Bad School Representation.
1t was matter of criticism yester-
day that neither of the State colored
normals, nor st. Augustine, Shaw Uni
VerSlty, nor the colored A. and M.
College was represented at the Fair
by an exhibit. But the schools that
did exhibit made an excellent show.
Perhaps the best is that of the Insti-
tuition for the Colored Deaf, Dumb and
Blind of the State. The work exhibit
most colored school for these unfor
tunate colored people in the South, is
not in the least inferior to that ex-
hibited by the white institution at the
State Fair week before las.
The Crosby graded school exhibit is
in charge of Principal H. S. Christ
mas, and consists of practical school
work in graded school course, map
drawing, free hand drawing. crayon
work, and raphia work. The raphia
work is not prescribed course in the
colored schools, but is taught during
spare time. This exhibit is intended
to show that the head and hand
should be educated together, and is
representative of all the school eX-
hibits.
The best exhibit of agricultural pro-
ducts is that of Fletcher Lockhart. of
Raleigh, who is an extensive farmer.
The exhibit is probably the largest
at the Fair, and should be an in
spiration to every intelligent and as
piring colored youth. All the stock
exhibits had not been placed yester-
day, but many arrived in the after
noon and are on the grounds today.

GENERAL FRANCIS A. MACON.
He Will Look After the Interests of
the North Carolina Military.

North Carolina in it's military af-
fairs has been Signally honored by
the National Guard Association in the
placing of General Francis A. Macon,
of Henderson, on the Executive Com
mittee. This is not alone a recog-
milton of the State. but a tribute to
General Macon, who is one of the
best Guardsmen in the State, a soldier
who has done much to bring the guard
to it's present high position. That he
is highly esteemed by officers and
privates alike is a tribute to him as
a man and as soldier.
Senator Dick, of Ohio, who is preSi-
dent of the National Guard Associa-
ton, has called meeting of his eXecu-
tive committee, to be held in Wash
ington, at an early date. This COM
mittee has charge of the matters of
general interest of the National Guard
throughout the country, and is to the
militia what the general staff is to

Representation on this committee,
being the highest military recognition
that has yet come to this State. it en-
tirely proper for the public to know
just how the military at large
recognizes North Carolina, and it is
especially fortunate for the State that
a man of the military knowledge and
efficiency of General Macon has been
made a member of the Executive
committee. The Washington meeting
is for a conference between this COM
mittee and the General Staff in regard
to militia regulation for the next Com
gress. and an important bill for the
military of the entire country is to
be considered. That this State will
be fully recognized is certain as Cen
