THE HOUSEHOLD BOOTH
AT THE COUNTY FAIR
1t Is Planned to Make This Booth
More Attractive Than Ever
This Year


The management of the Greater
Williamsburg fair has decided that
the Household booth of the coming
fair shall be better than that of any
previous fair. With that end in view
they have appointed a capable COM
mittee under the craftsmanship of Mrs
H. NJ. Cooper to have charge Of the
arrangements. When seen by The
Record man, Mrs. Cooper was enthus-
iastic over the prospects for this de-
partment.
However" said Mrs. Cooper, "the
success or failure of the booth all
depends on whether or not the. ladies
of the county cooperate. Without the
support of every one Of them the
booth will be failure"
It is not planned that the House
hold booth shall compete with the
booth of the County Demonstration
agent, Miss McMurray. The call of
the Household booth is for the unique
and dainty of the housewives art. A
prominent place will be given to fruits
and vegetables canned in an artistic
way. 1t is planned to gather together
the greatest number of different va
rieties of canI.ed and preserved fruits
and vegetables that the county has
ever seen. This means that you will
have to help.
Another section of the booth will
be given over to cooked biscuits, pies,
cakes and anything else that's good
to eat. In this department special
emphasis will be laid on the artistic
merit of the arrangement. 1t is sug-
gested that those who send in ex-
bibits to this department send along
the recipe, more so if the recipe is
an old one that is not apt to be in
cook books.
The biggest innovation in the booth
will be the endeavor to have the la
dies who have evolved better sys-
tenn of doing some household task
show how they do it by an exhibit.
This exhibit could be merely writ
ten resume, and still be very inter-
esting.
Mrs. Cooper asks that the ladies
of the county get behind this booth
and put it across. '1n so doing, they
will not only benefit others, but will
benefit themselves, as the manage
ment is offering many premiums in
this department" was hcr closing
word.

Union School Notes.

Since Union High School opened on
September 18th, its regular work has
gone on with unusual smoothness and
regularity. Though work was ha.di-
capped for a few weeks by rather
small enrolment, due to the pressing
demands of the harvest season, at
this time We have a large enrolment
and new pupils are constantly coming.
If the student body continues to in
crease as it has recently, we will soon
be unable to accommodate them all.
With the permission Of the authori-
ties, the trustees have set November 8
as the date when the compulsory lIw
shall begin to take effect in this school
district. A late date was set in order
that the pupils might be allowed to
work on the farms.
For the past few days the pupils
of the high school department have
been busy selling tickets for the I'm
ion Lyceum course The pupils were
divided into two teams, called the
Reds and the Blues, with captain in
charge of each. Thus intense rivalry
has been developed between the two
competeing teams and some very sue
cessful canvassing has been done.
Union will have course Of six at
fractions this year and each one prom
ises too instructive as well as en-
tertaining. This course is being put
on by the school as a school enterprise
and is well supported. The first at
traction will be the Warwick Male
Quartet, which comes on Friday eve
ming, November 5th, at eight-thirty
o'clock.
The Francis Marion Literary society
held its regular meeting on Friday,
the 18th of October. A part of the
programme was appropriate to the
general election. The debate was on
the query: Resolved: That the State
Should Furnish Free Transportation
to the Nearest High School for All
Children Qualified to Attend a High
School" The judges gave the decls-
ion in favor of the affirmative.
Following is the honor roll for the
first month:

