PRICE: 3 CENTS c tnl CENTRAL liC, FAIR OPEN TOMORROW INDUSTRIAL HEWS Thirty Thousand Spent Launch ing Daily Industrial News. Run ning Expense To Be $42,000 Per, Annum. Many People At Central Carolina Fair. In Chaos Of Much Business Pres ident's Visit Is Not Forgotten. $20,000, Land Deal Consumat eq Saturday. Holton Ready To Resume Case Today. Special to The News. Greensboro, N. C., Oct. 9.-The Daily Industrial News made its initial appearance here yesterday morning, and at the some hour . during the day at almost every postoffice in the State, no doubt since every postmaster in the State is said to be on its list of active agents. The metropolitan ap pearance of the paper and its general sot up has been commented on most favorably by all newspaper men here, know what it takes to make a paper, and who had not expected the first number or even the several subse quent ones to be up to the standard of old-established papers whose office force, mechanical, reportorial and edi torial had each got adapted to the routine and the groove. The whole outfit though is equipped regardless of expense, and plenty of money nowa days can obtain trained men able and experienced enough to fill a paper with live reading matter on short no tice. Thirty thousand dollars is said to be the sum expended in getting ready the mechnical and operative depart ment of the paper, and it is under stood that the estimate of running ex penses for a year is $42,000. With! those figures it is easy to see that it has just got to be not only a big pa per, but a mighty big first-class paper every day in the year for the pro moters to get their money back out of the paper. The city is full of people, attracted here to the Central Carolina Fair,, which opens tomorrow and which promises to be on a big scale, the biggest and best in its history. Gov ernor Glenn and his opening speech will be the chief attraction tomorrow, lie will be given a hearty and cordial reception by everybody. There are more ."fakirs", here than ever known on a similar occasion. One reason of it is that those in attendance at the Lynchburg Horse Show and the Win ston Fair last week have taken in Greensboro this week preparatory to converging on Raleigh next week when President will attract the biggest crowd ever seen at a fair in the South before. So it seems safe to predict that the Midway at the fair here to morrow will be something to make a back country man and the old woman and all the boys stand still and won der, then turn in and enjoy them selves. While somewhat delayed, the city is beginning to make some kind of ar rangements to give the President what attention it can during his short stop here next week. The Chamber of Commerce will hold a meeting to night to see what is needed to bo done. There is so much going on here all the time, day and night, it is more difficult to make a big fuss over even so distiguisned a visitor, and so pop ular a one as President Roosevelt is now, as cities like Raleigh, Charlotte and High Point. Every respect possi ble and necessary will be paid the Chief Executive, however, when he passes through, and he will be greeted and welcomed by thous amis, who count their five minutes from business the same as he counts -his five minutes from the comfortable precincts of his palace car standing on a rear platform talking or smiling to them. ' A fifty-thousand dollar land deal consumated Saturday when the Caro lina Real Estate and Investment Com pany closed their option on one hun dred acres of land between the end of West Lee street and the new subur ban city, Piedmont Heights. The property will be laid off into streets and four hundred lots, and another town will soon spring up. It lies 400 yards due south from the State Nor nal and Industrial College. United States District Attorney Holton, whose sudden physical col-1 lapse in the midst of the trial of G. W. Samuel, revenue officer, necessitated suspension of the case in the Federal Court here yesterday, will be able to resume the case Monday. He was taken from the hotel last night to the home of a relative on the suburbs of the city, telephone communication cut, his wife sent for, arriving last night from Winston, and few knew where he was. Thus his physician saw that he should have absolute rest, as Holton is said to have inform ed him that he would proceed with the trial Monday if he had to be taken to court on a stretcher. The physician says he was utterly collapsed from nervous prostration and want of sleep. He reports tonight that Mr. Holton has been kept in bed' and slept ten hours continuously last night, and has been sleeping at intervels all day and seems to be completely rejuvenated, but not allowed to come to his office tonight. Very great apprehension was felt last night at the report that he had fever, since it is well known that for six months the District Attorney has persisted in doing ten men's work without a day's vacation in spite warninrr All ' - ..i..uiu6a lane iiiuie i cat. .an tgtT of fever disappeared this v ,. -g and his recovery is assure'j ing to his condition, it is now ' Kut that if he can hold out tr, ;iude the present case, which .1 take until Thursday at best, the other twenty cases against revenue officers and al leged colluding distillers will be con tinued. It is even predicted that if Samuel is acquitted, other indictments be quashed, as Samuel's is said to be the strongest case of the lot. Sick or well, the District Attorney is playing a desperate game to win, with an equally determined and much more numerous foe fighting every inch of ground. NEGRO MAN DARED FLAMES.

