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.
