The movemoD mt of the people was in
divers directions but mostly toward the
narrow little entrances and exits to and
from the trains. Everybody was glad
to soc somebody; everybody was hand
shaking, or looking for hand satchel
that had been misplaced, or perhaps,
kissing the wrong person in the rush.
A Misplaced Kiss.
For example, man just coming 10
with his fluffy monstache as full OF dust
as carpet in spring turned his head to
kiss a woman relative. Just at that
moment, another fluffy moustached
man abaut to go away did the same
thing, ard their moustachios came togeth-
er like two coaches with patent buffers
when the engine backs up A little
spasm OF dust few out of one OF the
moustaches. There was no SQUAD TO that
mans kiss, as the acoustic properties Of
moustaches give kiss a poor show.
And so it was a gulf OF people, from
500 to 900 at various timeg-some goir &,
some coming like the Mississippi going
up against the food sea.
Last night and early this morning
about thee hundred more came in. As
Senator Westmoreland said, as he left
the train yesterday afternoon, THE rest
of the folks will follow to night from my
section These came in this morning
from Concord, Lexington, Thomas, llle,
| High Point and other places tributary
| to these. The II O'Clock train this
morning will swell the numbers, and this
afternoon the people will run up into
the thousands against the well known
climatic Thursday of the North Carolina
| State Fair.
Yesterdays Attractions.
Yesterday, by the earliest train the
people took advantage Of the one cent
rate, which went into effect only yes
terday. It could not be arranged bet
ter, else the people would have come in
earlier. But as it was, everybody had d
| Jolly time The exhibits were being
Strengthened out, and things were being
started off Everybody was delighted
with the prospects. The procession
| went off in good time, headed by the
Morganton band which was a delight to
the people the day long.
The Governors Welcome.
AT the Fair Grounds, His Excellenoy,
Governor Carr formally opened the Fair
in brief, breezy speech.
The Governor said be had aiwaya
heard that it took three things to make
a fair: first, low rates second, fair wealth

rates, " he exclaimed; 1--WE hope We will
have the weather, and We will have the
women TO morrow"
The.Governor hoped not in vain fol-

Work of the State Experiment station.

Work of the State Experiment station
For the year ending June 80, 1895,
sixty-six bulletins were published by the
North Carolina State Experiment Station.
These were IL regular bulletins, making
$50 pages; 10 meteorological, 202 pages, s
specials, ia pages; % crop bulletins,
single pages; 7 press bulletins, one each;
one information bulletin, 2 pages; total
number pages, 754. The total number
issued, of all these bul etins is 246, 900.
In addition to these the station has pub
lisbed four reports, being in all l,lOo
pages, and an edition of A, 800.
Thirty five newspapers are supplied
with a monthly supply of agricultural
reading, carefully prepared by the ex-
perts at the station: This enables the
country weeklies to give their readers an
agricultural column almost every week.
In this way agricultural information is
scattered widely over the State, and Is
brought into the homes of the people.
The idea of issuing press bulletins
originated with DR.. H. B. Battle, chief
of the Experiment Station, and the first
bulletin was issued May gath, 1890.

into tninkIirg laughter Of stars, and
the pavements were going tit-tat-too

agricultural speeches ere.
After the Governors speech, the
crowd dispersed, and Ill the afternoon
came the races.
The Races.
The first race was a six furlong dash
for thoroughbreds. The entries were
Lewiston, Florence B, Lady Helen and
Sir Happy. After some delay at the
post, the horses got off to a good start.
For the first furlOpg, they ran in a bunch,
but as they started up the back stretch
Florence B. and Lewiston drew away
from the other two, Florence half neck
the best of her nearest competitor
when she struck the home stretch, but
after Lewiston got the whip and spur he
drew away like the race horse he is and
won easy. Florence B. was second,
Lady Helen third, and Sir Happy fourth
Three of the Get of Pamltc0.
The other contest of the day was q
trotting match for North Carolina three
year-olds that had never started in
race. The starters were Rubico, Yugo
and Pamlicole. All three were sired
by the great trotting stallion,
Pamlico. The first heat was won easily
by Rubicn, with P8mlicole second and
Yugo third. Time 2 so. The second
heat was also won by Rubico, with Yugo
second and Pamicole third. The third
heat was the fastest of the three and
proved very exciting. Yugo won with
Rubico second and Pamlicole third. The
next heat trotted was farce, Ruolco
won it in walk with P2miicole second
and Yugo last, but was get back for run
ming. No time was given. Pamlicole man
aged to stay on his feet, although she
she finished fifty yards behind Rubico.
Some kicking was INDUCED in by the
hackers of Rublco at this stage Of the
game After quite awhile the horses
scored up for the last heat, with Pamli-
cole at the pole. Yugo trotted one of
the prettiest heats ever seen on the track,
and was thought to have won the neat,
but Rubico came fast under the whip and
managed to get up in the last jump and
win by neck in the good time f 2:453.

