STATE FAIR CLOSES
Attendance Yesterday the
Largest Except Thursday.
MANY ARE STILL HERE
MARSHALS’ BALL AT THE CAPI
TAL CLUB BUILDING
LAST NIGHT.
FAIR OFFICERS UP TO EARS IN WORK
And the Official Lists of Awards will not be Giv
en Out Before Next Week. No State
ment as to Financial Status
Yet Made Out,
Yesterday was the last day of the State
Fair. Although the Secretary had not
had time last night to determine what
the financial results were it is probable
that they are more satisfactory than for
some years. Certainly in other respects
it has been a great improvement, on pre
vious fairs. The number and quality of
the exhibits have been pleasing alike to
management and public and the attend
ance has been phenomenal. With the
exception of a part of one day the
weather has been favorable and this of
course added materially to the pleas
ure and success of the affair. The racing
has been good throughout, remarkably so.
considering all the circumstances, and
the other attractions seemed to mebt with
the approval of the vast majority of
those who attended.
The attendance yesterday was good for
a last day, larger perhaps than on any
previous day except Thursday. This
was a high testimonial to the Fair as the
greater part of those present on yester
day must have attended on one or more
of the previous days.
After the parade of, yesterday the
marshals were released from duty and
given a “half holiday” and the band
‘which had furnished the inspiring strains
for the week was also released and left
for home on the afternoon train. A
large part of the crowd remained in the
city for the next and will leave for
home to-day thereby avoiding the dis
comfort of overcrowded cars which made
the journey to and from the capitol some
what trying to those who came and
went while the rush was on.
All day yesterday and until late last
night the secretary and executive officers
were engaged in attending to business
with the owners of the horses, the show
people and exhibitors and had not had
time to tabulate the awards. They will
not be made accessible in official form
before next week. The number of ex
hibits makes this work necessarily slow.
To-day packing up of the exhibts will
begin and the showmen of midway will
fold their tents and take themselves off
to amuse the fun-loving American in
other quarters and the ground will look
like it did after the Second regiment
went away in search of gore and glory.
THE RACES.
There were three racing events yester
day insteal of two as originally sched
uled.' They were in general quite as
good as on previous days and received
as much attention.
In the 2:35 class trotting race Ida C
came first under the wire followed by
Virginia M and Miss Walton in the or
der named. The time of the best (heat
was 2:35.
In the running race there were an
unusually large number of starters but
W. J. Hardin came first out of the push,
Ben Boy second, Mugs third.
In the trotting and pacing race of the
2:25 class Roster, an excellent horse by
the way, secured first money, Firewood
second, Dollie Patchen third. Firewood
won the first and third heats. The time
of the best heat was 2:2t 1 ( 4. This closed
the racing feature of the program. The
track yesterday was in good condition.
MARSHALS BALL.
Last night at the Capital Club build
ing the annual marshal* ball was given
by the marshals complimentary to the
Maids of Honor, to Mrs. Jno. C. Cunning
ham, and to the visiting ladies. The
german was led by Chief Marshal John
C. Drewry. This is the last of the Pair
dances that have formed such a promi
nent feature of the social activities of the
week.
FAIR NOTES.
Before leaving for home the Arehdale
band serenaded* President Cunningham
in his office at Floral Hall. The presi
dent made them a short but appreciative
address. He declared that the Lord
and the ladies had been on the side of
the Fair this time.
Col. Cunningham said last night that
Marshal Drewry and his assistants had
contributed greatly to the success of the
Fair and that he keenly appreciated their
active and earnest co-operation to that
end. He also stated that the Fair had
been a financial success.
The order of the parade yesterday was
as follows: band, Chief Marshal Drewry
and assistants, carriages in which were,
among others, Col. Cunningham, Miss
Florence Glenn, Mrs. John H. Cunning
ham, Mrs. Governor Jarvis. Judge Thos.
C. Fuller, of the U. S. Court; Judge Bry
ant, Mrs. Lawrence Holt, Mrs. Bur
gwyu, Mrs. J. G. Bynum, Hon. C. M.
B u shoe.
After reaching the grounds the pro
cession marched several times around the
track.
A VERY FINE SPEECH.
Capt. W. B. Shaw, of Vance, Charms
People of Middle Creek and Ilolly
Springs.
One of the liest political meetings in
Wake during the present campaign
was the basket pie-nic and rally at the
store of Mr. Thos. Stevens on the divid
ing line between Holly Springs and Mid
dle Creek townships. Every arrange
ment had ben made by the good people
of that community and the ladies of that
section graced the occasion with their
presence.
