Tribune Raleigh Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 27. —Now is the time for farmers to ship their hogs to mar ket if they expect to command the best prices, according to the livestock division of the Bureau of Markets, State Department of Agriculture. Why? Because it is the mid-season be tween the western early and late hog shipping seasons. North Carolina hog raisers have been advised for several years to raise their pigs as early as possible, so that they could get them on the mar ket in July and August, thereby get ting better prices, since the hogs from the western states are not ready for market until later, due to the short er seasons. “In this state, it is possible to far row the sows almost any time during the winter with little dauger of loss, if only ordinary precautions are tak en. And the earlier the better, thus enabling the farmers to market their ■ sirring pigs before the western pigs are put on the market,” said V. W. Lewis of the division of markets. “Many farmers have been following this advice and are showing handsome profits as a result. The State Department of Agricul ture is ready at all times to assist the farmers from any section of the Sate not only in marketing their produce, especially livestock, but also in im proving their stock as well, so that they may increase their profits.

MORRISON LUMBER COMPANY The Concord Dally Tribune i _ - t ■ North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily Announce Features For Next Big Fair In October (Officials of Fair Have Obtained Best Features For Next Cabarrus County Fair Which Will Begin October 12th and Continue Five Days. v Officials of the Cabarrus County .Fair Association, with several success ful seasons to their credit, have lined 1 up what they bel'eve are the best | attractions obtainable for the 11)26 fair and Harvest Festival which will 1 be held October 12, 13. 14, 15 and 16. It is announced by Dr. T. N. Spen- j eer, secretary and manager, that ev- i ery feature of the program has been arranged and when the new stalls now under c-onetruetion are completed, he will be be ready for the opening of the gates on the morning of the twelfth. Included in the program are the free acts, band concerts, horse races, Midway shows and exhibits of all kinds. While the program will of ne cessity follow along the lines of the , programs of other years, th's year's } will be more ambitious than anything undertaken here in the past. Officials of the fair this year have laid special emphasis on the livestock exhibits and their work has been so successful that additions are to be built to the hog and cattle barns be fore the opening date. Last year so much livestock was exlrbited that it had to be crowded and with assur ances already thjft the number will be larger this year, plans to take care of the overflow have been made. It is predicted by officials that the hog show at the local fair will be the , biggest in this part of the State. The Piuehurst fair will not be held this year, it is pointed out. and as Cabarrus Fn ! r hog show ranked second only to this one, it is safe, officials think, to predict the biggest hog show in the State for the local fair. As has been thcjcase in the past, no outside exhibitors will be allowed to enter their livestock. The Cabarrus Fair is for Cabarrus people, not for professional exhibitors, who will be outlawed as in the past. Dp. Spencer already has received letters from va rious exhibitors who want to bring their stock here for a certain guarantee, and his answer has been the same to all. Cabarrus people and those in nearby counties who produce their own stuff are the ones who will be eligible for premium money. The Bernard!

Liverpool, Wall Street and commis sion houses ail had cotton for sale in the early market, and aside from the uncertainty connected with the tropical storm which still seems to be threatening the Florida coast both weather and crop news appeared to be less bullish than it was yesterday. After the opening Will Street was a good buyer, but secured its cotton easily and the market dropped off to 17.65 for October and l/.59 for Jan uary or 15 to 20 points below the previous close. Cotton futures opened easy: Octo ber 17.70; December 17.60; January 17.02; March 17.79; May 17.95.

Mexico City, July 27.—A1l relig ious services An Catheiic churches throughout 'Mexico requiring the of fice of priests will be suspended" after | July 31 by order of the Catholic episcopate, winch has addressed a pastoral letter to the Catholics of Mexico. The letter, which is signed by the archbishop of -Mexico, the most Rev. Moray del Rio, the seven other arch bishops and 29 bishops, protests against the new religious regulations promulgated by the Mexican govern ment, and proclaims the various penalties which may be imposed against those of the Catholic new law's or in any way aid in putting them into effect. Among these penalties is ex-com munication ofthose who issue laws, regulations or decrees against the rights ami liberty of the church, those who prevent the exercise of religions jursdiction, and those who usurp ecclesiastic property. The letter, therefore, implies that President ('alien and all officials of the government responsible for is suing or enforcing the regulations may be ex-communicated. It is declared by tilts episcopate, in protesting against the ggovern mental decree, that work will bo carried on for amendment of this de cree and tiie anti-religious provisions of the constitution, and that the clergy will not desist from their pur pose until it is attained. The letter was issued in agree ment with the expressed views of Pope Pius XI. who in his last apos tolic letter spoke of the iniquity of the decrees and laws sanctioned by the Mexican authorities against Catholics in Mexico. While re'igious services will cease in all Catholic churches and all priests will be withdrawn, the church buildings will remain open for wor shipers. The letter expresses con i fidence that the churches will be pro ! tected by the worshipers, and ex horts all Catholics tg remain loyal to • their religion. It perdicts that after the persecutions the Catholic church in Mexico will emerge with greater strength and glory than before. Revival of Horeshoe Pitching.
