That’s What Made the Agri
cultural Society Warm,
FAKIRS AND BONDHOLDERS
LENGTHILY DISCUSSED AT LAST
NIGHT’S SESSION.
/
ALL OFFICERSj UNANIMOUSLY ELEC’ED
Mr. Charles McNamee, Executive of the Van
derbilt Estate, Elected President Amid
Applause. Mr. J. E. Pogue and
Capt. Denson Re-elected.
The annual meeting of the State Agri
cultural Society in commons hall last
night developed some matters of a rath
er engaging nature in coiwicction with
the management of the society. It trans
pired that members held widely dissimi
lar views and they expressed them with
a frankness and force worthy of Cin
ehinatus of old. The two points about
which the talk eddied fi'om 8:30 to il
o'doek were:
1. A plan for the re-organization of the
society.
2. The kind of shows that shall be ad
mitted to the Fair grounds and the re
sponsibility for the failure of midway
•Hms year.
As is well known the latter has been
for several years an annually recurring
contention and the acerbity of inter
changes last night showed that the dif
ferences of opinion are sharp and decid
ed.
•i-'il'B IMPATIENT BONDHOLDERS.
President R. H. Battle after calling
the society to order suggested that some
new life memberships lx* sold in order
to perpetuate the society. He also ad
vised that the Executive comnwUee bo
authorized to rewrite the original by
laws and publish them in the proceed
ings of the society.
■Col. J. S. Cunningham moved that this
be done.
Mr. John Nichols took the floor and
said that before the motion was put In*
wished to all the attention of tin* society
to a matter that might cause some sur
prise. For years he said alsmt 20 men
had carried the society on their shoulders
ami had put up the money for it.
As secretary of the Ixmdholders organ
ization lie was authorized to say there
was danger of a sale of the society's
(property; that tin* interest was in ar
rears and if relief was not gi vent the
bondholders wojrid take steps to get it.
Men who had never paid a dollar to
the stock ant! who were not even life
members had come in and assumed to
run the affairs of the society and, he
declared with emphasis, the men who
carried the responsibility were getting
tired of it. He suggested that a com
mittee be appointed to devise a plan to
issue and sell stock and so redeem the
bonds.
Col. Cunningham: “How many bonds
are outstanding and what are they
worth ?”
Mr. Nichols: ‘The amount is $2(5.-
550, I don't know wliat they are worth.”
Col Cunningham: “{ think they are
worth aboqt 30 cents on the dollar: if 1
am right will take them all at that.”
Tlie society applauded Mr. Battle said
the price ranged from 25 to 37. He
thought the interest could Ik* paid this
year, but approved of the pkwi to re
organize.
Mr. Nichols said that if Col. Cunning
ham would make an offer for the Ikmuls
he would submit it to the holders.
Capt. Denson explained that the debt
had (been originally incurred by the ex
penditure of SOO,OOO for buildings and
grounds for which sum 31 men became
responsible. Finally IS men had paid
the debt. He was of the number, but
had no desire to force a sale of the prop
erty; if the fair was a success he did
not care whether lie got a dollar. He
believed those who were so impatient
were people who had bought the Isolds
at a discount.
of the society being pushed and advocat
ed the issue of $25,000 of new bonds j
to refund the debt. A reorganization (
committee shdltld be appointed. j
The society did not lean toward this j
proposition and seemed inclined to the ,
opinion that the impatient bondholders <
wordd think the occasion a suitable one
to put up the price of the bonds.
Mr. F. H. Buslnc took the floor and
sarcastically observed that it might be :
cheaper for the society to allow the
bondholders to proceed to sell and then
buy the grounds in or purchase a new
site. The bonds had been bought at 30
or 40 and the purchasers were after a
bargain.
Mr. Nichols moved to appoint a re-or
ganization committee of live, but
was shy of a second to j
bis motion.
Mr. N. B. Broughton moved that a
committee be appointed to receive any
proposition the* bondholders care to
make.
