HE MADE MONEY.

Judge Denny, of Lexington, had a
peculiar experience in Menifee county,
Kentucky" said a man from the Blue
Grass State to a Washington Star re,
porter. "The judge is one of the most
eloquent stump speakers in the R9pub,
lican party, and no n al make a
stronger tariff argument. He was charg-
ing the Democratic administration with
the financial depression in an outdoor
meeting near Frenchburg-'Who' he
asked, lis making any money! If any
one is l would like to see him."
"After the meeting closed a man
came up and, taking the judge to one
side, said: I'm the man yo' axed for
in the meetin'. Course l could not
make no sign in thet crowd, but I am
ready to do business"
You are what mana" asked the as
tonished orator.
The man that's maxim tn money
out hyar you talked bout"
"Oh," replied the judge. well,
what are you makingI'
Nothing but half dollars, but 1 have
a brother in Bell county who makes
dollars, an 1 reckon I could git you
some. Yo' hev a pow'ful chance ter
pass 'em goin' 'roun', but l never would
a thought to spoke if yo' hadn't axed
fer me-"
1.-The rather startled statesman could
do nothing but make an appointment
with the man, and then leave the
county as quickly as possible"

On Tuesday, a carryall filed with a
picnic party stopped before the house
and hurrahed. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
~bareheaded, walked from the house.
Mr.. Bryan stood on the steps of the
carryall while the young people reached
forward and shook hands with him.
Are you girls all for free silver9'
he asked.
Eyes, every one of us3"
"Good"
Mrs. Bryan stepped into the carry all
and shook hands while her husband
stopped to joke with one of the many
small boys who have learned to regard
the candidate as a good fellow.
At odd times he is found strolling
about the streets, stopping along the
way to joke with children or chat seri-
ously upon campaign issues. He
drops YER to. the village hotel and
mixes with the people. T1e suggestion
that there is a lack of dignity in this
easy, familiar life of a Presidential
candidate occurs to one who
sees it.
The reception of the people at Upper
Red Hook to Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan on
the night of their arrival was really
delightful. About ono thousand PEG
pie were in the village square, and not
a policeman among them. The only
strained feature of the effAir was the
effect of Judge Jacob E.lseffer to go
down in local history as the man who
welcomed Bryan. The "Jege" read
pompously a long scroll of welcome.
The restraint was instantly removed
when Mr.. Bryan began to speak. IN
embarrassed by manuscript, he talked
in a plain, easy manner, as though ad
dressing his own neighbors.
He writes hundreds of autographs
each day on cards, which are sent to cor
respondents from all sections of the
country. The village small boy wants a
Bryan button from Bryan's own hand
goes to him and gets it. With the
button goes a CHEEKY smile. The ine-
vitable snapshot mar is amazed by a
welcome. The mere suggestion that
he wants a picture is quite sufficient.
Mr.. Bryan is always ready to pose for
it.-New York World"

PLAIN BILLY BRYAN.

The Upper Red Hookers, as the PEG
pie here call themselves, expected that
Mr.. Bryan would conceal himself from
them, except when he was met by
delegations with long written addresses
of welcome. To the astonishment of
these people Mr.. Bryan ome and
goes among them with less dignity
than is shown by the justice of the

him. Five arrived from Pine Plains a
day or two ago.

leader of the party, of Uncle Martin

"Settin' yonder on Perrine's piazzer, "

drove fifteen miles, and reconed
we'd like ter get a peep at him any
how" said the man.
"Peep at nothln'; jest walk right
over thar an shake with him an his
wife. Amt no style bout him." said
Uncle Martin.
The farmers walked to the road and
gazed at the house until Mr.. Bryan
walked out, and with a broad, open
smile greeted them. Within two min
utes they were chatting in a familiar
way upon common topics. Mr.. Bryan
told humorous stories. of which he has
a goodly store, made inquiries that ex
hibited actual interest in their affairs,
and wrote his autograph for him.
When the farmers returned, one
said to Uncle Martin:
"Ill be darn'ed if I don't like himI 7"

RAIN PROMISED.
DR.. Blacknall and Charley White Hold a
Consultation.


