During the Western North Carolina fair this fall, which opens here on the morning of Tuesday, October 13, the people of the city and section will have an opportunity to witness some real fireworks displays. These dis plays will be put on every night by Martin's Fireworks company, which has established an enviable reputation all over the country; and the displays that are to be put on will exceed in magnitude anything of the kind ever shown here. In order that some idea may be given of what the people over the country think of the pyrotechnical displays arranged by this company, the following report of one of them is taken from The Dally Star of Lincoln, Neb., of a few weeks ago. A large crowd was treated to a pyrotechnical display last night at the Capital Beach which was all that was forecasted and more. Screaming rockets which burst high In the air, forming a multitude of colors; Roman candles which released great bunches of multi-colored fire; whistling set pieces and enormous pin wheels that traveled forwards and backwards were all blended together to make a gor geous sight that pleased the spectators and caused frequent applause. "The fireworks were set off In the Beach ball park at :30 and the throng of sightseers which had until that time been giving their attention to other attractions flocked to the en closure with a rush. Pieces were set off In quick succession and there was no delay 'between the acts.' Boom ing crackers and all sorts of mid-air pyrotechnics were varied so as to bring out the most startling effects, and the program was carried out with everything satisfied." Displays like the one described here will be given every evening during the fair here. Although this will be only one of the many big attractions. It alone will ilnuM'ess draw big crowds to Riverside park. lng been convicted of cutting off the thumb of Alonzo Bruton, colored.
