Fair Management Places
School Day At New Peak
Greatly Enlarged Midway Thronged With Adults and
Children for Big Holiday; Tomorrow Is Last Day of
1893 Fair, and Big Crowd ID Expected

Another big crowd was anticipated
tonight, and the fair will come to a
close tomorrow night. A feature Fri
day night will be the Queens beauty
contest, when the beauty queen will
be announced. All of the contestants
will display themselves on the stage
where free acts are given. A form
of cash prizes were announced to be
distributed tonight.
Fireworks every night constitute q
feature of the fair, and the Henderson
high school band has delighted the
crowds two nights thus far.
Officials of the fair were much
pleased today with the results of the
attendance and the volume of bust
ness on Wednesday. Mr.. Hight said
the extent of the Midway had been
greatly enlarged this year, and that
even the enlarged space had at times
been somewhat taxed to accommodate
the crowds that had thronged the en-
closure.
Ideal weather has prevailed for the
entire week so far, except for the
chilly atmosphere Monday and Tues
day nights. That condition, despite
the clear weather, had reduced the
attendance somewhat on those oc-
casions. But the weather had mod
Grated markedly by Wednesday, and
the sun shined all day. 1t was rea-
sonably comfortable in the evening.
Prospects were for another large
crowd at the fair tonight, and the
Queens contest Friday night, the last
of the week, is relied on to draw
others on that occasion.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-10-06

Wednesdays attendance at the
Golden Belt Fair exceeded any day
in the fairs history, c. M. Hight, Sec
rotary, said today, adding that it was
q wholly orderly crowd, with scarcely
b drunk in sight, and with no COM
blaints of any kind to officers OF
koughness from any source.
1t was school day at the fair, with
all white schools in the city and
county having half holiday to permit
faculty and pupils to attend. All chill
dren were admitted free if they OBJ
tanned their tickets from their teach
ers, and nearly all of them did.
Everything at the fair operated in
full blast. The exhibit hall was crowd
ed most of the time as the, throngs
milled through to see an array of ex-
hibits generally conceded to be the
best that the fair has offered ia
years. There are more of them and
they are of higher quality.
The amusements and shows of the
Midway operated at full blast most
of the afternoon and the evening un-
til late hour.

Isaac Gill Giuen IS Years

Second Degree Murder Yer dict Returned by Jury After

spring of Charles E. Williams, also

when testimony was all in. Solicitor
E. r. Tyler refused to accept the
plea, however, and preferred to sub

Third Venire Is Called
To Complete Bracy Jury
Two Groups of Fifty Men Each Exhausted and One
More Man Was Still Need ed Late This Afternoon;
Defendant Accused of Williamson Staying

After exhausting two venires of
fifty men each, the jury still lacked
one man of being complete at 4
o'clock this afternoon for the trial
of Clarence Bracy, Negro, for the
Staying of William Ham Williamson,
65-year-old Townsville farmer, at his
tobacco barn month ago.
The third venire of 25 men was
drawn by order of Judge r. Hunt
Parker to report at 4:3O p. M, and a
night session was in prospect in order
to facilitate the trial.
A special venire of fifty men had
been drawn to report at the opening
of court in the early morning. This
group was exhausted with only five
men seated at the hour of the lunch
con recess at noon. A second venire
of fifty summoned to report at 2:30
p. m. was quickly exhausted also, and
the third, of %, was then summoned.
Bracy admitted at the time of his
arrest that he dubbed Mr.. William
son as he lay asleep at his tobacco
barn near Townsville, and implicated
lobe Henderson, another Negro.
Bracy is reported to have repudiated
the confession. DR.. j. w. Ashby, sup
erintendent of the State Hospital in
Raleigh, came here yesterday and
gave the Negro a sanity test, and is
reported to have concluded he was
of very low mentality, but of suffici-
ent intelligence to know right from
wrong.
Solicitor E. R. Tyler is being as

counsel. The State will press for a
first degree murder verdict.
The first venire, which reported at
the opening of court in the morning,
was called from throughout the coun-
ty. The second, reporting in the after
noon, came from Kittrell, Middleburg,
Sandy Creek and Watkins townships,
and it was understood the third group
of % was called from citizens of Hen
derson township alone.
It was expected that the twelfth
juror needed would be seated by late
afternoon, whereupon taking of tes-

