TUBE SERVICE TO BE RESI'MEI) BY (KTOBEB 1 The post office department at Wash- | ington has atfrcpted the bid of tiie New York Pneumatic Service Com pny, the only bidder, for the install*- , tion ami operation of pneumatic tul>e service between New York and Br ok lyn, connecting these two offices and | tWfrity-three postal stations «n Nw York. The company expects to have sev enty-five per cent of the reqi ired , tube service in operation by Octob r ! 1 I and the remainder shortly r.fter the re-establishment of the pneumat- | is lube system in New York after j four years of abandonment. I ntil j June 90, 1918, when congress decided to discontinue the service the device i was in operation in five cities —New I York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago j and St. Louis. When the service was abandoned in New York the tubes were left in tact, but in a numb r of the stations, the machinery was removed to make more space for the post office work. In these offices it will be necessary replace the machinery. A number of stations, however, have been moved, others have been dis- I continued and a few new stations have J been established. In these cases it J wlil be necessary to install an entire new system of tubes. m Last year congress appropriated J $513,911.50 for the re-cstablishment of the t i'vice between New Yorktand j Brooklyn, placing a limit of cost at S" :8,f,00 a mile of double line of tube;. It Is estimated there will 27.1"! miles in the New York system. New York mail deliveries will be made in from one to four hours' less time, and more than half of the noisy, traffic-disorganizing mail trucks will l»e eliminated in the renewed use of . of'the pneumatic tubes, P. J. Kiely,' assistant .postmaster in New York j raid a few days ago. The tube service anrteiinces that t- . thorough examination of 'the tuber showed them to be in perfect eond ! j tion and that they could be put into use by October 1.

I'er slijng, (commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during vhe World War will attend the North Carolina State Fair on Wednesday, October 18, was made yesterday by Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt, president of the Fair. ~ The announcement, which was con tained in a telegram from Mrs. \an derbilt to Co. Albert L.

In order to do honoi to America's greatest war heroes who will make his first visit to the Si ite Caepitol on the occasion of the Fair, posts of the American .egion throi gh out the state will be asked to send representatives to the iFir and units of the state's nationa guard, and a detachment of troops from Camp Bragg are also expected to he on hand. Arrangements for ''Military Day" are in the hands of oClonel Cox, anil, details huve not yet Men worked out. It is probable, however, that the pro gram will include a speech by the General in the forenoon and some social function in his honor in the evening.

LAST LAI' OF THK YKAH Today puts us on the lust lap of the old year. Summer is end'd and fall is now with us and the year is rap idly drawing to a close. The year Ht'22 will go down in history as one of the hard years, one filled with dis sensions, l Mid ill ike*, wars and tin horrors of starvation. The heart-rending part of the sit nation is that the great; law-making liodies of our land have been the cause if it all instead of having the inter ests of the whole land at heart they have been directed by the few. i ;itANJ> OLD ( IIUUS I>AV Fresh from winter quartern, bright :»nd glittering with leaf anil vari-hued paints and teeming with hundreds of new and novel features is the Camp bell Bailey-Hutchinson Combined Cir eus and Wild West, perhaps not the largest but one of the host in the whole world. Neither money nor trouble has hern ■pared to make the performance the •est ever presentd unrir a cirrus can vas. I'h regular circus program is opened with a beautiful patriotic en semble, which serves to introduce the entire personnel from the big dress ing rooms. Then, with blood-stirring music from the large concert band, the act* follow each other in bewildering rap idity. Prominent among the displays are the CHllion trou|»e in a series of iew and daring feats in the air and on the ground. The Davenport Fam ily of riders, the Azuki Japs, Camp Itell-liailey-Hutchinson herd forming elephants, Rochetta, the man who walks on his head,, and a score of other acts. The clowns number 25 and include of the funniest jest ers known. Almost three hours of solid enjoyment is given those who attend, and this is augmented by a thrilling Wild West exhibition entitled "The Passing of the West." The Camp bell-Hailey-Hutchinson circus will give two complete performances at Williamston Thursday, September 28, There will be the usual free street parade at noonday.