The speaking began at twelve o’cokk.
Mr. Josephus Daniels, the first speaker,
was introduced by Rev. J. 11. Burt. Mr.
Daniels spoke for an hour on SLito
issues, dwelling particularly upon the
threat of sending troops into North Car
olina to overawe the people.
Dinner was then served. It was a
bounteous repast of all substantials and
delicacies, and more than enough for all
present.
After dinner, Capt W. B. Shaw, of
Henderson was introduced, and made a
powerful sivecell that charmed all his
hearers. It was by all odds the ablest
speech on the silver question that has
been delivered in the campaign, and
won the warm praise of all the audience,
including Populists as well as Democrats.
Capt. Slmw made a tine impression and
whenever he speaks again in that section,
acres of people will turn out to hear
him.
The outlook is greatly improved in
both Middle Creek and Ilolly Springs,
and there is a confidence there that
Wake will go Democratic.
DON’T WANT TO GET OUT.
Officers of the Second Regiment May
Get Another Chance.
And still the effort to keep the Second
North Carolina regiment in service con
tinues —on the part of the officers.
Col. Andy Cowles has been to Wash
ington half a dozen times, more or less,
to have the muster out order rescinded. ,
But he accomplishes nothing.
Failing to influence the Secretary of
War directly he determined to bring the
Governor to his assistance. To this end
lie seated himself, pen in hand, in the
writing room of the Ebbitt and began ,
writing botty interviews for the Wash
ington Post.
In these wonderful productions Jim
Young was praised, Russell was en
dorsed, the Democrats were denounced
and a Fusion victory predicted.
Coaxed by flattery spread on so thick
Governor Rnssell has been induced to
write a letter to the Secretary of War
asking that the Second be kept in ser
vice. Preparatory to this, however, Col.
Burgwyn went to Washington and added
liis protest to that of Cowles against lw»-
ing mustered out.
As a result of this visit and the Gover
nor’s letter the Secretary of War has
decided to allow the soldiers to vote on
the question of “muster out” or “no mus
ter out.” if Capt. Todd, the muster out
officer thinks it advisable.
Capt. Todd was, therefore. directed
yesterday to investigate and report to
Adjutant General Corbin on the advisa
bilty of pursuing the course recommended
by Cols. Cowles and Burgwyn and en
dorsed by Governor Russell.
A GC*)D ROAD RUINED.
An Exhibit of Ray’s Incompetence Dis
played at the Fair.
The people of Wake county who at
tended the Statqrf'air had an opportunity
to see what C. B. Ray. the Fusion super
visor. is doing for the roads of the
county.
They have found them neglected,
washed away and in many places ruined
by misguided and ignorant efforts to
improve them.
This is especially true of the Hillsboro
road leading from the city to the Fair
grounds. On this the macadam has
been absolutely destroyed by puting on
it loose earth and stones. The stones
have been ground into the macadam
by the heavy steam roller, making huge
holes, anti the loose earth furnishes an
unbearable dust in dry weather and
a nasty mud in wet weather.
One of the aims for building a rock
road is to avoid both mud and dust.
There is plenty of depth, I am told of the
rock bed. to have put the picks in the
roller and picked it up to a depth of
six inches and then rolled down to a
smooth, hard surface. A road built at
ft large cost to be ruined in this way
is too bal and the tax-payers should con
demn and forbid it.
WILBUR OPERA COMPANY.
Close To-night With the Two “Vaga
bonds” —“Carmen” Presented Last
Night.
The Wilbur Opera Company, which
have been giving such splendid perfor
mances to crowded houses for the past
week, will dose their engagement to
night with the “Two Vagabonds.” This
is one of their strongest pieces, and gives
Harvey a* chance to convulse the au
dience with bis irrisistible humor. And
he will do it.
The play last night was “Carmen.”
Miss Kirwin acted the title role—the
faithless Gypsey love, and Mr. Gordon
took the part of Don Jose, the infatuated
and disappointed lover.
This afternoon the company will give
a matinee presenting “La Maseott.”
Thin is a very pretty opera. The per
formance commences at 2:30. The price
will be 25 cents to any part of the hull.
THE BLACK MASK TO-NIGHT.
It Will Close the Engagement of the
Pemchi-Beldeni Company.
