The lriw Win ners Mtitl tlt Various Contributor. By common consent the exhibi tion of colts at the county fair last Friday was the best thin at all. and according to many persons who know what they are talking about, this feature has not been eclipsed by anything in North Carolina, ei ther at the State Fair or at any of the other big ones that have been operating for years. Dr. Koberts. the State Veterinari an, who did the judging, said: "This is the best show both tn qual ity and number that 1 have seen In North Carolina. The effect of the pure bred lire is wonderful."

Let's go ahead now and secure buildings and grounds for n fair right." A tremendous crowd was here on Friday, the principal day of the fair. The parado was very good. The presence of the children of the Monroe schools in line helped out wonderfully. There were no rural schools in line, but Superintendent Nisbet tells The Journul that this was probably due to the fact thut the county schools are. only Just now opening and therefore have not had time to make preparation. The Monroe schools were the only ones, too, that had Bchool exhibits. Draw ing, composition and various oth Ar nhuuclt of school work were ex- lilhitBft Ileside the work of the Monroe schools.

At l-ast the Oppression ( the M haniiiMtlans must Ctaxe iu Ku rtHn States The Turkish Army lU.tly Wliipiird. After centuries of oppression of the christian subjects of her empire it looks like Turkey will be com pletely prostrated by the coalition ot Montenegro, scrla, Bulgaria ana Greece, the four little States that have united for the purpose of lift ing Turkey's authority used !n op pressing christians on the border. The allies are whipping the Turks right along. The following is nu ac count of a Sunday battle: Constantinople, Nov. 17.. 10:4. i p. m. The great Dame oeiween ine Bulgarians and Turks is on all along the line of the Tchataija fort ifications. Xazlm Pasha, tha Turk ish commander-in-chief, sends the following dispatch tonight: "The battle which commenced this morning with an attack by Bulgarian infantry lasted until one hour after sunset. The cm my, w ho advanceo chiefly facing our right wing and our center, was repulsed by our in fantry nnd artillery fire. Three Bul garian batteries were destroyed." All through the day the booming ol the heavy guns was heard in Con stantinople. It ceased only with darkness. The firing along the en tire line was evidently preparatory to an infantry attack. TURKISH BATTERIES BUSY. The Turkish batteries replied vig orously. The Turkish ships In the sea of Marmora shelled the Bulga rian positions. 1'ndoubtcdly the fleet in the Black Sea al ;o took part in the engagement, though de tails from that point are lacking. In the afternoon the wind shifted, and it seemed for a time as though the battle had ended, but again the booming was heaul and tho move ment of troops could be observed not far from the gates to the capi tal. A detachment of several thou sand from the Tchataija lines was replaced by fresh troops who had been held In reserve near the city. The refugees behind the lines be gan breaking camp early In the day and moved back toward Con stantinople. The Greek villagers who heretofore had remained admir ably indifferent to events, prepared to desert their homes. While calm prevailed there was a deadly ten sion in the knowledge that the fate of the capital, the Turkish army and those who waited anxiously In Con stantinople was at stake. ARTILLERY DUEL WTIXHSSKU. Several members of the legntions anri nther forelen residents witness ed the artillery duel, which they de scribe us maenifieent. on the sea of Marmora and the helling from height to height across Blyuk Chek- medye Lake and over the plains to ward the north.

Prime Minister f Siii Killed l 4iuiiiiiaii While IMiking iu It-wk Sin p Window. Madrid, Nov. 1 2. Jose Canalejas Y. Mendes, the prime minister whom Spain has regarded as one of the greatest statesmen, was shot and killed today by a young anarchist named Manuel Pardinas. The as sassin attempted suicide and il was first thought that he was dead, but when he had been carried to the hospital he was found to be living. No event since the throwing of the bomb at the carriage of King Alfonso on May .11. 1 Wilt;, while the King was returning from the church after his mariiage has caused such general consternation and such pub lic sympathy. So far as can be learned at pres ent the assassination seems to be but an isidated crime for which ex act motives remain obscure. The as sassin who was of Spanish birib. tame recently from Buenos Ay res by way of Paris. Practically nothing W known about him. The King has appointed tli for eign minister, .Mariiiis Manuel Grn eia ' Prleto as premler-pro-tempore, and the liberal government which Senior Cainlejas so conspicuously conducted for several years, remains in power. After a meeting of the cabinet to night It was announced that Gener al W'eyler. captain general of the Catalonia and once conimander-in-'hief of the Spanish forces in Culm, or Count Romances might be ap pointed permanent premier. SHOT THREE TIMES IX BACK. Canalejas was shot In the back three times as he was walking to the ministry of t lie interior in the I'uerta Del Sol. He had stopped to glance Into the window of a book :ion. This morning lie went to the Roy al palace to submit several decrees to the King. He emerged smiling and happy. As an attendant open ed the door leading to the street a strong gust of wind struck the pre mier in the face causing him to ex claim gaily: Oh, what a wind. We are going to have a bad day." About an hour later his uncon scious prophecy was fulfilled. As he stopped for moment at a shop w iu- oow a man uaneu iroiu a nctuujr doorway. He ran up behind the premier and fired four shots ut close range. Three bullets, as it was af terwards found, took effect. O.aalejas sank to the sidewalk. A friend who was passing at that moment rushed up. crying: "Don Joso, Don Jose!" this being the premier's baptismal name. The wounded man scarcely strength to murmur: "The scoundrel has killed He then expired. TURNED GUN OX SELF. In the meantime Ms assailant turned the muzzle of the revolver on his own breast and fired again. A crowd quickly gal heft d, w hile the assassin was half dragged to the u lice sliition. Efforts of the newly-formed Jef ferson Alontieello Memorial Associa tion to get the government to pur base the old Thomas Jefferson home will prove useless, according to a s'atemeiit of Congressman .lef- ft rson M. Levy, owner of the prop erty, which Is located near t nar- loltesville, Va. Congressman Levy said he would not listen to any pro posal for tha sale of Monticello and hail been advised by constitutional lawyers that the government had no right to deprive him of the property It has been In the hands of his fam ily for the past 80 years.

Weaver, being witnessed by mem bers of the family and a number of friends. The house was beautifully dee-orated for the occasion in ferns and rut flowers. The marriage ows were taken before an altar of ferns. Just before the ceremony Mr. Henry Fairley sang in his rich voice "At Break of Dawn." He was ac companied by his sister. Miss Cor- nie Fairley, who also played the wed ding march. The bride was preceded by her nephew. Master Clarence Houston. Jr., as rins birtr. Mis. ll-nis'on entered on the arm of In r brother, Mr. D.
