The Georgia State Fair.
mayor iiuff’s address.
Mayor’s Office, )
Macon, June 1. 1873, j
To the People of Upper and Low
er Georgia :
As you are aware, the Georgia
State Agricultural Society will hold
its next annual Fair at this place,
commencing on the 27th day ot Oeto
her.
Every true Georgian is justly proud
of his native State—rich in minerals
as it is varied in soil—wealthy, indeed,
in all that should constitute a people
prosperous and happy. We have here
that diversity of products and peculiar
adaptation of the various sections to
the different industrial pursuits which
combine to make up the natural ele
ments sufficient for an Empire. In
agriculture, as in everything else, har
monious concert of action strengthens
and supports eacli section of the State.
Lower Georgia has her peculiar intei -
terest to foster and protect, and her
great strength to boast of. The same
may be said of upjicr and middle
Georgia. The city of Macon occupies
a grand central position geographical
ly, and her citizens have provided
within her limits fair grounds and
equipments equal, if not superior, to
any in the United States, for the ac
commodation of visitors and for the
exhibition of any and every article
winch may be brought here for show.
The Executive Committee and mem
bers of the State Agricultural Society
have evinced a determination to make
this next the great Fair of the State.
The handsome and liberal premium
list now being circulated throughout
the State speaks for itself. An ex
animation of its pages will convince
every one that the Society means bu
siness. But the “county displays” are
looked forward to as the prominent
and great leading features of the Fair
and will doubtless present a grand
panoramic view of each comity and
section such as lias never before been
witnessed by the people of Georgia.
The purpose of this appeal is there
fore, to invite and urge every county
in the State, if possible, to be repre
seated in some way, so that we may
have no blanks in the picture.
To do this is a plain patriotic duty;
a duty which if zealously performed,
will conduce to the prosperity and
success of every county in the State,
without any regard whatever as to
which gets the Siooo premium offer
ed. This premium will, of course, go
to the county which shall furnish the
“ largest and finest display.” But, as
will be seen by reference to the pre
mium list, there are three other hand
some premiums to be distributed
among other counties, as folows :
A premium of five hundred dollars
to the county making the second best
display.
A premium of three hundred dol
lars to the county making the third
best display ; and
A premium cf two hundred dollars
to the county making the fourth best
display.
There are now three prominent
counties in the State which are known
to be bending and concentrating all
their vast powers and resources upon
this contest—one in Upper Georgia,
one in Middle Georgia, and one in
Southwestern Georgia. Other coun
ties will report progress, and enter
the list for competition at the next
meeting of the Society, to be held in
Athens next month.
But while the foregoing county
prizes are intended to represent the
leading features of the premium list,’
they are by no means the most attrac
tive. The city of Macon has united !
with the Societv in the effort to pre- 1
sent a list of rewards that will not only
please but actually recompense. the ;
exhibitor for some labor and expense, I
and among others which may be
referred to with pride and satisfaction,

These are among the many premi
ums offered by the city of Macon,
and the State Agricultural Society, ag
gregating in all more than $15,000.
But it is not to the value of the pre
miums that we look for rewards.—
The exhibition promises nobler results
than this. There will be a great mor
al influence growing out of it. The
political economist will here find food
for his thoughts. The artist will scan,
with eagle eyes, the work of his peers.
