Thousands of Visitors Visited Grounds,

Years Agricultural Exhibits Especial

With ideal weather conditions the
Central Carolina "Fair was opened yes
terday morning at 9:30 o'clock and
throughout the day thousands of visi
tors stroUed up and down the midway,
inspected the exhibits, took in some of
shows, saw the free attractions and
races. As is usually the case the first
day of the fair cannot boast of -en un
usual attendance, but today and tomor
row will doubtless be record breakers.
According to the past records there aje
usually three times the number of "Flat
ters on Wednesday as on Tuesday and
a still larger number on Thursday, the
banner day.
It tan be said without fear of contra
diction that the exhibits this year are
better than ever before, taken as a
whole. Some may not be as good as on
last year, but this is doubtful, but
large number are far better. Especially
is this true with the agricultural 'ex
hibits. Then there are exhibits by par
ties who have never exhibited here .he
fare. C
Every visitor to the fair will profit
by a visit through the agricultural
"building. Here every inch'.f space is
filled with articles raised on Guilford
county soil. Nearly every known pro
duct that can be raised in this climate
is represented in the motley array of
produce. Some of the specimens are very
tine-' indeed and the judges were com
pelled to give the articles their careful
attention before a verdict could' be se
cured as to the prize winners.
Another exhibit that will interest
everybody is found in the educational de
partment. This space is filled with the
exhibits of the State Normal College,
the A. & M. College, the State 'Depart
ment of Agriculture at Raleigh and the
Guilford County Boys' Corn club. There
i? an interesting collection of articles
made at the Xormal and at the A. & M.
The State Department of Agriculture
Experiment Station has a large variety
of seeds, together with considerable in
formation regarding the seeds. The Boys'
Corn Club has on exhibit samples of
corn raised by the several contestants
for prizes offered by the association.
There are a large number of exhibitors
an.l the corn is of good quality and it
sliow that the Guilford boys can rajse
corn.
Throughout the entire main building
are numerous exhibits by the merchants
and manufacturers of the city. Also the
ladies fancy wok department and the
Kintrv department. Both are filled with
cU'hU.
An exhibit that is attracting attention
i- that of the mill villages. Besides
numerous articles made by the employes
there is an exact reproduction of the
Hlie Oak school with a hundred or
n ''tp tiny tots playing in the school
v?rt. This exhibit caught the eyes of
al! who visited the main building yes
terday. Pacing to the poultry department one
i1-; find an unusually large number of
-ntrip. and the fowls are up to the usual
standards despite the fact that the ma
Wit v were entered by local fanciers and
by foreign fanciers who raise es
Keially for fairs.
Tn th live stock department there are
t " be found the usual number of entries,
the enws. sheep, horses and hogs being
TnlU up f0 the standard usually "seen
at rllP fair
Tbe midway is well filled with shows
and these appear to be of better quality

GOVERNOR GRANTS
PARDONS TO TWO
Both Are Conditional on Good Behavior
. One Pardon Is. For Robert Shoffner,
Colored, of Guilford .County Cong
) ressman Bell, of Texas, Unable to
i
Make Addresses In State.
Raleigh, Oct. 11. Two pardons, both
conditional, were granted today by Gov.
J-Kitchin. Le Caldwell, of Warren coun
ty, is pardoned from a six years sen
tence in the penitentiary after two years
service. The crime was manslaughter.
However his victim, had a few days be
fore the killing. attacked and beaten the
prisoner's mother, apparently without
cause. . Furthermore Caldwell warned
the deceased, when he met him that he
intended to beat him or get beaten. The
deceased struck Caldwell With a hoe that
Caldwell wrenched away from him and
struck him with it. The deceased then
drew his knife, cut Caldwell in three
places. As Ee ran away from the de
ceased he fell into a ditch. It was after
lie was down and the deceased was com
ing in on him that Caldwell used his
revolver with deadly effect. The gov
ernor, says in his statement of reasons
for the pardon that Caldwell lived six
years in Manchester, Va., where he was
regarded as honest, industrious, temper-Si
ate and polite. He has been, a model
prisoner.
