Fifty thousand people passed through ! the gates into the State Fair on Thursday carrying the jattendance far above the record established on any day since the institution was ( -tablished sixty-two years ago. The mass of surging hunamity rendered in;pop.sible anything but a difficult ..'ipvoach to the exhibits. Midway end the new grand stand erected J k.st year were packed with visitors to the splendid exhibition eager to vvih'ss the numerous amusement features, or to get a glimpse of the great variety of exhibits brought trora the factories and the farms of Nort'i Carolina. At (the close of the big exhibition on Friday atten dance figures registored around i 00,000 and more gate receipts have been counted than ever before. The big sueccs; of the exposi tion 4his year lifts the institution out of debt and "old of the ruts" into which it had been sliding for i-oiric years prior to tho first ad ministration of Mrs. Vanderbilt. The crowds were larger during tho en tire week this year than usual and he attractions more numerous. . Even General Fershing, the big drawing card last yer, did not draw anything like the number of people who came to the fair last Thursday. Every one appeared to be having "a grand time" and prais es ior the splendid work of Ivirs. Va.ndcvbilt was heard in every ruartor. She was generally on the grounds ahead of the crowds and put herself into the direction of affairs with a determination which ha:s characterized her administra tion from the outset. The way has been opened for even grca'r Jachievemcnts in the future and, with financial handi-cp'-ks behind them State Fair officials ccfnlently expects bigger and bet ter things with each passing year. The record of accomplishment at tained in 1923 has brought hope for the future and "Forward Ever for ward" is the slogan of the man agement. Judge John H. Kerr, recently nominate 1 as the successor of the lale Claude Kitchen in Congress, is to be succeeded by Thomas M. Titt man, of Henderson, the Governor having announced that he will ap point Mr. Fittman as soon as the vacancy contemplated in thor Third Judicial District actually occurs. A spirited contest for the judgeship was in progress, but the Governor decided to "take time by the fore Jock" and the fight is over before it got started. Mr. Pittman is ad Tvttedly a mar; of 'parts; stands well in his profession; in literary circles and as a church man. He has 'been a leading' figure in the Baptist denomination in the State for many years and has served in numerous important positions in the organisations of the democratic party and the legal profession. He was recently married to Miss Lizzie Briggs of this city, a leading Bap tist worker of the State, his first wife having died several years ago. This appointment of the Governor is considered a wise one and popular as well.

It, will come sometime about the first of Oct. just two weeks prior to the general association. ?Irs. Wallace Hartsell was elected as Supt. of the work in this associa- tion. The women need the moral support of the men of our churches. We must support them if we expect them to do the best work. The next sessidn will meet In Oct. 1924, with the church at Little Riv er. Several of the churches wanted the next meeting but since it could meet in but one place at a time the committee thought it best to send it to Little River. The people of the community of Cedar Mtn. took care of the associa tion in a royal manner as they do all meetings that are held in that part of the country. There was plenty to eat and the homes were opened to the visitors. Brother A. ti. Jones, of Pisgah forest, is the pastor of this noble people and he "u t-ucjr mgcuici urn uie indgiicin- imous thing.
