Central and Eastern Carolina's Can didate for Governor Makes Fine Impression Upon Crowd at Inan gnral of Harnett's Fair At Lil llngton Wednesday. Hon. Robert N. Page, of Biscoer a man who. ell realizes and fully ap preciates the ral problems and . op portunities tnat confront this country in the next decade, delivered the opening address at Harnet's Fair on Tuesday morning. Mr. Page was in happy mood because of the fact that Harnett soil feels warm to his feet. His forbears three generations ago settled upon the banks of the Cape Fear "when the land was too poor for any purpose except to hold this part of the earth intact." But an industrious people have proved that no land is too poor to bring forth abundant crops and pros perity when brain is used and brawn is applied. That he was happy to be among people who have caused such a trans formation in the old county, was plainly shown from his countenance Chapel Hill. Oct. IS. Gathering In the memorial hall to her illustrious dead the University of North Caro lina on October 11 'celebrated the 1 126th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone In 1793 of the first building on the campus. The old and the new universities mingled in the address of Judge Francis D. Winston of Windsor, of the class of 1879, and in the telegrams of birthday greet ings from alumni all over the coun try and in the actual presence of the largest student attendance in the his tory of the University. Preceded by a parade of faculty and students the exercises Included the reading of the Hat of alumni who have died within , the past year. Amidst tense silence Dean George Howe read to the standing audience the 43 names, many of them followed by "killed in action In France" or died in the service." Included In the list were the names of ex-Presl-dent Battle, President Graham, and acting President Stacy. The telegrams of greetings to the University came from the North Car olina College for Women, from alum I ni groups at Harvard, Columbia. New York, Pittsburg, and many county and city associations. From Monte video, Uruguay, came greetings from four young alumni, Powell, Cooper, deRosset and Whitfield. VALUABLE ritI7.ES OFFERED Via CLUI1 MEMBERS West Raleigh, Oct. 15.
