MAY NOT CHANGE DATE.
Probable That Roosevelt Will Not See
State Fair

The Advisory Board of the North
Carolina Agricultural Society will
meet in Raleigh tomorrow to confer
with the Secretary of the State Fair,
relative to proposed improvements
and changes at the Fair grounds, and
to advise about matters pertaining to
the securing of greater variety of eX-
hibits from a larger number of coun-
ties this year.
I Also will be discussed at this meet
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of changing the
dates of holding the Fair from the
third week in October to the first
week
1t was stated yesterday by a promi-
nent member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Society that if the
change is made it will make the Fair
decidedly announcement to the farmers
and that hundreds would, necessarily
be kept away 1t is hardly probable
he said. that the dates will be changed
as the sacrifice would be too great.
The Secret or Fraternal order Day
of the Fair, Wednesday, October 18th
will meet with eminent success, as it
has received universal appreciation,
and the plan to give this day over to
the secret orders has become very
popular. Every Ffaternal Order in
the State viii be expected to send
representatives to Raleigh and the
Fair on that day.
Thursday will probably be the Con-
federate Veterans day, and it is being
thought that Raleigh should make it
possible for there to be on Thursday a
general State Reunion of all the old
soldiers in North Carolina.
The State Fair headquarters have
received a large supply of handsome
business calendars which are
ready for distribution, and in a
few days there will be given away at
the headquarters. ''f1y nets for
horses.
Secretary Pogue is well pleased with
the brilliant prospects for an eXcep-
tionally pTaiseworthy Fair this year
and hopes TO make it thing for
pride to the people Of the State.

While prohibition may not pro-

has proven a poor solution of the

We envy the Durham Herald it's
happy faculty of crowding a great deal
of good sense into very small space. If
the above observation does not cut
the sand from under the feet of those
who are forever ringing the changes
on prohibition not prohibiting, we do
not understand the use of the Ian
guage. Which, pray. is most likely to
lessen the use of liquor, prohibition or
saloons? If you are a liquor man
come out and say so, and do not try to

GLORIOUS NEWS. "
Souvenir of Mother Country's Repeal
 of Stamp Act.

Souvenir, of Mother Country's Repeal
 of Stamp Act
 Miss K. A. Pritchard, of Waterbury, has loaned to the State Library a very rare copy of Glorious News, a newspaper of a single issue, which was printed at New Haven on Mon day morning, May 19, 1776. This copy, which is the only one known to be in existence, formed one Of the covers which inclosed rate book found in the Kingsley home years ago.
 The Glorious News" was that brought from Boston by Jonathan Lowder, that on May IS there arrived at Boston a brig belonging to John Hancock, Esq, Captain shubael Golf fin, in six weeks and two days from London with the important tidings of the royal assent to the repeal of the stamp act. The paper was printed by B. Meeor "for the entertainment of the people. in general and. his good customers in particular" The paper ended with this request for contribu- tions:
 MT Lowder having rode very hard to bring the above Glorious Tidings, it is not doubted the Sons of Liberty will be generous in helping to -defray his expenses. 'Tis desired that such donations be left at Mir. Beers Tav- ern."
 The paper is neatly framed and is well preserved, aside from the loss of small portion of it, caused by the crease made in folding it, but this loss is not material, in that It does not se- riously affect the reading. matter. .Andersons History of the Town and City of Waterbury" refers to this copy of the paper, in connection with the account of the rejoicings over the re- peal of the stamp act.
