A local talent show was given in the opera house last Friday night, directed by a Mr. Art JLa Man, who dropped off here from th Pickert Stock' Cq. several weeks ago, , It was given under the name of the Rockingham Band, but as a matter of fact the band boys lost something like al dollar. The receipts amounted to $215, out of which the rental of the costumes ($79),' the board and expenses of the advertising director, house rental etc had to come. All remaining after these expenses was to be divided 50-50 between Band and director, but there '-'wasn't any core." The admission was $1.10, which was rather high and probably ac counted for the comparatively small house. The features of the show was the Hamlet quar tette, the buck dancing of Johnsie McAulay and the black-face work of Jimmie Fowlkes, The Band boys deserve to be helped; they have practiced faith fully this past year and have 'a splendid playing organization. Some way ought to be devised to help them financially, for, they are worthy of the aid of -the com munity. Get Your Exhibits. Without your cooperation, the Richmond County Fair cannot possibly.be a success. Rake up an exhibit, and get behind this home enterprise and make it go.' The Secretary has lined a big Midway, and the county agents have worked faithfully on the exhibit end. Let's go. That Blue X Mark. The subscriptions of two hundred or more subscribers expired during the past two weeks or so. A blue X mark is placed on the papers of all whose time is out, aad we hope you will attend to the renewal without delay. Thank you. Out ol Pod. Steals a Hon. John Woodward, it young white man, early last year was' sentenced to the penitentiary 'or stealing cloth from Hannah Fickett mill. He served his sentence', and has been a free man for several months now, and wes at work at Hannah Pickett mill. On Tuesday night of last week he and. Willie Berryman impropriated to their own use 5 Ifemnosting near the milf, the property of Josh 1 H. Bean. This occurred, about 9:30 at night, they coing to a neighbor's "house and having the fowl dressed end cooked. Mr. Benn had the"two arrested, andf they were given a hearing before Squire Mullis Satur day afternoon. W. t$. Jones represented the pri vate i)rosecition. The young men submitted und were hound to Janu ary term of court under !ond each; they could not give this, and so are nowin jail to await court. Sewerage at Roberde1. The huge' stand-pipe, 12 feet in diameter, and 07 feet high, was com pleted at Roherdci ten days ago and filled w4-th water. 4 It holds 56,(KKJ gallons, the mill pumps rilling it in less than twer hours. The pipe is on the higlvest elevation surfound ing the mill, Iwhveen Leak's plan ing mill and the cotton mill. The firm-of Tucker & Laxton have the contract for laying the. sewer lines, and this work is expected to he completed before Dec. 3u); Sew erage connections will be made in all of tho 56 old and 5 new houses of the company, and in any of the 30 privately owned homes if the owners ddsire sam'e. The water works are for sewerage only, and not for the homes. Gang on State Line Road. The county chain-gang wae moved on Wednesday of last week to a point three miles from Hamlet On the Hamlet-State Line road. This road wijl be surfaced a 20-foot width, and should he completed in two months. The gang now has 55 prisoners IS of whom are colored. Splendid Road. The road that Supt. Baldwin recently completed from Hamlet towards Gibson, with the chain gang, is without doubt one of the best pieces of sand-clay road at the present time in the State. It is clayed the entire width of the road, and cost something like $800 per mile. This road is in striking contrast to the road leading from Hamlet to Hoffman which was let to contractors under Federal supervision at a cost of about $3000 per mile. Notice to Tax Payers. The tax books are now in my hands, and I ask everybody to come forward and settle their taxes at once. The law provides that all taxes are due during the month of Oct ober, and specifies that a discount of one per cent shall be allowed if paid before Dec. 1st r l. McDonald.

The seventh annual Fair of the Richmond County Fair As sociation will be held at the Fair Grounds at Rockingham on Oct. 26, 27, 28, 29. Apparently a greater interest is being taken in it this year than during any previous year. Secretary Cor- pening informs this paper that his plans have never before been in better shape, nor have "the prospects been brighter. The Midway will be made up of the West' Bright Light Shows. This organization is larger and stronger, and the claim s made that it has the best road shows that will this yearmake the var ious Fairs of the South. From Rockingham it goes to the New Bern Fair, then to the Dunn Fair and on further South. A numoer of free attractions will be given, among the acts being a high dive by a woman, etc. . The premium book was printed several weeks ago. A glance at this attractive book shows that the premiums this year are larger than fot; any other Fair, Both Mr. Barton and Mrs. Cov ington, the farm and home dem- j onstra.ion agents for Richmond county, have manifested a keen interest in the Fair, ann the cash premiums in their departments are much larger than heretofore. The books can be secured either from the two county agents, or from cretary A. G. Corpening. Friday, the 28th, will be Edu cational Day. It is hoped every school in the county will turn out for the day and permit their students to attend this Richmond county product. Rockingham and Ellerbe will play football in the afternoon, and many athletic events will be pulled off, a list of which is given further along in this article. The opening day is Wednesday, 26th, with a Parade as the fea ture. M. H. French is chief marshal, with Minor T. Hinson, assistant.

The parade will form at 10 o'clock at the "Rockets," corner of Depot and Main streets, and headed by the band, will rrfove promptly at 10:30 up Main street aud thence to theFair Grounds.

Bankers (News Item in Daily Paper) 26, 27, 28, 29 Resisting Officer. Three white men, Josh Bean, Ed. Keller and Walter Pate, will be given a hearing before Squire Mullis Friday on a very serious charge. It is that of resisting an officer, assaulting an officer and carrying concealed weapons. The trouble occurred at the circus grounds Tuesday when a specially deputized officer, John Woodle, attemped to arrest Josh Bean who was either drunk or pretty full, and who, according fo the officer, had a knife out after a circus employee. Keller accord ing to the officer, hit ' him (the officer) in the head with a pistol when he attemped t j arrest Bean. In the general melee that follow ed, the officer's clothes were torn and his face made bloody. Emerging from the encounter he came to town and notified the Sheriff. Sheriff McDonald with several deputies soon located the men in the road towards the mill, and Bean leveled an automatic shot-gun on the Sheriff when that official started toward him. . He was finally induced to drop the gun and submit to arrest. Later The paper understands that Keller left by rail Wednes day, with no forwarding address. Who Is Most Popular Girl?
