FAIR HORSE RACES MAY ECLIPSE ALL FORMER RECORDS Hundred Entries From All Parts of Country Will Compete For the Valuable Purses. Horse racing and falra having, through the years, become synony mous, the Cabarru* District Fair foi 1927 will present to the lovers of the ‘.‘Sport of Kings” some of the best dirt track exhibitions that North Car olina has ever known. {Starting promptly at one-thirty o’clock on Tuesday, October 11th, the opening day, the race program wil. last through Frida/. Ten races, with prizes of SBOO each will be run dur ing the four days. Tuesday will open the proceedings with three races; Wednesday will see entrants in two starting events stretching their necks for the wire ; on Thursday there will be three, and on Friday two. There will be no horse races on Saturday because of the auto speed events. “Indications point to the largest crowd in the history of Cabarrus,“ aaid Dr. T. N. Spencer, secretary oi the Fair Association, yesterday. “We have had a larger demand for box seats than aver before and they have all been sold. Many requests have had to be turned down.” Every aeat in the two grandstands are ‘expected to be filled wheu the races begin on the opening day of the fair. Many thousand others will line the fence parallel with the track, while the infield will be a seething mas* of humanity, all with eyes directed toward the track. The Cabarrus track is generally recognised as one of the beat and fast est half-mile tracks in America. The state record for a mile race was made here. Between eighty and a hundred horses will be sent here for compe tition in the premium evente. Already stable owners from North and South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Al abama, Ohio, and New Jersey have signified their intention of sending entries for the various races.

Cannon, local stable owners, will enter their fastest horses, it has been announced. ANOTHER BUDGET PROBLEM PRESENTED • Can Levies From Insurance Com panies Be Spent For Special Ad vertising? * Tribune Bureau Bir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Sept. 28. —Has the Budget Bureau the power to prevent the State Insurance Department from ex pending an assessment levied against the various insurance companies in advertising in connection with Fire Preventitvi Week? The State lusurance Department does not think so, and is prepared to go to the mat with the Budget Bureau on this question, especially since it says that the levy is made against the .various insurance companies at their own request, and with the understand ing that it be used in buying advertis ing space in newspapers all over the state, to educate the public in fire prevention. Jt seems that the budget bureau, however, has sought to convert the funds from this assessment into rev enue, and has ruled that it may not be spent in advertising, as has been done in previous years. However, attaches of the state insurance de partment maintain that it is not fair to the insurance companies to divert the fund from the original purpose for which it was setup. While final action in the matter awaits the return of Stacey W. Wade, commissioner of insurance, who is at present in Cincinnati, attending the annual convention of the # National Association of Insurance Commis sioner*, of which he is a past presi dent, jt is believed that he will put up a stiff fight to retain control of this fund, on the grounds that the budget bureau has neither a moral nor legal right to rule that the in surance department may not use this money to prevent fires in the state in any way it sees fit. Should the insurance commissioner decide to come to grip* with the bud get bureau over the matter, he will have the moral if not the vocal sup port of several other departments, ea peeialy Baxter Durham, state audi tor, who Has not hesitated to call the hand of the budget bureau on several occasions. German Dane* Men Ban the Charles ten as Old Fashioned. (By International News Service) Bad Harzburg, . Brunswick, Sept. 28. —Banning the Charleston as old fashioned, the. League of German Dancing Masters, assembled here in their annual convention, announces that careful dancers will hereafter “re frain from jerking their knees and el bows, cease to move the Feet laterally, and will endeavor to perform the movements of the dance a* smoothly as possible.” Only the “modern wa tz” and the “Yale” have been approved. The “modern wait*” is done to a slow tempo, with a number of Breton steps interpolated between the ordinary one twi three rhythm of the classical fig ure The German Dancing Masters stamped with commendation two va rieties of style in dancing. The first, called the English style, is distinguish ed by long, deliberate steps. This | style, say the masters, is preferred by dancers along the Raltic Sea, where the influence of Anglo-Saxon tempera ment i* fa t. The seoend style, known as the “Franco-American,” is performed with shorter steps, ie more ‘‘temperament ' al.” and Is to be seen at “resorts fre quented by persons of the great world.” Crimina’s in China are not shaved.