ISSUED B BUREAU PREPARING FOR THE . PRESIDENT'S VISIT Mayor McNinch Asks South Caro lina Governor and Staff to be Present. Entertainment at Charlotte is Planned for a Three Hours Stay. . Mayor S. S. McNinch is still prepar ing for the reception to be given Presi dent Roosevelt on his approaching vis it to Charlotte, and if the elements are favorable the reception will prove one of the greatest welcomes ever extended a Chief Executive in Charlotte. According to the official schedule, the President's train will arrive in OViovlrvtfo cTirvrtlu- affdr. 7 r'nlnrlr anfl the Mayor has been notified that the President will not be able to stop in Charlotte longer than 15 minutes, he is making preparations for at least three hours entertainment. This is, in view of the fact that 'according to the schedule he is not due in Atlanta until daylight the next morning, and as the trip to Atlanta requires but a few hours, Mayor McNinch believes that he will stay in Charlotte as long as the entertainment lasts. In addition to the prominent North Carolinians invited by the Mayor last week, he this morning telegraphed an invitation to Governor Heyward, of South Carolina, and his staff. The in vitation has not been acknowledged, but it is probable that it will be ac cepted in view of the fact that the President's trip does not include a South Carolina city. A letter from Governor Glenn states that he may come in his private car in order to get an early start to Raleigh the next morning. Senators Lee S. Overman and F. M. Simmons and Con gressman Theodore Kluttz, have been invited and are expected. Other North Carolinians who have wired acceptance are Messrs. Thomas a. Koilms, Yates Webb and E. Spencer Blackburn, all of whom will be the guests of the Mayor at the Southern Manufacturers Club. The programme as arranged by the Mayor includes the firing of 21 guns on his arrival in Charlotte by the artillery. The firing will continue until the pro cession reaches Vance Park, where the exercises will be held. The reception committee, appointed by the Mayor, will escort the President to the Park and on arriving there, hundreds of school children, under the leadership of Prof. R. L.. Keesler, will sing National songs, after which the Mayor will in troduce Mr. D. A, Tompkins, who will formally present-the President to the assembled multitude. The President will respond with an address and the children will sing again. GREENSBORO NOTES. Perilous Pranks of Boys Doings in Federal Court. ' Greensboro, Oct. 9.

It is Generally Understood that Eccles & Bryan Will Retire From Active Business. Denny Cate Co., to Take the Central Annex. The traveling public will be very much interested in several hotel deals that are now said to be on tapis. It is rumored that Mr. Charles E. Hooper, now manager of the Central, has secured a five-year lease on the Buford, which is now conducted by Eccles and Bryan. Another interesting rumor is to 'the effect that Eccles and Bryan, now man agers of the Buford, will return to the Central and will conduct that hotel for at least two years.

Hooper, who it is said will take over the Buford the first of Jan uary, was seen this morning by a News reporter. He admitted that plans were on foot concerning the transfer of the lease of the Buford to him, but dis tinctly said that the papers had not been signed and he did not know whether or not he would get the hotel. From another source a News report er learned that the papers in connec tion with the lease had been sent to Richmond, Va., for the signature of Mr. W. J. Johnston, a son of the late Col. Johnston, one of the owners of the property. The News learns that it$s more than probable that Eccles and Bryan will re tire from active business the first of January. Their friends say that ow ing to the "condition of ". Cbl. Eccles health and Mr. Bryan's desire to retire from active business, that neither will engage in the hotel business after the. first of January. It is understood that the Denny Cafe Company .will lease the v Central annex and will conduct this in connec tion with their restaurant, on Euro pean plan.
