INTERESTING CALIFORNIA LETTER. The California Stats Fair and other Uat . ters Mostly "Other Matters." Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 16. To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic: There is nothing l.ke a State Fair for exhibiting the real genius and industry of a people.' ' It brings out, in marked lines, the individuality and characteristics ; of a common wealth. You see the people and their development there. This de velopment does aot consist simply in their show of pigs and pumpkins and poultry of crazy quilts and cows and cabbage, and all the rest of the catalogue of "exhibits" ; but you see the real people there the peopla in Sunday garb, with their "best foot foremost" their highest achievement in every department of life, in art, in science; in civiliza tion, and in custom, character and capacity. The best that the land affords may be reasonably expected always at a State Fair. We do not send bur swamps, our barrens, and our sterile deserts for the" outside world to come in and look at and be tempted to make themselves and their capital one of us. No. We send our gardens, our orchards, our richest fields, our choicest dairies, our fatted calves, our favorite steeds and the best i mechanisms that are typical of our art industries. And we always send these along with rep resentative men and vomen. We don't keep all our solid and brilliant men, and pretty, captivating women at home, and let the hard-favored and the blunt, unwise folks speak for us at our State Fairs. No. A State ' Fair let me repeat always represents what is really intended to be the very best that Stata can pro duce whether of art or j nature but especially the products of its soils. . , I have been led into this train of thought by a contemplation of the California State Fair as contrasted with the great North Carolina i Ex position of 1884, which I attended for a week, and of which I wrote some account published in The Topic, as your readers may remem ber. Happily for me, my , official work on this coast has thrown me at; the capital city - of - Calif ornia, Sac ramento, daring the continuance of the State Fair. I have been in and out of the city for the whole period of the Fair, and the : nature; of my duties has been such as to enable me to see mnch of it, and o study ' it well and thoroughly, in the inter lude in duty.' I am told there is but one thing lacking to make it the very grandest occasion of the kind ever known on the Pacific coasts I I know your readers will smile when I tell you what is wanting. It is this the gamblers are not all here 1 A few of these gentlemen have hes itated to I put in their appearance since it was made to appear to these numerous citizens that well dijested plans had been laid in official or le gal enactments to bring sundry of them into the gentle toils of the police, and every mothers son wa3 fearful he was among "the spotted." Hence this absence. By the way, we people in the east have no idea of the amount of gam bling going on on the Pacifie coast. The seed of this great curse was sown in the old days of the "Argo nauts." and it has taken such firm and deep root that the tree sheds a bitter and blighting shadow' all over this fair land. I am told,, in all se riousness, and with the emphasis of evidence, that one third of Ahe men tCalif ornia are gamblers ! From what I have seen at thq various fairs J have seen since out here, 1 sin cerely believe it. There are, not withstanding all the precautions taken against them, over two thous and bunco men in the city. I send your Dr. J. M. S. a bundle of local papers which contain sever al articles in regard to this gambling question, and the effect it is having on the Fair. Notwithstanding all the alertness and vigilance of official authority there are in the city sev eral thousand of the "shuffle" and "bunco" men and women, and dens of iniquity are easily found by the knowing ones. I saw at the Fair iu Nevada City in one night Tnore gambling and more devices to entice and fleece victims than in all ray life before. There weie' many ingenious and captivating tricks of which I had not even ever heard or read ; and some of them seemed so simple and easy to win on, that I am sure if I had been a betting man, I should have put my finger into it, and got burned !. The most demoralizing, yet tolerated, species of betting is at the Fair grounds on the racing. This is a big thing here. Early in the week the editor of the most fa mous paper of this coast had taken me to his stables, and showed me the finest horse on exhibition An tevolo, who comes of a race 'of fa mous fast horses. When this horse wa3 brought on the track, I was ready to bet mv opinion that he would win the race. had no mon- ey, nowever, to oacK tnat opinion. I did not have even I the inclination to back it in that way, ' and hence did not go inlo the i'pool." Had I done gfo, however, I could