A. Smith VIII be Exhibitors-There

Hon. F. M. Simmons, United States
senator-elect, will formally open the
great New Bern fair next Tuesday
morning with a speech. the first to be
made since the people designated him
as their choice for that high office. Mr..

1t S fit that he should at this time, par
tcularly, be with the great fair which
represent the agricultural and indus
trial life of his native section.
AS for the fair itself. much in few
words, is to be said. 1t will live up to
It's past record as one Of the best held
in North Carolina, and the manage
ment states in all sincerity that it will
be the best ever given in the Tar Heel
state. Among the more prominent ex-
hibitors are Mr.. w. A. Smith, OF New
York, who Will show two carloads OF
fine poultry ard pet stock. This same
show has won first prizes in New York,
Philadelphia and Atlanta, and Mr..
George Vanderbilt. whose Biltmore
poultry farm sends one carload OF
poultry. This poultry department Will
make the best show of the kind ever
seen in the state. The list of attrac-
tions includes everything from a Ferris
wheel, over one hundred feet high, to
whole menagerie Of trained lions
Iepards, tigers, elephants and other
wild animals too numerous to men
ton.
On Wednesday an excursion train
will be run over the Atlantic Coast Lin.

Correspondence of the MeSSenger)
Wilson, N. c., November 9.
The election and campaign talk has
entirely ceased here. There has never
been but very little enthusiasm shown
over the outcome. The friends of Mr.
Simmons got up a novel celebration,
but it amounted to very little. A large
persimmon tree loaded with fruit was
planted in the court house square. At
night this tree was covered with jap
anese lanterns. Among the branches
were perched several large opossums
The novelty drew a crowd, but interest
soon died out. The outcome has been
accepted without discussion
For the past two days the ladies of
the Methodist church have been hold, :,
ing a flower and baby show for the
benefit of the new church building
quite a neat sum was realized. The
baby show drew a large crowd.
The Wilson boys have gotten their
foot ball forces in shape and expect to
have an interesting programme for
Wilmington on THANKSGIVING. The
men who compose the team came from
the young crowd, very few of the old
players will appear on the team.

The can7ibai Tree.

, Ms. Ellis Rowan, Of Melbourne.
Australia, who : at present in New
York and who has Travelled more en-
tersively in the cannibAl country THAI
any other European woman, has told
recently Of the existence in Australia
Of forest tree which : perhaps one
otthe mos, wonderful. plants @; nature.
I, WI. hold in its center and devoov
the BODY Of d man as readily as our
insecayovous Wild flowers tap the IN
sects On which they partly sabs's'.
The tree i called the Gambia! tree.
As Ms. Rowan describes it, Us ap-
rearance may be imagined to resemble
a mammoth pineapple, which often
reaches to the hight Of II feet Is
foliage is composed q a series cl broad,
boari-like leaves, growing IN fringe
q, its apex. Instead, however, OF
standing erect, as does the little green
taf, a, the top Of a pineapple, these
leaves drop over and hang to the
ground. In the largest specimens
they are often from j. 10 % feet long
and strong enough 10 bear the weight
Of nan. Hidden under these cuH'
Gus leaves is to be found peculiar
growth Of spear-hke formation, ar
ranged in a circle, and which perform
the same function for the plant as DO
p;s,ils for flowers They cannot, how
ever, abide to be touched.
Among the natives Of Australia
there is a tradition tha, III the old
davs Of the autipoiean Wild, this tree
was worsbipe3 under the name Of the
Devils tree. Is wrath was though;
to be greatly dreaded. As soon as
its huge green leaves began TO rise
restlessly up aud down It's woFshipers
interpreted tie sign as meaning that
sacrifice must be made to apPease ITS
anger One among their number was,
therefore, chosen, stripped Of h's raj
ment and driven by shouting crowds
up one Of It's leaves to the apex. All
went well with the victim until the
instant that be stepped into the cen
ter of the plant aud on the so-called
ristils when the boari-lke leaves
would ay together and clutch and
slueeze out the life OF the intruder
Bv early travellers in Australia 1t Is
affirmed that the tree would then hold
Its prev until every particle OF h's
flesh had fallen from his bones, after
which the leaves would relax their
hold and the gaunt skeleton fall heed
lessly to the ground. In this way did
its worshipers seek to avert disaster
and TO still the demon spirit among
them.
The trees preseu; name and Its un-
canny actions .eainA Us that the can
nibals Of Northern Australia have
also a playful way Of scattering about
the bones OF victim after one OF
their fsasts.