Little Wildcat, a romantic drama was
presented in good shape last night at
the Metropolitan Opera House by the
Peruehi-Bedeni Company. Peruchi
played the part of Job Jenkins, an inter
esting old character and as usual made
a true to life portrayal. Mr. Jackson did
some clever acting as Vivian Forrester.
The company will give a matinee this
afternoon presenting that old familiar
piece, “Kathleen Mavourneen.”
To-night the company will close their
week’s engagement by presenting the
“Black Mask.”
The prices to the matinee will be 20
ccuUi to adults and 10 cents for children.
LOCKEY AND FRENCH HERE.
Gizzard Z. French and C. P. Lockey,
of Wilmington, were here yesterday to
see Governor Russell. They came by
appointment, to talk over the situation
in New Hanover. The Republican con
vention for that county meets to-day.
French and Lockey wanted to confer
with His Excellency in regard to wliat
ought to be done under the circum
stances now abstaining in that county.
The Messenger says it is stated in Wil
mington that Governor Russell tele
graphed some of the faithful that lie
would be there to-day and address the
delegates of the convention at the may
or’s office in tin* city hall, before it as
sembles. The faithful here deny this.
THE JN KWB ATTD OBSKRV EH, OCT. 2!) 1808.
DUN & CO,'S DEVIEW
Foreign Affairs Affected Our
Markets Considerably.
THE SUPREME COURI
DECISION CONSIDERED HELP
I’UL TO RAILROADS.
RISE IN RATES ON WESTERN LINES
European and American Mills have on Hand
a Surplus of Last Year’s Cot'on I hey
Cannot Profitably Market. Too
Much New Cotton.
New York, Oct. 28, It. G. Dunn and
Company's Weekly Review of Trade
will say to-morrow:
Business has been more affected by
foreign affairs than many realize. Lou
don’s apprehension of war first caused
advance in wheat and fears of monetary
pressure here. Then came confidence
in London, with a flight of French
money across the channel, and stock
markets advanced while wheat fell.
Mobs in Paris did not mean to influence
American interest from New York to
Ban Franeisco, but electric wires have*
made the world small. So the wires
moved a cargo of wheat from the Pa
cific coast, started $2,500,0000 more
gold from Australia to this country on
London account, and the selling of
American securities one day and buying
the next. There has been no domestic
change of much importance, and the
rise in prices of Western railroad stocks
indicates that the Supreme Court deci
sion against the Trunk Line Association
is considered helpful to railroads.
Wheat rose three cents from Fridav
to Monday, and then fell 4%c. to Friday.
But such changes do not represent actual
conditions, and with Western receipts
for the week 9,558,205 bushels against
0,990,487 last year, nobody can pretend
that holding of stocks by Western fann
ers is an important factor. The Atlantic
exports, flour included, amount to 3,-
790,830 bushels against 3.804.049 last
year, -and Pacific exports 825,994 bush
els against x. 320.808 bushels last year,
making 10.007,320 bushels in four weeks
against 19,418,837 last year, when the
foreign demand was far beyond all pre
cedent. In four weeks the Western
receipts have been over 40.150,699 bush
els against 30,723,288 last, year, and yet
prices are 25 cents lower. This clear
ly indicates much larger supplies and
greater readiness to part with them than
was seen a year ago, when nobody doubt
ed the magnitude of the foreign demand.
Corn refused to follow wheat but
slightly advanced.
Cotton rose to 5%e. last week, but has
fallen to s*%e. in spite of heavy frosts
in part of the growing region. This ex
presses strongly the belief that a non
curtailment of yield is possible and will
effect the surplus, more than the closing
of Eastern mills one month in. three, and
the reduction of consumption abroad.
For European mills, as well as those of
this country, have surplus stocks pro
duced from the high priced cotton of last
year which they cannot profitably mar
ket. There has been some closing of
mills in the South, and also some reduc
tion of wages. The frosts seem not to
have damaged the crop appreciably, but
a yield much smaller than has been ex
pected will exceed with old stocks, the
quantity the world can consume.
Wool dealers have reached the con
clusion. with the heavy stocks on hand,
it is no longer a question of profit but
o. avoiding losses, and concessions have
brought a. big increase in sales for the
week, though for four weeks the aggre
gate has only been 14.898,900 pounds,
against 36,394,098 last year, 28,320,100
in 1896 and 26,538.803 in 1892.
The iron manufacture has still a good
demand, late as it is, but the makers
are depressing prices by bidding against
each other, although in the average of
all quotations the decline has been toss
than half of one per cent from the high
est point. But the wire nail manufac
turerers have reduced prices 5 per cent,
and the rail manufacturers, according to
to be good humored.
