A very sad and sensational affair occurr ed here yesterday morning about 2 o'clock when Dan Austin, a negro, about 26 years old, shot Jim Workman, a boy 18 years of age. They were both drinking and had gone to the powerhouse, where they were warming them selves and passing jokes. The negro took offense at the white boy's jokes and drew out a pis tol, fired three shots, one passing through the boy's left eye, one through his nose and the third through his hip. Squire R. J. Hall and Deputy Sheriff C. D. Storey being notifi ed by phone, went at once to the negro's house, where they found him making ready for speedy flight. They arrested him and carried him to Graham, where he is safely imprisoned. Workman has a widowed mother living here, and great sympath is felt for her in her deep distress. There is no hope for the boy's recovery. News reached here yesterday of a frightful shooting at Ossipee, a mill town near by. Aimer Conkiin and Joe Compton, both white men, were out opossum hunting and sat down for a game of cards. While they were gambling a dispute arose and Conkiin shot Compton. He was carried at once to the hospital in Greensboro, and it was report ed heretoday that Compton has since died from his wounds. RANDOLPH CLUB AT THE UNIVERSITY.

The club would greatly appreciate the j cooperation of the various schools of the county, towards this end. The secretary would be pleased to receive thejnameof every young man, who is this year a member of the graduating class cf any of the high schools over the county.

RandoiPli County's Great Agricultural an Educational Fair. The Randolph county Agricul tural and Educational Fair open ed Tuesday, with a formal ad dress by Dr. Hill of A. & M. College. For several months the fair has been the , absorbing topic throughout the county. Many looked upon the enterprise with favor while others regarded it with doubt or indifference. But a survey of the exhibits now in place will convince any one that the fair is a success so far as a display of agricultural products is concerned. All day Monday and Tuesday till noon a large corps of men and women were busy as beavers receiving and placing exhibits that poured in from every section of the county. When every thing was placed, exhibitors, managers, and visi tors alike were astonished at the great variety and . excellence of the exhibits. While every de partment is meritorious, yet some excel in point of numbers and variety. This is particularly true in the poultry de artment, farm products and fancy work department. But every depart ment is a credit to the individual exhibitors and to the county. The attendance the fiast two days was all that could be desir ed. Tuesday morning was dull and threatening, promising everything but a good day. How ever the people were determined to come to the fair regardless of the weather, and a splendid crowd of visitors thronged the streets and fair grounds. But luesday's crowd was small as compared with Wednesday's mul titude, that poured in by rail, wagon, buggy and every other mode of modern conveyance.
