particular stress on the flimsy charges
preferred by his opponent, Mr. Patter

him on the stump, and utterly demol
ished that worthy's claims. The can
didacy of Mr. Patterson has only served
to put Mr. Kitchin on his mettle,' and
his efforts serve as a reminder of the
campaign in which he was pitted
against the Hon. Thomas Settle, the
most brilliant Bepublican debater in

utter defeat of the young representa
tive. -
An unknown woman from Virginia
came over last week to help J. W.

knowledge her relationship with him.
She ; is. bitter against the writer of the
Covesville letter concerning Woody's
career, which recently appeared in
print, and would like mighty well to
learn the name of the author. The
shroud of curious mystery which sur
rounds her identity is heightened by
the startling disclosures which she
threatens to make after the case is set
tled in court. Woody wanted the
newspapers to suppress any mention
of the woman's visit.
Mr. Eli J. Thacker, who until he was

Wednesday at the home of his brother.
Mr. J. T. Thacker, on Cedar street. He
came to Greensboro some weeks ago in
the hope of improving his health. Up
to a few days ago he was thought to be
doing very well and to have gained by
the change. He leaves one brother,
Mr. J. T. Thacker, of this city, and
three children , Lillie, Annie and Percy.
The deceased was a member of Calvary
Baptist church in Bichmond and also
of the Odd Fellows and Junior Order
lodges of that city. He was forty-four
years old. For the past two years of
his life: he had been slowly sinking from
the dread disease which resulted in his
death. The remains were accompanied
to Bichmond by Mr. J. T. Thacker and
the two younger children of the de
ceased. Out of Death's Jaws.

The Central Carolina Fair.
The biggest and best fair that Greens
boro has even seen and one that will,
compare favorably with any ever held
any where in the state opened under
the most favorable auspices1 yesterday.
It is difficult to pick out a feature to
begin with in writing a hurried sketch
of the affair. From the moment a per
son enters the spacious grounds there
is a bewildering array-of exhibits and
interesting attractions, such as are us
ually to be found on such occasions.
The main exhibit hall is a great bower
of beauty containing innumerable at
tractive booths, many of which contain
displays made by. the progressive mer
chants of the city. In this hall are the
exhibits made by the ladies of the land .
Art, education, needlework and cookery
are represented in lavish profusion.
Down stairs in this Wilding are ex
hibits of machinery, buggies, wagons,
harness, etc. In the new building that
was recently erected is a surprisingly
fine exhibit of farm products and fruit.
The resources of the county were never
shown to better advantage. On the
first floor of this building is a poultry
exhibit never before equaled in the
state. Nearby are the stock sheds.
More fine stock is 'being shown this
year than ever before perhaps twice
as much. Improved heavy machinery
is scattered in profusion about the east
ern sides of the grounds threshers,
traction engines, and the like.
The Midway stretches all the way
from the main exhibit hall to the
grand stand. Both sides of the ave
nue are lined with attractions of al
most every conceivable sort. Among
other interesting things to be seen on
the Midway are Bostock's trained
animals, Fairbanks' illusionary mu
seum, the Southern plantation theatre,
an ostrich show from Jacksonville, Fla.,
the original mysterious Thauma, the
Elks' country store, Lottie, the palmist
and mind reader. Walker's vaudeville,
Potter's phonograph gallery, Taka
Tama, the two-headed baby, the
marvelous scientific palmist, Nina, a
a submarine diving demonstration,
Mme. Zara, the palmist, Madam
Boiita, the palmist, Fred Burns' beauty
t4(6w, Jumbo, the largest snake in
captivity, Lennette, the flying lady, a
New York candy kitchen, snake eaters,
lunch stands, cane . racks, punching
machines, jewelry stands, nigger head
and baby racks, etc., galore, and last
but not least the original Jim West.
The Shetland pony exhibit from L.
Banks Holt's Alamance farm at Gra
ham is the mecca of all the children
and most bf the grown people on the
grounds. The nurseries and terra cotta
works have extensive exhibits. But
we can't find time or space to mention
everything on the grounds. Suffice it
to repeat that it is the best fair held in
the state this year
The racing events bid fair to excel
those of last year, when the state record
was made. More horses Bre here this
year and the speed contests start off
with a vim that gives promise fit rare
sport.
The event of yesterday was the edu
cational rally at which Governor Ay
cock and State Superintendent Joyner
made addresses. The attendance was
gratifying and the speakers were at
their best.
Oak Bidge won over Danville Mili
tary Institute in a hotly contested game
of football.
The crowds are being handled with
care and ease by the Southern Bailway
and street railway. A great number of
visitors has already reached the city.
Truly this is a gala week for the Gate
City.
Seaboard Connection in Siht.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
a clipping from the Manufacturer's
Becord announcing the definite purpose
of the Baleigh & Western Bailroad to
enter Greensboro. The Baleigh corres
pondent of the Charlotte Observer of
Saturday said:
"Tonight your correspondent had an
interesting talk with President Samuel
A. Henszey,- of thejEaleigh & Western
Bailroad. This road connects with the
Seaboard Air Line at . Colon, and
thence goes eight Iniles to Cumnock.
He says it is being pushed on to Greens
boro as fast as possible and that fifteen
miles of this extension are now graded.
The road will have a grade of not over
1 per cent. It will traverse a fine tim
ber country and there are eighteen cot
ton mills along its lines. It is easy to
see that the Seaboard Air Line, long
desirous of entering Greensboro, will
get into that town by this new route,
and it is therefore an important devel
opment." The surveying corps of this road is
now at work in southern Guilford,
heading this way. The prospects of
another road entering Greensboro are
particularly bright just now.

A PUBLIC HOSPITAL.
Steps Taken to Establish One in This City
to be Owned by a Joint Stock
Company.
Pursuant to a call made last week by
Messrs. J. Van Lindley, W. H.
Osborn, J. W. Scott, C. E. Holton and
J. A. Odell, for some of the citizens of
Greensboro to meet together to consider
the important matter of establishing a
well equipped hospital, to meet the
full demands of our city and commun
ity, a number of citizens, including
some of our leading business and
professional men, met in the hall of
the Hotel Benbow last Saturday night,
and took steps to establish a hospital
for the public, to be owned and directed
by a joint stock company of citizens.
On motion of J. W. Scott, J. A. Odell

Dr. C. L. Scott spoke of a movement

C. A. Bray presented a plan that had
been formulated by himself and an
other citizen of Greensboro for establish-y
ing a public hospital by a joint stock
company. After stating that this plan
was subject to modification -to meet the
needs of our hospital, a number spoke
in behalf of establishing such a hospital
as outlined. Bev. W. C. Newton
thought the plan about ideal. Dr. C.
D. Mclver spoke enthusiastcally in be
half of a hospital and ex pressed ""the
hope that especially our Citizens of
means would contribute liberally to
establish this much needed institution.
He insisted that the important thing
to be done was to proceed to secure the
means to establish the hospital. Dr.
Mclver was followed by a number of
others, who likewise spoke earnestly in
behalf of establishing such an institu
tion. Among the number who spoke
was J. Y. Joyner, Col. W. H. Osborn,
