END OF THE COLORED FAIR.
Secretary Leak Gives Causes for Its
Success This Year.

The Colored Fair is at an end. II
closed yesterday evening.
1t was success in every respect-a
greater success than it has been on any
previous year.
For this we have several people to
thank" said Secretary Leak last night
"First, there's the News and Observer
that prominently advertised it before 1t
was held-telling the people what we
were doing and going to have at the
Fair. Then for it's splendid report of
the Fair while it was being held. The
other city papers were also kind ana
liberal to us and / want to thank you
all most heartily on behalf or the fair
officers.
Another element Of our success mas
been the recognition given us by the
State officers and the white people IN
general. We were glad to have them
come out and see what our race is try
ing to do for itself in the world.
'Then there was the Charlotte Llght
Infantry and the Greensboro Band. Ihey
are two very fine organizations, com
posed of men of character. Their pres
ence among us has helped and encour'
q ped us as a people, and has made the
Fair q brilliant success anu eAceeulhSl!
enjoyable to all who attended.
"The Fair authorities desire especially
to thank the men of these two organi'
cations.
Nor can omit the cOlored women in
North Carolina, in giving the causes that
made this Fair a success. Without them
there could have been no Fair; with them
we had the best We have ever had. Inc
exhibits were almost entirely their
work. They speak for themselves and
place credit where it is due. OF course
our thanks and gratitude go out to the
women"
Encouraged by the Fairs success TINS
wear. the officers are already beginning
TO form their plans for next year, ana
are determined to then have one of the
largest and most elaborate exhibits ever
made by the negro race in any State IN
the South.

CAN BREAK KISSING RECORD.
Will Ellwanger Bets 5000 He Can Kiss
200 Consecutive Times.

There was a kissing contest held In
New York city last week-a serious
kissing contest.
! 1t was between the famous actress
Anna Held-and julius Steger, one OF
the handsomest men in New York. And
Anna Held-and julius Steger, who
once came here with Marie Tempest
soon after the Academy of Music was
opened. The contest was to decide a
wager between Steger, who bet he
could kiss Mile. Held on the lips 1000
consecutive times, and Mr.. Ziegfel1
Anna Held's manager, who bet Steger
couldn't give her 200 kisses.
When the contest came off the woman
gave out first and Steger stopped al
1856 kisses.
The contest has caused much com
ment.
Will T. Ellwanger, the handsome
young baritone of the Wilbur Opera
Company, who was here two weeks ago
says that the task Of planting 200 kisses
upon the lips of pretty woman or q
handsome man is an easy one.
l. To prove his assertion and to establish
the fact that he is a kisser of no small
degree, Mr.. Ellwanger has issued chal
lenge, through the Atlanta Journal.
Mr.. Ellwanger says that any man
with a proper knowledge OF the art OF
kissing could impress 200 times his lips
to those of any pretty woman without
causing her any fatigue. 1t must bt
done by an expert, he claims, who moi
only has mastered the art of kissing
but must be done by person who APP
precates the situation.

200 kisses like a blacksmith would a
horseshoe will exhaust the strength OF
any woman with nerves, says Mr.. Ell
wanger, before that number has been
reached.
"Now," says Mr.. Ellwanger, ''my
proposition is this / will kiss any lady
who is recognized in good society 20C
times or pay to her one dollar for every
kiss agreed to. The attempt to be made
in the parlors of the Kimball House OF

would suggest that the city editor of the
Journal. the dramatic editor of the Con

by the lady act asN committee of ar

counters.
"TheSe gentlemen are to select two
physicians to be in attendance as medi
cal advisors. There is to be no unnec
essary caressing and the contest j:
simply to be one of artistic kissing"
Should any lady accept this proposition
she will have the satisfaction of being
the most thoroughly kissed person il
America if Mr.. Ellwanger wins. Should
he fail she will have the greater salts

1T WAS THE FINEST CROP.
A Lot Of Tobacco Grown in Harnett
County Sold at 60 Cents a Pound.

Yesterday a reporter of this paper
was shown by Mr.. w. B. johnson. OF
the firm of Williamson & johnson, man
ayers of the Planters warehouse, u
sample Of a lot Of tobacco sold on their
floor at 60 cents a pound. 1t was grown
by B. F. Stewart, of Barclayville, Har-
nett county, who is one of the few far
mers of that county engaged in
the culture Of the golden weed.
Mr.. Johnson, who is familiar with the
land ON which Mr.. Stewards tobacco was
grown, said yesterday: 81 have never
seen a finer quality Of tobacco any
where, and the land in that section is
admirably adapted to the growth of the
high price leaf. / have not seen better
land anywhere, and it is surprising that
all the farmers of that section do not
cultivate this high-priced tobacco"
Mr.. Paul II. Lee, said: 81 have never
seen any better tobacco. The farmers of
that section Of Harnett can make big
money by growing it"

under authority of any rule or custom
