.'-. . Likely to be tier.
4 In all probability the First and
Third Regiments of the Nortfo Caro
lipa State Guard, in addition to other
State troops, will attend the State
Fair, which bids fair to be a record
breaker. A special committee ap
pointed by the executive committee
of the State Fair has the matter in
hand ' and they are now maturing
plans to seoure the presence of from
1,000 to 1500 soldier boys in the city
during the entire week of the Fair.
The presence of so many soldiers
here would no doubt add greatly to
the success of the fair. The girls
just cak't keepaway from the march
ing boys, and when the girls go the
crowd is sure to follow. So many
soldiers could do much towards en
livening the occasion.
. The managers of the fair have as
surances that the troops will come
If they are provided with entertain
ment while here.
A committee consisting of Mr.
Frank Stronach, Mr. J. E. Pogue
and Mr. Thos. Devereux .have been
appointed by tho Fair Executive
Committee to visit out citizens and
enlist their assistance in providing
fortho entertainment of the troops.
One gentleman as soon as he heard,
of the project subscribed $50. If
our citizens will encourage the com
mittee when the members call, the
soldiers will come and we will have
one of the greatest fairs we ever had.
Maj. Williams and Capt Fred Wooll
cott have been asked to assist
the committee in their efforts among

Devereux are the very gentlemen to
pusn the project, and we feel sure
that all our citizens will appreciate
their efforts, which are Jor the good
of the city as well as the Fair.
We want the soldiers here Fair
week ana we must have them.
Yesterday Secretary Nichols ad',
dressed a letter to Mr. E. St. John,
Vice President of the Seaboard Air
Line asking for a one cent rate over
. ' .
the S.i A. L's system during the
week of the Fair. Similar letters
have been addressed to the officials
of the other systems in this State
and it may be said that there is some
prospect of securing the one cent
rate. A determined effort will be
made to get the rate and it is believ
ed that the railroads, appreciative
of the increased heavy travel last
year on account of the o&e ctnt rate,
will give the desired reduction.