WITHIN THE RANGE OF wIsTFULNEss

The wish of the classroom teachers association
Of the South Piedmont district for the addition of
the ninth month to the state school SYSTEM is not
generally shared by the public, even though OBJ
viously, much is to be said in the defense of such
an accretion.
In the agricultural centerS of the state, prevail
ingly in the east and to more less general ex-
tent elsewhere there is little demand for this ad
dition
One can understand the reason for that at once,
The services of so many of the children are so
needed on the farms that it is diqieut to obtain a
fair enrolment of all the pupils even for the pres
ent eight months which the state system provides.
Certainly this newspaper is not disposed to quar-
rel with any factor in our educational enterprise
which would tend to Increase the efficiency of the
public schools. a-. . -
And the addition of the ninth month would, quite
palpably, offer ninth more schooling than is now
available. 'r.s
The fly in the intment, however, has to do Meth
er with the desrabiiy nor the necessity for such,
as the case may be viewed
The particular fly has to do with the available
resources necessary for such an Improvement
The state does not have the funds which such
an increase in the school term would require.
The ninth month would cost at least 100000
And that just about ends the argument for the
time being-Charlotte Observer.

COMMUNISTS

Something of what is in the Communist mind
with regard to world revolution is suggested by the
recent statement of one N Krusheff Communist
party secretary for the Ukraine, that: "If the en-
envy jumps on us we would do everything to make
the victory of the proletariat triumph all the
world forever"
That apparently is what Communist leadership is
hoping and working for, that some enemy will
jump on them, and furnish the excuse for touching
off the spark that will set the world aire. Often
they have seemed to be trying to provoke some
people or nation to make that jump.
Their people have been diligently taught to cx-
pect it from some part of the 'capitalistic" world
Their leaders know better, of course; and so they
are diligently trying to provoke trouble all over the
world which will create conditions that may pro-
vide them with the excuse for starting the world
holocaust. =. -
1t is, foolish, of course, to be looking for Red
behind every tree but it is still more foolish to try
to delude ourselves into the belief that such things
as these are merely bogeys set up in our magma
lions.
We know all this is in the Communist program.
The only question is when they will expect to start
the revolution.
Which makes it incumbent upon us to be ready
whenever the lightning strikes-Rock Hill IS. c.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
HITLER'S PEACE

Adolf Hitler yesterday served notice in effect
that if there is peace, it will continue TO exist
nurelv on condition that he gets what he wants at
averv step. Mr. Chamberlain's whole scheme of
"pacifcation" was slapped contemptuously in the
fa,o with the declaration that Mussolini is ''the
only real friend we possess" and with the warm
inc that "the internal construction of England
and France make it possible for friends of peace"
,;ke Chamberlain and Daadier to be thrown out of
nower anv day. to be replaced by "a Duff Cooper
~ Eden or Churchill" The last is equivalent to
saving that the only English and French govern
ments he would really trust in an agreement would
no governments which had themselves been pro-
Nazfed.
1t is interesting, nevertheless. to observe that
oven Hitler feels it necessary continually to assure
his people that he really Graves peace and that the
only reason he would go to war would be to pro
tect,, Germany One of the things the late crisis
nroved concusively is that the German people
themselves for all their military spirit" do not
real,v want modern war, And with very good rea-
SON It has been Germany's habit since 1870 to
ASbt her wars on other peoples territory. But If
war came with France and England now, Germany,
as every sensible German knows, would promptly
oct hitter dose of her own medicine. Instead of
enjoying, with Italy and Japan an exclusive iran
chise to murder babies abroad, she would have to
pay for bombing planes over Paris and London
with bombing planes over Berlin
The threat of such war might be the best real
of peace in Europe, if only the minds of
all Germans were not so wholly at the mercy of
Htler's propaganda machine.--Charlotte News.

LIFE DAY BY DAY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

But after one has passed his
life among the savagcs, what has
it profited him? What has he ac-
complishcd? What has he learned?
Probably he dies exactly where he
started or below it.
The white mans civilization of
fers opportunities to rise which
never appear in primitive life;
for the primitive life has as its
principal objective the welfare of
the body, while the white mans
civilization takes full cognizance
of the Importance of the develop
ment of the soul and its relation
to God and Eternity. 1t is the
white mans God in his civilization
that makes it worthwhile.
sThe great trouble with. the
white mans civilization is that
the white man too often fails to
live up to his own standards. And
in that respect the white man
could well copy the savage who
usually does live up to such stan
dards as he has.
