30,000 PERSONS PAY THEIR WAY TO CENTENNIAL

After it had. almost succumbed to the weather which chose the week of celebration for changing into fierce -winter, the centennial rallied Saturday night with an attendance that brought the total of paid admissions to nearly 30,000 in the Industrial exposition for the six days. The weather man received no quarter In Richmond today. He was most generally "cussed" today when this week threatened to be a beautiful one after seven days of ruining rains, fogs, winds and snow, at the time when weather is the biggest factor of suo'cess. Pageant Proves Success. The pageant had Its most successful evening Saturday night The performance went through smoothly ana was enacted with greater skill and beauty than any other night of the week. The Coliseum was packed, ifter a bad week, the close was au spicious. Great credit devolved upon the performers, particularly the danceI,, Miss Juliet Nusbaum gave an artistic Interpretation of a Hawaiian dance, wlth.Hawlian muslo, which was considered the star performance of Saturday night's pageant . Other dancers in figures with Iobs possibilities than the newly introduced steps of the Pacific Islanders, brought everything out of their parts with skill equalling professional dancers. While the city began to resume its normal appearance today with . the disappearance of concessionists and the removal of tenting and canvas walls, preparations were being made to bring the financial statement -to a close for the final settlement with the Commercial club, the booth holders, and H. B. Marks, director general. He left for Washington this afternoon to return In a few days. Receive Small Rebate. Booth holders will receive small rebate on their booths. With practically no receiptB Friday, the chance for getting back the money paid for the booths was lost. The exposition expenses are expected to be about $7,000 and one-fourth of the receipts over that will be divided among them. The stage and false work at the Coliseum was torn away today. ' Tomorrow the temporary exposition building from Eighth to Tenth street on North A street will be removed. Arches and approaches were taken away today. The outcome of the week practically made it a certainty that there will be no more middle October celebrations in Richmond. The city had the same experience with the weather five or six years ago. The latter part of September probably will be selected for the next show. EXUM HAAS GETS ADVANCED PLACE WITH' BIG FIRM Exum M.'Haas, son of E. M.

SOCIALIST GIVES PEOPLE CREDIT FOR jUR PEACE "The reason that there was no war in Mexico was because the people did not respond to the call and we did not have a large enough army to warrant our crossing the border," declared W. W. Farmer, Anderson. Socialist candt date for governor, when he spoke here Saturday night. "The prevention of war was not brought about by any diplomatic act!" - The candidate defined the Socialist stand on war. Socialists will fight when human rights are at stake but not when the issue is caused by a del mand for property rights. j "The trouble with the Public Service commission under Democratic or Republican rule is that the men who are appointed put private interests first - In their consideration. - Under socialist rule, the rights of the people would always be considered first "The Farmer's Loan act does not help. the farmer to any great extent, but it enables the banker to get ten percent on his money. The bankers buy government bonds and receive four and one-half percent interest on them. They are deposited with the government which issues green-backs to the banks. These are then loaned to the farmers by the banks at five and six percent interest. Together this makes the banker about ten per cent on his money."
