Direc tors and governors of the twelve Fed eral Reserve banks today refused to support the proposal of Secretary Mc Adoo to open the new banking system for business November 1.

The anion haa no binding effect upon the reserve board or upon Mr, McAdno, for the currency act glvea ths Secretary' authority to open the bank! when he believes they are ready to do business. Ir was evident tonight that mem tiers of the hoard were not pleased with the recommendation of the hanks, and It la possible a meeting of the board within tho next few days will develop sufficient sentiment to bring a vote asking the Secretary i 3m a date earner tha Was'sa. her !. v Discussion of Ihe opening data was taken up immediately after the bank ers returned from the White House where 1 'resident Wilson declared his belief that the best thing for ths country waa to open the banks at the artiest possible date. 8 perches were made at the confer ence by men representing every one of the twelve hsnka No sectional dif ference of opinion was apparent, hut the smaller of the Reserve banks - repo lorted that they were more nearly prepared to open on the ISth, than thftjwi n New Vork. Chicago. St. Iuls tnd other larger cities. The argument ncalnst opening of the lth waa largely that it was physically impos- Ihi" for the directors to get ready. In several Instances the directors have -lot yet chosen their governors and In many rases .quarters have yet to be -elected. ' Some of the Southern bankers were particularly anxious for an early opening because of the aas I stance the federal lianks might give In taking ars of the cotton crop. It was said -tonight the directors would go home tomorrow and begin work preliminary to opening If the reaerve hoMrd later finds that there s every reason to believe a simul- ftneous.opcnMg oil JCovember lth. or November 20th can be accomplished n spite of opinions to the contrary Xpressed here iottgy, the date will e nxfd The board already has voted ro open all the hanks at the same Inie. but It is possible that this de- -Islon lll be changed if any special reasons sre discovered to make open ing of part of the banks before 1 ffst. desirable.

Tho "tats unloosed Its people In line faith from town and country, and thev poured Into the Capital City. If In the usual proportion of Wednesdays to Thursdsya, the festival today bids fair In be a record breaker. Today the schools and colleges will 'urn loose their students upon tho grounds. A. and M., Meredith, Peace, Ht. Mary's, Wake Forest. Chapel Hilt, Trinity and the Raleigh i'ublia schools will do much to swell the at tendance. When to this is added crowds from the surrounding country who always wait for Thrueday. "the big day." to come to Raleigh, there-is mall wonder that the anticipation of the fair officials la screwed up to the highest pitch. Said Colonel Joseph E. . Pogua ywo terday: "The fair, thus far, haa en tlretr cpme up to our expectations, last week had a very gloomly out look, to be sure. But with the fine weather and the finer crowds there la no question about ths unmeasured success of this fair." The gate re ceipts yesterday were greater than those of Thursday laat year Mttle Public Disorder. There Is one outstanding fact Us distinguish this fair from many others which have preoeded It. There Is no disorder. There Is a capable corps of special -officers on duty with in the walla of the fair grounds There are mounted and , unmounted police men, byt they. have very little tn do except In the -way of looking out for traffic. Thus far there haa been an unusually small, number of cases of public drunkenness. On the Fair grounda the shows aro of higher clasa than uaual. Tho midway attractions are noticeably lacking In gambling games, and chance contesta There are no candy wheels no poodle dog games, for Attorney-General" Klckett ruled these tblmts out in a general opinion made upon the request of the State Fair officials 1 -ft dies yesterday' were not harassed by that great aasortment of snnoyera which, at one time, were the curse of the Great Htate Fair. Whips were not on sale and their use Is prohibited. And at ths ssme time there waa Juat aa much jollity, Just aa much of tho holiday spirit. Just as much witchery among the" girls, and Jus(. as much of the spirit to dare among tneloys Sat' there ever haa been. Nobody la sorry that the torture sticks have been rul ed out. Blind Boys Happy. , One group of attendants atthi. State Fair, thus far. have enjoyed It to" Ibe limit. These are the student of the Ktate Institution for the Blind. On Tuesday the entire student body of boys was decked out in blue uni forms This is a departure for the school and one which the students seem very proudjitAll Ihe uni forms yeaferday were heW and spot less and their wearers, few of' whom are totally blind, could not refrain from an unconscious strut. lie Uoyd Thompson.
