that it will not be necessary to send
troops, as the Chinese government is
taking precaution to prevent an up

COUNTY BUILDINGS
New System Suggested
For Exhibits at State

Mr.. H. Cole, a prominent citizen of
Johnston county, who had charge of
his county's admirable exhibit at the
last State Fair. has written to Mr..
Joseph e. Pogue. secretary of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society
suggesting that the various counties
erect small buildings at a minimum
cost, for their exhibits, giving individ-
uaiity to the counties and possibly
better opportunities for the best dis
plays and incidentally charging the
fair.
While it is impossible to carry out
this idea this year, with even a few
counties, yet it is an excellent plan
suggested and it may be adopted by
a large number of counties next year.
1t would mean that each county. de-
Gliding to erect this structure. sub
scribe from its citizens about $500, and
it would then have a permanent place
at the fair. The floral hall would
then be used for the promiscuous eX-
hibits, and for those of the several
counties which might not have erected
these special county buildings.
The letter of Mr.. Cole is as fol-
lows:
IF other counties will fall in line, and
the trustees will allow us to, we will
Oullu IL mousse LOT the puTpOSt OI us
playing the Johnston county exhibits
from year to year.
1--WE can easily raise from $500 to
$500 to build us a permanent house
for our exhibit, and name it the
Horne House..
eff you think the plan feasible. ana
think we can get suitable location.
and that other counties will do likewise,
SO that it would notisolate our exhibit.
please so advise me.
THE above plan would put all COM
petitive exhibits to themselves max
ing that a distinct feature of the fair,
and have ali the present buildings
open to promiscuous exhibits"
AS the local political contests will
be over this week, Mr.. Pogue says
that next week he will begin earnestly
and heartily to work on the State Fair
prepare tons. President Ashley Horne,
of Clayton, will be in Raleigh Monday
and he, with Mr.. Pogue, will visit the
fair grounds and determine upon what
improvements are advisable. Ample
protection will be accorded all property
of every character. and adequate facil-
tiles will be given to every exhibitor
and county for their displays, and a
great many attractive arrays of many
kinds are assured by the secretary, rs
more counties will exhibit this year
than ever before.
Secretary Pogue and President
Horne will personally take up the
proposition of attractions and only
such as are both interesting and in
structive affording amusement to civil
lied people, which will not be offensive

Miss Patterson's father was not

which might act upon the sympathy or
the jurors must be avoided.
That the prosecution has not aban-
doned its contention that the reyove,'
with which Young was killed was pur-
chased by j. Morgan Smith. was shown
during Mr.. Rand's opening argument.
He declared that Young never owned

flat statement: THE revolver that

that an agreement had been made by
him and Messrs. w. N. Jones and e.
II. Maynard to postpone the meeting
till Thursday night, the old committee
to meet Friday. The reason stated
for this was that Mr.. James II. Pou.
leading counsel for Mr.. Goodwin, was
detained out Of the city and had wired
that he could not be here Monday
night. The meeting ended thus.
At night a large crowd gathered
in the mayors office at the meeting
of the Old committee. Chairman
Pogue presided and the attorneys, Mr..
w. N. Jones for Goodwin, Mr.. w. h.
Jones for Upchurch, stated the agree
ment. Mr.. Pou, having returned came
in later, as did Judge Womack.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels called atten
ton to the fact that the regular eiec-
ton took place on Monday next and
that Friday night would be too late
to meet if a new primary was ordered
for the ward. He stated that there
were three suggestions, one by Mr..
w. b. Jones that Upchurch was legal
ly elected; second by Mr.. Pou, that
Mr.. Goodwin was legally elected. and
third that the result of the contest
might be the ordering of a new pri-
mary For these reasons, and to be
in time. he moved to consider the
contest on Tuesday night.
On enquiry from Mr.. Emory Mr..
w. b. Jones declared his position to be
that the old committee was out of
office and the matter could not be
heard by them. Mr.. w. n. Jones took
the opposite view.
Finally, after much discussion, the
counsel for either side asked that
Wednesday night be selected. Mr..
Daniels withdrew his motion for Tues
day night, saying he did so because OF
the request of the counsel. Mr.. Ora
ham Haywood, who had moved to
make the time Friday night, withdrew
his motion and moved that the COM
mittee adjourn till Wednesday night

seconded the motion and it was unani-
mously adopted.
