THE COURIER ISSUED WEEKLY PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN $2.00 A YEAR LN AD VAN CI VOLUME XLVQ RANDOLPH COUNTY FAIR lOPENED YtSTtRUAi; ' ' GOOD ATTENDANCE The gates of the Randolph county fair were formally opened at eleven o'clock yesterday. Dr. J. G. Crutch AmiA nruiiiUnt nf the fair association. Mr. W. C. York, secretary, and other officials of the fair association and Mayor J. D. Ross, of Asheboro, were present and participated in the open ing exercises which marked the be ginning of the DOM I air neia in me history of the county. For several months preparations have been under way. Six acres oi lana were purcnas ed in the northern section oi the town on which three modern bull amps nave been erected. In addition stalls for livestock, booths for restaurants and reservation for amusements. The en tire grounds have been decorated by a special decorator, Mr. Renner, of Winston-Salem. The fence enclosing the fair ground is wearing multi-colors, advertising all kinds of business, local, state and national. ' The Buildings and Exhibits. Probably the best collection of ag ricultural and industrial displays ever assembled in piedmont Carolina is housed in the main exhibit building. The most notable display of pantry exhibits and everything in the culin ary line cakes, candies, breads, and canned fruits and vegetables. The horticultural exhibits are far beyond the expectation of those in charge. The art exhibit corsists of paint ings in oil, water and pastel, also China painting pottery and basketry reflects much credit upon the artistic tastes of the women of Randolph. The floral department in the center of the main exhibit building makes a splendid appearance. The educational display evinces the fact that the edu cational side of the citizenship of the county has had attention. Splendid exhibits from various schools are re flecting credit upon teachers and pu pils. The Ramseur school ha:; the larfett display. The agricultural display has already outgrown its space and will prove of interest to everyone as well as the "tillers of the soil." In one corner of the main exhibit building is the dis play of the colored people of the county. Their work is well arranged and shows much talent. One of the most interesting displays is that of fancy work which includes alLtttnds. af needlework,. . .crocheting, knitting, weaving, etcr It has beeft de scribed as the best collection ever ex hibited in the state. On the right hand side of the building are the ex hibits representing the different busi ness places of Asheboro and else where. Products from the mills and factories show what the county is do ing. The automobile building glistens with cars advertising different makes while the various industries are also represented by creditable displays. The cackling of the fowls and the harking of the canines announce the poultry and dog quarters and upon en tering the visitors are impressed with the care which has been exercised by the poultry and dog people of the county. ' Splendid wire coops have been built in, and every convenience added for the care and -convenience of the dogs and fowls. In this building on Friday wfll be held a bench show at eleven o'clock which will prove of in tense interest. The bee .Mid sheep display under state experts are prov ing intensely interacting. Livestock Department. Practically all Tuesday afternoon farmers brought in livestock which al ready shows the most notable display at any exhibition in the county. Practically all of the best farms of the county have contributed and ex pert breeders will act as judges. Leonard Tufts, of Pinehurst,- has sent in a number of fine Berkshire hogs. Mr. Tuft will probably be pie vented from sending an exhibit of dairy cattle because pf the fact that his best cows have been on a milk test and will not be available. Billie Clark's shows occupies consid erable space in the grounds and it seems all kinds of entertainment and amusement may be found. This is a larger amusement company than was expected- but the majority of the fair visitor will probably have more op portunities for sport. The grounds are simply alive with refreshment places, and amusement stands. The air dome, hobby hones, games of chance, house of nirth and all gaities attendant upon the majority of fain is present hen. The fair officials assure the public that law and order wil) prevail, a large number of deputies have been elected te' assist the city policemen in keeping everything running in the proper channel and in handling traf fic Edseatloaal Day Yesterday.

