The conference is held annually, and is considered one of the most import ant meetings of the year for school teach ers of the State. * The opening *of the new Efird store in Charlotte Friday was a wonderful suc cess. Concord people present for the opening stated. The store building is said to be one of the finest in the South, and many handsome and useful goods have been purchased and placed on sale by the management. The first rain which has fallen here in several weeks fell Thursday night. Th n rain was badly needed as it lots been too dry for the farmers'to do much work, and also too dry for any repair work to be done on tin* dirt roads of the county, ’rite yam was general in this part of the State, and fell as far east as Durham and Raleigh. Mrs. S. K. Kepner, of Pottstowa, Pa., president of the Women’s Missionary So ciety of the Cnited Lutheran Church ip, America, will arrive in the city this af ternoon from Columbia. S. C. Mrs. Kep ner will speak at St. James Lutheran Church on Sunday night at the vesper service. At this time, a pageant, “The Way." will be presented also. Persons who had been to the State Fair at Raleigh last week declare the fair here was in many respect bettet than the one in Raleigh. There were not as many exhibits here, of course, but those that were here compared favorably with those in Raleigh, and the midway here was said to be much better and much cleaner than the one in Raleigh. , s Concord persons who went to Raleigh Thursday for the Carolina-State football game declare that part of the new pav ed road between Greensboro and Durham is dangerous after a rain. The road be came very slippery after the shower on Thursday night, and autos were seen in ditches along the route, the Concord per sons report. The concrete roads were till right, but the asphalt was very dan gerous. A number of persons conducting stands at the fair grounds carried rain insur ance and all of them collected as a re sult of the rain Friday afternoon. Most rtf the policies were from SSOO to SIOO and there was enough rain for «all of them to collect, it was reported. The fair Association carried SI,OOO insur ance with the Jno.. K. Patterson Co., and it rained enough for the association to collect its money. Carolina won the annual football clas sic with State College in Raleigh on Thursday, tlfe score being 14 to 0. The fame was witnessed by one of the larg est crowds that ever filed on Riddick Field and both teams played good foot ball. Carolina scored in the second and fourth quarters, her highest gains being made by the forward pass. This victory gives Carolina another leg on the State championship, she having already defeat ed Trinity. • Mrs. TV. I. Little. Mrs. Miller. Miss Annie Baird and Mr. E. V. Cook, of the local Efird'n store, were in Charlott? Fri day for the opening of the handsome new Efird store. The new Charlotte store of the Efird chain is one of the hand somest and largest in the South, and thousands of visitors were present to visit the store Friday, thus necessitating enlargement of the regular sales force by salesladies and salesmen from other stores in the chain. Judge Ben F. Long, who presided last week at Cabarrus Superior Court, left Friday for. his home in Statesville. This week he will go to Fayetteville to hold court, he having • exchanged courts with Judge Sinclair, who was but recently ap pointed to the bench and who is familiar with many of the cases which will come up in the Fayetteville court.

THE CONCORD TIMES Interest In Fair Shown By the Fine Patronage Despite Rain of Thursday Night and Cloudiness Dur ing Day Thousands Present for Fourth Day of Event. TRACK RECORD IS MADE ON THURSDAY Grace Direct Also Made New State Record for Year for Winning Race When She Won in Free For All. The rain which fell Thursday night failed to dampen the public’s enthusiasm for the Cabarrus County Fair, and again Friday thousands of interested persons wended thqV way into the grounds (o take advantage of the entertainment and instructive features offered. Governor Cameron Morrison, who was to have been honor guest at the fair Fri day, wired officials of the fair Thursday night that he would be uthab’e to come. The message declared that business mat ters made it impossible for the Governor to leave Raleigh. Governor Morrison was to have made an address at the fair grounds Friday morning. Grace Direct, holder of the mare’s rec ord for a mile on a half mile track, was the star performer al the races at the Fan* Thursday afternoon. Yieing with ibis record bolder was Auto Pace, who. won one heat in the free for all in .which Grace Direct was entered. > ~ A new State win record for the year for a mile on a half-mile track was es tablished by Grace Direct during the races, according to an announcement by race officials, and this horse and Auto Pace jointly established a new heat rec ord for the local track. Grace Direct's time for the win race was 2 :07 1-4 and this time was establish ed by each of the horses in the race. Au to Pace made his best time in the first heat and Grace Direct making the same time on the third heat. In addition to the free for all in which was entered Edna Earl in addition to the two other horses named, there were the 2:25 trot ami the 2:14 pace, and a hur dle race. • A fine bunch of horses were entered in all of the races. The running was as fine as has been shown this week, and | the largest crowd of the fair was pres- i cut to witness it. The grandstand was | sold out long before the races started and in addition to the three thousand per.