another record breaking event is in
prospect. s For 4 or 5 years each
Fair has surpassed its immediate
predecessor and this year's ex

though it does seem almost im
possible to surpass the last few held,

The other is the great Masonic
Fair, which is to be a State event
under direction of the Grand Lodge
of North Carolina, with CoL Noble
V. Martin, who has had much
valuable experience, in other States,
as general manager. He has al
ready arrived in Raleigh and with
a corps of assistants in now actively
working up the practical details.
The object of this undertaking is to
raise the balance necessary to
secure the erection of the splendid
projected Masonic Temple, to be
bui.it in this city on one of the most
beaatiful sites, on the principal
business street. ' About $20,000
is needed, $90,000 having already
beer secured or pledged-, through
the sale of stock, etc,
Grand Secretary John C. D ewry
has been made treasurer of the
Masonic Fair Oommittee. He ' is
one of the most enthusiastic and
dt voted of Masons and no one in
the State has been more actively
efficient ; in fathering the cause of
the Temole. He has sent out
pledge cards to all of the 14,000
Masons, of North Carolina, urging
all to give something, however
small ihe' amount, in either money
or goods of any kind, towards mak
ing the Fair and Bazaar a financial
success. Donations in merchandise
or farm products of . any kind can
be sold for cash during the Fair,
and applied to the Temple fund.
The Fair will be in progress two
weeks, Aug.- 12-24, inclusive.
The meeting of the tobacco farm
ers last Friday at Rocky Mount was
a pronounced success, nearly three
thousand being present and repre
senting most of the various tobacco
growing counties, Col. John S.
Cunningham presided and there
were many .speakers, aft of whom
denounced the methods of the
tobacco trust, and agreed that the
time had arrived when the growers
-are bound to adopt measures ot
self defense. Several plans were
submitted or suggested, that pro
posed by Secretary of State Bryan
Grimes being finally adopted as the.
most practical and etiective. i nis
plan provides for the organization
of local tobacco corporations at all

Charlotte News.
There vas a case in the Record's
court today,of a 10 year-old child, con
victed of stealing aver a hnndred
(jollars. He was bound over to the
Superior Court, his father being his
surety. In, Lexington, a 12-year-old
boy has just been sentenced to the
chain-gang, to work on the roads, for
12 months. The State of North
Carolina is not doing well by its
youthful criminals in havingonly the
alternatives of the lairor the chain
ganj and the going scot free. The
good women of the State have time
and again urgued the establishment
of a reformatory, to which these
young criminals may be sent, in
which they would not be surrounded
by degrading associations, a place not
having the debasing memories of the
jail or the convict camp, where the
child, perhaps for the first time in its
young life, could be taught the
differece between right and wrong
and helped to a better instead of
vitiated to worse life when the term
ot imprisonment is ended. ;
It is one of the economies that the
State cannot afford to make, the do-
ine without the reformatory. W here
young criminals ane hardened by the
contact who me vice 01 iue jaua auu
convict camps, the State will have
plenty more trouble with them before
it is through. But there is something
so sacred about chiijihood, ere the
character has been fixed, .even when
the tendencies appear vicious, that a