"CAPITOL" TO BE NAME OF ASHEBORO'S NEW THEATRE , Mrs. R. E. Johnson Has Honor of Naming New House Mrs. Annie L. Morris and James M. Burns Award ed Second Prize. i The name for the new theatre has finally been selected. The judges af- 'ter tearing themselves away from such intriguing names as "Cookie Pusher" and "Spark Plug" settled down to a process of elimination in which Capitol after due consideration was declared the winner, and a season pass will be awarded Mrs. R. E. Johnson, who has the ' honor of naming the new house. At first the officials did not intend awarding a second prize, but the final race was so close that Mrs. j Annie L. Morris and James M. Burns will each be awarded a pass for thir ty days for their suggestion of "Whitehaven." There was no end of 'excellent names received, there being jmore than two hundred suggested. After the prizes were awarded there were enough good ones left to name every theatre in the state. There were several points considerd in the 1 selection of a name, among which was brevity, meaning and general applica tion to the theatre. The method of selection was perfectly fair, inasmuch as the names submitted were entered on a separate sheet of paper, and se lection made from this without seeing the name of the person making the suggestion. Manager White in an- nouncmg the winner stated that he appreciated, very much the interest manifested iri the contest; "and1 wish ed to thank each Derson submitting a name. Among the names received, 14 suggested The Whiteway, 8 the Pal ace, 7 Imperial, 5 Amuzu, 5 Lyric, fj Dixie, 4 Carolina, 4 National, 13 Fairy land, 3 Paramount, 3 Princess, 3 Pas time, 3 Royal, 3 Strand, two each or the following: Broadway, Central, Dixonian, Dixon, Happy Hour, Holly wood, Ideal, Liberty, Lubera, Majes tic, Roseland, Tivoli, and one each of the following: Arlington, Alpha.

Hopes that had still clung were blighted, and while the whole town was saddened, the news was taken in a most calm man ner. It is said by experienced miners that the condition of th mine plain ly showed that the men could not have lived longer than five hours aft er the beginning of the fire and that their deaths had been painless, the gas first producing a lethargy, then coma which resulted in death. Two or 'three notes written within three hours after the fire started were found, they statd that the gas condition was very bad. Eighteen of the forty -seven men I were married, and they leave twenty- jfive orphans. The bodies were brought to the surface wrapped in can van as they were In such a state that it wan Impossible to identify them. NEW SCHEDULE BISCOE AND MT.

Overman has receiv ed many messages of sympathy since suffering from a fall some two weeks ago in Washington w hen he broke one of the bones in his foot. Probablv one message is a little dearer to the heart than the others, and that came from ex-President Woodrow Wil.-on. It ran as follows: "My Dear Senator: "I learned only yesterday of the ac cident to your ankle, which I air afraid must be very painful. I send you this line to express mv sincere re gret and great sympathy. We must, 1 think, leave all mis-steps to the Re publicans, and 1 advise you as a true Democrat hereafter to '"watch your step." We must all keep as lit as pos sible for the great tasks immediately ahead ot us as a nation and as a party. Hoping that your inconvenience aiiu distress will be very short-lived, "Faithfully yours, ' WOODROW WILSON."

THREE MEN INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Three young men of Greensboro al most miraculously escaped de: tb Sat urday evening when the Stutz car in which they were riding went down an embankment and fell 70 or 100 feet to a branch Udow. The young men were Ralph Justice and R. L. Thomp son, Jr., of Greensboro, and William Farr, of Asheville, who is manager of an electrical shop in Greensboro. From what could be learned shortly afterward, the car was going down the long hill in front of the Masonic home when they met a street car com ing up the hill. In attempting to dodge the street car, the automobile jumped the road, causing the acci dent. The men were thrown into a sot of soft earth and grass which heled to break the force of the fall. It is thought that all will recover un less some complications set in. Farr is the most seriously injured of the three having severe ruts and bruises about the head ami face, with a pos sibility of interna) injuries. MISS MARY ROSE RRIDE OF MR.

HiiHincMn Shows Recovery. Husiness, from all reports, is mak ing a better recovery from the striket than was anticipated, the soft coal output running close to 10,000,000 tons a week and supplies of coal are sufficient to keep the steel Industrie going at 60 per cent capacity. Coal Is not such a factor at the present time as adequate transportation. The supply of Idle cars is reaching the vanishing point, but with the settle ment of the railroad strike, repair work will progress rapidly and short ly it is expected there will be soffl dent cars to meet the country's de mands.