The thrifty farmer, and the stock im
porter; the horticulturist—all will be
entertained, pleased and instructed.—
Here we will learn the sources of sup
ply and demand in our own State.—
Here we will learn where, in our own
Slate, each and every article is pro
duced, raised or manufactured. Our
people will here be taught where, -in
their own country, they may follow
that pursuit best suited to their inters
est and taste, without being forced to
hunt homes among strangers, as is
now too often the case. Exhibitors
from upper Georgia will here find a
market for the ready sale of much, if
not all of their perishable articles at
full, remunerative prices. In addition
to all this, much general good must
necessarily grow out of these reunions
of so many of the thinking and work
ing men and women of the country.—
The spirit of true State pride is fans
ned into new life by these meetings,
and we forget, as it were, our individ
ual misfortunes over our mutual suc
cess. Let us then devote one week
iu next October to the very profitable
work of meeting and discussing the
important agricultural and commer
cial interest of the day. Let it be a
week devoted purely to the explosion
of false theories and putting intoprac
tical operation the sate, sound busi
ness ideas of the times. Among other
things, let us prove, by the variety
and merits of our exposition, the great
an I absolute danger and folly of look
ing to railroads, rivers or canals for re
lief from “hard times.” Let our Fair
in October be the only argument ad
duced by us to prove the utter fallacy
of the grand idea, that ignus fatns,
called cheap transportation, which has
so suddenly become the all absorbing
theme among men in search of relief.
For it may in time—indeed, it has ah
ready—become a serious question
with thoughtful, observing men
whether we have not now too much
transportation. Our seeming advan
tages may sometimes become oui great
est misfortune. That which ofttimes is
a convenience is not always a blessing.
It may become a vital necessity for
us to inquire whether or not these
immense railroad lines—traversing
and corduroying, as they do, our
country from mountain to seaboard—
are reallr feeding or absorbing us ?
That transportation which fosters and
encouraged our improvidence while it
depletes our pockets, may be the
transportation least of all others want
ed in this country. And the object
tions now so strongly urged against
our railroad system might not be en
tirely overcome by these proposed
water lines. It is not, however the
practicability of these grand schemes
for reducing freigths that we must
stop now to consider—for no matter
how feasible they may be, Georgia is
in no condition to wait their comple
tion. The emergency—bread—is up
on us, and we must go to work to
day. We must teach our boys, by
precept and example, that the great
virtue of life and the necessity of the
age is to be found in the truth of the
old Latin maxim, “Labor omnia vin
cii." The people of Georgia should
never pe dependent upon auy line or
transportation for the meat and bread,
the hay and the fertilizers used upon
their farms. Such a policy wiir bank
rupt and starve out any people in the
world. Show me a man with a fat
smoke house and a well filled barn,
and I show you a man who is not
affected by low priced cotton or high
transportation. On the other hand,
point me to that farmer with a lean
smoke house and an empty corn crib,
and I will show you a miserably poor
and mistaken wretch, whose depen
dent and destitute condition can nev
er be reached by high-priced cotton,
or received in any way by cheap trans
portation. The truth is, we have
been betting our bottom dollars so
long on three fatal cards, called, cred
it, ‘cotton’ and ‘catapiilar,’ that we
now have nothing left us but our
mules and lands ; and in seven cases
out of ten these are pledged to some
warehouse firm for supplies to make
this year’s crop with. And yet in the
face of all this crouching poverty and
embarrassment, we learn from the
newspapers of the country that more
land is planted in cot ton this year than
last, or even any year since the war.
No wonder, then, that we should be
crying out tor more transportation.
Fifteen years ago, when I commenc
ed the produce business in Macon,
my little orders for grain and meat
seldom went farther west than the
fertile lulls of Cherokee, Georgia, and
the narrow valleys in East Tennessee.
I had time then to write and send
letters for these supplies and wait the
return of quotations before buying.—
I, with other merchants, purchased
there, at our leisure, all that was nec
essary to supply the wants of Middle
and Southwestern Georgia. Now we
send our immense orders by telegraph
ic wires to the rich fields and broad
plains of Illinois and Missouri; and if,
by any chance or ill luck, a railroad
bridge is burned or a transfer boat is
sunk and a little blockade occurs en
route , a panic ensues and a meat,
bread and hay famine at once threat
ens every man and beast south of
Chattanooga. This is our miserably
poor and helpless condition to-day —
fearful and unreasonable as it may ap
pear to outsiders. But that annual
deficiency of fifty millions of bushels
of grain in the four States of Georgia,
Alabama, Florida and South Carolina,
commented upon so gravely by the
late Canal Convention in Atalanta,
tells the whole story. We have sud
denly awakened, as it were, from a
deep sleep and discovered the unwel
come fact that we are a poor, thrift
less, non-producing, all-consuming,
dependent people. And just so long
as the farmers and planters of Georgia
pursue their present mad policy of
buying fertilizers to make cotton to
buy corn, bacon and hay with, and
then pay two per cent, a month for
money from April to November each
year to run this wild schedule, just so ;
long will they will be fitiable beggars
and borrowers at the doors of trans
portation offices and Georgia shaving
siiops, provided a worse fate does
not speedily overtake them.
