When the Chatham County Agri cultural Fair opened last Tuesday morning, the editor of this paper had a run into with one of the gamblers that were on the grounds early to rake in the coin from the innocent. He was made to give the young man his money back and the authorities soon thereafter closed his "joint" up, but there were some five or six others who operated throughout the dura tion of the Fair. It is a regrettable fact that we cannot have a Fair with out these scoundrels that follow a carnival. Young people naturally crave a chance to make some "easy" money Cjuicklv, and these fakirs afford a splendid opportunity for them to part with a few hard earned dollars, there fore it is all the more important tnat the robbers should be prevented from pitching tent at our Fairs at all. Not only from the standpoint of losing money, but the questionable influenc es and demoralizing effect that they have on the folks that attend. The popular mind judges civic mor ality largely in terms of density of population, and in a measure it is right. However, there are some things for which the moral consciousness of . . . ,,. -. j. j.jj is no- "immoral" ciiv won l swuu but for which the small town, small citv or rural community will. A short time ago, for example, ten men were bound over by a New York City po lice court for trial in a higher tribun al nn th rharo-e of operating an im proper amusement feature. Yet the kind of amusement for the production of which they were held, as criminals, is not only permitted in the vast majority of the small towns but is welcomed at places, such as agricul tural fairs, where the people from the country come chiefly for diversion and entertainment. The like were at our fair; they were at Mebane, at Ashe boro and "all the other fairs that have already been held, and they will be in Greensboro, Raleigh and all the oth er fairs yet to be held. The ten men referred to operated what is known as a "carnival show." Although it operated under the aus pices of an American Legion Post, the New York police arrested the principals who, as stated, were held under bail for trial. Both the govern or and the mayor ordered these shows suppressed in New York. The real reason that these carnival shows come to a town under the aus pices of some local lodge, organiza tion, agricultural fair or local cause, is because they all violate one or more sections of the state laws which pro hibit lotteries, games of chance, gam bling and indecent shows, and they need the influence of some local or ganization to protect them from po lice interference. They should be out lawed and we want the effort to start right now before we even contemplate our next Fair, that no shows or gam bling devices of any character will be countenanced again in Siler City. It is the rural section that suffers because the town "boob" is usually on to all these games and is not so easily drawn into the mesh, while the country folks are left to the tender mercies of the sharps who operate the "concessions" which are inseparable features of the traveling carnival. The traveling carnival is nothing more nor less than a bunch of gam blers, lewd women and robbers. The demoralizing effect of such carnivals is seldom realized by the people of any small town. The distastrous re sults of the moral and physical health nf Via v nun or mn ivhpvp tnf ramiva! v' - w ? - - snpnrl?; a wpplr. rariTint. hf eradicated by the churches in years to come. Now, in conclusion, we want to say that the foregoing should not be tak en as a criticism in any manner of the management of the Fair. Those in authority were in the same position as we were or anyone else would have been. They were doing everything possible to furnish as much enter tainment and make the Fair as en joyable as possible; it was merely a misfortune that the wrong kind of .show folks got here, but we can pre vent it in the future. The Fair was good so far as the exhibits went. Not near so many peo as should made exhibits, but those that did had as creditable showing as can be found anywhere. The stock, poultry, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats and all live stock were well displayed and of a pleasing apearance; it would do anybody good to look at them. The fancy work, exhibits from the home finrl f m vm upro n 1 n rw 1 1 r 1 '.ind cnmc nf them deserve especial mention. Fancy work, canned vegetables, and fruits, the local booths and all the desirable entertaining features were good and we are glad that so many people come to see them. The attendance was good and while the Fair did not clear it self financially, it was attributable to causes that could not be controlled, the. principal one being that of the extreme dry weather, causing so much dust that the attendance was lessen ed. Then, too, the best features that had been secured by the secretary did not materialize, the attractions hav ing violated their contract made with the secretary.

"Congratulations to Pittsboro 'is m order. That old but good town, the county seat of Chatham county, turn ed on electric lights for the first time Saturday night, and "the citizens of the town celebrated the occasion oy closing their places of business and assembling in the court house where very apropriate speeches were made prior to the evening program of the Radcliffe Chautauqua." It is a source of gratification to the older citizens of Fayetteville that the town of Pittsboro is beginning to .wa rrnc nf nmprrpss. In the davs before the railroads, Fayetteville and Pittsboro were closely bound togeth er bv the bonds of commerce and trade, which were cemented into bonds of mutual esteem and friendship. Pittsboro's people are tine people. Manv of the old families of the town have" become greatly decimated! or have moved away, but the sentiment and memory remain.
