At a meeting held last night of the
Executive committee of the Western
North Carolina Fair association, Geo.
is. Arthur tendered his resignation as
(president which was accepted by tha
committee,.'- and R. C. ; Crowell was
Irlected as president of the association.
Evlr. Crowell will assume his new du
ies at once and will proceed to carry
lout the ideas already set In motion
ty Mr. Arthur for the fair to be held
ere next October. ,
Mr. Arthur gave as his reason for
resigning that his duties on the Bilt-
more estate would not permit him to
devote any time to the affairs of the
association and he thought a man who
lould devote his time to the associa
tion should be president.
The horticulture department of the
tfair this year will be especially fea-
ured, : according to plans now being
made by the fair officials. . As an in-
tiication of what will be expected In
his department the association an
nounced that the first prize for the
I .est two barrels and three boxes of
apples to be exhibited at the fair next
fall will be $50. This la considered
Ian extraordinary large prize for the 1
department, as neither the state fair
woes not offer such handsome prizes
las this. It Is expected that the first
Ijirize of J 50 will stimulate the interest
fif those who are contemplating ex
ilbltlng this fall and that the com
petition will be very strong. -
In the boys corn clubs and girls
tomato clubs of the farm garden de
partments, liberal prizes and premi
ums will be offered -and it Is expected
hat many exhibits will be shown by
hhe boys and girls of the clubs. : Ea-
eclal attention will be given to the
xhlbits filed by the boys and girls
nd every effort made to encourage
hem to do better work each year.
Plans and ideas along many lines
knd departments of the fair are shap-
ng themselves these days and It is
xpected that by the time the fair is
eady to be held that Interest will be
li roused in all sections of western
s'orth Carolina as it never has been
lefore. - -' .'

theater announces that owing to the
Illness of Miss Caroline Ross, the
leading lady with the musical tabloid,
"Lovers .amd Lunatics", now showing
at the Maljestic, the performance yes
terday afternoon was not up to the

making a hit with the large audience
