Great Albemarle District Fair Opens Toda

Everything In Readiness
For Mammoth Exposition
Embracing Ten Counties
yinguard of Visiting Thousand? Pour in l>y Automo
bile, Train, and Boat for Opening Event? of Sec
t ion's Greatest Display of Agricultural, Industrial
and Home Products. *
With, the dawn of a day idylically clear and cool, pros
pect? were brighter than ever today for the Great Albemarle
District Pair, which was ushered into existence in fortnal
fashion this morning with a grand parade through the busi
district at 11 o'clock.
i ne vanguara 01 a nosi oi<
?iaJtors from all parts of the
Albemarle district rolled int?
?town by automobile, train
and boat early today, along
with.others from outaide these
ten Northeastern " Carolina
counties.
Yesterday wan spent In Intens
ive preparation for the event, and
the finishing touches on the be-!
"fclMtorfag array of exhibits in tha |
hails at the Fair Grounds were!
b^ng put on this morning. Hun-i
dreds were busily engaged In the
multitude of tasks incident to put
ting all to readiness for the open
log of the J>lg exposition. The fair
will continue for alx days, closing,
Saturday night.
In tho Agricultural Hall, the
women were predominant. Thfy
were doing most of the work, as
sisted by a few half hearted mem
bers of the so-called sterner sex?
and they were making a good job
of the business of arranging in
?tastefully attractive fashion a mul
titude of county, community and
individual exhibits displaying (he
diversity of resources of the Albe
?arle section.
A Scene of Activity
Strolling about the grounds In'
more or lows aimless fashion, the
newspaper man with nothing much
to do except write about what
was going on found himself con
tinually getting In the way of busv
workers?and being summarily
Jostled out of the path of impend
ing achievement. The spectacle of
a woman driving taekn lato a pine
board, with the evident?If mis
guided?Intention of attaching a
strip of paper to the board, fas
cinated him. It ^^as an even
break, when she swung, whether
she would hit the tack, the board,
or a thumb and forefinger that
she daringly held within the range
Of the barrage, to keep the taci?
In place. Her surplus supply of
tacks was parked In her tnouth.
She was Indulging In animated
conversation with another lady
?ear her. All of which prompted
the observing one to speculate oi
the probable number of tacks
which went the wrong way. in a
manner of speaking. But enough
of that. 8he was still hammering
away when he departed. ?
The llvostock building wan
crowded from one capacious en
trancoway to the other. There
ware purebred horses. csttle,
mules, calves, colts and their Mk.
with pedigrees as long, probably,
as that of the EAgllsh royal fam
ily. And perhapa as illustrious.
It Is such a livestock es^lblt as
?ever before has been gathered

Motion Offered by Council
man Davi? for Employ

to Receive Second
Revival of the Often raised ques
tion of whether Elisabeth City ha h
adequate police protection, and a
general discussion of the aubject,
with moat of the Councllnten
agreeln* that a larger police force
waa needed, though the city
couldn't afford to put on additiou
at men at thla time, helped mesa
urably to enljven the tedium of a
Council seSgton last night that
threatened (line apd again to drat,
wearily.
Midway of the dlacuaalon.
Councilman pavl* offered a mo
tion for the employment of "an
additional police," but the motion
failed to receive a second, and
died almoat before It waa born.
The queatlon came op through a
statement by Mayor M?Cabe that
the Police Commission, of which
he la ex officio a member, *had
been Investigating mm allegation
that a member of the fdrce had
gone to Camden Cotfctr nne night
recently to assist Deputy Sheriff
Seymour in hunting down liquor
law violators. ??
The Police Commit? it i>
peared, hadn't got far with the In
vestigation. It had been unable to
determine whether the officer In
question had gone to Camden
whllrf the waa off duty, or not. In
fact, there was cqnolderabie un
certainty sa to Just <when the of
ficer went. Member* of the Coun
cil expressed themselves as strong
ly opposed to having Elixsbeth
City policemen spending their
thne in helping Csmden County
officera to enforce the prohibition
.law.
It was explained during the dla-i
ruasion that the city charter atlpu
latea that no policeman shall go |
outside the city. In the line of
duty, except by Instruction from
the city msnager or the chief of
police.
Msyor McCabe expressed tho
opinion that the city ahould main-'
tabi mor*> thorough day and night
police protection. He urged thst
an officer be stationed at police
headquarter* at all hour*, and
that the city have a dsy sergeant
snd a night sergeant, together
with s police blotter, on which
all complslnts should be record
ed. He told of receiving frequent
complslnts ^from resident* that
they were unable to locate so of
ficer.
Chief of Police Holme*, who
had been sn Interested listener
throughout the discussion, here
Interpoaed with a statement that,
people who msde complaint* ua
usllv Iscked sufficient grounds for <
the iasuance of a warrant, and |
thst. generally speaking, thel*
complslnts were not worth s pica
yune.
Mayor McCabe then urged that
the Council co-operate with th-|
chief by giving him at leaat two |
more men. Councilman Hughe?
aaid he felt that the elty had
enongh policemen already. Coun-1
oilman Anderson took Issue with!
him on thst, declaring Ellxabetri
City hsd only half'a? many ss oth
er town* of'the same siae.
"I never see a policeman in
PettRmouth," Councilman Kramer I
remarked at thla Juncture. "Don't
they have any there)"
"Juat try apeeditffe through j
there.'' Councilman E. J. Cohoon I
suggested. "You'll find one.'
The mayor then painted a dl?-|
tresalng picture of unprotected
womanhood ansstled In- the dsn;
hour* of the night, snd unsble to

the crime wave which waa swsep- j
Ing other cities eventuslly would !

adopt protective measure In gd
vance of It. Chief Holme? agre* I i
that ihr time waa eomlng whon

predicting thst good roads would 1
