The State fair was pull ed out of the mud. so to speak, by Chambliss,- after the Stat ehad lost thousands of dollars in its operation. The fair at Raleigh is leased to Cham-, bliss and George A. Hamid, the latter being in the outdoor attraction busi ness in New York. The North Caro- ] lina Board of Agriculture, of which Mr. J. G. Staton is a member, leased the State fair to Chambliss and Ham id. j In an interview this week, Mr. Chambliss said, "Yes, 1 have leased the fair at Wiliamston. It is one of the best spots in North Carolina for j n agricultural fair, and 1 am going to stress agriculture. I have already con , ferred with the Martin County home demonstration agent and others. Mr. Hamrd is associated with me, and that . means that VYilliamston will have a great array of attractions. We are! planning to revive horse racing at Williamston, and we are going to be as liberal as we possibly can in our offers for agricultural exhibits, which is our first thought." "While I expect to give the Roa noke fair a great deal of my personal attention, I will, of coursefi name a resident manager in the near future We propose to make extensive im provements on the grounds. 1 am confident the people of this section will gladly cooperate with us in mak ing the fair the greatest in Eastern North Carolina. There will be no robbers and thieves on the midway? nothing hut clean and legitimate con cessions," Mr. Chambliss said. It is interesting to note that Mr. Chambliss, a young banker of Rocky Mount, is also successfully operating the fairg. at Greensboro and Rocky Mount, and his entry into this section in the fair business will, no doubt, be I met with unusual response and co-' operation. Mr. Chambliss stated that he will give further anouncements shortly in connection with holding the fair here this coming fall.
