Some Not As Numerous As In
Former Years, But Were
Good; Other Features.
Randolph County Fair closed Sat
urday night with what is believed to
be a record attendance for the past
several years. The exhibits, free acts
and shows were well proportioned
and throngs literally filed into the
fair grounds each day to enjoy them
selves and witness the program that
had been prepared for them.
The main exhibit hall this year
was decorated in grand style. The
school booths were more attractive
than ever before, while the fanc>
work and home economic departments
were attractive. The farm and field
crops were not so numerous as last
year, but the quality of the exhibits
were superior.
Those visiting the main exhibit
hall found Amos Furniture, Cut Rate
Furnishing Co., jkaheboro Furniture
Co., Chevrolet Automobile, Plymouth
Automobile, Stand’s Florist, W. W.
Jones & Sons, mpdolph Mills, May
tag Washing Machine sod £. A.
Habel many others.
Tlie “free afl&r^r the most ela

drew more favorable comment. The
fair association put on about one
third more shows than they had
advertised. A display of Are works
each evening climaxed the big show
in front of the grand stand after
which the crowds gathered on the
mid-way and in the main exhibit hall
where they continued to enjoy them
selves until 11:30 each evening.
From every standpoint the fair
was a success, and it is expected
that the officials of the fair will
soon have their meetings and begin
to prepare for the annual event
again next fall.

Week Of October 8
To 14 Designated
To Prevent Fires
Every Citizen Is Asked To Take
A Look Over Home And
Premises For Purpose.
The week of October 8 to 14 is
designated as Fire Prevention week.
Every citizen k asked to take a
look over the heme and place of
business with an eye toward reducing
fire hazards, remembering several
rules for safety. Look over the
heating plant to determine if it is
ready for efficient and safe service
this winter. By all means clean out
the furnace and chimney and make
any required repairs.
“Hazards to look for are parts
of the furnace and pipes that get
hot and are located near burnable
materials. Any combustible material
that is nearer than two feet should
be protected by asbestos.
“Then there are three things I
want to warn against doing. First,
don’t force your furnace under any
circumstances, as this causes fire
from overheating. Second, don’t put
hot ashes into wooden boxes or paper
cartons. Third, don’t permit rubbish
or papers to accumulate in the cellar,
attic or anywhere else.”
If the house wiring1 was installed
by a licensed electrician, the chances
are it is safe unless it has been made
unsafe by misuse.
Look out for oily or paint-soaked
rags or mops. It is not uncommon
for them to cause fire by spontane
ous combustion. Be careful with
matches and cigarette stubs. Keep
a fire extinguisher in your home.
Carolina Expects A
Big Crowd Saturday
For Georgia Game
Admission Price Is Cut To $1;
Indications Point To Two
Well-Matched Ball Teams.
Chapel Hill, Oct. 10.—Carolina has

admission section, providing seats at
one dollar each, and is' making ela
borate preparations to handle one
of the largest crowds of the season

The twg, institutions, one a leader
in the Southeastern Conference and
the other in the~$outhem, have been
fighting it out on the gridiron since
1895. Carolina holds a slight edge
in victories won.
All indications are for a battle of
the same proportions as the 6-6 tie of
last year. Both, squads bare oust of
their stars back, including seven
men on each side who started last
year’s game. These boys are even
finer players for >he extra year’3
experience and battling and are fur
ther bolstered by an infusion of new
talent.
Harry Mehre, the Georgia coach,
and Chuck Collins, the Carolina men
tor, are both former stars at Notre
Dame and teach the wide-open and
driving Rockne attack with certain
variations of their own.
Georgia’s line of stars runs on and
on. Captain Batchelor, 200-pound
end, boxer, and “one-man track
team.” Turbeyville, Op per, Cooper,
Moorehead, and McCullough, five
other regulars back from last year’s
line, covering every position except
center. Cy Grant, who punts up to TO
yards. Homer Key and Buck Chap
man, who joined him in scoring the
touchdowns that beat N. C. State
20-10. “Jumping Joe” Crouch and
Bill David, the line busting fullbacks,
and “Take a Chance” Jack Griffith,
their brilliant field 'general.
The Tar Heels will offer another
array of fine performers. George
Barclay, who is hailed as a future
All-Southern guard. Brant, Collins,
and Kahn, three veteran, linemen of
great ability. 1 Captain. Cream, who
raced 50 yeands to score on. Georgia
in 1931, and Woollen, Burnett, and
Thompson, the three veteran backs
who helped him carry the fight to
Georgia last year. And among the
youngsters who featured in this
year’s games with Davidson and
Vanderbilt, the Moore twins, the
former Governor’s son, Ralph Gard
ner, Daniel and Joyce in the line, and
Jackson and McCachren in the back
field.

Recovery S^eme
General Johnson Says Organiza
tion Of Labor And Employ*
ers, However, Is Good, |
Serve As Checks
One Upon The Other; Publio
Opinion Will Not Tolerate
Tie Up Of Industry.
Strikes are unnecessary under the
Roosevelt plan for economic recov*
ery, General Hugh S. Johnson, re
covery administrator, told the Amen*
can Federation of Labor in meeting
in Washington Tuesday. Organiza
tion of both industry and worker*
is necessary under the recovery plan,
he declared.
“The plain stark truth is that you
cannot tolerate the strike," Johnson
said in addressing the hundreds of
delegates at the federation’s annual
convention, “public opinion is the
essential power in the country. In
the end it will break down and de
stroy every subversive influence.
If now—when the whole power of
this government and its people is
being given to an effort to provide
and maintain to the ultimate the
rights of every man who works fop
pay—you permit or Counteance this
economic sabotage, that public con
fidence and opinion will turn against
you.”
Johnson was introduced by William
Green, president of the federation*
who pledged the “unfaltering” sup
port of labor in the recovery move
ment.
“A fully organized and unchecked
industry could exploit and dominate
a whole nation,” he said. “A fully
organized and unchecked labor could
do exactly the same. There must
be responsibility in each such or
ganization. There must be a check
