Henderson Bids Fob the Fair
Letter from Col. S. S. Cooper, Pres
ident, &c., We publish below a letter
from Col. S. S. Cooper, President of the
Central Agricultural Society, which
speaks for it self, '
Messrs. Stone & Uzzell :
Gentlemen: I see that there is a
probability of the State Fair being held
at some other point in the State than
Raleigh. I think it should be held at
Raleigh in preference to all other places.
Will the business men allow it to leave?
The amount they subscribe is money
loaned at a hundred per ctent. Should
it leave Raleigh, however, I think
Henderson is the most suitable place for
it, since it is a more central locality
than Goldsboro or Charlotte, and we
will raise the amount requisite to wit,
ten thousand dollars. We have splen
did Fair Grounds, very well improved,
with nearly a mile track, not inferior to
any in the South. Our buildings are
new and commodious.
Very Respectfully,
- . S.-S. Cooper,
President of the Central Agricultural
Fair, Henderson, N. C.
March 24th, 1873.
Gold Mines of the : tate. The
gold mines of this State, which were
once so highly estimated, and underwent
so sudden a decay during the California
excitement, are again drawing atten
tion, ihe sulphates in the ore were for
a long time considered most objection
able. We believe that experience has
proven that all endeavors to remove
the sulphates have resulted in the pre
cipitation of such quantities of iron with
the precious metals, as to render the
apparently most simplest process greatly
more intricate. But that is not what
we have to say. Our mines are again
attracting attention. The journals pub
lished in the aunferoas regions are lust
in their dealings With the owners, we
know, but not quite enough. We are
ready to aid thtm in driving speculators
lrom the market, and in establishing an
industry for the future. Let us all put
our shoulders to the golden wheel, and
drag old .North Carolina out of the
stygian bog in which she lias been
wandering lor lo ! these many years.
A Needed Innovation. We hope
that the new Postmaster in making his
improvements, will see to it that the
present outfit lor transporting'the mails,
as well as the agents, to and fro. be
tween the office and depot, is gotten
up in a better style than the present
dray with a starving steed and slow
movements, which takes from a quarter
to half an hour to put in appearance at
the post office from the depot after
the moment when the train ar
rives. We have no choice as to who
may be put in.
Time saved in the delivery of the
mails is money to onr business citizens ;
and the large number who sometimes
congregate and await the opening of
the same, are notwaitin on the efficient
corps of clerks inside, but on that
tine lost, which lack of oats and lots ot
mud have caused through the. shambly,
speedless Rosenaute that now walks
from the depot to the office.
Paving the Streets. The many
improvements going on in our city sug.
guest that dirt, with morter, alias mud
good Heavens preserve the Spring
pants of seranading swains that a
little fir, mingled with the other in
gredients makes a durable sidewalk ;
and further that the great geologist has
furnished U3 in abundance with another
material, even more durable than Egyp
tian straw and brick, for macadamizing
purposes; and lurther that it might be
a saving to use more stone and less dirt
on the streets of Raleigh, where that
article ot commerce is already so plen
tiful. Economy and durability however,
should be the two guiding stars in this
'improvement. We think that we
speak the desires of our people, that it
may be done ; but to give a job to any
one, and have a swindle on the city?
why, not for Joseph if he knows it 1"
Escaped Jail. Tuesday about 12
m., Ben Jones made good his escape
from the jail in this city. At the time
of the escape, Ben was doing police
duty in the kitchen yard, when, by some
means, he managed to give the iailer the
slip, and up to the present time, has not
been recaptured. Ben was incarcerated
about a month ago on the charge of
stealing some -harness from Dunn's
Livery Stable. This is the fifth escape
in the past lew months, and it really
seems that gross negligence can be with
propriety charged upon the colored
jailor, Turner Evans. These repeated
escapes should be investigated and
steps taken to put a stop to them.
Sheriff Lee has been absent some weeks,
and we hope when he returns he will
look into the matter.

Gen. Gordon visited thePresi dent,
who promised where it waseyident
that corruption had been used to secure
nominations to Federal offices in Geor

forgeries, such nominations would be
withdrawn. The indications are that
the Georgia ring will be beaten, but the
anxiety of the Senate to adjourn pre
cludes the probability of a change in
the Collector of Customs at Savannah,
and it is likely that other Federal in
cumbents will remain in office by de
fault of Senatorial action, subject, how
ever, to Presidential suspension during

There is some confusion about the
Georgia Postmasters ; Clark, of Sa

consider his confirmation, failing. The
best opinion is that Dunning for At

for Athens, are not confirmed, though
the loss or failure to call up the motion
to reconsider their confirmations may
leave them confirmed ; their names were
certainly not among the confirmations
which came to the Executive clerk's
room to day. Enquiry at half a dozen
places failed to elicit the exact facts.
The name of R. B. Hayes to be As

sons, men and women, over a year ago,
bought land and settled in Columbia
county. They lived in tents and held
property tn common. Curry . called
himself Elijah and Prophet Yahevah,
supreme in things spiritual and tempo
ral. The colony went along swimming
ly for a very brief time;: but the prophet
took to himself too many wives; Jeal
ousy and insubordination followed, and
many returned home, having to be pro
vided with free passage to the nearest
seaport, either Charleston or Savannah.
Finally, the colony became so demoral
ized and Curry so licentious that the
grand jury indicted him and his queen
paramour. Curry, robed in white linen
with his head and feet bare, in imita
tion of our Saviour, appeared before
thecourt. His queen appeared in the
same attire, with white stockings upon
her feet ahd a white bow upon her head.
Speaking in bis-own defence, he main
tained that men and: -women could live
together as man and wilewRhout co
habitating, and that by mortification
and prayer they could become perfect.
He repelled the charge of insanity, dis
playing much erudition and familiarity
with the Scriptures.
Alter speeches from the prosecution
and defence the jury retired, and after
a half an hour's absence, returned with
a verdict ot guilty, with a recommen
dation of mercy. Sentence will be de
ferred for a few waeks. :
