Of that total, 42 wre' Democrats,'. 15 were Republicans and 5 bclpntred to oth er parties. The high water mark for'Democratic Senators was in the '76th .

Ilfl ' i! -i' , ' I! - -9 r ' 1 The 89th North Carolina State Fair, October 16 through 20, will offer more "high priced" entertain ment than ever before, according to Dr. J. S. Dorton, manager. Listed among the outstanding at tractions at the State' Fair' this year are three of the nation's lead ing popular vocalists Miss Doro thy Collins, Russell Arms, and Pat Boone. Miss Collins and Russ Arms will appear together in "Hit Parade- Revue", a light-hearted two-hour musical patterned after their regular television series, "Your Hit Parade". The music will be provided by Ernie Rudy and his orchestra. ' - ' ' The Collins-Arms show will have another personality if he can be called that. He's "Zippy", the Chimp, the scatterwitted little ape who so often appears on television's Gary. Moore Show and I've Got a Secret. In all "Zippy" appeared on television often enough to earn his owner $25,000 during his first year. . Miss. Collins one of America's most popular girl vocalists, got her big start in television by singing commercials. . . Russ, straight dramatic actor turned popular singer, also started his rise to fame doing live commer cials. " "Hit Parade Revue" plays in the State Fair Arena' on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 16 and 17 at 8 P. M. Pat Boone, voted America's "most promising male vocalist" by both Billbord and Cash Box Maga zines, has soared to success over night in a manner almost unparal led in entertainment history. In just one year from that eventful day in 1955 when he made his first record, Pat Boone has: sold more than 4,000,000 records;, placed at least one of his records in Bill board's Best Seller Charts 38 out of 52 weeks; become a favorite of mil lions -as a frequent guest on the Arthur Godfrey radio and television shows; gained ranking as one of the country's top personal appear and acts; turned down three major movie offers from Hollywood; and been voted "most promising male vocalist." Pat will share the spotlight on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 18, 19 and 20 at 8 P. M., in the State Fair. Arena with "Mid-, western Hayride,"one of the na tion's top country music shows. "Hayride," featuring The Midwest erners, Rudy Hansen, the Hayseeds, Mano King and Bobby Bobo, is seen regularly in other parts of the country via NBC television. And as if this weren't enough, the State Fair is offering another big entertainment extravaganza. This one, produced by America's foremost producer of outdoor en tertainment, General Artists Cor- poration-Hamid, Inc., will appearl nightly during the State Fair in front of the grandstand. It's' "Stairway to the Stars", a colorful,! gay musical with a line of lovely: dancers. V Beautifully costumed, the cast performs three elaborate pro-: duction dance numbers. Numerous variety acts fill the in-between spots. It is top-flight entertain-' ment designed to enchant the audi-: ence.' .

A crop of this size would be 11,000 bales,lor 3.1 per cent, less than the 351,000 bales harvested, last' year and 117,000 bales less than the 10-year (1945- 54) average. The September 1 lint yield per acre is estimated at 363 pounds, compared with 350 pounds last year and the 10-year average yield of 321 pounds. Based upon' cotton in cultivation July 1 and average abandonment, it is estimated that 450,000 acres will be harvested this year. This is the smallest cotton acreage har yested sihee records began in 1866. Weather conditions during Aug ust in most of the important Pied mont cotton producing counties were not very favorable for cotton. Extended dry weather has reduced yield prospects in ,these counties. Highest yields . are currently ex pected in the Coastal Plain . coun ties. The crop in this area was severely damaged by hurricanes last year. For the United States, the Sep tember forecast is 13416,000 bales is 437,000 bales below the August forecast. . QllllMOllIHIIHtlllMlllll."iMfMtMtMtilMMiti j TAYLOR THEATPF EDENTON. N.