The second pardon is for Robert
Shoffner, Guilford county, a negro charg
ed with criminal intimacy with a girl
under fourteen years old. He had been
charged with criminal outrage but sub
mitted to the lesser charge by consent
at the trial. The governor says that
indications are that many believed the
man to be innocent. His pardon has
been pressed by influential friends
through sympathy and without any fees,
the trial judge and solicitor taking the
view along with others that the feilow
has had sufficient punishment for what
ever degree of guilt he might have had
in the affair.
The State Democratic campaign man
agement announces with distinct regret
the inability of Congressman Bell oXJ,
Texas to come into North Carolina this F
week for the three speeches for which
he was billed at Goldsboro. Asheville
and Raleigh. Sickness in the Congress
man's family is the reason for the can
cellation of the engagements. There
seems to be no possibility either of ar
ranging for later dates with this dis
tinguished publicist and campaigner.
A charter was issued today for the
W. A. Adams Co., Oxford, capital $15,-.
000, by W. A. Adams, f . P. Taylor and
others for mercantile business.

ABLE SPEECH BY
. E. J. JUSTICE
Was Heard by Large
Crowd Last Night.
Ex-Speaker Poured Some Hot Shots
Into Republican Camp Was Fre
quently Greeted by Applause In Re-
. ply to Mr. Holton Letter Said It
Would Be More Fitting For Mr. Hoi
ton to Arrange For Debate With
Judge Bynum Butler and Bonds.
In the court house last night a large
crowd heard Mr. E. J. Justice make an
able and forceful political speech. The
ex-Speaker poured some hot shots into
the Republican camp and he was fre
quently greeted by applause. The speech
was declared by all to be a splendid
effort and full of conclusive facts that
the Democratic principles are better than
those of the Republican party in this
state.
Mr. A. Wayland Cooke called the
meeting to order and presented Mr. Jus
tice. Mr. Justice spoke for more than
an hour and a half and below are some
extracts from his speech. As was ex
pected Mr. Justice took occasion to reply
to the htter written by District Attor
ney Holton in reply to Chairman Sher
rill's invitation to a joint debate. He
created much laughter when he said
that it would seem more proper for Mr.
Holton to debate with ex-Judge By
num. or have Col. Lusk and Mr. Thomas
Settle debate the local self-government
plank of the Republican platform. As
to the differences between Mr Kitchin
and himself Mr. Justice said they were
only personal. Mr Justice said in part:
Political parties ought to be organiza
tions by means of which men who think
alike- co-operate together to have their
views
these
enacted into law, .and. to see that'
laws are enforced?
Political parties are necessary to the
end that the energies and efforts of the
people may not he dissipated and wast
ed. You cannot fight organized greed
unless you have the virtue which oppos
es greed, organized.
The Savior of mankind had to estab
lish an organization to fight the devil.
The duty of patriots is to organize,
and with it fight the opponents of the
people.
Every mistake does not justify a bolt
of the party, but every desertion of
principle by a member of a party that
stands for the right, does justify every
other member of the party in placing the
responsibility and odium of such deser
tion upon the individual.
The Democratic party of North Caro
lina is the only means known among
nfen whereby we can contribute any
thing to the movement throughout the
nation to bring the government back to
the people.
The Democratic party may make mis
takes, as do all other institutions of
human origin and set about by human
weakness, and individual Democrats
have gotten and probably will get office
by pretending to stand for Democratic
principles, and then embezzling power,
but the vast majority of Democrats hon
estly stand for the policies they profess
to stand for.
No man who believes that a protective
tariff is wrong; that trusts are immoral
and the maintenance of them ought to
be made criminal, and the individuals
who form them ought to be imprisoned
for artificially controlling prices by
means of trusts; that the extortion of
rail roads by dscrimination in inter
state freight rates that 'build up one
community at the expense of another is
intolerable: that subsidies are wrong;
that the money of the country ought not
to be controlled by a few large bankers
of the country to the extent that they
can control prices by controlling the
money supply, ought' to be a Republican
in North Carolina or a "stand-pat" Re
publican anywhere.
These special interests co-operate to
control the government, to enrich the
men connected with these interests, and.
of course, they do it at the expense of
the people. They do it by defeating the
operation of the law of supply and de
mand, and making the price of living so
high that living at all has come to be a
burden too great for many to bear, and
their only alternative is to die for want
of something to live on.
