''Urging the business men of New to be represented by a float' in the parade which is to be a feature of the Eastern Carolina Fair, Mr. A. T. Willis, chief marshal of the Fair, says: "The marvelous success of county fairs during the past few hears has given, these exhibitions a place of no considerable importance in the mercan tile world. Merchants have readily come to recognize in them means of advertising to the greatest number at the smallest proportionate expenditure, and eaeh year sees more cities inaugu rating these popular institutions. The county fair is not only intended to attract temporary crowds to a town, but to make the town popular with the fanqiQgiind outlying community tri butary to it. Many farmers live within reach of two, "or perhaps three towns; but the enterprising town the one that entertains the fawner with fairs, is supposed to be thereafter favored with the largest share of the trade. Thp day the Eastern Carolina Fair parade moves through the srteets of New Bern, over ten thousand people will be on the streets viewing it. The mercahnt who has a float in this parade will be advertised to these people and at an expenditure trilling in comparison with what it would cost to reach ten thousand people in any other way. Boost Eastern Carolina! It will help you." . $ ' yUlWfr CffFECT OF ATTEMPTED ASSAS SINATION ON MR. ROOSE VELT'S CANDIDACY. After indulging,, the hope that Col Roosevelt'ftdliiij'!-will speedily heal and that fie will be none the worse for it, one inevitably turns to the effect of the attempted assassination on his can didacy for the Presidency. With the average candidate such an attempt woulo Jju,;W$jlrosting effect. Men -sympathize with The object of a foul and murderous attack and they . vote as they feel or as a practical token of their feeling. But there are complicating circum stances in the case of Mr. Roosevelt which tend to interfere with the opera tion of thegeileral rule. For example it wa;vnj6nstant dwelling on the third terra -as President as sought by Mr. Roosevelt that turned the head of Schrank. Will not admirers calculate that to elect Mr. Roosevelt to the Presidency would expose him during all his tenure of office to the assassin's bullet even more than is ordinarily the case with Presidents? Again, was there not a sort of melo dramatic air about the former President immediately following the occurrence that will tend to confirm the oft made criticism that he is p. player to the galleries and deserves to be shown that the American people do not regard their political salvation as dependent! on any one mani" And will not this .cost him some votes? The attempted assassination of May or Gaynor is recalled in this connection. At the time it was said that it mignt result In the Mayor's nomination, for the Presidency by the Democrats, as at that time he was regarded as one who might pake jt suitable candidate. But it was too long before the nominal ' tion and perhaps "would have had no ; - particular effect had . the convenon been closer by. Roosevelt's .mishap", coming on the very eve of the election may turn some votes to him but as e , . have ;, said, ; there are ' considerations. which tend to create the impression that v there will be no decided turning to hint .as a resUltf of what happened Monday '". ight' at; Milwaukee" and :in dfactrthat -Hvi:lthe regrettaple;05Ciw ' "T 'skKi'l'9 have the effect of Injuring his prospects. 1 .
