(By M. L. Shlpman. Raleigh, N. C, October 1. The State Fair, with 1U attendant crowds and exhibiU th verdict fthe trial of W. B. Cole i WiWi !:3he death of Jamea B. Due and the annual State Carolina football game were among the outstanding matters of interest in the Capital City last week. There was little doing in administra tion, circles, the Governor devoting a lapge portion of his time to the State Fair which he pronounced ex cellent, especially the, agricultural ex hibits. However, there was consid erable interest in the report that the Salary and Wag Commission had received a number of protests, and would -consider them at meeting next month. It is understood that the , protests are chiefly against the class ification of salaries Which many em ployes hold will cut them off from hope of advancement in the state service. The fair, despite a week considera bly marred by rain, was a great suc cess. 0. Max Gardner amply justi fied the trust reposed in him by his associates when they elected him president of , the organization. The many and varied exhibits of what the state is doing, the added midway features, the livestock, chicken and other animal displays and the horse and trotting races were all enjoyed by throngs each day. The annual foot ball game between State College and Carolina, which the latter team won 17 to 0, was the center of interest Thursday, but on other days the ex hibits of the fair received the fu'l attention of thousands who visitr-d Raleigh. On all sides there were words of commendation for President Gardner and Manager Walborn, who bore the brunt of arranging for the fair an.l looked after the mass of detail in- cineni 10 me occasion, ii, whs nun s w ,.. hmp of thA president carried off the highest hot- ors for county displays The verdict of "Not guilty" in the Cole case, in which W.
