PLANS FOR PARADE
Elaborate Trade Floats and a
Floral Section.
An Informal Meeting of State Fair Officials
Yesterday. Visiting Floats viii Be
Transported Free,

President ]. \. Ions, of the State Fair,
and Chief Marshal John L. Patterson, OF
Roanoke Rapids, were in the city yester-
day, and had an informal consultation
with Secretary Joseph E. Pogue and
Treasurer C. B. benson.
Mr.. Sherwood Higgs and Mr.. Henry
w. Miller were present also, and many
valuable suggestions were made as to
the street parade, Which is this year to
be a very prominent feature of the fair.
Mr.. Miller said he thought it would be
a good idea to have on exhibition several
Pullman cars and dining cars CT the
latest model. This suggestion met with
the approval of all present.
Mr., Ifiggs will spare no pains to make
the parade a grand success both from
Il spectacular and financial standpoint
financial because it is believed that q
great parade is an important factor in
drawing crowds to g fair OF this kind.
1t is proposed to have the parade com
posed of five sections. Industrial, Nor
c~antilc, Trades, Railroads and Floral.
There will be floats from the different
towns in the State. representing the va
i NUS lIduStIl ., ~ Il dutS. ldbOI ullDiS.
historical events, etc. A committee will
pass upon these floats before they are
allowed 20 take part in the parade, so
that none that does not come up to the
standard shall detract from the appear
a1ce of the whole pageant.
Many towns will send floats. Grccns-
horO, Durham, High Point, GoIdsboro,
Rcidsville, Charlotte, Winston, New Bern.
and others. These floats will be trans
ported free of charge. and will be UNI
loaded at This end at the expense of the
State Fair Association.
The floral section of the parade will
be a great feature. \ gold medal Will
be offered for the most beautifully deco
rated vehicle, and a cash prize for the
second best. These floral paraaes have
Teen tried with very marked success in
many places. and there is no reason to
suppose it can. not be made a striking
| part Of our State Fair.
The floats will he in charge of a gen
tleman who is al expert in handling
such parades.
There will be plenty Of music for tho
big parade. 1t was suggested yesterday
to have a band ahead CT each of The five
sections. The line Will proceed uD Fay
ettevil1c ana Hillsboro streets into the
Fair grounds, up the midway and around
the race track.
The railroads, Mr.. Miller says, will
surely furnish a sufficient number of ears
to accommodate the crowds, however
large. Everything possible will be done
toward facilitating the running of OK
c1irsiOns TO Raleigh during Fair week.

"A FIRE At FUQUAy
Creosote Plant Destroyed
Yesterday Morning.
Loss Is Estimated at From $4,000 10 So, 500.
There Was No insurance. A Serious
Loss TO Community,

The new creosote and tar plant at Flu
quay Springs was almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire early yesterday morning.
A phone message last night stated that
the loss was estimated at from 1900 to
81, 500.
There was no insurance, as the com
panies Will not carry risks on such
plants.
1t is thought that the fire started at
about a quarter to six o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t was discovered by the fire
man at about six o'clock, when he went
to start up the fire for the engine. At
nine O'Clock it was still burning in a
good blaze, for the tar vat did not catch
until after the factory had almost en-
tirely burned down
There were no means of fighting the
fire except some patent fire ~extinguish-
crS.
The engine, which stood off to one
side. escaped injury, and the boiler, be
ing filled with water, was probably not
damaged seriously. The main loss was
in the wooden framework and the cop
per coils of pipe.
If is thought tina the fire originated
from a blaze shooting up through one
of the furnace doors and catching the
roof, for the roof burned first. The
plant as worked until one O'Clock yes
terday morning, and the fireman thought
hat he put out the fires, but they must
| have caught again from the hot Goals.
The plant, which was only lately eS-
tabIished and has been in operation
about two months, was owned by DR..
James A. Sexton, Of this city; Or. Bill
finger. Mr.. D. X. Wright, of Fuquay
Springs: and Mr.. Ingold, of Fayetteville.
TIE plant gave employment 10 11teen
hands. and it's destruction is a serious
blow to the community. There is little
doubt that it will be rebuilt very soon.

PRITCBARD TO NAME OPPONENT
OF CONGRESSMAN EDWARD W. P0U,
The Congressman Gives Marion Buffers bot
Description Of the Fusion Doodle
Aggregation.

Congressman E. w. Pou reached the
city yesterday afternoon from his home
at Smithfeld. He looked happy and there
was no shade of anxiety on his face con-
corning the opposition Of Boilers and
Radicals in the Fourth District.
Whom do you think will be put up
against you, Mr.. Pou?' was asked him.
Il don't know who is to be my op-
ponent,' he said, and then added. His
selection is in the hands of Senator
Pritchard."
In talking with Mr.. Pou about the
clean, able and economical twitter
from the Pritchard platform, and the
challenge from Senator Pritchard to a
comparison of records with the Demo-
cratic party, Mr.. Pou said:
Ex-senator Butler furnishes US with
a sufficient answer to Senator Pritchards
challenge for a comparison Of the fusion
legislatures with the last two Democratic
legislatures. No man in the State was
better qualified to speak of the fusion
legislatures than Mr.. Butler. In the
Caucasion of February 81, 1897, he said.
Up to this date the Legislature is a
damnable disgrace to the State Now
bear in mind that on that date the Les
i~slature had done most of it's work, only
a few days of the session remained.
On the same day Mr.. Butler declared III
his paper, speaking of the various COM
mittees Of that General Assembly, that
is is almost impossible to get their at
tention to any bill that does not carry
some Job with it. The last issue of the
Chatham Record reproduces several
other choice morsels of this character,
which should be read and considered

SEVERAL PERSONS 8AD PISTOLS,
The Blackburn Assault on Mr.. Merritt Looks
More IKE a Conspiracy.

Evidence multiplies that the attack
upon Mr.. Merritt was the result OF a
conspiracy, though Senator Pritchard de-
MES that he knew anything Of Black
burns intention before the assault was
made. The Asheville correspondent OF
the Charlotte Observer, a political friend
Of Blackburn, sends these additional
statements:
Mr.. Merritt when asked for a state
ment of the difficulty, from his point OF
view, said that he would only say in a
general way that Blackburn had applied
an epithet to him which no man would
hear without resenting it. He has rea-
son to believe, he says, that the Whole
trouble was the result of a conspiracy
in which Senator Pritchard and Clerk
Cowles were concerned. In speaking OF
the circumstances which lead him to
this belief Mr.. Merritt mentioned the
fact that he was interfered with sew
eral times in the fight while Blackburn
was not, and the fight was allowed TO
proceed until it threatened to become
general, and was not stopped until the
proprietor of the hotel ran in with
drawn pistol and commanded peace,
declaring that he would shoot the first
man VINO should start the nght again.
Mr.. Merritt asserted that the article to
which Blackburn took exception was
sent out from Charlotte and went the
rounds of the morning press OF several
cities. He had, said Mr.. Merritt, sim
ply quoted the substance of the article.
and added the prediction that Black
burn would not be reelected. Mr.. Mer-
rift says he has received a great many
messages d~enouncing the action of Black
burn and his 'co-conspirators.'
THE fight was certainly a strenuous
affair. Besides the revolver f1ourished
by Proprietor McKissick. who was going
TO have peace if he had to fight for it,
there were evidences that several per
sons were loaded though this does not
apply to the active participants And
one revolver was found on the floor after
the Scrjmmage.'