have won, for, a"i you see by the papers sent, thn horse beat the field, and made the f astest time ever! made by a four year old. He was driven in the race by his owner, Col. Simpson, the gentleman referred to. Referring to the paper sent you, you find a fine likeness of the Presi dent of the California State Fair, Col. J. D. Carr, who comes of good Carolina stock Methodist and Dem ocratic both hence; you know he and I soon became well acquainted. He is a-relation of the distinguished Jule Carr, of Durham, whose incli nations are identical. This picture of Col. Carr your friends will rec ognize Es a fine likeness also of our late beloved and honored citizen. Brown Farthing, in his younger days, and whose death I sincerely deplore, for he and I had been warm and true friends forj more than 30 years a longer time than T had .known or been knewn by any other citizen of Caldwell bounty. One of your best men has fallen. We might say, that he died at his post for I believe he was stricken with his fa tal illness while attending that church, of which he was so zealous and so useful a member. The Topic's announcement of his death woke in my heart both sorrow and tears on account of jhis long friend ship and devotion to me and those dear to me besides. But I commenced to tell you something about the! California State Fair. California is here in all her glory the gamblers alone-exQepted. Everything that is typical pf the State is here fromjher millionaires down to the plainest country farmer and his wife and babies. I have seen the true people of this State have seen them, as I said, "with their Sunday clothes on," and I have stu died their manners and costumes as they appear at the hotels, on ' the streets, and in the public pavilions. Thousands have come and gone from . the hotel in which I have had rooms for two weeks, and I have therefore had unusual opportunity to study these people, ! and ' especially, at meal time for if there is a bit of hog or dog in man or woman, it is pretty apt to show itself at a dinner table, especially if there is a crowdl More of this hereafter. What I have been most interested in here is in the exhibits of horses and cattle, and the fruits and vege tables of this State, though I have seen everything. The machinery is about like that which you see every where else, except in one respect. California exhibits two things I have never seen in the east. Onejs the "Wheat Harvester ' referred ' to in my first letter. This machine cuts, deans and sacks the grain all at ono operation. There are various styles on exhibition here. One of them has a steam engine mounted on wheels. The whole thing is, drawn along only by the horses twelve in number while the steam power does the work of harvesting, the horses simply pulling the weight .of the machine. , In other Harvesters the horse power does it all. They are wonderful machines, costing some times two thousand dollars and up wards. An efficient one takes 10 to 12 good horses and from 3 to 4 men to work it ; the driver and one man to work tlie lever - regulating the height of the cut, and one or two to attend to the sacks. I give you some statistics furnish ed me by the principal manufacturer of these machines Mr. Shippee the manr.facturing prince of. Stock tonthis is by the. way. the great manufacturing centre of California. As I have heietof ore written, every locality here has its specialty, and Stockton makes nearly all the ma chinery of, the State, especially its agricultural implements. . Of thi?, also more in future. U; One of the test Shippee Harvest ers has this season harvested that is, cut, cleaned and . bagged, , ready for milling, all at one operation, twenty three thousand bushels of wheat. It was 42 days at the work, using only 4 men and. 18 horses paying for extra labor $286 making the cost of the harvesting only one and one-LOUth cent per bushel. The old prices here are six cenLs for threshinqr alone. These- harvesting machines are made so that each foot of the cut ting knife or lever requires one horse that is to say, a 12 foot cutter re quires 12 hoses to pull it. The largest size made this year was a 20 foot cutter, requiring i 20 horses k pull it. This wide cutler. is used only in the light wheat ; for wheat that will yield 40 bushels per acre, cy.unot be worked well with a cutter longer than 10 feet. This is the average make. The 26 foot cutler in use this season, averaged 64 acres per day during 25 days of harvest ing. Thirty acres per day is the average when wheat will make 25 bushels per Jaee. I don't think these big machines practicable for our country, for they can operate successfully only iu grain that stands in the field until it is perfectly dead ripe, arl dried out enough to sack and grind without danger of injury. Another thing we do not see in the east, on exhibition-here, is the immense machines that are made for pumping water, used in the ruining