J. W. NOELL, EDITOR AN1 VOL. No. XLI THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL FAIB ! THE BEST FREE ATTRACTIONS n EVER SHOWN , w Five Days, the Last In the Interest n of the Colored People. Oct. n 7th to 11th. | According to the officers of the ? Person County Fair Association plar.s a for the holding of the eleventh annual p fair of the Association are being rap- f, idly completed and everything points ? to having a real, genuine fair on the ? Fair dates, which are Oct. 7th to 11th. g( Heretofore the fair "has lasted only a ? . four days, but this year the "manage- ^ ^ raent is adding one day to the pro- f ' gram. The last day will be in the in- t( terest of and for the beneAt of the ol colored people, and the officers of the -p association are hoping to secure the ^ cooperation of the colored folks in p. makng the fair by far the best one in its history. . Tliarn OM> sa?aMI ?l-!-L 1-- -i ? -?? mv vsTcim tatwrs waicn iean ^ the fair officials to believe that Parson u County'a fair is going to equal the best this year. First of ail crop conditions are splendid and therefore S1 splendid agricultural exhibits should be on display. Hie premum list has P been materially expanded and increased as an inducement to exhibitors. It is especially hoped that all the high ? schools of the county will make ex- ^ hibits, and the prospects are that several of these schools will see fit to co- W operate, and thereby aid in lending truth to the slogan of the Fair Asso-| ciation, "Glorifying the product of the Person County Farm." | While effort is being made to secure a record turnout of farm exhibits,. ev-j ery effort has been made to secure amusements that will amuse. The midway attractions will be furnished ' ' this year by Miller Bros. Shows, which is by far the largest organization ever playing at the local fair. This organisation carries with it no less ? than fifteen shows and five rides, in- p' eluding the caterpillar and a new 1 ride, the chair planes. It is believed * by the fair officers that even the most '' fastidious will enjoy some of the shows carried by Miller Bros. Shows, and assurance is given that as always ]c nothing offensive will be allowed on1 the midway. "j The pride of the fair officers is the line of free acts that is being offered this year. They boast that no fair in' the state will have better ones. Five ? separate free acta, will give a pro- " gram of an hour and fifteen minutes w both day and night and at night fire- pt works will be added to the day free program. Roy D. Smith's Ferris w Wheel girls, in distinctly, novel acts,1 compose the feature of this program. ? Patrons may judge the excellence of! this company when they are informed; that they play the Lynchburg fair. Bk before coming here and that they are e< V playing the Winston-Salem fair this ^ year for the third consecutive time. Attendants of the fair will witness a ? * $3,000 program of free acts twice N daily, and everything wil be enliven- T ed by plenty of band music.

(Published by Request) As the reader may have gathered from this series of articles, financial ( oss and often actual disaster com* pooner or later to the American turner who has allied himself with the Sapiro Plan of co-operative marketng. Except in such infrequent exam >les as that of the Colorado potato [rowers, who served themselves, and he Oregon hop-growers, who were escued by their non-co-operative folow-growers, the stories of the associations which have been based on the ilan devised, introduced and imposed in the agriculturists by Aaron Supiro, ire uniformly disastrous to the non'ewish member. The methods, of orranization and operation are virtualy the same in principle, though someimes camouflaged as to external ap>earances, in all the associations, rhese principles are fundamentally insound because they are based on lermanent price-fixing in defiance of he demands of the consumers, and ecause the associations are controllid and directed by men who in the najority of cases know nothing of he production of the particular agriultural product which they pretend o sell. But tbo particular operations by vljich the farmers within these assoiations fail to reclive the pay for heir labor differ with the different' iroducts which these organizations! ire supposed to market. It has been j ihown that the method applied to the California prune-growers was a com ination of barefaced robbery and of ncompetence. It has been told rather ilainly in the story of the wheats rrowers of the Pacific Northwest that f gnorance of wheat-growing, wheat' Itstribu tion and wheat marketing vere responsible for the losses andi failures. With the potato-growers of! Colorado, it was trickery, thwarted I ly four Americans, which brought' hese agriculturists to, the verge of I uin. In all these associations there I s added to these factors of failure I he tremendous operating costs whichI iapiro, Rubinow and the rest of the1 'ewish ring impose on the farmer. It s stated here as a fact that there lever has been a Sapiro Plan co-op-i rative marketing association in, vhich the cost of collection, distribu-j ion and sale of the farmers' product j vas not, and is not, higher than the sme costs outside these associations, i large part of this overhead goes to he originators and promoters of the cheme; the larger part, however, ;oes in the form of salaries to the ometimes misguided, often dishonest, ,nd not infrequently ignorant, "Gehile fronts,"'who, in executive offices] n these associations, maintain the ews in positions of control over the armer. The Sapiro method of dominating , co-operative marketing association s by ataching to himself at excessivey high salaries Gentiles whose nomin.1 "leadership" of such an association vill keep Sapiro and others of his ;ind in possession of control of the rganization's affairs. Sapiro uses othr methods to bind men to him, as well .8 financial reward, but the writer j could prefer for the moment to leave] hese to another time. In following lis method of rewarding the faithful lentile until such time as that Gentile s of no further use to him, Sapiro nakes the farmer pay the bills. Neither tne Sapiro brothers, Baruch, .asker, the Fleishhacker brothers, iteen, Rubinow, nar any of the other irighter or dimmer lights ever put heir hands in their pockets to pay ltaie P^.HIa UA?..L ...I I ?icn V.IVHVUV iitrui iiuitrii a cent vuv hey permit these Gentiles to put heir hands in the farmers' pockets ind pull them out full of money. In no one of the uniform failures f Sapiro Plan co-operative marketng associations throughout this counry has this high cost of Gentile fonts for Jewish exploiters of the tmerican farmer been fore artfully,! ir more expensively, carried out than ( nmne the tohacrn nroililcers of Ken-, uefcy.

M., there was an unusujl sight presented in the heavens. There ' were two rings around the sun, and every one was looking at the phenomenon, no one having ever witnessed ~ the like before. The Durham Herald in commenting on same sight says: I; The thousands of Durham people ~ who developed cricks in their necks from peering skyward about noon Saturday were of the opinion that af- ] t?r all there must be "something new under the sun." | For really and truly there was ( something new there; at least no one in this section could successfully rack | their brains and say, "why I remem- , ber when, etc." and recite an incident ( when a similar atmospheric phenom- ( enon was visible in the noonday firm- , ament. 1 j Three gigantic rainbows, or ntore. correctly, rain-circles, perfectly form-! ed and delicately tinted took positions , of outstanding prominence around the , utm, and Interesting each other with i two semi-circles, completed a heaven-' j ly phenomenon rarely, if ever seen in' ] this clime. I ( The phenomenon was purely local,] it is believed, and was visible prob-, ably only in this and immediate neigh- j boring counties. Atmospheric condi-, tions of the earth and not of astron-[ omicai influences caused tne ueautuul , circles, is the opinion of Dr. K. D. | Patterson, professor of astronomy at Trinity college. The Trinity professor' declared it was one of the rarest sights' he has ever witnessed in the sky, in as much as the earth's influence were concerned. He gave no credence in the I opinion of some that the present proximity of Mars was responsible of the1 phenomenon.
