SETTLING UP ACCOUNTS
Arranging Of Premiums and Making Out
Checks to Begin Tomorrow.

The Fair is over. Yesterday was
spent by the exhibitors in removing
their goods from the grounds. The
Midway departed en- masse yesterday
morning by the S:45 Southern train,
bound for the Winston-Salem Fair,
which is to begin in few days. Cap
tain benson directed the removal of
the exhibits, and so far no complaint
has been received of loss or damage.
The receipts will be counted up to-
morrow. The pay roll of the entire
force on the grounds will be made out
then also, and the work of arranging
premiums and making out checks for
the $4,000 in cash prizes will begin.
1t will be a month or more before
the accounts are audited and tabu-
lated, and the railroads settled with.
All of the exhibitors were well pleas
ed with the treatment they received
and with the management in general.

CONFEDERATE RELICS.
A State Museum to be Established For Their
Preservation i. aa.

Sometime ago the L. OBJ Branch camp
of Confederate veterans, in this city,
started a movement looking to the col
lection and preservation of Confederate
pictures flags and other relics of the
war. To this end they secured from the
State Board of Agriculture permission to
use for the purpose a room in the new
museum annex.
The idea was taken up and adopted by
the State Association of Confederate Vet
Grams and the room thus dedicated will
be used for relics and other historical
contributions from all ConfederateS OF
the State. To complete and carry out
this plan the following committee has
been announced: Thomas S. Kenan, chair
man; Walter Clark, R. H. Battle, A. B.
Stronach and C. B. benson.
1t is desired to preserve not only the
relics of the Civil War. but of all the
wars in which North Carolina has en-
gagged. Colonial relics are also wanted.
This room will not be used for the
meeting hall of the camp, but simply
for the exhibition Of these relics. The
museum already has on hand enough
specimens for the nucleus of such an ex-
hibit, and the camp and each of the
ladies' associations, have many more.
Also, there are many relics scattered
through the State, whose owners would
be glad to donate or lend them to any
organization that has any suitable way
to preserve and exhibit them.

IN NEED OF TEACHERS
Not Enough For the Public
Schools of Wake.
Superintendent Clements Wishes TO Hear From
Good Teachers Desiring to Teach
Public Schools,

The teachers profession is not over
crowded in Wake county.
That is what Superintendent Glenn
ents says. He told News and OBJ
server reporter yesterday that there
were not enough teachers in the
county to teach the schools, and that
he would be glad to hear from good
teachers. He was just back from at
tending the Educational and Indus
trial meeting at Jacksonville.
We had most excellent time" he
said, and North Carolina was well rep
resented and took a CONSPICUOUS part
in all the proceedings; and from the
reports l think we are about as well
off educationally and otherwise as
any of the oluler southern States
And you may say" he added, as
he climbed aboard the train, that |
would be glad to hear from any good
teachers who desires position. We
have several schools, some paying as
much as $4,000, for which we cannot
get teacher. l would be glad to
hear from any who desires to teach. .
1t is very likely that this is the
only county in the State in which
such conditions exist, and it is prob
able that Mr.. Clements will be delug-
ed with applications from teachers in
other counties.
Mr. Clements was referring, of
course, to the public schools outside of
the city Last week six assistant
teachers were added to the force in
the city schools.
The educational affairs of this coun-
ty are in a splendid condition. The
last report of the county superinten-
dent shows that abouu $4,000 of last
years school fund remained uneN-
pended at the close of the school year
and will be applied to this years fund.
1t must be remembered also, that
this is the case after an average term
of four months had been taught in
the schools. A number of school
houses were built last year
The school census shows that there
are about $1,000 children of school age
in this county, and the per cent. of IL
literates among the whites is almost
nothing, being less than one-fourth of
one per cent. Wake county has the
largest roll of children of school age
of any county in the State, and very
probably the smallest per cent. OF
white illiterateS.

Board of Agriculture Bulletin.

The Bulletin of the North Carolina
State Board of Agriculture for October
has just been issued by Secretary T. X.
Bruner. 1t contains the game laws of
the different counties, and the full text
of the Lacey act. There are also inter-
esting articles on the question of the
ownership of game by the farmer, and as
to whether or not it has a value. No
crop report was made in September but
the October averages are given. There
are some very pertinent questions and
answers on the subject of farm labor.
Altogether, the Bulletin is very val
liable pamphlet, and should be in the
hands of every farmer and every one in
tending to do any hunting in the State

The Chicago American says the Demo
cratic pool in Illinois shows Democratic
gains in every one of the 101 counties
outside of Cook county except one. The
country districts" are expected to give
Bryan majority of from $4,000 to 10000,
and Chicago is expected to give him
big majority. The Republicans claim
that Mckinley will come to Cook county
with $4,000 majority, and that they will
carry Cook county.
staff correspondent of the Washing
ton Star says that the political apathy
in Ohio is remarkable. Democrats claim
that this means a Democratic victory.
The Star man. who thinks Ohio will go
for Mckinley says:
ut is thought that their calculations
are founded largely upon the supposed
stdength of the anti-imperialist faction,
headed by Gen. John Beatty, of Columbus,
distinguished Republican. Ben. Beat
tvs following has already been taken
into account by the Republican mana
gers and allowance made for it. Bryan
may carry Columbus. he may carry Tole-
1896, but that won't pull him through.
Columbus and Toledo are the strong
holds of the Beatty men. 1t is almost
certain, however, that McKinley's plural
ity of four years ago will be cut down
this year. The disaffected in the Repub-
lican ranks on account of the Philippine
policy of the administration will reduce
it some; the lack of interest in politics
will reduce it. 1t would be violent sup
position to say that it will be wiped out.
There is nothing in the situation in Ohio
to warrant such a supposition.
'In Cincinnati the labor vote is being
thoroughly organized for Bryan. He is
also strong among the Germans, and will
cut down the Mckinley plurality in this
city and county, but the Republicans are
confident of carrying the city and county.
One hears a great deal of talk out here
about the silent vote The politicians
are somewhat nonplussed in their polls
because of the close mouthed attitude of
a large proportion of voters whom they
cannot locate in the proper column this
year. There will undoubtedly be some
surprises on this score. 1t is believed
however, that there is some connection
between the silent vote and the notable
falling off in registration for the first
two days of registration. That is to say,
that some of the silent vote will be ST.
lent, indeed. on election day, and will
stay at home In Cincinnati the falling
off in registration occurred in both Dem
ocratic and Republican wards

AUTOMOBILES LONG Run.
French Machine Gives Successful Ex.
hibition in London.

London, Nov. 26.-rThe thousand mile
motor trial at the Crystal Palace the
past week has attracted the attention of
English automobilists. 1t came about
through a discussion of the merits of
the Decastlle car, which was challenged
by Moffat Ford. the managing director
Of the automobile company.
The French company undertook to
run two cars, one OF five horsepower and
the other Of eight, a thousand miles
without stopping. The French drivers,
mufied in thick furs, took turns every
two hours Hot bricks were tossed into
the cars to keep the drivers warm, for
it was bitterly cold under the glass roof
Of the palace
The eight horsepower car started off
at a twenty-eight mile clip. The smaller
one made a twenty-four mile pace. The
larger car had to stop after having made
312 miles, as the carburetter froze- The
time was thirteen hours, thirty-six min
uteS and nine seconds.
The five horsepower car completed
its one thousandth mile yesterday morn
ing, the time run being forty-eight hours
four minutes and four seconds. It did
not make q stop throughout the run.
