PROGRAM OF THE RACES Tan Thousand Dollars In Purses to Do Hung Up For ltunners— Horse Show and “Battles of Our Nation” Other Great Attractions. The Southern Inter-State Fair, to be held at Atlanta this fall, Oct. 10 to 27, has arranged lor the presentation ol somo very strong special attractions. A brief account of some of the principal features of the Fair in this line will, no doubt, be interesting to our readers. First and foremost among the special attractions should be placed the racing program. Ten thousand dollars in purses will be hung up for running, trotting and pacing races. Four days will bo devotetfeo harness races and six to run- tho ning races. This will be oue of most extensive, and, the racing Management meets claims one of the best, ever held in tlie southeastern states. Tue racing will begin Oct. 37, ami will con tinue until the close of the Fair. Another strong attraction will be tho “Battles of Our Nation.” This is a very elaborate, historical and musical spec tacle. It will be presented every night during the Fair in froxit of the grand stand, on a large stage especially con- will structed for this purpose. There he nearly 100 actors and actresses in the spectacle. most interesting development of The Balloon.” modern science is the “War This tremendous airship, l-ising high in the air, and enabling and its operator of the to make photographs drawings enemy’s stronghold, lias fairly revolu tionized war methods. Nothing has been so much discussed during ike past few years as the War Balloon. One of these marvellous airships will bo on ex kibition at the Southern Inter-State Fair. It will -carry passengers to a height of 1,000 feet-, and, beyond qut K tion, it will be one of tho most iuteres ing features of the Fair. For the first time in the history of th ■ South there is to be a high class Horse Show—not the parading of a few hor.-.e;; in front of a grand stand; but a rehT,“up to-date Horse Show, such an event, in deed, as the Horse Show given in Ma li son Square Garden, New York. A mammoth tan bark arena has been con structed in the Coliseum. It measures 90x240 feet. The audience will be seated in private boxes on a tremendous grand stand. Those who desire may walk around the entire arena on tho “parade, or walk-way, 20 feet in width. The Horse Show is to be a society event, and Soutkeni society will assemble to wit ness the most elaborate exhibition ol splendid horse flesh over brought to gether in the South. The show will continue four nights—October tremendous 2-trd, 24th, 20th and 26th. The building will be brilliantly lighted Show and splendidly decorated. The Horse will be the social event of the year. The best Midway combination in the United States has bepn engaged for the Fair this fall. This is iho maguili cent combination under the manage ment of Mr. Frank O. Bostock. The star feature of this combination is a Trained Wild Animal Show, where lions, leopards, tigers and animals of all kinds perform in a most marvelous man ner. Mr. Bostock is known among showmen as “The Animal King,” and he is better equipped, in the matter of trained wild animals, than auy other man on this side of the Atlantic. He is the principal dealer in wild animals in this country, and the best and most per fect. of his specimens nre selected and trained as performers. Besides the An imal Show, there will be the wonderful moving pictures of tho Fitzsimmons Ruklin fight; the wonder!ul “Mystery of Oega,” the disappearing lady; the Oriental Theater, where the famous Mile. Fatema and Mile. Rosseta will perform the weird dances of the east. Besides these attractions, the highly Midway Will contain numerous other in teresting features. There will be numerous other special features and attractions. Among them two ma sgnificent acts that will take pi ace in rlxe Horse Show.

There will also be a broad sword contest on horse back bâ€“wecu Xavier Orlefsky, cham pion of the world, and Duncan C. Ross, or soma other competitor of equal re nown.

Tho most remarkable success ever attained m charitable work in Geor gia is that being done by the Geor gia Industrial Home, located five miles northwest of the city of Macon, regularly chartered under the laws of Georgia without capital stock Jan uary 20tt, 1899, opened its doors February 22d following; its hoard of Direoto-s being 1*.

