RECORD IS MADE
Official Figures Expected to
Show All Previous Rec

Large Crowds Present.
. Th<> ’TW-ff Annual Cabarrus Connty
Pair ended (n,» blast? of glory Satur
day night, and unofficial figures show
that all attendance records .for local
fairs were smashed by the multitudes
which crowded into the grounds dur
ing the week.
Usually with fairs the closing dny
attracts few persons, but the rule
was reversed here th : s year ami Sat
urday’s attendance was unusually
good. The crowd Saturday could not
compare in fixe with Thursday's and
Friday's, but several thousand peo
ple, were on hand to enjoy flic feast
' of good things'up to the last minute.
Showers played hide and seek with
the spectators during the day, but the.
.rainfall was never enough to dampen
the enthusiasm.of those present or pre
vent any features of the varied pro
gram from being carried out.
When the first Cabarrus fair was
offered three years ago officials stated
that features as advertised would be
carried out whenever it has humanly
possible. Tha't this i>olley was adher
ed to this year is shown by two in
stances—the races on Wednesday nnd
Saturday. A heavy rain fell Wednes
day but the race program was carried
out without hitch, despite the .foot
that -officials could easily have declar
ed the track too .wet aud saved $(100
in purses. The same condition exist
ed Saturday. Tjie rain that day was
not as heavy as on Wednesday, but
.at the time for the races a light rain
was falling and officials could have j
called off the scheduled- events nnd
saved the purse money. They ordered
the races, however, as they had prom
ised to do.
1 Practically all of the exhibits were
carried from tbe fatr grounds Satut
free acts, the fireworks and the shows
on the midway. Several thousand
were present to enjoy the - free acts
and the fireworks and when these
were over -the spectators horrid to
the midway to spend their last fleeting
minutes of the fair amid the milling
throng.
Members of the Wtrcassett Rand, of
Albemarle, which again the year fur
nished munis f-or the fair, left for
their homes Saturday night.* The band
has become a fixture with the fair and
its concerts during the week were add
ed attractions that gave much pleas
ure to those present.
Practically all of N the race horses
f r were shipped from Concord Saturday
night and Sunday. South went to Co
lumbia, S. C., others to (Joldsboro, and
still others to various cities which will
stage fairs during the week. Some of
the hprses owned by "local men will re
main at the grounds for tbe winter.
The Rernardi Greater Shows which
occupied the midway left Saturday
night for Goldsboro, where they will
offer their httraettons nt the fair this
week. *
The Duttona, who presented the ex
cellent free acts, left fox'Columbia,
8. C. Next week they will be In
Spartanburg, and then they go to
Gulf Port, Mias.
It probably will be several days be
fore an official estimate of the attend
ance at the fair can be given- C. L.
Smith, local accountant, is assisting
the officials of tbe fair with tbe work
of checking up the books nnd until he
is ready with his report, nothing offi
cial will be known.
It -it known, however, that cl ode to
25,000 persons visited-the grounds on
Thursday, with an attendance of
aboqj the same proportions on Fri

President Joseph P. Cannon, of the
fair association. Saturday night de
clared that plans would be made nt
once for the 1920 fair. He was de
lighted yrifh the fine attendance during
the vreek. he said, and expressed the
opinion that this fair-has only serv
ed to Increase the county’s prestige
as a fair center.
I)r. T. N. Spencer, secretary of. the
fair, spoke griefly Saturday night,
expressing appreciation to those per
sons who made the fair such a suc
cess and adding a word about the 192(1
fair. *
"We ore going to endeavor to make
the fair next year better than it was
this year," Secretary Spencer said,
“as we tried to make this year’s bet
ter than the other two. 1 predicted
some months ago that the public wotdil
be astounded at the program we would
offer during the fait and I think in
this respect I at least proved a good
prophet. I appreciate greatly the
support of the public, feeling that the
flip- attendance of the week is evi
dence that- the program we arranged
is‘satisfying."
With the dosing of the gates at
midnight the fair became history, and
all that remains of the hectic week is
the trash and dirt that of necessity
accumulates, all of which will be re
moved from tbe groundß today. /
' C. A. Robinson, one of the gate
keepers at the fair groumls[ nnd oth
ers who labored at the grounds, were
loud in their praise for the faif offi
cials.
"I have never seen finer men to work
with than the officials of the fair who
had charge of the details,” Mr. Rob
inson said. “I am certain all officials
were just as anxious to carry on the'
work but we naturally saw more of
Secretary Spencer and H. W. Cald
well, who were actively engaged at
the grounds all the week.
“Thetw men were familiar with all
details; they knew just what they
wanted done and their instructions «to
us made our work much easier. With
out taking from any others the credit
due them, I feel certain I am voicing
the opinion of the ground men when I
say the fair could never have been the
success it was Without the guiding
hands of Dr. .Spencer and Mr. Cald
well.” •

Jacksonville, Fla., Octi 19. — OP) —
Clyde Line officials today were bend
ing every effort toward finding some
trace of William J. Lawler, Win
throp. Mass., contractor who is the
only person missing in the near-dis
aster which- resulted in the destruc
tion by firq of the steamship (."om
anche off Mayport Saturday night.
Early reports, which said ten per
sons were-missing, were ascribed to
■ the confusion in taking the passeng

burning ship. . In this confusion sev
eral persons were thrown into the
water and on being rescued some were
placed aboard the Texas Company oil
tanker. Reaper, and others on the

private homes at the little seaport, and
others going to hispitals and hotels in
Jacksonville.
" ' All day yesterday officials were busy
checking their lists with the result
that now only the fate of Lawler re
mains to be settled. Advices from
Mayport say that a close watch is be
ing kept on the beach for his body
being washed ashore in case he was
drowned.
Ten persons were injured, some of
them seriously, their injuries having
been received mostly when a life boat
was crushed between the burning ves
sel and (he Reaper while a heavy sea
was rolling. Others were hurt when
another life boat spilled them into the
sea when one end was lowered away
too rapidly.

Church Adds Hours to
Working Day.
MANY MATTERS i
TO BE SETTLED
And a New Schedule of
Work Adopted So As to
Clear the Convention
Calendar. !
New Orleans. Oct. 19.— (A) —Be-
ginning its financial work, the gener
al convention of the Protestant Epis
copal Church today inaugurated a
series of extended sessions to dispose
of the aeeumulation of vital limiters
demanding the attention of the bish
ops and deputies. Additional hours
were added to the working day of the
church men, with a suggestion of ex
tra sessions later in the week if ex
pected progress fails to materialize!
The House of Deputies lias spent
many hours in studying proposed
changes recommended by the last
general convention. The Bishops,
too, have devoted a part of each day’s
session to the prayer book and this
phase of convention's work is said by' -
members to be satisfactorily advanc
ed. /
The Bishops were prepared today to
convene in executive session before
adjournment probably in the late af
ternoon for consideration of a trien
nial pastoral letter. At each convenr
tion a letter is prepared for dispatch
to the churches. This was l-egafded
as one of the most important respon
sibilities of the Bishops.
Consideration of the budget was to
the forefront on the program of the
House of Deputies. Wide interest
has followed this detail, with every
branch of the church's work vitally,
interested in the final action to be
taken by the convention.
