CULORED STATE FAIR.
Governor Carr Made the Opening Ad.
dress.

The Colored State Fair opened in
Raleigh October 31st under favorable
and promising auspices, says the News
Observer-Chronicle. The attendance
was encour aging for the first day, and
the exhibits very creditable. The
various departments were well filled
with the evidences Of the advance
ment and skill of the colored race in
this State, and the proofs were as
conclusive as they were gratifying.
The opening address was made by
Gov. Carr and it was able and inter-
esting. He congratulated the negroes
of North Carolina upon their i'm
provement and their constant advance
ment since their emancipation. He
declared that the North Carolina col
Ored people were the best in the
world and that the relationships be-
tween them and the white people
were more kindly than anywhere else.
Auditor Furman followed the Gov
ernor and his remarks were on the
same general line.
The principal features of the
program, besides the speaking, was
the races, both trotting and running,
ald a baseball game in the after
noon.

State Secretary Coulter VIII Conduct
the Week of Prayer Services

The membership canvass for the
Association is now well on for the
new season and the expectation is
that renewals will be promptly and
generally made.
For good reasons the WinstOn-Sa-
lem Association will postpone the OBJ
servance of the Week of Prayer for
young men to the third week in this
month, when State Secretary Coulter
will be here to conduct evangelistic
meetings each night.
AT Greensboro the financial canvass
in behalf of the Association has been
very successful as nearly all of the
$500 needed for the years work has
already been pledged. 1t is to be hoped
that the local work will soon fare as
we'll.
President III. e. Rondthaler is busily
engaged in forming the standing com
mitteeS of the Association and of the
Board of Directors. These are the
working bodies which take charge of
the different Departments of the effort
and upon their energy and ability de-
pends largely the success of the organ

THE FIRE.
nIr A. ID. Mickle's Residence Dam
aged by the Fiam mes.

A fire alarm was turned in from box
No. %, corner of Fifth and Summit
streets, at 2:30 p. M, November End.
The fire was discovered in the base
ment of the residence of Mr.. A. d.
Mickle, near the corner of Summit
and Fifth streets.
When discovered the entire base
ment under the rear of the building
was ablaze and little hope was enter
tanned that it could be saved. But by
the help of neighboring force pumps
and the timely assistance of the fire
departments the flames were eXtin-
guished before there was any great
damage. The most serious injury to
the building was the charring of the
sleepers and other foundation tim
berS.
Indications point strongly toward
incendiariSm as the origin OF the IRE.
During the confagration a rumOr was
started to the effect that it caught
from a box of hot ashes; but inveSti
CATION showed that there had been
no ashes put in there for weeks past:
and the bed of the fire was in pile of
split stove wood in one corner of the
building. The fire worked up be-
tween the plastering and weather.

some damage was done.

THE COLECfORSHIP.
Will Kope Elias Be Again Appointed
to the Office.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch says: 1t is
understood that the Senate will not
act on the nomination of kope Elias,
to be Collector of Internal Revenue
for the Western District of North
Carolina, and under the rules of that
body, if it adjourns without action,
his nomination no longer remains on
the books. Then it will re-
main with the President whether or
not Mr.. Elias shall again be appoint
ed. There is considerable talk here
to the effect that some of the strong
est hackers of Elias have abandoned
him in order to save Simmons, nomi-
mated to be collector of the other
North Carolina district, and it has
caused commotion.
Colonel Paul B. Means, of Concord,
n. c., is here, and it is said his pres
ence at this time is in reference to the
Collectorship fights.

Judge Winston Surprised.

1t appears that Judge Winston was
greatly disappointed at the verdict Of
mot guilty." rendered by the jury in
the Stevenson murder case. The
Greensboro Record is told that the
evidence was very conclusive, but
Stevenson's brother, who had money,
hired four good lawyers who in some
way ''dumfuddled" the jury who
brought in verdict of not guilty.
"What's that?" asked the Judge,
when they announced the verdict.
1t was repeated, when he said: 81
am sorry for this county, that it owns
such men as you. If l had the power
1 would punish you severely"

are in their Glory.

The bird law has been declared off

the law expired in hieing himself off
to the fields. The Winston sports
men claim to be in the ''swim." The
game, by reason of the protection Of
the law up to so late date, is said to
be remarkably fine. The birds are
plentiful and the lovers of the sport
in Winston know how to kill them.
