To the Editor of The Observer: " " The paragraph in yesterday morn ing's paper with reference- to t'ae ' Mecklenburg County Fair and the mayor part, calls for, a statement from me. It --was not my desire or intention to say anything , about the special feature which has 'causad so , much talfc, and I would not do eo ., row, but for the fact that the report er hat seen fit to state my poalUon. In order that hs people may thor oughly understand 'my . position I wish - to 'aa that as mayor and as ' a Citizen I am onnnnnrl m Ahon ahows and gambling and will always exercise such authority as'I may have -Jo the elimination of both.. ; . atandlnr on th ntrof' totiri i.- - . ""'a . niMi aome friends, h en Mr. W. D. Adams , and. Mr. B. FW4deman; of The Ob t server and TbJ Chronicle, passed and stopped for a ,few ,m,lnute. a Mr. Ad ams asked, what my attitude would be towards the fakirs at the Fair."' -- IV told him "I was not -a crank about such things; that I thought the people should enjoy themselves ' and . that we should:, not ' he ton ne-M n special occasions -of this kind, but t mat i was opposed to gambling and Indecent shows; also, that a ; gentle man had called, to 'see me aii the juuyur s oaice oaxuraay ana stated he had been Informed, that there would b a considerable amount of ramb- . ling at the Fair. I thereupon tele-phoned-'the chief of police, repeating the information , t had received and cautioned him' to look after all of the fakirs eldsely, as we could not 'nave anything on the midway that was not 'all right. The chief stated that the ' Fair Association would readily- cat out anything that was not entirely satisfactory,, and suggested that I ap point a committee from the board of aldermen to inspect, each and J every attraction." , - . . :.. Believing that this waa J, a matter under the immediate auservi'sion Of -the recorder, and not wishing, there fore, to giveto the publlo any defi nite statement I asked Mr. Adams lr he .was. talking for publication, as I llcation. , He told me he was not. I did not like the report of this con versation In Monday morning" Ob server, as it was misleading or liable of misconstruction,' and furthermore, as It would appear that I was pre suming to usurp the authority of the recorder, and subsequently, after re minding Mr. Adams of this promise, was told that the article was not written by him. ; ' '' ; -:.;. ' A It was my Intention to see the re corder during; the mornmg, - nut be fore r reac.he6T tne mayfir office the recorder telephoned to me that he would, like tQ seeme and would wait until ! arrived. I stated the circum stances to him, as I did not wish him to suppose I had any desire or dispo sition to take charge of. police regu lation, which I construed to be di rectly under the. supervision of the recorder. " The recorder agreed with me that there should not be any ob jectionable features at the Fair, and also added that there would be no friction between, us as to the carrying out of the law I suggested to him the advisability of his going In per son to the fair ground and making an examination for himself, stating that, I wouldPsfO with him if he de sired to do so. The recorder did not think this was-necessary, as the com mittee which I would oppoint could perform the service., Later in the morning . Aldermen Shelor, Scott, Wadsworth and- C A. Williams hap pened te. drop Jnto the office, : and after relating to them the clrcunv? stances; I requested that they act as the committee, which they consented to do.' $ ";, " In this connectron I wish to say that this committee reported at the fair ground on Tuesday morning and , went carefully through all joI the show, and visited every feature on the gr6und,"requlrlng each individual to explain in detail exactly what he proposed to do. They reported to me That so far as they were able to see from this examination! nothing ab JpcUonable would , appear. They fur thermore Informed me that they gave very rigid and positive Instructions o all of the neonle to the effect thatilliifirftoon at 8:30 between the North there, was any violation of the law they would be arrested. I did. not remain at the ground af ter the Fair was opened, but while on my way home Tuesday evening about 6:80 o'clock, a gentleman met me on the street and told me that he had visited the fair ground and that there were two or hree - shows that were very close to being Indecent. . As soon as I reached home I canceled an en gagement I had for that evening and telephoned to Alderman C. A Wil liams, requesting him. to go with me to the fair grounds for the purpose of making a personal investigation. Mr. Williams and X after going over the grounds, picked out 'the shows which we thought should be investigated. One of them wa a dis grace to atly community, and In com pany with Mr Williams I went to the manager and told him if the ob jectionable features were not cut out Immediately I would have him ar rested angl his show closed. ' He as sured me that; this would be done, and I think it was true, certainly ff or that evening, as I sent several men In from time to time to sea. whether or not my Instructions were: being 'car ried ouVand they were," !Z ' s' The next show we visited I had been Informed was even worse than this oner but just after getting Inside a gentleman, came UP and stated that a young man' who , lives in Charlotte had fbeen . to,: the manager and, told him t we, were In ther ; f or ! the pur- ! pose OI inspecuun ma irnii uiiiobj iiij programme was changed he would be "pulled." , Consequently the perform ance was; very mild and tame. We visited several of the gambling Bt'rtff.'but.in aimont every instance .-rjngwas "doing" whfle we were ffifre. TVe inferred from this that the fakirs had caught on to who we were. - . ' ' In the meantime, the committee above mentioned was on the grounds supervising the midway to the best of their ability. I, as well as the com mittee, Instructed , the policemen to keep their eyes open and be sure that all objectionable features ; were , cut out. . . - ' gomeone may ask here why J did not correct the statement lit .

Either on Wednesday or Thursday morning, about 7:30. o'clock, I met the assistant chief on the street and told hind "was afraid that the po licemen at the fair grounds would not be able to keep down the gambling and the 'obscene shows on account of being in unlform, and instructed him to send. out at once two i men in plain clothing with' Instructions to re main all day and to go in and out of all the shows from time to time and to arrest Immediately for any viola tion of the law. ..I also tendered him the,' money with which to pay - the admittance f the men to the shows, but was informed that they.had mon ey at the police station for that pur pose: - .' ; - y Thursday .about 12:30 o'clock' So.

Furthermore, as I was leaving the grounds - I met tiergeant Pitts and told him that all the gamb ling places had been closed and that I wanted him to watcn them closely and if any opened again not to cau tion them, . but to arrest them imme diately. '. .k i' This article Is not written as an apology for my actions in any respect, as I did what I conceived to e my full duty, in, this matter; I do -not, construe the office ? of mayor, to be that, of a 'policeman. ' I wiU- at all times uphold the law to the best of my ablUty. but I do not think the charter requires the mayor to usurp the authority of the recorder or to make arrest In person. o Lastly, I wish to say -that the board of aldermen, as well as the mayor, is as much interested in the welfare of the city as any, of the citizens, and it :is our desire to give the1 people a clear-clean-cut business aaministra tion. not the least of which Is the preservation of Its fair name, : " ; -.

To the Editor of The Observer; New cases of scarlet fever are dally developing In Charlotte and Dllworth. Are not some of our physicians to blame for the spread of this terrible disease ? Some of them, if the disease is in a light form, pronounces It scarletlna, thus allaying the fears of the family and. causing them to take very little, if any precautions. The placard "Keep out" U nlaced UDOn the door.-and yet the father or some other member of the family Is allowed to pass regularly In and out. coming directly from the patient In contact with others, there by spreading the disease oy germs in the clothing. The patients are . s.ime times.4urned out while the skin Is still peeling In great flakes from their bodies. - This disease Is Infectious, contag ious, In all Its stages, and Its germs have been known to live, fqr twenty five years. , Will not our physicians see that pre cautions are taken against the spread of tha dreaded disease by enforcing a strict quarantine oi an pauenui mm those who have to come In contact with the patients.
