The fair opened Wednesday morn
Ing, 3rd. The opening of the fair was
favored by ideal weather and long be
fore the hour for the procession to
start, the streets were thronged with
people from all parts of Lee, Moore,
Chatham, Harnett and other counties.
It was hard to estimate the crowd.
Thursday was the big day of the fair.
The crowd was as large, if not larger,
than on Thursday of the fair last year.
The people were well dressed and their
appearance indicated proeperty. As
a rule they were well behaved. Very
few men were seen under the influence
of liquor and only a few arrests were
made during the fair. The people
elbowed each other with a smile and
were out for fun and amusement, to see
the exhibits, the carnival and the fly
ing machine.
The fair was opened with a short
speech by Congressman R. N. Page at
the Graded School building. He was
Introduced by Mr, C, L. Williams. Mr.
Page talked about the progress and
development of Sanford and I*ee ooun
ty and the work of our progressive,
public sprlrited citizens. He spoke of
the material progress and development
going on all over the State and em
phasized the importance of .protecting
the health of the children so as to make
them strong, active citizens. At the
conoluslun of hla talk the fair parade
formed in front of the school building
and marched through Steele, Wicker,
Moore and Carthage streets and cross
ing over near floral hall proceeded
through Chatham street to the Wicker
street crossing and from there it turn
ed in to Cole street near the Sanford
Hotel, returning to Steele street and;
to the starting point where it disband- i
ed. The prooession was led by Chief
Marshal Cbas. Reeves, Next came the i
band followed by about forty mounted
marshals wearing handsome badges.
They were followed by about 1,500
school children. This was a feature of
the parade. Many of the ilttle girls
were dressed in white. The teachers
ryi the different sohdOii were in charge
of the children and at the head of eaoh
lohool was carried a banner bearing
kho name. The following sobools were
included: Jonesboro, Pocket, Cum
nock, Salem, Big Springs, Rose Bud,
Lemon Springs, Harnett Hill, Hunt
Springs, Tramway, Broadway, Cool
Springs, Poplar 8prlngs, White Hill,
Yadkin Hill, Colon, Pleasant Hill,
Dak Grove, Sanford and Swapn Sta
tion, Next came the fair official* and
ipsaktr tf the day la automobiles and
carriages. They were followed bjr «>*
floats. Mr. J. H. Monger had a W
attractive float In the parade, also the
Central Carolina Hospital. The float
from the tobacco farm of Messrs. T. B,
Cross And Dolpb Grlffln did not f»U *°
attract Attention. It wme a emAll tobec*
oo barn on wheels And was made by .
Ur. B Ba Smhh. Uui onme a large
number of corn club boys of the county
mounted On mulea and horses. Some Of
these boys carried ear* of corn strung,
across tbelr shoulders* In the perade
was a big percbefOn iJorse from the
Egypt farm at Cuesseelk A. boy in a
Mfcgw- piUd ***** flK- brought
dp tbe rear. . ■"*
v The doors oHbe Gilf flfUr l* which
tbe exhibits were made, were thrown
open to tbe public, and soon tbe people
were viewing tbe large number of ar
ticles displayed. The agricultural and.
Horticultural displays were made on
tbe flr»t floor and the fine arte, needl#
and fancy work, pantry supplies, canned
fruits and vegetables, antique curiosi
ties, and work of schools, etc , 00 the
second floor. Tbe exhibits were not
as numerous in soyne departments as
they were last -year, but it was 4be
opinion of people who attended both
fairs that they were bettdr this year..
Tbe features of the fair were tbe
school and canning club exhibits. The
canning club exhibit was a new 1 de
partment at the. fair, so far ae club
work was concerned, and much interest
was.manifested in this splendid display:
of canned fruits and vegetables.
Early in the season some friends Of,
the work offered a number of prizes to
members of the panning clubs. These
prise# were on display »t tbe Fair nna
were won by the following girls:
Five dollar# In gold offered by Mr.
Henry Matthew# for the girl who
canned most tomatoes from one-tenth
of an acre, won by Tina Ddwd, eleven
year old daughter of M. O. Dowd* with
a record of 600 can#. Her two sisters
packed over 400 cans each.
Mr. J. H. Monger gave a half barrel
of Perfection flour to the girl who made
a creditable record, and packed largest
number of can# with fruit that would
otherwise go to waste on the farm,
This was won by Maggie Bridge#* of
t^e Broadway club. ,1
Lee.Furniture Company gave a $6.00
rooking chair to the girl who kept the
moat accurate record of her yearV work.
This was won by Maggie Thomas, Of
the Hunt Spring# club.
Mr. W. F. Cheara gave a platter of
beautiful design to the girl who made
the best record in her club, kept the
best record and sent in the beat booklet,
promptness being stressed. This was
won by Mattie Poe, of the Pocket club.
