•• • * • ASSOfclAfgb $ • PRESS * • DISPATCHES ® VOLUME XXIII Officials Pleased With Attendance at the Fair Officials Are Now Busily En gaged in Making Check of Records and Data About the Fair. WORDS OF PRAISE HEARD EVERYWHERE Not Only is Fair Praised, For the Men Who Made It Possible Are Given Full Share of Credit. With the sounding of the midnight ! hohr Saturday night the big Cabarrus ( otittty Fail- came to a close, after on- 1 joying a run that challenges the success I of any other fair ever held in Xm-tli Car-! olina by a single county. The fair was I officially opened Tuesday morning andj thousands of visitors passed into the grounds to witness the free aets. view the splendid.exhibits aud cheer their fav orites itr the horse races. The attendance on Saturday was the' smallest of the week, but according to of ficials of the fair more Ilian 5.000 per sons paid their way into the grounds on that day. The closing day always has the smallest attendance, it was pointed out, and fair officials were delighted that more than $2,500 should be taken in on - the last day of the fair. “We've Imd one of the best fairs ever held in the South." said Dr. T. X. Spen cer, secretary of the Cabarrus fair, when seen this morning while in the midst of cheeking up various details incident to the dosing of the fair. "The atten dance was far beyond expectation." 1 ty. Spencer added, "and’even on the closing day we took in more than $2,500." The secretary asserted „ that he and other'officials of the fair hail heard many complimentary statements relative to the farm exhibits, .and Dr. Spencer asserted that all of the exhibits at the fair were better than usually found at a county el even a district fair. The success of the fair this year has led Dr. Spencer to believe that the fail next year will take equal rank with the State fair in practically ever respect. "The farm people were astonished with the magnitude of the fair,” he added. “They were skeptical and many were un willing to bring in their produce and livestock. Hut next year they will be ready and we will have livestock and \ produce in much greater quantity ihan .... ' _ _ tVxfs'm-i-r also stated tiiat race men who brought their horses here were more than delighted with the treatment ac corded them and the purses offered. The secretary, of the fair stated that next year larger purses would be offered, and he declared that many of the trainers and drivers declared they would be right here for the opening next year. The race track came in for special commen dation, he declared, as did the grand ■stand and barns. Work of dismantling the Zeldman & I‘ollie shows began late Saturday night after the greater part of the crowd had left aud by the advent of the Sabbath most of the work had been done. All of the shows had been taken down, packed up and loaded by noon yester day and the special train left Concord I during the afternoon. Alost of. the exhibits were left in the ! building until this morning. Some of i the farmers carried their livestock and \ produce home Saturday night, but most of if was left until til's morning. By night it is believed that most of the buildings will be empty with the excep tion of some of the decorations which will be left for the colored people's fair which will be in next month. With few exception all of the race horses brought here for the fair, have been shipped on to other fair centers. I A number of the best horses were sent by express to Wilson, where a fair opens tomorrow. Others were sent to Pine, hurst, and the few left here will be tak en later to Pinehurst for the fair which begins there on the 30th of this month. With the ending of the fair there came also an ending to Concord’s holiday ap pearance. The decorations which were displayed throughout the city lust week have been taken down and the appear ance of the city is normal - again. Officials of. the fair will be busy at the grounds for several days. The entire enclosure will be policeil by a squad of expert cleaners and all trash, dirt and debris will be carted off so that the grounds will again present 'a neat and dean appearance. Everything will be done to put the grounds in excellent shape for the opening of the eolored peoples' fair. Throughout the entire day certain of ficials of the fair have been busy check ing up tickets and other data for the pur jmse of determining just how many per sons paid to get into the grounds during the'week. The actual number of persons who attended the fair will never be known, of course, because of pass holders and others who entered the grounds with out paying. The actual number of tick ets sold, however, will give a fairly just estimate of the crowds that visited the fair. The races proved the most interesting feature of. the fair Saturday and a good bit of local color wns given to them by the entrance of Mrs. E. T. Cannon aud Dr. T. X. Spencer in the list of drivers. Airs. Cannon was scheduled to make her tace Friday, bu\ rain interrupted, so she drove Saturday. She drove King B, star star from the stable of Harry Bpoerhase, of Orlando, and Mr. Spoerhase was her opponent in the race. Mrs. Cannon bun dled her horse well and came under the wire ahead. Dr. Spencer drove Saxon Boy and won from a good field. The race in which Dr. Spencer drove waa an added feature in addition to the regular racing card.

