THE GREENVILLE FAIR.
A Speech by Gov. Z. B. Vance in which
He Gives the South Carolinians a
JHixtare of Fan and Agriculture.
The fair now being held at Greenville.
S C, is said to be a splendid one, the
best ever held at that place. The event
of Wednesday was the speech of Gov.
Vance. The Greenville News says:
"Governor Vance began by alluding in
a humorous way to the remarkable
anomaly presented by farmers asking
politicians to instruct them about farm
ing, and warned Jbis audience that they
must expect more or less politics in his
remarks. In the language of the moun
tain country whera he was raised it
would smell of the keg.
Tbe peculiar civilization of our coun
try was causing the develophlent of
some very dangerous tendencies, the
worst of them probably being tbe vast
accumulation of wealth in a few hands
great corporations, railroads, manu
factures, banks and individuals. These
co-operated with each other to influence
legislation and control the affairs of the
country in their own interest.
The Senator then stated the statistics
of the various interests of the country
the numbers of-persons engaged in
agriculture, manufactures and rail
roads, the number of capitalists, etc
Of all the people of the country, nearly
one half were engaged in agriculture,
eight millions of the eighteen millions
qf people whose occupation was report
ed being farmers. Nearly as many peo
ple cultivated the soil as were engaged
in all other work combined. But the
profits of farming were less than those
of any other business, and the capital
engaged was greater than that of any
other.. The farmer was oppressed by
the organization of all other interests
and by hostile legislation. It was that
legislation that piled taxes on the farm
ers without giving them any adequate
return. It was that legislation that
created high protective tariffs entirely
for the benefit of manufactures and
granted railroads charters, giving them
unlimited powers to tax the producers
and consumers. The farmers had the
short end of the single-tree all the time.
Laughter It reminded him of the
old Illinois Granger who went to the
camp meeting and fell asleep after
having discussed the railroad question
freely. The minister was exhorting his
hearers to choose between the straight
and narrow way and the broad road
that leadeth to destruction, when the
granger suddenly woke and shouted:
MIt don't make a d d bit of difference
which you take, mister; they'll consoli
date or pool inside of thirty days cer
tain." Laughter and cheers.
Senator Vance talked an hour - of
solid, hard common sense, flavored with
occasional dashes of the humor and
quaint illustration for which be is so
famous. His speech was devoted to
urging the farmers to keep posted on
the questions of the times and on all
questions effecting themselves, and to
act promptly and in union for their
own protection and to secure for them
selves the consideration and encourage
ment that the importance of their work
and the multitude of their numbers
entitled them to.
The Day ol Atonement.
With the appearance of the first star
last night concluded one of "the most
sacred festivals of the Jewish people,
the Day of Atonement It is fixed by
the Mosaic ordinance on the tenth day
of the Hebrew month Tishri. Tbe
preceding ten days are termed "Peniten
tial Days," being devoted to penitence
and prayer, and culminating in the so
lemnities of the great fast day, conse
crated to two important principles, the
weakness and power of man, the prone
ness to sin to which he subjects him
self, and his loftier nature through
which he is enabled to arrive at the
knowledge of his weakness and frail
ties, and by that power free himself
from the yoke of sin. The ' means
adopted to secure this purpose are total
abstinence from worldly occupations
and enjoyments on the one hand, and
on the other increased devotional exer
cises and sincere repentance for past
misdeeds. Every Jewish male and fe
male above the age of 13 years rigidly
observes the fast and abstains from
partaking of food or water for twenty
four hours. The synagogues are always
crowded with devout worshippers from
early morn to sunset, who recite aloud
the solemn confessionals of the Ritual
and unite in chanting the soul-stirring
prophecies of Jeremiah and the glow
ing verses of David.
Oar Captured Indian.
Pony Horn, the Indian who was ar
rested for being drunk last Saturday,
did not have enough change to pay up
his fine and was sent to the rock pile to
work it out He has since been ham
mering rock like a good Indian. Yes
terday1 a telegram was received from
Rock Hill, S C, by Chief of Police Har
rison enquiring about Pony Horn. It
seems our captured savage is one of a
tribe of Catawba Indians, located near
Rock Hill, and the loneliness about his
wigwam becoming painful, his white
friends sent a telegram asking 'about
him. Pony is in good hands here in
Charlotte and as he works well, he will
soon gain his liberty and be restored to
his sorrowing paps and squawpooses.
