MIR. POGUE AT THE HELM.

The unanimous reelection of MT.
Joseph E. Pogue as secretary OF The
State Fair is a deserved recognition
of the efficient management which has
brought the Fair up to its present nigh
position. Before Mr.. Pogue accepted
the active management Of the Falr
there was no continuous and connect
ed direction and therefore there mad
been lacking the uniform adoption or
methods calculated to bring about the
best results. Mr.. Pogue's term mas
been long enough to enable him TO
secure attractions every year of bet
ter character, to carry out strict buSl-
ness methods, and to make STATE
Fair worthy Of the name. 1t is mat
ter for cOngratulation that Mr.. poSue
has accepted a reelection. 1t IS q
guarantee that the Fair is improving
and becoming better and better every
year.

J. C. Baird of Pittsburg,
Found Murdered.
A CRIME MOST BRUTAL
The Victim Beaten to Death With a
Huge Club Found On the Scene OF
the Tragedy. Robbery Appears
TO Have Been the
Motive.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer
Salisbury, n c., Oct. 20.-A man
whose name is supposed to be ]. G.
Baird, of Pittsburg, Pa, was found
dead on a roadside near this city
this morning, and the corOner's jury
has returned a verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death at the hands
of unknown parties. The man ap-
pears to have been 40 years of age.
The body was identified by articles
in his pockets.
The corpse was found beside a
large tree by a lad passing by, who
reported the discovery to the authori-
ties. Sheriff Julian and other local
robbed, murdered and his face beat
ell into a jelly.
Mystery surrounds the murder. The
secure g clue to the guilty parties, but
so far have been unable. That the
man was robbed is apparent from the
fact that his pockets were out and
all ValuableS which he may have had
taken.
Besides the injuries to the face,
number of other bruises were found.
A huge club, with which the victim
was beaten to death. was found near
the scene of the tragedy. 1t was
covered with blood and hair. The af-
fair remains as much a mystery to-
night as when the body was found
this morning.

Service program as carried OUT in hal-
eigh was farce and nothing more II
was not even pompous. Certain good
and strong men like display. II that
be the idea, this bedding, sleeping ana
eating with detectives is not the k1hd
to impress the people of free coun-
try What would be more to TIE point
would be to have the President so at
a gallop through the streets with cav
airy before and behind like a sure
enough potentate. Southern people
would feel better if they were run
over by horses mounted by good riders
in fine uniforms than to suffer the hui
initiating disclosure which search Of
the hip pocket may produce, even
though no weapon be concealed there.
General Grant feared nothing and
was brave enough in fact to demand
and obtain his personal liberty. TO
be brushed aside by a detective, who
was sent to nurse him would have
ended that secret agents career.
General Grant went over the entire
q.
in any of the memoirs of his life.
General Grant lived just after the
largest war which the world had
known, in a time when passions were
at white heat. Yet anyone was apt to
meet him alone on the streets. The
story is known of the meeting of
Joseph jefferson with Grant in an ele-
vator.
How are you, Mr.. Jefferson ?"
asked the President
you have the advantage of me,
sir" replied the great actor.
oh" said the President simply, II
am L. S. Grant
Mr.. Cleveland is credited with the
Secret Service idea. He never went
out of the White House, as a rule,
unless accompanied by such a body
guard. Yet he went about and made
speeches and went fishing and was
seen of many men. Even such
marksmen as they have in the North
ern cities could not have failed to
pot him if they had wished to do SO.
President Mckinley was surrounded
by Secret Service people, and yet a
man with every mark of an anarchist
upon him, with the transparent dodge
of a handkerchief to conceal his wea-
pom, marched up and fired the shot
which made Theodore Roosevelt
president.
Could his great big agent who
rides on the boot, Or the other little
detectives who follow along in the
wake and search reception commit
tees and throw down innocent old
men, stand him in any better stead
in like emergency?
Mr.. Roosevelt acts and talks like a
brave man and he is on record as APP
proving of comlk on sense. He would
be even more popular if he would cut
from his evidently Democratic dispo-
sition this false excresence; if, brave
he would not permit that
should advise or brutality ac-
him when he goes to see the
people of any section of the country
which has honored him.

One man asked another, ''Why is
land in Pitt county so much higher
now than it was ten years ago?' The
answer given was that ten years ago
the farmers were in debt and many of
them had to let the land go to pay
what they owed, while now the farm
ers as a class are practically out of
debt, ninety per cent. of them have
money ahead, and many instead Of
having to sell land are trying to buy
more. There is something in that an
swer worth thinking about.

HALL
FOR 'TONKA BAY
FINE IMPROVEMENT PLANNED
BY THOMAS LOWRY.
Big Building VIII Be Erected West Of
the Tonka Bay Hotel to Accommo-
date Conventions and Larke Social
date Conventions and Large Social
Be Remodeled During Winter Months.

Property owners at the lake are in
clined to take time by the forelock and
plan for new summer, when the old
has just made it's exit. At Tonka Bay
there will be no end Of improvements
and changes. Mr.. Lowry is determined
to make it one Of the very attractive
resorts next summer, and will spare no
expense to achieve such an end. During
the past seasons large hall has been
needed at the hotel for the convention
and for the social affairs which have
marked the weekly round. Usually the
large dining room was used for these
purposes and change from dining
room into smartly decorated ballroom,
or neatly fitted up convention hall,
and then back again to the dining room,
has been customary occurrence at
will all be different next summer, for
large amusement hall will be built
adjoining the hotel.
This new hall will be situated on the
property Of the hotel near the Gideon
Bay shore and will be connected with
the hotel proper by long arcade from
the southern side Of the veranda. It is
to be large enough to accommodate al
the conventions which have been hello
| in past years and which are due to meet
again at the lake next season. A number
Of other conventions are expected anc
Larran gements are now being made.
| Mr.. Godfree, who has been manager
at Tonka Bay hotel for. two successive
years, will attend to many Of the details
in putting up the building, as he is il
St. Paul this winter, managing the
Aberdeen. AS he is within easy reach
the improvements will be under hi
supervision rather early so as to have
the hotel ready for a seasonable open
ing.
It is the plan Of the owner to entirely
refurnish the best suite of rooms in the
house. and also to transform the parlor
and the lobby into handsome and in
viting apartments. The large patronag
which the hotel received last. summe
! from wealthy travellers makes it almos
imperative that it be put on footinI
which will enable it to compete with tn
I best in the country.