and irrigating operations here. No other State, I . am told, has ever been able to get up such an ex hibit of fine cattle as is now on ex hibition here. I could not help wishing all the-while 1 was viewing this fine stock show, that some of our cattle men in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, could see for themselves what tine cr.ttle there are in the world ; and then make efforts to intodiice the same thing into our own country. We certainly can raise in Western N. C. us j fine cattle, and as fine horses as any oilier people. California, that has no grass at all scarcely, beats us all hollow. There is one advantage, however, that this Stale Fair of California if not the State i'celf pfvse'r.es over our people. The fine siioek exhibits here are motly those of the great millionaires of the west. Stanford for instance, while not sending any of his racing horses here, in conse quence of affliction and dea;,h in his family, sends 41 head of pure blood Holsteins matchless beauties in black and white, with short and crnmply horns. I can only give you the weights of a faw of the animals as they were placed on the scales in their entrance herei This must suf fice for this letter. Stanford's best bull, 2i years old, weighed 2,080 pounds ; Stanford's best bullj 14, years old, weighed 1, 400 pounds. Underbill's "Shatle-more"-IIolstein, just 3 years old this month, weighs 2,110 pounds, a most mag-nificent bull. Stanford's will be larger at same age. Their horns are about 6 inches long, white, with black tips, but very small and point outward. - White's best bull, Holstein, two years old, - weighs 1,G35 pounds. This Holstein stock is? celebrated for their fine milk records, not rich in quality, but abundant in quantity. A man who has a good Holstein cow and a pump or spr ing of water, can supply a whole town with "milk !" The calves of this breed sell hero at from $300 to $1,000 each. The cattle that attracted the most attention, in consequence of their rarity on this continent, were the Polled Angus and Galloways, im- orted i here from Aberdeen, Scot and. These cattle are jet black, without a single white spot, and without horns, what we call a "moo ly" east. One bull calf of the An gus family ris certainly the hand somest brute of that kind I ever beheld. He is just past a year old and weighs 1,350 pounds. The sire weighs nearly 2,000, 3 years old. They ask $1,500 for the yearling. A 6 months calf is shown weighing 750 pounds. These cattle are owned by Seth Cook. You see an account of them in the papers I send you.- The finest looking , cuttle here those showing richness and purity of blood are the Short Horn Dev on8. A 4 year old bull of this breed i is shown weighing i 2,330 pounds. ; His mother, "Bonny Bell," 6 years old, weighs 1,835. ; , J rc, . ; There are, as seen here,' two; dis tinct families of, the Devon cattle the long horn and the short horn ; they are, however, usually known as the "North Devon" and "South Devon." The Devons usually : seen in our country are the long horns, Some years ago I had an argument, with one of our Carolina cattle menj on this subject, and - he. positively affirmed there were not two varieties of Devons, I was satisfied there were. Our neighbor, BillEstes, had some of this stock years ago. They were known, however, in the Caro" linas as the "Wade Hampton Stock" of cattle. They are famous for milk, as well as beauty and richness of color, "and fine facial expression. They weigh well also. There is a 0 months calf on exhibition here a superb specimen of Bovine flesh weighing 550 pounds, a 0 months Durham heifer is shown weighing 612 pounds and a 4 mouths sucking heifer calf that weighs 481 pounds. A bull-of iho short horn Durham,' 14 months old, weighs 1,336 pounds. These short horn Durhams are" the fellows for , heavy weights. They "have them here pure white, also roans, as well as red and spot.' ed. ' There are several large' herds of the3e fine cattle on exhibition here, but I cannot enter further into de tails ; the numbers run up into hun dreds., I think there are over a hun dred Jerseys and Alderneys alone ; you can count for yourself ; I send the list of entries in papers. There is a magnificent Herreford bull im ported from New Zealand. These cattle are red, with wide liorno exactly like pictures we sometimes see. . This Herreford Bull was imported by a gentleman who has become a special friend of mine here. He is a whole-souled Southerner, and a life long Democrat. He came here, when 19 years old, in 1849. lie worked a while in the mines and quit and started a blacksmith shop. This was somewhat accidental. His father had been a blacksmith in Kentucky ; and he knew something of the trade. One day in 1849 a man offered any one eight dollars a piece to shoe some horses and everything fonnd or sixteen dollars and the smith find shoe and nails, lie knew how to do the work,, and eo went at