In one year tlie Home bar expend ed several thousand dollars in build ings and improvements and is in possession of 200 acics < f splendid land. Three new buildings have been erected this year and there arc now under the sacred influences of the Home severity-four children from all over tlie state. The Georgia Industrial Home is the only institution in Georgia that is founded primarily for destitute children'whose parents ai e living, the most hopeless and the most neglect ed class of children in the state. All this work has been accomplished throgh private benevolence by the untiring efforts of its founder, as the Home is entirely dependent upon what the people give for its support. The ladies ot Macon will hold a Tabernacle Fair for the benefit of this Home on Mulberry street in that beautiful city, beginning September 20lli. Contributions to this fair of every' kind from met chants, farmers and manufacturers are respectfully solicited and ay' be forwarded to Ktv. W. E. Mumford, founded Ma con, (la, by tlie loth of September. The Fair will continue through the Street Fair, to be held in the city of Macon September 24th to the 29th, and tlie cloth tabernacle of tlie Geor gia Industr.al Iloinp Fair on Mul berry' street will be headquarters for all the fii<-nds of the Horne who may visit the city and they are cordially invited to visit the Tabernacle. Fair and make themselves at home. This great institution deserves the encouragement and support of all Georgians, and as the Tabernacle Fair is to be held for the purpose of raising funds lo add industrial advan tages to the Home it is our sincere desire that it may be a great success. No children in the state need help so badly as the children for whom this Home is especially founded, and no wonder the great movement is re ceiving tlie endorsement of the en tire state.

It now seems that the farmer will ^et 10 cents for his cotton this fall, and we sincerely trust that such will he the case, for no one is more entitled to good prices for his prod ucts than the tiller of the soil. This is what two of the leading daily pa pers of the state say: Yvfhen Hon. C. II. Jordan, the ag ricultural editor of the Journal, sev eral months ago predicted that cot ton fiould bring ten cents a pound this i!a!!, there was skepticism in the min » of many who had not given the subjects study, and even in the mindjs of some who had. A number of farmers and fertilizer concerns sold ■Icttun for fall delivery at about elghTceiits. New it transpires that there is mon faith in tlie staple, and the talk of te * cent.- has become common among newspapvis an I people who have just waked up to the si, nation, No one can undid with absolute certainty what the market will ’ but the general opinion as to the fall price of cotton is far above that of two in three months ago.—Atlanta Jour toil.

From the Times, llillstille, Va, I suffered with diarrhoea for a lung time and thought I was pas(b< • ing cured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give up all hopes of recovery and a wait the result, but noticing the ad vertisement of Chamberlin’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testimonials stating how some wonderful cures had been wrought, by this remedy’, I decided to try it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, amt I wish to say further to my read ers and fellow-suffers that I am a hale and hearty man to-day and feel as well as I ever did in mv life. —O.

There is a disposition on th part of most of the communities in which tlie building of cotton mills is con templated, to appeal to distant Ollt aiders for contributions t.o the stock of the projected mill. Wo notice from the Greenville, Miss, “Times" 1 that a cotton factory at that place would have been built some time ago, had not the home people leaned too much on outsiders’ aid for this, that the othei, in connection with the building of the factrry; >nd that tlie Greenville people arc now un wiiling to wait any longer on the promised investors and will build their own factory This is the proper way t< dispose of the matter. The sooner the Southern people learn lo depend up on themselves, the better, for all concerned. It is a mistaken idea that all the money is m tnc North Noth Carolina has over two hundred cotton factories that are owned by the “Tar-heels,’ 1 and North Carolina >ocs not produce one-fourth ot the cotton raised by many of her sister Stales. It the delegations and individuals who go North in search of contrihu tions and subscriptions would use the same amount of energy among the home people, their enterprises would materialize with much more satisf-ie results. A Northern investor, as a rule, does not cate for an uivest mcul that might W offd-di by ' sioti't lilt, e mill a thousand miles away. If is best not to be under obligations to outsiders. The South will never become great until every industry within its borders are controlled bv homo capital. Particularly is this true as to "cotton manufacturies. There are many good reasons for making the assertion. Field and Factory. His Life Was Saved Mr. J. E.
