LOUISBURG, N. 0., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1926 (12 Pages) NUMBER 34 DOCTOR CARL TAYLOR SPEAKS At Epsom Community Fair; Lmye itinbtr Excellent Exhibition; la. teres tiag and Enjoyable Day; Some oi the Winners Last Friday spent at Epsom proved a most interesting and enjoyable day to a large crowd who had gathered to "take In" the Epsom Community Fair. This was the first venture of its kind for this progressive and wide awake community and was crowned with the greatest possible success. The exhibits which filled four large rooms In the school building were excellent, as good as could be seen at any fair and showed both know* ledge and experience in the handling of farm problems. The two complete farmers exhibits of H. F. Mitchell and J. D. Newman proved beyoqd a doubt that the farmers can live at home if they wish to and be more independ ently successful than by making cot* ton and tobacco only. The faitcy w^rk department and pantry supplies exhibited by the la dles were as good as'could be wished for, with a large number of exhibits,I and presenting some of the finest and m<*t delicate handicraft It was anj indication that the ladies c< this splen did community had not been lacking1 in Interest while the men were at1 work, but had produced evidence of even greater skill. The live stock was a most lnterest ' ?? part of the program. A large j i.'wUber of work and show animals v t. . exhibited and gave evidence that one asou why the farm products shot/ - I* up so well was because of the j fine c:o.k the community maintain ed for ti.ling the soil. The hogs and sheep were fine and come in for a good share of the attention of the crowd. At 11:30 Dr. Carl Taylor of tha State College faculty spoke to a large crowd at the church across from the' fair grounds on the Importance of community building, and made a won. derful speech. He pointed out the lm portance of making more and better j farm products and farms but show- i ed that unless they also made better community life for their families all would be in vain. He also went Into detail to show that the building of a community is the wprk of all who live in the community and cannot be put over by the Individual, and that it was a work wherein there was no rcom for selfishness. He summed up every need of a community in eight words?food, clothing, shelter, health, education, religion, recreation and friends. Dr. Taylor's speech was Igajtafior enjoyed and presented the importance of community life in a little different angle to his many hearers. He was Introduced by Supt. E. L. Beqt.

I o U I s WINS SERIES . ? *V ~ I In World'* Baseball Championship Sc. rtes At New York Sunday -New York, Oct. 10.?The gaunt weather-beaten figure of Grover Cleve land Alexander came back In all its ancient pitching mastery today to * ""e -Yankees for the third time and clinch the first world's baseball championship that St. Louis has known in 40 years. Through the haze of this crucial test the seventh and deciding game of the 1926 diamond classic, the Yan kee defense cracked to yield the Car. dinals their winning margin of 3 to 2 but It was Alexander the Great who saved the day with as dramatic and exciting a finish as any championship conflict has ever witnessed The bases were full, two were out f .<?n one Yankee run was needed to tie the game in the seventh in ning when Alexander came to the rea cu eof the tottering Cardinal right hander, Jessie Haines, whose finger was split from throwing the knuckle fast. *nd whose t10?'1"01 w?8 ebbing ? It was a situation calculated to test the stoutest heart and the most sea soned skill, with $60,000 and a world's championship hanging in the balance, but Alexander was equal to it Easily Subdues Yanks. Facing Tony Laxzerl, a rokle al most young enough to be his son. the great veteran hitched his trousers on P?*er of a right arm Ui&t has carried h/m through 16 major league campaign/ and struck out his man to retire the side as the crowd broke into a frenzied uproar Safely past this crisis, the most dramatic moment of the game, Alex ander easily subdued the Yanks in the closing two Innings, yielding on ly a pass to Babe Ruth in the ninth aa he completed one of the greatest Pitching exploits In the world's series history. Twice before Alexander had atop ped the American League champions, going the full route to gain victories that pulled the fighting Cardinals each time back to even terms. It was only ySaturday that his masterful box work led the National Leaguers to the tri umph that forced the series to the Umlt. yet he was ready again today as strong sseffective as ever to cap the climax of his heroic role. Not since the famous right arm of Walter Johnson pulled the Senators to their first world's championship has there been anything so colorful as this finish of Alexander'a Two years ago, however, the Big Train came back victoriously after balng twice defeated while this time the stalwart Nebraskan stepped Into the breach with two victories already behind him. Haine* Gets Official Credit Alexander did not get official cred. It today for a victory that would have' put him among the honor roll men who have won three world's series! games. The verdict goes down on the books In Haines name but the glory belbogs to Alexander, the 39-year old warrior who was sold "down the rtver" aohort time afro as a Chicago Cub discard. Thwarted as they were Ijy Alexan der's great stand It was nevertheless a heartbreaking defeat for the Yan kees. who battled desperately to over J??; ? ?argin they had yielded in the fooHh inning when the Cardinals, aided by two errors, by Koneig and Meuael, scored all their three rune It was heartbreaking for Waits Hoyt young righthander, who had twirled brllMantl* even when his support sagged, and It was heartbreaking for Bake Ruth, whose fourth home run of again shattering all worlds1 championship records, had put the Yankees In the lead and upset the confidence of Haines, hero of a shut out victory over the Asset-loan League champions In St. Louis.
