MOMMi, WCiUtlEll a, J957. 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.

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.