NOT PERSONAL VIC
TORY SAYSHARDDNC
MEANS NATIONAL CALL TO RE
PUBLICAN PARTY, SAYS
WINNER

Marion, Ohio, Nov. 2.-Convinced
by early returns of his election to
the Presidency, Warren G. Harding is
sued a statement tonight saying that
instead of being exultant over the TO
suit he was "more given to prayer to
God to make me capable Of playing
my part"
Receiving the election returns at his
home here, Mr.. Harding declined dur
ing the early evening to make any
comment, and issued his statement
only after the figure had piled up
majorities for him which his advisers
declared made his election certain.
At the same time it became known
that the Senator and Mrs. Harding
had made plans for a vacation trip
to be carried out regardless Of the re-
suit Of the election, taking them for
rest next week to Texas and az
ter that for an ocean voyage to the
Panama Canal Zone. They will return
to Marion during early December.
Harding's Statement
The Senator's statement follows:
Assuming that the early returns
are wholly dependable, do not hest
tate to say that I am pleased, Of
course, I am happy to utter my graft
tude. But I am not exultant. It is
not a personal victory. It is a re-
newed expression of confident Amcri-
canism and a national call to the Re-
publican party.
"It is also serious, the obligations
are so solemn that instead of exult-
ing am more given to prayer to God
to make me capable of playing my
part, and that all the calls to respon-
sibility may meet the expectations Of
America and the world.
II am sure, the people who have
voted the Republican ticket will un-
derstand my feeling that l should
make no unstudied statement Of poll
cies at this time beyond the expression
made throughout the campaign"
Millions of Democrats
Coincidently with the Senator'S
statement, Harry NJ. Daugherty,
of the Republican campaign
made this statement here;
ut is the greatest victory in Ameri-
can politics, clearly foreshadowed and
predicted. It is more than a partisan
as the result was contributed
to by millions of Democrats. The
women of the nation have quickly
yindicated the conferring of the suf-
frage privilege as they sensed correct
ly the issues and rallied to the cause
Of America and American institutions.
The Republican party is fully con-
scious of the great responsibilities I'M
piled in this popular verdict and Will
faithfully keep it's obligations"
The Senator's trip to Texas will be-
gin Friday night or Saturday morning
and Mr.. Harding will arrive at Point
Isabel, Texas, near Brownsville, next
He plans to spend about
Twelve days there and then leave Tor
Panama by way of New Orleans.
His stay in the Canal Zone will last
about a week, during which he will
make a, frst-hand study of local con-
litions, and particularly OF the tis
,vstem for American ships. He has
advocated throughout the campaign .
repeal of these tolls and it is expected
,e will collect information on that
policy.

SERIOUS RACE WAR
REPORTED IN ALABAMA
Three Negroes Killed and Fifteen
Captured--Loss From Fire
Heavy

Montgomery, Nov. Three ne
groes known to be dead, fifteen in the
Montgomery county Jail, and proper
ty loss through incendiary fires of
Saturday and Sunday night approx
mating 100000 recapitulates the out
break in the southern part of this
county early tonight. Over one hun
dred heavily armed county and city
officials and civilian volunteers are
on duty at stragic points in the affect
ed area tonight, although it was geh-
orally believed the threatened Lpris-
ing had been nipped.
The killing of Warren Taylor, ne
gro, the third to die in connection
with the events of the past forty-two
hours, occurred early this afternoon,
after he had emptied a 45-calibre pis-
tol at Chief of Police Taylor, Sheriff
John L.. Scoggin and other officials
who had placed him under arrest at
his home eighten miles south Of this
city. Taylor had reported earlier in
the day an attempt to burn his prop
erty by night riders, the robbery Of
his store and an attempt upon his
own life. While he was being treated
for buckshot wound in his shoulder
in the city, officers went to his home
and questioned his motherr and found
the statements Of the two at variance.
They also found the safe Taylor had
reported had beer stolen, under his
bed. The discrepancy in the accounts
as given caused the officers to decide
on Taylor's arrest and when he came
home he found the officers waiting
for him. When he was bundled into
Chief of Police Taylor's automobile,
he seized gun lying in the car and
started shooting. Detective Sergeant
Avant pinioned the negroes arms,
causing his aim to be Ineffective. Be-
fore the negro had emptied tie pistol,
however, he was fired on from the
side and eight bullets pierced his head
and body, causing instant death.
Conflicting report were received at
Montgomery throughout the day from
the southern part of the county, coup
ling alleged threats to destroy one or
two rural towns during the night.
This caused the swearing in of 100
civilians, who with county and city
officials are on guard in those locali-
ties tonight. A prevailing report here
tonight, which was without confrma-
ton due to inability to secure wire
with the community, was
to the effect that four negroes had
been shot to death near highland
Home, Ala, early in the day.
AT the county Jail this afternoon,
w. F. Amerson, who apprehended end
arrested Laddie Gibson, Jr., a negro
stated that Gibson had told him an
other negro, Roosevelt Johnson, also
under arrest, had shown him balls OF
cotton, which he had saturated with
kerosene oil Saturday afternoon and
said they were to be used in destroy
ing the buildings on the Davis and
Houlton plantations, whrre the first
fires were discovered late
Saturday night.
Every male white resident in the
southern part of the county was re-
ported heavily armed this afternoon
and at Showdown and Ramer, Ala,
weH keeping an all-night vigil against
any attacks, threats of which had been
boasted about during the day.