Jollity and exhuberant health are a pro
verbial combination. The hearty man who
is always laughing doesn’t have any trouble
with his digestion. It has been said that
laughing makes people healthy. The truth
is that health makes people laugh.
It is impossible to estimate the tre
mendous influence of health upon human
character. A man with a headache will
not be in a happy, contented frame of
mind. A man who suffers from a weak
stomach and an impaired digestion will sit
and grumble through the best meal ever
§ repared. A bilious man who is not a
ore, is deserving of a place in a museum.
A nervous man who is not petulent and
fault-finding is a curiosity. All these con
ditions lean to grave diseases, when the
victim becomes not only disagreeable, but
dependent as well. A wist* wife will real
ize that while the old saying that a “ man -
heart is in his stomach,” is not literally
true, it is a fact that his stomach sweetens
or sours his character according as it is
healthy or unhealthy. Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery is the best of medicines
for the conditions described. It makes
the weak stomach strong, the impaired
digestion perfect, invigorates the liver,
purifies and enriches the blood and tones
the nerves. It tears down half-dead, inert
tissues and replaces them with the firm
muscular tissues of health. It builds new
and healthy nerve fibres and brain cells.
It dissipates nervousness and melancholy
and imparts mental elasticity and courage.
It is the best of all known medicines for
nervous disorders.
‘Through your skill fun treatment I am once
more a well than,” v/rites J. N. Arnold, Ksq., of
Gandy, I.ogan Co.. Nebr. “I suffered for years
and could not find relief until 1 commenced
taking your ‘ Golden Medical Discovery.’ I suf
fered with constipation and torpidity of liver
which resulted in irritation of the prostate and
inflammation of the bladder. I had only taken
one bottle when I found great relief. The medi
cine has effected a permanent cure."

lem of the enemy. There is more than hope; there is certainty of renewed health in Warner’s Safe Cure. Can any
fair-minded man, or woman, doubt this, after reading Mr. Lewis letter/
current reports, have decided not to
advance prices, and there are prospects
that the heavy demand for products
will he further encouraged by the later
quotations.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows
“I was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin wirs almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain constantly in back
find sides, no appetite—gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised trying Electric Bitters;
and to my great joy and surprise, the
first bottle made a decided improvement.
I continued their use for three weeks,
and am now a well man. I know they
saved my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim.” No one should fail to
try them. Only 50 cents per bottle ati
any Drug Store. 1
A chill air and a lowering sky in the morning, a sudden
rush of beat in the middle of the afternoon, then a cutting
wind after sunset —such is the history of an autumn day in
the north temperate zone. This is the weather that threatens
not only the avowed invalids, but many who fancy them
selves stronger than they are. It strikes them in the back.
It stop* the free action of the kidneys.
Then come feelings of cold, headache, nervousness, and,
worst of all, the grinding, cutting rheumatism which may last
for years, defying common remedies, ointments, liniments, etc.
The worst of diseases begin in the kidneys, and in the fickle
autumn weather the seeds of danger are sown. Avoid the
saddest consequences of these uncertain days. Strengthen
your kidneys with Warner’s Safe Cure,
p. W. Lewis, of Clyde, Ohio, write*:
“I had been confined to the house for months with sciatic
rheumatism, not able to get into or out of bed without help,
and had despaired of ever being able to walk again. A friend
advised me to take Warner’s Safe Cure. 1 told him I had been
lame so long I had no hopes of getting well. But a drowning
man will grasp at a straw, so I sent for two bottles, and
when I had taken them I walked to my barn, with the aid of
two canes.
“I got more Warner’s Safe Cure, and it served tin* scrrttic
rheumatism as Admiral Dewey served the Spanish ship-, at
Manila. It also knocked out my old enemy, kidney trouble. 1
was soon able to dispense with my canes and to go altout
my business.”
The connection between the kidneys and the rheumatism
i was probably obvious to Mr. Lewis, but it may not be- to
i everybody who reads the story of his recovery. The diseased
'kidneys, sluggish and incompetent, instead of taking dead
'tissue from the blood and hurrying it out of the body, acted
|as a dam. In such a case, with every beat of the heart, the
blood is laden with a substance as truly poisonous as arsenic
or strychnine. But it is a lingering poison. except when the
rheumatism touches the heart; then it kills like lightning.
There is no hoi<o for the rheumatic unless lie attend to his
kidneys and. by making them sound and strong, rid his sys-
