and Instantly killed a t tree-year old
child about ncou Sunday. The trag
edy took place in a small bouse in
'lie southeastern part of town, oc-t-upied
by Connie Wah, the divorced
mulatto wife of a Chinaman. The
mother of the child goes by the
name of Llla Hilton or Galther, and
la also a bright mulatto, or half
l-reed.
When bedlam broke loot among
the colored people of the neighbor
hood, the white people who happen
ed to be In the vicinity ran to the
scene and found the child dead.
The women said that Bob had come
to the house drunk and picked up
a pistol which was there and began
flourishing It. One of them said
that the child was laughing at him
and he told it If it didn't stop he
would sheet 4t. Exactly how it
happened "will possibly be never
known.
Immediately after1 firing the shot
l'hifer ran out and started for the
ountry. Officer Barrett got word
that trouble had taken place and
hurried to the scene, without know-,
ing what it was. Finding the se
riousness of It, he phoned back for
Chief Laney and the latter and Con
stable Fowler hurried after him.

Mm, Mr. Barrett came buck and
went to Mr. J. T. Shute'B barn north
of the depot, reasoning that as Bob
looked after the stock there and was
under the influence of whiskey he
would be likely to go to the barn.
His guess was true, for when he
reached the place Bob had already
pot there, sit down behind a door
and dropped off to sleep.

In the October 12th issue of the
Progressive Farmer there are twenty
lest questions of progress given for
a county.
In applying the test to Union
county it is found that she can an
swer affirmatively at least eleven
of these test questions and possibly
more.
One of these questions Is, "Hav
jou a good county fair?" When
thla la answered in the affirmativ
she can answer "Yes" to at least
twelve of these test questions.
At a recent meeting of the Farm
crs' Union It was decided that w
have a two days county fair In the
Uty of Monroe. Friday and Satur
day, November 15 and 16, and that
hriday be known as Farmers' Day
or AgTicuiturul Day, and that Mr,
Clarence H. Poe, editor of the Pro
gressive rarmer. be Invited to be
present and deliver an address.
And that Saturday be known as Ed
ucational Day, and that Dr. D. H
Hill, president of the A. it M. Col
lege, be Invited to deliver an ad
dress.
Now this is not to be a Farmers'
Union Fair. True, it is promoted
by this organization, but it is to
be a Union County Fair, an af-Fair
in which every progressive and pub
lie-spirited citizen should be inter
ested. A great many counties in
the State are now holding annual
fairs and tnion cannot afford to
lag behind in this particular. That
some idea may be had as to what

Now there are two things to make
the fair a Burcess: exhibitB and
contributions to provide for premi
ums on exhibits. The fair Is to be
open and free to all, and it Is up
to the good citizenship of Union
county to furnish the exhibits and
premiums. If we will all pull to
gether we can have one of the
very best county fairs In the State
As to the exhibits it is up to the
farmers to furnish these, or most
of them at least. As to the preml
lims, let everyone who can contrib
ute to a fund for this purpose. Con
tnbutions can be made in cash
farm implements, fertilizers, cloth
ing, snoes, groceries, or any use
ful article. If a farmer has a fine
variety of cotton seed, corn, oats,
or wheat, a bushel or two of these
would make a nice premium, or If
he wants to offer as a premium
fine bred pig, sheep or other live
stock he will be contributing not
only to the success of the fair but
will be scattering good seed in the
country that will add immensely to
its material prosperity. If a farm
er's wife has a fine breed of chick
ens and wants to contribute a cock
orel, a pullet or a setting of eggs,
she will also be contributing to the
success of the fair and aiding in
the material uplift of the county
But above all we must have the
stuff to exhibit or there will be no
fair; so you will contribute im
mensely to the success of the fair
when you enter any of the above
named products for a premium. The
hing for us all to do is to help In
all the ways that we can. The time
Is short, think about it, talk about
it, get ready for It. Come down
wnn your contributions, prepare
our exhibits, and the fair will be
great success. Anyone whom I
full to see desiring to make con
tributions can notify me at Monroe

With the certainty of Mr. Wil
son's election ahead, the committee
U confronted with such lack of
funds as to seriously retard the
progress of the campaign. It takes
an immense amount of money to
pay the legitimate expenses of a na
tional campaign, and the Democra
tic party is railing only upon the
people for help. They are not go
ing to the trusts end protected in
terests. In a letter to the editor.
Mr. Hugh McRae, secretay and
treasurer of the committee in North
Carolina said:
"We believe that this popular fi
nancing of a Presidential campaign
will, if Governor Wilson is elected,
be looked back upon ;:n an histori
cal event of the first importance:
and we would like to have all North
Carolinians awakened to this fact.
As a matter of State pride we want
North Carolina to take a leading
place among Southern States. On
October 15th we were advised that
.North Carolina was next to Ken
tucky in the matter of contribu
tions to the campaign fund, and vns
lollowed by Texas. Virginia. Ceor-
gia and other Southern States. On
October 18th we were advihed that
Texas and Virginia had pissed
North Carolina and Georgia is
Raining. The race is very clone and
we have no doubt that If North Car
olinians were made acquainted with
the facts they would rise to the oc-
taslon and keep the State towards
the front."

it will be a record of which future
generations In North Carolina will
be Justly proud.
