Under bright October skies, the wealth and craftsman ship of almost a century of progress since the county was created by charter that cold January 13, 1841, will be mar shalled for display. ; To Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock the gates of the eleventh annual Cleve land County Fair will swing open for a crowd expected to surpass 115,000 during the week to see what rich resources, farming skill and home-making talent have developed from the rolling slopes of a big, fer tile territory—from the coves of the South Mountains to the banks of the Broad river, and from Kings Mountain battlefield to Rutherford. Enough, More Than Enough From, the kitchens and pantries, bins and barns will be brought enough Cleveland-grown vitamines and calories to overstuff a cavalry brigade. From the fields and pas tures enough hefty beeves and gen tle milk cows, goats, calves, pigs and chickens to satisfy the meat-eaters of Haile Selassie's warriors. From the front parlor, the sewing room tnd the workshop, enough house hold goads^milts, fancies and pret ties u) set up a city of interior dec orators. These things will be seen on the two floors of the great exhibition hall and grandstand and in the long animal husbandry building where, in front position, in stalls as neat as boudoirs, the little thoroughbred race horses stamp under swanky blankets. i leveianas coney Between the two large halls, the carnival people will tomorrow begin setting up their tents, booths, shows and spectacular rides—the midway will be a pandemonium of color and noise and giddy motion as the mer merrv-go-rounds go merrily around, •he barkers bark and screaming girls grasp not-so-bashful swains for protection as the breath-taking chariots of the high-wide-and fancy rides point their slippers to ward the stars. , In the meantime, between visits to the exhibits, the crowds will jam the grandstand, which seats 4,200 and manages to accommodate more than 3.000, to see the horse races and the free acts. Beginning at 2 o clock every afternoon, the race* -nrj the acts run concurrently. As the ponies are led to the stables, the acrobats are led on.

F. D. R. Rebuffed By Kentuckians In Peace Effort ! LOUISVILLE, Ky„ Sept. 27.— President Roosevelt's gesture to ward reconciling factional differ ences among Kentucky Democrats on the eve of the state guberna torial election met with a setback today. Thomas S. Rhea of Russellville, defeated by Lieutenant Governor A. B. Chandler for the nomination as governor in the Democratic run-off primary, declined to meet the Pres dent today aboard his special train in Cincinnati in a sharply worded reply to an invitation from M. H. McIntyre, the President's secretary, for a conference with the President, Governor Ruby Laffoon and Chand ler. Chandler accepted, but Gov ernor Laffoon, who supported Rhea, declined. Rhea charged that "barriers" had been raise dagainst him at the White House. Resentment was felt by the gov ernor when he received a telegram from the White House inviting Chandler and Rhea but not the governor. It developed that word "you" inviting the governor to at tend, had been omitted from the telegram, through a transmission error. Efforts of McIntyre to patch up the difficulty over the telephone were unavailing. The governor was adamant that he would not go to the conference. Italy Impatient, But Wi Hold Up Opening Conflict! Italy Heeds Warning;; Halts For 2 Weeks 1 _____ i I Rainy Season Ended, Ethiopian Territory now Dry Eenough for Troop Movement (By Associated Press) Fears that the close of the rainy season now ended would bring an immediate commencement of hos tilities between Italy and Ethiopia were allayed today by an Italian government spokesman who said Italy would wait ten days to two weeks before taking action. The League, which yesterday fitt ed a three-month time limit, de cided in principle to accept Em peror Haile Selassie’s plea for a commission of neutral observers to watch over the Ethiopian frontier. The emperor suggested such a com mission would be able to determine Impartially which nation was the agressor. Pope Asks Peace Vatican prelates interpreted Pope Pius’ recent address as a plea for peace directed specifically to Italy and Ethiopia. The people of Ethiopia celebrated with ancient ceremonies, overshad owed this year with military prep arations, as the rainy season ended. A heavy rain, however, interrupted the festivities. Some British gntemirifiB fhamirr ed the possibility of another cabinet lem in lnierna-uoiiai ponum * nrougm about by the present phase Of the dispute. Italian Spokesmen ob served the ground would soon be dry enough for troop movements, adding that ‘ unless something hap pens Italy will wait for the council but our patience cannot last for ever.” French officials said Great Brit ain and France were negotiating for a mutual assistance agreement | to cope with any war threat. The suggested pact was described as an outgrowth of the conflict between Italy and Ethiopia, and one official said “Premier Laval now has no fear | of going ahead.” Former Resident Of Shelby Is Dead Mrs. Garry H.
