disputed right and on which his geherous
and public spirited master has lavlsned
unsparingly the just tribute that mas
come from intelligent and dlllgehC
thought and work, until it is one OF the
models of modern agriculture. Col. Carr
brings this famous bull and all these III
teresting auxiiaries to each and every
Fair. and together they form the cost
lest and handsomcst of all the Individual
displays. ~,
.orth Carolina should love Col.
Julian s. Carr for the Factory ne mas
built and for the Farm he has established
but il has reason to hold him III hlgh
esteem for a thousand other things that
he has done. that have attested not only
his greatness. but his unstinted gener-
ositv. The Occoneechee and Blackwell
exhibits were seen by every visitor to the
Fair. and without going into detail
they have been pronounced by every
body as in keeping with the hberality
and prOgressiveness of Col. Carr, the
controlling genius of these two splendid
North Carolina enterprises. A dozen or
more blue ribbons worn by the Occonec-
chez Jersey and Holsteins cattle, White
Essex and Red Jersey hogs, and his
land and water fowls are evidence OF
good and fair Judgment on the part of
the premium awarders.
Il have never been to a State Fair
when Col. Julian S. Carr was not its
leading spirit" said a gentleman yester-
day, "either as exhibitor, president, Of
ficer, or helper. When he retired from
the presidency, after having set the pace
for all Fair presidents, some folks said
that Col Carr would lose interest in
the Fair. Instead of doing so. he in
creased his exhibits and gave as earn
est assistance to his predecessors as if
he were responsible for the Fair as its
head It's this way he has of standing
up to what makes for the prosperity
and progress of the State that makes
Col. Carr the first and broadcast minded
citizen of the State now that Vance is
no more" Yesterdays Press Visitor,
speaking of Col Carr, said ''He IS
perhaps the richest man in the State of
North Carolina. He is generous as he
is rich. and he has gwen many thousands
of dollars to colleges, churches and other
objects too numPrc"e H"utlnu. His.
great business ability. his strict adher-
ence to honest principles in his transac.
tons, his record Of frugality, the conspic
uous example he has given of the COM
patiblity of great generosity with great
wealth. his Jealous interest in hte vital
interests of our State, and his high
honor and domestic virtues-these things
conspire to render him one of the finest
charac ters that North Carolina has ever
produced and one of her greatest bcne-
factors"
CARALEIGH MILLS FABRICS.
Every time a Fair is held in Raleigh
our people get more intelligent idea Of
what is going on right here in our midst
and these more intelligent ideas reveal
industrial news that is exceedingly
wholesome. Every year the fact is be-
ing more positively demonstrated that
old North Carolina if she wanted to
could live at home and board al the
same place and she would not only have
a plenty of everything good to eat, but
could dress herself in as dainty home
made fabrics as were ever spun in n
cotton mill. This years display of ging-
hams, chambras, zephyr, suitings, shirt
ings, and other cotton fabrics by the Ca
raleigh Cotton Mills taught hundreds of
people-North Carolina people-eyen
Wake county people-an interesting and
agreeable lesson-and that is that the
cotton raised in Wake county by Wake
county farmers is brought to Raleigh
and right here in its suburbs in the
Caraleigh Cotton Mills it is spun and
bleached and dyed and woven aud fin
ished into the finest ginghams that is
made in America, the smoothest ,nobbiest.
and most stylish suitings that a loom
can produce and as fine fabrics gener-
ally as are made anywhere in the land.
The Caraleigh suitings are perhaps
better known and more appreciated in
New England, III New York and per-
haps in some markets abroad than they
are in Wake county, but they arc rap d
ly gaining honor for themselves at home
as well as abroad. Mr.. +. o. Moring.
the enterprising secretary and trea surer
OF the mills is to be commended for
bringing his products where orr own
folks can see then and duly appreciate
them.
