A Story or the War.
A very romantic, i but nevertheless
true, story is briefly recorded in tbo
roster of North " Carolina troop of a
woman who, to be with her husband,
masqueraded aa a man aud served sev
eral luontha in the army. Her name
wan Mrs. L. M. Hlaylock and when her
husband enlisted, April 2()lh, 18C2,
she also enlisted after having disguised
herself as a man. So perfectly did
she play her part that her aei was
unknown until her husband waa din
charged, when ahe made known the
fact that she waa a woman and re
ceived her own discharge.

couragement. .

all the others are on the roads and are
quartered at the stockade soilth of
the soldiers' home.
There is a strike going on in this

pose it is for lower prices. In order
o make room for fall goods Messrs.
Whiting Rros. have "struck" for
lower prices in order to hustle out
some goods. Read their new "ad."
The second term of Prof. Smith's

able to say to the next legislature that
we have supported the penitentiary
and do not owe anybody,"
THE STATE FAIR.
The Date Changed to October
23-26.
F.iery day now the prospects for a
great stale fair brighten, and the pre- i
dicition made Home days ago that it '
would be a "record breaker" will be
verified. The date ofjthe fair was at
flint October 10 19, but a change has
been made to the following week in
order that fine stock, horses and side
show attractions which are billed for
Richmond may come here. The nov
elties this year will exceed in number
aud interest any collection ever seen
here. Secretary Ayer has ensacred
the services of a special agent in New
York who will look after the most at
tractive features of this schedule that
the genius of the times has been able
to devise. Among other things being
arranged for is a miniature Ferris
wheel about 40 feet high, which is now
at Coney island.
The agricultural exhibit will equal
that of some expositions this year. It
has already been announced that Mr.
Goorge Vanderbilt will make a line ex
hibit from his magnificent estate at
Riltmore, near Asheville, and the ad
vance information from Mr. McNamee,
the manager, indicates that the dis
play will be superb.
Some new features not common at
the fair will be comprehensive dis
plays of the peanut and rice industries
in North Carolina. Particulars and
plans for these displays have already
been advanced by experienced men,
and they will be interesting. Letters
are ou tile from leading agriculturists
in eastern North Carolina stating that
the east will bo well represented, and
everybody in the central section is
taking an interest in the fair never
heretofore known. The premium list
is one of the handsomest and most
complete publications of the kind ever
ssued. Send for one.

NOTES FROM" CARALEIGH. :
The Sickness There Now Said to
be Abating. I
The sickness at Carnleih is now '
abating and there are at present only
SIX cases of fever III t lie lilt le settle
ment. All the other eases are now
convalescing. Several of the families
have moved into the city aud one has
eft here. The kindness of the public.
which has liberally given everyl liinir
needful for the comfort of the unfor
tunate sick, cannot be two greatly com
mended. Tie King's Daughters, too,
have been untiring in their attention
to the sufferers. It, is to be noted
with great regret that two of the
faithful night' nurses who have been
employed at the mills have been taken
sick and it is feared that typhoid fe
ver will develop.
A prominent physician, speaking of
Caraleigh today, mentioned the fact
that what made the sickness there so
prevalent and so hard to stop was be
cause when several people were sick
in the same house or when a death oc
curred it was impossible to properly
disinfect the house. A gentleman
suggested in this connection that every
mill or factory should have an infirm
ary. This seems an excellent idea, as
thus an epidemic of sickness, such as
is now prevailing at Caraleigh, would
be very improbable, or if it did occur,
by the removal of the Nick to a large
and well ventilated infirmary it would
not only be of the greatest benefit to
them but would also give a chance to
thoroughly disinfect the houses in
which there had been sickness. It
would thus be of service in stamping
out the epidemic. A building suitable
for an infirmary could be erected at
comparatively small cost; very small,
in fact, as compared with the good
that would result, and it would be an
excellent idea for all the mills here
which have settlements of their em-
employes to take steps in this direc
tion. Dr. R. H. Lewis, of the state board
of health, and Dr. James McKee, coun
ty superieuteiident of health, on Sat
urday visited Caraleigh and placed
water from the lower well and from
the spring (from which most of the
water is taken) in sterilized bottles.
These they sealed and sent to Wash
ington, D. C, in order that a careful
biological examination can be made.
The spring is most unattractively lo
cated, quite near the old brickyard.
Raleigh Electric Company
A meeting of Dr. J. II. McAdeu and
his associates, purchasers of the prop
erty and franchises of the Raleigh
street railway, was held today at the

Fellows' orphanage, which is in the
suburbs of Goldsboro. Tomorrow
they will meet there aud will accept
the plan of a main building and
award the contract for its erection.
They have in hand now about $7,000
and the building is to cost something
like $12,000. There are now twenty
eight children in the orphanage, all of
whom attend the Goldsboro graded
school.