AS TO MEXICO. 7
Some Interesting Facts As To The Prices
In That Country'.
. The New York World of August
2nd, published the following letter
from a business man in the cily of
Mexico, which substantiates the pa
pers of Justice Walter Clark on the
condition of Mexico. The writer is
a resident of the city of Mexico:
Crrr of Mexico, July 23.
- Tho writer is a Resident and en
gaged in business hi the city of
Mexico. He wa4 driven out of the
great West of his native country
the United States on account of the
depression and misery brought about
by the demonetization of silver. He
cannot refrain, therefore, from fur
nishing a few facts and figures to
show that the great New York World
has been misled about the effect of
silver monometallism in Mexico.
No one can doubt the sincerity of
the World, no one can question its
Democracy nor fail to recoghizo the
enormous power of a newspaper
with over three quarters of a million
circulation, for good or evil; none
will deny the immense service you
have done to humanity Ey your re
lentless war on trusts and monopo
lies and your exposure of crimejand
that you are wavering on the great
question of the day, eager to get at
and impart the truth, is evident to
every reader, but that your great
influence will be swung into line
before the close of the campaign in
support of the Democratic uomineo
and platform is here predicted.
Mexican Dollar at Home and Abroad.
True, Mexico is today on a free
silver basis; but instead of misery
and depression she presents to the
world a condition of conspicuous
prosperity unprecedented in her
history.
Her silver dollar is worth but 53
cents in gold standard countries,
but that same silver dollar is worth
one hundred cents at home, and buys
as much of the native products of
her soil as it ever did.
What has been the effect of the
gold-standard countries treating
Mexico's dollar as bullion and re
fusing to receive it only at bullion
value (53 cents)? It has increased
her exports and decreased her im
ports. It has, placed her on a basis
of material independence. It has
resulted in an influx of foreign capi
tal to develop her immense interior
resources. It ' has caused manu
facturing, mercantile, and other in
dustrial enterprises to spring up all
over the country, which have given
employment to thousands of hitherto
idle workmen and afforded them an
opportunity to raise themselves from
the level of a common Mexican peon
and make mechanics, machinists,
engineers, and skilled artisans out
of themselves, and it has afforded
Mexico an opportunity to produce
on her own soil such articles as
these gold-standard countries re
fuse to sell to her except at an enor
mous premium of eighty-five to one
hundred per cent., and sheissilcntly
taking advantage of it.
Has Mexico been clamoring for a
recognition of tin international metal
ratio with other countries? No.
She quietly goes on in her march of
progress and sells these gold-stand
ard countries more of her products
than ever, and buys less of theirs,
and all this od a silver basis. Her
mines are being opened. Smelters
and mills are being erected to mar
ket her lead, iron, copper, silver,
and gold, and her already great rail
road system is being expanded to
connect the Atlantic with the Pacific.
Even such wealthy and shrewd
American corporations as the great
"Calumet and Heola" Mining Conr
pany, with their forty-five millions,
controlled by an English syndicate,
after paying dividends of a like
amount, are now seeking to invest
the bulk of this enormous capital in
Mexico.
Cost of Living.
Does the New York World call
this a picture of misery despair ?
-.Now, as to prices of living, rent,
etc., under the silver standard. A
first-class hotel room can be had at
the Jardlu, Iturbide. or Guardiola,
three ' of the leading hotels in the
city, at tl.50 per day, and meals at
their respective' restaurants at $1.50
per day, or $1 per day by the month.
Cabs, of which there are three clas
ses, the first, blue sign, $1 per hour;
the second, red, at seventy-five cents
per hour; and the third. -yellow, at
fifty cents per hour; and everybody
here - who has got more sense than
money, takes a yellow bird and pays
fifty" "tents - per "hour as per tariff
rates conspicuously posted, in every
cab. "M '''"".'''." "
Sugar, flour, "corn, milk,"' eggs,
meat, coffee, and all similar articles
'produced in Mexico cost about the
sams as in New York, dollar fordol
lar. Sugar, for instance, costs eight
cents a pound. On canned goods
and all staples imported from the
States and other gold-standard coun
tries, if people here prefer them to
home products, of course they have
got to pay the freight, duty, and gold
premium,
i
How Poor I oiks Fare.
In another question, the World
says that it costs tho Mexican labor
er more to live than it costs the la
borer intheUuitcdStates. His wages,
on an average, are lower, but I will
prove to you that it costs him less
and that he lives better.
The bread in Mexico is the "tor
tilla," made of corn. For one cent
the laborer can get three fine hot
tortillas the size of a big American
pan-cake, enough for a meal. This
tortilla is by no means to be found
on the table of tho poor alone, but
the rich and President Diaz have
them served regularly. The bean
comes next. The good wholesome,
nutritious, brown "fr'jole, " cooked
in any style, the laborer can get all
he can eat for two cents. This is the
potato of Mexico, and everybody
eats them, inelucrTngforeigncrs, and
they wind up the mealatevery hotel
and restaurant in the city. For
three cents the laborer gets c nough
meat to cook a fine sopu (sjup), sea
soned with vegetables and rice
(caldo), and after lie has consumed
that and wishes lo be extravagant,
two cents' worth of fruits will fill
him up.
Coffee and milk areas che.ip as in
the States, but the laborer prefers
and drinks pulque, the national
drink of the country, mid found on
the table of the poor and rich alike.
It is a medicinal beverage of inesti
mable value in kidney diseases. Put
three glasses in front of a Mexican,
one of pulque at one cent, one of
beer at ten cents, and one of cham
pagne at $1, and ask him to help
himself and take his choice, and he
will jump at tho pulque every time.
Will the New York World volun
teer to publish this for the benefit of
American laborers? Will it take
facts and figures from American
business men in Mexico, who are on
the ground and know whereof they
speak, or do they prefer articles
froofUie minister of Columbia, who
hoi ds nis tenure under a gold-standard
administration at Washington,
and dare not speak the truth and
uphold the silver cause? Let us
hope not. The greatest American
newspaper says it is opetr to argu
ment and invites discussion from the
people of the common ranks on this
great question of the day, and must
and will publish tho truth; and
we firmly believe and predict that
before the campaign has progressed
much further, the World will be
fouud on the side of the people pull
ing for Bryan and the platform he
represents, not only in support of
the silver doctrine, but demanding
as does that platform that the weal
thy as well as the poor shall bear
the just burdens of our great gov
ernment by paying an income tax on
a basis of equity and equality, and
thereby avert an impedding conflict
greater and probably more laligerous
than the ' threatened conflict with
England over Venezuela, that the
timely interposition of the World's
Great powor and influence for con
ciliation stifled and obliterated, and
may it continue to permit its great
voice to thunder in opposition to
truests and monopolies which never
have and never will gain a foothold
on Mexican soil.

