GREENWOOD, Oct 30.-The first
| session Of the Piedmont Fair closed
yesterday in burst of glory. The at
tendance was possibly in excess of
the expectations Of the promoters, and
the great Interest shown not only on
this day but on every ,oher day, con-
vlnced those in attendance that tho
Piedmont Fair had come to stay.
Every feature of tho fair was carried
oIt as 1t was planned without q hitch.
and II there were any dissatisfaction
over anything done or said, 1t was not
manifest to tho observer. The Green>
wood spirit OF pulling together and
boosting was shown In the staging
and management of the fair. Other
fairs elsewhere have not been success
full. but this cannot be said OF the
first session fthe Piedmont Fair. It
was q grand success.
/. The line OF exhibits wcrc very good.
There could not have been a. better
exhibition Of horses. cattle and hogs,
TO say nothing of the splendid exhibit
of poultry. The only feature OF the
fair not up to expectations was the
agricultural exhibits. These were O lit
on as to quantity but the quality Of
tho exhibits was good, and they were
nicely arranged.
Yesterday was educational day. and
the big day OF tho fair. The parade in
tho carly morning was magnificent
exhibition of the interest the county
has In her educational institutions. At
least 5000 pupils took part In the pa
radc, and tho schools OF the county
were represented as we'll as the schools
and colleges OF tho city.
The Parade.
The parade was a wonder in beau
ty and precision, the children, from
tho smallest to the largest, filing
their places In tho long procession
with perfect exactness and, of course,
the cadets led the way with soldier
like precision. The procession start
cd exactly on the minute, at the In
tersectiop of Cambridge and North
Main streets. and marched tl tho
Fair grounds down Main to Magno-
liza and Phoenix In approximately 80
minutes. The limo OF march was as

JOHN GURGANUS
 HERE YESTERDAY
Paroled by President Wilson From Federal Reform School in
 Washington

An interesting visitor to the federal building yesterday was John Gurganus, young white man just out of his teens, who has been paroed by President Will son from the national reform school at Washington.
 It will be recalled that some six years ago two deputy United States marshais were killed while making a raid on an illicit still in Tuscaloosa county. John Gurganus was mere boy at that time, but in the round up following the killing was found with rifle in his hands, Sev- eral of his relatives were also arrested and at the subsequent trial received se- we're sentences and are at present con- fined in the federal penitentiary at At ianta.
 On account of his youth John was sent to the reform school at Washington and by good conduct was paroled before his sentence had expired. He came to Bir- mingham en route to his home in Tusca- loosa and called at the federal building to thank the officials for the interest they had taken in his case. He has learned a trade while at school and after visiting his people intends to return to Birmingham and take up his trade, if possible. Those who know him predict he will make good.

ALLIES WOUNDED LACK PROPER CARE, DECLARES AMERICAN
Urges Fund Be Raised in United States to Equip Surgeons and Nurses
 for the Field


 London, September 7.-fCorrespondencc of the Associated Press. )-Inabilitv to take prompt care of the sick and wounded soldiers in the field is manifesting itself to an alarming degree in the rear Of the French and English lines.
 An American official who was close behind the allies for several days. within 100 miles of Paris, said he found 2oo soldiers in one emergency camp who had beer for two days without food and water and had no surgical attention, although some of them were badly injured and tnelr wounds were foul from neglect. In many other places he found scores of wounded men who had not been picked up by the ambulance corps.
 At Paris, hospital facilities are ade- qUate and good care is taken of the in- 1ured there, but the first aid to the injured work is not thoroughly organ iaed and adequate provision has not been made for picking the injured ID promptly and affording them speedy treatment and transportation to base hospital.
 Truth of Matter
 The plain truth about the present situa- tion is that Germans, French and Eng lish alike, are so engrossed with the mighty task of making war that they have no time nor strength left to care for the sick and woundad,' said the American official. Here Is the oppor tunity for the United States to play the good Samaratin in a way which will be thoroughly appreciated by the entire world. Instead of sending a few sur geons and nurses to each of the bellig- erent countries sufficient funds might be subscribed in the United States to enable the American Red Cross to send 20 s,lr geons and 100 nurses with complete field equipment into every one of the coun- tries where fighting is going on. There IS Imperative need for immediate help from neutrals The billigerents cannot do justice to their sick and wounded without the assistance of outsiders. JJn- til one gets into the war zone and sees the wounded it Is impossible to conceive of the magnitude of this conflict
 The Red Cross ship sent by the Ameri- cans will be of great use, but trained surgeons and nurses to go into the field are needed more than ships or base hos pitals. And the surgeons and doctors are needed immediately and will be need ed throughout the war Modern science has proven how vital the immediate treatment of all wounds is I saw men lying on battlefields in France whose wounds actually were rotting through neglect"

MONTGOMERY HAS
 BIG PARADE FOR
 BUY-A-bALE PLAN
Governor of Alabama Rides on Dray Containing Bale Which He Bought at
 10 Cents

Montgomery. September 26-(Special.)
 State. city and county officials partici- pated in the "Buy-a- Bale of Cotton pa- rade which was held in Montgomery at noon today. The parade was one of the first of its kind held in the south since the "buy-a-bale' movement was inaugu- rated. and it was led by the governor of Alabama, who rode in a truck gaily decorated and festooned, and bearing the bale which he purchased Following the governor's truck there was a line of more than 100 drays, driven by officials bank trs. proprietors of leading business houses and young women.
 The parade was very unioue. Every one of the drays bore from one to six bales of cotton. all of which had been pur- chased at 10 cents a pound. The inscrip- tions printed printed across all of the bales contained words of cheer and the promise that the owners of the bales were enthusiastic opponents of the buy a-bale" movement.
 A feature of the parade was the pres ence on one of the trucks of Isaac H. Haas of Atlanta, who is given credit for originating the 'buy-a-bale" move- ment. MT. Haas came to Montgomery especially to participate in the parade.
 Preceding the parade was a cordon of police and brass band. The governors dray followed, and next in line was the truck driven by Capt Reuben P. Kolb. commissioner of agriculture. The gover- nor's bale bore the inscriptions: ''Pur- chased by the Governor of Alabama"
 One of the most stirring sentiments con- fained on any of the inscriptions was the following, written by Gordon Persons, a 12-year-old boy: q spent my last cent for this cotton. Why don't you?" An- other statement. that of the Brown Print ing company, declared: "We paid 10 cents for this cotton. but it will cost you 12''
 Let's Smile" was the cheerful and optimistic statement written across the bale purchased by Thomas L. Hackett, manager of the Montgomery Coca Cola Bottling company. High Above Every thing was the statement on a bale of cotton driven by a building contractor A yoke of oxen pulled the dray.
 A dray driven by F. A Bivens. manager of the Montgomery office of the Postal Telegraph company, had this statement or a bale of cotton: 'The Postal Tele- graph company purchased this bale here and one everywhere" Another dray car Tied bale on which this declaration ap- peared; "A United States Bond"
 The parade was more than a mile long and passed up and down Commerce street from the square to the capitol. The idea was originated by the Montgomery Cham Der of Commerce. all of whose officials occupied seats on drays. Immense crowds witnessed the parade.
