Three Years Ago
Three years ago I started to work
in this county. It was new to me,
as well as your faces. Today there
are still faces in the county I do not
know, but I just wanted to say upon
the close of three years’ work and the
beginning of the fourth, that I more
than appreciate your help and co-op
eration.
We are now better acquainted with
each other, and have a better concep
tion of what we are trying to do, so
let’s pull together for the biggest
year in the Agricultural life of the
county. It takes co-operation and
team work and I hope that we are
going to have it this year as never
before in this county. When that
time comes Randolph is going to take
her place at the head of the list as
the best county in the State where
she belongs. Who is going to help put
her there T Surely everyone will ans
wer I.
Randolph County Fair
Now is the time to begin making
preparations for the big fair this
fall. The officials of the fair associ- ,
ation are at work on the new grounds j
and buildings getting them in shape
and from present appearances we are
going to have one of the best equipped
fairs so far as the grounds and build
ings are concerned that there is to be
found in the State.
There has been the complaint in the !
past that we did not have room, and
rightly so, for the old grounds were j
too small. That i- conceded by the
fair association in the fact that they
sold the old plant and are spending
large sums of money in order to have
a modem plant where we can have a
real fair.
Last year the exhibits at the Rand
olph Fair, although it was a bad
year, and fair week was one of the
worst in years for a fair, were a cred
it to any county and second to none
in the State. This year we hope to
have a better season, and we are as
sured that we will have real exhibit
halls to take care of the exhibits. This
should be a banner year for a Rand
olph Fair.
The livestock of the county is rap
idly improving along all lines, cattle,
hogs and poultry. We have livestock
in the county that is a credit to any
section of the State, and I hope that
the farmers who own livestock of this
kind will put it in shape for the fair
and bring it out. It is due to the cou
ty and people as a whole to be per
mitted to see this stock and to real
ize the class of livestock that is being
raised in the county.
New and modem buildings are be
ing provided so as to show the live
stock to the best advantage. The cattle
this year will be put in a building and
lined up from one end to the other so
that the people can see it, and sq that
the exhibitors can care for it as never
before. Let’s be thinking about this
and bring some cows, calves and
bulls to the fair this fall.
A modem hog building is being
built where the hogs can be shown
and also judged as a judging ring
will be provided so that the hogs can
be seen and the judge will have an
opportunity to judge the hogs and
then go away feeling that he has
done a good job. The old way was a
hit or miss job and hope that it was
right.
The poultry will be taken care ox
well this year also, and I hope that
the farmers of the county will bring
the poultry out better this year than
ever before. We have good poultry in
the county, and it is to our advantage
to bring it out. Many farmers have
told me that they have made lots
of sales this spring of chickens and
eggs for breeding purposes because
they won out at the fair. Any number
of people have come to me and asked
the question, “Who won first on this
or that breed at the fair?”, stating
that they wanted to get some eggs
from the prize winners. You never can
tell when you will be the winner and
if you do not you will have helped to
make the Randolph Fair one of the
biggest and best in the State, and I
feel like we are going to show rnany
fairs this fall what can really be
in the center of the State.
You who are in reach of the com
munity fairs should also be planning
to have the best community fair
this fall. Farmer, Flint Hill, Holly
Springs and Seagrove will have fairs
this fall again and every farmer in
the county is invited to take part in
one of-these fairs. They will be held
the week before the county fair and
then be brought to the county fair.
In the past we have not had enough
space to properly show these commu
nity fairs at the county fair, but this
year all the space necessary will be
provided so that the community fairs
can show what they have. The list of
prises offered are in the county fair
catalog, so if you are not familiar
with it look it up and begin now to
plan something for the fair. No prem
iums will be offered at the commu
nity fairs, but every, effort possible
will be made to make them as educa
tional as possible.
The premiums at the county fair
— been increased this year and
>unty fair in the
' shipped and the prices paid will also
i be stated a week in advance of the
j date of shipment. Several- farmers
have asked why the prices could not
1 be stated sooner. The reason is this
! the buyer will not bid on a car of
j poultry more than a week aheail of
; the shipping date. It is his purpose
to pay the market price at the time
i of shipment and he cannot figure the
! prices for a longer period of time,
hence it is to our advantage not to
get the prices sooner, as he would be
obliged to cut the price to protect
himself if stated too far in advance.
Watch this column for the time of
shipment and the prices.

Is a dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do you feel older
and slower than you should? Are
you tired, weak and nervous; find it
impossible to be happy, or enjoy the
good times around you ? Then there’s
; something wrong and likely it’s your
kidneys. Why not get the cause?
i Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuretic
I to the kidneys. Your neighbors
recommend Doan’s. Bead what this
Asheboro resident says:
Mrs. Cora Elliott, Hoover St., says:
“My back ached as though it would
| break and I was so weak I couldn’t
: lift anything. I had spells of dizzi
ness and awful headaches. My kid
jneys acted sluggishly and painfully,
:too, and my feet and limbs swelled,
jl used Doan’s Pills, which I got at
the Standard Drug Co., and they
soon brought relief. The backaches
left, I could do all my work and I
felt just fine.”

raMseur high school board
RECEIVES MANY APPLICATIONS
That Ramseur is a popular town
and one in which it is pleasant to live
has again been proved by the large
number of applications for superin
tendent of the Ramseur high school.
The vacancy created by the resigna
tion of Prof. Marsh, who has been at
Ramseur for the past three years, has
opened the flood gates through which
between seventy-five and a' hundred
applications have passed. The Ram
seur school board has always been
wise in the selection of its superin
tendents and will most likely sus
tain its reputation by chosing a man
who will be a worthy successor to
superintendent Marsh.
Indict Furniture Makers
In the most sweeping action of its
kind ever taken, the federal grand
jury in Chicago last week returned in
dictments against 263 furniture man
ufacturers on charge of violating the
Sherman anti-trust act. The indict
ments charge price fixing and cur
tailing of production to maintain high
prices and destroy competition.
Besides indicting 263 manufactur
ers, the Jury also indicted the 8ix
secretaries and assistant secretaries
of the National Alliance of Furniture
Manufacturers and the National Asso
ciation of Chair Manufacturers. The
various organizations indicted do an
annual business of $110,000,000.
The investigation started some time
ago to determine why furniture prices
are from 100 per cent to 250 per cent
higher than pre-war levels and how
they have been kept up when many
other commodities have reduced in
price to almost pre-war levels.
RAILROADS ARE ESTABLISHING
NEW TRAFFIC RECORDS
Reports to the Interstate Commerce
Commission indicate that American
railroads will establish new freight

period in 1924 by 550,000 cars. Ii
the present rate of traffic holds up
the railroads will have loaded 50,
000,000 ears this year, the first time
in the history of the country.
Since January 1st, 1923, the rail
roads have added nearly 400,000 new
freight cars. Most of these cars are
of the large type carrying 50 tons
and upward. In the past year 6.70t
locomotives have been purchased anc
orders for over 300 are now being
filled.
