exhibits are better and fuller than usual
and the railroad rates are very low

The Governor has been iIyit I'd 10
make the opening address, but as he
has not replied to the invitation it is
supposed that he does not intend to ac-

probably be delivered by Attorney Gem
eral Walser, who has also been invited
to speak
The Far will open at noon. The pro-
eession to the grounds will form at IL

will be races-running and trotting; also
on Thursday bicycle races.
Thursday at 2 o'clock an address will
be delivered by John c. Daney, of Will
mington.
I'VE are expecting the biggest crowd
we've ever had" said Secretary Leak
last night ''The railroad rate is low,
our people have more money than usual
and they will attend the Fair. The
exhibits are better than they were last

Views and Interviews.

Once upon a time there was a Negro
who had Mule.
One day the Mule fell sick. and tht
Negro knew not what to do. and in his
distress he went to his Master.
Mix red pepper and nux vomica, epicat
and assafoetida. turpentine and quinine
sulphur and salts together" the Master
said. PUT this in long reed, then place
one end of the reed in the Mules
mouth and the other in your mouth
then blow the mixture into the Mules
throat and he will get we'll.
Having thus prescribed, the Master
went his way Several days thereafter
as he rode by he saw the Negro bloated
and moping about his cabin.
SAM" he inquired, what in the
world is the matter?"
why, Master" replied the Negro, 'the
Mule bowed first"
The moral of this fable is in its ap-
plication.
In his inaugural address President
Hadley, of Yale college, fired some hot
shot at the class distinctions which OF
late years have made our colleges min
nature reproductions of the world. lie
declared the increase of wealth a perpe-
tual menace to old fashioned democratic
equality, and pointed out the dangers of
an institution of learning becoming
known as rich mans college, or, worse
STILL az IA college where rich and poor
were on different footings. President
Hadley announced his purpose to com
bat the growth of such sentiments in
the university of which he is the head,
and his words were cheered heartily.
But there are those who toady to the
wealth of others or who are unduly ex-
allied by their own possession of it, and
it is to be feared that the task of level
ing distinctions in college life is too
great even for man of Dr. Hadley' S
yigor. In the last quarter of century
class distinctions have grown rapidly in
this country, and to say that the poor
young man has an equal chance in the
leading universities of this country is
not true statement. He is handicap
ped at the start BY sheer force and
indomitable purpose he may conquer,
but the struggle will be fierce and the
student cast in sensitive or weak mould
will falter under it. There are many
colleges in which wealth and its display
are fawned upon and encouraged For
tunately, there are others where all are
nearly equal, and to his latter class be-
longs the educational institutions of
North Carolina. May they so continue.

OF course everybody in Raleigh knows

Of the largest stock farms in the country

Mr.. Cowper bought this property about
three years ago and has made of it a
model farm. Two good crops per year
are made on every acre under cultivation,
and only the latest and best farming and
dairy implements and machinery are
used. Besides the cows and dairy, there
are many other things of interest to be
seen at Fairview, among which are the
fine Poland-China hogs, one weighing
600 pounds at three years old; the breed

chickens, the incubators, breeders, etc.
not only did the Minorcas from Fair

THE HUMAN BODY.

Science is paying more attention to
the mechanism of the human body than
ever before. 1t has found that all
achievement, success, or failure, happi-
ness of misery, is controlled by the
body. The lesson is obvious. Improve
the body. This can only be done through
the stomach. If it is weak. it produces
poisonous refuse, and debilitates every
organ in the body. 1t may be made
strong and kept strong by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This is a natural
stomach remedy which acts quickly and

NORTH cARoL1NAs COTTON CROP

1here can no longer be any sort of

3'oo4 bales were received here.
me price of cotton now is Z to III
cents Last year at this time it was
) cents.
The difference in cotton receipts here
this year and last does not, however,
exactly represent the difference in the
size OF the crop this year and last. More
cotton IS now being sold to local mills,
direct from the farms, than ever be
fore Farmers are learning that they
can as rule, get as good, ana often
better, prices from the mills than from
the exporter or local buyer.
The other day" said Manager Aren-
dell. of the penitentiary, 81 sold 10 a
mill man 40 bales Of cotton at $3.50
more than the exporters would give us.
And this, too, when the cotton was On
the railroad at the exporters door and
the mill man had to haul it twenty-four
miles through the country"
1t is doubtful if North Carolina has
this year raised as much cotton as her
mills viii spin.

