F. Beeson, in Randolph, Mr. Gold became interested in the trip and it was decided by (the two men to leave Greensboro very early Wednes day morning.

Public Wedding To Be Staged Thursday Was Postponed On Account Of Rain; Pageant To Be Given On Friday Evening. Another Fair in Randolph has brought throngs of people from ev ery section of the county, many neighboring counties and other places as well. Since the opening Tuesday morning, and indeed Monday, the Fair grounds has been a center of ac tivity. All day Monday exhibits were arranged with the result that this Fair is unusually interesting "in that line. The 9hows also arrived Monday to the delight of ithe children of the town and by the time “Merry Sun shine,” the . lady down was in action Tuesday, the grounds were filled. This clown greets the people and wel comes them, guides the ladies about the grounds and flirts with all ithe good-looking men and boys. Approx imately 5,000 school children, parents and visitors passed through the gates on the opening day to view the exhibits, take in the shows and visit with their neighbors and friends. The cattle show surprised all com ers, because it is the best cattle show that we have had for years. The bams are literally filled with thoro ughbreds. It is representative of the cattle spirit of our people. The poul try houses were not large enough to house the exhibits brought here by the chicken raisers of the county. Six farm exhibits are displayed in the main exhibit halL The exhibits of the colored people are more than double that of previous years. The school, art, economics and fancy work kept the crowds on opening day view ing their splendid and interesting ex hibits. The management of the Fair ad mitted school children into the grounds free Tuesday and they an nounce that all school children in the county will be admitted free again Friday. The wedding, announced several weeks ago for Wednesday night, was postponed until Thursday night on account of the rain. Ever since the announcement was made, people have been guessing the name of the bride Land groom and this event will draw rlagge crowds. ' Friday evening t£* BaAin feature is an historical pageant, “Children of Old Carolina,” which will be staged Prohibition Fatal To “Old Timers” In The Palmetto State Representative William Francis Stevenson, of the fifth South Caro lina district, who lost his district a few days ago after having represent ed it 17 years, is an Iredell county man, friend and neighbor of Secre tary James A. Hartness of the de partment of state, and like Mr. Hart ness a tremendous dry. The North Carolina expatriate went to South Carolina about the time prohibition was getting hot in this state. They gave him “Sea board Bill” for a political name and it not only stuck—it worked well for him. After crossing the line Mr. Stevenson swore that Andrew Jack son was born in South Carolina, and he maintained on many a battlefield his argument. He mixed it occas ionally with the late William C. Hammer, of the seventh North Car olina, in which district Mr. Hammer insisted Jackson was bom. All that Mr. Hartness hears from his old neighbor is that prohibition did him to death. Mr. Richards, his suc cessful opponent, never was so hot about prohibition when heat was popular. The RicharcU family doubted the wisdom of the legisla tion. And in the late contest the “liberal” view prevailed. Another/ South Carolina prohibi tion casualty was Fred Dominick, of the third South Carolina district with Newberry as his home. The South Carolina native remained long in Washington and changed not as to the prohibition amendment. The 55-year-old Newberry lawyer could not stand up against the new order. The hard luck of “Seaboard Bill” will be regretted. . He moved right up when he entered iSouth Carolina politics, going to the speakership of the lower house while a member from Cheraw. He came from the Lo ray section of Iredell where they still vote prohibition. A CORRECTION A mistake in the announcement of the singing convention at Mt. Carmel occurred in The Courier last week in the fact that Robert Hudson, of Reidsville, had charge of the execut ive committee, and a memorial ser vice was held in memory of I. L. Trogdon who died last March and who had been a valuable member for 23 years.—A. M. Fentriss. Major General Jno. A. Lejeune, su perintandeat of the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, Va., was se riously injured Monday in a fall oc curring as he was walking on the campus.

The Randolph chapter U. D. CL is sponsoring this pageant and it has created wide interest The midway attracts, as usual, vast crowds, and while there has been talk of “depression," lights are bright and ferris wheels, chairoplanes going and shows in full swing—to say noth ing of the palmists, they are all there. The Fair association, headed by A. I. Ferree, has put forth unusual ef fort to make this Fair a success, and the cooperation from the county peo ple has been most satisfactory. Saturday, there will be the usual features, exhibits, shows, free acts, fireworks intact until late into the night.

Sunset Theatre To Feature Wilt Rogers In “Down To Earth** Back to his native Oklahoma after filming his recent against various foreign Rogers has the star role in [To Earth,” his new Fox offering which opens Monday at the Suns*i Theatre., With the recital of a busmeus man’s efforts to balance his dwind ling income against his family's so cial ambitions and extravagance as its theme, the picture is being halted everywhere as the most timely as wet? as the funniest production of the* noted humorist’s career. Rogers fans will recall the hectic, adventures of Pike Peters and his family abroad in “They Had T* Sevt Paris,” his first talking picture, la “Down To Earth” the whimsical “Pike” reappears after his trip, ooett more guiding the destinies of his ofi company. The recent Wall Stirevst crash, however, has seriously affected his holdings and he becomes worried over his family’s expenditures. The failure of a bank in which he is in terested brings matters to a crisis, hastened when his wife’s social as pirations wreck his attempts to ne gotiate a loan from the local bank. Irene Rich Is Wife Again This combination of bad luck proves the final straw—and Pika goes berserk. His original and sur prising methods of getting his fam ily back on its feet again form the climax of the story and round out the unfolding of the picture. Irene Rich again enacts the role of Mrs. Peters, with Dorothy Jordan. Matty Kemp, Mary Carlisle, Theodore Lodi, Brandon Hurst and many other noted players in the supporting cast Homer Croy, the author of “They Had To See Paris,” wrote the story for the new offering, with Edwin Burke making the screen piny and David Butler directing. STOP THE ROBBER BEES With no honey flow on, bees are more likely to rob other bees, warn* Ned Prevost, extension bee specialist at Clemson College, who has found that one of the best methods to atop robbing is to find the hive from which robbers are coming and ex change places with it and the hive they are robbing. But, sayshe, it is much easier to prevent robbing than to stop it. In opening a hive or handling hon ey when there is- no. natural honey flow, breaking the honey or leaving it exposed to the bees will start rob bers and may cause loss of several colonies. Some people mistake bers for young bees on the . flight, but when they are found the comers and back of the h trying to squeeze their way through, . they are robbers. To check robbing that has jo* started Mr. Prevost suggests partly closing the front door of lv‘ kw that is being robbed. In the guards can bets back hut the fight. m
