State Fair Notes.

The Raleigh papers have published
several columns of extracts from letters
from prominent people all over the
State, who have announced their
intention Of making exhibits at the
State Fair. In addition to thass, large
numbers OF letters are being received
from all sections Of North Carolina in
which it is asserted that the attendance
will be very large from all sections.
One Of the special features this year
will be the racing. The purses will
aggregate over $4,000. A large number
of superb running horses have recently
been brought into North Carolina, and
in Difference to the wishes of their
owners the State Fair has offered
liberal premiums for running races
every day. For trotting horses $500
are offered for the $40 class, 2:3j
class, 2:3O class, 2:2a class and the
e-for-all class. The three minute
class is offered purse of 5000, and the
three year old comes in for slO0.
The committee Of prominent educa-
tors, appointed by the North Carolina
Teachers Assembly, will meet IL
Raleigh on September the Sth, to per.
feet for Educational Day
which will be Tuesday of Fair week.
1t is to be regretted that Gen. j. B
Gordon will not be able to deliver his
address on Soldiers Day. which will bt
Wednesday: but a great feature O
interest to all old soldiers will be the
Cyclorama of the Battle Of Gettysburg
Mai. w. NJ. Robbins, of North Caro-
lima, and Commissioner Of the Gettys
burg Battle Ground Commission, has
written letter commencing tht
Cyolorama, and states that it will be &
! feature of interest to all North Caro-
linians.

which will attend the Fair.

Gallant Aot of a Gallant Soldier
fGOldsbOrO Argus.l

A stranger dropped in at our office
yesterday to place small advertise
ment, and in course of conversation
we noticed that four fingers of his
right hand were gone, and enquired if
it were the result of an accident at his
trade. "No," he remarked, 81 lost
that by a Confederate shell near this
very town, ard this is my first visit
here since. lost those fingers in ,hc
battle of Dcntonsville, on March 10Th,
1865" The gentleman in question
was Mr.. T. E. Harvey, who was of the
I6 Ill. Regt. He spoke only in praise
of the bravery and heroic endurance
of the Confederate soldiers, and when
told that at this very time we are
moving for a monument to those
Confederates who fell on the field at
Bentonsville, he modestly sought for
Capt. Balm and contributed generously
to the fund. That was a soldierly act
in the truest, bravest and best sense
OF the word-and, when coupled with
kindly words, as it was, it can not fail
of the deepest appreciation on the
part of our people. Mr.. Harvey left
on the afternoon train for Raleigh.

DON'T WAIT.

If you've anything good to say of a man,
Don't wait till he's laid to rest
For the eulogy spoken when hearts are
Is an empty thing at best.
All, the blighted flower now dropping
lonely
Would perfume the mountain side,
If the suns glad ray had but shOne to day,
And the pretty buds espied.
If you We any aims to give to the poor,
Don't wait till you hear the cry
OF wan distress in the Wilderness,
Lest the one fOrSOOk may die.
Oh, hearken to pOverty's sad lament,
BE swift her wants to allay;
Don't spurn Gods poor from your favored
door,
AS you hope for mercy one day.
If you be sickened with sins affection,
Don't wait to receive the balm
From frail, weak man who never can
The storms of passion calm,
Seek refuge in Him who will ne 'er despise
The penitent, earnest prayer
Hail blessed relief from tears and grief,
And the minds unceasing care
Don't wait for another to bear the burde n
OF sorrows irkSOme load
Let your hand extend to stricken friend
AS he tOtters adOWn life'S road.
And, if you've anything good to say of a
Don't wait till he's laid to rest
For the eulogy spoken when hearts ara

IN connection with iron industries, or

they make, and an abundance of
water power 10 furnish each and all IF
these with cheap motive power.
But to utilize these and make them
sources OF wealth requires both enter
prise and capital. more capital than
we have at command whether we had
the enterprise or not. As we have
not the capital ourselves the only thing
we can do is to invite and, as far as
we can, induce men who have capital
to invest TO put it into North Carolina
properties, and to do this North Naro-
lima should be advertised. We do not
mean doomed, but advertised, honestly
advertised, by telling the truth and
showing the goods to prove it.
individuals can not be expected to
do much in this line, but communities
can do great deal, simply by provid-
ing in some accessible locality for a
permanent exhibit of the varied i'm
perlshable products of the surround
ing country, such as the minerals,
stones, various kinds of wood, &c.
which should be added to as new dis
coveries were made. To the seeker of
information with a view to investment
or purchase such collection would
show at glance the character of
country he was in and would doubtless
result in investigation for himself, and
probably in investments. A little we'll
directed effort would soon give
publicity to the fact that such exhibits
could be seen, and they would be seen
by many who would otherwise never
be attracted to those localities.
Something on this line is now being
done in Charlotte, where the nucleus
of mineral museum, as it might be
called, has been started, from which
we have no doubt that Mecklenburg
and surrounding counties will reap
profit. 1t is a level headed scheme,
and by adopting it Charlotte has shown
herself level-headed as we'll as a
snappy city.

