session of the senate with speech in
advocacy Of the theory taat there are
no restrictions upon the right of the
United States to expand its borders so
as to include far distant territory. He
went quite thoroughly into the legal
points bearing upon the question, and
also incidentally discussed at some
length the form Of government for the
Philippines, saying that he would en-
courage self-government among the
islands and would give them the most
liberal government which they were
capable Of managing, bat that he

The State Fair of 1893 promises to ex-
Gel even the usually successful Fairs IF
last year and the years previous there
to. Many improvements are being made

South. Transportation facilities will be
adequate to every demand. The Soush-

regular train will be run every fifteen
minutes between Union Depot in the city

Cars will be run from the city to the
grounds on fve-minutes schedule.

riages will have the pleasure Of driving
over the finest macdamized road in North
Carolina.
To exhibitors we would say that the
Fair authorities will treat them hospi
tably and fairly.

ATTRACTIONS.
A special object this year has been
to secure and exhibit the products of the
State on a larger scale than ever be-
| fore attempted, and to make the eXhibit
great object-lesson for the people. No
effort has been spared To- make this
| feature more noteworthy and successful
| than it has ever heretofore been. The
played in competition for prizes rs wei
as otherwise. Such competition broadens
/ the market for the producer, gives an i'm
petus to trade through the simple eXhibi
ton of trades possibilities, and tends t
the growth in excellence of everything
| involed in the contest.
PRIVATE SALES.
Exhibitors will be permitted to mari

RAILROAD RATES, ETC.
The railroads have named the very low
est rates possible, and we are sure that
they are so reasonable that no one
can object.
Full freight rates will be charged on
all exhibits from shipping point to Raj
eigh. Exhibits will be returned to ship
ping point free of charge when accom-
panied by a certificate from the Secretary
to the effect that they were properly en-
tered and exhibited at the Fair. This
provision does not apply to racing stock.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Various improvements has been made
in buildings, stables, stalls, pens, etc.
for the convenience of exhibitors and
stock.
RACES.
The large and increasing interest in
the development of thoroughbred harness
and trotting horses in the State now i'm
sures the possibility of having a large
field of fine and speedy horses on the
race circuit this year, and the society
has sought to eclipse all former efforts
in this department.. The race-track is the
finest in the South.
SPECIAL.
At a melting of the executive commit
tee of the North Carolina Agricultural
Society, held in the city of Raleigh, July
10, 1898, the following resolutions were
adopted, and the Secretary was directed
to have the same published for 1898, ana
to give them special prominence:
| 1. The executive committee has author
| lied the letting Of only such privileges as
| are required to satisfy the necessary
wants of the people, or that may add to

but under no circumstances will privilege

A Fifty Cent Piece

Will sometimes make considerable difference
in the makeup of a gentleman's suit. 1t is that
fifty cent piece that we are always looking after,
the other part of the cost will take care of itself.
It is the extra fifty cents worth of finish, OF
style, of nng of shape, of fit, or other essential
and this is the principle reason why we do not
have to open up great big lot of last season
suits. We push our suits from the very begin
ming of the season by naming prices that will
move them.

tomac, and when the stores of forage
which were yet to be found we're all
destroyed or removed, the difficulty
of any new offensive operations on
either side would be greatly increased.
The key to the Shenandoah Valley
was, in Sheridan's judgment, the line
of the Opequan Creek, which was
rather deep canon than an ordinary
water course. Sheridan's idea l un-
derstood to be to fall back to the
proper defensive point upon that
creek, and there to construct fortifica-
tons which would effectually cover
the approach to the Potomac.

BROTHER HARVEY.

The leading Baptist paper in Ken
lucky and the South is published by
an Irishman, who is proud of his
country--Dr. William P. Harvey. He
is the mainstay of the Western Re-
corder, and does not claim to be a
Scotch-Irishman or an Orangeman,
either. DR.. Harvey believes that
baptism is immersion, but he does not
belong to that class called in Ireland
ranters, who want to hang everybody
because they do not believe as they
do. The Baptists are very strong in
Louisville and Kentucky-stronger
than any other denomination, and
it is only because men like DR.. Har-
vey are to the fore. Two or three
other alleged doctors of this denomi-
nation have been doing the cause
much harm in Louisville, meddling
with politics.

been placed with a union office the
State would have been saved great
inconvenience and considerable ex-
pense. When a church society or in
dividual wants a few cards printed,
for instance, they 60 to the nearest
Office, not considering how the work
will be done. AS a rule the union
Offices charge less for frst-class work

PATRONIZE SKILLED LABOR.

There is no trade probably where
more fraud is committed on the pub
lie than in printing. Unfair or non
union offices impose on their patrons
inferior paper, ink and composition,
and the imposition is not discovered
until the test of time has brought out
the defects. There are now in Louis
vile a number of printing Offices
employing boys at small wages and
unskilled men at still lower pay who
get out inferior work, and yet mer-
chants patronize them.
Merchants who want first class
goods go to reliable houses, particu-
larly in the grocery and dry goods
line, but many of these same mer-
chants never think of this when they
want printing. A peculiarly about
the printing trade is that none but
skilled men are allowed in the union.
In order to be member thereof a
man must have served a regular APP
premiership and shown his ability to
do work well. A union office when
rushed may occasionally turn out
poor job, but it is the exception and
not the rule.
We call attention to this because
the general public has been paying no
attention to the matter, notably the
State printing, the contract for which
with one of these non-union Offices
had to be revoked and readvertised
because of non-fulfllment Of agree

AMERICAN IRISH PATRIOTS.

