THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
TO PAY OLD DEBT
Total Admissions' Reached
90,000, With $50,000
Receipts.
All the debts incurred from last
year's fair will be paid and a part of
the guarantee fund raised by the peo
ple of Atlanta for the fair this year will
be returned.
That Is the record of success made
by the great state fair of 1907. .
Secretary Frank Weldon and his as
sistants are now going over the books
and are preparing a statement of this
success in figures, and it will show that
the fair just closed was one of the most
successful in the history of Georgia.
While the returns from the railroads
for coupon admission tickets have not
vet been received, it has been ascer
tained by Secretary Weldon that there
were approximately 90,000 admissions
to the fair. The receipts from all
sources will aggregate something like
950,000 and n force of clerks is now
ascertaining what was paid out.
The fair was held this year In order
to make up for the losses of last year
and this has been more than done. All
these debts of 1906 will be paid by the
receipts in 1907. This means that part
of the fund raised for the fair will be
returned to thoso who contributed.
This was not expected. For those
who gave their money to hold a fair
this year did not do so with an idea of
getting this money back or a dividend
itheir money. They contributed this
money to bring people to Atlanta, help
the city and In that manner help the
baslnsss people and the people at large.
A Permanent Fair?
And for that same reason it is prob
able that the merchants of Atlanta will
launch a movement to bring the fair
here again next year and possibly to
make the state fair a permanent feature |
In Atlanta,
But this can not be done if the build
ings at Piedmont park are torn down,
as is now the program of council. Many
merchants and other business men of
Atlanta are In favor of allowing these
buildings to stand and still have Pled
mont park for a plensure ground for the
people. It Is pointed out that there Is
plenty of room at Piedmont park for
both fair grounds and a pleasure park
and that there is no necessity for the
destruction of the fair buildings,
this Is done It will put Atlanta out of
the running for the state fair agt
adequate fair grounds would cost
tune.
In Nashville $100,000 was spent on
the purchase of fair grounds and hand
some buildings wero added. This Is
what Nashville thinks of the value of a
state fair to Nashville. Louisville con
tributed $100,000 toward getting the
state fair located the.
Benefit to City.
That the fair Is of benefit to Atlanta
has been testified to by the business
men. The bank clearings for last week
were a half million dollars more than
for the same week last year when there
was no fair.
All of the exhibitors at the fair this
year are more than pleased and many
of them sold out all the stock they had
on exhibition. Others told of meeting
more new customers than ever before
and they expect their business to be
Increased correspondingly.
It Is probable that a movement to
have the fair hero permanently and to
save the buildings at Piedmont park
will be launched In the near future by
Atlanta merchants.

DENT'S STRUGGLE
ENDS IN HIS DEATH
Cose No. 618 Is closed.
And with Its closing hy the Asso

college graduate and cocaine fiend. Is
ended.
Press dispatches told Sunday how an
Atlanta painter named Dent swallowed
a bottle of morphine and a bottle ot
strychnine In a drug store at Elba,
Ala., after driving the clerks out with
a razor. It looked like zulclde, but It
Is believed by Secretary Logan of the
Associated Charities that Dent was
Just erased by lack of cocaine and In
Ms anslety swallowed strychnine with
tho morphine.
Dent left Atlanta on September 4,
after being released from the Tower,
where he was kept for several weeks In
an effort to get him awny from cocaine
and morphine. When he left here ho
said he was through with the dendly
drugs and had no thoughts for any
thing except his wife and four little
children.
Before he left he graphically de
scribed the horrors of tho habit to The
Georgian, and told what he had suf
fered when the drug was taken away
from him.
Because of his habit Dent’s family
often came under the care of the city
warden and the Associated Charities.
