STATE FAIR PREMIUM LIST.
More Prizes for Live Stock This Year
Increase in Premiums i'm the To-
bacco Section.

Increase i'm Premiums i'm the To-
bacco Section.
The Premium List of the Fifty
first Great State Fair of North Caro-
lima is just off the press The Fair
is to be held as usual during the third
week in October, coming this year be-
tween the 18th and the 21st. The
book is neatly bound in an attractive
cover, well printed on good paper,
and has few more pages than usual.
Department classifications have
been revised again this year, and pre-
miums further increased.
In Department A (Field and Gar
den Crops), the policy adopted this
year is to- divide the big-money
awards into more premiums; for IN
stance, three prizes now are offered
in the individual agricultural exhibit,
ten in the Mems Corn Contest, twen-
ty-four in the Boys Corn Contest,
and eleven in the Cotton Contest.
The girls are remembered this
year, Tomato Contest having been
A notable increase of premiums is
in the tobacco section, made possible
by Mr.. J. O. w. Gravely and other
citizens Of Rocky Mount
Coming to live stock, it is a sig
nificant fact that the Percheron So
ciety of America, for the first time
this year, is offering it's magnificent
prizes at our Great State Fair, one
of four Southern Fairs thus put on a
plane with the greatest Fairs of the
United States. The Fair has also en-
larged it's own premiums in the Per-
cheron class Other lives took asso-
Citations rendering their prizes here
this year are the Holstein-Friesian
Association of America, American
Hereford Association, Hampshire
Sheep Association Increased this
year,, Angora Goat Association (our
Fair doubles Angora premiums)
American Poultry Association, Amer
lean Berkshire Association, North
Carolina Berkshire Association, Du-
roc Jersey Association, Berkshire
World Futurity Show, American Ply
mouth Rock Club. This Fair supple
ments several of these special offers.
In the Poultry Department it was
deemed advisable this year to limit
competition for premiums to North
and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennes-
see, and Georgia.
The ''slapper" nuisance has been
relegated to the past along with the
whips and other things that might
become source of annoyance amid
the carnival of high spirits prevail
ent at the Fair.
The Department of Horticulture
shows considerable improvement.
Again this year the solid silver cup
valued at 5000 is offered for
sweepstakes in horticulture. 1t was
won last year by the Sparger Orchard
Company of Mount Airy, N. C. The
book contains a remarkably hand
some cut Of the horticultural exhibit
at the State Fair last year.

Fuquay Springs is mighty pleas

WILL ASSUME
WARDEN'S DUTY
Asylum Superintendent to
Act in Capital Case.

There has been much speculation as to
who will have to hang Matte E Lomax.
the colored woman condemned to death
for the murder Of her husband, unless
executive clemency intervenes before
July 81.
Before the abolition Of the office OF
warden Of the Jail. that unpleasant off,
cial act would have fallen to the lot of
former Warden Mckee. But now, as the
duties Of that office are transferred to
the superintendent Of the asylum. that
official, who takes office on July Of this
year, WILL so far as legal authorities in
the District can see, be obliged to carry
out the sentence Of the court.
In the appropriation bill Of 1912. which
provides for the merging Of the jail and
the asylum. the law expressly says: "An
the duties, discretion, and powers now
vested in and exercised by the warden
Of the Jail of said District. and the su-
perintendent of the present Washington
Asylum are hereby transferred to and
vested in the superintendent herein pro-
vided for ."
Public sentiment, as expressed by many
who were asked by The Washington Her.
aid to give an opinion on the pro-
priety of the hanging of a woman In
the District Of Columbia, brought out an
almost unanimous expression that so long
as capital punishment Is legal in the Dis
trict, no distinction should be made for
reasons Of sex

SOUTHERN GETTING
READY FOR STRIKE
Firemen Believe They Will
Have to Quit Work.

Calmly ignoring the warnings Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive F1remen and
Engineers. representing 5000 dremen on
the Southern Railway. who are on the
verge Of a strike, the officials Of the road
are continuing to order box cars for the
accommodation Of strike-breakers. which
are being delivered at all the large cities
on the main line OF the Southern.
H. o. Teat, vice president Of the broth.
erhood, warned the railway officials Wed.
nesday that they are breaking faith with
the commission into whose hands the con-
troversy has been placed by preparing for
the strike before II has been ordered.
It was learned from officials that box
cars have been delivered at Alexandria,
Spencer. n. c., and Knoxville. Tenn,
for the accommodation of strike-breakers.
Mr.. Teat claimed last night that re-
liable Information had been received by
the firemen that other important rail-
road centers are being turned into sta
tions for the accommodation of strike
breakers.
The firemen and railroad officials met
the Erdman commission yesterday, but
did not take a step nearer a solution of
the controversy.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engi-
neers will confer with the officials to-
day. 1t is probable they will join the
firemen in case a strike Is called.

vember 10 last, dressed in the conven-

dinal Gibbons figured in his arrest,
when he unmasked West, who insisted
upon being identified by the Cardinal
after his apprehension. The venerable
archbishop said to the police: Keep
this man under arrest. He is not a
priest. He Is an impostor."
The specific charge for which West
will be tried 10 that Of passinR two
worthless checks for $500 ana $3.50;
and for the larceny Of blank post Office