The Presbyterian Church in the United Btates is sending out this week an appeal to its 489,021 mem ber* to observe Sunday, October 9th, as a day of fasting and prayer. This appeal ia being sent out joint .y by Rev. R. F. Campbell, D. D., Asheville, moderator of the General Assent by; Mrs. W. C. Winsborougli, Bt. Louis, Mo., secretary of women’* work; R. E. Magi 11, Richmond, Va., secretary of religious education; and Rev. J. E. Purcell. D; D., Atlanta, Ga., secretary of men’s work; who are addressing in their appeal the minis ters and leader* among the men, wom en and young people. The leaflet as prepared by the com mittee on assembly's work, of which Rev. Ernest Thompson, D. D., of Charleston, W. Va., is chairman, calls attention to a statement by Dr. J. W. dkinner, of Kingsville, Texas, made in the retiring moderators’ sermon before the 1927 assembly, in which he says; "The storm cgntera of the wond his year have been within the terri tory of our Church. There have been tornadoes in F.orida, cyclones in Tex as, floods in the Mississippi Valley, international complications in Mex ico, and civil war in China.” Dr. Campbell, moderator of this Church, states that at this time when .here is much anxiety as to the future of the mission work at home and abroad, it is well to note that it was after days of fasting and prayer that the spirit of missions for the world began to move upon the New Testa ment Church. There ia considerable concern in the Presbyterian Church of the United State* over the necessity of cutting SIOO,OOO off the appropriations for this year to foreign missions, and the necessary retrenchment by other com mittees because of the decrease in con tributions. The leaders of the Church, believ ing that the people have the money, and the conditions facing the Church are not financial but spiritual, have, therefore, called upon the whole Church to observe a day of fasting and prayer in home*, Churches, pub lic services and all the organizations of the Church. “BEN HUR” TO SHOW HERE THREE DAYS DURING NEXT WEEK The Immortal Story by Lew Wallace on Screen at Con cord Theatre at Popular Prices. “Ben-Hur, ” the screen version of Lew Wallace’s immortal story, will be shown at the Concord theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the popular prices of 35 and 50 cents.

Bushman dominate in the leading roles. “Ben-Hur” brings to the Concord one of the most thrilling romances ever screened. Ben-Hur through the death-daring chariot race—the fight in the great arena.

Pope Pius XI, has contributed SIOO,OOO for the relief of victims of the Mississippi flood, it was announc ed today. The gift waa made through the Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, jS. J., vice president of Georgetown UiKversity and representative, of his Holiness in matters pertaining to relief work, who brought it to the annual meeting of the American Hierarchy, which was just concluded in Washington. “The Holy Father,” said Dr. Walsh, “was thinking of the hidden domestic disasters, the discouragements, the lack of work and school and clothing, the ruin of churches and similar hu man problems. As tlie new Catholic Near East Relief Association (of which Dr. Walsh is president) is now beginning to support many of these national charities which hitherto the Holy Father aided from his own slen der resources, the Pope found it possi ble, by economizing oq European re , lief to set aside $190,0060 from his general relief fund for America. “He commented again and again on the traditional generosity of American Catholics, who never failed to answer his appeals for help made for sufferers and orphans in Russia and the Near East. As** slight token,’ therefore, of his appreciation he wishes to recipro cate on this occasion when so many of | his own spiritual children, who never failed to aid other and distant lands, now find themselves homeless and financially ruined. His only regret is 1 that he cannot send more.” The Pope's intention waa made known to Dr. Walsh on his recent visit to the Vatican, where he had 1 gone to report on the activities of the I Catholic Near East Welfare Associa ' tion. “The first news of the fbod, the heaviest peacetime disaster this eoun ' try has ever suffered, made a pro i found impression on Pope Pius,” Dr. • Walsh said. t One of the earliest aero engines built by the Wright brothers has been presented by Orville Wright to the Scottish Nation and is now on ex hibition ih the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh. / CONCORD Y.
