l'HE FRANKLIN COUNTY FAIR
TO OPEN OCTOBER
The Franklin County F*lr will
ipen Its gates to the public tor the
sixteenth time on Octobey * the 28th.
The success of this Fair has' been
most wonderful, as it has grown to
be one of the largest County Flglta
In the State and has the reputation of
having the best exhibits of any County
Fair. This is due largely to the in.
terest and co-operation of the farm
people in the County.
The arrangements for the great
event are nearlng completion and the
best exhibits ever seen here are ex
pected that these exhibits will evun
surpass the wonderful display of last
year. Superintendent Best has had
several meetings with the Vocational
teachers and principals with a view
of having the best display ever seen
In a County Fair. The exhibit space
Is being rapidly taken up and in all
probability will be exhausted before
the end of the present week.
The Franklin County Fair is one
of the best County Fairs in the State
and probably the best attended, and
a record breaking crowd is expected
this year. The Fair opens Tuesday,
October the 28th, and will run
tnrough the entire week. Wednesday,
the 29th, will be Educational Day and
a holiday for all the Schools In the
County. Saturday, November 1st will
be School Day for the colored people

ADDRESSES KIWANIAN8
The Loulsburg Klwants Club at It*
usual weekly luncheon Friday night
was delighted by an address from Dr.
N. Y. Qulley. Dean of the Wake Forest
Law School, who was happily intro
duced by Mr. Edward Griffin, in
charge of the program, dr. Qulley
made a very timely and interesting
talk on the question of taxation. His
discusson dealt mostly with schools
and roads, stating that he was oppos
ed to the State having full control of
either of these. He was confident of
the fact that the State should bear
even a greater part of the tax burden
than it is now doing. He suggested
that the State should build and hare
control of* the general highways in
the counties but that the other county
roads should be left with the local
county authorities; that the State
should pay the salares of all the
teachers for t*<? required six months
term, but that the counties should
take care of all capital outlay and
debt service. He suggested as cer
tain sources of revenue a more eco
nomical function of county and State
government, certain kinds of sale tax
and if need be a gasoline-tax. His
talk was Instructive and entertaining,
and the entire club seemed :deeply in
terested.

Hoover call upon it to reassert the
principles which motivated that army
The President warned his hearers
<n terse sentences that forces abroad
and at home had advanced new the
ories of government that clashed with
the Ideals of their fathers and urged
and abiding faith in those ideals.
"The world about us Is torfedbtad,"
he said, "with the spiritual and eco
nomic struggles that attend changing
ideals and systems. OJd faiths are
being shaken. Bnt we must follow
onr -own destiny. Our tnatitations
are a growth. They come out of our
history us a people. Our Ideals are
too well founded, we can not aban
don them without chaos. We can fol
low them with confidence."
Massed thousands sat within, hear
