WAKELONSCHOOL OPENING NOT TILL SEPT 7TH Good Reasons For Postponing Until That Date Announcement last week that Wake lon School would open on August ill, was not an error, but on account of something unforeseen at that time, the opening has been postponed till September 7th. Everything was about in readi ness for the opening on August -'list, but now it seems that it would be wise to hold over for one week. This will give the patrons and teachers a week longer to get ;n readiness. The following was handed into our office on Wednesday afternoon: “Opening of Wakelon School has been postponed till Monday, Septem ber 7th. “For reasons which seem good to number of patrons, members of the School Board and teachers, the open ing of the Wakelon Schools has been •postponed till Monday, September 7th.” TWO WIDOWS LEFT BY AIR.M \N BECOME FRIENDS FOR LIFE As an aftermath to an airplane crash Friday, at Los Angeles, Cal., in which Wi'liam R.

THE ZEBULON RECORD Stray Bullet Came Near Doing Damage Friday night about 10:30 o’clock a stray bullet from a pistol or rifle found its way to the front porch of Mr. G. B. Brantley with some force, but not enough to embed itself in the framing of the porch. It is thought it had about spent it force, and as it hit the framing of the side of the porch it fell to the floor. Mrs. Brantley had only a few mo ments before been sitting on the | porch almost in the ‘rack of the but i let. Had she been‘on the porch at j that time she might have been hit. ; Mrs. Brantley has the bullet in her | possesion, and it is hoped that some way can be found that will prove the owner of the fire-arms that are shoot | ing around in such a careless manner. There has been several pistol shots | recently around the town about 9 or 10 o’clock in the evening. It is thought j that some young boys have in their i possion a pistol* or pistols, and the i firing is more for fun than anything | else. However, this a serious matter I and the party or parties, whether ! boys or men, should be apprehended and given full justice. Keep your eye open and report matters of this kind to the police department. WILL SING AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY MORNING Mrs. J. F.

C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 14,1925 KLANSMEN STAGE NOTABLE PARADE IN WASHINGTON Thousands of Klans men Along Line of March Pennsylvania Led in •Number at Big Event. Guessing and estimating how many thousands and tens of thousands of Klansmen and Klanswomen were in the monster Ku-Klux Klan parade beginning at Washington last Satur day, promptly at 3 o’clock in the after noon and lasting into the night with nearly four hours of marching was a popular sport, but how many in all there were will have to go down into history as guess work unless the Klan itself has some enumeration arrange ment of its own. With 50,000 as a minimum the part de, there were estimates up to 75,000 and 100,000, while some estimated it at 150,000, other guesses being that there were more than that number. The parade converted Pennsylvania Avenue into the likness of an Arabian Night dream. That there were around 150,000 of the members of the hooded order all told, it is said by many, and there was evidence that there were many Klans men who did not march. Information the great mass of people that lined from a Klan source was that among the line of parade there were some 50,00 Klansmen in citizen’s clothes with instructions to quickly put an end to any b t of disorder that might show its head. But if there were any who contemplated disorderly con duct it was not to be seen, the fact being that no more orderly parade and no more orderly crowd to view a parade has ever been seen in Washing ton.

Judge Dunn declared that it was unwise to accept the pet hobbies of any sentimentalist about the courts. He said that North Carolina does not need any more judges, and that if ihe litigants and lawyers would co operate the business of the courts could be dispatched by the present I judges. He pointed out that business | men could not make a living if they did not begin work until 9:30 o’clock, took two hours off for lunch and stopped work at 5 o’clock. “The old short day suited the day of wig and gown,” Judge Dunn de clared, “but it is not suited to the present-day need.” He cautioned the grand jurors to . be careful about the evidence of men | who come to them wispering but are j unwilling to have their names used. . Judge Dunn declared that such evi i dence was usually actuated by malice. | He declared that if men had any evi | deuce tbe proper thing for them to , do was to swear out a warrant. He declared that his court would not appreciate or tolerate any in formation in behalf of or against a defend: nt outside of court and that j any information about defendants 1 must be given in open court where it could be answered. Judge Dunn reminded the jurors that twelve votes in the grand jury are necessary in order to return a true bill and that if twelve votes were not secured the bill should be returned as not a true bill.

Streets Being Worked Over Improvements on our streets been going on for the last we-k m more. Nearly every street in . has been worked over and it is quite an improvem ent and f. v. up ■ . streets to great advantage. It is hoped that the sidewalk; 5, some places will receive attention. If it is the owners’ place to fix up the idewalks, every one should take pri'h in doing his or her part and it v. j! : add much toward beautifying <> town, as well as making it bettei f■■: ! pedestrians. If every family would keep up thf sidewalks it would then encourage \ the city authorities to keep evr [ street in the town in good condition. It will not be long before we will! have a great many visitors each d ;. in our town, and it behooves each one - to get the sidewalks in nice shape, so that our town will make a good ap- ' pearance. Let’s clean and brush up and make ready for the tobacco farmers and many others who will visitor our city this fall.

Two district fairs have been organ -1 ized to be held in Wake county this fall. They are the Eastern and West ern Wake Fairs. The Eastern Wake Fa r v. iM be held at Wendell, Fr : day | and Saturday, October 2nd and 3rd. , ’I he Western Wake Fair will he held •| at Apex, the following Friday and . j Saturday, October 9th and 10th. These fairs will be educational and I will serve as a medium for sh nving . and displaying some of the results of i j our year’s work. They will also give th t people of these districts r.n oppor tunity to compare the r seeds, breeds, . methods, and some of the results of . their efforts, with other people in the , district*. They cannot b rl a success without an abundance of exhibits, however, and should receive the sup port of the leading farmers and farm [ women throughout the county. If properly conducted and supported. I a.n sure that they will prove to he worthwhile institutions and will do much to a d in the development of these sections. The prizes will be small but they . should be incidental or secondary to , those who are competing. Teaching ■ and learning how to improve or pro ! duce a better product should l>" the ; objective of every exhibitor and is far j more worthy than simply winning a prize for the prize's sake. The prize ; is soon gone or forgotten, but the | idea or object lesson that may be j gained from a First Prize product can 1 be utilized for years to come. The exhibits at these fairs should ! include somt of the best products of | the farm, orchard, garden, and home, that can be produced ill Wake county, j The larger the number of exhibits, l the better. We can then have an op portunity to compare ar.d learn the I difference between good and poor '! specimens of the same product and ' learn how and why one excells the other. This information is often very valuable and should help to induce the defeated exhibitor to use better ..;'*ds or breeds, or to adopt better methods and make a greater effort to improve and produce u better product. It is hoped that much friendly competition and rivalry can be developed between now and the time the fairs are held awl that exhibits w 11 be much better and larger than ever before. Exhi bit something, it matters not how large nor how small. It will help the fair ar.d afford an opportunity for comparison. Boost the fairs and feel free to offer any suggestions or help to the officers that will make the fairs i better. We want th"in to serve their ■ pu poses as real community builders.
