URGES CITIZENS TO HAVE
EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR
To the People of Beaufort county
and Washington:
The management of the North
Carolina state fair, of which 1 am
one of the executive committee, has
asked me to encourage our county,
to have an exhibit of our county's
resources and product- at the fair
this fall in Raleigh. I heartily ap
prove of this suggestion, for the
state fair is a place where we can
get much publicity if we show the
people who come there what we
have.
Beaufort county la one of the fa
vored spots of the earth, blessed
with climate, abundant rainfall, soli
fertility, rail and water transpor
tation to the big markets of the
Umatry. ajxd local market? that are
growing and certain to continue to
grow. We can raise an unlimited
variety of products, and in big
quantities.
But the world does not know of
our section. We can make the sta
ple crops, corn, cotton, vegetables,
the truck crops, fruit, cattl<\ hogn,
anything almost we want to. or at
least so much of so many thlngn
that we will never till our land* to
the limit of their productive power.
Every market town in the county is
convenient to a railroad, and our
water transportation is Impossible to
Improve on. If we were designing
a county wo could not make a bet
ter plan than tho general plan of
Beaufort.
Unfortunately the world is not' r
ware of this. Wo could find room
here for thousands of good aetUers,
but the world Is not aware of that
We could feed a population grester
than any of us imagine, hut we have
not acquainted the world with that
fact. We have not shown what we
can do. What we want Is to get to
the Stat?? fair a good, telling ex
hibit of what we can; jo In Beau
fort, and let the people know our
resources and what we csn make of
them.
Thia must be done right away,
and can be done without trouble If
the people will take a hand In it.
Discuss the situation and arrange
tor exhibit* of everything we can
show. The fair association offers
liberal premiums for the best coun
ty exhibits, and we can't afford to
have other counties not ha'f as well
situated as we are make an effort
for the premiums and we nit 011 the
fence and see the crowd get the
benefit lof the publicity this will
give.
1 want the farmers and the busi
ness people and the commissioners
and the school authority and health
authorised and everybody to Join in
profiting by this chance. It costs
us nothing (or apace at the fair, as
the association Is eager to give the
stale the widest possible publicity.
Como and help to get the movement
under way. and let us ehow the
country what kind of a land we have
here around Washington, and no
body can tell what the money value
of such an exhibit will be. It will
be able to exert an influ-nce reach
ing over years, and as wide in its
extent as the range of country from
which people will come to the fair.
We have not a long lime now to
arrauge for this thing, ao let uk get
at it right away, and begin to pick
out the things we will send to Ra
lelgh. The farmers are urn l t?
select some of the thlnp they .iilnk
will show up wel\ au<! rave tJ--*in

Let us see what we can show
th'- world concerning the Sound
country, which we all know Im one
of the best placen on the creatod