This displeased Mr. Nichols. He said
widows ami minors who could not
make u proposition hail some of the
bonds. If the words “receive a propo
sition” were stricken out he would vote
for the motion. The bondholders might
not make any proposition.
Mr. Broughton: “It seems the atti
tude of the Isnidholders has changed
somewhat. We thought they were anx
ious for a settlement.” (Laughter),
Mr. Nichols moved as a substitute for
Mr. Broughton’s motion that a commit
tee be appointed to consider the whole i
matter. He said that SIB,OOO of the
bonds were in the hands of ]M‘ople who
paid 10<) cents in tin* dollar for them.
Mr. Nichols: Strike out the words
“receive a proposition” and I'll vote for
the motion,”
Mr. Broughton: “I decline to do so.”
Mr. Nichols: “Then I object.”
There ensued a lively tilt between Mr.
Nichols and Mr. F. 11. Bawbee, after
which the former moved to strike out. .
the objectionable words. His motion *
was last and Mr. Broughton’s motion
carried by « big majority. A committee
of five will he appointed under it to
consider any proposition the bondholders
may make.
THE MATTER OF FAKIRS.
President Battle called 0)1. Cunning
ham to the chair and moved that the
society go into'the election of officers.
Mr. .1. S. VY > line said that before any
body was elected the management of
the next Fair should he taken up. A
course had been followed that had
given the Fair a black-eye. Floral Hall
was all right hut when you went to mid
ay the disappointment began. Mr. John
T. Pullen, one of the l>est men in Ral
eigh had said the Fair was not as good
as last year. lie believed it was be
cause there was such a jioor midway.
(Mr. Broughton: “That’s a slander.”)
Thousands of people yesterday had ex
pressed tneir disiqipointinent because
the side-shows had been shut out. lie
was one of tin* first to oppose gambling,
but believed in plenty of legitimate
amusements. It whs true the people
wore sometimes humbugged hut if
they were not they felt the
Fair was a failure. (Laughter). After
the management of the next Fair was
decided on then elect officers and let
the secretary run it without too much
dictation from the executive committee.
Mr. Broughton said he thought Mr.
Wynne was out of order, hut as his
remarks had been a personal reflection
he would reply.
Mr. Wynne: “I made no reflection.”
Mr. Broughton: “You referred to the
committee and 1 have been published
as one of the committee.” He declared
that he, Mr. Ashley and Mr. Cowper
had no choice in the matter of shows as
the whole was settled by the instruc
tions published in the premium list. The
committee had made the rounds of the
shows.had found “gambling devices and
swindling holes." They had condemned
them and he was prepared to stand by
it. When no action was taken. « magis
trate had been sent for. the men ar
rested and convicted. The association
could not afford to say that a good Fair
could not he held without shows. The
lions were not there, some of the mon
keys were not there, the “hoochee
couehee” woman was not there, but
there were other fairs.
Mr. Wynne interrupted to say that he
had intended no reflection, and asked
if the secretary had not been instructed
to telegraph the fakirs at Hagerstown
not to come.
Mr. Broughton replied that he knew
nothing of such a course.
Mr. Nichols said that he had advised
that the shows be allowed to come.
Mr. Brougton: “I have run off no
show that, should not have been run off.”
t’apt. Denson: "That is a mistake.”
Mr. Broughton: “Name a legitimate
show I have kept away.”
Capt. Denson: “We had the prospect
of some $2,000 for privileges from these
shows. That would have paid some of
the indebtedness we’ve been talking
about. Wo had much correspondence
with these peoples but somehow no con
tracts were made. We found out finally
that there is a. strong follow feeling
among these people. The proprietor of
the Tom Thumb railway. 1 reckon that
is moral, it’s narrow enough any way
(laughter). teld me that these people
were aggrieved at the treatment accord
ed them and were not coming, though,
many of them were harmless enough.
