LOCAL AND GENERAL.
The Fair is over.
Coalition is a success in the Cape
Fear section.
O’Hara’s friends say he will cer
tainly be elected to Congress.
Good crops throughout the State
and all are happy over the abun
dant harvests.
President Arthur lavors Coalition
in North Carolina. Let us make it
a success throughout the State.
Our absence from the city this
week causes news to be scarce and
our paper late. Please excuse us.
Mr. J. T. Sehenck has been an
active politician in this county for
many years. His appointment is a
recognition of the colored man.
If the promise made by the Lib
eral leaders are not complied with ;
if the colored men have not a fuller
recognition, something is going to
“drap.”
We regret to say so, but our
young men are fighting among
themselves. They say a man must
live in our city a term of years be
fore he is elligible to appointment.
Be careful what you say.
“When rogues fall out honest
men get their dues.” Now the
Democrats arc falling out and we
think the day of justice and fair
dealing for the Negro is dawning.
Let us look to that end.
J. F. K. SIMPSON.
This young man is one of Biddle's
last graduates, and we do not think
we say too much when we say he is
one of Biddle’s best He opened
school in Fayetteville last Monday,
and we aro glad to say with a good
number. While Fayetteville has
some good English scholars, we con
gratulate the young men ofthe town
upon having in their midst such a
fine scholar and gentleman to re
main with them. We say to them
and the general public that Mr.
Simpson is ome of the best scribes in
the State, and we think might be
prevailed upon to give instruction in
penmanship as well as any of the
languages or sciences.
As we are well known in Fayette
ville, and know Mr. S. well, we do
not hesitate to recommend Mr. S. to
the good people of our old home.
THE FAIR.
Successful Exhibition.
The Industrial Fair was formally
opened on Tuesday last, in Raleigh,
by Mr. McGchee on account of the
absence of Gov. Jarvis.
The exhibitions in the different
halls were excellent, especially in
the Floral Hall. Our colored ladies
have done credit to themselves and
the race generally. So far as ex
hibits are concerned the fair was a
a grand success. The crowd was
not very large until Thursday,
when, though the weather was very
unfavorable, there was a very large
number out. The rain on Wednes
day prevented a large attendance
that day.
Rev. Jos. C. Price was the orator,
as Prof. R. T. Greener failed to
come. We need not say he made an
able and interesting speech, though
he had only a few hours to prepare.
There were more intelligent look
ing colored people, more pretty wo
men—as John Willamson said —than
we ever saw at once before.
N. W. Harllee, chief marshal, ac
quitted himself excellently both
upon the streets and in introducing
the speakers. One grand thing our
fair does is to bring our intellect and
beauty together once a year. The
fair was a grand success.
The Colored Fair.
RAelgh Mens and Observer ol Thursday.
Yesterday, dispite the rain, the pro
cession, escorting Gov, T. J. Jarvis and
Gen. W. R. Cox, went out to the grounds
of the North Carolina Industrial Asso
ciation on time. After the usual pre
liminaries, the speaking was held in the
large hall.
Uov. Jarvis, the first speaker, be gan
by saying he had opened the fair ttiree
years ago, with hope, mingled w ith
doubt. He feared that they might get
weary in well doing. This doubt 1 lad
given way and the future was bright
for the assoeiation. He said that his
feelings towards the colored people
were very kind. Since they had ob
tained their freedom not one of th em
had ever spoken an unkind word to
him. He did not want to talk politics,
but intended to speak plainly. The
negro had spent too much time in poli
tics. It was the duty of every good
citizen to take an interest in the affairs
of the State, bat it should be the first
concern of the negro to get la nd and
build himself up, material and. moral
education being the great lever of im
provement. He had urged everywhere
to the utmost of his power the import
ance of education. After all, he con
cluded, do what we will! for you, the
matter rests with you. W ork, accumu
late property, live upright lives, and
yon become good citizeii s, and will be
and will be elevated.
Gen. Cox next spoke. He said that
the better class of white men in North
Carolina were friendly to the negro. It
gave him great pleasure, when ques
tioned by gentlemen fre m other States
as to the condition of the negroes in
this State, to say that they were doing
well and the most kindly relations ex
isted between the races. How could it
be otherwise, they had been raised to
gether. He paid a feeling tribute to
his old nurse. Said while in Congress
he had striven to pass the educational
bills, and, with many compliments to
the exhibition, clos ed.
Secretary John H Williamson thank
ed Gen. Cox and Gov. Jarvis and Mr.
McGehee for their remarks. In travel
ing over the State he had been impress
ed with the kind feelings of the better
class of white people towards them. He
endorsed fully the remarks of the Gov
ernor that the negro himself particu
larly, had been too much in politics,and
thought there was a change here.

Narrow Escape from Sudden Death.
Laurlnburg Enterprise
On Saturday last while Watt Stew
art, son of Mrs. Sarah Stewart, and
Jack CbapmaD, two small boys, were
playing at Mr. Parker’s Mills, near the
depot, Jack ran to the revolving shaft
and placed his hands upun it. His ex
ample was followed by Watt, who
placed his hands on the top of Jack’s,
instead of on the shaft, which tighten
ed the grip of the latter, and as quick
as thought both boys were hurled over
and around the shaft with tremendous
force, and had made one or two revolu
tions before the machinery could be
stopped, which was done as soon as
possible by a colored employee, who
witnessed the accident by throwing off
the belt. The boys fell and each one
sustained a broken arm and severe
bruises about the hips. Had it not been
for the prompt action of the colored
man in throwing off the belt and thus
stopping the shaft, both the little fel
lows would no doubt have been killed.

To the Republicans of Meoklenburg Co.,
GREETING :
Fellow-Republicans : Appre
ciating the responsible trust reposed
in mo by electing me chairman of
your Executive Committee, in all
confidence I bespeak the cordial sup
port of every Republican in old
Mecklenburg.
Your State and county is once
more engaged in a fierce battle for
human rights and civil liberty. On
the 7th of November tbe voters of
North Carolina aro to decide wheth
er the Bourbons or the Liberals are
to rule the State. The action of our
State and County Conventions have
bound every true Republican to
march in this campaign under the
broad banners ol Liberalism.
Let me as your chairman, person
ally appeal to every Republican in
our grand old county, to forget the
past and allow no personal prefer
ence nor revengeful feeling prevent
you from battling against your old
enemy.
I beg you to listen to no decep
tive arguments of our wily foo ; that
it is only a choice between demo
crats. Remember the candidates
on the Liberal ticket are pledged to
restore your stolen rights, viz : the
olection of your magistrates, county
commissioners, school committee
men, etc., and to give you a free
eleetion and a fair count. Tho can
didates on the other side are the
representatives of the party that
has deprived you of your rights and
stole your votes.
Finally, let the watchword be,
Organize to-day 1 See that every
man registers! Work, work, work !
Goto the polls on the 7th of No
vember determined to vote the Lib
eral ticket, and when the sun goes
down victoiy will perch on the al
lied banners of Liberalism, and our
old proscribing, intolerant, rigbts-l
defying enemy will be hurled from
power, our good old State and grand
old county redeemed from Bourbon
ic rule. Respectfully,
