THE WEATHER IDEAL

Today's Racing.
The Central Carolina Fair begins this
morning and for the next four days this
annual event will be the feature in
Creensboro and Guilford county. The
uates will be opened this morning at
9:30 to admit the thousands that will
be waiting on the outside. The pros
pects are for the largest attendance in
the history of the fair association.
The weather prospects are fine indeed,
t'.if present predictions being for fair
weather throughout the entire week.
The rain of Friday and Saturday of last
week settled the dust and prepared for
ideal conditions. While the rain some
what retarded the preparations it is
thought that everything will be in first
class hajK when the gates open and by
the afternoon at any rate.
Yesterday afternoon the buzz of saws
and the strokes of hundreds of hammers
told plainer than words of the active
preparations of the showmen as well as
the exhibitors. But few of the exhibits
had been completed, but a majority of
them were finished last night. Every
bit t space has been taken and the
exhibits will he both larger and better
than in previous years. In the main
building will be found nearly every ar
ticle from a hemstitched handkerchief
to a minature flvins machine. On the
midway there will be better and cleaner
shows tlian ever before. The houei
houciishows. which usually do business
on Mondays before the fair, were con
spicious yesterday by their absence.
Secretary Daniel states that he refused
to allow these shows this year.
The agricultural exhibits were coming
in yesterday afternoon, but a majority
of the farm products will be brought in
this morning as it takes only a few
minute- to get them in place. A ma
jority of the live stock will be brought
in rlii morning also. The poultry
building is rapidly being filled and the
management - believe this department
will )f better than ever before. And a
larf portion of the exhibits will be by
members of the Guilford County Poultry
A-riat ion.
Then there- will be better free attrac
:!'' this year than ever before. Three
balloous will race daily, provided the
u-atlnu- conditions permit. The prelim
in,M arrangements have all been made
a n.l nothing remains for the aeronauts
tf but swing the canvas bags into
pinr ;nd fill ?em with as. Two bal
i"nn have raced before, but the patrons
of the fair have never seen three of the
i.iu hn-s 20 up as one. Then there are
t acrobatic stunts of the Cornelias,
n number. And at night there will
1 1 ti reworks. Heretofore the manage-
" "!:' has charged an admission to thej
ti v. .-,i'ks. but this year they will be
to all.
' musk- will be made by the Union
Textile Band, composed of sixty or sev
'ntv pieces. This is the first time the
n. m, i enieut has been able to secure a
!o' ! band.

track yesterday and the course is being
gotten in fine condition. The recent rain
enabled the management to put the
.track in much better shape than could
have been done had the track been dusty.
The outlook is for some of the finest
racing ever seen in the state and it is
confidently expected that some records
will be broken. There will be racing
each afternoon and there are numerous
entries for each event. The following

BEFORE JUDGE EURE.
Several Cases Disposed of In Municipal
Court Yesterday Morning.
When Judge Eure convened Municipal
Court vesterdav morning he found sev
eral cases awaiting disposal. There were
only two cases of importance, however.
Frank Green, the negro arrested Sat
urday afternoon ou the charge of lar
ceny, was given a hearing. Judge Eure
sentenced him to one year on the roads.
Green had previously been tried before
Justice of the Peace Collins on the
charge of the larceny of $10 from Zil
Freeman and bound over to Municipal
court by the justice. In this case Judge
Eure added another year on the roads,
making a total of two vears. The au
thorities first thought the latter case
would be highway robber y but an in
vestigation showed that the crime was
larceny.
Dr. C. E. Moore was charged with as
saulting Mr. E. W. Lyon, but the de
fendant was found not guilty.
Neal Holmes was found guilty of an
assault, being fined $5 and costs. W.
H. Pool was fined $5 and costs for an
assault. ?
Gaston Rackley was arraigned on the
charge of selling cigars on Sunday, the
case being continued until this morning.
R. M. C. Jones, a traveling man, was ar
raigned on the same charge. He was
found guilty, judgment being suspended
for the present. It seems that after the
officer had cited Rackley to appear in
court for the offense the traveling man
stepped behind the show case and sold
cigars. He was promptly cited to appear
before Judge Eure.
Meeting Postponed.
The meeting of the Household Eco
nomics of the Woman's Club, which was
to have been held Thursday, Oct. 13,
has been postponed until Thursday, Oct.
20, on account of a large number of the
members wishing to attend the fait.

