"I was JuBt back from the State Fair at Raleigh," said Register of Deeds J, W. Munden, upon bis re turn to the cit, and I want to Bay that in quality every exhibit that I; saw compared most favbrably with those at the stte capital. There were a few exhibits at this smoll community fair that were ahead of anything I saw In their class at the big event "at Raleigh." To those who think that as a . home man Mr. Munden is not an unprejudiced witness, the Judgment of . the experts who were here from the State Department of Agriculture to Judge the products may have more weight. Doth of these men de clared that the exhibits were credi table indeed, and that had some of them been put on exhibit at the State Fair would undoubtedly have been premium taker' The corn ex hibts were spoken of in especially high terms and as sure premium winners at a bigger fajr, the soy hem exhibits were of a h gh order, and the sweet potatoes especially Revoked high praise. Not less tn Vthusiastic were the commendations of the live stock exhibits, the Ra leigh experts belli,; especially fav orably impressed w th the x line exliILiiS of horse and mule colts and giving these fir.-.t mention. How ever, there were single exhibits of other live stock that measured up to these an 18 month old Duroc Jerse y boar . that1 tipped the scales ,at 389 pjunds for iiibtrnce. WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT The Women's Department of the Fair was anvnged under 'ho direc tion of Mrs. H..l!ie liorncr and Miss Lizie Winslow, practically all of the ladies of the two communi ties assisting in the work. On the day before the Fair these ladies assembled at "rhe-wlHiolhouse .nd began the work of decorating the build rig anj arranging " the ex hibits. Wild flowers, ivy, bamboo, autumn leaves in abundance formed a most appropri !tc harvest ttmo FCttin -for-t hfr- exhb i; of - jlowurs, fruits, broads, cakes, canned goods, W'es, hams, fancy woik a id paiuf lii?. The women of the two communi ties had contributed generously to the exhibits, bulging in m:ny ut tractive di,-pl;.ys which made- an ex ec lit nt. i bowing lor the community though not strictly speaking, com 'ng under the ca'alogued classes , for prize-". Indeed, the ( immunities ,' S.d counted prizes ns but n second J hough in the Fair, or sorceily that, wcrkir.!? to.iether with n'l energy and enthusiasm for a representative showing of the honi" Industries or the two communities, tnd succeed Ing so ndtnlralily that visitors from town were siylng on every ' hand. unity Fair Exhibits II Can we buy these things?" Are they for sale'?? We want so much to have an opportunity to get 'fancy work of such exquisite quality and butter like this." Many of the men declared that they wanted to board in one of these communities, for these good things to eat could not De obtained in town.' Tbe Canning Club Girls demon strated the use of the tireless cook er, with the aid of the Home Dem onstrator, Miss Albertson,' showing how Juicy and tender beef comes to the tablCw when cooked by this method.' They also served bean salad which was so delictum that teveral dozen cans ' of the beans were ordered on be spot. The output of the Canning Clubs for this year has not yet been plac ed on the market, but it is believ ed th't with a similar demonstra tion by the girls here in the city the cinn d products w 11 sell' them helves without further effort. The Jelly of the Club girls also attracted especial attention. Miss Geneva Benton 'won the premium for the gesi ' and prettiest grape Jelly and Miss Si rah Harris for the finest aiple J:ily; Miss Ruby jeniiings got the first -prize for pre served figs, Miss Sarah Harris for canned beans, Miss Laura Dray the second prize fur canned beans.

SOUND NECK FAIR NOV. 9:h Vbi ors were, so pleased with the liiir WedncKday that they wer v.out to exclaim, "Wo'l, these must, be the banner communities of th county. It's too good to ho true tha the whole county can come up to this." . ' To wh'ch the Sound Neck folk n -piled, "Just come to our Commun It; F 'if on November !tth, and w" will show you. It Hn't the location of the community, or the natural a'' vantages. It's the folks working- to setlur. It's Community spirit, and we've got If, too.'' n,i so, It Is hoped thtu the pen- j (f the trwn and cnunty will Hughes and Hy George Creel - - - -i W.ll street 's unanimous in its supi.o.t cf Hoghes. The masters of millloni have given him the' larg est campa gn fund in history. The finance committee of the Hughes Aliiane? is tbe directory ot Pg Business, ,'ts wealth imprest nted by its members totals more than fourtetn billons. Tie who e organization of the House of Morgan has been turned orrr to the Republican committee. J. P. Morgan, -aeon, and Perkins, Satt?rlee, Lamont, Davidson, and even Anne Morn, herself, are on connn tiees. Tne Guggenhelms are working and. contributing. So are George F. Bak;r and Frank Vanderlip. Like wise the Harr'man interests, Stand ard Oil, the Williams for stoppiirg their usuries. Wall Street wants to come back. It wants its old control of the In terstate Commerce Commission so that railroad rates can be raised. It wants the repeal of tbe Federal Villa's Agents Across Border (By United Press) El Pjso, Oct 26 Emissaries of I'aneho V:l!a are believed to have been in this city conferring with members of a hew Mexican revolu tionary party. At least one Villlsta is known to have arrived on horseback crossing the Uio Grande lelow -Juarez, Unittd States secret' service men ; el eve that at this meting an a greern nt was male for the bandit le:der to command the field forces f the new movement, The object cf the new party, H Is declared, is the overthrow of Carranza. "i'rEi show the same Interest in the Sound Neck Fair that they display ed iir the Bayslde-Riverslde Fair, and it is piomised them that they wl.l by 'no means be disappointed. GOOD CROWD AND BIG DINNER High.'y successful from every standpoint -these are by no means extravagant terms in which to char aeterizi) the community fair held Wednesday at Epworth school ho;ise about two miles from the City The exhibits were of u high order complettly outclassing said many of Uiom' who r.uw them, those which wer-' put on exhibition at Kdenton l?.si week. Tbe crowd was a big one and a good humbled one. Many sa'd that th: lamicr folk were too busy it the.r twenty cent cotton to turn out t0 a neigbi orhood fair, but the -a---quot:'nk farmers and their wives and their daughters' showed the doubters that under such leadership as has. been supplied by tbe county agricultural agi-nt and the county home df rnons'.r .tor they can ho re lied upon" to rally to a movement for community uplift and commun ity progress. Not. on'y were the i'u m lies of th- immediate neighbor-hoi-il well repie '.enti-d. but' visitors Kit on bund from o-her townships '- .is far rto'.vn as S ilem. while l'rov iiience was well repr'-.iontrd.

One man took a peep into his box after Wall Street Reserve act so that it can control credit again, end it wants the re peal of the Rural Credits law, so bankers may resume their extor tions. It wants the repeal ot the Clayton anti-trust law, the repeat of the Child L:bor Law, it wants to wipe out the Federal Trade Com m s.-l:n tnd the Tariff Commirsin and the Salpp ng law. It Is tager for the o'.d moaopa ies, the Payne Aldrich law anj ship subsidies. It wants the crniy and the nary lor conquest In Mexico so that their concessions may treble in value. It wants to get rid of Lane and conservation of Daniels end govern mailt manufac;ure, of McAdoo tnd lega! Interest rates. Such support damns Hughes as co. ld rfoth ng clue. Wall street has never yet lought a pig In a poke. Before it givts its millions Wall ttrect knows exactly what It is going to get. A vote for Hughes is a vote for Wall street.

The Virginia iigre:tioii has walk ed off with the colors several times in recent years by Just a bare mar gin as the result of some fluke.