ARKANSAS SPEAKS OUT
Democratic Majority Estima
ted at 60,000. -
THE POPULISTS JOIN IN
Scratching their Candidate for Gover
norVoting for Jones The Victor)'
Was In Every Way j
Sweeping One.
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor.
Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 8. Re
turns today so far justify last night's
claim that the Democrats will carry
the State by about ttxty thousand
majority, the largest ever given in
the State by many thousand.
The Democrats and Republicans
had full tickets in the field, while
the Populists and Prohibitionists
nominated candidates for Governor
only.
The Republicans had no ticket in
the field, the opposition being an in
dependent ticket composed of men a
majority of whom are but little
known. The Populists scratched
Files, their candidate for Governor,
and voted almost solidly for Jones,
as did many of the sound money
Democrats, who voted at all. The
Prohibition vote throughout tho
State shows a market decrease.
Several clashes occurred in the
doubtful counties between Demo
crats and Populists; notably was
this the case in Clinton, Van Buren
county, the plaee where Congress
man Dinsmore was assaulted last
week.
Mr. Ray Coming October First.
Mr. Johii E. Ray, the newly elected
Principal of the Deaf and Dumb In
stitution has accepted the position
and he writes that he will be here
October first. Mr. Ray will be ac
companied by his family.
Mr. Ray's election has been highly
commended. He is one of the fore
most sign language instructors in
the country having been at the head
of some of the leading blind institu
tions in the country. Only a few
ftiqirlhs ago, Mr. Ray refused to ac
cept the principalship of possibly
the leading blind institution in
America, which was tendered him.
His love for his native Stato promp
ted him to accept the principalship
of our own institution.
Haywood Bros. Minstrel llcrc.
Haywood Bros. Minstrels arrived
in the city Sunday after having
made a most successful tour of the
leading towns in Eastern Carolina.
The boys met with great success
every where they went. Their ad
vance agent, Mr. John Glennan left
them to accept a position with Cleve
land's Minstrels and this caused an
interruption of several days.
Mr. Upchurch will start hisorga-
nization on the road in a few days.
He has hundreds of requests to give
another performance before starting
out again.
Bosh Uashanah.
With the orthodox congregations
the observance of Rosh Hashanah or
the Hebrew new year extends over
two days, with services on Tuesday
and Wednesday mornings, but with
the more progressive congregations
it will end on Tuesday evening.
New Year's Day is called Rosh
Hashanah in the Hebrew tongue.
Around it has clustered a number of
interesting customs and obser
vances. It is the beginning of a
penitential season, a season for re
flection and self-examination, and
every faithful Hebrew is expected
to prepare himself by prayer and
attendance at the synagogue for the
Day of Atonement, which comes ten
days after Rosh Hashanah.

Well, let him stay up and the voters

The Fight Hells.
The novelty of a steamship turn
ing completely over in mid ocean
and the passengers still remaining
right side up, is certainly a very
laughable conceit. The Byrne
Brothers, who appear at the Acad
emy of Music tonight in Eight Bells
are doubtless aware of this feature
as a fun-maker when they embodied
it in their curious spectacular pro
duction by that name. The Byrnes
have also retained all the best fea
tures of the old skit which was
funny. These include the ship
scene, the boarding school action,
and tho comical horse and the stage
coach horse-play. As everybody
knows, the brothers are great acro
bats and as supple as eels.
The Other Man's Wife.
Every one who has seen the clever
comedy work of Bert Coote in "The
Nevv Boy" will be pleased to have
an opportunity of seeing him in a
new play at the Academy of Music
on Friday night, Sept. 11, entitled
"The Other Man's Wife. " Associa
ted with him in the production is
the well known California comedian,
Nick Long. The plot is very
amusing.
A Social Meeting Last Evening.
Last evening there was a ''social
meeting" in the lecture rooms of the
First Baptist Church given under
the direction of the Young People's
League. The evening was very en
jovably spent by a very large num
ber of people. Appropriate exer
cises, consistingof charming musical
selections both vocal and instru
mental, short talks by members,
recitations and the like were had.
The opening address was made by
Mr. J. W. Bailey, the talented young
editor of the Biblical Recorder. Mr.
J. D. Bousball made some interest
ing remarks and Dr. Hubert Royster
recited "Casey," which was one of
the most pleasing features of the
evening. - -

