THOUSANDS VISIT
 FAIR AT ROANOKE
Liberal Citizens of Roanoke Made Possible First Ran-
 dolph County Fair

Roanoke. November 13.-(Special) Five thousand visitors. the largest crowd ever seen in Roanoke at any entertainment, was a fitting culmina- ton to the close of the first Randolph county fair. The first exposition put on by the business men of Roanoke and paid for by them without any gate charge to the visitors was a splendid success from start to finish.
 The gates opened Friday morning at 9 o'clock and people thronged through the grounds for the entire two days. About 5000 were present Friday and the crowd Saturday was estimated at about 5000.
 The curio stand was one Of the most interesting booths of the ex- position, some antiques being placed in there that were 200 and 300 years old. Another exhibit of unusual beauty was the art and china paint ing department. Here were shown some china and paintings that an ar list would have been glad to see. The flower exhibit was a mass of color and beauty and ferns and other kind were shown to the best advantage. The live stock show and poultry show were of high order.
 ias Sunday School Exhibit
 Among other notable things shown was reproduction of the city of Bethlehem and the birth of the Christ Child done in rock and sand by the pupils of the Methodist Sunday school. The Baptist Sunday school also had an interesting booth, which was the obpect of many admlring people. Canned goods exhibited by numerous exhibitors a-was the hest seen in this part of the country this year.
 The fair included also community exhibits, the Handley High school exhibit, rural school exhibits, domes- tic art exhibits. Randolph County Training school (negro) exhibit county high school exhibit and pri- vate exhibits.
 Credit Due Hackers
 The most notable feature of the fair was the short time in which it was brought to a continuation. Less than two months ago 1t was defi- nltely decided by the local packers to have a county fair. The premium lists were gotten out after most of the harvesting was done.
 Credit for the fair goes to the men of Roanoke and the Chamber of Commerce, led by President ". F. Danielly, Mir. Cantrell, the local county agent, and E. M. Moore, man. ager, and the women of the town who worked to make it a great send off for the future fairs to come.

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE HERALD.


 The advancing prices of materials used in road construction work has brought a serious problem for the state highway department, which was discussed at the monthly meeting of the highway commission Monday aft ernoon. Investigation shows that the prices of building material and of feed stuff for animals has been grad uaily going upward during the past sixty days and which will cause a material increase in the prices of contractors who will submit bids for roads now on the building program.
 The question of prices came during the consideration of the bids for the construction of nine miles of road as part Of the Jasper highway. The commission accepted tho bid of Jerre W. Gwin of Bir- mingham, which was for the com pletion of a gravel road for s16s.o0o.
 If this contract were let on new bids the price would be greater. as hay for road animals has increased 40 per cent during the past 50 days and other increases have been as high as 50 per cent.
 Want Northport Road
