Chief Justice Walter Clark will deliver the principal address Lambeth Furniture Plant Burns, i The main building of the Lam beth Furniture Company's plant in Thoraasville was destroyed by fire at 7 o'clock Saturday ; u ght. -The blaze started in the miu ma ihinery building and was beyond control when discovered and was completely destroyed. By hard work . the fire fighters succeeded in saving the packing honse and dry kiln, which considering there was no fire depig ment is remarkably good work. The Lambeth Furniture Com. pany operates one of Thomas vilie'a largest furniture factories. Sixty hands are regularly employed. The company carried only $8,200 insurance, which is just one fourth of the loss. Mr. Jonn W. Lambeth was the heaviest stockholder and its general manager and treasurer. Other stockholders were - F. S. Lamletb, R. L. Limbeth, "; D. T. Lambeth, and E. F. Harriss.' Mr. Lambeth says that the phnt will be rebuilt at once. NORTH NO PLACE NEGRO FOR Pennsylvanian Advises Him To . Stay In The South. (From the Chester (Pa.) Times) There is force a.d reason in the advice to young men, "Go South" There are rare opportunities in the Southland for tbe young man who wishes to devote his attention to farming. It will not cost as much to live in the South. There will be lighter clothing to buy, the fuel expenses will be lighter, while horses and cattle can graze out of doors the year around. Land is now cheap in the South; the climate is favorable for fruit growing, while crops that cannot be easily grown in, northern latitudes are easily raised in in the great ter ritory that lies below the Virginias, or even a few miles south Of Mason and Dixon's line. The colored men of this city who advise their friends to come North do not give wise counsel. There is more chance in the South for the colored man to earn an independent living than can be found in the North. Many a colored farmer is demonstrating that. The negro race can work out its salvation in a much swifter way on the farm than in the city. Many colored families have been Induced to come to this county be cause of letters giving a rosy impres sion of conditions sent by northern friends. ' An injnry is wrought to the persons thus advised. The best counsel for northern colored men and women-to give their friends is to stay in the South. Charity begins at home, but honey moons end there. V i Square in Asheboro, June 3rd, A Novel Publication.

Boys and girls wno ae sire to work for preniums should write The Carolina Democrat, Mon roe, N. 0., for particulars. Teleoost Cuts Into Business Of Morse. The fight that has been going in Chicago for the last two months for control of the telegraph business ne tween that city and principal cities of Missouri, Nebraska, Indiana and Kentucky has reached an acute stage. The Telepost attomatic tele graph company, whion has been act' mg as pacemaker for its older rivals with its 1000 words a minute service .and maximum rates of one cent a word, regardless of time or distance. has considerably the beat of it to date, as is shown by its acquestion of the patronage of more than 800 of the largest corporations, business houses and individual users of the wire, who have heretofore used the Morse system exclusively to the points reached by the competing lines. The latter estimate that the change will save them thousands of dollars a . year. Computing its profit oo every 25 cent message at 11 eta, the Telepost is in the unique position ,of being able to provide service to telegraph users from 40 to 100 per cent cheaper than its com' petitors, with their slower and more expensive band operating system and mike money out of it. , Railroad Disaster in Georgia. The "Dixie Flyer, ' the Atlantic Coast Line's train running between Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla., went through ' a trestle over the Alapaha river, eighteen miles from Tif ton, Ga., last Saturday. - Nine persons were, killed and over a dozen, were injured. The express messen ger, baggage master, conductor and negro porter were among the dead. According to official statement tbe wreck was caused by the break ing of an ale on tbe engine, tbe weight' of the train causing the trestle work to collapse. The Civic' League of Thomasville has taken possession of the last sec tion of the public equare which has been used for a hitching ground and grass seed will be planted. New Yok Has Big Fire. The largest fire New York has ever known since the burning of the steamship, General Slocnm, in 1904, occurred last Saturday. 141, nine tenths of whom were girls from the East side, were killed and 12 women and girls seriously and per haps fatally, injured. . Nearly all the victims were em ployed by the Triangle shirtwaist Company on the eigat, ninth and tenth floors of the building. There were uo fire escaps on the outside of tbe building and as the flames be gan to sweep the floors the girls jumped from windows onto tbe pavement, bixty were killei ia this way, the remainder being burned in the building. About 82 of the victims were identified. The partaers of the firm, Isaac Harrisou and .lack Blanc escaped from the orl c- on the tenth fljor. carrvine witu them two young daughters and a governebs. The loss of property will not ex ceed $100,000. The cnuse of the fire is not known, lnose responsioie iur the less of life will be prcuecutcu. A County Fair and Home-Comi;g Week. It is a settled fact that there will be a week set apart next fall for Home Coming Week in Randolph, when the "scattered abroad" are ex pected to return and mingle with others who have gone away and with those who have remained in the old county, at thejeounty seat. During this fclome uoming vveeK, which will be in October or Novem ber, there will be an Agricultural, Live Stock and Industrial Fair at Asheboro. There will be : (1) A Farmers' Day. (2) A Poultry and Live Stock (3) An Educational JJay, and an the school children in the. caunty will be invited to b-) present, (i) A Manufacturers' Day. There will be other features. A fair association should be or ganized without delay, and every effort made to make creditable ex hibits so as to promote the material resources and make known our great natuial advantages, both in anag ricultural way and the advantages we have to offer to manufacturing interests. The people in every part of the county are appealed to aid in this laudable undertaking. A movement of this kind will help to unite the people of every part of the county and advertise our natural advantages and great undeveloped resources. Every kind of crop can be produced. A county fair will do much to at tract attention to the county, and invite settlers and manufacturers to locate here. It would also stimulate and en courage our home people to grow better crops and live stock. We do not expect large exhibits the first year, but it will grow from year to year, and can be made a suc cess from the beginning.

Washington, March 257 ine arrival or senator bimmons force of clerks and the huv days in his otnee indicate something Inter esting for the near future. The campaign for tbe seat now ocenpied by Mr. Simmons in the senate is underway. Gov. Kitchin and oth ers have their eyes and hopes on the toga of the game cock of the Nortli Carolina congressional d-legation. The vote that Mr. Simmons cast for Senator Larimer and tbe reciprocity speech he made just before the last session adjourned added fuel to the Amies and precipitated the tight that might not hive come for some months. Senator Siuioicas, who was never known to run, is standing pat on his record. He will defend bis course before the people. Thirty odd thousand of the reciprocity speeches are being hurrkd to the State. Three camps are in tbe field in the State. They harbor the ' regu lars" tbe Simmons forces ; the Kitchin men, and the ''progres sivesthese are led by National Committeeman Daniels and Ed. Jus tic, a brilliant and daring man of Greensboro. Rumor has it that Mr. Justice will move to Kaleigh in the near future and throw down the glove m the Simmons and Kitchin supporters. If he does there will be a spirited time in the old state. In the meantime, however, it is de clared, Senator SimmoBS aud Gov ernor Kitchin are whetting their blades to start the ball. Claud Kitchin and Charles Brantly Aycock are classed as "suitable meu iu the case of a hopeless deed'ock." Remarkable Families. In Orange county is a very re markable family of the name of McKee. They have had tbe same fire in the fire pi ice for 80 years, and possibly longer. The fork on which the pot bangs is known to have been in use for more than 110 years. They own a 47-year-old mule which is doing good work. A score or more years ago they bought a box of matches and the box is still full. At the time of the death of Ephraim Soroggs, of Iredell county, the fire which was lighted when he began housekeeping, had never been allowed to go out. Union Township S. S Convention.
