The car, a Ford sedan, was stolen from the street in front of the Cox home on Sunset Avenue shortly be fore 7 o’clock, and since it was re covered in so short time, the thief or thieves must have driven the car directly south. It is probable that the car was not in the thief's posses sion more than ten minutes. Corp. G. D. Brittain and Patrolman S. L. Willard, who were on duty near the Fair grounds, noticed that the car, the ownership of which they did not know at the time, was .being op erated without proper headlights, and Mr. Willard motioned the driver to stop. When the signal was disregard ed the patrolman pursued the man in the. machine. < Finding that his pursuer was gain ing on him ih the race, the man in the fleeing car drove to one side of the highway, near the Randolph county fair grounds, just south of Aaheboro, jumped out and continued his flight afoot. Corporal Brittain and Patrolman Willard .took the car in charge, and shortly afterward the owner, Mr. Cox, reported to the of ficers that his automobile had been taken. He was naturally pleased to find that the gentlemen from the state highway patrol had recovered the ear before he reported its dis appearance. So for as the officers know, the man who took the car and abruptly deserted it.may be continuing his flight. Earl Redding Finds Wide Range Kinship , In Randolph County . Mr. and Mrs. Bar!

Three young white men, Thomas Williams, of the Gray’s Chapel com munity, Charlie Nance, of Level Cross, and Fred Jenkins, of Mill boro, were injured late Sunday evening in an automobile accident near the bridge over Deep River on highway 62 at Central Falls.

Williams was apparent ly dragged some distance along the top of the fence and practically scalp ed. No cause can be assigned for the ac cident other than the driver lost con trol of the machine, but whether from meeting another car or from exces sive speed is not known.

My ancestor was his daughter, Mary Exhibits At F Drew Much Pr From The J Most Of The Exhibits As Unusually Good And AH Were Credit To County Large Sale Tickets Experienced Due To Decreased Price—Bench Show Was Suc cessful Feature Of Fair The annual Randolph County Fair came t® a close Saturday evening after five days and five nights. The attendance during the entire Fair was excellent, that on Tuesday, opening day, having been the largest in the history of Fairs in this county. Tues day was school day, at which time all school children of the county, who came, were admitted without charge. So successful was this day that an other school children’s- day was desig nated for Friday, and the attendance -that day was very satisfactory. The largest attendance during Fair week, Tuesday excepted, was during the evenings. The exhibits were excellent end drew rounds of praise from visiters and the approval of the several judg es. The cattle show was unusually good, as was also the poultry exhibit. The other exhibits in the main hall were splendid, some having been better . than last year and others on par. The bench show was a successful feature of the Fair, more than 100 dogs having been mitered, making the bench show here one of the largest and finest in the entire state. This show drew visitors and sportsmen from all parts of the state, and drew many compliments. y School exhibits were above the usual, showing unusual talent on the part of pupils and teachers in pre paring the material and the lay outs of the exhibits .themselves. The art, fancy work, home economics and other departments were above the average and drew much attention from the women. _ Though figures are not available, the Fair wsfs probably more a finan cial success than many former events. Season tickets were a great deal cheaper, but the price of single ad missions was 50 emits. This result ed in probably a larger sale of sea son tickets than if single admissions tickets,. ses would be issued this year i to it This was responsible for many paid admissions, as in the past a great many free passes to the Fair grounds have been issued and used rather free ly W.
