Others are being booked.
Aurora, N. C-. Oct. 25, 1915.
Editor News:
I wish you to say to your many
readera that the Aurora Fair Asso
ciation has succeeded in booking
some strong attractions for our com
Ing fair, two of which deserve spec
ial mention, to-wit: First, Prof.
Crew, the most daring balloonist on
earth, who goes to dizzy heights,
courting death In the clouds. On
Wednesday of the fair he proposes
to make two parachute drops and
on Thursday he will make thrre
drops from the same balloon. Thia
is the first time this act has ever
been done In this county, and per
haps It will be many years before
our good people will ever have the
opportunity fit witnessing such *a
free attraction again, and this fea
ture of the fair alone is worth go
ing miles to see.
Our second great attraction con
sists of an aggregation of dark-faced
comedians who corns to us strongly
recommended. Their Juggling,
sleight of hand tricks, coupled with
their songs and jokes will please all
who may be so fortunate as to set>
and hear them.
I only mention th^se two but there
will be others and we propose to
have only the best, and we assure
all that there will 6e nothing on the
grounds but what will be clean and
first clastf.
Very truly yours,

A hearty endorsement of the good

was this morning received from Qov
srnor Locke Craig. It was written 'n
reply to & recent letter 'from the
Dally News and reads as follows:
Editor Dally News.
Dear sir:
Answering your communication of
recent date. I desire to say that I
sincerely trust the good roads move
ment lo Beaufort county will moot
with success and that many miles
of Improved highways will be built.
This matter is one of great impor
ance to every community and no
oetter investment could bo made
hat would produce greater or more!
beneficial results.
Nothing la contributing more to
ward the ^prosperity and the happi
ness and the social advancement of
our country than Improved roads.
If we would utilize the Instrumpn
a'.ltlcs of modern civilization we
must have good roads. No commun
ity can afford to be without them.
If any county or any community by
\ short-Elgbted parsimonious policy
fail to improve its roads, that com
munity denies to Itself the oppor
tunities of modern life. When the
good road comes to a community,
better schools are established, better
