insist that the Raleigh Street Railway
Company provide suitable depot the
Fair Grounds, and that more cars be pro
vided and operated during Fair Week as
the transportation facilities heretofore
furnished have been wholly inadequate
and disappointing, and this difficulty
must be remedied in some way by the
next Fair
While the Fair has been wonderfully
we'll managed, and great things have been
accomplished, l think the time has come
Tor Us to enter upon a broader field of OPP
Grafton and usefulness by having our sec
rotary to go out and personally canvass
our milling interests in cotton, hosiery,
carpets, furniture, fertilizer, Woodwork
ing, etc. Also to visit the leading farmers
and stock raisers to the end that these
great and growing industries of our State
may be brougt into harmony and coop
Grafton with the objects of the State Agri-
cultural Society, and by inducing as many
as possible to exhibit their products at
our next great Fair, which would be a
revelation indeed to the majority of our
own people, and one of startling interest
to the whole country. 1t is probably true
that we may get a number Of new ex-
hibits this year, but by pushing this work
now we shall have them in line and ready
for our next Fair after making permanent
improvements and engagements during
1905.
"As we get further into this business,
shall have other suggestions to make for
your consideration.