it. In a short while he had big money. Instead of tfooliug at mines and gambling, he got him a home ; and true type-of a South erner' as he was he was going to have him an orchard. He soon had 40 acres in trees, and he told me that he averaged regularly for ten years six thousand dollars profit from his orchard ! Trees bear here at three years qld. One year he got twelve thousand dollars. Apples then sold at five cents each in the mines. I heard this gentleman make a speech, or a talk, at the big banquet given to the old pioneers here on the 9th inst., jrour humble servant being an honored, invited guest, sitting at the right hand of the president, aud responding as best lie could, when called upon by' the whole room for the toasi "our general government" I heard this gentleman say that he was one of the- few men living who had raised thirty-five- annual crops in Califor nia. His farming has always paid him. lie is an immensely wealthy man-now his chief .busiuess being, in mules and cattle his Kentucky instinct taking him into mules. He .had on exhibition at the fair five magnificent jacks the largest, 17 hands high and brought from Ken tucky here. He has on his "ranch" over 100 mares. Here are some fig ures that he gave me of his last sales. He has just sold 24 mules 3 years old at $187.50 each ; 14 mules at $182.50 each ; 16 mules at $165 each 3 years old. He sold one pair, 2 and 3 years old, for $400. He never sells mules for less than $1 50 to $1 60. Now when a man can make such sale3 as tnose, iu a country where he can Vaise mules without ever feeding them more than two or three months in the year, and then feed'ng them on wild oat hay and stubble that costs only the cutting and baling to make it, of course he makes money, and can afford to open his wine that costs $2.50 per pint bottle when he invites a friend to ljoin" him. But you ask me iranybody can do these things here. I say no,' em phatically. It is only the men who came here and bought Jand when it went begging at a dollar an acre, and kept on buying till it went up to Ive dollars as long as they had money to invest. These men can do it. But poor folks can't, and they -had bCtter remain in N. U., or else wherethan .to try to come hero and fail. Withal, I don't -believe there is a nobler set of men on earth than the old rich pioneers of Cali fornialeaving out a few niggardly thieves and men; who have grown to be villains in their prosperity. ; ; P. S. I want , to tell you some thing about the fruits and vegetables of the California State"" fair in my next letter. I have ; been trying to get an opportunity ever since I came to the State Capital to call on Gov.;, Stoneman. I have had a special in vitation to do so, through his private secretary, with whom I have an ac quaintance ; but unfortunately " for me, the Gov. has his regulations for' receiving visitors, and I am unable to 'take any other time ..than that which I can catch when I am not on official duty and I have never been ' able to make the two periods meet. As ' Gov. Stoneman was the com manding officer when the Federal army passed through Lenoir, I think' I i shall find out something fiom: what I have already heard that will be of interest to some folks in Wes tern N. C, and especially to some in, the Yadkin Valley. a M. V. M. ; J ''"' m m tm ' ' ! In Boston the richest lawyer is Sidney Bartlet't, set down as worth $12,000,000. A NORTH CAROLINA DUEL. Wi'ui'ngton Star. It was Col. Edward C.Yellowly of Greenville, Pitt county, whoise death occurred at Asheville". He was a man of character and of courage. He got his title in the war and wore it worthily. He was a lawyer and a man of excellent ' sense. Our ' first recollection of him dates back to a bout 1845 or 1846, when he and the late Ferdinand Harriss, of Green ville, hadfi, personal difficulty in the courthouse. Harriss went to the Legislature and brood'ng j)Vr the matter he decided to challenge Yel lowly. Some time afterward this wa3 done. Yellowly was ( married and declined, saying in effect that the:matter had been arranged and that he had no ; malice or ill-will towards lar-.'iss. - He was again pressed to fight and finally accep ted the challenge. ; They met at the house on the Dismal Swamp Canal just where ; the State line runs. Both behaved with the greatest pos sible coolne33. At the first fire both missed. Harriss handed his pocket-book to his second, j saying "Take this for you will hare a use for it. I see the devil in Yellowly's eye and he is going to kill me' At he second fire i Harriss fell dead, lie was dressed in a suit of white linen, and being asked why he chose that h3 replied, it is the best as it was harder to see, and if he fell it would answer for a shroud. This is the story of the duel as we re member it after the elapse) of more than thirty-seven ycrs. Col. Yel lowly was held in high eiteem by his' associates and acquaintances. He was nothing