I am opjxised to immoral shows as
strongly as anybody; hut we are not run
ning the Fair as a State reformatory,
we are trying to pay our debts. And 1
observe that these people who keep the
fakirs away an l not helping irs to pay
them. 1 think Mr. Nichols is right; the
people came here to enjoy themselves
and they are not coming if there are
no amusements. Many ladies in this
city have told me that it was a mistake
that these shows were kept away.”
Capt. Denson’s speech created some
thing of a sensation and was applauded.
Mr. Broughton denied! that his com
mittee had interfered with any show
that was legitimate. "If,” he declared,
“the association can not have a fair
without the people beiug swindled then
the gates of the ground should be closed.
(Applause). To forbid gambling in the
rules and then allow it is an outrage.
We are not in the business to make
money for anybody. I am a humble
member of the society, but you can’t
vote me out, run me out, talk me out or
write me out, and whale I am in I shall
oppose these immoral performances.”
Mr. Battle said he had appointed tin*
committee in question and heartily ap
proved of its action. When people were
invited to the fair they should not find
in the grounds people who would cheat
and swindle them. The purpose of the
fair was to improve agriculture and the
people who wanted the shows in ques
tion had a perverted taste. There were
things more important than the financial
affairs of any institution—one was the
morsals off our youth. If the.e was a
combination between the menageries and
gamblers let them all go. As u law abid
ing citizen he approved of shutting <***
everything contrary to the laws of the
State.
No action on the matter w r as taken.
(>F FI CEItS ELECTED.
Mr. Battle renewed his motion to go
into the election, of officers. It pre
vailed and he nominated Mr. Charles
McNamee, of Buncombe.
Mr. Benehan seconding the
nomination, said that when in 1896 he
was elected president of the society and
found it necessary to get financial hack
ing he had appealed to Mr. McNamee
and Mr. Vanderbilt. They gave it readi
ly and generous.
Mr. F. H. Bus bee also seconded the
nomination in a happy speech in which
lie declared that Mr. McNamee had
thoroughly identified himself with the
interests of the State and his election
would lie eminently wise and proper.
Mr. McNamee was unanimously elect
ed by a viva voce vote. In accepting
he said that he appreciated the honor
none the less; that he was the first man,
not native born, who had filled the i*>si
tion. He would perform the duties to
the best of his ability and stood ready
at all times to do till in his power for
his adopted State. He was vigorously
applauded.
Mr. McNamee is the executive of the
Biltmore estate, was formerly a success
ful lawyer and is a man of line judg
ment. and unusually pleasant address.
Undoubtedly no better selection could
have been made and it is a matter of
congratulation that Mr. McNamee con
sented to act. That he has done so is
of itself a guarantee that the State has
never seen a better fair than that of
next year will lx*, lie has always taken
great interest in the fair and has contrib
uted greatly to its success, this year par
/ticulaxly when the Biltmore exhibits

tion* and ndenurn tiou.
All the vice presidents were re-elected,
as has been the custom heretofore,
secretary by acclamation members tak
secrotnry by acclamation members tak
ing the occasion to speak in highly appre
ciative terms of his work this year. He
) promised to take the matter under ad
visement and accept it possible.
Capt. C. B. Denson was unarmnously
'reflected treasurer, a deserved muni
tion of his indefatigable work for the
success of the fair.
The society then adjourned to meet
next yett-r.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Ella 11. Troy, wife of Rev. Jno.
C. Troy, of the Western North Carolina
Conference, died at her home in Jones
boro, N. C., on Monday, October lfith,
1891). She had been ill about two weeks
and during that time had suffered in
tense pain. The disease pressed her so
hard that a surgical operation was re
sorted to, but she did not rally, and
soon passed into the spirit land.
She leaves a husband and one daugh
ter, little Louise.
