The Colored Fair Opened.
The Eastern North Carolina Colored
Industrial Stock and Fruit Fair was
opened Tuesday under favorable
auspices. The weather was fine, the
attendance good and the exhibits very
creditable indeed when it is considered
that it is their first fair and gotten up
under so ehoit a notice.
The procession formed on Broad
street, headed by the Golden Link Band,
and after marching through some of
the principal streets proceeded to the
grounds. The principal feature along
the line of march was Powell's military
school composed of about one hundred
children in uniform.
After arriving at the grounds the
band entertained the crowd with a
number of well performed pieces of
music, until the arrival of the orators,
the chief marshal, Major Oden, intro
duced Goneral C. A. Battle, Mayor of
New Berne who, in a few brief re
marks, gave the approval of the city to
what ho considered such a laudable
enterprise and bid them God speed in
its future development,
lion. John S. Long was next intro
duced and formally opened the Fair in
one of his best and most practical talks
Lie urged upon them the importance of
further ileveloping these industrial
pursuits Ly brirging together the pro
ducts of the soil and the handi craft of
t'.n laborer. Mr. Long was very plain
i explaining that as a race they should
give more thought and attention to the
develoiraeut of their resonroes and
education, and that every one of them
should join together and make these
Fairs a success. Indeed, he expressed
himself, as much surprised at this one.
It was far hotter than he expected and
worthy nf thu highest praise. Good
attention was paid the sneakers and
they were warmly congratulated fcr
thoir kind words and hearty endorte-
m nt.

was probably the best. There were
squash, egg plant, pumpkins, ground
paas, pepper, beets, tomatoes, onions,
sweet and Irish potatoes, apples, grapes,
dried fruit, melons, etc, all of which
any locality could be proud of. The
pumpkins were as large as we have
ever seen.

Ia tU its department there is quite a

MISCELLANEOUS.
To mention everything under this
heading would bo too numerous
Fancy work of various styles and colors,
quilts, ornamental rugs, counterpanes,
patchwork, mantel coverings, mattings,
woollen and cotton homespun goods,
knit goods, fancy embroidery and
needle-work.
The poultry exhibit is yery large and
contains some fine birde. The selection
was not confined to merit, but odd and
peculiarly shaped and feathered fowls
Some of the ohickena were real curios
ities.
But little stock is on the grounds yet
More will be brought in today. Some
of the hogs were fine, but the cattle and
horses only medium.
From a general standpoint the ex
hibit is a good one, and far beyond our
expectations, and is what ougbt to be
the foundation of building up an an
nual exhibition among the colored peo
pie of this section. They should be en
oouraged in the undertaking by the
white people, ana we hope to see more
of them in attendance.

Profitable North Carolina Fruit.
We giva below two extracts from
State papers. They give some idea of
how North Carolina fruit raising can be
made to pay. The first is a statement
of Mr. W. P. Williamson in the State
Chronicle. He says:
In the year 18S5 I planted on a gravel
ly top soil, with clay subsoil, four acres
in grape vines 2000 Ives and 1000
Champions, they being the two earliest
known reliable varieties.
In 1887 I gathered my first crop oi
grapes, getting results as follows:
1837 14.995 pounds.
1888 17,948
1890 23,026
Making 54,969 pounds for the three
years, which were sold to net me above
all the expenses of the cultivation, fer
tilizing, packages, shipping, selling,
etc., $1,236.80, being 8412.20 per acre
for three years, or an average of 137 12
per aore eaoh year.
My crop for 1890 ha6 turned tut as
well or bbtter.
Here is what Mr. T. G. Williams has
to say in the Red Springs Chief on
melons and peaches:
Last year the peach business left be
tween $30,000 and $40,000 net with us,
and the melons this year will leave be
tween $20,000 and $30,000.
I oan cite you instances where
orchards have netted, year after year,
from $150 to $250 per acre; of a single
acre that netted $500 in one season
Last year, notwithstanding the large
quantities of peaches on the Northern
markets not bringing freight, there was
not a single orchard in our section
owing to our superior fruit, tha
netted from $100 to $150 per aero the
orohard through. I had an orchard of
three-year-old trees that netted over
$100 per acre.
One Perfect System
in All Its Jin-
tirety.
Editor Jouknal: Objection 1ms beta
rged to combining the Atlantic witii
the North Carolina Railroad, on the
ground that tho North Caroliu.i Com
pany would lease the A. & N. C. di
vision to tho Richmond (z U;i'iille
road.
This is no objeotion at a'l; for if it so
leases it would certainly not lease for a
period beyond the present lease of the
North Carolina road, which expires in
the year 1901.
So far as the matter of leasing is con
cerned, it ie a pity that the lease of the
North uarolina road, m 1871, did not
also include a lease of the A.&N. '.
road. Had the Danville road gotten
control of the A.&N. C R. R. in 1871,
would have been a great blessing for
this portion of Eastern Carolina. It
would have made of New Berne and
Morehead City great shipping ports,
and long ago have introduced millions
of active oapital into this section of the
State. It is not too late now; and if
such a lease should follow the proposed
acquisition of the A. X N. C. R. R. by
the North Carolina Company, it is one
of the strongest arguments in favor of
the proposed arrangement. For wher
ever the R. fc D. Company has gained
foothold in the State, the peoDle of
such sections have been blessed and
benefited.
The North Carolina Road extends
from Charlotte to Goldsboro, 223 miles.
Here it ends, an intermediate link in
the great railroad systems of the State.
Thus situated it is a dependent system,
and as such could not maintain a sepa
rate existence for one year profitably.
liut unite with it the 95 miles of A. &
N. C. R. R. from Qoldsboro to More
head City, and it would present 318
miles of trunk 11 Hth an outlet of
its own to the sea, fc controlling, for
all time, the very uost port, fcr deep
draught of water ever, possible on the
ooast of North Carolina.
There is ..absolutely no argument
against this proposition. Every inter
est of the State, as majority stockholdt r
in both corporations, owning $4,250,000
in both; every interest of the people
from Charlotte to Morehead City ; every
resource of the tributary territory
from the mountain oountry to the sea
all point to the necessity of an indissol
uble union between tha Atlantic and
the North Carolina railroads; one per
feet system, in all its entirety.

Congressman Watson, of Pennsylvania,
Falls Dead.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 25 This

of Pennsylvania, fell dead while stand

this city. He was an influential mom
berof the committee on naval affairs
and always spent his time at this hotel
while Congress was in session. No
direct cause of his death has yet been
assigned, but is thought that heart
trouble had something to do with it.

made for the funeral services whioh
will take place here probably Wed
