In the middle of the Centennial
Ground stands a cash register
that is larger than an ordinary
ten-room house and several timis
as tall. It' registers every person
that enters the Centennial gates
and never a day passes that 'ess
than 30,000 attend.
The world's most gorgeous and
expensive key. designed and m-rle
by Arthur A. Everts Co., Dallas,
jewelers, where it is on exhibi
tion, and used by Gov. James V.
Allred to officially open the gates
of the Texas Centennial Exi ori
tion on June 6. 1936. Tbe cer.t?r
diamond, the Queen Maria Lus'sa
weighs near 14 carats; there arr
sapphires, zirons, amethysts, tour
malines, a Texas azure topaz,
over 200 other diamonds in the
key as well as rubies, emeralds,
Texas pearls, 18 carat star sap
phire, onyx from Davy Crockett's
birthplace, and a $35,000 festoon
of Oriental pearls. Applied in
four colors of old are a prarie
schooner, stalks of corn, cotton
boll, oil derrick, longhorn steer
bead, the Almo, state seal, La
Salle's ship and General Hous
ton's sword. The six Texas flags
are in colors. The key is nine
Inches long; one pound gold
weight. '
Another beautiful and educa
tional thing, that attracted our
attention was Shakespeare's plays
at the Globe Theatre. This thee
* «
tre is said to be built exactly like
the one in which Shakespeare
presented his plays. They have
the same actors that played at the
World's Fair. The plays that we
saw were: * "As Tou Like It,"
"Taming of the Shrew," and
"Julius Ceasar," which we en
joyed very much.
Some of the other good shows,
we saw were "The Streets of All
Nations," "Streets of Paris,"
"Black Forest," Stanley Graham's
Texas Queen Showboat present-!
ing "Drunkard," "Little Ameri
ca," which showed the clothes
and furniture that were actually
used by Admiral Byrd.
Last, but not least, is the
"CAVALCADE," aa Empire «m
Parade which reveals in dramatic
form the story of the building of
Texas. The stage upon which it
is presented je said to be the
largest one in the world.
The Cotton Bowl, a sport sta
dium with a capacity of 47,000 is
the center of the athletic pro
grams with sports events of all
types scheduled.
There is also a wonderful ex
hibit by the CCC Camp.
Not a thing can be found miss
ing from Midway.
Lights, water, and their fix
tures make the Centennial very
beautiful. People from all over
the world come just to see the
lights. They change constantly
on the buildings all over the
grounds from one color to anoth-
er. From behind the State Build
fct ing beautiful beams send forth
their gleams which may be seen
for hundreds of miles.
| Another beautiful place is the
Lr "Legion" which was a mile

There are many other beauti

we would like to write about but
due to time and space we are un

THE DANMJRY REPORTER
JUDGE MEEKINS
Raleigh, Sept. 14. Feci?! il.
Judge Isaac M Meekins, who is
holding court here this wv.ek,
has sold profitable potatoes this
year and he would not bet on the
election even if he were not a 1
member of the federal judiciary.
The judge doesn't know what j
he thinks about national politics.
But he inclines to the belief thai
whoever wins the presidential
vote will get it in an impressive
way. His honor doesn't think the |
election will be close, but he has
become too non-partisan r.s a
jurist to get up heat over the
battle.
His son is chairman of the Re
publican state executive commit
tee and the judge is proud of the
boy, hopes he will carry the state j
and make a great record as a
leader. His honor thinks Gover
nor Landon has an even chance,
may be more than that to win.
But his honor has been selling
profitable potatoes. That means
agricultural happiness. And the
judge always ie uncertain what
a fairly well fed, housed and
financed people will do.
Strong For Landon.
He was positively the first
North Carolina in his own party
who saw the adumbration of Mr.
Hoover. Truth is, the judge
would not have nominated the
great engineer. Judge Meekins
had been all along for a western
man, Governor Frank Lowder>.
to be specific. The judge believes
right now that if Lowden • hai
been nominated in 1920 there
would have been no taint upon
the record, if anybody "think?
i t here there was. He believe®
that Low den would have led tfc*.
-ountry grandly througli thr.?
1921-1925 period. But had tfc*
party placed Lowden in Wash
ington ]n 1929, his honor believes
that would have changed things.
The 1929 debacle might not have
come. Be doesn't say so, but
one gets the idea that going west
for the candidate was delayed
about eight years too long.
But he isn't betting, he isn't
even guessing. The tariff never
had a better herald than Judge
Meek ins. "When he set out some
30 years ago to fascinate the
natives he told them, because
he believed it, that the tariff
was insurance against any ad
versity, that the Democratic idea
was guaranty always of disaster.
And then came 1929. The judge's
potatoes -went down so low that
they did not bring enough to pay
for the poison to kill the bugs.
This was under the tariff, but a
schedule which Democrats in
many parts of the country helped
to make. Potatoes went down
and farmer Meekfas' vegetables
are up again.
Of course, he thinks the Roose
velt regime has been horrible in
spots, but potatoes, tobacco and
cotton are selling well. The banks
have quit bus tin' and the public
probably isn't making any analy
sis of the legislation enacted by
the Roosevelters.