In our first number we said some
thing about Irishmen in the American
Revolution. 1t may not be out of
place to again refer to this subject.
The "Society of the Friendly Sons
of St. Patrick" was organized March
II, I77I. Nearly all the early men,
bers were prosperous merchants at
the time, many of them engaged in
the shipping and importing business,
and dealing in European and East
India goods, teas, wines, silks, Irish
linens, etc. Being all Irishmen, or
the sons of Irishmen, they, with mar.
tial spirit, espoused the American
cause. But one member, Thomas
Bait, took active part against Ameri.
can liberty, and on March IS, 1916,
he was unanimously expelled from
the society. Perhaps the most author
itative testimony to the correctness Of
the claim that the Irish predominated
in the Revolution is the letter Of
acceptance in the organization by
George Washington himself, written
to George Campbell, President of the
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, in the
city of Philadelphia:
"Sir-I accept with pleasure the
ensign of so worthy fraternity as
that of the Sons of St. Patrick in this
city-a society distinguished for the
firm adherence of its members to the
glorious cause in which we are en-
barked. Give me leave to assure
you, sir, that l shall never cast my
eyes upon the badge with which l am
honored but with a grateful remem-
brance of the polite and afectionate
manner in which it was presented. |
am, with respect and esteem, sir, your
most obedient servant,
GEORGE WASHINGTON"
On June II, 1880, paper was
signed by ninety-three individuals
pledging their property and credit for
the several sums opposite their names.

like it. Tell me what is the reason?"
"Mr. DANA" he said, 81 long ago
made up my mind that it was not a
good plan to fight battles with paper
orders; that is, for the commander to
stand on a hill in the rear and send
his aides-de-camp with written orders
to the different commanders. My
practice has always been to fight in the
front ranks"
"But, General" 1 said, "that is
dangerous; in the front ranks a man
is much more liable to be killed than
he is in the rear"
"Well," he said, 81 know that
there is a certain risk in it; but, In
my judgment, the advantage is much
greater than the risk, and 1 have come
to the conclusion that this is risky
thing to do. That is the reason the
men like me. They know that when
the hard pinch comes l am exposed
just as much as any of them"
"But are you never afraid" l
asked.

/ talked great deal with Sheridan
and his officers while at Cedar Creek
on the condition of the valley and
what should be done to hold it. The
active campaign seemed to be over in
that region for the year. The enemy
was so decidedly beaten and scattered,
and driven SO far to the south, that he
could hardly be expected to collect
his forces for another immediate at
tempt. Besides, the devastation of
the valley, extending, as it did, for
distance of about 100 miles, rendered
it almost impossible that either the
Confederates OF our own forces should
make new campaign in that territory.
1t looked to me as if, when Sheridan
had completed the same process down

MRS. KATHERINE SLATTERY
Succumbs to the Inflrmities of Old Age.
Had Lived in This Vicinity Many
Years and Was Beloved.

A death which has caused great
sorrow was that of Mrs. Katherine
Slattery, one of the best known and
most highly esteemed ladies in Jeffer-
sonville, who died at her home on
Chestnut street Tuesday. Although
in her eighty-irst year, Mrs. Slattery
was active and in very good health up
to few days before. Suddenly she
gave way, and her physician pro-
nounced her illness to be due 10 a
general breaking down of the system,
incident to old age.
Mrs. Slattery was born in Ireland,
but over fifty years ago came to Lou
isville with her two children, the sur
viving one being Mr.. John J. Stat
terry, President of the Todd-Donigan
Iron Company.
About thirty years ago Mrs. Stat
tery's sister, Mrs. John Burke, wife Of
one of the prominent citizens of JEFF
fersonville, died, and, with that de-
votion which characterized her entire
life, she removed to her sisters home
and cared for the five orphan children.
OF these Misses Kate, Mary and An
ma Burke survive to mourn the loss
of their beloved aunt, who was their
devoted guardian.
For many years Mrs. Slattery took
a prominent part in social and charit-
able work in Jacksonville. Her home
asthe faXorite meeting place for the
most refined and cultured people in
that city. She did not forget her
early acquaintance in Louisville, and
was almost weekly visitor here to
the home of her son.
Mrs. Slattery was woman of strong
individuality, and impressed all who
knew her with her rare good sense.
She was devout Catholic all her life
and was always prominent in the af-
fairs of St. Augustine's church, in
Jacksonville, and every member of
that congregation will regret her death
as personal loss. In fact, the entire
community, without regard to relig-
ious belief, esteemed Mrs. Slattery
and looked upon her as model
woman.
The funeral, which was one of the
largest in Jacksonville for a long
time, took place from St. Augustine's
church Thursday morning with a SOL
emn requiem mass. The remains
were inferred in St. Louis cemetery
in this city.

Let us consult only facts, and we will
keep this murderess of human rights
far from us. The work-a-day classes
