MESS FIB HORTH BIGGEST, IESTTI HE JSINGS TO 'BEAT THE BAND. , One of the attractions at the. Eastern Carolina Fair this" week will be H. Zee Darrow, the man who.sings to beat the band and literally does beat it. He waf in Greensboro a few weeks ago for the Central Carolina t air and oi nis work the Greensboro Record had this to say: t ' "H. Dee" Zarrow, dressed in a hand some "untform, was'-one of the attrac tive features .of .the friee attractions afforded to the, visitors to the fair, and the pleasure be afforded was derived more from his singing accompanied by the band than from his handsome appearance. Zarrow is the man who attracted attention by . singing popu lar airs in such clear tones as to be heard distinctly aboye, the music of the brass band, a'nd in his effects here he received unstinted applause. Last night ha was at bis best, singing from the platfrom in front of the grandstand. He received more applause than, any other of the acts of the program and he responded to the demand with several encores. "Realizing Mr. Zarrow's worth as an entertainer, Mr. Garland Daniel, sec retary of the fair association, has se cured his services for next year. "Besides singing for the pleasure of the crowd, Zzarrow made the. announce ments for the association, doing tjris without the use of a megaphone but still in such tones as to be heard plainly and without difficulty. He will be welcomed on his return nextsyear." Mr. Zarrow is said to be the only singer in the United States who sings with the band without using a mega phone. His" enunciation is Baid to be perfect and as far- as he can Je heard a: all one can tell the words he is enunci ating. GETTING READY FOR FAIR WEEK GAME.

It" is true that, a few of these delays haye been caused byaengine failures but such delays have been very few. The delays you referred to are usually attributable to the fact that we wait upon connections' at Goldsboro in order that our New, c Bern people may get home on'our train. . " - .

Among' the articles', to be seed ion exhibit", in the relic and ; curio depart ment at the Fair to be held this week. will be an ancient ledger which, was owned by Mr. Johu"Green,"great-grand- father of Mr. George Green of this city. The book is- more than one hundred and fifty years bid and. was used by Mr; Green who conducted a general .mer chandise store' in New. Bern in the year 1765.

In' looking over the accounts one" finds hat , the majority of the. debts were paid with negroes and turpentine, a'n able-bodied negro " man commanding"; a i. price; of about .two. hundred dollars "while some of them were sold as low as fifty dollars.

' . . i CHARLES i: s. pre T Now Vice President and General Manager of the Sea boari Air Line. TAKES NEW POST ON NOV. 1 It is Said That Salary Will Be Twenty-Fve Thousand Dollars a Year. Mr. Charles H. Hix, now of the Sea board Air Line, has been made president of the Norfolk Southern Railroad, succeeding E. T. Lamb, who resigned some months ago to go with a road in Georgia. It is said that he will receive a salary of $25,000 a year. The news of the appointment of Mr. Hix and of his acceptance of the post was made public Friday when John Skelton Williams, a leading figure in Seaboard Lirje affair, said: The Norfolk Southern is to be con gratulated in its choice, and I have no doubt that Mr. Hix will richly earn the handsome salary of $25,000 per annum, which it is reported he is to receive in his new position." Mr. Hix was formerly wiht the Sea board Line and in this connection Mr Williams says: "In securing the services of Charle9 H. lix as its president, the Norfolk Southern Railway gets one of the ablest and most skillful railroad operators in this country, while the Seaboard loses the man who, morethan any other in its service, hps been instrumental in securing for the Seaboard the excellent ' results which haje been achievd since the receivership. It was also largely due to Mr. Hix's ability, skill and thor ough knowledge of the Seaboard system, and of the territory through which it operates, that the receivers of this property, in 1908 and 1909, were able to lift the road out of the condition of ruin and demoralization into which it had drifted under the management of men who had been imported into the property from the outside, and place it on a sound and paying basis. Mr. Hix started in the railroad ser vice as a rodman of the Norfolk & Western in 1880. Later he was an assistant agent and operator, then train dispatcher, moving on up until at the time of his appointment as head of the Norfolk Southern he was vice-president and general manager of the Seaboard. His service with the Norfolk Southern commences Nov. 1. THE MONUMENT FUND. Contributions are being made each day to the De Graffenried Monument Fund. The amount subscribed now nears the two hundred(dollar mark. After the Fair is over a more active campaign-will be waged and it is hoped that the amount desired can be secured without any further delay, The list of those who have contributed during the past few- daysiwill be published in the journal next Tuesday.

In the business section of the city the crowds at time were So. large that traffic was impeded.
