I I1 ti RED MEN BANQUET. THE POLICE COURT. 1 Will, be a Swell Expds- . if inn :' ; is; co Governor Aycock and Other Distinguished Hen Will ; Speak. Plenty of Fun in Store For All. So many "big" fairs have proven Buch failure in recent years , that the public are .becoming wary. .!Ye will not bo ). surprised if our asser tion; that, this is to really be a big fair, is doubted ; - but nevertheless ; wo are giving h the ? reader but - .a poor prospectus of what the No vember fair will 4e. It is well to be acquainted with the information that) this year the business "men , will", have the ex position in charge, i The home merchants and manufacturers are going, to run this show and t)iey are going to make -of it, a "howl ing success." r - .It will not be a Pasquotank county fair but an Eastern Caro lina fair.- Every county - in this section will participate and their Taiious industries copiously rep resented. Heretofore a - nominal fee has been charged to enter ex hibits but this year exhibits will be entered free of . charge and the invitation to all is, "exhibit some thing." . The exhibiton buildings will be remodeled and enlarged to accomodate the vast increase in ex hibits, which is. expected. - , . There is going to, be several big drawing cards in the way of prom inent people. Gov. .Aycock will speak and an effort.; is being made jta get Carrie Nation here. Carrie . will be at the Raleigh fair and it is i likely that she will come direct to iliis city. It is also' probable that Theodore Roosevelt, the president who ate dinner with a negro, will 13 down here on, a hunting tour and an effort will be made to have him make a speech 'with his hunt ing suit on. That will be real picturesque, will it not? Then bal loon ascensions are to be a daily . feature. : The races will 'be the biggest t drawing cards and every effort is being exerted towards - making them interesting. The circuit of .state fairs 'closes at Raleigh the week before" the' opening of our fair and as it will be near the close of the season the trotters will glad ly accept an invitation to race The horse races- will be supple merited by other races; such as: - bicycle races; foot races, bag races and r a chase for a greased pig xes: tnats right, a pig will be shaved and given a' coat of vase line. He will be turned loosed up on the race track and as many as may can engage in the pursuit of v. the greasy porer. The one who catcnes mm will jet a prize rwo know not what. . . ; Every body will be anxious, ' to -witness wio races between an automobile and a horse and the lire engine and the Hook and Lad der truck.1 x It would take pages to enumer .-, ata everything in store for the visitor to the November fair. There . will be something for the amuse- ' - ment of all; plenty-of side shows peanuts and red lemonade and per -chance the wierd strains-of the , Streets of Cairo may be wafted to . the ears of the multitudes. There ' miss it., . Going to Petersburg. , Mr. J. GYennings and Mr.B. F. Swindell left Monday for Peters burg Va. Where they will wor in the ship; yards in that city Quite a number of our ' mechan ics "are employed there and' it is thought that others may go. An exodus of no - importance is : anti cipated however, because " of the demand for firstclass labor in this -city. . . ' - , ' " -" mm 1TI i Plenty of Cream and Cake and Gayety. .The ; Improved Order of i Red Men' gave their annual supper Fri day night. It was a hightly enjoy able event; ; as was evidenced py the many expressions of pleasure from their guests. ' A table extended the entire length of the hall was nearly twice filled with' the jolly Red Men and their guests for the Red Men are. not partial' to Btrangers and all were eager for the fray; if that ex; pression may be used, relative to the attack upon the dainty dishes served. Thecordial invitation was; eat thy fill, and there was much to be' eaten. There seemed no end to the supply 'of cream and cake and lemonade. It was a highly enjoy able event. '.T AN APHORISTIC AFRICAN. Reported That He Will Hold Revival Here. :. , . Rev. H. H. W. Smith, a ;black Sam Jones ; will . , probaly . come here in a few weeks. Smith -is a warm baby, as will be seen ;by;5the following hot shots - which he de livered, in a recent sermon: .