Oscar Spears, Elector-at-Large, is After the Plum, as is Also W. S. 0'B. Robinson, of the Russell-Grant Faction-Bernard Backed by Skinner. District Attorney Ay cock's term of office expires by limitation on the 19th instant. There is a strong, fight going on among several prominent republicans for the position. Mr. A ycock will no nbt bo asked to continue in office until his successor is named, as there is scarce ly any possibility of an appointment be ing made before the term expires. The candidates in the race are O. M. Bernard, of Greenville, who is backed by Congress- raau fckincer. He is also Pritchard's man, and will no doubt 03 the one who will nil the pjaition. Obtta. A. Uook, o WaMenlou, is also pushing tor the position. It in under stood that he was promised the plum by Pritchard, and ho wants tho Senator to keep his ir..mtse, but that woitby wants Bernard, and from all tho information available, Bernard it will be. It is also understood that Mr. Cook bas been noti fied that he can have the appointment, but that it will be under duress, and the appoint ment will be the only aid extended to him. This means that it is just as well for him to got out of the way, as he would never be confirmed, but would be knifed in the Senate. However, it is thought that if he would come over from the Rissell elemont that he would go through all right. But it is hardly probable that they will be able to prosy lite him. We expect that he is like the Hon. J. O. Logan Harris, who recently said that he proposed to stand by Daniel L. Russell as long as thoro was one pea in the dish. Ojcar Spears is trying to raise a little wind for himself. He bases bis claims on being elected at largo, but his ladder Is a little short of reach. The latest addition is Judge O. O. Rob inson, of Goldsboro. He is backed by the Russell and Grant faction, but is in it, nit. PROF. TOMS BACK AT DURHAM. He Takes a Position With the Duke Con cern-Salary 5,000 Per Year. The News and Observer correspondent at Durham writes: " Strange things happen these days. Only a few weeks ago and Durham peo ple mourned the loss of Prof. O. W, Toms as superintendent of their graded schools, and a valuable citizen. His great work as a teacher had attracted universal attention. The University always wants the best, and a chair in that institution was nlaced at his disposal. He accepted, and just as this people were settling themselves down to the inevitable, the news flashes over the city that Prof, 0. W. Toms is coming back to Durham. Well It is a fact He has resigned his position in the University, and to-day is moving back. There is much conjecture as to what he is coming here for. He takes a position with the mammoth con cern of Duke, Sons & Company, at salary of $5,000 a year. The place will bring him in close confidential relations with the heads of that great business The future has In store for him greater things in point of business importance and salary. This is but the beginning which will end in Prof. Toms' promotion to a position of great responsibility and trust A position he is wonderfully ca pacitated to fill by reason of his great executive ability." Fleeing From Yellow Jack. .Mobile, Ala, Sept, 15.

STATE FAIR NOTES. A Letter From President Battle and Sec retary Nichols to Manufacturers. The following letter was yesterday mailed to the manufacturers of the State by Secretary Nichols: Raleigh, N. O., Sept. 14. To North Carolina Manufacturer: Gentlemen: The great object of the State Fair is to exhibit as far as possible the resources and industries of the State. North Carolina has made more rapid progress in manufacturing enterprises during the last twenty years than any other State in the Union: but with the exception of the State Exposition in 1884 our manufacturers have taken little in terest in showing their goods at Stats Fairs.. The managers for the present year will make special efforts to secure, if possible, a small exhibit at least, some small ar ticle from every manufacturing estab lishment in the State. These articles will all be property labelled and arranged in a division in the main building, to be known as an "Index Jto N orth Carolina Industries." It matters not how small the article, all will receive the same at tention. Of course some exhibitors may wish to have a display of their own; so much the better if they do we have ample room for all. There is not a manufacturing establish ment in the State that cannot send some thing. Cotton mills can send a bolt or half bolt of plaid, bunch of yarn or twine. Woolen mills can send a few yards of the products of their looms. ; Canning establishments, samples of their fruits and vegetables. Wood-workers, samples of their skill, insornefoim. Tanners can send samples of ; their leather and dressed skins. Saddlers and harness makers can send saddle, a bridle or a Fet of harness. Millers can send a barrel of North Carolina flour, corn meal, etc. Carriage, buggy and wagon makers can all send vehicles or Other useful ar ticles to add to this interesting exhibit. All are invited to sond something. Exhibitors may 8nd their own show cards, whore they have them. Others will be furnished by tho society. ' The services cf an expert will be se cured, who will arrange these exhibits in the most attractive style. We believe it will make ono of the most interesting exhibits ever shown at any State Fair. It is hoped that every manufacturing establishment in the State will send something, be it ever so small. Every article will be well cared for and returned at the close of the fair, unless otherwise directed. Lat the exhibit be truly an index to North Carolina industries. SEPARATE EXHIBITS. The foregoing plan is not intended to supersede the separate exhibits expected from some of the largest establishments in the State. We want just as many of these individual exhibits as possible, but when this cannot be done, contributions to the general display can be made made.'... Address any correspondence to Richard H. Battle, President John Nichols, Secretary. Funeral of Mrs. Wildes.

