I Tho Opinion of The Caucasian and the Opinion of others which we Can Endorse on the Various Topics of the Day. Sampson county lias he'.d nineteen annua! Agricultural Fairs. We feel safe in Haying that there U no county in the State that ! an been more noted td fo1' it.- fine exhibit 'ban outs. The fact that the gallant soldier and famous statesman, Hon Fitzhugh L'H; Governor of the great State of Virginia, lias accepted an invitation to be present and .'peak on Veteran's Day, December the 5th, and the fact that is almo.it a certainty (which we expei't to be able to announce as such in next issue) that Governor Fovle will for merly open the Fair on Wed nesday, December 1th, and thfit lion. C. W. Macune will deliver the address on Alliance Day, December Kth, make, it a cer tainty that that there will bo more people to attend this Fair than at any other oxhibit of the kind held in the State, except the Stte Fair and the Fayette ville Centennial. Therefore it behooves the people of Samp son, Johnson, Harnett, Duplin, Fender, Bladen and New Han over, the territory represented by this Fair, to put forth every effort to make an exhibit, not only equal to thos we have had in the past, but superior. That such will be the case we have every reason to expect. Let it be so ! What is the lesson of last week's elections"1 been the causes What have that have j wrought the political revolu tions in Ohio, Iowa and Virgin ia ? In the first Fo raker, who has twice been elected Govern or, Foraker, tie bloody shirt ikiunter,ihe rantankorous South hater, the sectional tooter, has been snowed under by about 11.000 Democratic majority, which makes a Democratic gain of between 30,000 and 40,000; the second, which has, since 1 8 GO, been solidly Republican, with a majority of from 20,000 to 40,000, has elected tin Dem ocratic candidate for Governor by 7,000 majority : iu the last, which was carried by Cleveland by only about 1,000 majority, the traitor Mahone has been buried under a Democratic ma jority of 30,000. In the country districts of Massachusetts the Democratic gains aro about 20, 000. Maryland and New Jersey have increased their majorities, and it will be remembered that a few weeks since Indianapolis, Harrison's home, elected a Dem ocratic Mayor the first time in 1 fifteen years. Yes, what does I all this mean? It means first that the country is not satisfied with Harrison's administration, secondly, it means that Clove land is a prophet. What did Grover " Cleveland predict ? When he sent his famous low tariff message to Congress, he said that it might defeat the Democratic party at the next election, but that he was sow ing seed that would reap a rich harvest for his party in the fn ture. That the people must be educated up to undenstaud the monstrous iniquities of the high war tariff and then, when that was done, the party of ta m " t riii reiorm worn a nave a long lease of power. One of the most noticeable things about this election is that the greatest gains have been in the rural and agricul tural district1, the sections-that are burdened worse by the tariff Yes, the farmer is waking up, and the war tariff and its pa rent, the Radical party, are doomed. e believe that the Alliances and Wheels have done much, in their fight against mo nopoly, to bring about these splendid results. Let the good work go on! - "Whnt I '!" !.TM,3:r:i.fr atthe Head the Nation. lUs. ( '. I"HJ-". CM'CA.'-TAN . ! WASnix-ao. i). ' Nov. lUii. President Harrison introduc ed an innovation in While House c .-idiom thig week that is deeply regretted by conserva tive people, who believe that the dignity of the Presidential office should be increased in stead of Vsened. To such peo ple it was a positive fihock to find t'lat the President had had l'i;ielf interviewed by a news paper, on the election returns, iu order to try and counteract the dampening effect they had upon his party associates, and also to furnish thorn with a cue to explain the crushing defeat away. If President Harrison really believes, as lie says he does, that the result of the elec tions held Inst Tuesday was not intended as a vrdci upon I: is adm;ii:si ratloii, tnen he lias not the sense that lie has generally been credited with by even his opponent?. A curious coinci dence iu the same paper is an interview with Mr. Hal ford, the President's private Secretary, which hi M-nt'iuent is precisely the same us that with President Harrison. These interviews are regarded here, eyen by republi cans, as a very weak aud undig nified attempt to fool the coun try. Republicans of prominence openly admit that the result of the election is a stinging rebuke to the administration and its methods Old soldiers quietly chuckle and whisper "f told you so" to one another. The rejoicing among demo crats here is intense; they can talk of nothing else but th tidal wave, and they all see hi it an auspicious sign for the greater fiirht iu 1892. They argue that it nine months of Harrison's administration has brought about this result, four j years of it will wipe the repub lica:i party out of existence. 15 J deshrns have been receiv- pfi hv the Postofiice door.,vtmfint in answ r to advertisements inviting proposals for furnish ing a new design for postal cards. A committee will decide upon the most artistic. Delegate Dubois of Idaho, thinks that Territory will gain admission to the Union this winter. There seems no good reason whvshe should not Secretary Rusk asks in his annual report just published, that 300 acres of the Arlington estate be turned over to the Agricultural department for an experimental fruit farm. He also recommends a more rigid Government inspection of cattle and dressed beef. Ex-Secretary Bayaid was married hero yesterday at 1, o' clock. The ceremony was very quiet, being attended only by the family and a few close friends of the bride Mis? CIv- mer and groom. The newly married couple left immediate ly after the ceremony for a short tour. It is expected that ihey will spend the winter in this city. Mahone and Foraker get scaut sympathy from republicans here. They are charged with having invited certain defeat rather than give up their schemes for personal aggrand izement. The machinery of the South ern Exposition at Montgomery, Alabama, was set in motion by telegraph by President Harri son last Tuesday at noon. The sickest looking men iu Washington today are the re publican clerks in the depait rnents who went home to vote This is particularly applicable to the Ohio men. The Presidential proclama tions declaring Montana and Washington States will not be issued uutll complete official returns of the late elections in those states are received by the President. The two Dakotas were simultaueously admitted last Saturday. Corporal Tanner enjoyed reading the election returns much more than the President or Secretary Noble did. He would have been more than hu man not to have indulged in ghoulish, glee," a3 he surveyed the wreck. President Harjrison reminds one of the man who told Noah to "go on with your old ark, its only a shower anyway"; " Wednesday, Dec. 4th, will be Opening. l)y of the Sampson Fair.

