-I-— mwaOen Objects lb Any Gambling At The Randolph Fair Not Have A County Fair If It Takes Such Devices To Attract People. Mr. Editor: Several months ago Mr. Walter Starts "wrote a letter to The Courier a regard to gambling at the County Air, and asked for others to express their opinion on this subject. Up to this tune only three or four have their opinion through the of The Courier. These have _ _decidedly against gambling. ' I rightly understand the purpose ; of the Fair, it is to stimu mterest in agriculture, livestock I poultry. Some one has said that mam who can show us how to ___ / two blades of grass where only mat formerly grew is a public bene I hope that I am not un anifol of the good that may be de nted from the exhibits of the choicest from the different crops ! best of our fTocks and herds. there is a crop that should for greater consideration than heat and corn, cotton and a crop of vastly more im ! than raising purebred eat ings and' poultry. The crop I e seference to is our crop of boys girls. We, as parents, are re ■ for the moral and religious «f eur children. I think it [ be acting in a very inconsis Mner to get on my knees and <Tead us not into temptation”, ftm to take my children to a > where they are subjected to the greatest of temptations. _: says it would be impos wUe to run the fair if it were not for the revenue obtained from the shows and other attractions that go with the shows. If we can not have a fair withoiA having the ground covered with gambling dens we had better not haye any fair. Last year I spent one day at the fair. I went through every department, and then I went out and watched the gamblers for some time; and, to say the least, I was thoroughly disgusted with what 1 saw. The very-idea of unsuspecting lays and men being swindled out of their hard-earned money! Of course, they should know better than to fool with the other man’s tricks, but they lave their decoys out and every time -they put up a dollar they win from -two to five dollars. This sets the un would-be players on fire, and they think they have as good Aw* to win as the other fellow ^Nat knowing that he is a decoy). Our guardians of the law must be iiinp or they would not let such deviltry go on. Some one says you don’t have to pay any attention to the gamblers You can stay in the exhibit halls and jfoy away from the gambling dens. You don’t have to spend any money with them. I don’t think I shall ever fall for any of their tricks, but jk for as money is concerned, that is ■at the important part. It is the in stance these things have on the mor als of our children. If we allow such influence to be forown about our children, especially ■ur boys, the chances are that they will go out into the world to practice foe things and become gamblers. I am in favor of a clean, straightfor ward agricultural fair. No gambling. —C. A.

H.) 3 The Democratic party has always t enacted laws for the benefit of the . common people, as well as other peo 1 pie. Yes, the Republican party has enacted laws against the poor man. i Mr. A. L. McPherson, a prominent . citizen and merchant of Liberty, has our thanks for a renewal of his sub scription to The Courier. Mr. Mc . Pherson is a pleasant gentleman, and [ js doing a good mercantile business. Isn’t this little squib the truth: “Many things are essential to the I growth of a town, but the greatest of I them all is cooperation. Nothing has been found in any enterprise that is its equal in forging ahead. Coopera tion builds and strife tears down. Co operation is the mainspring of com munity life and without it any com munity will suffer reverses.” We thank Mr. W. D. Stedman, # of Asheboro, for handing us two dollars for his subscription to The Courier. Mr. Stedman is one of Asheboro’s most prominent and progressive citi zens. The Democrats have made a big gain in Asheboro township since the last election. It looks now like the Democrats in this township can easily roll up seven hundred majority in November. One of our gfood readers, Mr. E. Dt .Frazier, of Providence township, hands us a check for another year’s .subscription to The Courier for which he has our sincere thanks. Who will be next to hand us $2 on renewal of their subscription to The Courier. Congratulations to Franklinville for her handsome vote for better [schools on last Tuesday. With the old buildings tom down and a modem new building and equipment in place Franklinville will have adequate edu cational facilities for her boys and girls—by far the greatest asset any live, progressive town can have. Franklinville has voted wisely. It was said of a certain candidate that his greatest handicap was mod esty. We think modesty in anybody, politician or no politician, would be ' a stepping-stone instead of a handi-' cap. If modesty is the only fault found—if one is to consider modesty a fault—then that man would make a splendid public official. “I haven’t had a chance,” said a young man down and out the other day, “it seems that the world is against me.” He had as many chances as any other boy but he just got the wrong slant of life. Some boys seem to think that a “chance” should be tendered him on a silver platter. The successful boy does not wait for a chance—he makes the chance, but he doesn’t do it idling away his time puffing cigarettes and drinking. The boy who complains of not having a chance will boast of ability to “beat the game” without work until he gets caught and in the clutches of the law, then he whines around about the world being against him and that he hasn’t had a chance. The present is a time of opportunity, an era filled with chances—there never was a time when the demand was greater for 'young mgn and young women—real boys and girls who are ambitious and alert and there is no excuse in the world for any one of them to fail except they are not willing to give up idle and vicious habits and for the boy is true or girl with these habits—it : they will never have e chance. If you have any criticism to make, .make it publicly, and suggest at the same time a better way. Pulling a .thing to pieces without offering a bet ter plan is the work of a very small person. Mr. W. M. Dorsett. one of the coun ty’s most prosperous farmers had good citizens, who resides in Columbia township, has had his subscription] moved up a year. „ * Mr. H. C. Helper, who has been living on Mr. Frank Lambeth’s farm in Trinity township for 22 years. mm Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Jordan, of Soph ia, are spending a few weeks at Candor. / _ Mr. E. M.

Rich last Sunday. Mr. E. E. Pruett and family spent last Sunday in Franklinville. Mr. J. R. Reitzel, a good citizen of Ramseur, Route 2, deposited with the writer more cash to keep The Courier coming his way. He has been a sub scriber to The Courier for a long time and always keeps his subscription paid in advance. Mr. R. S. Hunsucker and family, of High Point, and Miss Nancy Hun suckei', of Asheboro, spent last Sat 1 urday and Sunday in Montgomery .county. There is no scarcity of farming lands in Randolph county. There are thousands pf acres of land yet to be tilled and we need at least double the number of farmers that we now have. Mr. and Mrs. Brower York, of Mill ion), Route 1, spent a few hours in Asheboro one day last week. Come to think about it, the grand daughter of today can just about make a whole dress out of what it took to , make grandma’s sleeve. ■ Mill Buildings At , Staley Are Completed Addition To Hosiery Mill Is i Done, And The New Roller Mill Plant Is Finished. Staley, July 23.—Mrs. H. A. Holmes was called to Asheboro Friday to be at bedside of her father, Joe Brown, who was seriously hurt by a box car near Hemp last Friday.

Mr. Worth has spent four years in China and was present dur ing the recent civil disturbances there.
