A strong-kneed partisan is the fellow at the pie-counter, or one who has been given the party keys for a night's visit to the kitchen. With an annual income of $70,000 to $75,000 isn't it remark able that Salisbury should have a floating indebtedness of $50,000? Can anthing spaak in louder terms of condemnation of Boyden's ex travagent and incompetent ad ministrations?Can anything show better cause why the citizens of Salisbury should oppose the pres ent bond issue? -3 We are indebted to the Central Carolina Fair Ass ociation, through its secretary, Garland Daniel, for an invitation to attend the fair and a card to the grand stand to hear the address of Will iam Jennings Bran, Wednesday, October 16th, 1907. This fair is always worth visiting, but this year it is to be bigger and better than ever. Its dates are October 15-18. It is said that, at a recent meet ing in Greensboro, the Republican factions have decided to be at peace in the future, at least uutil after the elections of 1908, and that efforts will be made to cap ture all the weak-kneed, and we suppose the strong-kneed also. Democrats possible. We are not much on politics, but this move at least, looks sensible and is in considerable contrast with the con temptaoie tyranny and narrow bigotry existing among those who temporarily have in hands the reigns of the grand old Democracy.

But Charlotte thrives just the same and that without the revenue and the whiskey men's money to build her hospitals, fairs and other institutions. But there is some thing more to be desired than all i. l 1 t f.. iiiiost) man unanotte Has and, we suppose, appreciates; that is she is free to manage her own affairB as she sees fit without let, hin drance or dictation by a whiskey ring.

SWINCjA COMPUTE exhibit. Jamestown Tercentennial Expo-; Splendid Showing of North Caro sition Complete In All Details. Una at Jamestown Exposition. Beautiful colonial city. . forestry, fish and game. A Vrltablo Dreamland to the Visitor. In the Matter of Interesting features Jamestown Leads All Other j Exposi tions Army and Navy Display. Never before In the history of the country has there been held an expo sition with so many attractive features as the Jamestown Tercentennial, now in full swing on the historic waters of Hampton Roads. The Tercentennial is now complete in all of Its details and presents to the visitor a veritable dreamland. . The Immense exhibit pal aces, state and government buildings, all of a permanent or semipermanent construction, set off with the most lux uriant trees and foliage, give to this exposition an appearance distinct from all of its predecessors. Within an hour's ride by either boat or train are such places as Yorktown, where Cornwallls surrendered ! to the Continental army, and Jamestown is land, the "cradle of America," where now remain only the old ruins of the first church in America. Just across the waters of Hampton Roads are locat ed Old Point Comfort and Fort Mon roe, the strongest and most impor tant artillery station on the Atlantic coast, whose grim walls and winding moat make it one of the most pictur esque spots In the country. These and many other places of historic interest give an appropriate setting to the Jamestown exposition, which commem orates the three hundredth anniversary of th flrsr nArmT.Pnt KnHsh sneak- ! ing settlement' In America, the most I Draped ln festoons between the col lmportant event In the history of mod- nmns ,n tte central booth are cords of ern times gilded and colored peanuts in unique Owing to the fact that the James- i town Tercentennial is the first celebra-! tlon ever held on deep water In this country, there has been going on al most continually a grand naval spec tacle of a kind such as America has never seen before. The entire "North Atlantic fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, squad ron by squadron, will rendezvous in Hampton Roads from time to time, giving the visitor to the exposition ample opportunity to see the strongest fleet of battleships in the world. There will at all times during the summer be at least six men-of-war ln the roads. The army as well as the navy is well represented at the Tercentennial, and daily parades by crack regiments of United States troops are to be seen on Lee's Parade, one of the largest and best equipped drill plains in the coun try. Stationed at the exposition grounds at present are the entire Twenty-third regiment of United States infantry, the Second squadron of the Twelfth Unit ed States cavalry and D battery of the Third field artillery. Several regi ments of the national guard of vari ous states, besides numerous military and semimilitary organizations, are en camped at the exposition from time to time. Each of these military organiza tions brings Its own band, which, to gether with the exposition orchestras and bands, gives a continual and varied musical programme. The government exhibits, housed In four handsome structures on the water front of the exposition, comprise one of the most complete and compre hensive displays of the work of the various departments of the government ever assembled. The Individual states have also come forward at this exposi tion with their heartiest support and co-operation, and twenty of them have erected buildings to represent them at the Tercentennial, while practically every state is represented in exhibits historical, educational or Industrial. These state buildings are located on Willoughby Boulevard, a grand avenue paralleling the water front, and from the broad piazzas of the state struc tures visitors may rest and view the magnificent and historical harbor whereon the vessels of the world might rest at anchor. In the immediate front appear the great white men-of-war of our own and ofttimes a foreign na tion's, and yachts, sloops, schooners and merchant vessels of every kind. Beyond are the frowning walls of Fort Monroe and the beautiful so cial retreat of the coast, Old Point Comfort To the left may be seen the noted industrial school at1 Hampton, and still farther up the roads, toward where the mighty James