The experience gained by those who worked to make the show a success hist year, has been most valuable in promoting the interest of the proposi tion this season to make it a larger and better fair. The committees that have been most active recently have been those in charge of finance and advertising. Other committees are getting in line for their work and will be in a position to announce some of the different features being arranged to-- the show in the next few days. The Finance Committee of the Corn how has been actively engaged this week in securing subscriptions to the underwriting plan. The committee has been exceedingly fortunate in its work, for the people, are giving the proposition liberal support.

Mr, Morrison is an able preach er of New HanoVer's religion and he may be able, to convince a few that are on the fence that it is for the best interest of a)l concerned to vote the Democratic ticket At any rate what the.

Mr. Morrison will be introduced by Mr. Thomas W. pavisjuid it is pos sible that one or two local Democrats may speak for aCfew minutes. How ever, the evening will be given over to Mr. Morrison and those who turn out will hardly regret it. Mr. J. W.

ENGINEERS WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY Authoritive Letters Says Wil mington and Charlotte Co. Will Parade Here. It is learned from good authority that Company A, Wilmington Engi neer Troops, with Company B. of Charlotte, now at Camp Glenn, will entrain Wednesday morning for Texas to join the North Carolina brigade ;i initial show.' The full value of the j now doing patrol duty on the Mexican corn Show was-not appreciated until j border. Word to this effect was re- la ?t year and its splendid success Jft- ceived in the city yesterday by the tested the full measure of co-operative t parents of one of the members of effort for community betterment. Not more than half of the business public lias-been seen in regard to this prop osition and the work of the commit- Company A, who is in close touch with tHe'brnbraf affairs of the com pany. It was stated in the letter that it tM will be continued through this ; has been definitely decided to have week. The success so far has meas ured up to the expectations and prac tically assures the show thisyear. The many attractive features be- the companies come through Wil mington and remain here long enough to permit a parade through the prin ciple streets in order to let the home ing arranged tor the Corn Show will 1 folks see the wonderful improvement make a gala week for a fact this year, j that has been made in the company It is really the most significant event ! of young men who left the city several of the season for Wilmington, and there is more general interest this year than ever before, as evidenced from the fact that the Corn Show Ex ecutive Committer has received a let ter from the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce, stating that there will be ft good delegation from that city to attend the fair here. "We realize the good work that is being done along agricultural linesthrough your Corn Show each year," is one sentence that appears in the communication from the city of tfie upper Cape Fear, which is welded to the interest of Wilming ton in more than one way. Reports from the counties interested in the fair are very encriuraging and the prospects for a large attendance of outsiders are increasing daily with the approach" of the fair. The advertising campaign to attract interest for the Corn Show has been on in earnest for the past two weeks and over 11,000 pieces of literature have already been distributed over the large territory. This includes the prize list books and general literature railing attention to the different fea tures arranged for this season. In addition to the direct work of the Corri Show Advertising Committee the rail roads are co-operating to the fullest end will see that the people are ac quainted with the extraordinary re duction in rates which more than takes in the actual territory of the show. Every county paper in the nine counties will contain a quarter-page advertisement and a write-up of the Corn Show in their regular editions this week. Every picture show in the territory, as well as Goldsboro, Fay etteville, etc., are running attractive slides, calling particular attention to the fact that the show will be bigger and better this, year and that it is heing conducted in the interest of their county and section as well as the immediate territory adjacent to Wilmington, Literature was mailed out last week to every postoffiee in 'he nine counties and many, other nieans for general distribution are be ng employed. The show this year will be far more extensively advertis ed than ever before and as this work was given a much better start this year there seems to be no question now about an unusually large attend ance. . The promoters of the Corn Show have been particularly fortunate in 'he selection of the dates of the fair As one of the enthusiastic boosters f the fair remarked yesterday, "John Hobinson's Ten Big Shows will bring 'he crowd to Wilmington the day be- weeks ago, and many who prior to that time had never had a gun in their hands. - In Company A there are about 70 men ?nd about the same number in the Charlotte organization. The whole will be in command of Capt George W. Gillette, of this city, who is the commanding officer of the Wil mington company and senior officer of the two units. It was mainly through his efforts that permission was secured whereby the companies could stop here for a review. Although the Charlotte company has only had guns for a few days, they did not lack drilling as practically every day has been spent In hard drilling and when they did receive their rifles a short while ago they were in excellent shape. Not only have; the members of the two companies received heavy woolen uniforms for the winter, but they have also been supplied with army over coats and sweaters and they are now ready for field work in the severest weather. The boys are in high spir its and are particularly anxious to join the other Tar Heel troops, which have been on the border for some time. While no announcement has been made to that effect, it is highly prob able that when the soldier boys arrive here Wednesday afternoon they will be tendered some sort of , a reception bv their friends. Such has been men tioned by well known citizens and plans -probably will be made to enter tain them while they, are here. According to the present plans the two companies will entrain at Camp Glenn early Wednesday morning and Wilmington about 2 o'clock. mm icavu , , D it m.i, , . .-ll v, nmnflnallv - all K XiailiaX wirn rnpni will uc uiouwvuriij c. - equipment that is usually carried by Engineer troops in the field, full equip ment having been issued, to them some time ago. When Company A returns from the border it will retain all its equipment in its armory here. THE WILMINGTON DjSPATgH, SUNDAYS MORNING, OCTOBER J5 1916. SECOND TON IS IN POSITION ON ROLL Of HONOR Winston-Salem Contributes Almost Half As Much As ' The Entire State. MANY COMMITTEES NOT YET HEARD FROM State Has Already Contribut ed Over $25,000 in Behalf of Woodrow Wilson's Candidacy. Twenty-five thousand five hundred and fifteen dollars and seventy-five cents had been paid to Mr. Hugh Mc Rae, of this city, treasurer of the state Democratic Executive Committee, on the night of ' October 12th, by loyal Democrats to be used in behalf of Woodrpw Wilson's re-election. Mr. MacRae has dispatched this money to National headquarters and the con tributors are to receive receipts for their contributions to the Wilson Marshall campaign fund. ' There are a number of committees that have not yet reported and these are designated by such a mark as this The committee that have reported are credited with the amount turned in up until October 13th. In several instances no counties have reported. This is true of Hen derson, Hertford, Brunswick, Jackson, Hoke, Dare and others, but these counties, or many of them, will give toward advertising Mr. Wilson's cam paign and when they have "cashed in" the fund will have grown to princely proportions. Forsyth county tops the list of hon or, Winston-Salem having contributed over $ll,00q or almost half of the amount given by the entire State. ' Wilmington occupies second place,' having given over $3,000, while Wake and Guilford have contributed slight ly above the $1,000 mark. The following figures represent the money that has passed through Mr. MacRae's hands up until October 13th and which were issued for publication j this morning. Anyone interested inj politics generally and Democracy in particular can get a pleasant hour out ! of the figures which represent the ac- j tivities of richand poor, layman and, professional, the State over all work- i ing with one end in view: the return j of Woodrow Wilson to the White 1 House. j Alamance county Graham, Bur-! lington, $10.
