I'A KM DISPLAYS FEATURE (Continued from page one) Those who visited the “hot dog’’ stands after seeing the jam and jelly ,1, play may now go back and buy ,a) ;ipple for the horticulture exhibit is ji(,vt This exhibit was perhaps the enticing of all and crowning the boautiful display was a perfect col I,,,-tion of Niagara grapes entered by Hr K. W. Gibbs. So perfect in color, 1/• and cluster were the grapes that iy visitors thought them onlv a masterpiece of artificial imitation. The display included fruits and gar ,|H1 applies of all kinds, but the apple exhibits were outstanding. With eight varieties of IKK) apples each and 150 entries it was the best county apple l,1)W ever staged in the State. One exhibit being entered by Billy Wray, of Yancey. The corn exhibit, including 75 dif ferent displays, which is more than w;,.; shown at the State Fair last vettP was exceptional considering that it has been a poor corn season over the county. The entire space for this display was filled and the duality unusual. A fine showing, both in quality and variety, was made in the legume and : mall grain department. The potato booth was educational as well as attractive. The old way of keeping potatoes was contrasted with Tire modern- way, tfhich -isj:fispon.sihle for Cleveland, with 22,000 bushel stor :uro, being -considered' a leading po tato county. A miniature potato toraire house built by A. B. Putnam, of Kings Mountain, for the county aeent, was a part of the exhibit. Community Booths. The Boiling Springs community booth, third prize winner, displayed the best single feature of the entire fair in ati attractive miniature farm borne and farm. The modern little farm homo with every home conven ience and painted was set in the cen ter of a beautiful lawn with shrub bery. In the background was a mod ern barn, silo and pasture with cat tle and a fish pond. The miniature was so real as to almost make one vision a race of farmer dwarfs just progressive and modern as the peo ple of Ujjiveland. Grouped about the I ttle farm was everything that is ‘■e'en oil the farm. Displays of garden and field crops, home industry and a modern farm kitchen. Another unique idea was put over by the El Bethel booth which took second honors. Centering this exhibit was a farm trailer carrying to mar ket farm products of all kinds with scales and containers—the modern way the farmer has of securing the best prices for his product. Surround ing the trailer was a good display of farm and field crops and garden sup plies, together with three balanced farm meals, a modern kitchen, model potato house and soda crusher, and an attractive miniature fish pond. Union Booth Wins. A consolidated school, modern in every respect, was the center of the Union Community, which took first honors, and was one of the leading exhibits of the entire county show. The school lighted with electricity had its modern athletic field with equip ment, little miniature truck to trans port the children, and so arranged as to be a near perfect imitation of the real consolidated school. A placard with the miniature building inform ed nil passersby that “each day in the school is worth $9.” Another ex hibit was one that urged the pres ervation of timber in the county by thinning correctly. In another corner a radio set placed on several bales of hay advised farmers to get the radio weather report before cutting their hay ami to get the daily market re port ; over the radio. A model tractor pulled a plow in a miniature field, while on the opposite side eight live modern brooder house and chicken thicks chirped and strutted about a yard. This exhibit was by Campbell’s Poultry farm and attracted consider able attention. The remainder of the display was devoted to home indus try and field crops. Had a Cleveland farmer 0f 50 years ago visited the booth he would have thought it all a fantastic dream of some reformer’s imagination, but it was a typical sur vey of rural Cleveland as it is today. Mineral Exhibit. l nousands of fair visitors never l knew that there were valuable min p eruls in Cleveland county or that min had ever been carried on here and naturally the informing mineral ex hibit entered by North Smith and • om Fulton, of Kings Mountain, at tracted more than the usual atten tion. Minerals found in Cleveland that were on display included: gold ore magnetic iron, manganese ore, bary t(,R> yellow ocre, tin ore, gold, copper anil mica.'The display was made more attractive by a number of mining scenes. The flower booth, in which flowers from all sections of the county wca(* mitered, was a color spot that caught ilic eye from any section of the hall. | he booth displayed dahlias, beauti u cosmos, crested and plain, zen i“as' roses and nine varieties of ferns. attractive individual booth ^at of Beam Brothers Farm, of aco, which exhibited everything nil ;s produced on the farm. The ln"le display, which will induce mote next year, covered agriculture, u" .culture and home industry in Kood style. The Cottc.n Booth. «>tton is the major crop in Ckve aml county and naturally a cotton l ' " ,‘t would be a big attraction, l K‘ educational side of the booth • anged by the North Carolina Cot '!■ ,,rower> Association was the best le ^tir and the booth was fav ornhly commented upon by hundreds. I the first display was of two cotton bales, one handled properly and the i other improperly. One bale was left out in the weather and lost in weight, grade and prict. The oth<M. was stored and marketed the co operative way. In the center was two miniature farms, one the North Carolina farm of twenty wears ago, the other the modern Cleveland county farm of to day. The contrast was well carried out in the farm home, barn yards, garden, and method of storin'' cot ton. “His" Booth. County Agent Lawrence explained the work that has been accomplished through his direction in an exception al display. Centering the booth was j a telephone with lines running to the sections that portrayed each task ac i complished and told of every for | wa.rd steP- The story of a successful pamt campaign was told in a, model home with attractive lawn. Other pro jects put over and portrayed in the booth included: farm light program, ; count-v hoard of agriculture, milk campaign, forest work, modern poul try houses and labor-saving soda c ushers, and other devices. It was a great work displayed in magnificent form. The ability of Cleveland county armors to stage such a successful agricultural show was largely brought about through the efforts and toil of the county 'agent and although the bowth could r.r-ve.- feveat *?»