Plans for the show are materializing rapidly. The mammoth horse shoe frame which is to be covered over with thousands and thousands of peaches, has been built and is now being decorated. Decorators are also at work on the whole exhibition building, and on the streets for blocks around. All of the public buildings of the city as well as many private business houses and homes will be gaily decorated in fes tive colors for the occasion. Besides the exhibition of peaches in the show building there will be shown orchard and farm machinery and sup plies, sprayers, etc., as well as other products. The state home demonstra tion forcers will be there to show how to prepare and preserve peaches and peach by-products, and the housewife .may get many helpful suggestions from this booth. Governor Cameron Morrison will officially open the show on Wednesday morning, July 30, at ten o’clock. Gov ernor MtrfcStm ' ftai' been invited'to speak on Thursday, and there will be a few others to make short talks, al though the speaking program is light. Entertainment will be the strong fea ture. The Fifth Field Artillery Band from Fort Bragg will furnish the music for the occaion. The band will be accompanied to Hamlet by General A. J. Bowley and his staff. Motor trips are being planned out through the peach orchards, so the visitors may have an opportunity to see the pickers and packers at work, and get an idea of how the crop is handled. The peach show management ex pects that last year’s attendance of ten thousand will be more than doubl ed this year, asthe railroad has offer ed the extremely low rate of one cent per mile, and all the roads leading to Hamlet are in fine shape for motor travel. SAYS CRIME IN STATE IS INCREASING FAST Wilmington, July 21.—Criminal of fenses are tremendously increasing in North Carolina, Judge W. A.

Judge Devin paid tribute to Judge Grady, who will ride this district for the next six months. He said judge Grady is an able, upright, im partial judge and held in high re gard wherever he sat in court He j also complimented the New Hanover officers; saying he knew of no county having more efficient of ficers and he also commended the New Hanover attorneys.

PIC-NIC ENJOYED The union pic-nic at Albermarle Beach yesterday was thoroughly enjoyed by all that attended. The Sunday schools of ah the churches came together some time ago and decided to hold their annual outing at Belhaven this year at the same time, but recent heavy rains have caused the roads to become almost im passable. Consequently the trip to Belhaven was called off and the pic-nic was held at Albe marle Beach. The weather was perfect, the roads were fair and nothing occured to mar the pleasures of the occasion. We hope to see another such affair, for great benefits result whenever organ izations of this nature get to gether for one purpose. STATE FAIR WILL t SHOW THE STATE JEaleigh, N.
