THE STATE EAIR.

tile most aDIy edited ana aggres
sively progressive papers in the
state-one of the papers which adj
mits that there is room for i'm
provement in many things which
are permitted by law and sane
toned by society-one ofthe papers
which advocates reforms for the
sake of better government and pur-
|ermorals, has this tosay Of the state
fairl
There is nothing connected
with the State Fair to give it
claim to that title except the 81,
500 appropriation which it
draws from the State treasury.
Year after year have we
hoped to see a general exhibit
ton of the States products, but
as often have we been disap~
pointed. seeing only a few small
exhibits of domestic character,
some agricultural display from
farms run for the pleasure of it,
some sorry horse-racing more or
less marked with jockeying and
gambling, and over and above
them all a herd of fakirs with
catch-penny stands and shows
of lewdness and vice, disgrace
full to a civilized community.
Set the evil done by the
"shows" on the ground last
week over against the good done
by the exhibitions of stock and
domestic products, and there is
no comparison.
We are told that the most
disgraceful shows on the
grounds drew the largest
crowds, composed mostly of
school boys Of Raleigh and
young men from the country.
IL is no defence to say that the
fair authorities knew nothing
OF the character of these shows.
They are not new institutions.
1t was the authorities business
to know.
The truth is. the shows were
licensed because they paid the
price per foot for the ground
they occupied. .+
If the State Fair stood alone
without fakirs, horse-racing,
gambling and dances, under the
present way of doing things il
would not have ons hundred
patrons. But if these evils were
removed and an effort made to
get together an exhibition of
state products that would excite
our pride and command the ad-
miration of strangers, we would
have an occasion every fall
worthy of the countenance and
the support of the State, and
would win the approval of con.
stantly increasing attendances.
But as it is, the fair is not on
ly unworthy, but disgraceful.
The Biblical Recorder is right.
There is too much of the fakir
business at all our fairs, and this
last experience should be a warn
ing TO those who will have charge
Of it in the future. Colonel Bene-
han Cameron, the newly elected
president Of the State Fair Asso-
citation, is starting out right and
it is generally believed that he will
make a success Of what has al
ways been a doubtful enterprise.
Colonel Cameron's plan is to raise
all the money for premiums be-
fore making his list, and to be
sure he is in a position TO dis
charge obligations before essum-
ing them. When the people of
the state are sure that the associa-
ton can and will fulfill its prom
ises, they will feel some pride and
60 TO some trouble to make this
exhibit a credit 10 the state.
Let them get to work now and
cooperate with Colonel Cameron
in his communicable efforts.

The election last week empha-
sized the fact that while Republi.
cans may, upon occasion, submit
10 Boss rule, Southern Democrats
never will. The attempt Of Mr..
German in Maryland, and Of Mr.
Carlisle in Kentucky, to force the
party TO support their financial
ideas brought TO each Of these
Gold bugs his Waterloo.

The fact that Cleveland went
hunting on election day, and was
too indifferent as to results,to even
cast a vote for his party, shows
what sort ola patriot the Presi-

he cares what becomes of the
country, so long as his own bank
account shows a balance on the
right side.

faced as far out as 10Th street The re-
port was accepted. and then the railroad
committee reported matters in good shape
Mr.. France of the hall committee said he
had engaged the new town hall for use of
the association for one year, and on motion
the report was accepted and the committee
discharged.
The president of the association then an
pointed Mr.. S. r. Heipsley to fill the va
cancy on the railroad committee 1t being
deemed advisable TO increase the number
of members on the entertainment commit
tee SO as to insure a working membership
of at least seven, il was on motion decided
to appoint three new members to said COM
mittee, provided J. S. Mewshaw should be
one of the three. The chair then named
Messrs. p. F. Meaney and S. r. Hipsley to
complete the committee.
1t being reported that the only sidewalk
in Benning was sadly in need of repair the

cided to leave the matter of sale and dis
tribution of tickets to the entertainment

GOVERNORS AND THEIR RELIGION.


Oniy ono Claims To Have No Creed, Though
sixteen Have No Church Connection-AIl
the Others Church Members.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. TOT the A
State Governors in the American Union
30 are ayowed believers in religion.
20 are professed Christians, most OF
them are regular attendants at worship,
and a large majority are contributors
to the expense Of religious work. A
careful canvass of the subject made BY
the Times Herald'' discloses these
facts. Responses were obtained from
43 OF the State Governors and three of
the Territorial Executives. or the
State Governors, one, Mr. Culberson of
Texas, declined TO define his senti-
ments, and no ono would speak for him,
and another, Gov. Evans of South
Carolina, failed to respond. Among
them there are 10 Presbyterians: five
Congregationalists, five Episcopalians,
four Methodists, three Unitarians, one
baptist, one Christian and Is uncon-
nected with church organizations.
OF the 16 Governors unattached to
denominational organizations, 10 attend
religious services regurlarly or inter
mittently Ten of them have denomi,
national preference. or those who de-
clare denominations preferences three
are Methodists, three Presbytprians,
one Congregationalist, one Episcopa-
lian and one Baptist.
The most conspicuous Of the Method
list Governors are William Mckinley of
Ohio, and Daniel II. Hastings, and,
curiously enough, both are Presiden
tial candidates. Gov. Morton Of New
York, a Presidential candidate. Turney
of Tennessee, Watson of Delaware,
Prince of New Mexico, and Gar of
North Carolina, are Episcopalians.
Gov. Budd of California, in his reply
says he has no religion, but he believes
in the observance of Sunday as the
day of rest His parents are not be-
levers, and he was brought up as a
free thinker. Gov. Oates of Alabama,
says he is not a member of any church,
and that he never Joined but two in

courage to import a dozen for