-on.s | in the stands, ’ several other thousands) stood around the fences and at other points where they could watch the run ning. The 90-piece band from Albemarle! played during the races and in addition I there were the usual free acts. These entertainment features are proving pop-' ular with the large crowds which are daily attending the races. I The greatest interis3t in tille raced centered iii the free for nil. The repu tation Grace Direct and A«!o Pace had preceded the horses here and every one was - anxious to see them in action. The best record made by Grace Direct is 2:02 H.'H recently made in Pennsylvania, j Auto Pace’s best time is 2:02 3-4 while Edna Earl once ran a mile in 2 :07 1-4. Ju the first heat the Greensboro horse van in the lead until within 100 yards of the judge’s stand when Auto Pace took J the lend. The time was 2:07 1-4. In i the second heat Grace Direct won. the time 'being 2:08 3-4, and in the third heat the winner tied the heat record of 2:07 1-4. The 2:14 pace was won in straight heals by Miss Rejected, her times being 2:14 1-2; 2:14 3-4 and 2:14 1-4. The horses was easily the fastest in the raee and led throughout each heat. ' The 2:25 trot was won by Lexington 11. The winner won in straight heats, being pushed in two of them by Minstrel man. The times of the winner wu*e 2:24 1-2, 226 fiat, and 2:24 1-4. Keen interest was shown also in the hurdle races. Four runners entered the race which was won by Miss Fit. The race was 5-8 of a mile. The exact number of paid admissions Thursday is not known, but the crowd was the largest of the week with the ex ception of the opening day when thous ands of school children, school teachers and war veterans were admitted free to the grounds. On that day it was esti mated that 26.000 persons passed into the grounds, counting both the day and night crowds. It is estimated that about 15,000 persons paid to get into the grounds Thursday, the total attendance for day and night approaching the 17,000 mark. In addition to the prizes which have been awarded by the fair association to winners in the various exhibits offered at the fair, the addition prizes have been of fered from a fund created at the last Home Coming celebration held in the city: Best Community Exhibit—First prize $25.00; second prize, $13.00; third prize $7.50. Individual Winning Most Ribbons in Canning Department —First prize $10.00; second prize $5.00. Individual Having Largest Number of' Entries in Community Exhibits —First prize $5.00; second prize $2.50. j Judges have already named the win- j tiers in the community exhibits and in most of the individual exhibits. The Rimer exhibit won first prize in the com munity show, the Bethpage exhibit was , second and the Winecoff exhibit third. 1 v The behavior of the crowds at the fair • continues good. There have been a few minor disorders, but nothing of a serious nature has sg) far occurred, and for the most part the behavior of the thousands , in the grounds has been above reproach.' Special officers are on duty at the grounds; at all times and they have been able to J cope with every situation that has aris en. No serious accidents have been report ed on the roads leading to the -fair grounds. Thursday several cars suf fered minor damages in collisions with other cars, but no one was injured in the accidents and none of the cars was badly damaged. Drivers on the main road tq the fair grounds have been very careful, and though traffic has been very j heavy on this road sanity has prevailed among the drivers of the cars and as a result little damage has resulted to any one or to any ones property. Officials of the fair expect to get at least $25,000 from the total receipts. The crowds during the week have led officials to place their estimate at these figures. Despite the rain of Thursday ' night and Friday afternoon big crowds were present throughout and Friday night. Attractive races were scheduled for the afternoon and- although three of them were rained out. those that took place were witnessed by a crowd that jammed the grandstand to capacity and left thousands to__seek points of advant age around the fences. N The race in which Mrs. E. T. Cannon, of this city, was to participate, was rain ed out. The rain halted after falling about 20 minutes, but it left the track too slippery for further races. The pro poses race in which Mrs. Cannon was to participate was one of the features of the program and there was keen disap pointment that the rain should come just at a time to make the running of the race unsafe. The fair association will collect SI,OOO rain insurance as a result of the rain Friday afternoon. The held by the association stated that at least two tenths of an inch of rain had to fall be fore any insurance