Raleigh, July 18—The "sum
mer capital" of the State has been
transferred from Raleigh to Ashe
ville for the next six or seven
weeks, so far as the Governor, in
propria personae, is concerned,
his Excellency having "gone
west" after almost taking the
breath away from the municipal
authorities of several cities, who
were astounded at the "lateness"
of the date specified in the call for
the "Extry" session.
December 6th is some three
months too distant, according to
the statements made by tho Ral
eigh and several other city offi
cials to furnish the relief they
sought to be remedied by the
"Extry" on account of the Senate
journal clerk's failure to function
on the measure passed by the
Senate, and therefore rendered no
good.
The Mayor of Raleigh especially
expresses much disappointment,
and from his point of view this
city and others will be hard put
to it to go over the budget reve
nue hurdle. From a local stand
point this is to be regretted, as
Mayor Eldridge was planning a
successful program for the ensu
ing year.
The Conncil of State, sitting
with the Governor to clear up
odds and ends before the execu
i tive's departure f6r Asheville on
Monday, declined to move up the
date for the special session of the
Legislature as requested by John
W. Hinsdale, city attorney.
Mr. Hinsdale told the Governor
and the Cabinet that Raleigh
would be forced to cut its budget
' in half if it could not get relief
until December, and the Governor
counselled the cities to practice
the same economy which indi
viduals are being forced to prac
tice now.
Elaborating somewhat on a per
sonal statement Governor Morri
son explained that there is a wave
of opposition all over the State to
a special session, and particularly
from large property owners in the
cities which are howling the loud
est. For the reason given, he
explained that he did not think it
wise to call the law-makers here
until December.
Private Secretary Richardson
and Executive Clerk, Miss Mamie
Turner, are holding the fort in
the executive offices at the Capi
tol, while the Governor and his
Executive Secretary, Miss Willis,
are at Grove Park, Asheville.
HO,UOO In Imporovements.
About this time of the year, as
the Almanac says, look out for
the arrangement of big plans for
the great State fair, which this
Tear will be so different as to be
hardly recognisable by eld veter

an visitors. More than $30,000
in physical improvements are be
ing expended by the State Fair
management. Colonel Joseph E.
Pogue (without whom it would
hardly look like a State Fair, he's
been at the helm BO long) and
Assistant Secretary and Treasur
er C. B. Denson, to whose activi
ties and efficiency every State Fair
for a number of years, has been
largely due. A statement made
to the writer by Colonel Pogue
says, also, that the premiums in
livestock alone amounts to over
SIO,OOO, which is an increase
over 1920 of about 33 1-3 per
cent. A new judging pavilion
has been provided 60x150 feet
long, a new dairy barn is being
erected 30x15u feet; chutes have
been constructed connecting the
live stock buildings with the
judging pavillion; a" new race
track is being constructed of mod
ern up-to-date pattern, but will
not be ready for this year's fair,
and the races will be pulled off on
the old track, but the new track
will be completed and ready in
1022 and will be banked at the
turns to enable the association
to put on automobile races safely,
a thing that never, could be con
sidered on the old track; a new
grand entrance, for foot passeng
ers is being constructed of about
double the capacity of the old
main entrance, which will practi
cally relieve all congestion at the
main gate; new automobile exit
gates will be provided for better
accommodation of automobiles
and the parking space of autos
is being enlarged and made more
available. Last year was our
most successful fair and our re
ceipts exceeded any previous fair
by more the $20,000; and we are
spending this amount and a good
deal more on various battermeuts
as above enumerated and other
details not mentioned for which
we never had a surplus fund to
do in the past. We had the larg
est and most varied up-to-date
display of modern farm machin
ery last year ever seen at the
North Carolina State Fair, and
the indications are that this year
will show a great improvement
over last. • -
Our live stock exhibit overflow
ed our buildings, and we were
compelled to drect over night large
tents to house the .overflow of
swine and this year we have add
ed another building to meet this
increased demand of the swine
exhibitors.
The North Carolina iState Fair

the first fair in the United States

the person of ttat distinguished
and enterprising citizen of Biit

cess of the fair, and by bringing
her powerful influence tj bear in
its behalf, we expect to see the

GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JULY 21, 1921
Our information, carefully ob
tained, shows that the namber of
agricultual fairs in this SGate has
greatly multiplied daring 1920,
and that practically every one of
them scored great success. Re
cent rains throughout the State
have largely rescued the staple
crops from the effects of the
drought and the prospects are now
for bumper crops and better
prices, and on the whole, it may
be safely assumed that the agri
cultural fairs "of North Carolina
will be equally successful in 1921.
New Congretaman Sur«,
Developments in Washington
bring the assurance that North
Carolina will certainly secnre one
additional Congressman in the
next Congress, but whether he is
to be elected as congressman-at
large or as the representative of
the eleventh district, remainfc to
be evolved by Congress and by
the special session of the Legis
lature to convene in December.
Representative Isaac Reigel of
New York, chairman of the House
Census Committee, makes a state
meut that an increase in the
House membership to 400, this an
addition of 25 to the present mem
bership of the House, probably
will be recommended by the House
Census Committee when it reports
out the reapportionment bill.
Representative S. M. Brinson of
the third North Carolina district,
in discussing the statement of
Representative Seigel, said that
while the majority representation
of the committee might be to in
crease the membership to 460 that
there would also be a minority
representative to hold to the pres
ent number of members, 435.
Whether the number decided
upon is 435 or 46() in either case
there will be an additional mem
ber for North Carolina.
There are three propositions be
fore the House Census Committee
—one to hold to the present mem
bership of 435; one to increase
the membership to 400; one to in
crease it to 483. This last would
give North Carolina two members
but there seems to be no liklihood
that this membership of 483 has
a chance to win. President Hard
ing has stated that he favors a
membership of 460, but there is a
feeling among the members of the
House to make no increase, and
there will be a man's siz > tight on
the floor of the House for 435.
Congressman Brinson, the rank
ing Democrat on the House Ceu
sus Committee, advocates the 435
membership figure. If the 400
advocates win, Missouri and Maine
will each lose a member, and while
the Republicans are showiug lit
tle concern as to the loss of a
member in Maine, there is a leel
ing that the man who loses out iu
the necessary redisricting in Mis
souri will be taken care of in the
way of a Federal job. Hence,
there is being heard no opposition
from Missouri as to 400 as the
figures.
Redlatrictlng of State Powlble In Time.
If the present Congress makes
the reapportionment either on the
basis of 435 or 4«0 then it is
figured out that the extra session
of the North Carolina General
Assembly called by Governor Mor
rison for December oth m iy take
up the matter of making .i redis
ricting of the' StaiM so as to have
eleven congressional districts in
place of the present number of
ten. If there is notuhis redisrict
ing at the extra session then the
expectation is that the General
Assembly will enact the necessary
legislation so as to provide for
the election of a rongrcssmau-at
large at the next erection. If
there is a congrcssman-at-large
there are at present understood
to be three mentioned for the
position, General Julian 8. Carr,
who has stated he would be a can
didate; Speaker of the House of
Representatives Walter Murphy
of Salisbury, former Speaker of
the House of Representatives of
North Carolina, Sam. L. Rogers,
until director of the census, atone
time member of the North Caro
lina Corporation Commission.
Mgn Po«U For All State Road*.
North Carolina roads are going
to h>)ve sign posts on them as soon
as the district engineers get their
maintenance plans into operation,
''and care of the roads will include
maintenance of sign posts at every
crossing that will give the way
farer accurate and understand
»bl» iaferestiee as to whither be
is headed, how far it is, and if
there are any detours to be made,
the conditions of the detour.
Orders to this effect have been
issued to the district engineers by
State Highway Engineer Charles
M. Upliam. The sigu district
men have been asked to submit
to the chief their notions of what
the signposts ought to look like,
and from among t)ie nine, one
design will be selected and made
standard for the whole State.
Anywhere the traveler sees one of
the signs, he will know that it is
accurate and official.
With the constantly developing
stream of automobi e travel in
North Carolina, the sigu posts
wilt be of invaluable help to the
people of the State. No concert
ed effort has ever been made to
properly mark roads, although
some work iu this direction has
been made by counties. Largely
it has been left to the whim of
the local advertiser aud as often
as not sigu posts get the traveler
hopelessly lost.
Mile posts will be added to the
roads as permanent construction
progresses. The sign posts are
fot* immediate use, and later the
roads will be marked with a
standard design of stone markers j
to give the mileage. Mr. Upham
hopes to have the placing of sign
posts well under way in the State
before the first of September.
Designs by engineers are to lie
submitted immediately, and after
that they will be made in quanti
ty lots.
Health Work Return* to Haiti*.
Health administration in North
Cuolina, like the administration
of the schools, will be returned to
a basis of local self-government
as a result of a conference held
here this week by Dr. W. S.
Kan kin, Secretary of the State
Board of Health, and 35 to 40 of
the part-time he4lth officers em
ployed in as many counties.
The conclusioD of the confer
ence was such that the health
officers u«jrw working under a part
salary arrangement with tne State
Boar>i of Health aud the Rocke
feller foundation will in thefut-i
uro be paid "piece meal" for
their work rather than given a
flat compensation monthly for
services. In this way, the de
partment hopes to be able to pre
sent the next General Assembly a
complete survey of the accom
plishments of the Slate Board of
Health.
i It is to remove the
ble feature of superintending
policies of county health officers
and avoid local friction that this
action is taken. Hereafter the
State Board of Health will take
no part >n the selection of county
health officers. Each county
may select its own, aud the State
will pay him so much for so
work and no more. Local poli
tics will be averted in the choice
of the officers, and the departs
ment will yield to connty officials
first. If they do not deliver, the
maiter will be threshed out
Anew wheu another Legislature
meets.
•The action taken today in too
wise interferes with those coun
tries which employ whole time
health officers independent of
State and Federal aid.
New Breed of Poultry.
La nena is the name given to a
new breed of poultry that has
been developed at the Experi*
mental Farm of tlie United States
Department of Agriculture a'
Beltsville, Md. It has been named
by Secretary Wallace after the
originator, Harry M. Lamon,
senior poultry man of the Bureau
ftf Animal Industry. It is a white
fowl with red ear lobes that lays
a white-shelled egg. White Ply
mouth Hock, Silver Gray Dorkinir,
and White Leghorn were the
breeds used as foundation stock.
The fowls are larger than Leg
horns, with long, deep bodies,
well feathered, aud comb aud
wattles of medium size The new
breed is not ready for introduc-1
tion and noithereggs or fowls cm
be secured. When a sufficient
stock of birds has ueen raised
specimens will be sent to State
agricultural college and experi
ment stations to test their adapt
ability to different sections and
conditions.:..