of a duellist in temperament or inclination, but wa3 a quiet, affable gentleihan. Aihev!"e Cv'zen. The above from the Wilmington Star is correct i in the main, yet it does unintentionally a certain injus tice to Col. Yellowly. We knew both the parties. Col. Yellowly was), modest but he j was bravo. Ferdi nand Harris was a man of courage, but he was almost fantastical upon the subject of honor. That was the weak point in a man observing un usually : amiability. The) cause of the quarrel was a trivial one." Yel lowly, recognizing that feature, was willing to pass: the affair over as merely a point of honor. Hi3 first fire was in the air- Fnding that Harris was notjsatisfied, at the sec ond fire he was1 in earnest, and his antagonist fell. dead. It is to . the honor of Col. Yellowly thit he took the widow and children of Mr. Har ris in charge, supported and educat ed them, and they bore j;o him the affection they might have felt for a father. He was a father-j-with the consciousness of having against his f 11 created widowhood and orphan age.' " ' 1 -''.I' - , We may be in error ; for we write long after the sad occurrance, which at the time made a deep impression upon us. r: 1 A FORMER JUDSE SHOT. Ba?t:iuore"8nn. M AbinodoxJ V a., Sept. 28. An exciting shooting affair! occurred here yesterday afternoon, in which ez-Judge George W. Ward was seri ously if; not fatally wounded. ' The shooting grew out of the following editorial sentence in the Abingdon Standard, edited f by . Judge Ward : "A man who, would go iiji to conven tion io receiye a nomination, and not receiving it then bolt its action, would steal the coppers (off a dead nigger's eyes." This was construed to reflect on Dr. Wm. White, who sought the democratic pomination for the State Senate, but) being de feated announced himselif as an in dependent candidate against Judge W. F. ;Khea the democratic nomi nee, and is being supported by the republicans. ; : Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock, according to statements of parties who claim to have- witnessed the shooting, while Judge Ward was about to enter the Colonnade Hotel he was fired upon by Dr. j White, who had been concealed in aj storeroom nearly opposite the hotel. White stepped out of the door and dis charged one barrel of a shotgun loaded with buckshot atj Ward, who fell face foremost, but, recovering on his knees, fdtew his pistil and fired three shots at a--young-1 relative of White, who was on the Opposite side of the street behind a tree. '. White in the meantime had stepped inside the store, and hearing) the firing, came out again and fired the second barrel at Ward, who fell. While he was lying on the ground, two of White's -i relatives (one) of whom Ward had already shot at arid who he thought had shot at him) walked up and fired seven shots at him, (Ward,) all of which took effect. Judge Ward was resting easy this evening, but his condition is consid ered serious. Dr. jWhiteand his two relatives were arrested and bailed in the sum of $7,000 ; each.' There is considerable , excitement ? here ; over the shooting, but no fear of further Violence is entertained;! ; Marriage may be defined as a tem porary social alliance, entered Unto for the purpose oft acquiring cheap notoriety through the medium of divorce. A tfUARTElTELYNuHlNS. Raleigh, N. C, Sept, 29. Last night four negroes, Jerry Finch, his wife, Lee Tyson and John Pattishall were lynched one mile from Pittsbo ro, Chatham county. They were taken from jail and their bodies were found suspended to a tree near the public road. This is a terrible sequel to the murder of the Finch family on the night of the 4th of last July, and of the murder of the Gunter , family near the same spot some 18 months ago. There were two of the Finch family, Edward, agea rj, ana nis sister, agea el. They were found on the morning of Sunday. July 5th, lying on the floor with their throats cut. Near them lay their servant, a negro boy ageJ 16. All had been knocked in the head with an axe. Suspicion early rested on the negro Jerry Finch, and he was arrested. It was a great task from the first to prevent the lynch ing of these parties. Iee Tyson was afterwards arrested, and some time later John Pattishall was taken on the charge of being concerned in the Gunter murder, and possibly in the Finch murder. He was said to have been seen near the spot where the Gunters were killed, and next morning was in another county and told the first news known there of the crime Detectives from Rich mond worked up the case. The verdict of the coroner's jury was long delayed, the feeling that if it was adverse to the prisoners they would be promptly lynched. The verdict, when rendered, was against the prisoners. A majority of the people appeared to' be well satisfied that these people were guilty of both murders. ' . Land of the Sky The Best 5c Cigar in town; Sold only by . E. S. Bernhardt & Co.
