Horse Show at Fair Grounds.

Every indication around state fair
headquarters is that the coming fair
will surpass any other exhibition in
point of entries in the various depart
ments.
Secretarl J. Z. Eannon is receiving
on the average of zoo entries a day in
the live stock department alone. This
has bee nthe case for the past sew.
eral days, and, with the increased ia
cilities afforded this year by the build
ing of the seven new barns, the live
stock to be seen will be the best
shown anywhere in the west at any of
the state fairs. says Mr. aHnnon.
These barns are the best that mod
ern builders could design. They pro-
vide comfortable and safe quarters for
the valuable stock. and, further than
that, there are bath rooms, toilet
rooms, sleepingquarters and every con-
venience for the barnmen and stable
boys. This means that there won't be
a moment during the entire week OF
the fair when the valuable stock will
DO left unguarded.

From the evidence given at the In
quest over the Grand Trunk wreck
victims and from the deposition or
Fireman Nelson the general belief OF
the states officials and the citizens or
Durand today is that the blame for
the wreck will be placed by the In
quest on Brakeman Graham, because
of the fact that he did not go back
the required 1900 feet to flag the
train which crashed into the Nebraska
taking eight lives.
None of the state officials VIII
make this statement. but the tenor OF
all the evidence was to that end. and
the state authorities are inclined TO
look on the attempt of the Grand
Trunk to place the blame on Engineer
Spencer as an absurdity. The testi-
mony showed that Brakeman Graham
exploded the torpedo too late for
Spencer to hear II in time to avert a
collision.
IF Spencer is incompetent. IL his
moral habits were such as to render
hi mincapable of performing his du-
ties, the Grand Trunk should have
fired him long ago." said one man who
was at the inquest. That doesn't let
the railroad out on the score of en-
ploying incompetent men by long
ways"
Spencer testified that he threw on
the brakes as soon as he could when
he heard the torpedo. but 1t was too
late. Both he and his fireman were
busy In the cab and did not see the
lantern the brakeman carried. The
controversy over the lights on the
rear of the wrecked train will proba-
bly, never be settled, but Engineer
Spencer has accounted for the lantern
found near the wreck by several wit
nesses by hte statement that he car
ried 1t there searching for the torpedo,
after the wreck. and left 1t there.

Nothing appears to have been over
looked by the state fair management
In preparing for the comfort Of the
crowds at the coming exhibition. Many
thoughtful arrangements will be made
with the sole purpose Of affording the
maximum Of cofort for visitors and
1t is believed that this years fair,
with its added features and conse-
quently larger crowds, will be espe-
cially well managed.
No tickets for the fair will be on
sale this year and there won't be any
tickets used. excepting those for use
by exhibitors. The Bright coin-count-
ing turnstiles, which have been used
with great success at other large ex-
hibitions, have been installed at the
gates and this will do away with the
crowding and forming in line at the
gates. Nothing but a so cent piece
is needed for admittance, and this way
the rush of people can be cared for to
much better advantage than hereto
fore.
There will be the finest appearing
grounds in the, country to greet the
eyes of fair visitors this year. Con-
siderable time and expense has been
put on the grounds, the trees and
shrubbery will be found in perfect con-
dition and the roadways will all be
well kept and sprinkled during the
fair. No wagons or drays will be al
lowed on the grounds after a. m.
each day under penalty Of fine.

Whatever Comes Up, Robson

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
''Out with the old and in with

might Watchers" as the old
Mrs. Nineteen-Nine" resigns
her honor to Miss Nineteen
Ten.
This has been an odd year, as
we'll as an off year in some things.
An odd year in number, and Won
derfully odd in that it has been a
very prosperous and bountiful
year, enabling many people to
even up old scores and prepare
for the frest start next year with
bright and renewed energy.
Furthermore, it has been an
off year in politics and the peo-
pies minds have not been dis
turbed by politicians, willing to
sacrifice themselves for the dear
people. But how about the COM
ing year? Already have seen
some items that had systems of
prospective events. The grand
old county of Robson no doubt
will be stirred from pike to af-
fnity" on things POLITICAL, and,
in things local, new county,
contest may be on top; but in all
these let there be no unseemly
strife, or bitterness among our
people, for we must stand togeth-
Ter when outsiders come uI
against us for honors that will fl
a Robesonian as we'll as anybody
! else-positions, too, that can be
filled just as we'll by Robesonian:
as folks from other counties.
Lack of loyalty to our owl
county has held Robson back ir
a political sense, and we SHOULD
remember that as a county W.
can never gain prestige unless W.
are united in all matters wher'
our home folks are concerned.
Now don't understand me t.
say that we should disregard thu
qualifications of men and plac
ourselves in the position of en-
dorsing or pushing the claims o
; a man who is wholly disqualifie
for the position to which he as
: pires. But all things bein
j equal, let US stand by the HON
man, and if in doubt. give hir
the benefit of it. No one ca

E. no one can ever be more grateful

Recovery of the Canova Statue

Recovery OF the Canova Statue.
Raleigh News and Observer 4th.
The North Carolina Historical
Commission through it's Secre-
tary, Mr.. R. D. w. Connor, has
{ made another find of more than
ordinary interest to the people of
the State.
The Commission received yes
terday, from Italy, plaster cast
of Canova's famous statue of
Washington. The cast was made
from the original plaster model
executed by Canova's own hands,
from which the marble statue
was made and it is the gift of
the Royal Government of Italy to
the State of North Carolina,
through the State Historical
Commission.
This is certainly a great
achievement of theCommission's,
! for it makes possible the recov-
cry, at the very small cost of
carving into marble, of the most
famous work of art ever in
America. The statue was order
ed from Canova by the State in
1916, was brought to America in
1921. set up in the State House
, at Raleigh, and destroyed when
, the State House was burned in
) 1881. After its obstruction, the
State appropriated $4,000 for its
repair, but the money was spent
) without success. But now, after
. the lapse of more than three.
: quarters of a century, through
f the efforts of Secretary Connor,
/ of the Historical Commission the
: statue is recovered just as il
. come from the sculptor's hands,
E and an opportunity is offered te
n the State for comparatively
n small sum to have it recarvee
6 into marble and set up agar
: in the State Capitol, where i
4 will once more become the mos
valuable work of the kind in tn
:. Union.

nal side he was descended from
the McEachins and Grahams and
on the maternal side he traced
his relationship through the Nc
Queens and McRaes. He came
in a direct line from Flora Nc
Donald and Robert Bruce, and a
worthy son was he of noble for
bears.
HE was born seventy-ene
years ago. He graduated from
the law school of Chief Justice
Pearson in North Carolina, after
two years of study and commenc
ed the practice Of law in his ma
tive State in 1857. He located

He married on January 2r
