the three years previous to this year,
Chambliss pointed out
The gross receipts from the fair in
admissions, concessions, amusements
and so forth amounted to approx
mately $4,000 this year, or about $15,-
900 less than had been estimated,
Chambliss said. The budgeted expen-
ditures as made up and approved by
the State Budget Bureau amounted
to $55O0O which added to $1,000 the
lessons paid the State, left them very
little net revenue pointed out.
The drop in revenue was caused by
the one rainy day during the fair
week-F'riday- which cost the
fair at least $4,000, according to
Chambliss. The Friday gross receipts
amounted to only $4,000 this year,
while on Friday of the 1885 fair week
the gross receipts amounted to ST.
600. Since Friday is always the best
day of the week for any State Fair, if
the weather is good, and since the
attendance on each day of the 1886
fair had been running ahead of the
1885 fair. Chambliss estimates that
this one rainy day cost the fair a
minimum of $4,000.

Miss Nancy Devers
With B. P. w. Club

On Tuesday night, Miss Nancy
Devers, of Raleigh, who is connected
with the State Department of Public
Instruction, made a most interesting
talk to the Business and Professional
Woman's Club on the subject of Vo-
cational Guidance, what North Caro-
lima has done and what should be
done. Only start has been made
and the next few years should see
much stress laid upon this most i'm
portant phase of school work. This
being Educational Week, the talk was
very timely and at it's conclusion, Miss
Devers, and some of the local mem
bers attended the demonstration go
ing on at the local High School.
Several matters of business came
before the club, one being the an.
nouncement that the Mid Year Coun-
Gil Meeting is to be held in Kinston,
November 1920, at which time the
organization will take stock of itself
and also make plans for the rest o.
the year. To increase the Loan Fund
which is used to ASSIST worthy girls
n securing business training, was
decided to have on Friday night, the
Goth, a Bridge and Setback tourna-
ment, plans of which will be announc-
ed from time to time. Since the
club was organized Is years ago many
girls have been loaned money to COM
plete courses along various lines and
this is one of the most important pro
jects of the club. Two girls are US
ing it at the present time
The December meeting of the club
will partake of different nature than
the fall meetings but the regular in
tensive programs will be continued
in January when Legislative matters
will come in for their study along
the plan mapped out for the year Of
which the central theme is citizenship.

Black-Draught High

Back-Draught is "easy to pay for"
because it is so economically pack
aged and so reliable.
But as to quality, there's nothing

prncipa! active ingredient is the
leaves of certain species of plant
that are brought 10000 miles from
where they grow to the factory
where the medicine is made. These
leaves from far, far away, help to
give Black-Draught it's well-known
laxative reliability" They could not

GLoRIFYING THE PAST NOT ENOUGH

Defenders of the capitalstic system, the Amer-
can system, if you please, those who insist upon
the retention of the DID, traditional principles in
business. in industry and in government OF our
economic life have plenty of evidence IN the past
history of our national achievement upon which TO
base their argument.
The United States has only six per cent OF the
land area in the world and only seven per cent Oh
the worlds population. Yet our country mas o1
per cent of the worlds railroads; So per cent OF us
telephone and telegraph facilities; Sc per cent OF
its developed water powers; 76 per cent OF us au
tomobiles; 33 per cent of its radio broadcasting
stations, and more than Al per cent OF Its radlo
receiving SETS
In the United States are produced 60 per cent
of the worlds oil; 4S per cent of the copper; AZ
per cent of the pig iron AT per cent of the STEEL
So per cent of the corn; and, prior to the coming
of the AAA, Sc per cent of the cotton.
As compared with the most advanced countries
in Europe, we have twice the number of home own
ers per thousand of population; we consume four
times as much electricity, and we have seven times
as many automobiles per thousand OF population
With only seven per cent of the worlds popula-
ton, the people of this country have achieved
standard of living so much higher than other coun-
tries that we consume half of the worlds coffee,
half of its rubber, one-fourth of its sugar, three
fourths of it's silk, one-third of its COAL and two
thirds of its petroleum.
Verify, the statistics available to support falth
in private capitalism are abundant and invincble,
but it is wise in the meantime, to take into account
the evils that have been allowed to creep in and
the vices and denies that easily to be reclted
as the splendour of these achievements.
These. we must consent, are the fault of the hu-
man factor and not the mistake of the principle OF
private capitalism.
Wisdom dictates therefore, that the sensible pro-
cedure by which to protect the principle is to pro-
vide sufficient remedies to take care of the human
factors that tend to prostitute the principle-The

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BOTH IN AGREEMENT

Former Governor Lowden of Illinois is, perhaps,
among the half dozen best informed statesmen in
America as to agricultural conditions and needs
and legislative reforms.
The Republican party to which he ardently be-
longs never dares take a position or matters ap-
pertaining to agriculture without calling him into
consultation.
1t may have no particular use for him IN any
other capacity: in fact, it may repudate his views
on other questions but on issues concerning agri-
culture, he is their Apostle Paul.
1t is significant, therefore, that when Governor
Landon, the nominee of the Republican party for
the presidency sought expert advice as to what
should be his position and that of his party on ag-
ricultural issues, he singled out former Governor
Lowden, eminent in his influence in his party for
sound counsel.
As result it would seem that the best that
Governor Lowden could offer is no more nor less
than what Secretary Wallace of the New Deal ad-
ministration has already proposed.
The two party platforms take practically an
identic position on methods of meeting the nations
agricultural needs Mr.. Lowden having furnished
the program of Governor Landon-both are strong
" in favor of bounties and in other words, eager
" solicitous for the agricultural vote-Charlotte
Observer.