Unlike Logan, Pony has somebody to
mourn for him.

A Sad Death.
Mr M A Hudson, an estimable young
man who was for a short time a citizen
of Monroe, died at the residence of his
mother, eight miles west of Monroe, on
Wednesday night, aged about 28 years.
His disease was consumption, brought
on by exposure nearly twelve months
ago resulting in a deep cold which fi
nally 8ettledj0n.his lungs and from that
time his decline was rapid. About two
years ago he was happily married to
Miss Ella, an accomplished, and lovely
daughter of S B. Howard, Esq, who
with one child and a host of kindred
and friends mourn his early demise.
His remains will bp interrediat Provi
dence church this morning, where no
doubt a large congregation will attend
the burial Of this popular young man.
He was a member of the Golden Rule
Insurance Society, where he had an in
surance of three thousand dollars for the
benefit of bis family. '
Charlotte Female ' Institute at the
State Fair.
Mr Atkinson, Principal of Charlotte
Female Institute, sends down to-day to
the State fair at Raleigh a car load of
drawings, paintings and decorative ar
ticles, the works of his pupils fur the
past two or three years. The exhibit
he will make at the State fair will be
the choicest works of art which have
graced the annual exhibits at the com
mencements of the Charlotte Institute,
Which exhibits have been greatly ad
mired by our citizens. He has sent
down the two decorated mantels which
attracted so much attention at the last
two annual exhibits here. We congrat
ulate Raleigh and tbe visitors to the
fair upon this opportunity of seeing
such an exhibit as they have never
seen before, .and of finding out some
thing about the schools in this part of
our State.
The Grand Commandery Adjourned
The annual meeting of the Grand
Commandery, Knights Templar, of
North Carolina, which has been in ses
sion in this city since last Tuesday, ad
journed yesterday morning. Th morn
ing session of the body was a short one.
A resolution of thanks was tendered
to Past Grand Commander H H Mun
son, for his able and efficient manner
of presiding over the body. The report
of tbe committee on returns of the
subordinate commanderies was receiv
ed. After passing resolutions Of than&s
to the Charlotte Commandery for their
generous entertainment, and to the
railroads for courtesies, the Grand Com
mandery adjourned to meet in Raleigh
next October. All the visiting Knights
left the city on outgoing trains last
night. They made a good impression
upon our people, all of whom would be
glad to welcome them back again. ;
A Knotty Question.
Some weeks ago our city receiyed a
visit from a dancing school master by
name of Prof Knott. The object of
Prof Knott's visit here was to establish
a dancing school in the "Cradle of Lib
erty," as our city is known to posterity,
and after a good deal of canvassing
around he succeeded in establishing a
pretty fair school. He also succeeded
in collecting the cash from the parents
of his pupils, and it has come to pass
that he has succeeded in retiring to
some hole and pulling the hole in after
him, so suddenly and completely has he
lost himself to his patrons and friends
in Charlotte. The dancing school had
become well under way, and the pupils
were just beginning to learn the initial
mysteries of the Boston glide and Sara
toga whirligig, when an end came to it
all by the failure of the Professor to
appear in the dancing school rom. Tax
Collector Gooding failed to flush the
Professor about town anywhere,andhis
pupils have listened in vain for some
news of him. One citizen sent three
children to the Professor, paying him
in advance for their tuition. They 'got
four lessons. The question is, if Prof
Knott is not a swindler, what is Knott,
and why is Knott not? If he is Knott,
he is guilty of very Knotty conduct,
which eur people do not understand.
Bishop To-night.
Reserved seats for Bishop will be put
on sale at thensual places this morning,
and all should get tbeir seats early, as
there'will be a rush. In "Strictly Busi
ness" Bishop is immense, and the news
paper critics all speak of him in glowing
terms. The Augusta Chronicle says:
The picture of the American abroad is
one so full of humor that none but an
American could have formed it, and
few others than Americans can fully
appreciate it. What Mark Twain has
done with his "Tramp" and his "Inno
cent," Gunler has, to the same extent,
condensed into his "Fresh" and "Strict
ly Business." These dramas are evi
dently fashioned upon the same plan,
and many of their grotesqie situations
spring from the same inspiration. Those
who have read Wm Black's excellent
novel "Sunrise" will realize in the
Nihilistic plots and entanglements of
"Strictly Business" a capital burlesque.
