HarDer'S Round Table.

For many years athletic sports of every
description have been recognized almost
as a part OF a college education, and so
general has the interest in these games
become that the schools all over the
country have formed leagues and associ-
ations which hold meetings in many ways
as important as the college gatherings.
1t is surprising to note how much atten-
tiOn is given to the different sports.
Harper's Round Table, which is a genuine
boys paper, devotes several pages every
week to these interscholastic games,
and treats OF the doings and records of
the young athletes fully and completely
The illustrations and tables printed in re-
cent issues OF this paper are truly valua-
BILE. In the issue of June 18th there will
be critical mention of the Pennsylvania
Interscholastic games and of the Maine
Interscholastic games of June LIST, The
following week the Round Table will record
the important meetings of the Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts schools.

THE South is attracting unusal
attention from capitalists and home
seekers, the press of the country and
the public generally. This prompts
the Rocky Mount Ayy0nant to make
the following observations:
Isn't it strange that you can scarcely
pick up paper now but what you find
long articles descriptive of the South
and all telling the same story OF
increased activity in every line of
tu,iness, starting up Of new enter
prIscs, great influx of people, etc? To
what does all this point? Some of ye
Rip Van Wrinkles will be surprised ere
long on waking up some fine day to
see enterprising men come in and pick
up the fortunes you have allowed to
lie right at your door for years never
seeing them. There are more oppor-
tunities for the investment of capital
and to realize bigger returns from
amount invested right here in the
South, and especially Eastern North
Carolina, than there are anywhere else
in the whole universe. We have
everything conducive to health, wealth
and happiness. Let's take advantage
of it.

A TRUE PHILANTHROPIST.

The Richmond 2obatconist makes
the following pleasant and deserved
reference to one of NORTH Carolina s
truest sons and most philanthropic and
public spirited citizens, Colonel Julian
S. Carr. 1t says:
The name Of Colonel Julian S. Carr,
Of Durham, n. c.. is ever associated
with broad, liberal acts, and almost
every week chronicles some great gift
to worthy enterprises. the last being z
$500 to the Trinity Methodist church
OF Durham. Such a generous man
must be good man and a useful man
and he has a right to be a happy and
prosperous and beloved man, and with
varied, educated and successful busi-
ness experience, he should be placed
on honor's roll of his State in any
position his friends might ask for him.
He is safe, sound, honest Christian
character, full of charity and good
deeds-never soured by failure OF
miscarriage in small or greater matters
to prevent his increased generosity.

SILVER IN MEXICO.

The antlsllverltes are SO busy in
trying 10 prove that silver in Mexico
is drug, and has ruined the country,
that we regard with pleasure the fol-
lowing statement from Mr.. Romero,
the Mexican Minister, as to its effect
upon Mexican prosperity:
"The Minister points out that while
other leading commercial nations have
the single gold standard, the silver
standard Of Mexico encourages very
largely the increase of export of
domestic products. The silver standard
also stimulates the development of
| home manufactures-the price offorelg gn
| commodities being so high that it pays
| we'll to make some Of them at home.
| Such plants as cotton mills, smelters,
etc., are consequently increasing con-
| siderably, and even some manufacturing
plants of the United States are being
taken to Mexico; nor has the purchas-
ing power of the silver dollar in Mexico
declined
One great advantage on which Mr..
| Romero lays stress is that the low
price of silver abroad makes it un-
profitable to export it. The clrcula-
ton is, therefore, increased, SO tha,
there is now an ample supply ofmoney
in the banks, which stimulates indus
try, maintains prices and increases the
| demand for labor.
On the other hand, the writer points
out that the silver standard has greatly
reduced importations, and the lmpor,
duties, which until recently were the
largest source of Mexican revenue
are much diminished. Charlottesville

Necessary Amount Subscribed to Pay
off the Indebtedness and the Fair
Will be Held.
1t will be gratifying not only to the
friends of the State Agricultural
Society. but to all patriotic persons
who have the interests Of North
Carolina at heart, to know that the
obstacles in the way OF holding an
exposition next fall have been removed.
The necessary amount to pay off the
indebtedness has been subscribed, the
dates fixed for the next fair and work
will be actively pushed from now on
to make it even better than it was last
year. From the Raleigh DAILY Press
we take the following:
Colonel julie Carr, President of the
Agricultural Society, and Secretary
Nichols, got together Saturday after
noon and began to hustle things tor
the next fair. They began work by
arranging the dates for the coming
fair. They are October 22nd, 23rd,
24th, 25th and 10th.
A committee composed of Captain
Claudius b. benson, K. H. Battle and
Pulaski Cowper was appointed to
revise the old premium list and report
Immediately. The committee will
meet tomorrow and make their report,
which will be put in the hands of the
printer right away. Mr.. Nichols says
he expects to have the complete list
of premiums ready for distribution in
two weeks.
Colonel Carr says we are going to
have the best fair in the history of the
Society. Colonel Carr does not belong
to that class of men who love 10 hear
themselves talk and he is just the man
to give US a record breaking fair. He
is a man of his word. Letters are
pouring in every day making inquiries
about the fair. Let the railroads give
a rate of one cent mile, and we
believe they will, and the success OF
the fair is assured.