One Avho knew her best said that in
patience, gentleness, and sweetness of
disposition, she surpassed any he knew,
and this is the verdict of all who knew
her. She had lived in Jonesboro only
almut two years, hut so sunny, and lov
ing and attractive a nature had she, that
in that time she hail ingratiated herself
so deeply into the life and love of the
!>eople here that during the funeral
services there was scarcely a dry eye
in the house. She was a model for
others to go by—pure, unselfish and true
hearted —a model wife, mother and
friend. We miss her sorely. We long
for her kindly smile and words of cheer.
During the past five years her hus
band has been an invalid, and to her
qualities as a good and true wife, she
added those of an ever watchful and un
tiring nurse. Her husband says during
the fourteen years of their married life,
not a single word of complaint or mur
mur escaped her lips. She was his
chief influence for good.
Just before she was placed on the
operating tablet, she said to her weeping
daughter, * Oh. Louise, don’t cry; they
won’t hurt me.” Her unselfishness was
the most prominent trait of her charac
ter. She was loved by all who knew
her. Those who knew her best loved
her most.
Sleep on, tired one. and take thy re?t.
In some brighter and happier day we
shall meet again.
“There is no death. An angel form
Walks o’er the earth with silent tread,
He hears our liest loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
i
And when he sees a smile so bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
lie bears it to that World of Light,
To dwell in Paradise.” %

At Cincinnati the business sessions of
the Jubile Missionary Convention of

THE AGRICULTURAL BOARD.
An Exhibit at the Paris Exposition--
Draining Lowlands.
At yesterday’s session of the agricul
tural board an address was made by Mr.
M. V. Richards, industrial agent of the
Southern Railway, discussing the advan
tages to come to the State from an ex
hibit at the Paris Exposition next year,
lie considered this a most important tin
dertaing, he said, and lie was delighted
to know that the State would he rep
resented in this great world’s show. lie
offered to co-operate with the board in
the matter, and said the Southern Rail
way would be glad to assist in it hy
placing at the board’s disposal any ex
hibits or pictures it might have.
Mr. Richards was followed by Prof.
Holmes, who took up the question of
draining the lowlands of the Koiuoke.
He offered to the hoard the co-operation
of the geological survey in making the
investigations along this line ordered by
the last Legislature.
The hoard accepted the offer and ap
propriated s.>oo to assist in the work,
with the understanding that all reports
shall come to it to be transmitted to the
next General Assembly, ns directed by
law.
The hoard then adjourned till 5 o’el
in order to attend the State Fair. At 5
o clock no quorum was present and in*
meeting was held. The board will meet
again this morning.
HERE IS “HOT STUFF.”
What Ice Company’s Attorneys Say of
the Witness Who Made Affidavits.
Messrs. AnniisteUd Jones and James
11. Pou of counsel for plaintiff in the
now famous ease of the Hygienic Plate
lee Factofy vs. The Raleigh and Au
gusta Air Line speaking yesterday rela
tive to tlie newly discovered evidence
published in yesterday News and Obser
ver. said:
“It is the same old dodge. The rail
road lias hired a negro detective, and
the negro detective has found two of
the meanest negroes in Wake county to
swear for the railroad. One rtf these
negroes has lwon convicted of obtaining
money under false pretense, lie fled the
State, returned and was again: in court
for larceny and was convicted. He has
been up for a number of minor offenses.
“The otiier one is a regular habitue otf
the criminal courts and has been tried for
all sorts of offences. These two a ire the
star witnesses for the railroad, and they
are professional criminals. The man
whom they charge with firing the house
is dead. They can. lit* on him safely.
The negro detective figured in a trial
at W ilson last June. There lie worked
up a case against another negro for
arson. There, as here, he had his "con
fession.” There, as here, the detective
swore strong for his employers. Them,
as here, no one believed a word he
swore to, and a jury made up from the
best white men of Wilson, after only a
few minutes deliberation acquitted tin*
defendant.
"Such is the showing the railroads
now make. It seems mighty poor policy
to invest in such evidence.
“The Messrs. Boyer, the owners of the
ice factory are among the best men of
Charleston, K. as is proven by affida
vits from bankers and business men of
Charleston.”
BROADFOOT-MacRAE.