UNCLE SAM HIS STEWARD

Captain Adolphus Station of the United States
Navy, Mrs Station, and their eight-year-old daugh-
ter Lucy were in Chapel Hill for short visit few
days ago. Captain Station told me of how his daugh-
ter had been impressed by the contrast between
the life at home and the life of navy officer on
one of Uncle Sans men-o-war.
From our modest house or apartment the three
of us would drive down to the pier, early IN the
morning, in the family Ford ne said "A motor
launch from the ship would meet us. One of the
men on it would help me with my bag, and an
other would hand me newspaper, and l would
wave the family goodbye and move off over the
water in an atmosphere of splendor. Then Mrs.
Station and Lucy would go back home, and, If there
was not servant, which was sometimes the ease'
Mrs Station would cook breakfast. One evening
when came home Mrs Station told me that Lucy
had asked her: Mother why is it that Father is so
rich and we are so poor?"-Chapel Hill Weekly.

Some persons are so eager about
getting the right thing done, and
seeing to it that it is done, that
they annul their efforts. They are
like the child who plants seeds and
digs them up every so often to
see whether they are growing.
Do your work sincerely. Plant
your seeds of good effort cOnsci-
entiously. Tend your ideals care

states are standing firm for
Roosevelt.
The big doubtful states arc New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, and Michigan.
Democratic money will be
poured into Pennsylvania, prob
ably more heavily than into any
other state. The high command is
certain Roosevelt won't lose the
country if he can carry that ira
ditional Republican stronghold.
NEW YORK would be even more
~ important than Pennsylvania
if Roosevelt could be sure of his
home state. But current opinion
among the presidents political adj
viSerS is that Pennsylvania is a
slightly better bet
Pennsylvania, plus states now
apparently sure to go Democratic,
would give Roosevelt the neces-
sary 266 electoral votes or more.
An authentic inside survey rough
ly shows that if Roosevelt gets the
solid south, the Pacific Coast, the
border states, and a couple of
mountain states he will be over
the top-if he can get Pennsyl-
'vania. ..
THE spectacle of a candidate
l. winning a plurality of the pop
ular vote and losing the presi-
dency through defeat in the cleo
toral college isn't anything you see
very often. But it can happen
very easily, especially if there's
third party ticket at large.
So far it has happened only to
Democratic candidates and it
could happen only to Roosevelt
this year, since enormous Demo-
cratic majorities in the south can
pile up a popular vote which may
be discounted by close results in
blk grlorthern states. !

There are floors to be swept and
polished. There is furniture to be
busted and rubbed. There is wood
work to be frightened and win
dowpanes to be FURNISHED. There
are furnaces to be tended. There
are light bulbs to be cleaned.
Porches to steps to be swept.
There are lawns to be cut and
Wecded. There are flowers to be
cared for. There are automobiles
to be washed and polished.
Of course there are not so many
chores as in the homes of old.
But, on the other hand, there are
not so many children as in the
homes of old. There are still plen-
ty of chores to go around.
Here actually is the truth about
today'S chore question: 1t is cas-
len for the grown folks to do the
present-day chores themselves than
to make the present-day children
do them-which is all right for
the grown folks but all wrong for
the young folks.
The children of today, like the
children of days bygone, need the
discipline and the instruction of
doing chores-just as they need
the discipline and instruction of
doing school work. 1t would be
easier for the parents to do their
children's home work for them
than to teach the children to do it
for themselves. But what good
would that do the children? While
it is harder to make the children
do the chores now available the
grown folks should take enough
time and effort to make the chill
dren do such chores properly fol-
the children's own good.

an ante-bellum fortune through
the New Orleans cotton exchange
to an unknown European bank
failed here yesterday. Henry

in New Orleans. The grandfather
placed the money in a European
bank before he died. The bank

there is not even wood to be cut
and brought in.
Well, what of it? How did any
body get the idea that chores con-
sisted only of the foregoing activ-
tiles?
The modern home, even in the
heart of the city, presents endless
chores to be done. Any parent
keeping house can find plenty of
chores for any child. Every young
ster in the household can be given
his or her duties to perform. There
are tables to be set and cleared,
and to be waited on. There are
dishes to be washed and wiped.

At the conference on Marriage and the Family
held at the University of North Carolina last week,
one speaker declared that more preparation should
be made for marriage adding that this would re-
duce the work of the divorce courts. Under no
other conditions would the average man or woman
assume such solemn and binding vows without
more preparation and the wonder of it is that so
many marriages may be termed successful ones.-