• wondcr ful advancement of the county along , j agricultural lines, it told a story of progress that is hard to beat. Stone Ravors The Ports And Terminals ._ President of Farmers I’nion Thinks Plan \\ ill Lower Freight Hates And Benefit Farmers. Greensboro, Ckt. 20.—R. W. H.I Stone, president of the North Caro lina Farmers Union, has come out in; advocacy of the passage of the port: measure. In a statement to the farm-! crs of the state, Mr. Stone said: “I am for the proposition to enable this state to establish port terminals and to maintain water transportation, and also for the recovery- of the C. F. j and \. \. railroad. I believe these! measures are absolutely necessary to obtain fair and just freight rates fer North Carolina. I am a farmer. Our farmers do not realize that they pay! the freight coming and going. That our people are required'to pay unjust freight rates has been proved beyond doubt. This injustice affects the farm ers tere than any other class! it in- j creases the price of what they liuyl and decreases the price of what they sell. Amount to Milions. “It is estimated that we are paying ! more than $10,000,000 a year in un-1 just freights. Figures show beyond all: controversy that the big railroad cor porations are collecting much higher freight in this * sta*e than in other states through which they run. Our trouble is wo have no water competi tion. The only remedy is for the state to provide water competition, and east-and-west railway conpe'ition. I 1 am in favor of all necessary expendi | tures to relieve this state from bond ! age to the big railroad corporations, i We will probably save in two years to ! the people of this state an amount I equal to the entire bond issue called I for. This is sound economy. No man j object to contracting a debt that will| i pay profits at thn rate of 50 to 100 1 per cent a year. The proposition now j before our people will cut down rail ! road freights by $10,000,000 a year. Prevent Building' Large Cities. “The present frieght rates prevent our building up large cities in this state and tend to build up big cities far away from our borders. The farm ers of North Carolina could do a j great deal better by themselves if we j had larger cities in the state. We ] would have a better sale for our pro j ducts. So this matter appeals to me as lone which will not only enable the ! farmer to get lower prices when he | comes to town to buy farming im I plements. fertilizers, and sifpplies, but will also enable him to get better I prices for what he has to sell. No Taxes Will be Levied. “Finally, let me say that there is I no danger that the tax to support the | bonds required in this great enterprise j will in anywise fall upon property 1 owners. There is no property tax in North Carolina for state purposes. Let the farmers hear in mind that while they are voting for bonds they are not voting any taxes upon themselves. Taxes are paid by incomes and inheri tances. On the other hand, they are voting for lower freight rates and for larger markets near them, and for a better opportunity to sell in home markets at their own price. It seems to me that these considera tions ought to move the farmers the farmers of North Carolina to carry this election. farmers Have tiolden opportunity. “Rarely in our history has n great er opportunity been presented to the farmers todo something: for them selves and improve their condition. I urge every farmer to study the ques tion; look into it for yourself. Do not let political hirelings deceive you or becloud the issue. On the other hand, let us stand together and fight this battle through to a victorious con clusion.’’ The gist of Mr. Stone’s appeal to the farmers of North Carolina is, "Vote for State Terminals and Water Transportation for the individual benefits to be secured therefrom.” (Advertisement.) rRY STAB WANT AD«J • : ,4;-. Page Takes A Fling At Our Closing Law Kings Mountain Editor Calls It A "AVeak Instrument” And A "Milk And-Cider Proposition.” Kings Mountain Herald. The long-Sought and Much-dis cussed Cleveland county Sunday dos ing law is now at hand. It took lots of work to ever get a law passed and tlu'ii il took lots mow to (ret hold of a copy, of it. Anti ufter we’ve (rotten it a tolerable weak instrument it appeals to be. It is understood that Mr. 'Davis tried to (tet through a law with teeth and whiskers but that in ' trument that finally went through is only a milk-anti-eider proposition. However, it is an improvement over the former situation. It is certainly not much of a compliment to the (len eral Assembly of North Carolina to take down a law and pull its teeth Values such as these arp - NOT UNUSUA, AT THE A^P ANY V/EEK OF THE YEAH YOU CAN SAVE MORE BY SHOPPING AT THE AsP Start to save today A. & P.

There is no intention of reflection upon either Mr. Davis or Mr. Lattimore for we verily believe that they would have preferred a law that would make the enemies of religioh and government i shut up shop on Sunday. There’s al ways a bunch of howling sissies around, though, who are afraid that somebody wont like it, or that aoine tourist wiH go off and talk about us. j Tor our part we don’t care who likes it nor who talks about us when we! are right and they are wrong. But, if the sheriff and his deputies will en force the law as we now have it it will be a \great improvement over the present situation. They ca i stop country stores from selling flour, sugar and coffee and sardine: and • rackers and plow points and wagon .ungues ami the like on Sunday. That is if the folks will help. The sheriff cannot be at every store in the county all day Sunday, neither •an lie have a deputy at each of the store all day Sunday. But if the folks who raised complaint und got ihe law on the books will n< w be just as diligent in securing evidence against violators the situation can he handled successfully. It is a down right shame when there has to be a law passed to make folks regard the Sabbath day anyhow. When the con science, their sense of propriety, their regard for their fellowmun, to say nothing of Him who said “Tljou shalt keep the Sabbath Holy unto the Tortl." fails to ’'keep them 'TV chbck, the law ought to take hold of them and hold them in check. The wail con tinues to go up “You can’t legislate righteousness into folks,” but the echo comes hack, “You can hold a stick over their heads and make them behave while the other folks practice rights© usJler.s.” The difference between actual insan ity and legal in anity is that a verdict of acquittal usually cures the latter.— Little Itock Arkansas Gazette.
