At 1910 last evening Sheriff Steenrod
and Deputy Sheriff Bentz left for
Georgia, having in charge Edward Fill
ingham, the lunatic who is supposed to
belong to that state. Fillingham at
times becomes furious and is hard to
manage, and the trip down will not be
n very pleasant one, but after they are
relievedof the prisoner and start on the
return trip they can have a good
enough time TO mako up for the trouble
on the way south.

ADLAI E. STEVENSON.
Proctor Knott's Estimate of His Char
acter.

J. Proctor Knott has written the
following with reference to the Dem
ocratic candidate for Vice-President:
My acquaintance with Mr.. Steven
son, which began with the opening of
the Forty-fourth Congress, soon rip
ened into an intimacy which enabled
me to become thoroughly familiar
with every phase of his character. and
my estimate of his many admirable
qualities may be truly summarized in
the single statement that, taken all
in all, he comes as near filling my
highest ideal of model gentleman as
any one / ever saw. 1 do not allude
to his attainments as lawyer, to his
ability as a statesman, nor to any
of those varied talents which have
given him such just distinction
among the prominent men OF the
times. These are known and conced-
ed by intelligent people everywhere.
I refer to the gentle virtues so con-
stantly illustrated in all the relations
of his private life-the unaffected
kindness of disposition, the purity OF
/ thought, the guileless candor, the re-
atty to truth, the harmless mlrth, the
| forgetfulneSS of self, the tender re
gard for the rights and feelings OF
others and the genuine sympathy with
all around him. which make him the
prince of companions and the para
| gon of friends, which clOthe his pre-
sence with perpetual sunshine and Ill
his household with domestic affection
and happiness.

THE MOREHEAD EXCURSION.
What a Sentinel Man Saw and Heard
on the Trip.

The Morehead eXcursioniSts return
ed home at seven o'clock Friday night.
In point of pleasure the trip was a
success. Financially it was a failure.
The manager, Jas. A. Sanders,
was loser to the amount of $3.50
Only fifty-three tickets were sold to
parties leaving Winston. When the
train arrived at Morehead at 4:15
Wednesday morning there were only
about $50 passengers.
After taking two or three hours
rest the eXcurSiOniStS scattered out
Nearly every one went out sailing. A
party of ten started out out on the
ocean for the light house fifteen miles
away. 1t was a sea-sick party. Only
two escaped.
They passed by the light house but
were too i'll to stop. Even the boat
man became alarmed. Eight boys
and men were down at one time.
Several were praying to the Lord to
permit them to live to see their wives
and children once more. 1t was sad
occasion and one long to be remember
ed by the number ten party.

timid to undertake an ocean voyage.
He contented himself to sail with d

A BRAVE MAN.
He Sticks to His COlOrs in the Midst of
His Enemies.

A week ago Peoples party conven-
tion was held at Rocky Bidge church
in CabarruS county. Many speakers,
including Capt. ChaS. Mcdonald, a
prominent man and who by the way
participated in the Democratic State
convention, whooped up the Third
party nominees. Finally j. f. New
ell. press reporter, was called for.
The Concord Times says:
"When Mr.. Earnhardt sat down
the calling for j. f. Newell was re-
vived in such vigorous style that he
had to say something or be misunder-
stood. To remain silent longer was
acting the part of coward; to at
tempt to speak and maintain the
name of Grover Cleveland and defend
him instead of heaping yillificatiOn
upon him, meant to be howled down
by that strong Weaver crowd. But,
arising, he said: MIR. President, and
| fellow citizens: l am aware that your
calling for me is not meant as COM
pliment to meas fully aware OF that
| fact as any man who has called for
me. However, you seem determined
to know my political views, and you
shall have them. There are reforms

l hope,he will get, yet could not con
vince you of my sincerity in this mat

to accomplish these reforms by the
course you are pursuing. There Is
one thing-one thing highest and
above ali other things-that | hold

white supremacy in North Carolina
i and the Southern States. | shall cast
my vote for Grover Cleveland fol-

most important feature of the con-

of township conventions again later

Worlds Fair Notes.

An effort is being made to have the
cotton mills of Georgia make fine
exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The Worlds Fair Directory has eX-
pended up to date approximately seven
and a quarter million dollars.
It is proposed that something be
done at the time of the Worlds
Fair Auxiliary to bring about the uni
yersal adoption of decimal system of
weights, measurements and coin
age.
The exhibit to be made at the
Worlds Fair by Krupp, the celebrated
German gun maker, will represent an
expenditure of 81, 100000. The largest
cannon ever made, weighing 122 will
be in the exhibit.
An effort is being made to show by
an exhibit IN the Woman's building al
the Worlds Fair the relics and data
of the past and present literature
musical, dramatic, industrial an6
philanthiOpic work of women.

ashamed Of but great deal to be
proud of.

Senator Manderson Strongly Opposed

OMAHA, Neb., July 21.-In a letter
received by the Rev. John Williams
from Senator Manderson, on the sub
ject of Sunday closing, the Senator
says the opening of proper parts of the
exposition on Sunday would be doing
Gods service, and the closing of the
gates would be helping the cause of
the Devil.
Every saloon in Chicago can be en-
tered on Sunday, either at the front
or rear and there is no theatre that
does not give its Sunday night per-
formances. | believe that Sunday
closing means the encouragement Of
vice. and that it is not affOrding the
virtuouS fair chance for competition.
The very guides are simply rperpetu-
ating the blunder that has done so
much injury to the cause of Christi
anity. Men can no more be made
religious by law in this generation
than they were made Christians by
the sword in those that are passed.

From, tho NewS- -0hcarvar

From the News Observer
The North Carolina Worlds Fair
collecting committee and the Lady
Assistants have selected the design
for the North Carolina building at
Chicago. The design is the work of
MeSSrS. Glenn Brown and Willis E.
Hall. of Winston, who, by the way,
have achieved an enviable reputation
in the profession of architecture in
the South. 1t was chosen in lieu of
the Tyron palace. it being found
that it would not be possible to repro
duce the latter with its proper pro-
portions on the space allotted to
North Carolina. This is indeed a
high compliment to Messrs. Brown &,
Hall. The design is a beautiful piece
of work and will undoubtedly win
universal admiration.
The design is a typical North Car
olina home of the old Colonial period.
The building is 130X60 feet over all, a
broad porch in front, the roof OF
which is supported by four huge col

a massive and handsome appearance.
In the comb of the porch roof the

on account of the pressure of applica-

The establishment of such school
as this was first urged by the North
Carolina Teachers Assembly in seS-
sion at Black Mountain. in 1886 The
Superintendent of Public instruction.
Hon. 5. NJ. Finger. in his biennial
reports to the General Assembly re-

In 1889 a bill for establishing this
school passed the state Senate. but
was lost in the lower House.
At the next meeting of the Assem-
bly, in 1891 Gov. Fowle. in his message,

women. In the meantime the King S
Daughters had petitioned the General
Assembly to establish an Industrial
School for girls.
