FAIR POINTERS.

approximations in connection with our
big Tobacco Fair, to be held Novem-
Der 81, 4th, and 9TH, and among
! them are the following:
l. That an entrance fee will be
I charged to exhibitors of leaf tobacco.
| This is an error. No charge what
ever will be made to exhibitors OF
leaf tobacco.
2. That exhibitors of leaf will for
felt the specimens they place on
exhibition and that these will be sold
for the benefit of the Fair Associa-
ton
| This is another error. The speci-
mems of leaf tobacco on exhibition
will be sold, but the proceeds of the
sale will go to the owners, without
any deduction, save the usual charges
for selling.
The fact is, everything connected
with the big Fair will be as free as
possible.
1t is Winston's set up and she
wants everybody to come and par
| take of it.
As stated, there will be no charge
to exhibitors of tobacco.
| There will be no admission charge
to any of the exhibition halls.
There will be no charge to the
Concert, which will be given under
the direction of Prof. J. J. Blair.
There will be no charge to the
Variety Show, which is being looked
after by DR.. J. A. Blum.
| And, OF course. there will be no
charge for witnessing the great street
| parades during the Fair.
| In addition to all this. the rail-
roads have given reduced rates for
the occasion and board may be
secured at reasonable prices at our
hotels and boarding houses.
1t has been a long time since an
other such opportunity for seeing SO
much for so little has been presented
by any North Carolina town.
Another thing about it is that all
who come will receive a royal well
I come. We not only invite you to be
present, but we are anxious that you
accept the invitation.
We want at least twenty thousand
| people to visit US and see the attrac-
tions that will be presented.
We will have something worth see
ing to show and hence our desire that
| thousands will come and see it. And
then, too, we want these thousands
to see the progress the Twin City has
made in material things and those
who are interested along this line to
note our resources and advantages
as a home place and as a business
centre, particularly for the establish
ing of diversified industries.
We want at least one representa-
tive of each tobacco manufacturing
establishment in the country to come
and see the quality and variety of
tobacco that our soil produces-to-
bacco with which they may have
some familiarity, but which is known
to them by some other name than
| North Carolina tobacco. We want
them to see that this, the best leaf
market in the State, is headquarters
for these products.
| We want our friends from the
country, for miles and miles around,
to come. Many of them have visited
US IN business way through the
| years, but we want them to be here
| on the Sd, 4th, and 9Th of November
and see us on dress parade, in our
Sunday clothes, so to speak.
In short, our gates will stand wide
open to all who will come, and upon
the very threshold they will be
greeted with welcome and a wish
that their sojurn will be pleasant.
REFERRING to the appointment of
colored postmasters in the South by
Mckinley, the Scotland Neck Com
monwealth, published in Halifax
county-a county which has four or
i've negro postmasters-makes these
pertinent remarks: at is a means
to an end, though perhaps neither
was contemplated by those who have
thrust this state of affairs upon us.
1t Is the means of settling the ques-
ton with the white race again as it
was settled some thirty years ago
for awhile, whether the Anglo. Saxon
shall maintain control or an incom-
petent people with a newborn power,
falsely called citizenship, shall take
the ascendancy. And it will right
soon wake to life the slumbering
senses and set Alright many who have
wandered from the tried and safe
and wel-beatep paths of Democ-
racy.''
THE white postmaster at Tarboro.

negro woman appointed in his place.