would be paid and it was announced by officials of the fair that this amount of rain fell Friday. In fact there of an inch" in ad dition required two-tenths. All of the exhibits at the grounds were judged Thursday night. The report of the judges has been submitted and will be published in full later. Other reports probably will.be submitted early this week, aud the winners in all will be pub lished as the lists are submitted. In ad dition to the winners in the poultry ex hibits. the names of persons making en tries will be announced. This will be done because in many instances no prizes had been provided for certain entries, but the winners in the classes were given blue ribbons by the judges who took such action with the view to increasing inter est in the contests so that more birds will be entered in the fair next year. The following address by Major Foil on the opening day gives some interest ing facts in regard to the fair: There are two occasions, my friends, upon which my eyes grow moist and my voice grows husky. One is standing at the bier of a friend; the other when I am overly rejoiced. Today, my friends, Jam overly rejoiced. I realize that the good people of ('abarrus county, by their presence here today have spoken and said to the officials of the Cabarrus Coun ty Fair Association, we appreciate your efforts in trying to stimulate the agricul tural interests of Cabarrus County. Some may say what do the fair offi cials know about agriculture? I say this to you. we are not as green as the city boy who- visited his grandfather fn the county. Today I am blowing every horn that Cabarrus county has. To me she is the greatest and the grandest county in North Carolina. I love her—l love her citizenship. Some time ago, in conver sation with a man, he asked me what made a nation great. Without hesi tancy I answered him : Her citizenship, sir. My friends, it is the citizenship of old Cabarrus that has made her great. Many years ago she was settled in the west by the Scotch. Ou the east she was settled by the Dutch. Those two great races have married and intermar ried until they gave a great people. Today, my friends. T appear here upon a pleasant mission that seldom ever pre sents itself. . I am here for the purpose of presenting to the agricultural and other interests of (’abarrus county, the efforts of the Cabarrus County Fair As sociation. And in making this presen tation. I cannot refrain from mentioning the name of our president. There may [ be better men: there may be men of greater renown, but there never was within the breast of man, a truer and nobler heart than beats within the breast of J. F. Cannon. It is to him, my friends, that Cabarrus county is largely indebted for this magnificent Fair Ground. This fair has had a marvelous growth, so to speak. It reminds me of the dignataries, who came over to America. It was about the middle of last April that a few of us got together and de cided-that we wanted to do something to stimulate the agricultural interests of this county and to brpng about a closer relationship between the rural districts and the city. We knew of no better method than the- organization of a fair. A charter was applied for and on the 24th day of April the first shovel of dirt was moved. It was about the first of June before a nail was driven and tda.v you are the recipients of our efforts of which we are jointly proud. This is your fair, uiy friends, not ours, and I sincerely hope it will be considered by you, and today I proudly stand here at' the request of the fair officials and ten der*to the agricultural of Cabarrus coun ty this magnificent ground and I sin cerely hope that* it will be received by vou in the same spirit it was given. Yes, we have worked hard, without re ward or hope of reward. We looked forward to making this _a red-letter day in ('abarrus county, and I believe I ran truthfully say of those that made this fair possible, that when they lie beneath the green sod in yonder cemetery on yon-' der hill, and coining generations come marching by, they would rather have it said. “There lie men with plaj : n marks, who stood for the brotherhood of men, Cabarrus Savings BANK ~ who stood for the eradication of illiteracy, who stood for better schools and better churches, who stood for better agricul tural facilities, better houses and bet ter farms, who indeed and in truth were friends to man.” and I can say without fear of contradiction, that these men pre fer this in prefernee to sleeping in the shadow of a 100-foot marble shaft. Yes. my friends, this is your fair and this is your week, and I want you to en joy yourselves. We want to so conduct this and conduct ourselves that it vfill live on down through the coining years. There are some here today who remem ber well the Poplar Tent Fair. How Sid Dickson wrote of Martin’s Bull and J. M. Gray: "The ladies’ display was very fine, Pies and cakes, best of their kind. But, the chief attraction of the day Was Martin’s Bull and J. M. Gray. There were mules sufficient for the farmer's need. Horses equal to the Arabian steed. But, the chief attraction of the day Was Martin’s Bull and J. M. Gray."