provision better than any it has. for

BILL ARPS FUNERAL
The fuueral of Major Charles Henry
Smith, "Bill Arp," took, place at 10:30
Wednesday morning. The stores were
all closed and the people of Carters
ville filled the Presbyterian church
where the services were conducted by
the pastor, Rev. H. E. White, assist
ed by the Rev. Mr. Christian, of the
Methodist church, and Rev. Sam
Jones. Mr. Jones made the most
beautiful talk of his life.
Rev. Sam P. Joaes tribute was as
follows: -
"My neighbors and brethren, I
count it a pathetic honor to mingle
my tears and sorrow with yon
today, and say. a few words of
sympathy and love to the bereaved
family and tbis stricken community.
"Only a few weeks ago, the press
told us that for five minutes' time
eyery wheel ceased, to go round; all
tne machines stopped, not a stroke of
a hammer was heard for five minutes.
Wherever a limited train was making
its schedule along the line of road at
the appointed time the passenger felt
the pressure of the breakes, the train
stopped, and all was silent on the
road, in the shop, in the offices. This
was given as a token of respect for
the lately deceased president of the
"Mr. C. H. Smith, "Bill Arp5"! as
we called him aud love to call him
still, was known around the world,
and today we stop and bow our heads
in sorrow and respect, and millions
join in this token of respect and love
to one whom they never saw per
chance, but had learned to love be
cause he had. lighted their burdens,
soothed their sorrows and helped
them to meet life's difficulties more
heroically and more joyfully. In the
past few weeks of his illness I have
been traveling from Boston to
Nebraska, and many friends would
look me iu the face and hold my band
and say 'How is Bill, will lie ge
well?"
"Oh, if he should die how cpuld
we spare himhow much we will miss
his weekly message of philosophy,
?acts and love. No man of all my
knowledge had more friends than he
and none fewer enemies. If he had
given his life to money making and
money keeping and had accumulated
one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars and then in his last
moments willed it all to the peo-
nle of the United States, they
would onlv have cotten two dollars a
Diece from his vast fortune. But
with his pen he gave to America and
to the civilized world that which each
man would not take thousands tor.

a better husband and many a
woman a better wife, and many a
child a more dutiful son or daughter.

symptoms of sl:eplessness,lost appetite, con
stipation, palpitation cf the heart, shortness
of breath and pain around the heart and un
der left arm. My mother suffered in the suqe
way and I suppose mine was. an inherited
tendency. At one time I was. in agony. I
suffered so severely and became so weak
that my doctors said I could not live thirty
davs. At this time I had not slept over two
hours a n&ht on account of nervousness.

violet never sends forth us sweetest
fragrance until crushed by a cruel
foot. So our sweetest sympathies,
love and kindnesses are never .called
forth except by the deepest greifs
and sorrows of life. Let these
sympathies and sorrows like cords of
gold tie us closer together every day,
let them twine like the ivy about our
rugged natures and blooming in its
beauty, let all our deformities be
bidden from the view of each other.

NO PLAGIARIST S 4 Y S- REV.
BROUGHTON.
Atlanta Constitution.
I.. Rev. Len G. Btoughtoo. pasior of
ihe Baptist Tabernacle, was informed
"yesterday that he .had been, charged
with plagiarism in his series of ser
mons on Womeu of the Bible,"
which were very similar to thise
treated of in a book by Dr. M. R.
Wharton. He denies the charge with
much emphasis and challenges any
one to read his sermons and compare
them with those in Dr. Wharton's!
book.
Dr. Wharton, who is now residing
at Eufaula, Ala., states that his at
tention has been called to the matter
by his publishers. He does not him
self charge Dr. Broughton with pla
piarism and says that many preachers
very often handle the same subjects
in the same style. ' '
Relatives of Dr. Wharton s who are
in uie city, say tney nave noticeu a
similarity between Dr. Broughton's
sermons and Dr. Wharton's book on
"Women of the Bill."
When seen last night. Dr. Brought
on repudiated a published interview!
with him in an afternoon paper and;
said a great injustice bad been done
him. N
In reference to the charge of pla
giarism, Dr. Broughton said:
DR. BROUGHTON'S STATEMENT.
'For the first time in my life I am
charged with using another man's
stuff. It has always been very hard
to find a man who wovld father any
thing I said. Dr. Wharton and my
self have been for a number of years
the warmest personal friends. I am!
now preparing my seimon for next;

sermon most in question in this
alleged plagiarism is the one on!
Deborah. I challenge any one to read
my sermon and that of' Dr. Wharton's j
line for line, and then say there is
the least similarity between them. Of
course, the Bible history is similar,!
but that is all. - r j
I did not know until yesterday
that Dr. Wharton had a book on the
Ne w Testament Women, with whom I
am now dealing. Last Sunday! preach
ed on Mary, the Mother of Jesus--
the Model Mother.' Next Sunday
will preach on 3iary of Bethany j-
tbe Model a feaint. and tbe next &un
day on Mary Magdalene the Model

book on these characters, I have
never n&ard of it before. I have in
my library Dr. Wharton's Famou$

F.B. Moyel's book on 'Old Testament

Whitman; Moody s book 00 Old
