ADDRESS BY COLONEL GRIMES Attractions that go With the Price of Admission to these Annual Fes tivals Are Finer Than Ever. Ralefch. With a fanfare of trumpets the 59th annual State Fair was opened under auspices that bid fair to make It the greatest of the long list of successful State fairs. The crowds were 'bigger, the exhibits more varied and numer ous, the midway longer and more di verse, the racing both horse and mo torized, faster, and the attractions that go with the price of admission to the grounds finer than ever. The noon hour was set for the for malities that have for more than halt a century marked the opening of the fair. Promptly to the minute the offi cial party arrived, and many hundreds ;who had made their way to the grounds for the cermonies found that their fixed belief that nothing ever happens at the appointed time had caused them to miss the opening. As it was, the grandstands opposite the speakers' stand were fairly well filled to hear the opening address by Col. J. Bryan Grimes, and the wide-armed welcome from Gen. Julian S. Carr. The ceremonies were brief and punctual. The massed bands in the grandstand ceased playing and Gen eral Carr in a few brief words pre sented Colonel Grimes, chosen in the absence of the Governor to deliver the opening address. Colonel Grimes spoke for 10 minutes, welcoming North Carolina to the fair and dwell ing briefly upon the glories of the State, of which the fair 90 well typi fies. The bands broke into "Dixie,"' which brought answering yells from the assembled hundreds, and the crowd turned away to the enjoyment of the week of the fair. Red Cross Conference. Raleigh has as her guests Red Cross workers from every section of North Carolina, representatives from division headquarters here and department di rectors from national headquarters, Washington, the occasion being the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call confer ence.

C., October 13; Nashville, Tenn., October 16; Atlanta, October 19; Tampa, Fla, October 22. Repprts from each of these confer ences proved most encouraging to Red Cross executives. Practically every chapter in the four states named.ls aiming at a one-hundred-per cent membership increase, and it is now anticipated that North Carolina will fall in line with the effort. The Fourth Red Cross Call com mences Armistice Day, November 11, and continues to Thanksgiving Day— twelve working day* In which to dou ble the membership in the five states comprising the Southern Division.

Through the dark, wintry night two dear old pals strolled homeward. It had been somebody's birthday or something. Anyway, It was very late now.

A village without an old maid sounds somewhat like a fairy tale, but i several such places exist down below the Mason and Dixon line. "All the women get married in the mill villages of South Carolina, and at ap early age," says a Y. W. C. A. Industrial secretary stationed at Green ville, where she works among the girls In 13 mills. Perhaps economic Independence has something to do with It, as marriage Is not looked upon by the girls as a meal ticket, but as fi' flfty-flfty proposi tion. The wives do not give up their jobs but keep right on working. That the textile industry in South Carolina absorbs a large number of women us well as men workers Is not surprising, considering the fact that there are as many as IS mills In 29 counties. With the population of the state estimated a* 1,500,015 people, 62,- 904 are mill workers, and 190,288 are dependents on mill pay. The valua tion of the mills Is $75,000,000 and the weekly pay roll Is $1,000,000. Billy's Natural History. Billy—l saw a garter snake a yard and a half long today.
