FAIR POSTPONED TO OCTOBER 5, 6, =.

Bad Weather on Opening Day of Fair Re-
- s. sponsible for Postponement.
Inc fair managers could not control
Jupiter Pluvius and as they did not
nave any assurance that the weather
Would improve in the next few days
they decided to postpone the county
fair until the first week in October, on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
October 9Th, 9th and 7th at which time
they33hope for clear weather and a good
tlme.. When Tuesday dawned there
was q great big thick blanket of mois-
tures hanging over this part of the
country and it began to leak in very
nasty and unpleasant way. so that the
managers of the fair decided not to try
bucking the weather, and set the dates
for the fair ahead.
The postponement of the fair has
caused many exhibitors much trouble
and some expense, but there was moth
ing else to do, and everybody will SIM
ply have to make the best of it under
the circumstances.
Bills have been issued announcing
the postponement of the fair and it is
to be, hoped that all will grin and bear
the. delay with patience and be ready
when the fair opens in October with
what exhibits they can hold and get
together. It will not do to let the fair
go by default, for if such a thing would
happen the fair association would not
draw any more money as State aid
which amounts to quite nest egg.

MAY SELL PARTRIOGEs.
But These in the State and Not for Transpor-
tation.

The Chatham Record has the following
which will prove of interest to hunters
1t is not true, as some persons have al
legged, that the last Legislature made 1t
unlawful for any person TO sell partrldges
In this (Chatham) county, where many
dissatisfaction has been aroused by the
circulation of this false rumor. Many
magistrates have been asked about thu
alleged law, but they could not give any
information about, because they could
not find it in the volume of Public Laws.
At last, however, the Private Laws Of
the last Legislature have been publish
ed and among them is printed the new
game" law. 1t is In chapter 337 and is
entitled "An Act to incorporate the Au-
dubon Society of North Carolina and to
provide for the preservation of the song
and game birds of the State" This act
is published among the Private Laws be-
cause it incorporates a society, and yet
it is an act of very public character.
This act does not interfere at all with
q farmer selling all the patridges he can
in this State, but it does forbid their
transportation beyond the State. Per
sons from other States cannot hunt in
this State without paying a license tax of
ten dollars to the clerk OF the Superior
Court, and such persons are allowed to
take with them out of the State fifty
cartridges in a season.