yesterday afterHQ.-"? paper, have

men who are just from Hamlet.
The Charlotte Observer gives the
following particulars:
' It seems that Mrs. Womble was
with her husband, who was drinky
and unable to manage himself. He
sat down by the road and presently
the two negroes came along. They
began to pick a fuss with Mr. Wo.n
ble, and ended by knocking him out.
They then, taking Mrs. Womble by
the band, pulled her through the
woods to a secluded sjot, where one
of the fiends accomplished h's pur
pose. After this she was carried
further and outraged by the other.
Then they left her. .
Making her way back to a neigh
bor's house near town she told her
story, and the alarm was given. It
was reported that the negroes had
gone towards Rockingham. Yester
day morning, the excitement had
grown to such a pitch that what was
thought to be a lynching party
boarded the train for Rockingham.
They said they intended bringing
the suspects back to Rockingham.
There is no clue to one of the ne
groes, as Mrs. Womble recognized
neither, but suspicion attaches to
one Joe Bogan,of Wadesboro, as one
of the perpetrators,
Mrs. Womble is a poor but estima
ble woman of abot 23 years of age.
She has been working on Mr. Paul
Smith's place, near here, and Mr. C.
C. Smith, his brother, is doing all
he can to overtake the guilty parties.

Dockery to be Pulled Down
Unceremoniously.
PRITCHARD, RUSSELL
Pearson, Walser and Other Prominent
Republicans Here Reynolds Lile'y
to Succeed Dockery- Speaking
Tonight.
The Republican State executive
committee will meet this afternoon
at 4:30 in the rooms at Republican ,
headquarters over .ihcAcademy, of
Music building. The meeting was
called more especially for theu,
purpose of pulling Colonel Oliver
H. Dockery from the Republican
ticket and incidentally to name a
candidate for Lt. Governor to super
cede Col. Dockery.
Republicans generally are anxious
that Col. Dockery shall be taken off
the ticket since he delivered his
famous utterances at Wadesb )ro,
though there are a few original
Dockery men who oppose it. The
Republicans do not appear to be
angered because of Col. Dockery 's
declaration for silver, but his un
wantoned attacks on Judge Russell
and the party in general is what has
reled them.
While there was a rumor last
night and early this morning that
the Lieutenant Governorship would
be tendered J. F. Mewborne, the
Populist Senator from Lenoir, it.
seems now that a Republican will
be chosen and Charles Reynolds, of
Winston, appears to be the lucky
man.
Marshal Mott, whom the ladies
call a dream, could in all probabil
ity pull the vacancy his way if be
desired. But '"Marsh'' already has
encouragement in the way of a so-
licitorship and the argument is used
that he would be forced to resign,
and Governor Carr would get the
opportunity of appointing his sue
cessor. Young Mott may be the
man, though. The only other as
pirant is Charley Harris, of Jack
son county. The chances are that
Mr. Harris will remain in retire
ment. It is hardly expected that
any further business will be trans
acted, which the public is entitled
to.
Prominent Republicans began to
arrive this morning. Senator Pritch
ard, as did Judge D L Russell, who
swooped down on us from Washing
ton came in early. Others here are
Congressman Pearson, Speaker Zeb
Vance Walser, Marshal Mott, E C
Duncan, P T Massy, J W C Long,
H S Harkins, R O Patterson and H
L Grant. Chairman Holton is ex
pected this afternoon.
The members of the committee are:
M L Mott, H L Grant, R O Patter

Dancy, AR Middleton, S A Blount,
R J Lewis, Robt Hancock, P T' Mas

kins. Maj. Grant has ordered a large
banner with likenesses of McKinley

across Martin Street. The banner
will be a very large one and Chair

Secretary Hyams is very inquisi-
tive about the Democatic camnaiurn
