It is b^fttting that the
survivors of the greatest battle;
ever foi^ht,o%i^eeontin|s^ti and
th^ir'comrades of four long years
of war, denolation, deaths, tears
and mourping,’ should have the
Chief Magistrate of a restored

Union and Confederate heroes,
who still remain with us to march
shoulder to shoulder on the fiftetb
anniversary of the battle fought
between Americans, with a valor,
and heroism un before known to
the nations of the world.
The American people will soon
decide who is to lead the proces
sion at Gettysburg. I predict
that it will be Colonel. Roosevelt
the gallent rougn-rider of the
Spanish-American War, Gettys-
buVg in nineteen hundred and
thirteen, without a Roosevelt in
the saddle, will be a funeral pro

rally on the colors next Novem

About Mr Porter
When the delegates were chosen
for the Republican | national con
vention, the Sixth Indiana dis
trict was for Roosevielt. It was
not contested by the Taft forces.
Porter wanted to goas a national
delegate, but there was doubt
among many Roosevelt men as
to his loyalty. He protected,
and went so far as to sign writ
ten pledge to support Roosevelt
throughout the convention if he
were selected. He was elected.
He broke every promise he had
made, and violated his written
pledge. Ke voted for the Taft
forces, or refused to vote at all of
every roll call at the Republican
national convention. When he
came home he was ostracized
politically by all politicans who
believe a man in public life should
at least keep his word.
Last week he was rewarded
for his treachery and deliberate
deception by being made a mem
ber of the Taft executive comr
mittee of Indiana! He couldn’t
be elected dog pelter in his own
district
Such is the political charter of
the rnan whose support of Taft
is being advertised thi'oughout
the east as a gr^t asset.

olina State Fair is Id-
stitutioh and is making wonder
ful Progress alorigr^hefier lines
and should be patronizied by the
entire ita e. There is no" fair
in the iouth that has made the
progress that the North Caro^
Ilna State Fair has made within
the la&t few years. There has
jiiist been completed a large,
mi^ern cohcrete building to be
used exclusively for, agjricuitural
exhibits, and alsoa large concrete
building to be used exclusively
for poultry, the management
contemplates making other very
decided improvements in the
near future, and with the co-,
operation of the farmers and
manufacturers of North CaroUna
the mianagement hoiies to' make
this the greatest-Fair of the en-
tiire South. ,
The management also:- wants
to call the attention of the people
to the fact that the fair is how
run: on an absolutel;y clean?biasis
having eliminated; all obj ection-
able side shows, and there will
be no shows allowed, on the
grounds which would be the
least bit objectionable to anyone.
This year th(fe mahag^ment is
making an extraordinary effort
along a^riculturial and hofticul-
turial lirles, and stock especially
and expects to have the greatest
exhibit along these lines that has
ever been shown at any >fair in
North Carolina. ' ■
The management also wants to
call attention of the people to the
fact that this Fair belong^ to the
state and all of the receipts and
proceeds are paid out in prmiums
and in making imi^b^tnent^^^t
take care of the largely increased
exhibits'. V' ■ r
We urge the faimers of North
Caroli^na to take advantage of
this opportunity and if they have
any products of their farms
which they would like to exhibit,
trust that they will iham^iately
ask the management for ^pace,
which is furnished free, and we
trust that every farmer will
’make an e:ffort to visit this; State
Fair in October as it wilt  yepay^
anyone to do so. ^'V
