IlUXliOKO, N. C. NOV. 2nd, 18J3 THE BiG FAIR. The Sonic- Ediior, in Company with Mr. R A. Pass. Tells of Things Seen in "Cook County Fair" He is Satisfied that Chicago is a Bin Town Sees Armours Stock Yards Covering KG Acres-Electric Cisplay i.'linois' Good Roads and Good Farming. Your correspondent, in company vith Mr. E, A. Pass." left Roxboro Friday evening of the 20th, at o clock to visit the great Columbian Kinosition. At Durham w had a J. over until 2 o'clock Saturday morning, arriving at Salisbury about t) o'clock, here we. changed cars for a ride through Western North Caro lina. This being our first trip through ihe mountains of our native State it was, to say the leaet, an interesting days ride. We cannot describe the fccenery of this land of the skies, i ence will not attempt it; but will simply say that the ride from Round Knob to Asheville was perfectly jcrand. Our hp st- change of cars w.-is Knoxville, Teun., where we took the E. T. V. & G., to Oakdale, a distance of about 60 miles, tnen we changed to the Queen & Cresent to Cincinnati, and took the C. H. & D for Chicago, ar?-ivins here about 6 o'clock Sunday fvenisig. Monday morning bright and early ve got breakfast and started for the l-'.dr where we remained until 10 i-lock p. m. During the time we ViL-ited the Administration, Agri cultural, Anthropological, Forestry a::.! Leather and Shoe Trade bnild-iisi,---. Of course we did not see all tiie exhibits in the3e buildings, but .-e saw the most attractive and im portant exhibits in each building. On Tuesday we visited the Art I a lace. In here we saw some of the grandest paintings and sculptural works from all couutries. We also w ted the Electiic, Fish and Fish eries and the Horticultural Buildings. "Wednesday we visited Manufactures and Liberal Art Buildings and spent the remainder of the day and evening in Midway Plaisance. Here is where tli great Ferris wheel is located. a great piece of machinery. Did u- go up on the wheel? No, aud didn't because we didn't have to. Vi'o visited the streets of Cario; this was an interesting feature of our trip. Here we saw the ladies riding Campbells and donkies. Midway. wa6 a great place but we got enough. Thursday we spent the day in machinery Hall, Mines and Mining, Transportation and Woman's Build ings. Also the chi'diens building lure is where the mothers checked their babies when they visited the i'air the little fellows looked like tht-y enjoyed the situation. We saw cue mother who had to wait until 12 o'clock one night, before she conld get her baby. Friday we visited the Stock Yards and slaughter houses of Mr. Armour. This, we can't say we enjoyed, but it "was a grand sight aud those who 3iave not seen them can have no con ception of the immensity of this busi-Ju-SB, but we venture to say that they tan relish a nice steak better by not going. The Btock yards cover 140 acres square. On our return from the Stock Yards wc visited Chicago proper, and must say that State street when lighted up presented the most bcau liful appearanco of any street we ever saw. Chicago is a big town of that we are convinced. Saturday was our last day at the Y-air, we took in all the State Houses and some of the Foreign buildings. Borne of the State buildings were quite handsome and elegantly fur nished. But to our mind the Cali fornia exhibit in this line was de cidedly the best. The Electric display, both on the buildings and the fountains on Lake front, was the grandest sight our eyes f ver beheld. To discribe it is be yond our descriptive powers. Elec tricity is here in all its power and it is a power too. The Fair has been a success in every respect, wedon't see how it Could Lave been improved on. We "nly wish that every body in Person mnntv n.nnld have visited it and have ! seen what a exeat and grand country .,f fhia TI.p., t,n. wo. won d ! ike so much for our people to see this country, see how they farm, see what elegant public roads they have why their county roads are better than mo6t of the streets in our towns. Well, we saw lots t people here. All kind?, colors and conditions of peopje, but about the most important looking personage was the World's Columbian Fair Guard iu most in stances he was simply a magnitude. Now, if our trij home will, be as pk-asantas the one coming, we can say that it was the greatest trip of our life. J. A. N. Chicago. Oct. 28th, 1893. THE REPEAL Bill. TASSLD. '"Ih- VKi h-H-s l iil repealing 1'ue Bi'T j.'iirotirtMHg clause or tne Shi t mail law liu6 passed the Sena I.e. Now it will go to the House for oon- siuerntiou ps :t Mibctitute for the Wilson bill, the question there will be upon the House adopting it or still adhereing to the original bill. On the final vote in the Senate for uiuionditional repeal North Carolina Senators were devided. Eansom vot ing for the bill and Vance against it. Of the total, exactly nineteen Democratic Senators voted for the repeal and nineteen against it. A majority of the Southern Senators voted against unconditional re peal. The country generally, and the businef-s worid especially, will rejoice that the long fight is over. We con fidently expect to see immediately good effects from this i-ctioit, but we must not think this move a pariaoea for all our ills. THE ROAD CONGRESS. At the State lioad Congress last week very little was doue that wiil the highways of the State. Yet the mere fact that the delegates met and discussed the question, organizing themselves into a State lload Con gress, will go a long way in calling attention to the condition of our roads aud do much in arousing public sen timent in behalf of their improve ment. Many of our roads are not only a disgrace to a civilized State but are the greatest possible tax upon the farmers and they are beginning to realize the fact and would hail with gladness any plan by which they might be improved. Good roads are of the utmost advautnge to the far mers and no outlay pan bring them better returns. The pofit is all on their sides and we hope they will never let the matter rest until good roads bave been obtained. When the agriculturists of the State, become thoroughly interested in this qileB- toin aud demand that something be done in the matter, the problem will be solved and not before. Nortli Carolinian. THE 8ANXS AND THEIR HOLDINGS. Tne New York Herald, in its financial article upon the situation at the close of last week, speaks of the cash holdings of the city banks as "phenomenal." The speed with which money has poured into them the last two months is "unprece dent." In July their reserve was $5,000,000 