number of operatives, and it is pro-
duced at much less cost than the pro-
duct of the northern mills. Finally
it is of higher average quality than the
northern product. So much for the
results of skill and experience.
"As to capital, hardly leading
southern mill but numbers among its
stockholders many northern investors.
Southern energy, southern capacity
and business shrewdness have been
the organizing forces. They have
shown that southern men have all
the qualities needful to command sue
cess, and can without foreign aid de-
velop great opportunity until it be-
comes a great success. Upon the
foundation laid by southern men, sa-
gacious northern capitalists have aided
to build a great superstructure, conf
dent in its firmness.
Leading investors in all river mill
stocks are also confident investors In
certain mills in the south, from
which they are receiving large divi-
dends.
among the capitalists of Worth
street there are many who have been
quiet investors in southern mills, and
were it fting to publish a list of the
Fdirectors of the mills of the south, the
number of Worth street capitalists to
be found amongst them would cause
sensation. In one such board elect
ed within few days, is prominent
Worth street merchant, great New
York clothing manufacturer, and two
New England manufacturers, identi-
fed with cotton goods; whilst among
the stockholders are Boston capitalists,
Maine manufacturers of woolens, and
others who have hitherto believed only
in northern investments.
Il put my first $4,000 investment
in southern mill, said a Worth street
merchant, Just to help a man along.
I did not regard my investment as
worth anything. Since then, I have
changed my opinion about southern
mills
"The merchant in question has now
propably $500,O00 invested in various
parts of the south in cotton mills. He
is one of the few who understand fully
the greatness of the opportunity.
Those who realize it are already large
investors. A steady current of north
ern capital is already flowing south /;
and the current seems likely to be-
come a torrent before long"

Giving Away Babies.

ATLANTA, Nov. 27.-Some Of the
fair attendants at the exposition have
received souvenirs they were rot ex.
pecting and this fact should remind
our wemen that they had better keep
their eyes skinned and not loose their
wits. Last Friday while Mrs. Geor.
gia Hammond. of Columbus, Geor-
gia who had attended the exposition,
was sitting in the waiting room OF the
depot in Atlanta, a woman, clad in
black and closely yelled, entered, car
rying the baby in her arms. She ask
&c Mrs. Hammond to hold the little
one for a few minutes, which she read,
lily consented to do. The woman new
er reappeared and search failed to find
her. Mrs. Hammond took the little
girl home with her. The child is
about year and half old and has
been named Atlanta.

A Story of the Sea.

NEW YoKK, Nov. 25.-Fourteen
passengers who arrived on the Ward
Line steamer Vigilancia from Havana
early to-day were found to be provid-
ed with no acclimated certificates
from the medical inspector at Havana,
and were transferred to Hoffman, s
Island, to await the expiration of five
days from the time of leaving Hava-
ma. They will be permitted to land
in New York tomorrow afternoon.
Among them were Capt. James Cur
ney, Jr., and seven of the crew of the
bark Bruce Hawkins, which they had
abandoned in a dismantled and wa
terlogged condition, November IA, 95
miles south of Cape Hatteras. The
Bruce Hawkins was bound from Sa-
vannah for Boston, and left the for
mer port November 9Th. She expert
enced strong winds and tumultuous
seas almost from the time of getting
nnder way, but all. these winds were
as zephyrs compared to the hurricane
which struck the bark on the 18th.
It came out of the northeast and in
three hours had well nigh dismantled
the bark and filled her with water.
All hands took refuge on the house,
while huge waves continually broke
over the vessel. One larger tnan the
rest swept Mate, Fraser off his feet and
overheard. Lines were thrown to-
ward him, but he quickly drifted be-
yond the reach of them, and hamper,
ed by his heavy clothing, soon sank.
All the stores were ruined and the
cabin was knee deep with water. On
the next day the Munson Line steam
er Ardannherr, from Philadelphia,
hove in sight, and being signalled,
stopped and took off the crew, land
| ing them in Havana. The. Bruce
Hawkins was left to her fate, and two
days later, $50 miles east southeast OF
Hatteras, she was sighted and taken
| in tow by the British steamer Henriet
H., bound from Port Royal, s. g., for
Plymouth, Eng, and towed into
Norfolk.

in abundance; but she cannot prevent
their free migration. They are all the

"This is not mere theory; it is a
plain statement of what is actually
happening now every day, and with
daily growing momentum. 1t Is the
bare truth that the south today has
better mills than the north-they are
the product of the best engineering
skill obtainable. and in every detail OF
construction and arrangement are OF
the highest and most scientific type.
They are equipped with the most mod,
ern machinery, embodying the latest
desirable labor-saving improvements,
and are of higher average efficiency,
attested by quality and quantity OF
output, than any but a few northen
mills. Moreover, they have been con-
structed at far less cost than other
mills, and represent much less cost per
spindle or per loom than the less ELI

MOrtars and Men.

During the recent trial of the new
Sandy Hook coast defences it was
found desirable that the striking
points of the big mortar projectiles
should be accurately determined. At
the long range of 5000 yards, or three
and half miles, the 800.pound mass
of cast steel buried itself ten feet deep
in the sand, and it is the duty of the
observer at the target to mark the po-
sition by a stake in order that the
shot may be afterwards dug up and ex-
amined. Two sergeants of artillery
had been detailed on this delicate SER
vice, and when the party of officials
and guests arrived at the target
grounds the observers met them smil
ing and enthusiastic and with their
hazardous work successfully per-
formed. A newspaper reporter asked
one of the men how he enjoyed the
task of retrieving cannon-balls.
'1t WAS beautiful, sir; beautiful"
said the smiling sergeant. 81 stood
there pointing at spot twenty-five
yards from one stake) and l could
see 'em coming. They turned straight
and came down point down. They
threw the sand up like water and
scattered it in every direction. 1t was

''Were you not afraid?" demanded
one man.
"What would be afraid of, sir?"
asked the sergeant.
Was there ever finer example of
true pride in ones profession? The
familiarity that breeds contempt could
never have spoken thus of a peril
compared to which tiger. beating in an
Indian jungle is but dull and sopo-
rife pastime. 1t is indeed an admir-
able quality of moral courage that is
here presented, the educated sang
froid of the man who neither underes-
Inmates danger nor runs away from
it, the pure impulse to duty that looks
for no reward and seeks for no end
