FRIDAY, OCTOBER SO, IPSO EIGHT PAGES) LARGE CROWDS Attend fair SUPT. IRWIN SPEAKS TO THE MANY VISITORS Floral Hall Filled With Ex "" hibits of High Character ? Live Stock Exhibit Ex cellent ? Midway One Of Best in Years ? Dr. Flem ing Putting Over Fair In Big Way Visitors to Franklin County Fair the past week were greeted with one of the largest and best midways that has been on exhibi tion here in many years and a large, varied and especially credit ably display of farm, home and Art exhibits. The floral hall was practically filled with many. ,?f Franklin County's farm produces and all of a high and noteworthy quality. The rair opened Monduy even ing but exhibits were brought in Including Tuesday. The big feature of the fair this year was the address of Supt. Irwin on Wednesday afternoon, when be was greeted with a large number of people from this and adjoining counties. The address of State Superin tendent Clyde A. Erwin at the Franklin County Fair on Wednes day was very fitting for such an occasion. Mr. Erwin discussed the agricultural situation in ?orth Carolina and stressed the need for an agricultural program that will render our rural people economically independent and a program that will promote a sat isfying sort of life on the farm. He called attention to the neces sity for greater conservation of our natural resources and com mended our people In this county for the efforts they are making ? along this line. He stressed the fact that. In his opinion, this bet ter type of farming and more sat isfactory rural life must come through education, and he called for a type of education that will tend to lit boys and girls to lead happy, wholesome and worthy lives on our farm rather than to induce them to leave the farms and go to our town and cities. Superitendeni Erwin Is always an attractive speaker, but Wednes day In speaking to a large repre sentation of Franklin County cit izens he made, what many of his friends believe his best speech. He was very happily introduced by Supt. G. B. Harris, of Frank linton. The Judging was made on Wed nesday and Thursday and we hope to get a complete list of the winners for publication. The live stock exhibit and the farm machinery was especially creditable. Today will be one of the big days, and tomorrow will l>e set apart for colored people, which will also be a big day. The free acts are receiving much favorable comment and are especially fine. The many attending the fair at night report a high order of entertainment and splendid order. Dr. A. H. Fleming, the effic ient Secretary, who Is putting Franklin County Fair over In * big way, entertained quite a num ber of Invited guests at a lunch eon at Franklin Hotel Wednesday in honor of Supt. Clyde A. Erwin, which was greatly enjoyed. If you haven't already attended the fair do so. and If you have go again. You will enjoy It.

I need not * * remind you of the Hoover cart days, when farm * i * products had ao value, when every bank in our * * County was closed, when men and their families * * were walking the highways hungry, cold, and in * * destitute circumstances, and some of the very best * * citizens of our County were losing their homes on * * account of their inability to pay taxes, for these * * things, I am sure, will long be remembered by our * * citizens. * * Franklin D. Roosevelt was chosen as the Leader * I * of our country, and he took office in 1933, since * * which time you have gotten a fair price for your * * farm products, you have been able to pay your * * taxes, you have discarded the Hoover cart and are * * now riding in a good automobile, the banks in offir"* * County and in the Nation are in excellent condi- * * tion, and your deposits are safe, and a great number * * of you have bought home; under this Roosevelt * * prosperity. ? * Tour State Democratic Administration has like- * * wise made great strides within the past four years, * * giving your child an eight month's school without * * any tax on your property, giving you excellent roads * * to ride upon without any tax on your property, and * * retiring a goodly amount of our State debt by a * * conscientious business-like Administration. * * At the beginning of 1933, more than half of the * * counties of our State were in default and unable to * * meet their current running expenses, but I am happy * * to relate that Franklin County was never in default, * * and is today in the best financial condition that it * * has been in within the past thirty years, and the * * democratic office-holders of Franklin County are to * * be commended and congratulated for this flrje * * record. * * I appeal to every man and woman of our County * * to go to the polls early on next Tuesday, November * * the 3rd, and cast a straight Democratic ticket in ap- * * preciation of the fine record made by the Democratic * * party in the administration of our affairs in the * * Nation, State, and County. * * . .The Democratic primary is long past and over. * * A majority of pur party have spoken, and nave ?e- * * lected men and women of high character and -un- * * blemished record as their nominee*, they deserVe * I * your every support at the poll*. Keep your record * * in such shape that you can have it handed down to * * your children, as it was handed down to you by your * * forefathers, "I HAVE ALWAYS VOTED A * * STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET FROM TOP * * TO BOTTOM, AND HAVE NEVER SCRATCHED * * THE NAME OF A NOMINEE OF MY PARTY." * * If you are any better off now than you were under * * the dark days of Hoover, show your gratitude and * * appreciation on next Tuesday, by going to the polls * * and taking your neighbor with you, and voting a * * straight Democratic ticket. * * EDWARD F. GRIFFIN, * * Chairman Democratic Executive Committee. * * A. F. JOHNSON, Secretary. * *** **** ******** Gaston County 1b harvesting one of it? largest hay crops al though recent rain has damaged the quality sompwliat.

He is expected to arrive in Louisburg this week and take up his work. Tells The Tale Raleigh. Oct. 26. ? "This week tells the tale." declared State Democratic Chairman J. Wallaco Wlnborne. "It is the most Im portant week of the Campaign. "Reports from every section of the State show that there are more Democrats on the registra tion book today than have ever been eligible to vote In any elec tion In the history of the State. But we must not forget that there has been a great increase In Re pnbllcan registration, also, and thpt the enemy Is throwing more money into this campaign than they have in years. "The Republican command thinks that It can use Its money to stir up dlssention In the ranks of the Democratic party-? or, at least, It did think so. Perhaps by now it realizes that Its efforts have failed. If not, it will find that out a week from Tuesday. ''If the Democrats sustain their drive, we will poll a record vote. If, however, we take things easy, the party's nominees merely will win by a curtailed majority which will not express North Carolina's confidence In President Roosevelt, Clyde R. Hoey and the Democrat ic party as a whole. "For that reason I call upon overy Democrat to keep up the light until the night of Tuesday, November 3. We must get out the vote. We have a huge ma jority but the only way to show it is to get the voters to the polls and get the voles in the ballot boxes. "I'm not worried aboul how North Carolina Democrats will vote ones they get to the polls. I'm not worried about any ticket scratching. My only fear Is an over-confidence which will result in a failure to get out the full vote In those counties where there Is no local Republican op position. "The Democrats In the clOBe counties will deliver. I am call ing upon the Democrats in the overwhelmingly Democratic coun ties to do the same thing. If they get out and work this week, Pres ident Roosevelt will know what North Carolina thinks of him, his fallow nominees in state and na tion, and the Democratic party," Jackson County farmers will oonserve soil this winter by stop ping gullies with small brush dams.
