Weldon Fair.
The writer attended the
and Tar River Agricultural
Society's Fair at Weldon, last
week. Being our first attendance
there we of course could not make
comparisons with former fairs.
The exhibits at this fair were very
good. There was some as nice
stock and poultry as can be shown
anywhere. The agricultural pro-
ducts wore fine but the exhibit in
this department not so large as
we expected to find. Floral Hall
had a very generous display of
fancy articles, some splendid
of work being among
them. The display of agricultural
implements was very large, one
firm, S. R. White of Nor-
folk, showing over a hundred
styles of plows and other
In the main building was
as fine a display of pianos and
organs as we ever saw. Three
firms of Richmond, Hume. Minor
Co., k Lee and
B. Ramos, had very Urge exhibits
of beautiful instruments. They
made the building merry with
music. A part of band,
from Richmond, was also on the
grounds and made excellent mu-
sic. The Tobacco Com-
of Durham, had a at-
tractive exhibit. The drilling of
the Horner School Cadets and the
Scotland Neck Mounted Riflemen
lent much to the interest of the
fair. Got. Fowls was present and
made a speech on Thursday. The

Barring one evil we would vote
the fair a success, but in our eyes
that one evil more than offset all
the good and turned us very much
against fans. It was the
ling. Never in our life did we see
such dens of gambling and infamy
as were within this Weldon Fair
grounds. Gambling in its worst
forms was rife and in some
it was equal to highway rob-
On Wednesday we counted
stands erected for carrying on
this nefarious work, and on Thurs-
day the number looked to be even
larger. The men running those
dens paid all the way from to
according to the immensity
of the swindle, for the privilege of
operating within the enclosure.
We spoke to the Secretary about
such evils being admitted to the
grounds, and he said it did not
meet his approval but the
tors allowed it and he could not
prevent it. The amount of money
these gamblers swindled out of the
people cannot be estimated. Of
course the people who get
are in a measure as mean as
the men who hold the tricks, for
they expect to get the gambler's
money without rendering a just
equivalent the odds being
against them come out heavy
Yet if the gambling dens did
not come in the way to tempt the
people the gambling would not
exist. It should be suppressed
and not allowed in the fair grounds
where it is expected that people of
character may go who dislike to
come in contact with such vices.
Our word for it, the
or the fairs must go.
While at Weldon we met a Sec-
of another fair soon to be
held, and asked him if gambling
was to admitted at his fair. He
gave to understand that it would,
saying no fair could be a success
without the gamblers. If that is
the case we advise the people to
keep away from them. If they are
institutions to encourage gambling
rather than agriculture and
try they should not be patronized.
The influence of the
will hereafter be against all fairs
which admit gamblers into the
grounds.

are delighted to learn of this new

development pushed vigorously.

the State have been generally in-
in what is going on around
Lexington. Since Robert
was taken from the jail in that
town and lynched several of the
lynching party have been
ed. Governor Fowle ordered
Judge Philips to go to Lexington
and hold a special Court to look
into the matter. Twenty
of the lynchers have been
rested and the investigation was
in progress at last accounts. The
termination of this trial is looked
to with much interest. If the
right men have been caught and
sufficient evidence to prove their
guilt can be had, they should be
punished severely for such an in-
dignity against the State.

Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 1st,
Mr. Harrison's blow below the
belt, which he, administered to Sen-
Quay by appointing Mr. Wan-,
man, Field, postmaster of
Philadelphia, was the political event
of the week. As this is not the
first nor the second time that Mr,
Harrison has seen fit to go contrary
to the wishes of Mr. Quay, there is
much conjecture as to whether the
latter will quietly
low it all, or whether he will at-
tempt to fight back by opposing in
the the confirmation of some
of Mr. Harrison's appointments.
Your correspondent had a very in-
talk to day, with a demo-
Senator on the subject. He
a republican row, and I
don't wish my name connected with
it, but my opinion is that if Quay
that he can obtain the
of a sufficient number of Sen-
or Democratic, to
defeat certain nominations, he will
do but it on the contrary he
finds himself the minority, he
will keep quiet and bide his time
for his revenge upon Harrison.

of North Carolina residents of Chi-

that city to having the World's
Fair, and the
of the in securing it.
The Reflector has already ex-
pressed itself as favoring Wash-
City as the place at which
the fair should held. In
opinion the celebration of the four
hundredth anniversary of America
should be a national affair, and
the National Capital is tho proper
place for the fair. Its purpose is
not for advertising or booming a
special city, either of tho North,
West or any other section, there-

of Washington City against New
