ABERDEEN FRUIT FAIR.

ABERDEEN PROPOSES TO HAVE
A SPLENDID FRUIT FAIR THIS
YEAR, THUS SHOWING WHAT
WE CAN GROW IN MOORE
COUNTY.
Aberdeen Telegram, April, 10
The prospects are for fine fruit
crop this season in this section and
as Moore county, especially this
part of it, raises some of the best
fruit in the State, we suggest that
a fruit fair be held here the last of
June or first of july. The Town
Hall could be utilized for the eX-
hibits or a temporary building
could be built at the Base Ball
Park at a very small cost and we
believe that the mill men would
take stock enough in the associa-
ton to furnish the lumber for
building. There are also quite a
number Of poultry raisers in the
county and that might be added
10 the fruit feature. We believe
that the cost need not exceed $3.50.
for the first fair even if we have to
put up a building and admission
fees alone should bring in that
much; some of the stock can be
raised outside of town and it ought
to be no trouble to raise the baance
among our citizens. Now is the
time to begin work on it, if we
want it and if our people will take
hold Of the matter it can be gotten
in good shape to commence work
in 80 days. A meeting could be
called next week and the matter
discussed and if thought advisable
a committee could be appointed at
once to get subscriptions to the
stock and the association formed
at once. We are sure it would be
a paying invest ment for our town
and splendid advertisement for
the Sandhill section. Let us have
the meeting at any rate.

sunday for III Luck.

Sunday rapidly is taking the place ln popular superstition of Friday as an unlacky day. t used to De that all hangings took place on a Friday; no sailor would put to sea on Friday, and it was considered a bad day in which to beg, buy, borrow or sell. Now, however, We are told that Sunday is becoming the day of bad luck, and ce2- tain tragedies of the first class whiea have occurred of late on Sunday have helped along the superstition. The late Czar of Russia was assassinated on Sunday, and so was President Carnot and King Umberto It was on Sun- day also that the Fay Bridge was blown down. In the north of England it is considered most sure to bring calamity to cut the hair or nails on the Sabbath.

JELKS APPROVES
 JONES' APPOINTMENT
TeIegraphs President That Ills Selec- tion Is Pleasing to the
 State.

Montgomery, October 7.-(Special)-Th news confirming the appointment of former Gov. Thomas G. Jones as United States district judge was received here today with the greatest enthusiasm Montgomery had felt sure of the ap- pointment since Saturday, but today the friends of the new judge have kept him busy receiving their congratulations,
 Nor has this been confined to Montgom- erians. Hundreds of telegrams of con- gratulations have come from all sections of the country, and from people in all stations of life.
 Judge Jones remained in his office until 10 o'clock tonight receiving his friends Just before leaving for home he said to the correspondent of the Age-Herald that he did not desire to give any statement to the press beyond the fact that he was very grateful to his friends for their kind expressions of delight.
 Among the numerous congratulatory messages was one each from District Att toorney Vaughan, J. A. w. Smith and O. R. Hundley. who were applicants for the judgeship.
 Many congratulatory messages were sent from here to President Roosevelt to- day. Among them was the following from Governor Jelks:
 ITO the President:
 ''The entire district and State is grati- fled over the appointment of Governor Jones as district judge. Your policy is highly commended by the whites, and,we believe by the best element of negroes. Governor Jones is one of the ablest law yers in the South and he will adorn the position. His administration of the af- fairs will reflect great credit upon you"
 This message was also signed by Presi- dent John V. Smith and Associate Tun- stall of the Railroad Commission, Audi tor Sowell. Supreme Court Justice Ty- son, Supreme Court Reporter Coleman and Private Secretary Jackson.
 Another message signed by the entire bar of Montgomery was sent to the Pres ident congratulating him upon the selec- ton.
 There has been some gossip here today as to whom Judge Jones will appoint to the clerkship. This position pays 5000 and is at present filled by J. w. Dim mick, Republican national committeeman from Alabama. The opinion prevails here that Dimmick will not be removed It is urged that the President having laid aside politics in the selection of a judge that the judge will in turn put politics aside in the selection of clerk
 At a largely mass meeting of negroes held here today the appointment is commended in a series or resolutions, which declare that it indicates a higher standard of Republican politics in Ala bama

kind introduction and at once launched into the discussiosi of the proposed new organic law. Tle went back before the war and told about the conditions that existed then, and came down the line un- til the movement was placed on foot for the calling of the convention that has just adjourned.
 He told of the trials of the people of Alabama and other Southern states what they had undergone and what they had suffered because of the unjust and iniquitous act enfranchising the vast horde of black men who had been a men ace to good government ever since they were thus honored.
 Part of Captain Johnston.
 He told of the efforts of ex-Governor Johnston and read what he had said about the calling of convention. Then he recited how, after the convention had been called, Captain Johnston throttled the movement. He referred to the fact that three former office holders-Shelley, Stallings and Johnston-were at this time trying to defeat the adoption of the con stitution which after ninety days of hon. est, hard toll by 155 of the abest Ala bamians, had been adopted for submis- sion to the people, and how the three 'exes' were using all sorts of msrepre sentations and demagogical efforts to de- feat this great movement for no other purposes than selfish ones.
 He next took up the arguments of the enemies of the new constitution, reading from decisions of the United States Su- preme Court, where it was shown that the United States government did not be- stow the right of ballot upon any man; that 1t was entirely within the province of the state to say who should and who should not vote so long as they did not

A steel mill s1ual to, or surpassins. thai owned and operated by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co npany at Ems ley, will be built at Thomas by the Re- public Iron and Steel Company.
 This great enterprise had been in con temptation for some time past, but now the plans have been practically agreed upon.

 Discusses District. | President Thompson said yesterday that his company had regarded the Birming- ham district as being the section of all others worthy of attention. Since coming here, Mir. Thompson and his associates had been confirmed in the general im- pression.
 "There Is no use trying to disguise the fact" said one of MT. Thompson's party" that we are carried away with the wealth and the possibilities of this dis trict"
 Here in Birmingham we must have a steel plant" said MT. Thompson, "and we have decided to begin work at once. The Age-Hehald had predicted or rather outlined our work months ago, and now it is about to see the fulflment of it's pre- dictions.
 T had made up my mind about this work. and MT. Kennedy, our expert, comes along and confirms my Judgment. President Thompson and party spent Sunday afternoon at Thomas and yester- day morning at the company's offices in the Hood building in this city.
 Trip to Goethlte. Last night the party left for Goethite, where they will spend the greater part of today, returning to Birmingham at p. m.
 The Republic Company undoubtedly has the purpose of making Birmingham the center of its vast business, and 1t will embark in steel manufacturing her on a gigantic scale.
 This is of immense significance and ia by far the greatest material fact in Bir- minghams history since the planning of the present great steel plant at Ensley!
