Kitchin's appoint ments at Kernersville tomorrow, tne 16th, and at Tabernacle on Friday, the 17th, should not be overlooked by those who wish to hear one or tne oest speakers in the1 state Mr. Kitchin is the ablest man in" North Carolina's congressional delegation and his pub lic utterances I have unusual weight. We wish every voter in the district could hear him in the present cam paign. The joint canvass of the county can didates is not creating quite as much public interest as in former years, if the attendance is an index. Gen. Glenn, Mrj Roberson and Mr. Whitaker make the principal speeches for the Democrats, and Messrs. Ragan, Frazier and Douglas are the orators on the other side. Mr. Roberson's illness and the absence of Mr. Frazier for a few days detract from the canvass. Today the candidates! speak at McLeansville. A number from this city will attend. Hon. R. B. Glennv Bob Glenn! The name is a synonym for sound Democracy, as it is the famil iar name by which the ablest exponent of Democracy , in North Carolina is known from mountain to sea. It is a name that prompts the average Demo crat to begin yelling before he gets within three blocks of the place where the incomparable Bob is to speak. A court house full of people turned out to hear him last Wednesday evening, and for two hours they listened to one of the most comprehensive political argu ments that ever fell from the lips of a campaign speaker in thjs grand old state. Mr. Glenn came not as a candi date, but simply as a worker in behalf of the principles he believes right. He told the audience how he had recently sacrificed without reserve the fondest ambition of his life in withdrawing from the senatorial contest in favor of his townsman and friend, Hon. C.B. Wat son, who claimed the prior right to ap peal for preferment at the hands of the party. Launching into a discussion of national and state affairs he showed his wonderful grasp of public questions. Conditions as well as theories came in for , a liberal share of consideration, his utterances bearing the imprint of sou ud logic and unassailable truth; His words carried conviction, and there was not a man present who failed to realize that inspiration dwelt with the speaker. It was good to be there and hear the truthsabout our state history fearlessly portrayed by a master tongue. It was good to be there and feel and know that the proud banner of Democracy will never trail in the dust so long as God-fearing men like Bob Glenn are heard in the party councils. May his years of usefulness yet be many, Progfressiye Fair at Greensboro. The Central Carolina Fair Associa tion is still moving things along for a good fair next week Oct. 21-24. Every body that goes will come away feeling good, and they will no doubt have a profitable trip. On Tuesday, Oct. 21st, Gov. Aycock will make an educational address, and everybody should hear the Governor on his i&ue. On this same day thre will be a race between the ostrich, Oli ver W, and a race horse. This will be very exciting. Two fast race horses with records better than 2.10 will be driven by the dogs, Rex and Max. These dogs, and especially one of them, get as much excited in their race as a jockey. They have three other acts that they perform singly, such as driving a cart before the horse, etc. These are free open air at tractions. There will be a show of ostriches, pheasants, alligators, etc., from the Florida Ostrich Farm. These people had an exhibit at York, Pa., and Ha gerstown, Md., and the people at these nlaces were amazed at the wonderful feats performed by these birds. At night there will be interesting fire works. All the buildings will be open and there will be suitable attractions. The fair ground has been greatly im proved this year, the buildings being painted white, giving it quite a neat appearance. You mav be sure Greensboro will give you a good time. Almost every body has a relative or a friend living or boarding in Greensboro, and the cheap rates on account of the fair will give them a good opportunity to visit them. Tuesday will be one of the biggest days of the week, although we expect to have four big days, making Friday as interesting as the first day. The Record is authority for the state ment that a white man walked into one of the registration places in Greens boro Saturday and after satisfying him self he was in the right place, said he wanted to register. The usual ques tion under such circumstances is for the registrar to ask is if the voter wants to register under the grandfather clause, which is a permanent registra tion and under which quite a large number of neonle are reeisterine. And so it was he asked ' -Under the grand father clause?" The man looked straight at the registrar a moment, then growled "My grandfather had no claws; he was no dog,' I'll have you to understand and you can go to sheol; I'll not register and I'll notvote," and he walked out in a huff. Efforts at explaining the matter were useless; he could not make the' distinction be tween clause and claws! Registrars will beat the various polling: places on Saturdays until the 25th. On other davs they may be found at their homes or places of business. TOBACCO NOTES. terns of Interest to the! Grower, the Deal er, and the Manufacturer. MARKET REPORT.
