In ten minutes after the Ha gerstown crowd arrived in the grounds the Coney Island Hot Sausage man was doing a business at the old stand. Everything which can be done to make ready for the opening tomorrow has been accomplished, and in the best possible manner. One thing which will prove a source of trouble, if not a per fect nuisance, is some new-fangled whirligig gate registers. These things nay prove advantageous whore gate keepers are allowed to collect entrance fees and tickets both as a means to check against him, but with the great rush which the management antici pates on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and the inexperienced gate keepers generally doing duty at our State Fair, these machines will prove not only useless, but a nulsan.ee. Never b?fore at a State Fair has here beer, a higher (I-tb of out-door Utractions.

Mial Bar ber heard the remark and went to Lu cien anil told him about it. Then Lucien Mial went to the cotton gin at Shotwell, where Alonzo Hinton worked, and asked him if he said that if he had imposed on him as he did on Willie he would have sUimped him. Af ter some words Alonzo pushed Lucien back from him. Lucien is said to have drawn n knife anil cut. at Alonzo, whereupon the latter picked up a large stick and struck him on the head, knocking him down. This happened on Friday afternoon.

It may not be amiss to throw out a word of warning both to our citiens and visitors to be careful and watchful :his week. Every gathering of a large 'rowd of people attracts the attention if p'.ekpockets, Uiin-flammers and con Idence men as well as petty hall thieves and others, wh oseek to survive by ille Titimate means.

Be care--'ul, be watchful, be on your guard. THE WEATHER. For Raleigh and vicinity: Fair weather tonight and Tuesday, rapidly becoming warmer. Weather Conditions:.