Mrs. Raymond Falrcioth, CUntQm.
Cole, give #1.09'to the VoOI Springe
girl making best all round record in
Cool Springs section. This went to
Claudia Groce.
Mrs. J. H. Henley gave tl.00 each to
Belle Oldham and Viola McBryde,mem
bers of her clubs for perseverence.
These girls overcame difficulties thai
many an older person would hare felt
were Insurmountable. Tomato diseases,
floods and cyclone, heavy home duties
and other drawbacks did not daunt
these plucky little girls.
The club girls feel very grateful to
the friends who so generously donated
the prizes. They had not thought of
entering their glass packs for prem
iums, but the judges in the Pantry De
partment found so much excellence that
thirteen first premiums and six second
premiums were awarded them. These,
added to the oneB carried off at the
•State Fair at Raleigh and tbe Cape
Fear Fair at Fayetteville, made them
feel that the lessons taught them the
past summer had been worth while. A
beautifully arranged display of packs in
tin formed the background for three
pyramids of glass packs. Peaches,
beans, dewberries, tomatoes and kraut,
In number three cans, and beans and
tomatoeB, In number two cans, were
opened and the contents poured Into
several glass bowls, to show the quality
and quantity.
Several cases of stuff were sold dur
ing the Fair to merchants, and small
orders filled to private families. The
girls packed nearly 18,000 cans in tin
this year in Lee county and several of
them are entirely sold out.
Miss Powell, expert, from Washing
ton City, especially complimented the
Lee oounty girls on their beautiful
packs of beans. These and corn on the
oob were the most admired here. Cook
books anu other literature were distrib
uted by the club girls. Long leaf pfne
was used as decoration.
Among the many pretty packs in
glass we noticed peas, beans, whole
tomatoes, peaches, apples, pears, rhu
barb, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob,
figs, okra, dewberries, cherries, squash,
pumpkin, egg plant, citron, and several
varieties of pickles, jellies, preserves
and fruit julces.
The agents, Mrs. Henley, Mrs Mc
Leod and Misses Cole and Brooks, have
just cause for pride In the work done
by the five dubs of girls In the county
this year. No preservatives of any k ind
are allowed. Sterilization and absent te
oleanliness are the only agents employed
to preserve fruits and vegetables m Co*
The glass paoks are done in the same
manner, only more care Is taken in the.
arrangement of the contents.
Only girls between the ages of It' and.
18 years were eligible for prizes- Thej
must have records of orops and these
must be ksajad in on time. Negleol
of this oaused some girls with good
records to mlse prizes.
The exhibit* In fine arts and paint
ing* were very muoh admired by all
who visited floral hall. One of the
best things In this department wae
the pastel work of ohlldren who had
not taken lesson* more than si* month*.
The work oon*l*ted of oil, water color*
pastel, sepia and crayon. Some of the
work, was from. nature tome q» *hi„

Many of the articles In the needle and 8
^fancy work department were handsom- j
fr thaD lh08e displayed last year al- 1
phough the exhibit was not so large. 8
X)ne article that attracted no llittle
Attention was the pair of stockings t

| The News and Observer Again
Burned Out.
The building and its contents of
the Ralegh News and Observer
were the second time destroyed by
tire the morning of November 6th.
With it were burned a number of
adjacent buildings, piling up a total
dre loss of nearly $400,000. The
other buildings burned are the E.
M, Uzzell Company’s printing bouse,
and the annex to the Raleigh apart
ment building, the Wake Shoe Store,
the Crystal Theater, Baptist Book
Store, and the J. L. O’Quinu flower
depot; also a second story storage
section, in which was stored furni
ture of the old Raleigh hotel valued
at $10,000.
Nothing was saved from the News
and Observer but proof of the mail
ing list and the advertising records.
While assisting in the removal of
books from the business office, W.
H, Bagley, business manager, col
lided with flremen who were rush
ing through the main eutrauee and
jammed him against a glass door in
such a way that his left arm was
terribly lacerated, an artery being
severed. Mr. Bagley was rusned to
the hospital, t lie flow of blood stayed
and the wounds dressed; and to the
amazement of his frieuds he was
back at the scene of the tire within
less than two hours afterwards and
directed the apening of temporary
quarters for the business and news
offices.
In the fall of the wall of the Uzzell
building two flremen were thrown
through the roof into the Crystal
Theatre building. It, was feared for
a time both had gone to their death,
but they extricated themselves un
aided.
The greatest excitement pr vailed
in the Raleigh apartment building,
as the fire continued to spread.
The State loses $60,000 in burned
Supreme Court Reports, several
thousand volumes miscellaneous law
and other publications, and a large
stock of white paper used in the
State printing Insurance, $19 000.
In the fire that destroyed the News
and Observer almost three years ago
the loss was $115,000, and the pres
ent will amount to $150,000.
