THE NEGRO FAIR. The snnual State Fair of the colored people was held last week at Raleigh, and was quite a suc cess in every particular. They were favored with good weather and the attendance was the larg est ever known. The exhibits were more numerous and of a better quality than at any previ ous fair, and showed a very gratifyinj? progress of the colored race in all lines of human activ ity. One colored farmer from Wake county had the largest ex hibit ever before made by any person, the number of hi 3 en tries being nearly 500. So far as we know North" Car olina is the only State that has a State Fair every year for its col ored population. This is credit able to both races and is an il lustration of the kindly feeling existing in this State between the two races. It has frequent ly been asserted bv colored sneakers that there is a more kindly feeling in this State be tween the two races than in any other, and this we beleve is true. The orator at this fair was Dr. 3. E. Sheppard, the president of the National Religious Training School at Durham, and we wish bis address could be read by every colored person in the State, It was full of good advice tha should be heeded. We copy from it the following extracts: The American negro, as a workman, receives better treat uient and fairer wacres than any similar elass of workmen in any country in the world. "On every hand there are op portunities for work, and I have yet to find in the South where in any field of manual labor the light to work has been denied the black man. You will not find this true in the North. There the labor unions are in arms against the black man entering into competition with the for eigner and with the American white laborer, and hence the field for work is very limited. In the South the black contract or the black carpenter, the black brick mason, the black carriage driver, barber, cook, house ser vant, school teacher and in every walk of life finds opportunity for work. 'I have never lost the oppor tunity to make this statement, that the Southern white man is the best friend to the negro. The negro needs to preserve this friendship. He needs the sup port, sympathy and love which this friendship will bring. 1 have yet to find the first negro in business or otherwise who has not had the support and advice of some white friend or friends. They never fail to Rive it "We need to fall in with the spirit of the South, with the spirit of progress, with the spir it of God, and keep on moving, and if we do this, we can always sing. There is no land like our land, and no flag like our's.' " election yesterday was some what out of the ordinary. It was an election to decide what to do about the market house, and three propositions were voted on, a3 follows: the United States in 1864, when he was seventeen years old and oined the Union army as a pri vate. After the war he served as a waiter in a cafe at St. Louis for awhile, but soon became con nected with a German newspa per there and gradually rose to the position of its chief editor. n 1883 he bought the New York World and became a national fig ure in politics and journalism, and was a member of the 49th Congress. At the time of his death Mr. Pulitzer was the proprietor ol two of the most influential news papers in the United States, The New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispafch, and al though blind for many yeare he continued in control of both pa pers, dictating their policies, and increasing their circulation. He had become a millionaire and was very liberal with his wealth. among otner gilts one naving been a million dollars to establish a College of .Journalism at Co lumbia University in New York. An Old Mule. From the Henderson Gold Leaf. Mr. John Harris, a well known farmer living only a few milrs from this place, owns a mule that is forty-three years old. Mr. Harris, when a young man, be- 1. For remodeling the present Van farmiW with this mule. I which always proved to be a verv useful and faithful animal. A ew years ago Mr. Harris decid ed that on account of the mule's ong and faithful service he should be set entirely free from work and be placed on the pen sion list" for the rest of his days. So Mr. Harris built him a nice stall off to Mmself, which opens into a good pasture, and the mule has since had perfect freedom to come and go at will- He is re quired to do no work whatever, and is as well cared for as any other animal on the place, re ceiving the same attention that he did in his best work days. He is perfectly fat and slick. building. 2. For its removal. 