Mount Holly Fair.

MT. HOLLY, Oct. 1o.-Governor
James F. Fielder and former United
States Senator James Smith, Jr., met
at the Mt. Holly fair yesterday, and
their greeting of each other was
cordial. There was no indication of
bad feeling between them, as might
be inferred from published state
ments of recent date. They met and
talked as old-time acquaintance

pleasantly with each other and those
who gathered about them.'

big crowd was present.
Former Senator Smith arrived on
the grounds ahead of Governor
Fielder, and spent some time meeting
friends before going to a box In the
grandstand, where he remained most
of the afternoon. 1t was while he
was on his way out that the meeting
with the governor took place. The
former senator caught the governors
eye. and, extending his hand, said:

the reply was: How do you do, Sena-

former United States senator was the
only person of prominence on the

Governor Fielder said: Everett, see
I haven't one of your buttons on my
coat" Colby promptly handed his
opponent the button he was wearing
and the Governor rendered his but