The Fayetteville Observer of some days ago published a let ter from the Federal ; Colonel, J. B. Edgington, , formerly of Iowa, whose remarkable speech at Memphis, Tenn., ywe com mented upon at iengtnv some months since. He was invited to attend the Fayetteville Cen tennial to come off this month In his letter to the committee he saysi-j. O r? ' ! "Massachusetts has been said to be the cradle of American liberty, but it was in the State of North Carolina that Ameri can liberty firat put on her swaddling clothes; where the Mecklenburg resolutions of in dependence were adopted. If American liberty is to be preserved in this country it must be done by following c!o3ely in the path marked out by North Carolina. Circum stances will prevent my attend ance at the celebration in the flesh, bait I will be with ypo in the spirit." Wil. Messenger. Stock on Exhibit at the Sampson Fair will be fed free of charge.

The people around Lisbon were found busy as bets atMheir respective . works, Springvale church is about com pleted and Mr. A. J. Johnson of Taylors Bridge has' nearly fin ished repairing his milk. Near Way Cross the people are losing their hogs with cholera. : Over the Duplin line the peo ple were found busily employed and; eatisfied with their crops with the exception of cotton. Many of them are paying speci al attention to stock laisingand fruit culture-two industries that oar people should giye more attention to. A great deal of syrup is made in this section and we saw three men who had tcade together 1500 gallons. - On Friday rooming the 8th, we repaired to Warsaw to wit ness the laying of the . corner stone of the M. E. Chrirch; The people began to arrive at an early hour and by 10 o'clock there was a vast crowd assem bled to witness thH imposing ceremony. The following ma sonic Lodges participated in the laying of the corner stone. St. Johns, No. 1 ; Siloam, 178 ; Atlantic, 294; King Solotnan, 138 ; Belmont, 708 ; Hiram, 98 ; Rehobeth, 279.

Prof.tMer- ritt was responded toby Presid ing Elder F. D. Swindell in a pleasant and. timely address. Rev. W. S. Creasy, the able and eloquent pastor of Grace Church, Wilmington, was then introduced and delivered the masonic address. His theme was "Masonry and Christianity" and was handled in a masterly style, as Mr. Creasy handles everything he undertakes. We wish we could give his address verbatim. After Mr. Creasy's address ! the vast concourse of people repaired to the grove in front of the college, where a table near 200 yards iu . length was laden with inviting dilica- cies prepared and spread by the kind : ladies of Warsaw and vicinity. It was indeed one of the grandest feasts this writer has ever wituessed and after the multitude, had been sumptuous ly fed many5 asketfuls remain ed.
