FAIR At GREENSBORO
1t Will be Formally Opened
This Morning.
The Opening Address TO b. Made by Judge
Boyd. A Fine Racing Program Ar
ranged For the Week.
Especial to News and observer)


Greensboro N. c., Oct. 9.-The first an
nual Central Carolina Fair Association
was scheduled to open today, but the
weather god ordained otherwise. Yes
terday and last night the rain came in a
steady downpour and again all this fore
noon big heavy drops splashed upon the
already sodden ground, until the Fair
grounds, in common with the rest of this
portion of mother earth, looked as If 1t
had just been hung out to dry. Under
these conditions there was but one thing
to do; so the executive committee met
this morning at S:45 and decided that it
would be unwise to open today.
The formal opening will therefore oc-
cur tomorrow. The marshals and others
will form at the court house at $3.50
o'clock, and, headed by the Gate City
band, will march to the grounds, where
Judge Jas e. Boyd will make the opening
address. For the opening exercises all
the schools will close, the courts will ad-
journ and the whole city generally will
take holiday.
The prospects are for successful
Fair. The grounds are admirably loca-
ted, the buildings are erected in sub
pstantial manner and the race track is
in the country.
There arc great many exhibits on the
gronds, and today other exhibitors, taking
advantage of the postponed opening,
were busy putting new exhibits in place.
From this standpoint, certainly, the Fair
will be a success.
Many midway attractions dot the
space between the main exhibition hall
and the grand stand, and even spread
out on the other side down toward the
city There'll be no lack of amusement
to the visitor to the Fair grounds.
But the greatest attraction, and the
thing that will make this opening Fair
memorable will be the races. Track
horses began arriving on Saturday night
and have been coming ever since, until
there's as pretty a string of flyers in the
stable as one would wish TO see, waiting
for the track to dry that they may have
a test of speed and a run for the money.

Speeches at Ramseur That Promise to Bear
Much Good Fruit

Especial to News and Observer
Ramseur, N c., Oct 9.-Hon. e. w. Pou
candidate for Congress of the Fourth
district, and Mr.. B. G. Beckwith, our cleo
tor at large, were here last night and
spoke to about 200 voters and quite a
number of young ladies and young men.
Everybody was delighted with them.
Mr.. Pou discussed the issues confronting
our people, in such way as to convince
all who heard him that Democratic prin-
ciple is the basis upon which they should
cast their votes in the coming election
Mr.. B. c. Beckwith made speech
based upon history, showing that our pres
ent administration is drifting toward inn
perialism, and that the only possible way
to stop it is to defeat the National Repub-
lican ticket.

GOV. AYcocK SICK.
His Physician Forbids His Taking Part in the
Campaign

Governor-elect Aycocll has written
Chairman Simmons that he will not be
able to make any speeches in this
campaign. This conclusion he reach
ed after being advised by his physi-
clan that his health would not permit
it. He has a stubborn attack of ma
laria which requires at least month
for recovery. 1t is matter of great
regret to our distinguished Governor
elect that he cannot actively partici-
pate in this great campaign.

ity TO the story that Andree's balloon party had
been massncred by Esq in northern Can
ada. The story came to him from his nephew.
Mr. Aston, who is in charge Of the Hudson Bay
Company's post at Fort Churchill, on tho west
side OF Hudson Bay.
Aston wrote thats party Of four white men far
north were shooting deer in the summer OF LSo6,
when some Esq who were approaching
and did not see the deer, thought the whites were
shooting at them and thereupon killed two OF
the whites with arrows. The other two fled, pur-
sued by natives, and II Is not known Whether
they escaped. Different parties Of Esquinaux
brought practically the same story TO Fort Church.
i'll, and one OF the Stockby brothers. who were
hunting musk oxen, saw the bodies Of the two
white men, described their appearance and told
what they wore. The fact was accepted by the
whites OF that region as proof that the Arctic
aeronauts had met a tragicnl fate in northeast
Canada. Aston wrote to Rear Admiral Cam
pion; you will no doub, be greatly surprised
TO learn Of the loss OF the Andree expedition up
north" Campion accepted this supposition as