The truth is, the whole country has
- become one common counting room
' and huge gambling shop. What we
once did with ihe axe and the hoe,
the plowshare and the reaping hook,
we now seek to accomplish by strate-
Igy and. chance, credit and specula
tion. And we must, sooner or later,
come back to the first principles or we
must perish. We have too many
able bodied young man in shady
places; too much tape cutting and
pin selling and too little cotton chop
ping and hay curing; too many yard
sticks thrown around loose on smooth
top counters and not enough hoe
handles and plow stocks ; too many
law books and lager beer barrels in
proportion to the rail splitting and
ditch digging ; too ranch foolish sash
ion and foppery, and not enough
sledge hammers and saw horses—in
a word, too much icholesale idleness,
Georgia lias to-day, buried in the
rich bosom of her varied soil and
precious mineral beds, greater wealth
and grander results than can ever be
worked out by canal projects of Con
gressional enterprises. And how is it
to be done ? Not by dreamy theories
and mythical plans, but in talking
corn instead of canal—in disversifying
and developing our own vast resourc
es—in writing more about home, ef
fort and less about foreign immigra
tion—in planting less cotton and
manufacturing more yarns. In this
and this only, lies the great secret of
Georgia’s success—agricultural as
well as financial and commercial.—
We are immensely rich in resources
but miserably poor in the handling of
them. What we want is work—hon
est, hard fisted, intelligent, well di
rected toil, labor and application in
developing and utilizing what we
have here at home rather than so
many spasmodic offorts to bring from
abroad that which we we should ?iot
buy. Our poverty, like our pride, is
the result of misapprehension and
mistaken ideas of ourselves, of our
country and of each other. The abs
olition of slavery in the South has
developed a vast world of sickly, senti
mental, lazy, indolent, stupefied, inert
and unapt population—a population
of young and middle-aged men, some
ot whom have known better days.—
These men put on old store clothes,
hang around dirty grogshops and
dingy hotels, smoke cheap cigars and
drink main whisky, affect old habits
and anti war style, talk politics a lit
tie and curse destiny and free negroes
more, tret and fume over the result
of the late war. write and sign up
mortgage liens on their cotton crops
before they arc planted, pay two per
cent, interest on money for nine
months in the year and then promise
to pay annually in the fall more money
per acre tor commercial manures to
scatter over their lands than some of
them originally cost.
And, finally, when inattention to
business and general bad policy and
mismanagement have brought them
and their State to the extremity of
desperation—when ruin and bank
ruptcy stare us all in the face—we is
sue proclamations, call public meet
ings, invite distinguished gentleman
from abroad to come here and syin
pathize with us. We meet in ban
quet balls, drink much champagne
and discharge more gas over the
great and absorbing question of canal
schemes, Congressional aid and cheap
transportation, than was ever expend
ed by our forefathers in discussing
the Declaration of American Inde
pendence. And what docs it avail ?
