THE DOW DISPATCH Tnwmr'nirrrTT ^‘"iTT vrri ri v-c £» — iliKK"'.• ' ■- ;V - Vi* rX ■ ■ The C a—ty Fate Lm year a total of 163 fairs . were staged in North Carolina. Of thus number 126 ware community faira, 36 were county fain, and one State fair. Pertupa no one thing creates a greater degree of cucunun ity iatcrest and pride than the com munity or roomy fair. These fake create * spirit of friendly rivalry among the individual farmers aad farm women. Aside Irma the in fluence the fair has upon better farming, it furnishes a place for the lodes to gather and exchange news on matters pertaining to ag riculture. The fair h a place where people get new idea* and team new The question *», Do tbe farmers take enough interest in their agri cultural fans? The chief purpose »»1 a fair is to pramotc agricultural istetm. and only the farmer* them selves can make a fair what U is intended to he. Official* of the 'Harnett County Agricultural Fair anmriation will spare no efforts to make the fair this year the very / best in the history of the Fair asso ciation. Vat unless they receive the co-operation of the farmers of the four Counties — Harnett, Sampson. Johnston and Cumberland—includ ed their efforts win prove futile. Than is a tendency upon the port of the fanners to regard a county fair aa a town institution, probably owing to the fact that such fairs are hektln the towns. This ides should be removed from the minds of the people living in the rural districts. They should regard the county fair M a country institution, ona organ ised for the purpose of furthering dm interest of the soil tillers, and, . J - TWWwhOa ' „ Oondff dm next two months the ' fanner* of the Dnm district will engage in a battle that means much to the dmtrict as a whole.

State or city gov ernment*. The couatawtly devel oping problem* which grow om of the complexities of our modern. high ipaad evolution are many. They cannot ord inarily be dealt with by individuals or by small groups. They ganerally affect a va riety of industries and frequently affect, al basic industries. " Business men must get together to deal with common \irobtcsns. It is highly important for the entire community that this be done, for the earning power of Boston it chiefly dependent upon the ability of business management to provide work for those engaged in industry. The business man who refuses to co-operate in supporting the great centralized body organized to pro tect bis interests is, consciously or unconsCMAtsly, a parasite upon his more progressive fellow*. Every ekar-visiooed man must see the ne cessity for this coordinated service and see the need of its being ade quately supported. ** Retrench wherever we choose, there is one direction In which the community can never afford to do other than adequately atqiport this «taUy necessary central organiza tion and to maintain it so fully that its efficiency win remain complete and its opportunities to serve our total public win be steadily en hanced. In this mint ml tn coda the oBcm, directors, commit *ees and permanent start of the Ch*n,,*r dwBeate Uieir service. for the work of the ensuing year." — From the Inaugural Address of President Frederic S. Snyder, of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Catting Raoul ts Governor Morrison’s plaii for m nvestigating the State and county Prison systems appears to be getting esuhs The solicitor* are co-op rating with the Attorney General n the investigating jwogram, and relief may he expected where relief '» needed. As might have been ex pected, conditions in some counties are reported as favorable, while in others the solicitors and grand jo ries are finding conditions that should not exist. The investigation made by the grand jury in this county revealed Improper treat ment of the convicts. The matter was called to the attention of the board of county commissioners, and the board lost no time in making a change m the camp management. Solicitor T. A. McNeill made a personal investigation of both the convict caaep and county jail in that county. No doubt the .heces «ry changes will follow there. A like investigation has been made in Robeson county, though the find ingt of the solicitor have not yet been made public. la this prison investigation plan it would seem that Governor Mor t*on was right and his critics were wrong. The State is advancing to wards a modern prison system un der the plan outlined by the gov ernor. Tba Court's Dwty One of the sad features about a hank failure la, that -in practically every instance the funds of widows and children are involved. We have known several instances where widows ware among the heaviest «•« m bank failures. Ope of the ™t‘ duties of ttie courts should he to protect the funds of women children deposited in banks. W. M. Bond was right hn week when during the trial of a former bank cashier, charged with embezzling $36,000 of the bank’s funds, he said, “ The time has come •boa the courts must protect the funds of widows and children in the banks" The courts can wield a anghly influence m decreasing ♦he aurmmg number of bank friT wrt».