Billy Clark's Brositlwav Principal Attraction On Midway At The Fair; Space In Hx'liibit Hall Going Fast WEEKLY REVIEW OF CROP CONDITIONS Weather—The weather continues fairauul dry in all three belts of the state, with occasional rains in the mountains. Relief has been gained from the extieme heat of the past few weeks; the weather having been gene rails 'cool since last Saturday. Grains—Only a very small acreage of wheat is grown in tin Eastern countier -of tlit> suite and th.- reports on yield.i in this area nre "wry p ior" —the highest |Ui >luctlon report wns 65 per cent of a normal cfop in Joh nr. to. i ->uni\ where only a small acieago was ilanteil. Wheat in the I'iedmoiit was' also poor this year, with only a slight inci . ase in con dition over that of the Coastal bolt The best condition was in the in un tain area, being about SO per cent 5T a normal crop. The best corn production in the Coastal area is in Cumberland c>unt> which has an 87 per cent condition. The pei centage for the vvhoel ar \i is about 65 per cent. The crop wis an average one in the Piedmont bell with a Condi', ion figure of 8, r > per ce'it. Th corn condition in the Mountain area was about eipta! to that id' th" I'ie.l Cotton—The boll weevil damage in the East caused a poor cotton crop. Th? lowV. t figure repotted was 25 per cent from, Columbus, and the highest was in Cumberland with 75 per cent. Ver> little cotton is raised in the northern il'edinmifc counties but the central and southern sections of this belt have about • a 65 per cent condition. ILI.VH anil Pastures—Johnston coun ty reports only a small acreage of hay anil grasses but with a 95 per cent condition: The general report for the state runs from 90 to 110 per cent. Tobacco—Tobacco has turned out better in some counties of the Coast al belt than was anticipated, being as high as 8(i per cent in Bladen, but some farmers were not '.'agreeably surprise" in the east as shown by a condition figure- a.s low as 60 per cent -II J ! iU- xnd »lUiOi>aii counties. On the average this area made about two thirds of a crop. The tobacco srop in the Central belt, was about 90 per cent of a normal crop. Truck—Wherever there is any late truck in the state\L)je condition 1« only fair. The 111 y weathei; has retardeil this crop's giowth. Fruit— Fruit is on the decline, for srmmer varieties. Fall fruits: apple: , pears and grapes, are coming in ear lier than usual. Winter fruits east of the mountains promise uhusually good crops. Live Stock—Cattle, hogs and sheep show a good condition due to the fa vorable season. -""'Progress—'While the sun shines" the farmers are "making hay", pick ing cotton and digging potatoes. Very little fall plowing is being done on account of dry weather. Labor—Road construction work is ntany sections and that which is left is inefficient and Idgli priced. WKEKLY COTTON LKTTKIt Crop accounts were unfavorable during the pa*t week. The yield has been reduced by premature opening of bolls. No top crop has been made anywhere. Picking progresses rapidly, many sections reporting that fields would be clean by the end of September. F'ri vate mid-month condition estimates range from 49 to 61, indicating a crop of altout 0,750,000 to 10,000,000 hales. The movement of cotton is out of proportion with what is expected to be the final yield. In most sections farmers have been selling Ifteir cot ton as fast as picked, but the recent decline, will" cause more cotton to be held. Foreign news was unfavorable over the week end, and October futures declined to 20.H2 today. Trude de mand improved as the market eased off and there was a recovery in the afternoon, the net loss fpont Satur day's figures being only 12 points. If the near-east situation clears, or Southern farmers refuse to- sell below 20 cents in the" interior, there will lie a rapid advance from the pres ent level. We continue to advise against sell ing on weak marketß. Cotton held for sixty days should bring higher prices, and there may be a healthy advance when the government's con dition report is published on 0 tni. 2nd.
