STATE FAIR TO BE SUCCESS
There will be no evidences of the
war at the annual Georgia State
Pair, which will start in Macon on
November third. In fact, the pros
pects for the fair are the most bril
liant in the history of the association.
The Georgia State Fair, like the other
fairs in this country, are decidely in
fiavor of peace. We will do every
thing possible, to show to our numer
ous visitors, that, “Flour and Meal
Barrels”are better than“Gun Barrels’’
that tilling and harvesting machin
ery, are preferable to war machinery.
All of the great fairs in this country,
are showing that the fairs build up,
what the wars tear down. Special
days for the fair are now being ar-
nanged.
Ample funds in the bank assure the
fall and prompt payment of the $12,-
MO which will be distributed in priz-
aa, and prospective exhibitors need
m
,ve any fear on that account.
The contracts already signed
dicate that the various exhibits this
year will break all records for num
ber and variety. The woman’s work
and art building is due to be crowded
from floor to dome with interesting
displays of the artistic talent and
handcraft of the gentler sex. The
agriculture building has been enlarg
ed by the city of Macon for the ac
commodation of the growing number
of county and individual agriculture
exhibits. Twenty counties will com
pete for the large prizes. The cattle
show will be the finest ever assembl
ed in Georgia. The showing of beef
cattle will be particularly timely, be
cause of the development of this in
dustry in the state and the necessity
of the farmer to raise more cattle as
an off-set to the cotton situation. Ex
tra stalls have also been provided for
the swine entries, and the prizes in
this department have been propor
tionately increased.
The fair association has contract
ed for six days of racing, entailing
the disbursement of $6,000 in prizes
to the best trotters. Some of the
fastest horses of the country will be
here.
The poultry show this year, by
special request of the exibitors, will
last less than a week. Hfoweveir,
there will be more coops than ever
before and a more diverse showing.
The management has closed con
tracts with some of the most desir
able midway attractions to be found
in the United States, and the mid
way this year will without doubt be
the largest and best "ever organized
for a state fair in the South. An ad
ditional amusement feature sure to
be largely patronized is the mamouth
roller coaster, the Big Half Mile Joy
Ride, erected near the Park entrance.
$65,000 EXPENDED ON RIVER.
Instead of passing a Rivers and
Harbors bill in the usual form, con
gress appropriated a lump sum of
$20,000,000 which is to be expended in
accol-dance with allotments '‘made
by the secretary of war upon the, re
commendation of the chief of en
gineers.” It is interesting to note
that the same men who criticized the
army engineers most severely, in
dicating by implication if not by
direct charge, that they are either
corrupt or inefficient, voted to put
Ihis large sum into the hands of those
engineers to be expended just as they
please, the only limitation being that
no new projects are to be undertaken
and that the money allotted to the
Mississippi River shall be expended
in accordance with the plans of the
Mississippi River Commission.
The allotments have been made,
and $313,000 is to be expended in
Georgia, the principle item of which
I represent the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co., of New
York, the largest in the world.

THE PAINTER IN THE SKY.
The Sun is a Painter; at break of day
He mixes his colors so bright and gay.
The sky is his canvass; a back ground
of blue
Which be touches and colors with
many a hue.
The clouds are jealous that he passes
them by
So they gather together and cover
the sky.
But the brightness breaks through
the mist and rain •
And the sunlit picture we see again.
The hours of evening he loves the
best
So he tints them fairer than all the
rest.
'Till human painters and poets vie
To catch the color of the painted sky.
So when ’tis finished and fades the
, light,
ie pauses, just at the portal of night.
And lingering, looks as he steals
away
At his masterpiece, a perfect day.
