for two years president of the Agricultural Society and who gave the people of the State two of the best and largest fairs in the history of the popular institution, is very niucK pleased with the success of the present fair and its attendant prosperity. No man in the State is a more staunch and firm supporter of the State Fair than Colonel Cunlngham, and its success is always a matter that is close to him. Colonel Cuningham referred with satisfaction yesterday to the large attendance, success and growing interest in the fair "The exhibits were simply great," Colonel Cuningham declared, "being fully up to those of any previous fairs. President MeNamee, Secretary Pogue and Treasurer Denson are to be congratulated for their indefatigable efforts towards making this the best of all fairs. There has never been a time when the people of Raleigh and the State showed more interest in the fair than at the present time.

There were more amusements at this fair than any previous exhibitions held in the State. The president spared no efforts to see that there were no gambling or indecent places on the grounds. The outlook for tho Fair of 1001 is very bright." It was Colonel Cuningham who placed Gen. W. R.

Cox in nomination as successor to President MeNamee. "The election of General Colonel Cuningham said, "is one of the wisest that could have been made. General Cox is not only well known to the people of North Carolina, but also in the United States. He served that and the South well, and was one of the most gallant soldiers and, generals in the Confederate army." Colonel Cuningham recalled an incident in General Cox's military career which will redound to his credit. It was during 1he retreat of the Army or Northern Virginia from Petersburg, which was made amidst some confusion.

Amidst the trouble and disorder. Gen. R. E. Lee observed an orderly body of troops on a hill, with its leader at the front.

General Lee sent an orderlv to learn what troops they were. "Cox's North Carolina brigade was the report made. Upon learning this General Lee uncovered his head, and bowing with Of everything that is new, meritorious and artistic in Dry Goods, Carpets, Curtains and Upholstery.

It was the first football game of the season in Kaleigh, and the crowd was by far the largest that ever witnessed a gridiron contest in this city.
