''' BIGGEST EVER
WILL SURPASS EVERY CELEBRA-
TION OF KIND EVER HELD
IN THIS VICINITY.
EXPECT ENORMOUS CROWD
The Biggest Amusement Proposition
Ever Attempted In COun.
ty History.

With the opening day Of the Biz
Manchester Jubilee, which will last
for three days, Delaware county will
see the biggest celebration ever held
within its precincts. No expense has
been spared to make the entertain.
ment successful and it is expected that
a bigger crowd will throng into Man
chester than ever before.
The biggest attraction secured thus
far is the Battle Cry Of Peace" one
of the largest and best photo plays ev-
er produced and said to rival "I,hs
Birth Of a Nation" The drama n
itself is considered the most sti:r.ng
appeal for world wide peace ever
staged and in its cast are many pota-
BILE actors.
There will be some very unusual
aerial acts and also troupe of train-
ed animals. considered the best on the
road at the present time.
Horse racing will be big feature
Of the three days and there will al
so be three first class ball games be-
tween evenly matched teams.
At ten o'clock in the morning there
will be stock show which Is open
to all. Many prominent Delaware
county breeders have entered the best
specimens that their barns and sta
bles offer.
Outside Of the above q twenty car
carnival will exhibit all during the
three days and as this is one of the
largest caravans on the road, is means
that Manchester is going to have soma
celebration.
The jubilee is in reality the OUT
gr owth of the old Delaware county
fair but it is in the hands Of the Com
mercial club, and will be a de-
cided success. It takes the place Of
the fair. but is far larger and far bet
ter than that celebration ever was.

SHOULD USE DINNERS.

More and more throughout the
state is the hue and cry over the use
Of DINNERS on automobile headlights
being raised. 1t is right, too. No one
can drive safely at night with the
glare of brilliant electric lights blind
ing him. Most cars of later years
are equipped with DINNERS and they
should be put into use. The manu-
facturers did not place them on the
machines for ornamental purposes.

A SLIGHT RAIN.

A slight rain fell about the county
early Saturday morning but it was
not sufficient to help crops to any ex-
tent. Corn seems badly burnt in this
section, more so than in any other
portion of the state, although none of
it has escaped the ravages of ex-
ceSsive heat.

CONTRACTORS BUSY,

Judging from an interview with
several Manchester contractors, this

erected thus far this summer and
many more are in the process of con-
struction. Manchester is one of the
prettiest residence towns in the state
any many people are drawn here to
make their home on this account.

spending a few weeks in the United
States, will sail on September 9th, for

COTTON ACREAGE LARGER.
Crop Diversification Not Abandoned
Though. Bulletin States.

The cotton acreage in the fifth fed
eral reserve district. reports the fed
eral reserve agent at Richmond in the
monthly bulletin of the federal reserve
board, will be slightly this
year. The practice of crop diversified
ton. which had such strong impetus
last year. will not be abandoned, how
ever. he says.
Conditions throughout the district
are good. the report testifies. Large
railway earnings are recorded. new
short lines have been constructed in
North Carolina. there is an apparent
healthy increase in manufacturing.
reasonable liquidation of debts and new
credits extended.
Generally good business conditions
throughout the country are reflected in
the reports of the twelve federal re-
serve agents. There is a growing scare
ity of raw materials used in many in
dustries. Southern agents generally
predict an increased cotton acreage
unless steps are taken to prevent.

had dived into this raw town to Shift for