The insurgent Republicans in Califor
nia, Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan,
Washington, Minnesota and Maine are in
revolt against the Republican policy of
I
protective tariff," trusts, railroad dis
crimination, extortions, central bank,
and subsidies, which are thfe means by
which the people are robbedj just as the
Democrats- of the South are in opposi
tion to their schemes and for exactly the
same reasonj
The Republican party in North Caro
lina is fighting with Taft, Root, Cannon
Aldrich, Crane, Morgan, Rockefeller and
oier representatives -of the interests to
control the government against the peo
ple. On this issue patriots of all. parties
should side with the Democrats. More
head, Grant and Cowles never voted
against Aldrich and Cannon on a single
proposition, and did vote against the
insurgents on every proposition before
Congress, and their votes represented
the views of Butler, Hicks, Holton,
Adams and the other, men who run the
Republican party in this State. The
Daily News, well said of them edi
torially on September 10, "We congratu
late our three Republican Congressmen
on being level-headed and conservative
enough to stand squarely by the plat
form and cherished ideals of the party."
I congratulate the. Daily News on its
candor.
"Cherished ideals" is good.
The Payne -Aldrich bill is a "cherished
ideal." A tariff rate of 104 per cont. on
woolen schedules is d "cherished ideal."
The rules of the House whereby the
Speaker suppresses the voice of the ma
jority, as well as the minority is a
"cherished ideal." Tariff schedules which
make the prices of American manufac
tured articles lower abroad than at
home is a "cherished ideal."
The policy to exploit the people at
home by the tariff instead of exploiting
the world by legitimate commerce is a
"cherished ideal," of the Republican
party.
It is not strange that with such a
party Marion Butler should be a "cher
ished ideal."
Respectable Republican Party.
The invitation is extended to the peo-"
pie of North Carolina to join the Re
publican party because it is getting re
spectable. The Democrats invite the peo
ple to stay in, and come into the Dem
ocratic party because it still is respect
able. .
The question of whether the Republi
can party m North' Carolina is going ttp
hill or down is a debatable one.
Some say that the progress from Jim
! T- i T1 11 r T1 1-1 X
loung 10 Diai-Kourn, irom DiauKuurn 10
Adams, and from Adams to Butler is
progressing towards respectability, and
some think it is awav from it. There
are arguments on both sides.
If it is towards respectability it pre
sents the interesting problem: How far
is it from Butler to respectability, and
how long will it take the Republican
party to make the trip?
If it is away from it we have the
I problem given to the little boy: How
long will it take a cat to get out of a
well if it climbs up one foot every hour
and falls back two? His answer was
that if his paper lasted he would land
that cat in hades.
According to Holton and all his kind,
in both parties, we were dangerous and
radical, while all the Republicans and
some Democrats were declared by Holton
and the Republican leaders generally to
be "constructive statesmen." - They were
"safe and sane" because they stood for
the trusts and other "cherished ideals"
of the Republican party.
Holton does not want to debate with
a Democrat, his record for putting the
trust magnates in jaii during his twelve
years as district attorney. Does any
one who knows his record doubt his at
titude on the trust question ?
He dodges an invitation to joint de
bate by saying Governor Kitchin and I
are not agreed on the merits of the
anti-trust law of 1909.
I do not think very much of that law
because I know that it is the product
of a minority of Domecrats, and the
solid Republican Votes.
Governor Kitchin denies responsibility
for the short comings of the law, but
Mr. Holton and his whole brigade de
nounced and criticized those Democrats
who in 1909 denounced and opposed the
trusts.
I am in favor of a series of joint de
bates between prominent Republicans to
settle some interesting questions:
First, I want to hear Butler and
Adams on the subject, 'Ts the Republi
can party getting respectable?
Second, I want to hear Settle and Lusk
on the question. "Do we favor local self-
government, as contemplated by the Re
publican platform?"
Third. I want to hear Bynum and
Holton on the subject, "Are Republicans
always at war over offices, never at
peace about anything, and has Holton
always got his hands in the pockets of
his country?"
"Butler and Bonds."
Mr. Butler and his understrappers as-
