This ! band was given a rousing cheer- I ing and when it began it serenad ed by playing "The Sidewalks of New York." the strains of the song being lost in the wild shout ing of the waiting crowd. High up somewhere in the crowd, a man with a big husky voice shouted out: “It won’t he long now." And he wa« right. The van guard of the big parade was al ready pouring into the crowded building and then came the famous reiby hat aloft and wavering and behind it came the famous smiling face of A1 himself. For ten min utes the great multitude stood u|> and shouted its greeting of wel come to the man it had come forth to honor.

State Fair Will Be Great Event Opens Ocl. 22 in Its Fine New l’Jiint: Wide Variety of K\ • mints ant! Amusements n | ' I.KKiit. Of. I |. Th,. ap I ]aching North Carolina State V ■ lie re gives opportunity for expi. .-.sing the . , f North (Carthna in an impressive manner | ar.tl for impressing on other states I tin* true greatness of this com n'oF,\\ caltli, according to the opin ii expressed by Governor A. W. N l.t-nn to officials of the fair. The fair, which opens Monday, (.'etoher 22, and continues through to- entire week in the fine new p'nnt provided by the State Gov c ’uot i i. will be by far the great ' 'cnt of its kind ever held in ' t -te, said W. S. Move, the ry and manager. The tre is number of exhibit* al r<: !y gives assurance that the fair will attain in its first show oig a place of high importance am- ng the means of educating the ri sider.ts of this and other states concerning the diversity, abundance end puality of North Carolina P* uuet>. Request •; are coming in j:ii 1 y tor entry blanks, this is es pecially true as to the winners in many of the county fairs. Alin- st unlimited evidences of cooperation by the public in the preparations for this fair, which will bo housed in a plant provided by the state government at a cost of more than $200,000. are rega.ded .by fair officials as proof of the wisdom t.f the legislature which created this institution, and of a record attendance, it was said by fair •officials. The fair officials have mu confined their efforts, however, to the preparation of a place for shewing the exhibits and to ea-j souraging the entering of exhibits. A great expense is incurred in ar ranging for a wide variety of amusements, races, and various >ther contests, all for the pur pose of encouraging attendance. i 1 hat activity was part of the great task of making the fair an ‘exposition that will he both edu I rational and entertaining.” The I program of horse races is one ol he fair’s most important offerings , -f interest to the public. A series ' f automobile races on the open ing and closing days of the fair ; expected to attract tremendous gatherings of persons who do not •fton have an opportunity to see la ring drivers in action. Incidcn ''a! to the fair’s program are a horse show, fireworks, cattle show, -wine show, sheep show, poultry how, and exibitions ami demen ti at ions of farm machinery. A particular effort, because of the educational va.lue, is being made to arouse the interest of the members of the boys’ and girl,-/ dubs in the fair. They will have many exhibits which will have a tiong influence for the improve ment in agricultural conditions in North Carolina. With the view if providing the it mi st of service to stock raisers, he fair managemeat has decided "> held a Jivestick auction, with he cooperation of the Division of Markets of the North Carolina De ; aitircn; of Agriculture. Recall?e of the great crowds of he leading people who will attend ■he fair, Raleigh society has plan t'd for many entertainments and hi illiant social events. The state’s hading citizens will, he in attend rr.ee at all of these events while at the fair. . All of the railways have offered reduced fares during the fair and will operate on excursion rates for ne day. The state’s good mads make it possible for those driving • heir own ears to attend one day's events and return luuno the same day if they are within 100 to 200 mih s, and from all parts of the .fate they can attend the fair with little loss of time from home. All school children in the state are urged to attend and it is be lieved by the officials that this will be a worthwhile educational event for them. To I'reach at Elizabeth. Rev. I). C.

Political Campaign 1 .Miss Mary Henderson Ad 1 dresses Johnston County Women At Courthouse Here; Is Well Received Abcut seventy-five women were ■ present in the commissioners room (of the courthouse Tuesday after 1 noon to hear Miss Mary Hender ; son, of Salisbury, vice chairman , of the state democratic executive . committee, discuss Governor Al fred E. Smith, democratic candi date for President. Mrs. L. D. pebnam, of Selma, county chair jnian of the woman's committee, introduced Miss Henderson. *viis* Henderson told of her per sonal knowledge of Governor Smith, statmg that she had visit i ed New York a number of times in the past few years, and knew ) how he was regarded in the em pire state. She told of a visit that she recently made to Governor Smith in Albany, and described ; the great natural dignity which characterizes the Presidential nom inee. Miss Henderson stated that i in l'J24 she was not for Smith but was for Davis because she thought he was not nationally known. Since then he has been I Governor of New York for four years and she thinks the re-organ , ization of the government of New , York is only typical of what he would do as president of the Unit ■ ed States. Miss Henderson discussed the three main objections which have been made to the candidacy of Governor Smith. She spoke of his religion and remarked that she was glad that he has enough re ligion for us to know it and to talk about it. She cited the fact that | the Constitution says there must l)e no religious test and at this ) point quoted Washington and Jef ] ferson as to their ideas of relig I i< us liberty. As to prohibition she j stated that local self government j is Smith’s belief in regard to pro j hibition. She called attention to the fact that Wilson is idolized and I yet' he voted the Volstead act. She endeavored to stamp out scurrilous • reports that have been circulated in North Carolina concerning Gov ernor Smith, and read a letter | from Mrs. Peter Gerry denying the j report of drunkenness when Gov ernor Smith was in Salisbury. Re garding Tammany Hall she cited the machine of Big Bill Thompson of Chicago as an organization of the republicans as bad as Tammany lias been declared to be- She stat j ed that the republican party has j had a singularly consistent record of scandal after each great war. Miss Henderson thinks that oppo sition to Smith because of his con nection with Tammany Hall is a I confession of willful ignorance. These present gave Miss Hen derson close attention, showing that the women were interested in the topic which she was discussing. At the conclusion of the speech, pamphlets concerning Governor j Smith were handed out by Mrs TO SPEAK AT MICRO T()MORRO\V A FTERNOON Hon. Paul D. Grady, J. Dobbin , Hailey and Judge \Y. P.
