The following comment on the
Lew DuFour shows THAT will make
up the Midway for the Richmond
County Fair here next week. is.
clipped from the Gastor,ia Daily,
Gazette of October l1th, and will
give Dispatch readers some
idea as to the Midway for our
Fair:
When the gates of the eighth an
nual CASTOR County Fair were
thrown open at p. m. last night
Lew DuTour, the youthful owner
and manager OF the shows bearing
his name, gave the word to his
corps of electricians and the most
dazzling midway ever witnessed at
the local Playground was displayed
to the remarkable large crowds of
fair visitors for an opening night.
i THE officials OF the CASTOR Couns
III Fair today expressed themselves
as more than pleased with the mag
nitude aud general excellent APP
pearance of the DuFour shows, A
splendid midway of bright, clean
and worthy attractions, nearly all
of which are new to CASTOR County
Fair visitors, was the expression OF
one fair official today.
The general clearly appearance
and excellent conduct of the hun
dreds OF DuFour employees surely
reflects upon the managerial ability
of the shows owner and manage
ment.,
THE. 1922 edition of the DuFour
Shows which were Made in Dixie,
offers to Fair visitors this season
every conceivable riding device, all
of the old ones and every new de-
vice that the amusement market
has afforded to this date.
IAN official of the DuFour Shows
stated today that every member OF
the organization has put forth q
special effort to please CASTOR
County FAN visitors on this initial
visit to Gastonia so as to cement
the friendship of a real amusement
organization and q real community
1T is fair to assume that under
present conditions the Lew DuFouI
Shows will make and keep a hos
of friends among patrons Of thu
CASTOR sCounty Fair"

CUTTING TIE RAIL RECEIPTS.

What effect the automobiles are hay ing upon the railroads is indicated, to d certain degree by the inroads which are being made in the receipts of the railroads for the transportation of pas sengers. Train schedules have had to be cut in order to reduce expend itures and eliminate trains that wers cost ing more to operate than the roads were receiving because of the decrease h patronage. What this amounts to from one year to another is indicated by the figures for the first six months of this year on the New York Central lines where the passenger business amounted to $41,sf2.OoO wbile, for. the, same ne. riod last year the total was $45,2s1, 900 On the Pennsylvania system the re ceipts this year for passenger trave, was s57,320.O0o while last year, for the same period in each instance, tht amount taken in reached the sum o sS5 ,414OOo and that represents the con ditfons. among other large systems.
 All this decrease cannot be attributet to the automobile for there we're qustt | a few machines last year, but the rail roads attribute it both to the autos ant to the desire of the public to econo rnize.
 It Is plainly evident to aii obsersst however, that great numbers who hay In the past, traweNed between cities with in 50 to 75- miles. to say. nothing 0 shorter distances, have utilized the rail roads where today they are going b automobile. The cut in receipts Is i'm
 rressive and the part played by tn auto Is undeniable The sitiation reveal Cd by the comparative figures for thi l and last year may be only tefnporar,y 1 but t cannot fail to be recognized b I the. railroads themselves that they hay l lost a large sifce of business throug
 the auto which they are not going {
 regain whether the desire of the pubii to econonlize prevails or not.

Those who are making the. dain. that secretary Hughes, as a member of the presidents cabinst. ought not to be rushing to the support of his ,fofrner client Senator Newberry rnasrepresept the entire matter. Secretary Hughes puts forth his defense of Newberry iti response to a request for the facts by. New Jersey correspondent and from the amount of nirepreserEaaon and con: fusion existing regarding he, case t is well that t has been so well isresented by the secretary of state.
 The repeated attacks upon Newberry are in fact attacks upon the pri1nary system and the way it was regiiiat ed in Michigan.