Consultation.
DR.. Blacknall was in town yester-
day.
AS usual, he and his right bower,
Mr.. Chas. White, drove out to the
country and the conversation turned
to the droUth, and the Doctor ventured
to tell how it was that Raleigh had
such a glorious rain Monday, all on
account of the doctor having killed a
snake and hung it up.
This made Charles somewhat com
municative, and he told the doctor
that we could have had two good rains
lately had it not been for the Ward
boys at the hotel, who were continually
teasing him, and he would not hang up
the last two snakes he killed because
he was mad and the Wards had large
garden drying up.
"Ehis will never do, Charles" said
the doctor; you must remember that
they are young-these Ward boys-and
you must overlook their teasing you
and let the rain come"
Look out, Doctor! Don't break that
water bottle!" exclaimed Charles, as
the buggy struck a stump.
But the doctor was not going to
ease off in any such a way as that.
and he went on to persuade Charles to
forgive the Wards and hang up the
next snake; and Charles promised to
not only hang up the first one, but to
look out for one.
Look out, Charles, confound the
snakes, look where you are drivingl'
exclaimed the Doctor, as the buggy
ran over a stump about knee Highland
came blasted near spilling the Doctor
out.
Never mind, D-ctor, I don't care.
I have gotten over the teasing and am
looking'.for q snake" said Charles, as
the buggy struck root after root and
rock after rock.
'Confou6d it, Charles are you mad9
Let the snake alone and drive in the
road" said the Doctor, about which
time White lit out" of the buggy to
kill q snake and left the Doctor TO stop
the horses.
The snake is up. Look out for rain.

North Carolina State Fair, Raleigh,
October 1924, 1896.

RALEIGH, August 81, 1896.
To North Carolina Manufacturers:
GENTLEMEN:-The great object of the
State Fair is to exhibit as far as posi-
BILE the resources and industries of the
State. North Carolina has made more
rapid progress in manufacturing en-
terprises during the last twenty years
than any other State in the Union; but
with the exception of the State Expo
sitiOn in 1884 our manufacturers have
taken little interest in showing their
goods at State Fairs
The managers for the present year
will make special efforts to secure, if
possible, a small exhibit-at least, some
small article from every manufactur-
ing establishment in the State. These
articles will all be properly labelled
and arranged in a division in the main
building, to be known as an Index to
North Carolina Industries" 1t mat
ters not how small the article, all will
receive the same attention. OF course
some exhibitors may wish to have a
display of their own; so much the bet
ter if they dove have ample room
for all.
There is not a manufacturing estab-
lishment in the State that cannot send
something.
Cotton Mills a send a bolt or half
bolt of Plaids, bunch of Yarns or
Irvine.
Wooden Mills can send a few yards of
the products of their Looms.
Canning Establishments, samples of
their Fruits and Vegetables.
WoOdsUorkers, samples of their skill
in some form.
Tanners can send samples of their
Leather and Dressed Skins.
Saddlers and Harness Makers can
send a Saddle, a Bride or a Set of Har.
ness.
MIllers can send a barrel of North
Carolina Flour, Corn Meal. etc.
Carriage, Buggy and Wagon Makers
can all send Vehicles or other useful
articles to add to this interesting ex-
hibit.
~ ALL are invited to send some
thing.
Exhibitors may send their own show
cards, where they have them. Others
will be furnished by the Society.
The services of an expert will be Sc,
secured, who will arrange these OK.
hibits in the most attractive style. We
believe it will make of the most in
teresting exhibits every shown at any
State Fair.
1t is hoped that every manufactur-
ing establishment in the State will send
something, be it yer so small. Every
article will be we'll cared for and re-
turned at the close of the Fair, unless
otherwise directed.
Let the exhibit be truly an "Index
to North Carolina Industries"
SEPARATE EXHIBITS.
The foregoing plan is not intended to
supersede the Separate Exhibits ex-
pected from some of the largest estab-
lishments in the State. We want just
as many of these individual exhibits
az possible, but when this cannot be
done, contributions to the general dis
play can be made.

S WIRE TIES.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
AYDEN N. @.
A farmer myself, and sympathizing
with my fellow-man, I suggest the fol
lowing plan to break the Cotton Bag
ging TIE Trust, viz The farmers to
buy Nos. 5 or 6 annealed wire to bind
their cotton with, fixing the end into
a loop, securing it as the ties on baled
hay. The numbers of wire I mention
are strong enough for the purpose and
the method could be at once adopted.
Your plan of n dollar subscription
for a baling tie factory is good and
should be carried into effect, especially
for the future good of the farmers.
If you think my suggest n feasible,
please let it be known through the
columns of your valuable paper.
Yours respectfully,
E G.. Cox

tin county, last week, so the report
reaches here, had a quarrel with n
Dawes in Williamson, about some
words not understood. After a istic
encounter and separation, Mr.. Teel
went for his pistol and returned. When
he found Dawes he shot him in the
face, the ball breaking the jaw bone.
Mr.. Dawes injury is said to be serious,
says the Tarboro Southerner.
Four or five of our colored people
went serenading last Thursday night.
They claimed to have been as far as
Elon College. About the time they
we're returning through Burlington a
small store down this way was broken
into. Their nearness to the scene
about the time of the breaking got
them into trouble and three of them
were up before Justice J.. r Ireland
and were bound over to court, says the
Alamance Cleaner.

street, where she was stopping. Her
father was with her, and soon after the
death of his daughter he himself was

the same night. Mr.. Beals was a very

sad one.
