h. A. POWELL.

There is every reason why Sheriff
Powell should be elected to succeed
himself. He has performed his duties
we'll and faithfully, 10 the satisfaction
of the people and the best interest of
the tax payers. Conscientious, straight
forward, considerate, and an accom-
modating official, he has done what
few men could have done in the same
position made friends while in the
discharge of his duty. But the fact is
he knows how to perform disagreeable
task in such pleasant manner that it
becomes somewhat a pleasure rather
than an annoyance to the man he calls
on tor taxes or serves a summons on.
Plain, honest, whole souled Rat"
Powell is of the pattern that suits
them, and an assurance Of this kind
will be conveyed to his opponent
through the ballot box next Tuesday.

THE STATE FAIR.

When the GOLD LEAF said some
time ago that the State Fair this year
would be the GROWING glory of its
past history-,he biggest thing of the
kind ever seen within our borders-it
believed time would verify the correct
ness of such prediction. Without
making any claims to being a prophet
it understood the character of the
gentlemen at the head Of affairs
President Carr and Secretary Aver
and knew they would be satisfied with
nothing short of a successful fair and
success they would make it. And they
did, as the thousands upon thousands
of visitors who went to Raleigh and
thronged the fair grounds last week will
testify to. Every department was
we'll represented and the verdict of
all was that the fair was a brilliant
success in the highest and fullest sense
of the word. Some of the individual
features alone were worth going to see
if there had been nothing else. Among
these were the stock exhibt-fat cattle,
sheep and hogs; the poultry show,
representing several hundred fine
specimens of different varieties of
chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, pet
animals, &C. Floral and Agricultural
halls were full of pretty things, while
the department of machinery, the
display of buggies and wagons and the
various other sections were both
interesting aid instructive. Where
there was so much to see and so much
to write about we can not undertake
to 60 into details. Suffice it to say
those who attended the fair were we'll
repaid for so doing, and those who did
not can not realize how much they
missed.
Great credit is due President Carr
and Secretary Aver for their untiring
efforts in making the State Fair the
splendid success it was. Indeed, the
State owes them a debt of gratitude
for the service they have rendered in
bringing together such fine collection
of the products of the soil, the mills,
factories, household articles, fine arts,
blooded stock, &c, and spreading
them out in panoramic view as object
lessons for our people. The Society
did the wise and proper thing in
unanimously reelecting these gentle
men and it is gratifying that both
slgnifled their acceptance. Already
they say the next Fair will surpass the
one held this year. May be so, as
there is no limit to the working
capacity or Curbing of the laudable
ambition Of such men as julie Carr and
Hal Aver, but we do not know how
they can we'll improve upon what they
did this time.

Henry in OnslOW.

A correspondent writing from
Wilmington to the Ne,cs and Observer
under date Of October 22nd, says this
of Mr.. w. r. Henry's speech at
Jacksonville, Onslow county:
Capt. Swift Galloway and Hon. W. r.
Henry spoke to quite large crowd at
Jacksonville to-day. Great enthusiasm
was manifested in what was said At
the close of Mr.. Henry's speech three
rousing cheers were given him.
Mr.. Henry is winning many votes for
the Democratic party and the people OF
Jacksonville did not hesitate to say that
he had given them the finest speech that
had ever been delivered here.
The citizens of Pollocksville sent press
ing invitation to Mr.. Henry for him to
speak there tomorrow, but he was
unable to accept on account of his
appointment at Elm City.
Miss Jessica Smith won three frs
premiums on some art work-oi
paintings, water colors, etc. of hers
at the State Fair last week. Among
them were "a Bit of Vance County
Scenery" "Aurora,'' a copy after
Casabeni, the famous portrait painter
of Rome, the monitor and Merri
mack" a basket Of flowers, mirror and
screen, etc. This group Of paintings
were much admired by art critics.

