VOLUME XXIII Midnight Will See End of BigC abarrus County F air Closing Day Has Brought One of the Largest Crowds of Entire Week to Marvel at “Regular” Fair. RAINIHALTEOTHE RACES ON FRIDAY But the Fair Association Coir % lected SI,OOO in Rain In surance-Officials Express Delight With Atendance. Tonight tin* f’abarrtm County Fair romps to an rnti. after one of the most ! conspicuous openings of any project | launched in recent years in Cabarrus County. The project was planned on an ' extensive scale, was carried out on an | equally extensive scale and was supported J by an enthusiasm that has matched any shown ill the history of Cabarrus County for any undertaking. Tlie last day of the fair witnessed the moving of large crowds to the fair grounds. The crowds moved to the grounds today earlier than on any other day. This was accounted for by the presence of an unusually large number of farm people who are accustomed to be gin their day’s work early and who came to make a full day at the .fair. They wanted to see everything and many were waiting at the gates when they were op ened. The crowd today has been jovial, but on the faces of some of the men who have worked hard for the fair, on the faces of others who have been daily visitors at the fair and who have looked long and ' much, there has been an expression Isir- . dering on sorrow —a feeling natifral in j view of the success of the fair and the I pleasure they have known in its success.' They regret to see the fair close, though I its operation lias taken much of their | time and energy. They regard the fair somewhat as a child of their creative brains and they have known keen pleas ure in the successful debut made by the offspring. But at the same time they are finding keen pleasure in the realization that the protege will be larger and even more of a success next year, due to the popularity of its "coming out" party this year. . Officials of the fair probably will be ready by Monday to announce the total attendance of the fair, or at least to give the total of i>nid admissions. The work of checking up tlie for the da*t* is "I^<l^3p ! iot(tff“a*f<! when this is finished it xjurill be but an easy task Jo add the paid admissions to day. Officials of the fair estimate that at least 15,000 persons have been in the grounds each day except the opening day when the crowd was larger. But from the total each day must be deduct ed the pass holders, aud as there is no way to check up the number of persons who have entered on pauses, or the num ber of times these persons have (jittered, the exact attendance will not be known. Officials of the fair expect to get at least $25,000 from the total receipts. The crowds during the week have led officials to place their estimate at these figures.’ Despite the rain of Thursday-night and Friday afternoon big crowds were present throughout Friday aud Friday night. Attractive races were scheduled for the afternoon and although three of them were rained out. those that took place were witnessed by a crowd that jummed the grandstand to capacity and left thousands to seek points of advant age around the fences. Tlie race in which Mrs. F. T. Cannon, of this city, was to participate, was rain ed out. The rain halted after falling about 20 minutes, but it left the track too slippery for farther races. The pro poses race in which Mrs. Cannon was to | participate was one of tlie features of the program and there was keen disap pointment that the rain should come just at a time to make the running of the race unsafe. All of the races which were interrupt ed or postponed by the rain on Friday will be completed aud run this afternoon. Two heats in the free for all trot and two heats in the pace race were complet ed Friday and the third heats will be run today. ® The race between Mrs. E. T. Cannon and Mr. Harry Spoerliase also will take place this afternoon. The fair association will collect SI,OOO rain insurance as a result of the rain Friday afternoon. The policy held by the association stated that at least two tenths of an inch of rain had to fall be fore any insurance would be paid and it was announced by officials of the fair that this amount of rain fell Friday. In fact there was one-hOndredth of an inch in ad dition to the required two-tenths. All of the exhibits at the grounds were judged Thursday night. The report of the judges has been submitted aud will be published in full later. Other reports probably will be submitted early next week, and the winners in all will be pub lished as the lists are submitted. In ad dition to the winners in the poultry ex hibits, the names of persons making en tries will be announced. This will be done because in many instances no prizes had Ijeen provided for certain entries, but the winners in the classes were given, blue ribbons by the judges who took such action with the view to increasing inter est in the contests so that more birds will be entered in the fair next year. The following address by Major Foil on the opening day gives some interest ing facts in regard to the fair: There are two occasions, my friends, upon which my eyes grow moist and my voice grows husky. One is standing at the bier of a friend; the other when I am overly rejoiced. Today, my friends, lam overly rejoiced. I realize that the. good people of Cabarrus county, by their presence here today have spoken and , (Continued on Tage Three.) Concord Daily Tribune MR.

This is no time to be pessimistic about the future, continued Mr. I»ug. Our forefathers established this government on the principle that a government must be by the consent of the governed, and this principle has stood the test of the centuries.

Commissioner Haynes believes the matter can be dealt with effectively through the Federal permit powers. Busch Qives Views. St. Louis, Oct. 20.—Political consider ations, such as the raising of party cam paign funds Iwive entered the enforce ment of the national prohibition law, and apparently ha« made certain large cities immune from its provisions, Au gust A. Busch, former brewer, declared in a letter to President Coolidge mad> public here last night. The letter was written under date of October 15th in connection with the conference of Gov ernors at Washington today. In the letter Mr.* Busch asserted that the l uge steel, oil and packing interests financed aud advocated enforcement of -the iKffi luneffiTiifent To sttfetrack gM-Crp ment anti-trust jiroceedings against them, and that only 2 1-2 per cent, of the peo ple had a voice in the enactment of the ■*. law. The letter ascribed the latter as sertion as the reason for its wholesale disregard. Mr. Busch declared lax enforcement has corrupted the Federal service, up rooted respect of law, and has set back the cause of temperance several years by driving the illicit manufacturer of in toxicants *into the home and by Hood ing ti-e country wit? hsmuggled liquors. He said that when his representative presented evidence of widespread viola tion to enforcement interests at Wash ingten, an officer he did not name, ad mitted that the “department has b<»»*»ni< so corrupt that it could not enforce tin* law.” HARVEY A.
