THIRD DAY OF BIS DISTRICT EXPOSITIN
Thursday is Agricultural Day nt
the Ton-County Fair grounds.
Planters and their wives and
children comprised the great
hulk of the attendance. The
crowd inside the fence in the
forenoon was estimated to be on
ly about 5,000. The afternoon,
however, usually "brings them
out," The day's attendance is
expected to bo 8,000 or 10,000.
some smaller than Tuesday's and
considerably smaller than Wed
nesday's, when nearly every
school child in Lenoir and hun
dreds from other counties pass
ed through the gates.
The weather turned traitor. It
did not do so badly, and the rain
dining the morning was hardly
noticeable, but Ihe clouds were
ever so angry looking off and on,
and Secretary Canady of the
Fair Association estimates that
at least three or four thousand
ptrsons in the country remained
at home because of the weather
man's threats.
STOCK PARADE.
The stock parade which was a fea- can do in these, their specialties; to
ture of Agricultural Day, was pulled an ordinary citi.en. it would no
off at a little after 11 o'clock. It was seem possible to grow finer brigfi'
probably no longer than last year's, tobacco than some of the samples on
because much of the stock was not display in this department, the cot
brought out of tho bams. A num- ton is excellent, too, and the corn,
ber of cattle were left inside, as and the hay, and the sweet po'ntoes
w?re, of course, the hogs, sheep, etc. do not forget the last-mentioned,
It was a fine spectacle, though, and
thousands lined the racetrack fence
to sec it. The best band of the Fair
headed the puocession. First in line
behind hi music-makers was M. R.
Quinerly, a young A and M. graduate
and scientific farmer from C-nter-ville,
with a handsome Percheron
stallion. The horses, mules, ponie.i
and cattle following by ones and
twos. A magnificent bull headed the
bovine section. The darky who led
it had a firm twirt on the beast's lip
with a roped stick. One prince from
a dairy farm thought he was going
forth to slaughter, and threw a tum
ble just a3 the parade got under way,
but after that he quieted down, and
there was no protest from any ani
mal in tho line as the procession
passed in review. Represented by
fine animals were W. C .Worthing
ton. displaying a fancy mare; E. L.
Rouse, Percheron; J. E. Cameron,
registered Holstein cows; J. H.
Mewborn, registered Jerseys; J. F.
Hardee, a fine lot of Guernseys; N.
J. Rouse, A. S. Rouse and Parker
Howard and others with various an
imals. The exhibit halls were extremely
popular all day. Thousands throng
d them. A sight never to be for
fctten was a trio of old women one
ore a -sunbonnet -making pink
eloth with the spinning wheel and
other machinery. that tney used more
than half a century go.

By WEBB MILLER,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
EI Paso, Oct. (Emissaries of
Pancho Villa have been to this city
! conferring with members of the new
i
revolutionary party, the Legalistas,
according to reparts to State Depart-
agents here. At least one Vil-
IJista is known to have arrived on
hors.lwck, crossing the Rio Grande
below Juarez.
At this meeting the United Stales
authorities believe, an agreement was
perfected for the bandit leader to
l uT'mand the field forces of tho new
mevernent. The United States secret
service mm already hve reported
sia h tin agreement, to bo in effect. In
K.tu n, the Legalistas are to furnish
money to pay the army in silver.
The new revolutionary party in
its official newspaper here, El Le
trulista. avowsa s itho object of its
formation the accomplishment of tho
downfall of Carranza.
WORSE IN NORTHERN
MEXICO TO WASHINGT'N
Washington, Oct. 25. -Conditions
'i Xor'hern Mexico resulting from
ho reappearance of Villa as a mili
lary f ictor, are commanding more
".itenlion here thin at any other
'me since the Columbus raid.
Administration officials were to
ri e-ht of the opinion that the Ameri-un-Meyiean
commi.ssion at Atlantic
City cannot b'j expected to arrive at
:i satisfactory solution of border
problems until the situation in Chi
huahua has boon clarified. Further
more, there appears small probabili
ty that the regular or national guard
forces now on the border will be re
duced soon.
Coupled with reports which dis
p.i;"ge the stability of Grneral Carranza'.-;
-regime and interpret his re
moval from Mexico City to Quoretaro
as a : itrn of the breaking-up process
which his enemies have rep atedly
pred'ot'-d, the military movements of
Vil'a, now making a formidable cam
paign in Chihuahua, are regarded as
menacing the do facto's control of the
whole northern country.
There are also apparently well
founded but indefinite reports of the
connection of the so-called Legalista
movements with the whole train of
: vents.