THERE IS no cause whatever for
turning Sheriff Powell down, and he
will be reelected by large majority.
Numbers of persons who voted against
him last election will work for and
vote for him this time. They know
good thing when they see it and in E.
A. Powell they know that Vance nor
any other county ever had a better
sheriff. He has been the friend Of all
the people-white and colored alike
and will continue so to be.

w. F. STROUD, the conglomerate
candidate for Congress against Capt.

like bar of soap after a number Of
weeks washing, when the election is
over. 1t is hardly possible for him to
dwindle away that much, but it is
certain fact that he is now about as
near Congressman as he will ever
be. Cooke will wipe up the earth

Y. M. G. A. NOTES.
Mr.. Hicks Address-Dr. Morton Next
Sunday-PrOf. Smiths Lecture.


Between 81 and 40 men gathered in
the Y. M. c. rooms Sunday, the 2sth,
to attend the service, conducted by
Mr.. T. Z. Hicks. Mr.. Hicks pointed
out the danger of certain wrongs being
cloaked in the protecting mantle Of
ing in immortality that is subject to
constant accretiOns in fields where the
immortality has been established, and
where it las begun to be recognized.
even by moral men, as an almost
necessary evil.
He considered especially the political
field, and lie was guided in his consider
alton of the subject, by the election,
now pending. He emphasized the
danger of letting the distinction between
right and wrong be marked by broad
line. A mans character is influenced
by countenancing evil in the political
field, and he is in danger at this point
unconsciously. The partisan places
his candidate before the people in
light too favorable, gives him virtues
that he doesn't possess, and decelves
him whom he wishes to influence. He
dstorts acts in the candidate whom he
opposes, and makes them have a S ig-
nificance that he knows he should not
possess.
Mr.. Hicks masterful presentation of
his subject ELECTED the appreciation of
all present 1t would be futile for us
to essay an analysis of what the speaker
said. 1t was replete with good thought,
sound and logical to the core. The dark
hair of youth and the white hair of
advanced age who failed to hear him
missed an intellectual repast.
NEARER May God to Thee" grandest
of anthems, was cxquisitely and
effectively rendered by Mrs. J. S.
Burwell. Miss Bette Blacknall pre-
sided at the organ in her usual facile
and finished way.
DR.. Morton will conduct the services
next Sunday. You are cordially in
vited to come.

THE OFFICE OF SHERIFF.

The office of Sheriff is, perhaps, the
most important office to be filled by
the voters of Vance county at the
election now pending. Upon the
manner in which the incumbent dis
charges his duties depend the proper
execution of our laws as interpreted by
our courts, and the conservation, as
we'll, Of the peace. aid good order of
our people. No single official could
interpose greater obstacles in the way
of the just administration OF the laws
or more efectually balk or render OF
no avail the judgments and DEGREES Of
our courts.
The Sheriff is an officer who can be
powerful fer either good or evil, and,
as the office is a non-political one, it
behooves the honest voter 10 carefully
weigh the merits and dement's of the
candidates before them for that position.
E. A. Powell, the present incumbent
and candidate for reelection, is man
eminently well qualified for the office
mentally, morally aud physically, as
shown during the two years he has held
the place. He is an individual, in
short, who presents in his open and
expressive countenance, as we'll as in
his dealings with his fellows, the: i'm
press of an upright and honorable man.
There is no stiffness or reserve in his
manner, nothing to repel approach
and confidence, but everything to
encourage them.
His opponent, w. H. Smith, is OF
an entirely different mould and seems
lacking in the very characteristics that
SO distinctly mark Powell as man of
the people. He was repudlated at
polls last election and will be again.
THERE is no reason why single
Democrat in the district should not
| vote for Charles NJ. Cooke for Congress.
Ir is the duty of every legally quail
fed voter to so to the polls and cast
his ballot for good men to fill the
various offices, county and State. This
is duty that each must perform for
himself. Others may do the speaking
and active work of the campaign but
each for himself must do his voting
No man who stays away from the polls
has any right to talk about mismanage-
ment and bad government. Do your
full duty toward correcting the evil:
complained of and then you may talk
with some degree of good grace il
things are not exactly as you would
have them. So do not stay away from
the polls next Tuesday.

Charles NJ. Cooke, for Congress.