FOUND VILLAMIL'S BODY.
REMAINS OF SPANISH ADMIRAL DIS
COVERED AT SANTIAGO.
Bound to a Chair. Only the BOnsa and q
Tattered Uniform Left. HOBOrs of
War win Be Given Them By
the Americans.

A press dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba says: Yesterday Gen. Leonard
Woo d, militaIygoveIn of the depart
uent of Santiago, in the presence of the
Acknowledgements of the department,
Col. Beacon and Capt. Gilmore, Capt.
Scott, captain of the port, and other Of
ficers, positively identified the remains
of the Spanish officer discovered a few
days ago among the ROCKS on the shore
about four miles west of Ell Moro as
those of Admiral Villamil who com
handed the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyers in the naval battle which re-
suited in the destruction of Admiral
Cerveras squadron.
Accompanied by the officers named
and by others Gen. Wood went in tug
to investigate personally as to the truth
of the report that the body of a Spanish
officer had been found tied in an arm
chair, at the point designated. The re-
port proved we'll founded. Nearly ops
pOsite the point where the wrecked tor
pedo boat destroyer Pluton lies Gen.
Wood found an arm chair, with ropes
around it, skull bones on the ground
and the ragged remnants of the uniform
of captain in the Spanish navy. 1t
was evident that the buzzards had strip.
ped the bones of the human flesh.
1t is reported, though as to this there
is no certainty, that Admiral Villamil
was taken ashore from the Fulton in a
dying condition and tied in an arm chair,
and the suppositiOn is that he died i'm
mediately on reaching the shore, the
body being left abandoned among the
rocks, where it remained undiscovered
until few days ago.
Admiral Villamil, it is known, was
wounded in the right arm and the left
leg. General Wood put the bones to-
gether, showing the unmistakable marks
OF wounds in these places. The identified
ton was in every respect complete. In the
pocket of the coat was found the fleet
countersign 70. June &c, signed by the
late Captain Oviedn Bustamente, then
Admiral Cervera's chief of staff.
Colonel Beacon and Captain Gilmore
carried the arm chair, the tattered uni
form and the bones, tied together by
handkerchief of the dead officer and one
OF Colouel Beacon, to the tug, which lay
about four miles off. The Identification
caused a sensation among the Spaniards
here, as Admiral Vlllamil was one of
the best known strategists in the Span
ish navy and man held in high esteem
by his countrymeD.
General Wood, through the war de-
partment, will notify the secretary of
state OF the finding of the remains so
that they can be removed to Spain if the
Spanish government so desires. Pend
ing tEal disposition they will be kept at
the arsenal here. The battered uniform
will also be held subject TO Spain's
WISHES The arm chair is at present in

AMERICANS PAY ENGLAND TAXES,
Industries In This Country Pay England
an Income Tax

Industries in This Country Pay England
an Income Tax.
The English capitalists who came to
this country few years ago and H.
vested great deal of money in brew
cries, buying controlling interests in
them and making English institutions
OF them, are by recent deGlsiOn of the
highest court of England compelled to
pay the English income tax on the en-
tire income of the breWerIes. These
breweries are situated in different
parts Of the country, some of the larg-
est of them being in Chicago, One Of
the Chicago concerns was taken as
test case and the decision was against
it, the English courts holding the
breWeries were English institutions.
The Englshmen who bought these
brewerIes were told by American law
yers at the time they bought them
that if they organized them under
English laws they would have to pay
the income tax on the entire income
OF them, besides paying the taxes in
this country levied for city, county and
state purposes.
What they will do, of course, is to re,
organize the companies and make them
American institutions. Under the
present condition of affairs the Ameri-
can stockholders III the breweries have
to help pay the income tax of Eng.
land. The amount which Chicago Cit
liens pay is estimated to be between
$4,000 and $4,000 year. England
