ASSOCIATED PT* A * DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV. Another Multitude Paid Visit To The Cabarrus County Fair On Friday inn - VISIT AT GROUNDS Program by Klansmen at Night One of Features % That Attracted Another - Monster Crowd. ) MUCH INTEREST k IS MAINTAINED Crowd In Jovial Spirit as It Enjoyed Varied and , Interesting Program Os , sered During Day. No lack of interest in the Third Annual Cabarrus County Fair was shown Friday, the attendance for the day being practically the same on Thursday when 25,000 persona visit ed the fair. i Beginning at the noon hour Fri day, thousands of persons visited the fair grounds, visitors from Salisbury, Lexington,(Gastonia, Charlotte, Fay etteville and Albemarle being spotted by friends, while it was reported that many other cities in the State were represented by large delegations at night when members of the Ku Kltix Kian offered a program in conjunction with the regular fair program. Gate keepers at the fair grounds are authority for the statement that more autos passed into the grounds Friday than on Thursday, the mtm- • ber growing to suclt proportions dur ing the early evening that admittance through the first gate was prohibited. ~ The big parking, space, south of the 1 main entrance to the grouuds, was completely filled during the night, and several thousand additional -cars were parked at other points of vant age throughout the grounds. As was the ense Thursday night. , some persons had to be asked to leave the grounds after midnight FrM*j. Everything at the grounds was in full hiastat il&jiock and even when wills . nflfW'Wtjteihe midway was’not empty? ’ Shortly after the free acte, the Kian program and the fireworks were over, a procession of ears was headed to ward Concord and the stream of au tos was not broken until after 11 o'clock. While the crest of the flood passed into the grounds before the free acts started, hundreds of strag glers wended their way to the grounds later.* No official estimate of the crowd was available today but it is known that more than 20,000 persons were at the . grounds during the day. Many of the persons undoubtedly were attracted to the grouuds by the Kian program.’ The fact that the Klansmen were to offer a program had been well advertised and curiosity as to the nature of the program induced 'many persons to visit the fair again. There is always something of mystery about a parade in which the marchera are robed, aDd the Klansmen paraded before a ero.wd of more than 12,000, The program as announced in The Tr’bune Friday was followed by the Klansmen. There was a ahort talk and n parade, following the free acts. Slightly more than 200 marchers were in the parade all hooded and robed, ' and in addition, according to estimtitfa by members of the organization, more than a thousand unrobed Klansmen wyre in the audience that viewed the marchers and listened to the speech. A red cross burned throughout the night on the stage where the free acts were given, the cross being construct ed of red electric light bulbs. The pa rade formed on the race track, and moved in review by the grandstand. The- robed figures marched two abreast. , After they had completed their pro gram many of the Klansmen walked about the fair grounds, garbed in their robes but without masks. Many'of the robed men were strangers. In addition to the robed, Klansmen about two score of robed women were , at the grounds, they being members of the woman's organization' affiliated with the Kian. Mrs. Garnett B.

Robinson, former chief of po lice in Concord, present deputy sheriff and during this week gate custodian * at the fair grounds, brought to light this morning some facts about the fair officials that the publie didn’t know. Mr. Robinson, whose kindness is one pf his outstanding virtues, said hundreds of need, poorly clad urchins , bad been admitted to the fair grounds free of charge during the*" week, through the policy of kindness adopt ed by the fair officials. “On Tuesday,” says the story toid by Mr. Robinson, “Dr. Spencer, Mr. Caldwell and other fair Officials told me to watch closely at the gates for children who would not have money enough to get within the gates. The officials said they did not want lack of money to keep any child in the county from the fair. "Os course on Tuesday all school children were’ admitted and I had i little to do. By Thursday, however, the list of needy children at the gate had grown to some size. I tried to size up the kids and those, who seemed in need I admitted wimout cost. The expression of on their faces is the greatest 'experience ganization, was i one of the officials present. The Kian speaker;' whose address lasted only 10 or 15 minutes, outlined some of the aims and purposes of the organization, defended its actions and denounced some of its criticisers. He devoted, the greater part of his talk to a denunciation of Catholics. As was the case on other days, ev ery feature of the fair program was carried on without hitch. The shows on the midway, the free acts, the races, j the various rides attracted thousands during the day and night, the variety of the program again re sulting in words of commendation far the fair officials who overlooked noth ing in arranging their features. The exhibit hall, the livestock build ings and the poultry houses were pack ed throughout the day. From the in terest shown in - the exhibits it was majority of the per sons present Friday had not been within the grounds before, and they marveled as they viewed the excellent exhibits. Judging from remarks heard among ; the crowd, the popularity of the free nets has increased from day to day. Persons are beginning to realize that few fairs offer such a variety of free acts of speh high character. It is re ported that no other fair in the South this year is offering as many free acts as the Cabarrus fair. “You just cau't tell about it; the peoeple have to see for themselves.” said a Concord man this morning. He is right. The fair is just bigger than anything dreamed of here and to real ize it you have to see it. Capt. W. S.
