ALLsPLEAsED WITH THE FAIR.


Especial to the News and Observer.)
Fayetteville. n. c., Nov. 9.-The thir-
ty-ninth annual fair of the Cumberland
County Agricultural Society closed yes
terday and the society is to be con-
graduated upon its success. The at
tendance was fully up to the average
Notwithstanding the cry of short crops
and hard times. The exhibits were un-
usually creditable. Most of the side
shows expected by the management fail
ed TO turn up and fakirs, gambling de-
vices and other Objectionable features
were practically eliminated and every
one seemed we'll pleased with this inn
provemeDt. The racing was far ahead
of former years.
The band from Dunn furnished splendid
music for the daily parades and on the
grounds. Music for the dances was Dy
Remsberg's Orchetra, local intuition
which all conider a credit to the COM
munity.
We have heard many expressions Of
commendation for the News and Obser-
yer on its ''write-up'' of Fayetteville and
the Cumberland Fair, and all consider
your special edition of last Sunday
worthy of all Iraise.
: splendid showing was made IN the
daily parades to the fair grounds by the
graded school. This is an institution o.
more importance to the public than al
the fairs that will ever be held, and this
school, under the splendid management
OF Prof. Jones, the new superintendent
with his assistant, Mr.. J.. A. Mclean, ant
an able and enthusiastic corps Of teach
ers, is forging TO the front ranks OF ths
graded schools of the State. Prof Jones
expresses himself as delighted with the
schools discipline and the progress made
in every grade. The attendance is regu-
tar and the enrolment greater than evel
before-so much so, in fact, that an ex-
ira teacher has been employed for one
of the grades.

with Cuba as first and most important
for political rs we'll as economical reas-
ons. then briefly discussed the reci-
procity treaties new pending in the Sem
ate and concluded this portion of his re-
marks by saying:
Last, we come to the treaty with
France, which is more important
economically, than all the other treaties
put together | should like to see a
treaty made with France. 1t is coun-
try with which l would fain strengthen
our good relations. / regard such a
treaty as politically and economically de-
sirable in very high degree
III conclusion he advocated legislation
which would put the American merchant
marine on an equality with hat of other
countries and the building of a navy.
He said:
THE whole country, / think. favors the
building of an Isthmian canal. | believe
from what little know, that we shall
have treaty with England at the COM
ing session which will remove, honora-
bly, for both nations, whatever obstacles
now exist to The building of the canal
in the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. If such
a treaty is submitted to us by the Presi-
dent, there is no more pressing duty than
it's immediate ratification, to be follow
ed at once by the passage of the Canal
Bill
There is one other condition that is
essential to the commerce and indus
trial development of the United States
which, in the last five years, has entered
into a new epoch. and that is the main
tenance of peace There is no nation in
the world to which peace is SO import
ant as it is to the United States in-order
to secure ample scope for the great prog
ress We are making. We are in good
relations now with all the world, and
it will be, am sure the effort of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, as it was of President
Mckinley to maintain these good rela-
tons There is only one point of danger,
and TO assure neace we must protect
ou-st lrcs IL that direction. Firmly but
quietly he Monroe Doctrine must be
rigidly upheld. The entrance of any
great European power into the American
hemisphere, either by the acquisition of
territory or the establishments of forts
and naval stations. would be the insant
menace o fthe peace we are SO anxious
to maintain.
"The best insurance and the best guar
antee of peace are in the possession of
a navy so strong hat no nation OF the
world would be tempted to attack us.
Complete preparation is the surest pro-
lection against war, and war is what We
wish 20 avod. not only morally but
economically, in every honorable way"

Chicago. Ills, Nov. S.-Evidence of
fragrant violation of the interstate COM
merce and the antitrust laws by rail-
roads east and west of Chicago, was ad-
d1ced at today's session of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Traffic
Managers of the lines in the Central
Freight Association and the Western
Trunk Line Cornaittee admitted that
export rates on grain and grain products
are constantly cut and that officials OF
the roads meet at stated periods and
agree upon rates which are then pro-
mulgated by the individual lines inter-
ested. The principal witness of the day
was Traffic Manager George +. Cram
mar. of the Lake Shore road. and his re-
citation of the conditions of affairs rela-
tive to grain, eastbound, aroused the
deepest interest Of the commission.
In the opinion of the commission the
condition shown by the evidence, is the
strongest argument that could be ad-
duced for the passage Of bill by Con-
gress giving the commission the power
to make rates, alter a thorough inves-
rigation UPON complaint and also the
power to punish yiolators Of the COM
missions rulings.

animation by Commissioner Prouty, adj
