Norwegian Drunk.

a Norwegian connected with the
carnival here last week was Sunday
morning arrested at the depot here
in very drunken condition. He
was locked up, and Monday carried
before the Mayor. After hearing of
his condition, the Mayor ordered
that he be released. The man says
that the carnival owner, Mr.. West,
has quite sum of money belonging
to him that he saved during the year
but he had only a dime or so with
him. He Left here Monday walking
toward Raleigh. He expects to walk
to New Bern, where the carnival is
this week. Several citizens gave
him cash to get him board and lodg-
ing en- route.

General Smith at Head.

Major-General William A. Smith,
of Ansonville, was last week APP
pointed by General Julian S. Carr
as commander of the North Carolina
division of the United Confederate
Veterans, succeeding General James
/. Nets, of Wilmington, who recent
ly died as result of an automobile
accident.
AS a boy of Is, General Smith
enlisted with the Arson guards at
Wadesboro in June, 1861, and serv-
ed with gallantry until July LIST,
1862. On that day Malvern Hill was
assailed by the 18th N. C. regiment,
and in that mavailing charge Cen
eral Smith fell, severely wounded.
Edmund F. Fenton, private of the
Arson guards, who is another of the
"unreconstructed rebels, though
born north OF the Mason and Dixon
line, picked up the wounded youth
and bore him to the rear. Careful
nursing kept General Smith alive,
but left him cripple for life. His
friends are glad to know of his pro-
motion now to head of the States
Confederate forces.

Agricultural Class
Visits State Fair.

Eight members of the Agri-
cultural Class of the Rocking
ham High School attended the
State Fair at Raleigh two weeks
ago, and competed with 80 other
schools in judging contests.
In the livestock judging con-
test the Rockingham school was
18th out of Sc competing. In the
farm products contest the locals
won fifth place out of 80 compel
ing. In the swine judging con-
test, Rockingham school stud
ent, Jesse Covington, won first
prize of $40, his score being 1856
out of possible 200, thus plac-
ing the Rockingham school in
first place among the schools of
the state in swine judging. Of
especial interest TO the POSt-D1S-
patch is the fact that Mr.. Coving-
ton is a valued worker on the
pare, he going to school during
school hours, and working on
the paper after school.
In the farm products judging
the Rockingham team consisted
of Frank Ellerbe, John CovingI
ton and Jesse Covington. The
team won 9Th place with a score
of 69.2, the award being SIS.
In the livestock contest the
team was Theodore Thomas,
Billy Meacham and Bill Hamer.
They came out 18th out of SO
competing.
Carey Webb and James Hamer
were contestants in the individ-
ual contests.

Now, who says Richmond coun.
ty cannot get up a Fair that
would do credit to a much larger
area? A stranger, passing along,
said that the needle work equal
ed, if it did not surpass, the ex-
hibit at the State Fair, and l
would like to thank personally
every woman who contributed
to the success of that department.
II we keep on improving we will
have to have a building all of
our own.
Some short, sighted folks say
that time is wastedsin doing fine
hand work because 1T is perish
able; why there was a pair Of
clicked stockings there IS years
old, not a break lin the thread,
nor a stain on it's whiteness and
the work far smoother than that
of yesterday. There we're sew
eral quilts and counterpanes over

and dainty stitches and its auto
graphs of girls who would be
great-grand-mothers if living,
must be 70 years of age. Good
needle work lasts much. longer
than the fingers that wrought it.
A lady in R'ham had on ex-
Inhibition four generations of knit
ted bed-spreads, the oldest knit
by her grandmother when over
80 years old; she picked the cot
ton, seeded it with her fingers,
carded, spun and knitted it, and
today it is better than one can
buy. Then her mother knit one
of more intricate pattern, she
herself followed their example
and her daughter finished the
fourth in thread fromEtheir own
mill.
The modern spread and run
ners and centerpieces were very
handsome and numerous The
utility work was represented by
two we'll made shirts and a boys
coat made of an old one and
as nicely as any tailor could do.
What is the use of buying
breakable dolls when Mrs. M. c.

A boys inventive mind was
shown in that collection of orig.
inal toys, an aeroplane, a sail
boat, an engine, that lovely log
cabin with the old folk at home
on the porch, and the paintings
by the children not yet in their
teens.
But this is not a catalogue of
the Fair, it is only an expression
of thanks to those who helped
and a hint of the things worth
while that the stay-at-homes did
not see.
Perhaps the most suggestive
thing seen in one of the Com
munity booths was a small bottle
of syrup, clear as amber, made
out of watermelon juice. Think
of the millions of dollars lost by
the South before we learned the
uses of cotton seed. If water.
melons make as good syrup as
cane why could not the enormous
melon crop of the South become
of real commercial value?
There is need of more system.

CLEANEST OF COMEDIES

Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yan- kee in the Court of King Arthur continues to appeal to the humor of the satisfied audiences that are daily witnessing it at Fox's thereafter. It will remain here throughout the present week. Brimming over with comedy,yet so constructed that the scenes do not seem far fetched, his~ picture shows a very modern young man transplant cd into the fiddle ages where he as sociates with the Knights of Round Table. There are tournaments in which motorcycles and fiivers vie With the old horse and armour and through it all runs a love story that IS humorous as well as appealing.
 This is one of the cleanest most wholesome pictures ever shown here.

 Yes. ought to know who he is. He was Rattray's skipper"

 "I want to see Charlie Li," said Satterlee. He went to the office win- dow, whistled on his fingers, and beckoned.
 "Arriba.' he called. Come up!''
 A fruit vendor, the one who had accosted Strang a few minutes before, shouldered his pole and trotted across the plaza to climb the stone stairs to the office. He swung his baskets through the door. and followed with cautious glances into the office.
 Come in. Nobody here but the capn and myself. Seen Strang ?" asked Satterlee.

 Make it worse" said Nickelsen in alarm. Can't be done. Satterlee's told her the story of the Tropic Bird, and she wouldn't let you say word against him. Why, she regards you and me as servants, but Satterlee's a business man.
