"the memory of the thousands who at : tended. , . " The fourth and last dayjiad been set aside for the farmers and they partici- v -pated in all the events. ' The day dawned rather unfavorable, . .. drizzling rain falling, and for several !.. hours it seemed as though this would .continue. Before noon, however, the i A ., clouds cleared away and the rain :; i1 ceased. Before this time the crowds had begun to flock to the grounds and "jL hy the time that the day's program be M.feifCT.gan there was an estimated crowd of t$f)K thousand on the ground, pwlsame program as that Von the '.other three days was followed, "with the s-. r exteption that in the racing events - only horses owned by farmers were V v allowed to enter.

There are still a number of exhibitein the poultry and live stock buildings to be returned to their owners and this will be done today and the prize winners will be an nounced. "The Fair has been a success, a -big success, and it is due entirely to the persistent efforts of the Board of Di- rectors and the people of the entire ' section of Eastern North Carolina who ' -so readily came to their aid with co-operation. When the Fair Association was first organized there were mazy skeptics who predicted that the Fair would not materialize. However, a has been seen, their prophecies did not come true. There was much hard work in getting 1?" hc;Fiar in readiness by the latter part Mfcf October but Mr. Clyde Eby, president ' of the association and Mr. I.

Snowden Stumbles and Falls In Front of Approaching Locomotive. , BODY IS FEARFULLY MANGLED In Norfolk Southern Service For Number of Years and a Valued Employe. Passengers on the train from Nor folk yesterday afternoon told of a horrible accident which occured yester day morning at Snowden, a station on the Norfolk Soutl ei road between Elizabeth City and Norfolk and in which Mr. M. H. Snowden, ticket agent at that place, lost his life. From the few details that could be learned it seems that Mr, Snowden had gone out to give the engineer of the Norfolk bound train his orders. After doing this, some matters at the opposite end of the yard caused him to walk up the track in that direction. During the meantime the train had begun to move and in attempting to get off the track Mr Snowden stumbled and fell and before, he .could arise the engine struck him. ' '-The cngiaeereppod JUis engine as soon as possible bat not jter fore the body had been horribly mangled Death followed within a few1 minutes Mr. Snowden waj for several years the ticket agent at Elizabeth City and was a valued employe of the company. MISLEADING. Mr. Rogers Calls Attention to Card From KItchin Headquarters. Friends of Senator Simmons yester day received from Mr. Simmons' man ager, Hon. S. L. Rogers, a circular. letter calling attention to a post card said to have been issued from Kitchin headquarters and intended to injure Senator Simmons among the voters in the Western part of the State. Mr Rogers writes: "1 have in my possession a post card issued from Kitchin headquarters, with the photograph of Covernor Kitchin on it. This post card, among other things contains the following words in writing, signed by a Kitchin supporter: 'The people of western N. C. , are not going to send a man to the Senate who gets millions to dig agricultural ditches in the 1st. and 3rd." districts and nothing for Western N. C. "This post card is mailed in the Western part of the State, and it is evident that the-supporters of Gover nor Kitchin are promising the Western people that if they will defeat Senator Simmons the work which Senator Sim mons has done for the East, with refer ence to agricultural drainage, and other matters affecting the farmers, will be discontinued Every voter should con sider this question before casting his vote against Senator Simmons." A BLUFF PROBABLY. Remarking upon the report that President Taft is "optimistic" over the election outcome, the Kansas City Star says that is real optimism. It looks more like putting .up a bluff. If it is not, the President has not been taking any note of the straw votes. TheyalL show him to be a sorry third in the race. In fact, if tha straw vates signify any thing, they show that Republican party' party lines do not hold the Republicans as strictly as they have been generally supposed to do. But there is never any telling what the election is-goine toshow ezdebt where ihe conditions are so over-. whjetniingly-favorable a they art in the case of Woodrow. Wilson-. .-.

Chance, a white man employed in Mr. Thomas Davis' barber shop on Middle street, swallowed the contents of a bot tle Of arsenic while eating breakfast yesterday mprning at Mr. N. R. God ley's boarding house, No. 25 Hancock street. Immediately after committing this rash act he informed Mrs. Godley that he had taken poison. She sum moned a physician without delay and upon his arrival he succeeded in pump ing the greater part of the arsenic from Chance's stomach. Later he was re moved to Stewart's Sanitorium for treatment. Chance came here several months ago from Macon. Ga., From all appear ances he was a man of quiet and retiring disposition knd seemed to be well satis-; tied wfth his work, f Thursday afternoon Mr. Davis closed up his place of business and allowed his employes to go out to the Fair grounds. It is not known whether Chance visited the grounds but Thursday night he was intoxicated and evidently spent the night in a carousal as his room showed that it had not been occupied. He made his appearance at the boarding house in time for breakfast but waited un" til the other boarders had taken their departure before going into the dining room. His condition is serious but the attending physician thinks that he will recover. . WITH THE SICK. There is no change in 'the condition of Dr. Frank Duffy, who has been ill for some time.

Three Fourths of the States Will Soon Have Ratified Plan. - Washington, Nov. 1. By January 1 three-fouthrs of the States of the Union will have ratified the consti tutional amendment granting Con gress power to pass an income tax law, according to information obtained at the State Department. Notice of approval by 34 of the 48 States has already been received, and unofficial information leceived that two more Ohio and Louisiana have recently ratified the plan. This brings the total up to 36, the three-fourths majority. The income tax amendment grants Congress power to levy a tax on in comes "without apportionment among the several States and without a cen sus or numeration." It will enable the : legislateive branch of the Govern ment to frame ' an income - tax law which will be safe from attack on the ground 'of unconstitutionality and'Vill remove from the fiela of .'politics a stubborn '. issue which, has furnished amnjjunitjon for : ' debate in - several Presidential campaigns. ; . -' , The" income tax. amendment, when adopted,' will .be known? as - Article XVI and will become a part of the Constitution ' by proclamation of . the Secretary of the State.? Notice has been received at the State Department that Connecticut,' New Hampshire, : Rhode Island and 'Utah 'have acted adversly on the amendment. Ten States have not yet -considered It,-' but the'. Legis latures in more than. half, of these will meet ; in January and probably . take action.: k Only ; two - more : are needed make the necessary 36, but Secretary of the.

The main object of the meeting was to offer to Dr. J. E. Turlington, of Athens Ga. the po sition as principal of the school Dr. J. Y. Joyner, State Superinten dent of Public Instruction, was present and delivered a short talk to the Board and introduced Dr. Turlington.

They knew that he he was one of the best men for this line of work rhat could possibly be found an therefore offered him great inducements.

New York, Nov. 1. The selection of a successor to Vice-President Sher man as the Republican candidate to go before the electoral college in Jan uary was the subject of an informal discussion today among members of the Republican national committee. now in New York. Governor Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri has been ad vanced as the choice of several mem bers of the committee, but no effort has been made as yet to settle upon a candidate. The fact that Chairman Hilles de layed the meeting of the national Com mittee until November 12, a week after election, will, it is believed prevent any general agreement upon the vice- presidential candidate until after the results of the election are known.