mingles Its waters with the salt tide of the sea, may be seen the city of Newport News, with the greatest shipyards ln the world. To the right appears the broad ening channel from roads to bay and from bay to broad and mighty At lantic out between the capes of Charles and Henry. The illumination at night is a scene ln itself worthy a Journey of a thou sand miles to witness, and, with all the outlines of the buildings aglow, the paths of the Canoe Trail and Lov ers' Lane twinkling with the myriads of little lights, the War Path a blaze of electricity, the many powerful searchlights playing the heavens with their mysterious messages and fifty miles of shore lines dotted with the lights of a dozen cities and. nestling towns, what spectacle more sublime or beautiful could be imagined? On the amusement section of the ex position, called the War Path, there is every conceivable amusement and diversion, where the visitor to the ex position, after a long day of sightsee ing, can relax and. let himself drift with the pleasure seeking from one amusement to the next on this "Great White Way," where the lights ever twinkle and the noise of the oriental music Is ever In the air. Jamestown's Accessibility. Within a twenty-four hour radius of the exposition there live some 40,000, 000 people, or nearly half the popula tion of the entire United States. Eight or ten railroads and as many steam ship lines center in Norfolk and New port News, .making it possible to bring all of these people to the exposition during the period of the celebration, and all who enter the gates of the Co lonial City by the Sea will find enter tainment In the highest sense of the .word. Odd 8peclmena on View In These 8eo tions -White Possum and Albino Raoooon Agricultural Pyramid With Its Novel Peanut Umbrella. The North Carolina exhibit in the States' Exblhit Palace at the James town exposition is second to none In the building. It is compact and ex haustive and thoroughly exploits the resources of the state, natural and manufactured. Covering something over 6,000-square feet of floor space in the northwest corner of the building, Just to the left of the main entrance, this exhibit is In the form of the capi tal letter "L," with a square within it This square contains about 3,000 square feet of floor space and displays the exhibits of agriculture, forestry, fish and game. That space contained in the "L" accommodates the exhibits of like character in the building. The collective assemblage cost $15,000, twice as much being spent in the square as in the side booths. The state colorsblue, red and white are prominently displayed In the dec orations, and yet the prevailing scheme is cream and gold. Around the several sections of the exhibit Is a railing of polished brass. The posts supporting this rail are finished In cream and gold. On- the top of each is -a flagstaff with a golden ball. The entrances and there are some eight Or ten of them are flanked wltfil tall cream white columns with Ionic capitals, surmounted ty Mea eagles with wings outspread artistic decorations, aided by nu- merous aesigns 01 grain ana rorage plants. On account of its size and unusual appearance the decorated building ln the central exhibit catches your at tention almost Immediately. On the sides and roof of this little house Is shown in quaint designs and displays nearly every principal agricultural product of North Carolina. The roof is made of cornshucks, the sides of wheat, tobacco, grasses, cornstalks, cotton and clipped grain. Among the most attractive designs on the house are the monogram of the state and the seal of the department of agriculture. The most artistic display in the booth and one that will not fail to call forth admiration Is an agricultural pyramid, built in four sections and exhibiting ln tubes and jars all the grain products of the state. Covering this, drooping from the top, is a hanging umbrella of artificially colored peanuts, blending perfectly with the brown and yeflow grain and with the red background with which the very picturesque pyra mid is finished. In the exhibit of agriculture there are unusually fine samples of all North Carolina grains and grasses ln the sheaf or bundles. While the whole state of North Carolina is represented by the fine exhibits of the department of agriculture, a great many of the finest were sent from the plantation of W. H. Robins, near Raleigh, Mr. Rob Ins himself arranging them In the Though a by no means ancient sci ence, forestry finds many of its ardent students In North Carolina, and the exhibits in this department are sur passed by none of like nature at the exposition. Among the exhibits of the depart ment of fish and game are several of the most strange and unique at the entire exposition. The visitor will see a possum with creamy white hair and beautiful pink eyes and an albino squirrel as white as cotton. In the same case with these freaks he will see a yellow raccoon so nearly approaching albinoism as to be al most a true representative of the type. These three specimens are from the North Carolina state museum, where for the last several years they have attracted great attention and in terest. They were all killed ln the state, the possum having been caught near Raleigh, the raccoon near Wil mington and the squirrel in Craven county. men mere are a number or game and fur bearing animals, together with a large assortment of skins. There is a case full of wild ducks twenty-three varieties, two of each. as a rule and six or eight wild geese They were collected by H. H. Brimley, curator of the North Carolina muse- um, many specimens having been pre pared especially for exhibit; at the exposition. With the ducks is shown a hybrid duck, a cross between a mal lard and black duck. This was shot some time ago ln North Carolina and is one of the few specimens of hy brid ducks in existence. The fishing interests of the state are represented by a number of large colored reproductions of the most im portant fish of North Carolina waters and a full assortment of crabs, clams, oysters, turtles, shrimps, etc. Knives!
