FROM OUR RALEIGH
CORRESPONDENT
State Fair Opens Next Week; The Mason
ic Temple; Something About the New
*•
Assistant in Supt Joyner's Office.
Ralsiss, N, C„ Oct. 10.
, Your correspondent today had a
♦elk with Secretary Pogue, of the
State Fair, and what can be learn
ed at present the annual State Fair
to bo pulled off in this city next
week will be one of the moet sue
coaaful in tho hiatory of the North
Carolina State Agricultural Society.
Thia ia almoet the limit that can
be a*id, for it would be very diffi
cult to improve on aeveral of these
evente that have been held since
the present secretary baa been ia
charge of them.
There will be no "midway" this
year.
But then will be s great "Pike"
(a la the World's Fsir at St. Louia)
that ia expected to be a hummer.
Moat of the attractiona of the
Pike will come here direct, in speci
al can, from the Hagentown, Md.,
fair which will be held one week
before the North Carolina fair.
But others than those have aleo
engaged apace on the Pike, end a
mong the number Secretary Pouge
and Treasurer Denson called atten
tion to the G. W. Rollins European
Trained Animal Show, with ita per
forming liona, tigers, leopards,
bears, reptilea, etc. Also the per
-1 »- .lU 4k
loop' on s bicycle. This will be
one of the grandest shows ever ex
hibiting here.
Then there will be thegrest Bick
etts, with their high trappese cap
en and the like.
Aleo Franciaco's serialists and
vsudeville show, snd msny othen.
The exhibits will be large and
varied aa uaual—and even a little
more ao.
The first entry for the fair waa
made today by Hon. Aahley Home
of Clayton. Mr. Home haa aent a
creditable exhibit of buggiea and
wagons. This entry ia one week
earlier than the exhibita have been
placed in the past, snd indicstos
thst space, both for exhibits snd
for amusementa on the Pike, will
be in great demand.
Those who expect to make exhib
its should be sure their space has
been reserved.
Others will be coming in rspidly
from now on and next week hun
dreds will be placed in position.
The rscing this year will be of
the finest snd most interesting
character.
All peraons who propose to make
entries st the fair are requested to
make them aa early aa possible snd
thus avoid the rush.
Tickets for life members of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society
sre now resdy. Those who are
entitled to them are requested to call
at the eecretary'a office at once.

COLOSXD GOODS ASSOCIATION.
Last week about 10 men promi
nent in the Southern Colored Goods
Association met in Charlotte and
perfected the organisation of that
saaociation which wss formed in
Atlanta, Ga , September 71b. The
prims object of the gathering of
these substantial manufacturers was
to improve the conditions of the
colored goods market, which is far
irom satisfactory now and has been
so for some time. Something more
thsn 150,000 spindles and nearly
i.ooo looms were representee}. The
mill men met in the Manufacturers
Club in both morning and after
noon sessions. They elected the
following officers:
F.C Moring, secretary and treas
urer of the Caraleigh Mills, Raleigh,
N. C.. president.
J. W. Fries, president of the Ar
ista and Southside Mills, of Wins
ton-Salem, N. C, vice-president.
B. S. Robertson, secretary and
treasurer of MM Holt-Granite MUU.
o# Haw River, N. C„ secretary and
treasurer.
The following resolutions wore
adopted:
"Resolved, That we recommend
that the colored goods mills contin
ue to cvtsil to the same extent as
in the part threa moaths aad until
the market conditions change.
■■Resolved further. That it is the
•snse of this meeting that the col
ored goods mills should not allow
the commission merchants to make
&e ght sllowaaces beyand the Mis
sissippi river nor north of Chicago,
snd that in no esse should they
permit a guarantee of prices or put
foods on memorandum.**
The secretary was instructed to
notify all oolorsd goods mills in the
South not repreaented in the meet
ing of the action taken and ihvite
them to become members of the
association.
When interviewed as to the ex
tent to which curtailment has been
in effect for the past three months,
Secretary Robertson said it Was es
timated that the curtailment repre
sented one third odbon ot the
Souths total production of coloied
ffiP&ill. the J
purpoee of our association, and
moat of them will join when the
matter is brought to their attention.
In company with Mr. Walter L.
Holt and Mr. T. C. Entwistle, 1
visited a great number of the mills,
going as far South as New Orleans,
snd found sll of them in the move
ment we have inaugurated."
The next meeting of the associa
tion will be held at the call of
the president.

At the meeting of the Mssonic
Temple'committee, held last even
ing in the office of Grand Secretsry
Drewry, there were present a ma
jority of the committee, including
Geu. W. R. Cox. Grand Master
Liddell, Grand Secretary Drewry
and Dr. R. J. Noble.
The chiet business was thst of
srranging tor the deed conveying
the Raleigh Savings Bank building
from the bank to the Masonic Tem
ple Company, and it is expected
that the deed will be passed snd
61ed for record within the next few
days.
There has been some differences
sbout the matter of detail in the
stipulation of the long-term lease
thst the bank is to have on the first
aqor of the temple for banking
house purposes. The committee
went over the stipulstions as pro
posed by the bank and now it is
thought sn agreement will be
reached very aooa. Members of
the committee here for the meeting
were Utand Master W. b. Liddell,
of Charlotte; Gen. W. R. Cox,
Edgecomb; Ur R. J. Noble, selma;
Mr. John C. Urewry, Grand secre
tary. The other members of the
committee are Col. J. a. Cunning
ham, of Person, and Geu. J. &
Carr, of Darham. Neither of these
two gentlemen could be here.
Gen Canr called up Grand Secretary
Drewry to talk the matter over, and
Colonel Cunningham sent his proxy
in the event there should be say
rote on matters to be considered.
Grand Secretary Drewry said last
night that the temple affairs are
progressing admirably on s ' slow
and sure" basis and the work of
tearing away the old buildings pre
paratory for the temple will begin
early in the spring and the erection
of the temple will then be puahed
rapidly to completion.

AM SNIXT to TMB into UD
If the tenor of the utterances of
some of the Northern newspapers
is a safe guide, it begins to look as
though the position oo the negro
question which Mr. Roosevelt has
fored his party to take in this cam
paign. is very likely to coat the Re
publicans a great many votes in
some of the close States which
they would otherwise secure.
The Rooeeveltism social-equali
ty attitude toward the negro, which
the Republican leaders are forced
to assume, is not proving tojbe as
popular among large classes of
white people especially the work
ing claases, in some of the North
ern States aa the President had sup
posed and probably hoped. It cer
tainly is net working any advan
tftg* % Mfct6BPd^ifo.MlK
On the contrary, it is working an
exactly opposite effect. It is ar
ousing an enmity to the negroes
that will grow in years to come in
the North, and eventually work
them much harm collectively and
individually.
It can easily be seen by the ne
groes themselves, in the face
of facts along this line that are de
veloping every day in that section,
that Mr. Roosevelt is a bad man
for the race to. have for a "friend."
And not only Mr. Roosevelt, but
