tions Announced.
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

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. One of these by the
famous French horseman, Gautier, who,
with his three highly trained nights, horses, ap
peared for 800 successive on a
specially constructed stage, at Kost-er –
Bial’s theatre, New York. There will
also be a broad sword contest on horse
back b–wecu Xavier Orlefsky, cham
pion of the world, and Duncan C. Ross,
or soma other competitor of equal re

SUCCESSOR TO THE HERALD.

A GREAT WORK BEING BONE BY
THE GEORGIA LNDl'SITRAL HOME.
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

founder.
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

The Fair will continue through the

Macon September 24th to the 29th,

gia Industr.al Iloinp Fair on Mul

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, is nonsectariaii and
board in its conception. Let us help

OWN YOER COTTON MILES.
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

is best not to be under obligations to
outsiders. The South will never

true as to "cotton manufacturies.

“Yes, sir; all that we need.”
