FAIR WEEK ALMOST HERE The Fair Annotation, as usual, la illve to the needs and wanta of franklin County people, and besides jringing the best amusement company that will be seen in this section of :h? state this year, the management jus worked out a plan by which every body who brings twelve pounds of ?eed cotton will be admitted to the Fair, except on Wednesday. As the tdmlsslon for that day la fifty cents, it will take twenty four pounds of iolton tor that day. This la indeed a novel idea and it will give everybody In the county an opportunity to come to the hlr, even it they don't want to sell as "much as a whole bale of otton at this time. The exhibits promise to be unus ually good, and already carpenters und workmen are putting the grounds and buildings in snape tor the Fair, which opens at five Q'?lock on Tues day, the 29th. ' Much Interest is already being ?hown among the vocational students, and It Is expected that the display tut on by the five schools having vo cational teachers will be the most Interesting ever shown at any county Fair. All of the schools will be rep resented, and the children will be here In large numbers on Wednesday to scrutinize what is being done by the students In the schools that they do Lot attend. Much constructive rivalry has been rreated In the different schools and oach one Is trying to win the grand jirlze which was won by the Loulsburg school last year. The Secretary informs uh that he ).?? niraiarfy mafia special arrange ments with Mr. Wiley Holmes and the other weather men to furnish noth ing but pleasant fair weather so ev erybody is certain to enjoy a full week at the Ffeir. The idea in changing to night Fair only, with the exception of Wednes day and Saturday, at which time the gates will open at ten o'clock, is one of the best we have heard advanced sc far. This Is a forward step In edu cational amusement, as it will allow people to work all day and attend the Fair at night. This being the first Fair to be held In the state Is an as surance that It will be well attended, as the Franklin County Fair has made an enviable reputation all over the State as being The Best County Fair in The State, hundreds of people will attend from other counties. It Is a k'nd of unwritten law that the Franklin County Fair Is a standard by which all other Fairs are Judged, xnd the people in Franklin County have always manifested a wonderful spirit in co-operating with the Fair Association, and the management thoroughly realizes that It Is this co operative spirit In the people of this county that has made It The Best County Fair in the State. Let's all cttend this year and have a good time. AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY MEETING Mesdames D. T. and R. W.

"Cotton prices below the cost of production are turn ing farmers more and more tQ coop erative marketing as the solution," U. Benton Blalock, vice-president and general manager of the North Car olina Cotton Growers Cooperative As sociation, remarked this week as he looked ovrr a number of new mem bership contracts, Among which was one from a 300-bale grower. The 8tate cooperative is advanc ing its members within one cent per pound of the average open market price and. In addition* la allowing a substantial grade and staple premium on cotton abov? middling 7-8. Mr. Biilock pointed out that in many instances the cooperative ad vance excoeds tha average open mar ket price. "Suppose." he reasoned, "cotton is ?selling for $8.25 on the open market. The cooperative member, in that case, will rc-ceivc an advance of $5.25 and,' in addition, will be fciven a premium on grades and Maples above middling 7-ft If, for example, his cotton is strict middling 1 1-16, his grade pre mium would fee 25 points and his sta ple premium 8f. points ? a total of $1.10. which would bring his advance ten points above the average market price. And he has a chance to recelro still more when the cotton Is sold." Although the season is not yet in full swing, the cooperative receiving agents are already busy receiving cot ton, Mr. Blalock said. The coopera tive cotton season was opened Mon day, September 7. I Three receiving agents and one warehouse have been- appointed to receive cotton in Franklin County. They are: Robert White, Bunn; E. A. Harris. FVankllnton; J. R. Pearce, Youngsville; and Howell's Warehouse Loulsburg. Most husbands have found that los ing their tamper results in locating their wife's. ? _ . INSTALLS NEW EQUIPMENT Local Theatre la Replacing Old Equipment With Western Elec tric. Realizing that talking pictures have reached a point of perfection demanding the best possible repro duction, the management of the Louisburg Theatre Is replacing his old equipment with a Western Elec tric Sound System. In the four years that have elap sed since talking pictures were first heard so many improvements have been made in' the art that they can be be*rd at their best only with the most up-to-date apparatus. The Western Electric Sound System meets this qualification because It has constantly maintained the lead in scientific development and in faithful reproduction of the human voice. The managements choice was made only after a survey of all available equipment and in the be lief that his patrons are entitled to the highest quality of sound repro duction that can be obtained, regard less of expense. In doing this he is following the lead of 6,000 other theatre managers who have install ed Western Electric, 1,400 of whom uf equipment. Western Electric engineers are how making the installation at this theatre which will be completed dur ing this week giving the first show Saturday, ClarkGableln "Sporting -Blood."? __ ; ? -Thla-4nstaIl?tion places.
