Winston, N,C, Nov. 3. The open
ing day of what is, without doubt, the
biggest occasion in the history of
Winston-Salem, dawned with a clear
sky and 'crisp,-breezy atmosphere.
The bright sun, as it rose and cast its
first rays upon the city, with its im
posing buildings, tastefully and beau
tifully decorated in. bright colors.made
a picture worthy of the enterprising
and hustling city. -
Winstoir-Salem never does things by
halves she goes full breadth . clenth
x
and length. This- mammoth tobacco
fair is no departure from her custom.
The towns are full of people people
from all parts of the state; peoplefrom
all over Forsyth and adjoining coun
ties, all kinds, classes and conditions
of people, and the people of Winston,-
Salem greet all with a gladsome smile,
hearty hand shake and royal wel
come. v
This morning, as a preliminary to
the formal opening of the grand exhi
bition, all citizens from the country
and the towns were cordially invited
to, join m a street procession, which
formed at 10 o'clock on Fifth street.
with the chief marshal and aides first,

Main, down Main to Salem square
and up Main to the armory, where the
fair was formally opened by a ring
ing speech from Col. Cunningham,
who was introduced in a graceful
manner by Cal. Carr.
The Farmer's warehouse, where the
. 'a T 1 J AT
main exnioits are cuspiayeu, ia me
chief center of attraction. It would
require the space of a whole newspa-
Tfi to half wav do iustice to the at-
tractive and varied exhibits here made.
They are elegantly and tastefully ar
x -
ranged.
Beginning in the northwest corner
find the first attraction to be
the exhibit of the Brown-Rogers Co.,
hardware, mowers, reapers ana bind
ers, grain drills, with the machinery
running by electric motor.
Next is the magnificent drug display
. - . - i
of E. W. O'Hanlon, tne corner arug
store man. Next to this comes an at
tractive display of coal and ice, by D.
H. King. Then the furniture estab
lishment of Call Bros., in a, tasteful
display, followed by E. M. Andrews,
of Charlotte, with pianos and organs.
Next we find a large space occupied
by W. T. Vogler & Hons, tne jewei-
ers, in a maguiuucuK uidioj .
ing this we find Prof. Lomady, tne
gold wire artist, wno matces you
a name pin while you wait. e nas an
attractive and catchy sign, "Just
Dropped from Klondike;" with a nug
get nearly as large as your head sus
pended beneath.
Rosenbacher & Bro. have a lovely
display of dresses and hats. This is
one of the most attractive exhibits of
the fair. And next comes Leonard,
the jeweler, with a space beautifully
art.ist.iVallv decorated. Another
(JU L-Lt-A. -'''
wire jeweler Milton Young follows
and then you see the splendid exhibit
of Watt Martin, the dealer in manu
facturers' supplies.
Glancing hastily and admiringly at
this, we are next brought to the exhib
it of A. C. Vogler & Son, furniture
dealers. Then the Richmond wood
working company's exhibit.
ro f t.hft ; most attractive exhibits
VilU V. -
is that of Walter Grimes, the drug,
gist. Walt is an .artist and we con
e-ratulate him on his display.
Cant. S. E. Allen has one of the
best and largest exhibits here, in all
kinds of hardware and crockery.
This brings us to the southeast corner
of the building where we find oils and
stoves, then A. Daye with a handsome
exhibit. L. W. Seabolt makes a splen
did exhibit of Garland stoves and
TaiTins. p.tr Foffle Bros, are

