THF FAIR.

last of September, the idea of
holding a Fair i'll October was
conceived, and in less than thirty
days the Fair was held and a good
one it was, too. In 1904 another
one was pulled off. Now as
this paper is going from the press,
another one is being held and
from the interest all over the
country, being manifested, it
promises to surpass anything ever
held in the way of an agricultural
Fair, west of the Blue Ridge, Ill
Western North Carolina. The
spacious grounds have been clean
ed off; the club house beautifully
decorated under the control and
management of Miss Bessie Allen.
The superintendent of the various
departments have been there and
made suitable arrangements for
their respective departments.
Wednesday, the first day, will
be devoted mainly to the viewing
of the exhibits and putting the
finishing touches on them.
The Fair will beopened by Hon.
J. B. Freeman, of this county, in
a short speech. Music will be
interspersed the entire time by
the famous Drake Band.
On the second day the commit
tees will be busy throughout the
day making the awards. Also on
the second day the races, as ar
ranged for will take place under
the supervision of MI. Israel and
Mr. Clarke, and other attractive
amusements arranged for.
On the third and last (Educa-
tional and Labor) day speeches
by several distinguished orators
will be made. Also on the same
day will be awarded the cash
premium of fifty dollars offered
by the AsheVille Horse Show As
ISOLATION for the best all round
horse. This cash premium ought
to bring out some fine animals.
The winner of this large and
valuable prize will be awarded by
the judges on that day and the
winner of said prize must enter
said horse at the Asheville Horse
Show of 1905, when the premium
will be paid whether the horse is
a winner In said show or not.
This Is fair e~nough1as it we'll help
the Asheville Horse Show, and it
certainly helps this one, and we
know 1t is appreciated. If the

ashamed of the Fair. Tt is destin-
ed to do a great deal of good for
the county. 1t has already done
much good and much more re-
mains to be done. Another will
be held another year. It is now a
fixture. The people are behind it
the farmers for whose benefit it
was largely instituted are delight
ed with it and are sustaining it.
They know a good thing when
they see it, and dor t you forget
it.
A sufficient number of eating
booths will be there to supply the
inner man and enough of pure
mountain spring water
for a million of people. Welcome
thrice welcome, one and all. Take

IS MACHINE POLITICIAN.

~ #E#s
Tt looks a little queer even
under a Republican administration
from which a good many queer
things can be expected, to see a
cabinet officer issuing campaign
addresses from a desk in his de-
partment. It was said when
Secretary B%onaparte took the
portfolio of the Navy, that he
was not a machine politician and
that he was not at all in sympathy
with campaigns carried on along
party lines. But according to his
letter issued from the department.
i'm connection with the Maryland
state election, it looks as though
he not only was a pretty good
party man but that he knew the
value of his position in a machine
fight. Of course a letter issued
by the Secretary of the Navy Is
going to attract a let of attention
not only in Maryland. but
throughout the rest of the country
as well. Secretary Bonaparte
knows that and he probably
thinks that he will kill several
birds with one letter, making his
position on the negro question all
issue in all of the border line
states. He will probably succeed
though it may not be in just the
way he would wish. He says that
the people of Maryland r being
appealed to by the Democratic
party on the score of race pre-
iudlce. He cites the fact that
there have been no large number
of negro appointments made by
the Republican mayor of Balti-
more as a proof that there would
be none made if the Republican
party were victorious throughout
the state.
This is sophistry. Secretary
Bonaparte knows it as well as do
all residents of Maryland and
other states that have a large ne
gro population and where the Re-
publican party covets political
power. It is probably quite true
that there would be no attempt
to force negro teachers on white
schools if the Republican party
won the state. There are probab-
ly>not many negro teachers who
would want to try drawing a
salary on that sort of q job in
Maryland. At the same time peo-
pie in Maryland and in the other
border states are heartily in favor
of the Acknowledgement of %"llli-
t~erates." If this means that
there will be no more negroes than
whites disfranchised. then it is
only proof that the bulk of the
undesirable voting elment is in
the ranks of the Republican party.
The Republicans would never
stand a chance to win the state
without the aid of the negro vote,
and as Maryland is by tradition a
white mans state it is only
natural that the clean citizens
want to keep it SO. Secretary
Bonaparte's letter will do good
work in calling attention to the
fight that is going on and perhaps
It is Just as we'll that he had a
chance to issue it from the cabi-
net room.

The last game of ball under the drec-

played, and now comes foot ball TO en-
gage the attention of the lovers of out

ed by winter sports, chief among which
will be ice skating with its attendant
dangers. Paw Paw at present has but
the ponds for this healthy pastime, all
of them dangerous for the use of child
rem, made so by cutting ice and the low
erlng of the level by commercial use. The
True Northerner believes that public
sentiment would uphold the school
board 10 building an ice rink at the ath-
letic grounds The cost would be but
little and would afford playground that
would be entirely safe for children, and
many winter games that attract older
people could be played thereon.

UnGratefuI State of Maine.

James G. Blaine, whose name was
so many years linked with Names
political fortunes, has no monument
erected to his memory in the state.
Shortly after his death there was an
effort made to procure funds for such
a purpose, but the difficulty in getting
subscriptions was so great that the
project was abandoned. The state
has not even claimed the remains Of
her once illustrious son and the body
Is buried in Washington. In the ro-
tunda of the statehouse is the bust Of
James G. Blaine, done IN pure white
marble. More than the usual interest
has been attached to this work of
art since II was learned that il has
never been paid for. Prof. G. Trenta-
move Of Florence, Italy, made the
bust and it was placed in the rotunda
Of the capitol in 1899, but up to this
day the sculptor has never received a
red cent.