- : : . . "I had rather gq to heaven from the poof house than to ride to hell ina golden chariot '.. - - ! : : "Do not question God as to the reasonableness of His plans -of salvation. -That would J)e irration alism. An angel dare not ; cjb it VAazy man seldom becomes a Christian." . . . , , "If lakes of fire, brimstone, tor ment, flamejs, and hell are all mere figures, or shadows, what is the real substance of -His wrath?'' "I believe there is a. hell because God says so." s- "To live in two worlds you must be born two times." "Religion of Jesus Christ is down right hQnesty." v . "If you drink- whiskey, it will make you look red-eyed like aon- uror." V "Love is the sweetest word in the English language or any other ongue."' "Jesus is the only Son that I Know 01 wno is as" ola as ms Father." . GETTING AMOVE ON. Some of. our Merchant Folks are Going to Move. ; Autumn leaves will fall upon new homos of several establishments in this city. The Steiff Piano Co. will vacate its present stand - and oc cupy th stand now occupied by Mrs. Morgan's Millinery store. As for Mrs. Morgan; she will move to the store, corner Main and Water Sts. formerly occupied by C. W. ' '!., , Harrison and Co. ' Barclif t and Willoy are going to' move to the Jones Raper stand. Their present quarters will be occupied by . the new firm of Chesson and Co. Sunday Morning Fire. j An alarm of fire, Sunday morr ing carried both departments out to Pear Tree road. It was rather early and the firemen were latein getting out- The fire was far re moved and the boys were much 'de layed in, getting " upon the scene. The building was a small frame structure in Tatems Lane and, oc cupied by a negro named Charles White. The entire structure was destroyed together with all of its furniture ; - the occupants - barely maldng their escape. - .; ' ' Behaved Nicely., r The memDars of the .colored Excelsior Ilook and Ladder Com pany who attended the ;firemens tournament at Ealeigh are to be congratulated for . their : good be havior.

Wilson swiftly separated many'defendants from their fine and costs. -It was a( red letter day for the force. The first ondocket vran Chas. F. Rich ley,charged with assaulting his wife and creating. a Aisturbancoxdthin te corporate limits ; Mrs. . Richley was the star. withness in this case and her. story was a pathetic one. In broken English she , told a tale of suffering. She said ;"my. hus band is a drinking man. He often comes home, obi so drunk. Some time he curse much bad and Sun day morning when . I . getoop , he scared- the children .and cursed me."- ' . ' 'I started to go out in der yardt, en he kicked, me one, two, free time. Can ho blame him. It won't hees fault eet ' was the stuff 1 he drink. - . When he; no drunk we live togedder alright. He is a good man but dat stuff make him devil. Mayor Wilson, af ter hearing all the evi dence, gave Richley; thirty days in The next case was that of James H. Boarfield against Henry Walker, both negroes. Bearfield is a fop; if the negro kingdom produces such things. He took the stand and rat tled off a thirty yard stump speech,: in denunication'of Walker, vWalker got one and cost. It later develop ed that "walker had sworn out a warrant against Bearfield, charg ing him with cursing and using, boisterous language. , v ; .This time Bearfield got it Just $5.00 and cost. 1 Two white men; Messers Richard son 'and Self, were then -given a hearing. They plead guilty of fighting.and were booked for $5.00 and costs, each. Yet another a waited trial, it was Bennie Knox, a little black boy. Plaintiffs said that he had been - " . running aown cnictens in tne street; mayor Wilson let him off with a reprimand. - They Fear The Aufo.nobile. Elizabeth City girls have "cut out the automobile. It seems ridiculous but nevertheless it is true. When the automobile .was first introduced in the city the girls were all, more or less, anxi ous to ride and the accomodating owners were employed, much of their tine, in treating the fair sex to short .trips via the horseless carriage.' All this hast changed now and you may walk blocks without finding a girl who is des irous of trying the novel carriage. The reason for. ') this suddtn change is easily explained In the past fow weeks the newspapers have teemed with stories of acci dents to automobiles and the list of deaths resulting from its use is. increasing v to startling numbers. Elizabeth -City girlshave become wary of thetauto and Rearing -that something terrible" night happen are shunning it Only the boys will ride. , li ; . Last June W. H.
