THE GEORGIA. STATE FAIR.
Mayor llnfl's Add re—.

Maoov, Jdov 1,1873
To tXt People of Upper and Lottor Georgia:
A* yon »r. aware, tbe Georgia 814te Agricul
tarsi Sod.tr will bold it* next annual F»ir
till* plaoe, commencing on tb. 2 < lb day of Oo-
lobs
Every trna Georgian ia jnatly proud of hi*
Bitire State—Hob in minerals m it U varied *
Boil*wealthy, indeed, in all that should oonati
tote a people prosperous and happy. We hare
here that diverwity of production and peculiar
adaptation of the virion* aeotiona to the dif
ferent indcrtrial pursuits which combine
make np the natural clementa anAoient for &n
Empire. In agriculture, as in everything else,
harmonious concert of notion strengthen* and
nupportii each section of the State. Lower
Georgia L.n her peculiar interest to forte y and
protect and hor great strength to boast of.
The same may be said of upper and middle
Georgia. The city of Macon occupies a grand
central position goographioally, and her oiti
zena hare provided within her limits fair
gronndssnd equipment? equal, if not superior,
to any in the United States, for the accommo
dation of vUitora and for tho exhibition of any
and every artiole which may be brought
here for ahow. The Executive Committee
and members of tbe State Agricultural Society
have evinoed a determination to make this next
the great Fair of the State. The handsome and
llberkl prermnm list now being circulated
throughout the Stale speaks for itself. An ex-
amlna’iou of Its pages will oonvinoe every one
that the Society means bo*in<vn. But Ilia
41 county displays" are looked forward to as the
promlnrxit and great leading features of the Fair,
and will doubtless present a grand panoramic
▼lew of each oounty and aeotlon such — has
never before been witnessed by tho peoplo of
Georgia. The purpoaes of this Appeal are,
therefore, to invite and urge every oounty in
the btate, if possible, to be represented In some
way, so that we may have no blanks in the pic-
tare. To do this is a plain, patriotic doty; i
duty which, if zealously performed, will oon-
duce to the prosperity and auooewi of every
county in tho Elate, witbont any regard what
ever as to whloh gets tbe $1000 premium of
fered. This preminm will, of oourse, go to the
oonnty which shall famish the “ largest and
and finest display.” Bat, as will be seen by
reference to the premium list, there are three
other handsome premiums to be distributed
among other oouotles, as follows:
A preminm of $500 to the connly making tb®
second best display.
A preminm of $300 to the oonnty making the
third beet display; and
A premium of $200 to the oonniy making the
fourth best display.
There are now three prominent counties In
the Siato which am known to be bending and
concentrating ail their vaet powers and resour*
on* npon this great contest—one in Upper Geor
gia, one in Middle Georgia, and one in South*
western Georgia. Other connliea will report
progress, and enter tbe list for oompetit!on at
tbe next meeting of the Society, to bo held in
Athens next month.
But while tbe foregoing oounty prizes are in
tended to represent the loading features of the
preminm list, they are by no means tho most
attractive. The city of Maoon has nnited with
the society in the effort to present a list of re
wards that will not only please hot actually
recompense the exhibitor for some labor and
aipense. And among others which may be re
ferred to with pride and satisfaction, are the