DEATH OF DIR. C. II. BAILEY.

In the death of Rev. &. I. Bailey,
ID. d., editor of the Rrleigh Biblical
feforaer, which occurred last week,
the State loses one of its foremost and
most useful citizens, the editorial
profession one of its ablest and brightest
ornaments, and the great Baptist
denomination one of its strongest and
most influential members. He had
been in feeble health for some time
having suffered a stroke of paralysis
about two years ago, from the effects
of which he never recovered. DIR.
Bailey was in the Goth year of his
age. The Raleigh DAILY Press says
of him
Until about four months ago he was
able to come down the street every
day, conversing with friends and
directing his business. Lately, how
ever, he had grown gradually weaker,
when Sunday he was prostrated by
the oppressive warm weather and
grew constantly worse until death
came, which was hourly expected by
the family and physicians.
Dr. Bailey was the most active and
perhaps the most influential and best
known Baptist in the State prior to
the time of his paralysis. A notable
achievement was his making the
Biblical Recorder the best paying
piece Of newspaper property in the
State out of paper which had been
anything but successful before he took
hold of it. He was most liberal and
generous man, often doing good in an
unostentatious way where it was least
known. He was most successful in
his editorial work and perhaps he
showed himself to best advantage here.
His writings were forcible and con-
vincing and he generally employed
vein of subdued humor which had its
effect.
DR.. Bailey has been a conspicuous
man in organizing and directing the
forces O. the great denomination Of
Christians in the State, known as Bap-
fists. They owe great debt to his
memory, which will be preserved and
revered wherever the BibHeaIRecoydey
unfolds its bright pages to the hearts
and lives of its readers.
DR.. Thos. E. Skinner in speaking
Of him in his addresses and reminis-
Cences says;
This remarkable man has been
read and re-read by divers persons. l
never knew two of them to agree as to
the leading characteristics which make
the tout ensemble-the whole taken
together. He has been study to me
for fifteen years. do not think that
l ever knew him to say anything or do
anything just like anyone else would
or could. This marks him an original
man, full of point and real wisdom,
though frequently the wisdom would
be disguised by its quaintness of
expression.
lie was a most benevolent man,
and gave more to objects of charity, in
an unostentatious manner, in proper
tion to his means, than any brother of
my acquaintance.

SOME BIG ENTERPRISES.

The Durham Fertilizer Co., Of
Durham, N. c., which recently built a
plant at Norfolk at cost for construc-
ton alone of about S25o,o 900, is now
preparing to still further extend its
business by the erection of plant of
about the same capacity at Blacksburg,
S. c. This plant will take its sulphuric
acid direct from the chambers of the
Carolina Sulphuric Acid Co., which
has been built to reduce ores carrying
gold and sulphur, the sulphuric acid
being saved as a bi-product. The
Durham Feltilizer Co. telegraphs the
Manufacturer Record as follows:
"Our Blacksburg plant will be com.
pleted in September. Its capacity will
be $4,000 tons Of acid phosphate or
$4,000 tons of ammoniated fertilizer.
The equipment Of machinery will be
the latest and best improved.''
1t is an interesting fact that Durham
has given birth to number ofgigantic
enterprises. The American Tobacco
Co., the greatest tobacco concern in
the world, was a Durham undertaking,
and grew out of the cigarette business
of the Dukes. The Blackwell Tobacco
Co., s4,ooo,ooo concern, of which
Mr.. Julian S. Carr is president, known
wherever tobacco is smoked, CON-
pany which has been bold enough to
spend as much as 10000 year in
| advertising, was born in Durham, and
is still Durham concern. Now comes
this fertilizer company uniting in its
stockholders some of the leading men
OF these two tobacco companies, with
an apparent determination to become
as noted in fertilizers as they are in
tobacco. The success OF its local plant
stimulated its managers to build the
| large works at Norfolk, which are
hardly surpassed anywhere in COM
pleteness, and now the Blacksburg
plant follows. This alone will probably
| represent an investment of abou.