below the legal limit. On Saturday it was 12,640,775 in excess of that requirement. The money of the country is grad ually finding its way out of the hiding-places and strong boxes to which in its alarm earlier in the season it took flight. The banks of New York, that stood by each other through the scare to the amount of $40,000,000, thus averting what might have been a general and dis astrous crash, have for the most part regained firm footing, and the report of the Clearing-house Association shows but about $2,500,009 in loan certificates outstanding. The trepi dation that in the mean time poses sed the people is being measurably dispelled. These are favorable symptoms. They indicate a remarkable degree of recuperative power under severe conditions. But even a "phenomenal" increase iu the cash holdings of the batiks, though implying a certain restoration of confidence as against the panicky apprehensions of three or four months ago, is far from mean ing complete restoration to health or a substancial revival of business. It is not the accumulation of mon ey in the banks that signifies return ing prosperity so much as it is the idleness of money thus accumulat ing that betokens a still prevailing hesitation on the part of business men to enlarge their operations or enter into new enterprises; while in not a few instances, we imagine, it means an overstrained conseryatism on the part of the banks themselves. Mouey that is hoaded is necessa rily non-productive; and if it is not to be put into circulation and made a vitalizing: and regenerating factor in times of commercial depression' it nukes but small djfferenco whether it is hoaded by a bank or safety de posircompany. The point is thatj the banks here and else where, which haye weathered the crisis with ad mirable skill and sagacity, having far above i ithe limits of a safe reserve, ud lioIJ- n? in th-ir vitu taa larire nrunurtiuti ; of the money of the communities by j which they are supported, should return the confidence which has ben reposed in them by the extension f liberal accommodations to their cus tomers. It i of course their duty to be prudent, but that is not the best of prudence which turns a deaf ear or gives chary response to the legitimate demxnds of trade, when the necessity for an excebsive reserve has cease 1 May we" not hope that Congress bv the wisdom of its legislation will remove the last remaining Tuviiier to the activities of investment and make the vnt H'Mf"!-'-!

Or. Price's Funeral. . Salisbtjbt, Oct. 27. The funeral services of Dr. J. C. Price, late presi dent of Livingston College, took place at 2:20 o clock this afternoon from the college chapel. The services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Goler, of the college, an intimate mend or Dr. Price and as a oo workcr in the institute. He took his text from II Samuel, 3rd chapter and r8th verse : "Aud the king said auto his servants, know re not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" The text was a most appropriate one and tefitting the man for whom it was selected. The scnion delivered was a perfect gem setting forth, as it did the life, character aud purposes of the most noted and distinguished negro and orator in America. Many in the audience were brought to tearsduring the services. Ai.er lue sermon oriel taiss were made in honor of Dr. Price by Dr D. J. Saunders, colored, of Biddle University, Charlotte; Professor J D. Cliavis, colored. President Ben uett College. G;-eeu8bro; Dr. D.J SaV.erfieki, President Scotia Semi nary, Coaconi. aud Dr. W. U. Leith, Salisbury. it is estimated tliut there were a 1,000 persons present at the funeral amoug them quite a number of white peoole of this city. Ihe casket and alter had been beautifully decorated with chysan tne mums, roses ana other sweet flowers. The chapel inside was draped in mourning as was also the froa ispiece to '-he building. The choir rendered most excellent music during the services. After the services ali were permitted to look at tbe remains. Fr the Circuit Court Judgeship. Washington, Oct. 27. Ex-May or Maxwell aud Mr. George F. Bason of Charlot-e. arrived today and con suited members of the delegation iu regard to pressing Col. Ham C Jones Tor tne Circuit Court judge snip. Leuers naye oeen received advocatiug the selection of Judge Avery, Clark and MuKae, of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Kichard II Battle, of Raleigh. There is hardly probability of the delegation agree ing on any one. From the other states I learn Judge Simonton, of the South Carolina District Federal Court Judge or M;-. Leasonton, of Mary land, and Judge Keith, of one of the Virginia Conrts, are oushed by their friends. Representative Woodard thinks as Mary 'aud has the District Court of Appeals supreme judgeseip West Virginia already has Judge Goff on the Circuit Court, and Vir ginia has an Assistant Attorney Genera', North Can Una should re ceive the next judicial appointment to be bestowed. A FIRM GOVERNOR. The New Oneans States warmly indorses the action of Governor Fos ler in announcing that the Mitchell Corbettprize fight will not be allowed to take place within the borders of Louisiana. The States says : "The pugs, thugs and toughs had better turn their eyes in a direction other than that of New Orleans. There will be no more prize fights in this city." Governor Foster is a man of great ability and firmness. To him is largely due the law for the sup pression of the Louisiana lottery. He lod the fight against , this great evil and from every hustings in the State exposed its iniquities. When the fight became hottest he accepted the nomination of tho anti lottery ele ment for Governor and w as elected, and with him a Legislature which passed the law to suppress lottery, which law will soon go into opera tion. - " .

I Counlerleil Silver Dollars- Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 25. It has been discovered that West Vir ginia towns have been flooded with thousands of counterfeit silver dol lars. .The bogus money has the true ring but it is a little over-weight and perctptibly larger. The people appear perfectly willing to take them although they know they are not minted by the Government. The question with the people who have taken the stuff is upon what ground the ireasurv uepariment cau con demn the moner. The enterprise was probably started in response to oft repeated newspaper suggestions that silver dollars of the same weight and firm ness as those made by the Govern ment, could be made at a profit of 40 tor 45 cents on the dollar. .
