RUTHERFORD COUNTY coLoRED
FAIR.

The annual fair held by the Ruther-
ford County Colored Fair Association
is always looked forward to for
months with increasing interest. The
fair which was held last week was
pronounced by every one to be the
most successful Of any previous year.
For several years, the stockholders
had to raise extra funds to pay off the
current expenses incident to running
the fair, but they were never dis
couraged, and each year doubled their
efforts with the result that the fair
just closed surpassed the expectations
of its most ardent promoters. They
were not only able to make good all of
the prizes and premiums offered and
to meet other expenses, but had left
over good dividends
1t was a delightful surprise when
at the opening of the fair, September
"a there were such varied exhibits
The live stock shown was of high
degree and, without doubt, as good as
could be found anywhere in the State
The races were of a high order, and
formed one of the fairs most promi-
ent features The floral hall teemed
with exhibits which showed rare taste
and fine arts. There were numerous
attractions on the grounds which kept
the visitors engaged from the time of
their entrance until their exit. Fully
three thousand people attended the
three days season, many coming from
other parts of the state, and all eX
pressed highest praise for the wise Sc
lection of amusements, the splendid
variety of products shown, and for the
management in general. The order

Ray Lamphere, for the murder of
Mrs. Belle Guinness and her three
children by setting fire to the house.
began this morning, a jury having
been secured. States Attorney Smith
made his opening statement to the
jury before the adjournment of court.
The statement consumed an hour AMI
In 1t he went much into detail as To
what he would prove After the reac-
ing of the Indictment, Mr.. Smith
said:
There has been a lot of talk In
the questioning by the defense about
personing. We charge Ray LAM

ness house. l do not know whether
the defense will offer the person
theory or not, but the evidence wifi
prove the charges as we have made
them in the Indictment. The first
element of our proof will show that
Ray Lamphere set fire to the house.
The second element of proof will be-
that by reason of that fire, Belle Gun

degree and is punishable by death or
life Imprisonment. Prosecutor Smith
stated, "ail we are required to show
is that the defendant set fire to the
house and that these occupants lost
their lives by reason of this act"
Mr.. Smith said that the evidences
will show that Lamphere made re-
marks to various persons indicating
his hatred for Mrs. Guinness and his
intention to do her harm. Taking up
the story Of the night of the fire, the
prosecutor said that by Lamphere's
own statements it would be proven
that he set the alarm clock at Mrs..
Smiths house, where he spent the
night, for 8 o'clock in the morning OF
April %, and that Is or 20 minutes
later he left there I'VE will also

PEKING, China, Nov. 13.--The
Emperor of China died at p. M,
after lingering illness. The cause
of his death was bowel trouble.
The En- peror had been suffering for
ten years past with chronic nephri-
It's, condition lately complicated
with diabetes and sciatica. His
brain was also affected.
Yesterday, the Emperor's condi-
ton became alarming and he was
seen to be sinking fast. His little
brother, the infant son of Prince
-Chun, was sent for and brought
in to the palace.
The Emperor refused to accept
Western medical attendance al
though all the foreign legations
stood ready to lend their physi-
clans to attend His Majesty.
Last August, the Dowager En-
press declined offers to this end
made by the German and British
legations and consequently no fur
tire proffers we're made.
Although the Government has
gazetted during the past few days
audiences between the Emperor and
members of the Grand Council
there is reason to believe that these
have been in name only. There

The government of China is pa
tTiarchal despotism. The Emperor
is the father of his people and as a
father is responsible for the train
ing and behavior of his children, re-
ceiving blame when they prove un-
worthy, and reward when they
show themselves to be virtuous; so
is the peoples welfare the Emper-
or's first care and their preservation
from all harm, both moral and ply
steal, his first duty.
Of recent years there has been
much unrest in China. Modern
ideas have penetrated the Empire.
And but for the Ieactionarv infu-
ence of the DowageI Empress, Wes-
tern ideas would have prevailed as
they have IN Japan. There has
ever been some talk of late of pro
viding for Parliament.
1t remains to be seen how much
influence the Dowager Empress will
have in the new administration
From the youth of the new Emper-
or it looks as if the Dowage1 EN-
press would again have full swing.

The session was enlivened by a
sharp but good natured colloquy be-
tween Percy T. Morgan, representing
the wine growing interests of Cali
fornia, and Representative Boutell, of
Illinois. Mr.. Morgan was telling the
committee why the regulations of
the Dingley tariff covering. the import

to those wines imported from coun-