Tbeee are among the maDj premium* c ffered
by the city of Maoon, and the State Agricultu
ral Society, aggregating in all more than $15,-
000. But it is not to tbe value of the prerni-
am* th*t we look for reward*. The exhibition
pronuitea nobler results than tki*. Tdere will
be s great moral infiaence growing out of it.
The political economist will here find food for
his thought*. The artisan will scan, with eagle
•ye, tbe work of his peers. The thrifty farmer;
toe enterprising merchant; the fowl fancier,
•od tbe stock importer; the horticulturist—all
wiU be entertained, pleased and instructed.
Here we will ieara the source* of supply and
demand in our own State. n er6 W e will learn
where, in our own State, each wod every artiole
Is produced, raised or manuf aotumd. Our peo
ple will here be taught where, in their own
country, they may follow that puratm beat
suited to their in tercet and taste, witbont being
forced to hunt homes among strangers, a* »
now too often the case. Exhibitor* from Cpper
Georgia will here find a market for the ready
•ale of much, if Dot all, of their peruhable ar
ticles at full, remunerative prioes. In addition
to all this, much general good most neoossarily
grow out of these annual reunions of so many
of tbs thinking and working men and women
of the oountry. The spirit of State pride is
fanned Into new life by the** meetings, and
we forget, as it were, our indvidaol misfor
tunes In rejoicing over our mutual successes.
Let us then devote one week in next
October to the rery profitable work of
meeting and discussing the important ag
ricultural and commercial interests of the
day. Lei it be a, week devoted purely
to the explosion of false theories and
putting into practical operation tbe safe,
sound, bn rinses ideas of tbe times. Among
other things, l*t os prove., by tbe variety and
.men's of our exposition, the groat and absolute
danger and folly of looking to railroads, riven
or canal* foe relief from “hard times." Let our
• in Ootobss be tbe only argument adduced
bv to prove tbe utter fallacy of that grand
lot. - 'hat ignis faiuua, called cheap transport
ation, *b!ob has so eodoecly beoome the all-
•I-sorbing theme among men in search of relief.
For U may m time—indeed, u ha- already—be-
oom* a •cr'-'v* q new; on with thoughtful, ob
serving men, r li«Uwt we have not >w too
muoh transportation- Our seeming ad , . cages
may sometimes beoomt* our greatest misfortune.
That which Is oft-times a ooomnienoe is not ai-
«fj« a blaming. It may become a vital neeec-
stty for us to inquire whether or not these im-
ginw railroad lines—traversing ati corduroy*
lag, as they do, our oountry from mountain to
MftbMid—«r» rmUy feeding or •bwwbtag u ?,
Let ns then unite in one mighty effort
throw together, in one common display, the
grand and aggregate spec m-m resources of our
proud old oom monwealth. Let it be such an
exposition of our pride and our strength; such
an evilenoe of our skill and teste, our geom*
and our energy, aod especially of our love for
agriculture and our homes, as shall challenge
in kindne#n, the competition of the Sooth,
whib* it the envy and admiration of the
world. W. A. Butt,
Mayor of tbe oity of Maoon.
That transportation which fosters aod eooonr-
sges our improvidence while it depletes onr
pooke's, may be the transportation b-est of all
otfcer* wasted in thi* country. And tbe obje©*
tioos now so strongly urged against onr railroad
system* might not be entirely overcome by
iheae proposed water lines. It i* not, however,
tbe practicability of these grand schemes for
redooieg freights that we moat stop now

eet in onr Bute—then, and not nntil then, wil
we beoome an independent, prosperons and
happy people. And we have here In Georgia
all the elements necessary to this great end.
Here God has blessed ns with everything essen
tial to tbe prosperity snd growth of man or
beast, if only worked ont. Everything, from
a chicken and a churn to a ootton field and a
ooal bed, from a ground pea patoh on toe annd
hills to s gold mine in toe monnUlns. These
ere among the rich, rare and mnltlplied resources
of Georgia ; these constitute onr strength, onr
refuge snd onr power.
Think of it. farmery and planters of Middle
Georgia! Here we ere, in tbe heart of the
Empire State, the boasted owners of lands with
out stint, blessed with a climate and soil where
two crops of grain or two of poUtoes, or one
each of pea vines and hay can be successfully
grown on the same land toe same year, and yet
we go to Baltimore to bny guaDO to make a lit
tle cotton to sell in New York to get money to
bny hay. oats and corn away ont in the rich
States of Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and M:s-
sonrL And jnat so long as we are tbe volunta
ry patrons ct produce dealers, heartless rings
and pampered monopolies, each as now own
and control, operate and direct onr only lines of
trade and transportation north, sontb and we6t,
just so long will we be fit subject* for lien-
diftfta and homestead laws, mortgages snd re-
pndiation. The South most work ont her own
independence. The remedy is oars, if we will
only apply it. Too often have wa been beguil
ed by plausible schemes for great improve
ment* and financial reliof. Let us no longer be
n-*v inl ° * falsa security by any promises
which can \>« made, outside of our harvest
fields aod hog vaDai onr hay patches and oane
mills. It is here we shall find it. To this end
the State Agricultural Society throws open the
door* of her EzpoeiUon halls, offers her pre
mi uni lists to the public, and invitee competi
tion from every seotion of tbs oountry.
It may sometimes suit toe interest or small
politicians to exoite sectional antagonisms in toe
State; bat no each petty jealotwy la to be found
in the heads snd hearts of toons engaged m the
industrial pursuits. All are expected at the
Fair in October. Maoon unites with toe State
Agricultural Society in a cordial invitation to
every county in toe State to be represented. I;
will impart new life, vigor and energy to every
indnafey; it will disseminate knowledge end
culture among the greet manes of the people;
it will kindle a lofty emulation among the work
ing classea; it will present one vast field for
testing theories and trying oondnsioos; it will
cement os, as a people, in the bond* of frater
nal union, and none should be deterred from
fear of defeat—for toe triumph of one will be
the triumph of ell, and there will be no rejoicing
over any defeat.
From the lsd'ea we expeot mneh—yea, almost
everything. Witbont their kindly aid end han
diwork we shall have no Floral Hall, and with
out that pleasing feature in perfection toe Fair
oan never be a grand snooeea. The good women
of onr country saved ns here two years ago—

would bar# been an Immense failure. Their
