stevens
did the cutting. u
The reporters informer in regard to |
this matter stated that Jones didn't for
the time being seem to be hnrt seriously, :

WHAT WAS DONE!
HOOOLUMS GIVE THE Y. M. C. A. A
LIVELY CHASE.

The Secretary Promises to Get the Names
and Arrest and Prosecute Each of
the Smart Alecks.
The informal social in the rooms last
evening was quite a success in most re-
spects, especially as regards the attend
ance and the character of the entertain
ment The pleasure of the evening was
considerably marred by the outrageous
conduct of crowd of hoodlums in the
rear of the hall. This disturbance viii he
sifted to the very bottom and the names
of the guilty parties will be obtained if
possible and all who fail to give assur-
ances of good behavior in future will be
dealt with Steps will also be taken to
avoid repetition of the trouble in future.
The programme as published in these
columns, with two or three exceptions,
was carried out.
The orchestra played several very fine
selections which were thoroughly en-
joyed.
The quartette composed of Messrs. J. J.
Ward, r. E. White, Vernon Darnall and
r. G. Buckner, sang two very pretty
selections.
Mr.. j. ID Wilbon played a trombone
solo with orchestra accompaniment which
ELECTED hearty applause.
Misses Ada Hanks and Lizzie Harris
rendered in a very artistic manner a beau
tiful duet on the piano
Mr. Arthur Davis was forced to re-
spond to a hearty encore on his cornet
solo
Miss Bette Blair gave humorous re-
citation which completely caplivated the
audience.
Messrs T. E Cheek and Arthur Davis
played a cornet duet with much express
sion.
Miss Sudie Cain sang waiting" in her
own inimitable manner, which was thor
oughly appreciated.
Miss Carpenter recited "The Ride of
Jennie McNeill'' in very artistic man
ner, and showed herself fine elocu-
ZIONIST
Misses Annie Ramsey and Ollie Snow
played beautiful piano duet
Miss Zoa Rigsbee was forced TO re-
spond to an encore on her recitation en-
titled How Ameriky was Converted
Prof r G. Buckuer recited The Or
phan's Prayer" with much depth of feel
ing and expression.
1t was matter of regret that the piano
solo of Miss Lena Allen and the clarionet
solo of Mr. John Seeman- had TO be
omitted.
Miss Allen rendered valuable service
as accompanist for the cornet solo by
Mr.. Davis and Prof. Vernon Darnall did
yeoman service both in drilling the
quartettes and as accompanies for several
participants.
At the conclusion of the programme
fruits and nuts were served by a COM
mittee of ladies.
1t is hoped that arrangements can be
made for another social evening next
month

That Democratic celebration was post
poned too long. Had it taken place
Wednesday evening there would probably
have been some real enthusiasm. But the
weeping of the sympathetic skies over the
defeat of the Republican party prevented
any public demonstration of Democratic
Joy until yesterday. It would please us to
be able to say that 1t was shining success
when it did come, but it wasn't. Even the
cannon on the Green yesterday afternoon
didn't act as if it enjoyed ITSELF 1t has
figured in too many Republican celebrations
to be suddenly attuned to Democratic en-
thusiasm. At short distance from the
Green its sound was like that made by q
big board dropped on the sidewalk and
not a good, clear boom. And the
parade last evening was not what
it was expected to be, or what it
ought to have been. There was some red
fire, but the anticipated display of Demo
cratic fire was sadly lacking. One of the
bands played as If the affair were funeral

their limitations of feeling, and that it was

A QUEER PERSECUTION,

The aggressive and fast-spreading Meth
odist Church has met with a check in
Vienna, and it now looks as if the church
there had been completely wiped out, as a
police edict has been issued suppressing
the congregation. Some time ago the au-
thorities demanded copy of the articles
of the Church, and the pastor, Mr.. Rosch,
handed them copy OF the twenty five
articles which John Wesley selected from
the thirty-nine of the Church of England.
In the twenty-second of these the Sacrifice
of the Mass is termed a "blasphemous de-
ceit," and this expression was the direct
cause of the official persecution. It was
pointed out to the authorities that the
Lutheran Church had the Same article in
its creed, and only rescinded it few
years ago, because it was an offence to the
Roman Catholic Church, and that the
articles of the English churches at Meran
and elsea here throughout Austria contain
the paragraph in question. ALI protests
were unavailing. The courts of appeal
were resorted to in vain. Before them the
plea concerning the offending article of
faith was abandoned, the contention being
that the meetings of the Methodists had
become too large to be tolerated under the
right of private worship in Austria. An
appeal was then made to the Minister of
Education, who has decided that the mem
bership is too small to be entitled to State
recognition.
The decisions that the Methodist church
in Vienna is both too large and too small
are rather contradictory, but they make it
evident that it isn't wanted there. The
persecution of the church is both ridiculous
and discreditable.

CURIOUS DECISION,

It was to be expected that the managers
of the great show at Chicago would make
some mistakes, but when they voted to
shut up the show at 7 O'Clock p. m. they
made bigger mistake than was necessary.
The makers of electric apparatus are
especially aggrieved by this decision. The
managers of the fair made arrangements
for an enormous quantity of electrical
lights, arranged for illuminations of build
ings, for electrical fountains, for multi
tudes of electric lights under water, etc,
etc and it is pertinently asked of what
use will these be if the fair is to be closed
at o'clock, before it is dark. The ex-
perience of the Paris exposition is cited.
The exposition was opened in the evening
and the attendance was greater in the even
ing than in the day time. Only part of
the buildings were opened at night, but the
outdoor spaces were made wonderfully
beautiful by profuse and skillful light
ming and the more conspicuous buildings
electric lamps. The beauty and novelty of
the scene, the music, and the exhibits in
the open buildings proved sufficient to at
attract more visitors at night than
during the day. One of the peo-
testers says: Now think of the foolish
ness of the rule adopted by the national
commission closing the gates at O'Clock.
All the features which have mentioned
have been actually contracted for and must
be carried out. OF what use will be the
beautiful fountainsa Of what use the sub
marine lighting. OF what use the II 1000,
900 candle power electric light if the gates
of the Fair are not to be open evenings!
This night show will form a marvellous at
traction to the people of Chicago and to
visitors. 1t will not be necessary to have
machinery running at night; people would
not stop to look at it. Music, electric
| lights, promenades, water, flowers, pict.
ures, are all that people will care to see
or take note of. 1t would avail nothing te
open machinery hall, because at the frs
note of brass band the people would rush
outside to listen to the music. The per
sons who visit the park at night will, gen
orally speaking, be tired of mental ant
physical labor. They will care only to b
amused.
There is such storm Of protest agains
the decision that it will probably b.
changed. There are very few REASONABLE
objections to having the fair open evening
and many good reasons in favor of it.
