These for Fair

Not waiting or delaying in preparing
for the great crowds that will be at
the great North Carolina State Fair
during the week of October 1921, the
officers of the Fair Association have
taken time by the forelock.
Secretary Pogue, who shows that he
knows how to do things, is entering
with Vigor into the arrangements for
having the railroads handle the great
crowds that are to visit Raleigh during
the Fair, and especially tc have them
look after the enormous attendance
that is certain to be received on Thurs
day. the 18th of October which is
Roosevelt Day."
Secretary Pogue has written to the
transportation department of che var
ious railroads, calling their attention
to the need of extra service, special
trains and equipments for the State
Fair this year, and from each of these
he has the promise OF full accommo-
dations and quick service. Here is
what some of the railroad authorities
have to say:
I'VE will do everything in our pow
er to properly handle the crowd and
see that everyone who desires TO at

fact that they could not get accommo-

Maranacook. Me, Aug. 26.-Three
lives were lost and four persons were
injured by the burning of Hotel Mara
nacook here today AT noon, after it
was thought that all of the one hum
dred or more guests whose lives were
endangered by the fire, had been ac-
counted for, it was reported that one

bodies, was renewed.
The dead:

Mrs. Martin, wife of Mr.. Martin, 80
years Old.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, aged

The fire, which is supposed to have
been caused by a defective chimney,
spread rapidly through the two and
one-half stories of the wooden struc-
ture. Clerk Boutwell, discovered the
flames, and rushing through the cor
ridors, aroused all the guests. In
doing this, however, he was seriously
burned, and later, while attending to
the guests in the cold air of the early
morning, contracted severe cold,
which, it is feared, will develop into
pneumonia. None of the guests

GRAFTON may possibly be an important

fecting widely separated portions of
the country On these points the cor
respondence says:
Nothing ever undertaken in the
way of railroad construction is more
novel or unique in its methods and in
its history, or more loaded with pos
sible effects on the development of a
section than is the DeepWater-Tide-
water system of railways. now practi-
cally under contract between the town
of Deepwater, w. Va, and the tidewa-
ter of Hampton Roads, Va, a distance
of about 500 miles. From somewhere
along the line an offshoot will ultimate
ly appear, headed for some point On
one of the Great Lakes of the North.
Wherever it may land, the total length
of the main line can hardly exceed
/ 900 miles. If Lake Erie is selected
it will be much less than 1000 miles,
all told. But that short trunk line Will
go through the heart of the best cox
ing and steam coal fields Of West Viz
ginia-a field nowhere surpassed in
richness on the globe-and 1T Will be
built to such grade and provided with
such equipment as will enable it to
haul coal to either lake or tidewater
at a cheaper rate than is possible by
any existing line.