There was another chapter today in
the habeas corpus case involving Mrs.
C. L. Petty and her six-year-old daugh
ter. Two weeks ago Chief Justice
Clark, of the Supreme court, directed
that the child be restored to the mother
by Mi. D. M. Smith, of Bladen county,
who claimed that the child had been giv
en to her to rear. The mother claimed
that she had only allowed the child to
go to Mrs. Smith for a visit. The moth
er two weeks ago proved a good char
acter and won the child. Since then,
however, the opposition has gathered
evidence claimed to impeach the moral
fitness of Mrs. Petty to have the train
ing of her daughter, hence the rehear
ing. Judge Clark heard the evidence
against Mrs. Petty today and gave her
lawyers until next Monday to gather
evidence in rebutah Just as the case
was called this morning in the Supreme
court room C- E. Musser informed his
wife from whom he is separated, that he
intended to take steps right away to
procure a divorce from her. This caused
Mrs. Musser to topple over in jo. faint
that stirred no end of excitement for a
time. It was by Mrs. Musser, who
boarded at the same place as Mrs. Pet
ty, that the latter proved her good char
acter in the former hearing thereby
gaining the verdict of the court. It is
since that trial that the Mussers have
separated and Mr. Musser, a well known

C0RPSE TRAVELS FREE
ON PASS HELD IN LIFE
Widow of Lumberman Insists Husband
Travel on Frank in Death as He Had
Alive.
Portland, Ore., Oct. 10. Claiming that
her deceased husband was just as much
entitled to travel on a free pass as when
he was alive, Mrs. John Chadwick, of
Black Bay, on the Hqpd Canal, stagger
ed L. K. Purcell, of the steamship State
of Washington, by refusing to pay
freight on his corpse, which she had
brought to the vessel for shipment to
Seattle.
rMy husband had a free pass on the
State of Washington when he waa
alive," she said to Purser PuTcell, "and
no one is going to prevent him travel
ing on it when he is dead, poor fellowi."
Mrs. Chadwick had placed her hus
band's body in its coffin on the steam-ship,-and
Purcell, who is one of the most
considerate officers in the service of the
Puget Sound Navigation Company, hes
itated to order it put ashore when she
refused to pay charges.
x He reasoned with the widow, telling
her that she really ought to pay the
regular charge, and much as he personal
ly would like to oblige her by allowing
the corpse, to travel ou" free- he was only
a purser and had no choice in the mat
ter. A crisis was rapidly approaching when
Purcell deciding to let the higher of
ficials of the company settle the mat
ter, wired to L. A. Miller, freight and
passenger agent for the Puget Sound
Navigation Company.
An examination of the records satis
fied Miller that Chadwick, who had a
lumber tract at Black Bay, held a life
pass.
When Purcell read the freight agent's
reply telegram: "Let the corpse travel
free and collect pass," the widow heaved,
a sigh of satisfaction and said she knew
she would win out.

House At Seven-Thirty O'clock.

pected to be present as Mr. Justice will
reply to the letter written by District
Attorney Holton in reply to Chairman
Sherrill's challenge for a joint debate
between Mr. Justice and Mr. Holton.
It will be remembered that Mr. Holton
in his reply suggested that Mr. Justice
and Gov. Kitchin first discuss their dif
ferences as he, Mr. Holton, fully, agreed
with Mr. Justice in his views regarding
the trusts and possibly the tarifff.
Chairman Sherrill stated last night
that he had not decided who would pre
side over the meeting. He will try to
