A Bad State of Affairs.
The people of the South are
beinj deceived in the purchase
of imitation medicines. It's
poor consolation to a sick man
to he told that the medicine
olVered him certainly won't do
him any harm. Wrong; it
will do great harm. It allows
the disease to progress in
stead of stopping it, and this
is most because the disease
will soon be beyond cure. This
is the best reason why you
should be sure to get the right
medicine. Don't risk your
health in trying any of the
many Liver Medicines which
have sprung up in the South
to be sold in place of Simmons
Liver Regulator, put up by J.
1 1. Zeilin& Co.. with the Red
X on every package:. This was
the medicine of your fathers,
and they lived long. Have
nothing to do with anything
else, or any druggist or dealer
who would persuade you that
the many imitations under dif
ferent names are just as good.
It's not true. The people who

THE STATE FAIR.
A GREAT EVENT PROMISED.
The Programs Arranged List of Mar
shals Appointed--Many Interesting
Attractions and Exhibits Secured
A Few of These Named.
The greatest success ever attained by
the North Carolina State Fair is assured
for 1894 (October 23, 24, 25, 26th) if
weather conditions prove favorable.
There is a genuine and wide spread
State interest in it. Each succeeding
flay adds something.
The agricultural, stock and poultry
exhibits will surpass anything ever
seen in North Carolina and perhaps
in the South.
Among the prominent exhibitors
will be the widely known Glencoe
farm of Onslow county ; the Alamance
farm of Alamance ; the Vanderbilt
estate of Buncombe ; the Hege poultry
yardsof Forsythe ; the Osceola poultry
yards of Craven ; the floral Gardens
of H. Steinmetz ; the Occonneeche farm
of Orange ; the Sedgcfield stock farms
of Forsythe, and other prominent farms
almost without end.
The race purses are larger than ever
before, aggregating $2,600. Already
the entries show horses of note, speed
and reputation from Maryland, Ken
tucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, District
of Columbia, North and South Caro
lina. All classes are filled, and the
racing will be the most enthusiastic
and exciting ever seen in North Caro
lina. Varied and amusing side attractions
are already booked in great profusion.
Among them are :
Chase's great Cyclorama of the
Battle of Gettysburg ; the famous
dancing girls, from the World's Fair
and " Paris by Gaslight ;" Kurd's
World's Museum ; Mille La Mar, the
mysterious Mind Reader, and Francis
Morrisey, the King of Occultism ;
Sherry's wonderful " Working World ;"
Prof. De Cooper and his wonderful
dog " Fitzsimmons," both of whom
will make wonder exciting balloon
ascensions every day, both descending
to the earth by parachute. Besides
the specialties there will be numerous
other features of interest.
Each succeeding week adds in
creased proofs that the coming Fair
will be one which will delight every
North Carolinian. In addition to the
large volume of correspondence which
brings advices of extensive and elegant
exhibits, letters are being received
from all parts of the State in which
people express appreciation of the work
btin done to promote the success of
the Fair and their intention to attend it.
The list of attractions is rapidly
growing, and already include such
novelties as the Bohemian Glass
Blowers; noted mind readers and
mesmerist; European Novelty and
Trained animal show, besides novelty
jewelry workers, aviaries and the like.
Entries and announcements of
entries received to date already exceed
the list of any previous fair held.
The intellectual and practical pro
gram will be replete with interest and
valuable information. The racing will
far surpass anything ever seen in North
Carolina, and will perhaps equal any
speed contest ever held in the South.
Mr. V. T. Carter, the turf editor of
the Richmond limes, has been en
gaged to act as Starting Judge in all
races.
The time for testing milch cows for
the first prem. of 40, second preni.
$25, and third prem. of 15 under
conditions named in the premium list
is extended to October the 151I1.
This is an unusual and very valuable
feature of the fair, and parlies interested
in the value of milch kine should take
special notice of the provisions of the
test.
A vigorous and interesting program
has been arranged for Education Day.
Col. J. H. Holt, Chief Marshal of
the State rair, has appointed a corps
of 160 assistants from every section of
the State, all of whom have accepted
the appointment and have notified him
that they will be present at the fair.
More than 300 prominent farmers
in the State have expressed by kite
their intention of making exhibits at
the fair in all the departments.