Ail address by Airs. Sidney R. Kep -1 ncr, of I'ottstown. Pa., president of the Missionary Convention of the t'nited l I.uthem» Chiirch in America, ami a pageant, •The Day." took the place of i the regular vesper service at St. .lames 1 .lit h ora n Church on Sunday evening. 1 In the pageant, which preceded the ] address, the parts were taken by the young ladies of the ehureh, assisted by I a choir of fifty voices, a total of seventy eight young ladies taking part in the pro- Idm-tiou. under the direction of Miss Con- stance Cline. The pageant depicted i Japan and her endeavors for a great fu tore. The Splnit of Reconstruction, represented by Miss Ruth Dry. ques tioned Japan as to what iier future will | he. Japan, represented by Miss Helen j Patterson-, calls up Filial Piety,- Patrio j tisin and Education and shows what they have done for her part, but she i« shown how these virtues have not elevajed the women of Japan, but have led them to , do evil. Japan is then told that the Christian faith alone can help her reach the heights she fain would reach, and she is then surrounded by Christianity and her attendants. Probably (lie pret tiest part in the pageant was the forma tion of an electric cross, composed of the attendants of Christianity and their electric torches. i The young ladies taking part in the pageant were. Filial Piety. Mrs. 1,. A. Fisher: Education. Mrs. Charles A. Meis; Patriotism, Airs. 11. <i. Gibson; I hristinuity, Airs. A. Thomas; six Attendants of the Age; Three Daugh ters of Japan, thirteen Attendants of Christianity. -Mrs. Kepner was then introduced by Rev. L. A. Thomas, and outlined to her hearers the plans being worked out by the women to build a $175,000 school in Japan for the purpose of giving the girls of Japan a Christian education. At present. Airs. Kepner fold iter an- , dience. 08 per cent, of the people of Ja- ] pail can read and write. This is on , account of the compulsory education ] laws of the country, which compel chil- , dren to go through the primary schools. t However, here is where education al- , most entirely* ceases, for the higher . schools can accommodate only about one ' child out of every thirty, and In the pro- , grant of expansion which tltc Japanese j government is earryitfg out for its schools. , the girls are not taken into considera- The government is overlooking MJm » » xim man its'women, ami upon tlnnn depends the moral life of the nation. In edu eat:ng of Christiaui/.ing a Japanese man. only one person is educated or convert ed. while the education or conversion of a girl or woman means the winning of an entire family. The missionary forces of the United Synod of the Soulli 1 ong ago recognised this fact, and ten years ago sent Alisses Bowers and Akard to the Japanese field, with the Idea of later building up luschoo! for girls. Events since then have pre vented the maturing of thes* plans. These young women have seen the cry ing need of the women in Japan, where they have been denied file privileges atid benefits they receive in Christian nations. It ,is said that in Jafuin the traffic in women and girls each year amounts to tin- huge sum of $00,000,000. 'if a mail gets into debt lie has the privilege of selling his daughters or sisters to pay off the debt he owes, and this is a pro vision that is taken advantage of most readily. The women of the T'nited Lutheran Church in America have pledged them selves to the building of this school in Japan within the next biennium, and have already started an aggressive cam paign to bring this work -to a successful culmination. * A congregation that taxed the capacity of St. James Church was present at the services, and a number were turned away on account of the lack of space. Visit ing Their Mother. Airs. John A. Sims has returned from a visit with her daughter, Mrs.' Paul Parks, of Durham. She was accompanied home by Mrs. Parks, who will spend sev eral days here.