BRECKENRIDGE DENOUNCED.
His Opponent HON: W. G. Owens
Fearfuliy Flags the Brazen Buffer

They are having lively time i'll the
Ashland, KY, Congressional district.
In recent speech made at Lexington
by w. c. Owens the opponent of W.
c. P. Beckinridge some very plain
talk was INDUCED in. An account
says;
"Mr. Owens speech was short, but
terrific. In reference to Colonel Breck
inridge's claim that he could best
serve the party, Mr.. Owens said that
naturally the members of Congress
favor each other, but that if MI.
Breckinridge's friends would prepare
a statement that their candidate ell
joyed the respect and confidence of
his associates; that he is man Of
standing and influence, and that his
retirement from public life would be
calamity, and get majority of the
Kentucky delegation to sign it, the
speaker would withdraw from the race.
Continuing Owens said:
"Breckinridge says he is no longer
the candidate that manhood, woman
hood, and Christianity are moving for
him. Ye gods! the devil quoting
Scripture. Sarah Cess star boarder
prating about womanhood and Chris
tianity! Could malignant effrontery
go furtherF If this SANDER, the vilest
that human ingenuity or devilish ma
lignity can suggest, be not denounced
at the polls, then is indeed manhood
dead in Kentucky, and will find its
fittest funeral at the hands OF that
snivelling hypocrite, who seeks to EN-
balm our civilization in his own in
fanny.
"But why talk of Breckinridge
Suppose l should prove that last night
he robbed his best friend or committed
that crime for which we hang coiored
men in Kentucky, tomorrow he would
be the saine penitent sinner, demand
ing your support. Breckinridge tells
you the Northern newspapers are
against him but he forgets 10 tell that
all the Southern press are also against
him. The only daily paper in Ken
lucky that supports him is the Louis
vile Commercial, and it is a Pepub
lican sheet,

crucial test of battle, his cowardly
heart would sink in craven fear. But
let the history Of to-day forever silence
such detractors. The American BLOOD

Spartan pass, but the men from who's
veins it flowed were lily-livered coward

NORTH CAROLINA.
One of the Leading Papers of New
England Does the Old State Justice.

England DOCS the Olu STATE JuStlce.
Many Northwestern farmers have
become thoroughly tired of enduring
the trials to which their uncertain
climate subjects them, and are turning
their eyes toward the South as the
land of promise. A large number of
Nevada stock farmers and dairymen
are preparing to move to North Caro-
lima and purchase farms in localities
suited to their avocations. Within a
few years the immigration of farmers,
dairymen, poultry raisers, orchard,
small fruit and vegetable cultivators
from the Northwest and from our New
England States will assume consider
able proportions, and Piedmont and
Western North Carolina will receive
move of them than all other sections of
the South combined, for the people of
that State are more like those of the
North than any other, and their laws
and customs are more like those to
which Northern people are wonted.
There is less gush and sentiment and
more common sense to the square
yard in North Carolina than in any
State of " Dixie Land" 1t is better
State for New England men to go to
who are tired of life in their old home
and long to get amid new surround
ings than any of the newer States OF
the West, Washington only excepted,
and for men of energy, brains and
money enough to start with it offers
great opportunities.
New England is the best part of the
United States for young men if they
would only think so, but that is not to
! be expected. The Pilgrims of the
Mayaower transmitted to their pos.
terity spirit of enterprise and adven-
ture that has made these six States a
swarming hive for more than a century
and has sent their sons and daughter:
to develop the West in all the regions
that lie between Buffalo, Puget Sound
and the Golden Gate. But now the
Western opportunities are not what
they were, while in the South, old as
are its States, there are yet grea,
undeveloped areas and unlimited
sources of wealth of which New
England's young men may take ad
vantage. If they feel the impulse te
migrate, and insist upon leaving home
then by all means let them go South
instead of West. And, preferably, le
them turn their thoughts to North
Carolina, whose colonists at ths
beginning OF the war for independence
showed its fraterna! feeling toward
New England by shipping food to be-

WHAT FREE COAL WOULD DO.

What v ould be the effect of free Nova
Scotia coal at Boston? The Coal Trade
journal, which is the highest authority
on the subject. states that the whole
consumption OF btumnous coal in the
New England States for the year 1888
was about six millions OF tons. The rail
way authorities estimate that one ana
three-qUarter millions of tons OF these
six uillicns are used by railways. We
will allow only 10000 tons for general
heating purposes and steamboats, and
such. and we then find that manufactur-
ing IN New England only consumes four
millions OF tons, and the probabilities all
are Of much less.
The United States census for 1880 shows
that the manufactures Of the New Eng
land Stays OF Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut, New Hampshire, and
Maine. for the year 1890. amounted to
81, 46O, 4j7. 81 Suppose tax OF forty cents
a ton makes all the coal used for these
manufactures cost that much more. This
would add 81 coo 900 TO the price that these
States would have 10 pay for their manu-
featuring coal. This. applied TO the whole
value OF manufacture In these States,
would amount TO less than eleven one
hundredths Of 1 per cent Of the value
of the manufactures. Upon this scale
O suit of clothes costing $50 would have
added to its price three cents and three
tenths OF cent 4 hat valued at s.
would have added to its cost five and
half mills.
But, as we showed yesterday, if coal
were free the New Englanders would
still have this forty cents or more added
10 the price of their coal, since the Nova
Scotia Coal Company would sell their
coal to them just below what the West
Virginia and Maryland coal could be sold
10 them for and this coal company would
therefore pocket the forty cents ton.
instead of that money going into the
United States Treasury.
This whole thing is a great Job for
the benefit of this Nova Scotia Coal
Company. and is going 10 involve the
Democratic party In the SCI ndal of the