Will these idle and extravagant
demonstrations ever work out the
great problem of Georgia independ
ence 1 ? No! Never until labor decomes
popular will money get easy. Never,
untill we feed fancy less, and learn to
fatten chickens and hogs more, will
want disappear and plenty step in.—
When these plain secrets of life shall
have been learned, when the wild
mania for speculation slvall have de
parted from our farm houses and
plantations, when our planters shall
learn from experience to abandon
Wall street brokers and “cotton fu
tures,” and come to deal more directly
in the productions of square little
“spots” of potatoes and corn, when
agriculture shall become the ruling
feature and controlling interest in our
State—then, and not until then, w ill
we become an independent, prosper
ous and happy people. And we have
here iu Georgia all the elements uec
essary to this great end. Here God
has blessed us with everything essen
tial to the prosperity and growth of
man or beast, if only worked out.—
Everything, from a chicken or a
churn to a cotton field and a coal bed,
from a ground pea patch on the sand
hills to a gold mine in the mountains.
These are among the rich, rare and
multiplied resources of Georgia;
these constitute our strength, our
refuge and our power.
Think of it, farmeis of Middle
Georgia ! Here we are, iu the heart
of the Empire State, the boasted
owners of Lands without stiut blessed.
with a climate and soil where two
crops of grain or two of potatoes, or
| one each ol pea vines and hay can
|be successfully grown on the same
land the same year, and yet we go to
Baltimore to buy guano to make a
little cotton to sell in New York to
get money to buy hay, oats and corn
away in the rich States of Kentucky,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. And
just so long as wc are voluntary
patrons of produce dealers, heartless
rings and pampered monopolies, such
as now own and control, operate and
direct our only trade lines and trans
portation north, south and west, just
so long will we be lit subjects for
lien-drafts and homestead laws, mort
gages and repudiation. The South
must work out her own independence.
The remedy is ours, if we will only
apply it. Too often have we been
beguiled by plausible schemes for
great improvements and financiel re
lief. Let us no longer be lulled into a
false security by any promises which
can be made, outside of our harvest
fields and hog puis, our hay
patches and cane mills. It is here we
shall find it. To this end the State
Agricultural Society throws open the
door her Exposition halls, offers her
premium lists to the public, and in
vites competition from every section of
the country.
It may sometimes suit the interests
of small politicians to exeite sectional
antagonisms in the State ; blit no such
petty jealousy is to be found in the
heads and hearts of those engaged in
the industrial pursuits. All are ex
pected at the Fair in October. Macon
unites with the State Agricultural So
ciety in a cordial invitation to every
county in the State to be represented
It will impart new life, vigor and en
ergy to every industry; it will dissem
inate knowledge and culture among
the great masses of the people; it will
kindle a lofty emulation among the
working classes: it will present one
vast field for testing theories and try
ing conclusions; it will cement us, as a
people, in the bonds of fraternal un
ion, and none should be deterred from
fear of deleat—for the triumph of
one will be the triumph of all, and
there will be no rejoicing over any
defeat.
From the ladies we expect much—
yes, almost thing. Without
their kindly aid and handiwork we
shall have no Floral Hall, and with
out that pleasing feature in perfection
the Fair can never be a grand success.
The good women of our country sav
ed us here two years ago—without
their timely efforts the Fair of 1871
would have been an immense failure.
Their hearty co-operation now is all
we want to insure success.
Let us then unite in one mighty
effort to throw togethger, in one com
mon display, the grand and aggregate
specimen resources of our proud old
commonwealth. Let it be sucli an ex
position of our pride and our strength;
such an evidence of our skill and taste,
our genius and our energy, and espe
cially of our love for agriculture and
our homes, as shall challenge, in kind
ness, the competition of the South,
while it excites the envy and admira
tion of the world. W. A. Huff,
Mayor of the city of Macon.
To Young Men.— A good reputa
tion is not made in a day. It takes
years of uprightness, industry and
honesty. A vonng man must abstain
from all liceutious practices. He
must not think cf spending his leis
ure hours at the gambling, or the bil
liard room ; for if he forms a desire
for such evil practices, they are sure
to ruin him for business and for life.
His earnings will be spent at the card
table or squandered at licentious
houses. Intemperance, dissipation
and discredit follow with their tram
of evils; and in a short time he is
ruined in the eyes of the public, in
the eyes of his own sinful companions,
and fitted only for drunken brawls and
disgraceful riots. —HawJcinsville Dis
