EXHIBITS OF NOTE
Three Welsh Ponies that Attracted
ranch Attention.
Three Welsch ponies, the exhibit of
Ex-Judge John Gray Bynum attracted
much attention. These ponies, are per
fect miniature horses and thev won 'the
admiration of everybody. That they
received blue ribbons is no surprise.
They are the first Welsch ponies ever
brought to North Carolina and their
beauty and graceful line was a source
of much admiration.
Gregorian, Mr. Banks Holt's noted
stallion won first prize as the best kept
stud in North Carolina. A close second
was Lord Mabry, a blaek hanasome ani
mal owned by Mr. B. C. Beckwith. Lord
'Mabry is a Kentucky horse. He is a
son of Umpire Wilkes out of Trixie.
In the exhibits of macninery and im
plements the absence of heme inventions
and manufactured goods was especially
noticeable. -With a few exceptions our
own State was without representation
at the State Fair, The fact that for
eign implements and machinery has such
predominance here and in our shops and
field? must be taken as evidence that 't
is the best. So the only hope for home
manufacturers Is that they compete suc
cessfully in quality and price... In this
connection It was, gratifying to note the
favorable reception and endorsement of
the new planting machine exhibited by
the Cole Manufacturing Company of
rCharlotte. This planter is without a
rival in that It is a combined cotton,
corn and pea planter. And from the re
liable endorsement it has received we
would judge that it is a machine of rare
merit and will prove to, be one of the
most important inventions in farm ma
chinery of recent years. . In its propor
tions and details of construction the
work of the" skilled hand of a genius Is
evident. The inventor is a farmer and
mechanic w;ho has spent several years
in testing and perfecting his machine
and who knows well the needs of the
field in which he has labored. From the
endorsement it has received from the
citizens of the State our people in this
case are not slow to recognize merit. at
home. We congratulate the progressive
citizens of Charlotte who have given
their support to this enterprise which
has such promise of success.
DESERVED PIIAISE GIVEN
Colonel John S. Cuntngnara's Kind
Words About the Fair.
Col. John S.' Cunlngham, who was. for
two years president of the Agricultural
Society and who gave the people of the
State two of the best and largest fairs
in the history of the popular institution,
is very niucK pleased with the success
of the . present fair and its attendant
prosperity.
No man in the State is a more staunch
and firm supporter of the State Fair
than Colonel Cunlngham, and its success
is always a matter that is close to him.
Colonel Cuningham referred with satis
faction yesterday to the large attend
ance, success and growing interest in the
fair
"The exhibits were simply great," Col
onel Cuningham declared, "being fully
up to those of any previous fairs. Presi
dent MeNamee, Secretary Pogue and
Treasurer Denson are to be congratu
lated for their indefatigable efforts to
wards making this the best of all fairs.
There has never been a time when the
people of Raleigh and the State showed
more interest in the fair than at the
present time. There were more amuse
ments at this fair than any previous
exhibitions held in the State. The presi
dent spared no efforts to see that there
were no gambling or indecent places on
the grounds. The outlook for tho Fair
of 1001 is very bright."
It was Colonel Cuningham who placed
Gen. W. R. Cox in nomination as suc
cessor to President MeNamee. "The
election of General Cox.' Colonel Cun
ingham said, "is one of the wisest that
could have been made. General Cox is
not only well known to the people of
North Carolina, but also in the United
States. He served that and the South
well, and was one of the most gallant
soldiers and, generals in the Confederate
army."
Colonel Cuningham recalled an inci
dent in General Cox's military career
which will redound to his credit. It
was during 1he retreat of the Army or
Northern Virginia from Petersburg,
which was made amidst some confusion.
Amidst the trouble and disorder. Gen.
R. E. Lee observed an orderly body of
troops on a hill, with its leader at the
front. General Lee sent an orderlv to
learn what troops they were. "Cox's
North Carolina brigade was the report
made. Upon learning this General Lee
uncovered his head, and bowing with
knightly courtesy, said: "God bjess
North Carolina.
