CHAMBERS NOW IN JAIL.
The Fiimhammer Not Able to Give
Bond For Ills Appearance.

William Chambers, alias Walthrop,
the confidence man, is now in jail here,
charged with the larceny of $40.
The slick manner in which he procured
the money has already been told in
these columns. Now news comes that
he has done" people in several other
places. Chief of Police Norwood re-
ceived kilograms yesterday from Rich
mond and Petersburg, asking for infor-
nation concerning Chambers. He is
wanted in both of the cities named for
working the same game as in Raleigh.
Chambers is now thought to be q nation
al crook.
When arraigned for trial yesterday
morning Chambers, through his attor-
ney, Mr. C. NJ Busbee, waived exami-
nation and asked that the bond be made
as light as possible. The offence was a
very grave one, the mayor said, and he
would have to exact a justified bond Of
$3.50 for his appearance at the January
term of court.
Being unable to give this bond
Chambers was taken to jail The wo-
man claiming to be his wife is still here
and visited him in jail yesterday after
noon 1t is understood that she is try
ing to get the money to put up as bond
for Chambers, so that he may be re-
leased.
Chambers is Il tall, slender man, rath-
er delicate looking. His blue eyes are as
tender and shifting as a girls. His
hands are delicate, with long slender
fingers. but he combs his lark hair down
over his forehead in villainous sort of
way. He is continually !twisting his
slight brown mustache. Evidently he
has lived well.
When he came into court he had ON
his arm light overcoat. and in his
hand a black Alpine hat. His brown
coat and dark striped trousers were Of
good material and fashionable pattern.
His tan shoes were carefully polished.
Where is your home?' the mayor
asked, as he made out the commitment
to Jail.
II was born in Rochester, n. \" the
fellow replied, ''but I've spent most Of
my time in New York city
Where have YOU been?'
ITO Dallas, Texas, and I'm now on
my way home"
Evidently he was ignorant of the fact
that the mayor knew he had come down
through virginia. doing the towns he
struck with beautiful regularity
1t is generally believed here that
Chambers is Il noted crook and that his
wife will get the money, give his bond,
and they will leave this part Of the
country for good.

II WILL BE A GREAT FAIR.
President Cunningham Writes Concern
ing the Fine Prospects.

To the Editor: The Fair is upon us
and from those who are constantly
travelling, and through letters, | am re.
ceiving from the mountains to the sea,
| am informed that there will be a great
crowd i'll Raleigh during Fair week.
Let all of the people of Raleigh and of
the State work for the Fair, and we
wilIhave over 100000 people during the
week to see the great exhibits.
AT the last Executive committee of
the Fair, there was great interest mani
tested.
At that meeting were some of the
most enterprising and successful men in
the State. Merchants, farmers, editors,
lawyers, mechanics, manufacturers, in
surance men, hotelists, ministers. teach
ers, printers. Nearly 30 were there. 1t
was unanimously decided to elect a
treasurer, and the treasurer was re-
quired to give bond and security, in the
sum of $4,000, which has been done.
Capt. G. b. benson was elected trea-
surer, and all money must be paid by the
treasurer, on orders approved and sign
ed by the president and the secretary of
the Society.
The Agricultural Society is determined
to conduct the business upon business
principles. and to manage the affairs Of
the Society as other institutions are
managed and by so doing, it will have
the support and help from all the peo-
pie OF the State.
IL there are any who, in the past have
not entertained good feeling for the
Agricultural Society. as president of
the Society, | would respectfully request
that they will forgive us and come and
aid us in building up the agricultural in
terests of the State. North Carolina is
an agricultural State, and when the
farmers prosper all branches Of bust
ness feel it.
The newspapers of the State are
doing a splendid work for the Fair.
The press of North Carolina and Of the
United States have contributed largely
towards the development Of every
branch of business, and they educate
our people and inform them upon all
topics, and communicate a vast store Of
information, thereby giving the people
before enjoyed in the history Of the
world.
Mr.. Editor, we shall have a splendid
eADlD1t anu u DiS GIONu Ut Tux. loIHtc
Fair, and every patriotic citizen Of the
State will help to make it success.
Mr.. John Nichols. the secretary, is
pushing the work by day and by night.
He has experience in collecting the ex-
hibits, and with his usual push and en-
ergy, he is putting forth extra efforts
to make this Fair a grand success.
1t is his purpose to astonish every
body in all lines connected with the
Fair.
How fortunate we were to have Mr..
John G. Drewry accept as chief marshal.
He is a favorite among the ladies, and
admired among the men for his sterling
qualities. He is a success in his bust
ness, and the State Fair feels honored
that they have n man so worthy in
every way to wear this honor.

THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
yirginians Think Fusion Rule Here
is Ended.

Speaking of the dullness of politics
throughout the country, owing to the
fact that this is an off-year, the Rich
mond Dispatch finds two exceptions to
the rule. In North Carolina and New
York it finds the people wrought up to
fever heat.
The contest in North Carolina reminds
it very much, it says, of that mighty
effort the Democrats of Virginia made
in 1888 to throw off the yoke of Malone;
that campaign when Mr.. Barbour ac-
cepted the Craftsmanship of our party,
and which was followed by Fitz Lees
becoming Governor and Daniels and
Barbour's going to the United States
Senate. The North Carolinians are en-
gagged in another such struggle. They
are trying to overthrow the ''fusionists,"
and are hoping TO regain power for the
Democrats. We see so much of earnest
ness, ability and determination in their
campaign we cannot but believe the days
OF the fusionists are numbered. The
North Carolina press is doing glorious
work We don't believe the enemy can
stand before the batteries they have
opened upon them, to say nothing of the
splendid stump-speaking to which the
voters of the Old North State are being
treated.

In Memoriam,

On the afternoon Of June End, 1898, en-
tirely unexpected to his family and friends,
and as far as known to US, without one
minute Of Immediate warning to himself, Mr.,
Dathan Broome was stricken in death and
his soul had taken its departure from this
world OF sorrow.
How far, indeed, was it from the thoughts
Of his beloved wife and his fondly cherished
daughter that as he went out from them about
2o'clock in his usual health, speaking words of
cheerfulness and pleasantly, that in an hours
time his body would be laid before them cold
in death. But so it was.
We would not open afresh with our pen
the wounds made in that sad hour, but will
simply add that while it was natural that the
blow was heaviest on his bereaved family,
yet II was felt by the entire community, 1t
was felt by the members of the church, with
many OF whom he had Joined so frequently in
prayer and praise TO God, but by none OF
the latter was this sad loss more keenly felt
than it was by the writer, who had for over
four years as his pastor tried to minister to
him in spiritual things
Dathan Broome was a loving husband,
fond parent, kind neighbor, law abiding
citizen, and he was-but we will stop nam
ing, and put them all under this heading

heart TO his Savior, and nearly thirty nine
years ago, when about nineteen, he entered
the visible church through the door of bap-
tism, Rev s, r. White administrator.
For many years he was the teacher of the
Bible class in Germantown Baptist Church,
and he had recently, at the request Of pastor
and Others around him, taken similar class
at Germantowa Station, and also superln.
tended the school.
The last Sabbath he spent on earth he
walked to his church In the morning, 1--we
miles, and taught his class and in the after
noon performed his duties at the branch
school.
His remains were taken 10 the Germantown
Baptist Church on the 4th at p. NJ, fol-
lowed by many Borrowing friends. His pas
tor conducted the funeral service, speaking
briefly from the text, "Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord, i" etc. Rev. 1918.
DR.. J. L. Lodge and Rev. S. R. White
former pastors of the deceased, were present
and made feeling addresses. All that was
mortal of Brother Dathan Broome was then
laid in the grave near the church under the
shade Of large tree-a place that he had
pointed TO when living.
