RALEIGH. \. c., Oct. II, 1901
Tonight the Masonic Fair opens under
the most favorable auspices, and the
scene will be one OF brilliant splendor.
Two of the rooms will be lighted by
the Raleigh Electric Co. with special APP
paratus loaned for the purpose by the
General Electric Co., of Schenectady, n.
Y, which company has devoted so much
time and expense in bringing artificial IL
Elimination to it's present high state OF
perfection. Every visitor to the Mason
ic Fair should see in this building the
use of the Concentric Light Diffuser (pri-
marty designed especially for the light
ing OF stores. cotton mills and public
halls). The opportunity to see the effects
of this plan of lighting will be advanta-
peous and beneficial to mill owners and
others.
Visitors are already here in cOnsidera-
BILE numbers and all Raleigh is taking a
kindly interest in this Fair Thousands
of donations from all quarters OF this
and other States enrich the scene and
everybody will enjoy it-and the splendid
Masonic Temple will be built.
One week hence the State Fair also
| opens and SO next week both fairs will
| be in progress at one and the same time.
| AS the State Fair promises to be a record
| breaker, in point of exhibits, attractions
and attendance, this town is likely to
| have within it's hospitable gates more
| people than in many years during like
| period. Secretary Pogue states that the
exhibits of agricultural products. live
| stock, poultry. etc, the displays OF the
educational institutions and OF the me-
chanical arts will be exceptionally fine.
| And then there are the races. the best
midway" yet. the captive balloon and
| the other attractions heretofore noted In
these letters Railroad schedules and
| low rates all that could be asked. With
good weather there will be big time
! here-and no mistake. Let everybody
| come!
The Haywood trial will probably not
| come to an end before Wednesday, on
| which day it is expected to reach the
jury. The speeches of Senator John +.
| Woodland for the prosecution and Hon.
James H. POu for the defense were the
ablest that have been heard in Wake
court house in many years-and that OF
Col. Argo will be another. Indeed all
the speeches were fine efforts.
On Thursday next the EpiscOpalians
will hold special services here in celebra-
| ton of the tenth anniversary of Bishop
Cheshire's conservation. Many clergy
men and laymen from over the State will
attend.
The Comptroller of the Currency has
called for the resignation of National
Bank Examiner Walter r Henry, for al
legged neglect of duty. Mr.. Henry, who
is widely known, had not complied with
the demand at last accounts.
1t has been decided that the North Car
DINA Press Association will hold a mid
