State Fair Premiums.

Assistant Secretary benson yesterday
sent the News and Observer the fol-
lowing in regard to farmers premiums
at the next State Fair:
"The farmers who have brought thei1
field products and garden vegetables
through rather unfavorable season
with good results in theN way of the
grains, grasses, roots, tobacco, cotton,
rice, peanuts. &c, will be rewarded for
their display at the State Fair. Be-
sides the liberal offers. of the society,
aided by the State Board of Agricul-
ture, in the interest of our farmers, the
State Alliance offers line of cash pre-
miums. and some special premiums by
others are to be given. These will be
awarded by expert judges, with care,
and paid promptly.
Everyone interested in farming pro-
gress should send for the new pre-
MUM list. There are special and valu-
able cash premiums for the best dis
play from a two-horse farm, and from q
one-horse farm; also from a trucking
farm, and from mountain farm.
These are separate from the premiums
for individual articles.
1.-The show of agricultural implements
will surpass anything in years past.
Manufacturers under present business
systems do not pay much attention to
exhibits, as under the old system of
active and close competition. But it is
known that the decreased supply of re-
liable labor is forcing our agriculturists
to seek the latest and most approved
labor saving appliances. This will be
one of the most practical departments
of the fair

His Escape. Pernicious Interference
From Abroad.

offered by the State for the arrest Of

had been ordered to jail without bail on
a charge of rape.
The Governor yesterday said it was his
intention to offer such a reward in case
Rogers was not re-arrested at once; and
he added that the reward would probably
include those who assisted in the escape
or were in any wise responsible for it.
Governor Aycock yesterday received no
tice from an organization in the State
of Washington that it had offered re-
ward Of $500 for the arrest of each and
every person implicated in the lynching OF

One by one The old landmarks

that soon the time will be here when
not one Of these worthless who have

The latest one CT these original
Lexingtonians to pass from the active
scenes of this transitory and fading
life into the joys of that life beyond
the great divide where the bloom
Of youth never fade from the cheeks
is Mrs. Catherine Counts, an aged
and venerable mother in Isreal, who
died at the residence of her son-in-
law, Mr.. John a. Dreher, near
Dreher's ferry, on Wednesday, Octo-
ber 30sh, 1901, in the 93rd year of
her age. She was among the oldest
inhabitants of the county and was
the widow of Mr.. J. 81. Counts, ST.,
who in his day and generation, was
a prominent and influential citizen.
Her long years were spent in useful
ness and she was q devoted Christian
woman and always took a prominent
and active part in all church work.
She was the mother of Mrs. John A.
Dreher, Mrs. Thomas ". Holloway
and Mrs. M. H. Witt, and leaves many
other relatives and friends to mourn
