FROM THE CAPITOL
• OF OUR STATE.
Various Items of Interest Discussed By
Our Special Correspondent
m at Raleigh.
■ > 4
RALIIGH, N. C. Oct. >4.
It ia a good thing, generally
speaking, that"'the Lord did not
us all alike.''
But it probably is not a good
thing for the Fair that all of us
could not appreciate and enjoy the
excellencies of the State Fair alike.
The principal complaint made
by a large portion of the Fair vis
itor (mostly out-of-town people)
vti of the inferiority of the Mid
way or the I'ike, this year.
The complainants had good
ground fur criticism along
this line—for the '-Pike" of 1904
was chiefly composed of lunch
stands and restaurants and little
ball and ring tossing "games.*'
Constantly making their way a
long the Pike were a number of
"conceasionaii es*' who sold whips
—apparently regular horse whips
and raw hidrs, some of them —and
a large proportion of the "young
gentlemen" who invested their lit
tle pieces of money In merchan
dise amused themselves by strik
ing girls and women on their al
most bare shoulders, with such
force as to bring great welts and
even the blood in a number of
cases that were called to this writ
er's attention.
The ladies who were 'whip
ped" in this' m»i>nar suffered al
most *as badly as those who were,
for they stood in mor'al fear of re
ceiving the blows every minute at
the hands of some of the rowdies
who were using them so barbar
ously and promiscuously.
This is one teature of ' 'amuse
raent" that the Fair authorities
should most certainly cut out of
the Fair in 1905,
The excellent "side-shows' that
are common to most Fairs, and
which have been here largely for a
number of years in, the past, were
not here this week.
The few that are here can be
counted on the fingers of one hand,
mud not all of them are wo th the
dime required to enter theiffl
The entire list of Pike attractions
which were expected to come here
from the big Maryland Fair at Ha
gerstown gave us the go-by this
time.
There was much complaint be
cause of this fact 011 the part of
thousands of visitors—cdkntry peo
ple, chiefly, who came to the Fair
largely for the express purpose of
being amused and entertained by
these "fakirs.'"
The writer is not refering to any
so-called "immoral*' or indecent
show. No one clampions their
cause, that we know of—least of
all this paper. The class of Pik
attractions referred to above are
most of them at least, not of this
character.
What is said now in this connec
tion* is related in the manrer of a
kindly criticism; for the State Fair
has no better friends than the Eve
ning Tirnes.
The Fair, proper, was a success.
The exhibits are large, varied and
most meritorious—that would re-
flect great credit on the greatest
State in the American Union.
The racing events (with liberal
purses) compare most favorably
with those of any preceding Fair,
and have been a source of enjoy
ment to a majority of all who have
visited th exposition.
The Fair management have this
year provided one of the best of
"free exhibitions"-the Bicketts.
Their trapeeze evolutions and dar
ing l°aps especially being first-class
work. We do not recall having
seen anything better on the State
Fair grounds in the years past.
WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, OCTOBER jB, 1904.
The actions of the trainecf horse
(one of the moat beautiful pieces of
horse flesh ever seen) is another
free attraction that has been great
ly ebjoyed.
The Fair officers have most sue
cessfully devoted themselves to
the accommodation of their guests.
They are the personification of
courtesy and accommodation, an(j
the recipients of their favors are
thorough ; y appreciative.
Then there is that most enjoya-,
ble of all features which the Fair
furnishes—the annual comming
ling of so many thousands of
friends and acquaintances from the
various sections of the State—many
of whom do not find opportunity of
have been most successfully and
enjoyably conducted, terminating
with the german of the Capital Club.

STATE POLICE CHUM.
At the meeting of the chiefs ot
police for various cities and towns
of North Carolina, the following
officers of the State Association
were chosen:
J. A. Woodall, of Durham, was
re-elected president and F. M. Jor
don, Asheville, •ecretary, John W
Cotton,' Tarboro. being vice-presi
dent, and J.H. Mulliiu, of Raleigh;
C. Hi SWnner, of Dunn,
Wheeler, of Oxford, were chosen
executive committeemen.

riRB UNDERWRITERS* OPFICBRS
The Fire Underwriters of this
Sate, in session here, elected A. P.
Dangerfield, of Winston, president;
J. Van B. Metts, of Wilmington,
secretary, and P. W. Murray, of
Greensboro.; C.W. Jacobs of Wind
sor; J. R. Patterson, ,of Asheville;
J. C. Marshal, of Wadeboro, and
W. W. Smith, of Raleigh, the exec
utive committee. The association
favors the appeal of the regulations
which forbid division of commis
sions with non resident agents
and brokers.
• * *
STATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION.
The fifth annual meeting of the
State Historical Association was
held in the Raney Cibrary. The
chief interest in this meeting cen
tered in the paper read by Chief
Justice Walter Clark, in reply to the
charges by Judge Christian of Vir
ginia, that the claims of North
Carolina that her soldiers were
first at Bethel and that went furth
est in the charge at Gettysburg
weie not supported by the facts.
Judge Clark's paper is an ex
haustive document. It contain*
some most interesting facts, and is
a rich addition to North Carolina
history And best ol all, it proves
conclusively that the claim set up
heretofore for the gallantry ot
North Carolina soldiers is fully
sustained.

DO YOU
MEDICINE?
ireosrs YOU MOTH mo TO MVTTRIONTI
There it no one who doe* not need ■
Liver Medicine occasionally.
The symptom* of Liver Complaint are
well known to every on«, such u consti
pation, dyapeptift, logs cf appetite, sleep
lessness, headache, a tired feeling and
many other* of a similar nature.
Thousands die annually by not heeding
the warnings of nature.
Many acquire some chronic disease
from which they never recover.
Many of these could be spared for years
of usefulness, by keeping in the home
some reliable remedy.
We believe that we ca* convince any
fair-minded parson that there is no bet
ter remedy for the Liver known, than
Dr. Thacher's Liver and Hood Byrup.
The formula is known, consisting of:
Bnchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake, Yellow
Dock, Dandelion, Barsaparilla, Gentian,
Senna and lodide of Potaaeium. You
know just what you are taking. How
many other formulas of • liver medicine
are published ? Ask your druggist about
this. It ia already prepared and can be
taken immediately.
The strength is extracted In the moat
skillful manner, certainly superior to any
powdered preparation known. (We also
manufacture a Liver Medicine in pow
dered form, with which any druggist can
supply you, but this, like all other dry
Liver Medicine*'requires preparation.)
Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup
is pleasant to take, doe* not lose its
strength, ju Liver Medicine in dry form,
and will keep in any climate.
Your doctor, however skillful, could
prescribe nothing better. *
There ia no opportunity for a doctor
to make a mistake in writing a prescrip
tion, or a drug clerk to make a mistake
in compounding the same, (besides a
doctor's bill and the coat of the medi
cine.) Yon can be absolutely sure of the
proper proportion being In every dose.
Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Byrm>
hat been used with the greatest confi
dence and success in thousand* of homes
for 63 yean, and U prepared by a phar
macist of 26 years' experience, in a labo
ratory equipped with the most modern
| appliances for the moat perfect safety.
