It is probable that either a spe cial train will be operated so'As to have a late afternoon train agoing East or that the regular train will be held after 3 o*clo<5k was done dur ing the fair. Then there ia the night express out and thefce two trains can take care of about two thousand people returning, who can come in on two convenient morning trains. The same low rates given by tl^e other railroads apply on the Norfolk South ern. X At the Great State Fair grounds every preparation wil be made to take care of the multitude which will assemble to watch the manoeu vres of the flying machines. The gen eral impression in some-sections that the machines soar aloft like balloons Is being dispelled. I The daring and Interesting part of the flight* is very near the the ground. The machines can go to great alti tude as waa shown in New York day before yesterday when Johnstone; went up 9,714 feet But the racing I la'done near the earth.

It la believed that tho could compel the companies to arbitrate with tho drlvera aad helpers who are Bfhtlas tor higher pay', ft la upon theoe two men that the chief hope of averting a national la bor disturbances rests.

Should they decide to call out their entire memberahlp tn a sympathetic ?tribe It will mean that within a few deya wagons, trucks delivery carta, hacks and taxlcabe wkH disappear from tie street*. Secretary C. W. Foster of the teamsters union, an nounced today thla step will be taken unless the express companies agree on peace terms. Nine hundred more men Joined the expressmen'8 strike today. Three hundred of them were'employee of the O. K. Express Company, an up town concern, and the remainder con slated of helpers, checkers, weigh ers and portera of the Adams and American Bxpreaa Companies. Thlc crippled the work of removing the freight from cara and made the sit uation most serioua. Governor Fort has already held a conference with executlvea of the United States, Adams. Wells-Fargo and American Express Companies and with the strikers. The stagnation here today was so great that public officials and big business Interests were ready fbr a drastic move to prevent the trouble from spreading further. "^Already hundeds of thousands of dollars loss has arisen from the strike and the situation Is growing worse hourly. Conflicts between the strikers and their sympathisers and the strike-, breakers have called out practically the entire reaerve police forces of New York to prcjtect the property of the express'companies and keep down violence. A vigorous protest was made to day against the toanning of express trucks and wagons by policemen. It was pointed out that, should an un expected dlaaater arise there would not be sufficient police to protect the public. When the executive committee of the International Brotherhood meeta tonight reports will be received from agenta in this country and from walking delegatea who have been en gaged alnce last Saturday in other cities organlalng express companies drivers and helpers. Makes Impression. A large number attended the ser vices at the First Presbyterian church last evening was heard with dellgbt and profit the sermon of Rev. W. A? Cleveland, who (s here assisting the pastor In a series of meet^g; Much Interest being manifested in the meetings and no doubt much good will be accomplished ere the meeting closes. Mr. Cleveland is earnest, painstak ing and thoughtful. He preaches in a way to attract and insfruot. The 4 o'clock services are resultlug In much good and the attendance on them has exceeded the expectations of the moat pangulne. There will be preaching again thla evening at 7:30 o'clock to which the general public la cordially invited. , Oh, yes, it's easy to think you will get up early In the morning!; > . t WIN? EVERYBODY MQN IHDpHTEST BOOMS!! Race For District Honors And Chaperonship Grows More ffe&tcd?Subscriptions Getting Bijr Values Cam p^nen Hard At Wort And Anxioua to Win After Many Wesks Of Real Effort? Up To The Pub lie Now. Native All candidates will be given until 4 o'clock this evening to report u) supposed error In their rote count; otherwise the published rote stand ing will considered accept as it ap pears. This is due to the neoeastty of disposing or ths lmmenae pile of clipped coupons that hare bean col lected from tlsse to tiaie during the cbntest. The Set Offer. Already a number of the candidates hare begun the active teal campaign for coateat subscriptions, and the set offer ts proring a winner yesterday thdre were three sets turned la by two candidates who hare started the per iod off with the proper determina tion. Sets msy be formed la many waye, provided the amounts are la new sub scriptions of not Isss than f 1.60. For instance: One fire year subscription; two two-year subscriptions and one for one year; three one year subscrip tions and one two-year; five one years; ten six-months subscriptions; Ave six-months subscriptions snd three one-rears will constitute a set and 9^1.50 on another set. In other words, there ere sny number of msnners in which a set may bo made eip, and the money may be turned Into this office in any amount at a time, provided only that no subecrlp llcn for less tlym $1.50 will be ap plied on a set. Naturally one would think "What am I to get for the 91.00 subscrlp- I 4Ions?" Tha answer.is, UyU every 91.00 new subscription 100 extrs votes sre allowed. As sn example of the above offera: A ballot on a new flve-year subscrip tion Is filled out for 7,800 votea. Then, when it Is received st this of fice certificate* are Issued for 1,600 extra votes?being 100 bonus votes on each dollar new. Then, when the judges go over the contest records 5.000 extra votes sre accredited to the csndidate on that particular ?u'? scrlptlon. The subscription has thoa counted for 14,300 VOTES! Think of It! Almost, but not quite, equal 'to the double vote offer! See the op portunity? Manner of Closing There have been several Inqulriee as to the manner of closing the con test; why |t would not be possible for the contest manager or some other person to give out important infor mation at the last minute; how bsl lots will be deposited, etc. This will all h? duly explained In ample time, but for the Information of those who may wish to know immediately Me y say that no person but the can didates themselTss will know what they bars deposited la either money Judges begin tbetr teal count. At the exact hour set tor closing the ooo teet. the judges wil he s?eu/bled and in the preeeace of tbeee judges each candidate will be permitted to deposit sll subscription hooka with tbe subscriptions and Money to eor respond with them, together wtff nil unvoted ballots.

In tbe lgaue of tbe News of ths following dsy will be snnounced tbe reeutls of tbe entire contest. ' How They Htand One thing Is certain, and evident to everyone Interested, and that Is that the rare Is exciting. The nearer the finish we get. the nearer we come to being unable* to "place a safo bet" on the outcome of the struggle. Not only is this true of the district con tacts, but^ll is so ju regarda the chap eron. Affairs have reached' a'stTge where It's nlp-end-tuck % between the first snd second districts for the hon ors of the chsperonshlp. But whatever the outcome, remem ber this: FINAL RESULTS ARE GOING TO DEPEND WHOLLY UP ON THE PRESENT PERIOD!" Rare ly, If ever before, has there been such s closely contested struggle for contest prises. That Is the resson we can safely say that it all depends upon this lsst period. To date the race Is apparently even between cer tain candldatee in the contest. This isn't often the case, but It' happens to be so in this Instance. Also?' THERE ARE CERTAIN APPARENT LY WEAK CANDIDATES WHO ARE GOING TO SHOW EVERYBODY A SURPRISE AT THE FINISH! Do we know who they are? W*ll, we hsve a pretty good idea, quite as has anyono else who has been watching the progress of the contestants indi vidually as well as collectively. The voting indtcatea something, so look out for s surprise! Putting It Strong. Senator Overman said at Hender sonville that, rather than accept a fee while Senator to procure the 'bringing of a caae like the 8outh Dakota bond suit against North Car olina. he would accept a fee to ahoot his own mother. That li a strong way of putting It. but it would not be a greater crime in the forum of morals.?News and Observer. No I*vayrrmer