3. For its sale. Not much interest seems to have been taken in this election, for only about one-half of the qualified voters of. the city regis tered for it, and there was much diversity of opinion as to what should be done. Last year an election was held and by a large majority the voters favored a sale of the old building and the erection of a new one, but a new one wa3 not erected because of the controversy as to its location. At the election yesterday a large majority voted in favor of remodeling the old market house, which is another illustration of the fickleness of public opinion and how people will change their minds The fairs held in this State this autumn have been fortunate and favored in having such fine weather, which contributed no little to their success. There have been more fairs this season than ever before and rain did not interfere with any of them. There was a light rain on the first day of the Alamance and Guilford county fairs, but it did not interfere to any extent with their success or the enjoyment of them. This exemDtion from Tain for all the fairs is somewhat remarkable, and we hope that the same good luck may favor them next year. Smallpox is to be more care fully guarded against during the coming winter than ever before because the last Legislature re moved all quarantine restrictions for the prevention of its spread. This loathsome disease is more prevalent during cold weather than warm weather, and there fore precautions should now be taken against catching it, and the doctors assert that vaccina tijn is a sure preventive- This being true, of course it is the part of wisdom, and even of common sense, for everybody to be vaccinated without delay who has not been vaccinated in re cent years. This precaution of vaccination is especially urged upon the col ored people, among whom small pox prevails more than among our white population. Nearly all the cases that have been i n this county in recent years were caused by colored people bring ing it from Durham and othe r cities. Now, that smallpox ca ses will not be quarantined, the spread of the disease may be ex pected to increase and vaccina tion ought to be made compul sory. The white people of this State have done, and are doing, much more for the education of the colored children than they are given credit for. A statement recently made by our State De partment of Education shows that for every dollar the negroes m 1 ii ihe revolution or reDeinon in China seriously affects the cot 1 v . ton industry, and it may sur prise many of our cotton farm ers to learn that they are materi ally interested in that war. Many of the Southern factories manu facture cotton goods exclusively for the Chinese trade and that trade is very materially affected by the war in China. It is said that at least thirty factories in South Carolina alone depend upon the Chinese trade, which is now almost all cut off by the war. Of course that would le sen to some extent the demand for the raw cotton, and the sup- plv being unusually large and the demand being thus restricted the price of the raw material is consequently decreased. Two deputy marshals were dis missed from service last week by Judge Connor at the term of the Federal court at New Bern be cause they were drunk and dis orderly on the railroad train while in charge of some prison ers. Their dismissal was emi nently right and proper, and they ought also to have been put in jail with their prisoners. Any officer (from a judge down to a policeman) who gets drunk while on duty ought to be promptly dismissed and put in jail. GEORGIA'S PRIMARY. The Democrats of Georgia will hold a primary election on the 7th of December for the nomina tion of their candidate for Gov ernor, and the method Till be different from any heretofore practiced in this State. If it works well in Georgia it may be tried in this State next year in nominating our senatorial candi date, but hardly would apply to the nomination of the candidates for governor and other State offi cers. An Associated Press tele gram from Atlanta, dated last Monday, is as follows: Ihe gubernatorial primary will take place Thursday, De cember 7th, and will be on the county u ait system, as the result of the meeting of the State exec utive committee held late yester day afternoon at the capitol. "The same rules will apply to the nomination of a commission er of commerce and labor. The candidates who receive the high est plurality vote, based on the county unit system, two votes for each member of the lower house of the legislature, will be declared the nominees. "Each gubernatorial candidate will be assessed $150, to be paid not later than November 15th, to be devoted to paying the act ual expenses for printing tick ets, etc." Saved Many from Death. W. L. Mock, of Mock.Ark., believes he has saved many lives in his 25 years of experience in the drug business. What I always like to do," he writes, is to recommend Dr. King's New Disencry for weak, isore lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, obstinate coughs, la grippe, croup, asthma or other bron chial affection, for I feel sure that a The Corn Boys and Tomato Girls. From the Marshville Home. . One of the most noticeable things for men who were looking for something of real worth at the State fair at Raleigh last week was the exhibit of the Boys' Corn Club and tomatoes and other canned goods exhibit ed by girls of the Tomato Club These clubs are of real worth to boys and gils of the South, be cause they instill into their young natures a liking for the improved methods of agriculture, and at the same time stimulate interest among older people. "There could be no better medicine than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. My children were all sick with whoop ing cough. One of them was in bed, had a high fever and was coughing up blood.