The poultry exhibit this year will be
a special feature. The society has over
300 new and improved wire covered
exhibition coops, all of which have
already been engaged. Besides these
a number of exhibitors will supply their
own coops. The exhibition of game
fowls will be superb, and the display
of pet stock will be something that
will please and delight everybody.
Numerous additions and improve
ments are being made at the fair
rounds to supply accommodations
and space applied for by exhibitors.
A new feature of the fair this year
will be practical lectures and essays on
economic subjects by competent
speakers in Commons Hall at night.
Dr. H. B. Battle, Director of the State
Experiment Station, will lecture on
"Fertilisers;" R. H. Lewis, Dairy
ing ;" J. W. Sanders, Green Manur
ing ;" Prof. W.F.Massey, "Grasses;"
Baron d' Allinges, Green & Forage
Plants;" W. S. Barnes, "Poultry
Industry ;" Gov. Elias Carr, " Silos &
Ensilage;" E. B. C. Hambley, "Stock
Raising;" Col. J- S. Cunningham,
" Farm Economy."
Aarrangements are being perfected
for good theatrical attractions during
the week. Social features will be
lively and exhilarating, including
germans and balls every night, elegant
receptions, &c. &:c.

THE BUSY SOUTH.
BIG TOM REED IS REFUTED.
The People of the South are Full of
Business -Some Evidence of the
Truth of This A Future Most Promising.
Tom Reed, the sneering statesman
from Maine, has recently given it as
his opinion that the South has no
business sense." Like most critics
of the South, Mr. Reed speaks from
prejudice instead of knowledge.
Mr. Henry Watterson, in the Ixmis
ville Courier-Journal, makes the fol
lowing crushing reply to Reed's as
persion :
" Mr. Reed remarked the other day
in his usual reckless fashion that the
trouble with the South was that it had
no business sense.
" The South has within a few years
practically monopolized the trade in
certain lines of cotton goods, and is
annually increasing the volume and
variety of its textile products. It is
underselling New England on coarse
goods, and in time will undersell it on
fine goods. It is putting its own
capital freely into new cotton mills.
From 1880 to 1890 it trebled the
number of its looms. From 1890 to
1893 it has increased them over 50
per cent.
" Perhaps that isn't business sense."
" In the year ending with June last
the exports of the United States in
creased $44,478, 35 3. Fifteen South
ern ports, at which within a few years
there have been opened direct lines of
trade with foreign ports, lurnished
$31,751,306 or 71 per cent, of this
increase. In 1891 and 1892 the in
crease of direct trade from Southern
ports was still larger, amounting to
$89,000,000 out of a total increase for
the whole United States of $146,000,
000. Four years ago the South had
direct lines of trade only from Balti
more, New Orleans and Norfolk. It
now loads ships for foreign ports at
Savannah, Brunswick, Pensacola,
Galveston, Mobile, Newport News
and Port Royal.
" Perhaps that isn't business sense."
" A few years ago the Southern
cotton planters seemed hopelessly in
debt to the cotton factors. It was
getting worse every year. Ever since
the war they had been so poor that
they had to borrow money in advance
on their crops, and, what with raising
nothing but cotton, raising it waste
fully, paying big interest, buying on
credit, sending more than their profits
for food stuffs brought from the North
and West, they seemed fairly on the
way to bankruptcy. But this year's
crop of cotton has been raised more
cheaply than last year's, and last
year's was the cheapest ever known up
to that time. Debts have been scaled
down amazingly, crops have been di
versified, money kept at home and
many mortgages lifted.
" Perhaps that isn't business sense."
" The development of the iron and
coal interests of the South has been
the wonder oi this generation, and
Birmingham is setting the price for
Pittsburg on pig iron. The business
failures in the South during the panic
were relatively fewer than in the West,
and the southern financial institutions
came through the trial in better shape.
In ten years the wealth of the South,
reduced almost to nothing by war and
reconstruction, has more than doubled.
In ten years the South has increased
its expenditures for schools 96.53 per
cent. In ten years it has paid off over
twenty millions of public debt. And
to cap the evidence of its business
sense it votes the Democratic ticket
right along. And that last is what
sours it all for the modern man from
Maine."