Sorry.to Cause Anxiety. Secretary of State Thompson sometime ago received a n quest for a copy of the State Laws from a magistrate in the country. The Seoretary wrote back that it could be obtained from the Register of Deeds, to whom a lot had been sent for distribution. Though unable to get them rrom tne register, the magistrate was evidently sorry to trouble the State De partment further, for in his second letter, he apologetically said: "Hope, sir, that no anxiety will be caused, but would ask yon to foster me a little assistance."

The Colored Population Assemble With a Band to Discourse Music for Them. A special to the Greensboro Telegram from Roidsville says : A race riot at any time yesterday or last night would uot have been unexpected. The trouble all arose over a colored barber named Allen refusing to pay his taxes. It appears that Allen, the barber, has for several years refused to pay his taxes until his wages were garnished on Sat urday. Yesterday about noon the negro stopped Mr. Lamberth on one of the bu siness streets and demanded an expla nation. Lamberth told the negro that he was compelled to resort to this means of gettiug the money, but added that if he would pay his taxes then he could save him the additional costs. Allen gave him no satisfaction, and the col lector walked away. Before he had gone far, however, the negro Called him ugly names, and Mr. Keat'.s, who was standing botweenMr. Lamberth and the negro, struck Allen, knocking him down. He then proceeded to administer severe punishment. In the scuffle Keatts was slightly wounded in the arm with a razor, by Allen or some other negro; he was also hit with a beer bottle by Smith, another negro. At this juncture Mr. Lamberth came to the rescue, and pounded Allen with a stick, and also kept the other negroes at bay. It is said Allen and several of his race purchased ammunition, and made many ugly threats as to what would happen during the night. The white citizens of the city armed themselves and were prepared for an outbreak at any time. Twenty five tc fifty members of the military companies assembled at either armory, prepared to respond promptly, if needed. On oue street a crowd of negroes, esti mated at two or three hundred, were congregated. A colored band was as sembled with them, and for some time they continued to make more "threats..'' . '. . The wife of Mr. Lamberth was in a precarious condition last night. She had several nervous convulsions, and the friends of the family were greatly alarm ed. Mr. Lamberth has been married only a few months. : His wife was for merly a Miss Williamson, of Danville. PaperCompany Case. As we go to press, the case of Charles .

Avery, Jones & Boykin, Ed. Chambers cmith, J. B. Batchelor and H. G. Con nor.'; It would seem that nearly all the legal talent in Noith Carolina has come to gether in this one case. Referee Zolli coffer says the arguments will be con cluded to day, but if all of the attorneys take a hand, we think it is hardly prob able. ' ' A Painful Acoident. A painful accident took place on Fay etteville street yesterday afternoon. Mrs. W. H.J Holloman, two other ladies and two little children were driving up the street in a one horse canlage. Just as they were in front of the market a two-horse wagon, which had been need for hauling lumber, tnrned suddenly, and the long protruding tongue of the wagon entered the carriage, It broke the top, and struck Mr. J.