is another attractive place.
The Blackwell Durham Tobacco Co;r,
as fchey always do , have a splendid
exhibit.
; , J. Bo wen, . sewing machines,
Crist & McArthuryi real estate, and
then we find the Oconechee farm dis
play, the - most 'attractive feature'iof
which is the old timeover-shot waler
wheel, made of various products of the
farm. The spokes are of wheat, oats
and rye stalks, the rim of ear's of coin,
the buckets of boxes with glass cov
ers , containing grains of corn , oats,
Wheat, peas, rye, potatoes, turnips,
etc. There is also here a good display
of the celebrated gilt edge butter from
the Oconeechee farm. t 'Then we see the
Singer sewing machine exhibit, and
turning to the center of the building J
we first find the Brown & Williamson
tobacco exhibit, about which much
might be said.
Dalton, Farrow &. Co., have, per
haps, the most unique exhibit at the
fair. It is made entirely of their choice
brands of plug, and represents the in
terior of a room, with fire-place and
mantle. It will have to be seen to be
appreciated. Standing in the corner
of the room is the ; Yellow Kid. This
exhibit is a chief attraction.
Then comes Locke tt, Vaughn & Co.,
with their "Red Meat," T. L. Vaughn
& Co., with "Red Apple,"Bailey Bros,
with "Old Bob." and other popular
brands, Ogburn, Hill & Co., S. A.
Ogburn, with his "Cannon Ball." All
of these have large and attractive
spaces.
The Brown Bros. Co. have a splen
did exhibit also, a special feature of
which is the revolving top, represent-
one of ther popular brands of plug.
Then we find P. H. Hanes & Co.,
with a large display with handsome
and artistic trimmings, beautiful can
opy top studdied with electric lights in
varigated colors.
Casey & Wright also have one of
the most "catchy" displays here. A
dining room scene, table laden with
complete dinner outfit, the turkey, a
splendid imitation, made of leaf tobac
co.' In fact all the tempting viands are
made of the yellow staple.
The"R. J. R" exhibit comes next
and we advise you to come and see it.
We can only mention a few others,
Craig & Vokes, wire jewelers, the
Wachovia Mills, Salem Iron Works,
Nissen Wagons and the best exhibit of
poultry ever seen in the state,from the
Alamance farm of L. Banks Holt.
The fakirs and side show people are
on hand in large numbers.
One special feature of this fair is
that it is free absolutely no charge
for admission. The Star and Brown'sl
warehouses are filled with leaf tobacco,
while the Piedmont is reserved as a
ree lodging place for farmers.
This is the biggest time in the his
tory of Winston-Salem, and its citi
zens are all to be congratulated. No
pains nor effort has been spared to
make the occasion a grand success and
success is achieved.

A, SUCCESSFUL COTTON PICKER.
A Machine That May Revolution Cot
ton Growing.
For a number of years ,cotton pick
ers have been tried each season, some
being absolute " failures ' i and some
a.artial success. Repeated attempts
and repeated failures have led to the
assertion that a successful cotton
picker is an' impossibility .
A gentleman who has seen one work
declares that it is an absolute success.
It is made by the-American Cotton
Picker Company j of x' Pittsburg, and
Augus Campbell is the inventor. The
gentleman in question drove out to the
field where the machine was in opera
tion saw it work and reached the
above conclusion. He comes from the
cotton growing district and knows the
industry thoroughly. His . opinion is
therefore worthy of consideration.
There are three requisites of the suc
cessful cotton picker which this ma
chine has been shown practically to
possess:
1. It does" not injure the green
stock.
2. The sample of cotton picked by
it is good; strict middling so far as
trash is concerned.
3. The percentage of cotton gather
ed in passing is large. It only re
quires passing over a row twice to
gather the greater part of the cotton.
The cotton is gathered and put into
sacks by the machine -without manual
aid.
The capacity of the picker is depen
dent entirely upon the amount of
ground two horses can cover in a day
by passing over- each row twice and
upon the quantity of cotton that is
pen ready for picking.
As yet though the cost of the ma-
chine is too great for it to come into
general use. . .
Cheap Gas.
Since October 1st, 1897, and for
ward, illuminating gas furnished at
$2 per thousand feet, if bill is paid on
presentation, provided the same
amounts to $1 or more for each meter.
Fuel gas for cooking purposes $1 per
thousand feet,net.
