It has been handicapped by the lack of money!. "Other great-fairs'in i the country have had plenty of -mon'-ey and the building up oi big fair,, with a large - premium 'list and a great array 'of exhibi th has been comparatively easy.- Here the Fair has hail to build largely upon, its own resources and for a part of the time it has had an uphill struggle. : Persistent ef fort, however, has won and;, the Fair has come sto be recognized as second to none. '. The Fair has been a wonderful stimulus in the agricultural," de velopment of the State and like wise ;in3its industrial ..progress; The State Department of Agri culture makes an extensive exhi bit at the -Fair each year and it I haa been found that this exhibit Q is the best of the farmers insti tutes the State conducts. ; it has been a great inspiration to. the farmer, and to the department as well. : - . ' .;; The Fair is an educational in stitution. Its . main purpose is I to instruct. It provides amuse ment and in this line it is seek ing to give the best, but the main purpose has never been lost sight.of. ' It has gone stead ily forward in the effort to show North Carolina and the world what the State is doing and. also to inspire the State through -seed ing her possibilities to continue to do greater things One help the management finds, is the in creasing number of county fairs. All these fairs help; the State J Fair by creating interest. They too, are educational and they help to increase the number of exhib its and the patronage. Regarding the amusement fea- ture the management has become stringent in its demand for clean shows and- in its prohibition against gambling and games of chance.- JMo dancing girl . shows are'admitted to the grounds and no gambling devices. The bar ring of these gambling devices and the vulgar shows has brought a better grade of amusements and some good attractions are booked for this yean. There has been a gratifying increase in the vprices and pre miums offered'this year and the increase in the number of exhib its is also gratifying. The agri- cultural and horticultural exhib its "will be above the average this year. The apple exhibit especi ally, will be worth going miles to see. The commercial value of apple-raising will be clearly il lustrated and demonstrated to all comers with larger classifica tion than ever before. The Society now offers premi ums of $25, $15 and $10 for best exhibit by any rural puble school. This has been added since the Premiun List was published.

While sentiment hostile to te liquor traffic has been politically effective mainly in the South, -it exists powerfully in many North ern States. At the South prohi bition, ' has religious and racial inspiration, and . in some cases. has been carried by the whites solely for the purpose of depriv ing the negroes of strong drink. At the North it is urced now chiefly in resentment against the dominance and corruption of sa loons in political management- - Probably there 'are more-, sa loons in New York or Chicago than ever existed in half a dozen nessee and West Virginia.
