Ruuors have been circulating for
some DAYS that the Whiting Lumper
Co., had purchased practically all the
town of RObbinsville and today a re
liable gentleman here verified the re-
port. It was stated that during the
past few days the people Of obbln
vile have been set or fire by the
payment to them Of fabulous prices
for their holdings in the town. 1t was
further stated that money paid TO the
people of Robbinsville vas paid IN
gold, in SO and $50 gold pieces.
The Whiting lumber Co.. is backed,
it is said, by an English syndicate. This
has advanced, or stands ready to ad-
vance. $40, 600, 600 on the holding OF
the in Graham county. 1t
seems hat some time last May an
agent of the Whiting Company went
to a man named Walker in Robbins
vile who owned practically all the
valley land along the two streams be
tween which R~obbinsville is located.
An option was taken on the property
for $4,000. A few days ago this OPP
ton was taken up.
In the meantime options were quiet
ly being taken on all the property in
R~obbinsville. Last week. however.
the people who had not given options
got wise and prices jumped away up"
Then agents Of the company boldly
went into the town. took up all the
options they had paid in gold for the
property and bought other property at
from three to ten times its intrinsic
value.
1t was further stated that options
had been either taken OF the property

Presbyterian church and the Prebyte-

The Great State Fair this year,
which viii be held during the week of
October 1922, 1910, at the famous old
Fair Grounds at West Raleigh, Will
celebrate it's seth anniversary with
several notable features and num-
cradle interesting events. Of course,
one Of the most striking new things
about the Fair this year Will be the
new concrete fire proof exhibition
building, built of reinforced concrete
throughout, and made to be perma-
nent as Well as ornamental. This
building is now finished, and is a mag
nifcent structure, worth by itself a
trip to the Fair to see. It is 6Ox15O
feet and fitted up in the most modern
style throughout for the best exhibit
ton Of products of the field and gar
den.
But one of the most notable features
Of this Jubilee year VII be the gooo
roads demonstration, which VII take
place on Wednesday,, October 10Th.
This is known as Good Roads Day, and
will be a red letter. day in the Fair
of 1910. Judging from the CORE
spondence in the State Fair office, the
inquiries being made from all over
the State, and the rush of axe or
road machinery to get into the con
test, the day bids fair to vie in i'm
portance and crowds with the usual
big Thursday. The most modern
road machinery from at least eight
or ten of the largest manufacturers OF
road making machinery in the
try will be exhibited, showing the
latest as Well as the most economical
methods of road making, including
road rollers. rOad Scrapers, rock
rushers and complete lines OF mod
ern road builders, making up such an
exhibition as has never been seen in
the State before. Good Roads Day
therefore, at the 50th Great State
Fair and Home Coming Jubilee
should prove of great alu to the
State. As its purpose is to make plain
to our people tina practical methods
of road construction are within the
means Of every community, and that
it is economy to build good roads, IS
they pay The highest dividend on
money invested.
The plan of the State Fair marage-
ment in conducting the demonstra-
ton is briefly as follows:
The manufacturers are to bring
their outfits of road making machinery
and the Fair management undertakes
to provide stone upon the ground for
crushing and laying. There has been
laid off in a convenient. place on the
Fair Grounds a SECTION 400x30 feet for
the construction of q modern road,
bit by bit, letting each manufacturer
demonstrate his system, and exhibit
his machines at work, SO tnay the
various sections bIilt by the differ
ent manufacturers Of machines may
be compared one with another. No
charge for space is made for these
exhibits of road making machinery, SO
that the whole idea is to provide the
manufacturers with a opportunity
to compete in their respective meth
DDS Of Dad building, as a means of
advertising their particular systems.
and at the same time Of educating the
spectators in road Work.