Bishop as Phineas P Philkins is of
course the central figure. He is a big
reser.vior of fun, with a countenance
which would be his fortune in any cli
mate. An American drummer whom
trichinae had ruined, whom Nihilism
had entangled, and whom marriage had
wholly upset, Bishop was indescribably
immense. His wits never deserting
him, even under a combination of evils
which would have dwarfed any nation
ality ?ave an irrepressible Yankee, he
lived to retrieve his good luck, save the
life of the Czar, and redeem the love of
a brilliant spouse. The play leaves him
in a folissf ul state of condensed milk
and concentrated honeymoon, and the
palm of good humor is awarded him
from beginning to end.

The Monroe Light Infantry.
The military company of Monroe
was inspected by Col Cameron, In
spector Genera, on last Wednesday and
was highly complimented by that gen
tleman on account of its fine per
sonal appearance and the progress it
has made in mastering the tactics.
The ladies of the town held a festival
during two days , and nights of the
present week, which was liberally pat
ronized by the citizens and court visi
tors and the sum Of $225 was netted
for the benefit of the company.
Attempted Incendiarism.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning a
fire was discovered under a kitchen in
the yard now occupied by J J Gallman,
on Tryon between 5th and 6th streets.
The fire had been kindled by rich pine
wood and was leaping into a brisk flame
when discovered by a negro girl, Minnie
Hoskins, almost immediately over it.
It was extinguished without alarm. It
was evidently the work of an incendi
ary, and the matter was put into the
hands of the police. Suspicion pointed
to two negro women, Jennie Taylor and
Fannie Springs, who were arrested, but
a preliminary hearing of the case yes
terday afternoon resulted in their dis
charge. Removal of the Confederate Dead.
The work of removing the Confeder
ate dead from Arlington cemetery, in
Washington City, to Raleigh, will be
commenced next Monday. A letter to
the News & Observer from Mrs C W
Harris says that the following gentle
men will escort the remains to the
steamer at Alexandria: Capt F H Tren
holm, (of Gen D H Hill's Staff and son
of Secretary Trenholm); Col Christmas,
(of Gen Ransom's staff) ; Maj Woodbury
Wheeler ; Col John A Sloan ; Col Robt
H Jenkins, (of Beauregard's staff) ; Mr C
W Harris,36th N C T, Gen W H F Lee
(son of Robert E Lee) ; Gen Fitzhugh
Lee.
The funds for the consummation of
this noble work were secured through
the personal solicitation of the Ladies
Memorial Association, of Raleigh. The
subscription listopened by themthrough
Gov Vance in Charlotte has been filled
as follows : Z B Vance, $5;HC Eccles,
$5 ; A Northern Man, $1 ; Chas R Jones,

Monroe Court.
The Stevens -Ringstaff Clyburn homi
cide case was taken up on Wednesday
morning and a jury was obtained by the
noon adjournment. The afternoon of
that day was spent in the examination
of Drs Ramsay and Montgomery Whn
had attended Clyburn after he was
wounded ; the latter was also one of
those who witnessed the affray which
made him one of the most important
of the State's witnesses. Yesterday
morning the examination of the wit
nesses for the prosecution was con
tinued until 10 o'clock when tha State
temporarily rested its case. The exami
tion of the witnesses for the defense
was then begun and continued until the
noon adjournment, when our informant
left. It was thought that all the evi
dence would be in by the adjournment
last night and the arguments made to
day and doubtless we will be able to
give our readers the verdict in to-morrow's
paper. This case has been on tbe
Docket for the past two years and on
account of the social standing of both
parties, as well as fair financial abil
ity is attracting considerable interest.
A strong array of counsel has been em
ployed on both sides and some of the
most able speeches that have ever been
made in Monroe are looked for. The
prosecution is conducted by Messrs
Payne & Vann and Maj W J Montgom
ery, and the defense is represented by
Messrs Covington & Adams, Col H C
Jones and Hon R T Bennet. Solicitor
F I Osborne, having been employed by
the defense before his election as Solici
itor, is not taking any part in the case
at all.