A Raleigh Man Weds One of Fayette
ville’s Charming Women.
The Fayetteville Observer prints the
following account of the Broadfoot-
Mucltae wedding there Wednesday.
St. John’s Episcopal church was the
scene today of one of the most beauti
ful noon weddings that has taken place
in Fayetteville. The charming old
church, with lovely chancel and altar
decorations, was early filled with a
fashionable congregation of friends of
the bride and groom to witness the mar
riage of Mr. Samuel Hinsdale Macßae
to Miss May Marceliue Broad foot.
The bride, wearing a lovely white
satin dress and carrying a bunch of
white roses, entered the church on the
arm of her uncle, Major J. B. Brbail
feet, preceded by Miss Kate Broadfoot,
the maid of honor, in pink silk with
pink roses, and the ushers, Messrs. W.
F. Leak and Cameron Macßae.
Awaiting them at the chancel was
the groom and liis best man and broth
er, Mr. Jas. C. Macßae, Jr., who had
entered from the vestry room. The
ceremony was impressively performed
by Rev. William Wetmore, a great
uncle of both bride and groom, assisted
by the pastor, Rev. I. W. Hughes.
The following music was exquisitely
rendered on the organ by "Miss Georgie
Worth:
Belgian March, Marche aux Flam
beaux, Marche de Girondina and Vien
na March—B. Clark.
Wedding Chorus—Lohengrin.
Traumerie—Shumunn.
Wedding March —Midsummer Nights
D re a t u —M en d lesoh n.
After the ceremony the bride was
driven home, where she exchanged her
wedding dress for a most becoming
black traveling costume, the young
couple then repairing ito the Atlantic
■Coast Line station, accompanied by a
number of their close friends, who, there
hid them. God speed on their journey in
the good old fashioned way.
Mr. Macßae, who is a son of Judge
Jas. C. Macßae, is one of Fayetteville’s
most talented young lawyers, was Regi
mental Adjutant of the Second North
Carolina regiment during the war with
Spain and is a Register of Bankruptcy.
His bride is a: young lady of rare
charms and accomplishments, and is
one of Fayetteville's boasted beauties.
Numerous and handsome presents,
not alone from Fayetteville, hut from,
many parts of the United States, in
cluding rare gifts from Mr. and Mrs.
Marburg, of Baltimore, and Mrs. W.
W. Fuller, of New York, attest to the
wide popularity of the fortunate and
happy young couple. Greatly admired
was a silver service of pitcher and gole
Icis, the gifts of Mrs. Hinsdale, mother
of the bride, a cherished heirloom, pre
sented many years ago by the hunk of
Fayetteville to tin* late Thomas Wad
dill, in recognition of his effort in sav
ing valuable projierty of the bank in a
steamboat explosion on .the Cain* Fear
river.
The Graded School, of which Miss
Broadfoot was one of tin* faculty up to
a few weeks ago, gave an hour’s re
cess, in order that the pupils might at
tend the marriage, and the great number
of children present, filling Ixffli galleries,
was wn interesting feature of the cere
mony.

A meeting of the tobacco growers of
the State was held in the hall of the
House of Representatives yesterday
afternoon. Mr. FT. J. Ragsdale was

During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay county, W. Va.,
struck his leg agaiust a cake of ice
iu such a manner as to bruise it Se
verely. It became very much swollen
and pained him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons of whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain’s
cam isalm. This brought almost a
complete cure in a week’s time and
he believes that had he not used this
remedy his leg would have had to be
amputated. Pain Balm Is unequaled

GOOD ADVICE.
Don’t start out. in the morning for
business without taking your topcoat
along. The evenings are chilly now and
you need one. Will make you a perfect
tilting light overcoat iu Venetian or
Covert cloth for $20.00 or up to $05.00.
Your fall suit of, course will never
have the dash of style, and of well bred
and cultivated taste, unless I put the
stamp of first-class tailoring on it for
you.
