THE, STATE FAIR
LET ALL GEORGIA PULL TOGETH
ER TO MAKE THE COMING
FAIR A SUCCESS.
To the People of Georgia:
The executive committee of the j
Georgia State Agricultural
has accepted the proposition of the ;
citizens of Atlanta providing for a ;
state fair, to he held in that city from
the 18th of October to the 4th of No
vember, inclusive. The organization
is now complete. A comprehensive
premium list is in course of prepara
tion, and the work is fully under way
for a successful and attractive display
of the state's resources.
This fair has been undertaken with
the distinct understanding that the
whole effort to be made will look to !
the betterment of the educational,
industrial and agricultural interests of
the commonwealth.
The fair,.in all its appointments, is
intended so become an object lesson
to our own people, along the several
lines named therein, and, at the same
time,show to outsiders apd, especially,
to homeseekers and investors,our pos- 1
sibilities, the value of our resources
and the profitable opportunities offer
ed in this state.
The Agricultural Society, aided by
the generous people of this city, has
set out to solve some ot the problems
that concern the well being of every
individual citizen.
The state needs to have its system
of education brought to the highest
standard. This can be best done by
displays at the fair, made by city and
county boards of education, our high
schools, colleges and universities, so
as to give some demonstration of their
methods of instruction and school
government, together with the general
conduct and managepient of their
several schools. In this connection,
we need also, models of school build
ings and attractive displays of school
apparatus, libraries and all the general
appliances used, so there may be a
satifactory examination and a final
acceptance and commendation of the
best. Good schools make the basis
of the best citizenship.
Again, we need to have our raw
material manufactured within the
limits of the state.
If, by displays at the fair, we can
see how much ot this is now being
done and the lines pursued, we can
then know how much remains to be
done and the best way to get at doing
it. We ought to have on display at
least a sample of everything manufac
tured in Georgia, from a well bucket
to a steam engine. Such display will
help the manufacturer and largely
benfit the state.
Especially do we need to have our
agricultural conditions advanced and
the rural districts of the state, thereby,
brought into better material prospect.
Possibly we need to stress this feature
more than any other single interest,
as all other business rests thereon.
If farming along any or severallines
can be demonstrated to be satisfacto
rily profitable, the management of the
fair and the public-spirited people
who co-operate with them will be far
more than compensated for the efforts
they put forth for the common good.
It this end is, in any measure, to be
accomplished by displays ot products
that pay, together with detailed state
ments of costs and sale, farmers will
have something to study to profit.
If success is to be reached through
the use of labor saving implements,
let us have every one of these imple
ments on exhibition and in practical
operation.
Jf farming can be, made more pro
fitable by attaching the dairy, apiary
and poultry, the raising of horses,
1 cattle, sheep and hogs, let us have it
1 demonstrated through the attractive
: display of all these things upon the
i grounds, remembering that the fair is
!to be a great and comprehensive
school for the instruction of our peo
■ pie and the betterment of our condi
tions.
Now, the question comes “Who is
going to bring all these things to
pass?”
Not the State Agricultural Society.
The members will lead us, of course.
Certainly not the local directory. This j
would be impossible. We will lend
all the aid we can to the society, and I
do the work assigned us cheerfully j
'and diligently, but we cannot make!
WASHINGTON
CONQUERED,
Grip Takes the City in its Iron Grasp
Government Machinery Almost
At a Stand-still, Enormous
Percentage of employees
Stricken with LaGrippe.
Capitol at the Mercy of
The Plague.
The Grip epidemic is raging in the
Capitol City, and fully one third of
the government employees are sick or
suffering from the dread disease. Vi
oleitf headaches, fever and chills, 1
sneezing and running at the eyes and
nose, together with the bone-racking
aches and pains and a general ex
haustion are the rule rather than the
exception. The best way to fight the
Grip is to strengthen the nerves and
build up the resistive powers so as to
throw off the deadly disease germs,
and nothing will do this so quickly
and surely as Dr. Miles' Nervine. It
has restored health to thousands of
Grip sufferers after every other reme
dy had failed.
“When the Grip left me I was a
broken down wreck, both mental and
hysical. My nerves were completely
unstrung, my appetite failed, could
not sleep and became so despondent
that I despaired of ever getting well.
I began to improve with the first bot
tle of Dr. Miles’ Nervine and when I j
had taken seven bottles I was com-.
pletely cured. Have been strong and
well ever since and weigh more than
I ever did before.”
Samuel E. Pii.son, Staunton, Va.
All druggists are authorized to sell

exhibits. If the fair is to be a suc
cess, the press and the people must
make it so. If it is a failure, no man
who does not help will have any right
to criticise or to complain.
The fair is a public interest; it will
be held for the public good, and,
whilst organization is necessary to
manage the details, the people must
make the show.
If we had the money for the pur
pose, we do not believe it necessary
or desirable Id send soliciting agents
over the state, to arouse and interest
the people.
This communication is written
simply to awaken public spirit and
being into touch with the Agricultural
Society the generous patriotism of the
people. If its purpose is accomplish
ed, the press must take up at once,
and actively, the publication of all
matter given out about the progress
of the fair; the people in communities,
counties and sections must organize
and go to work on the lines to be in •
dicated in the forthcoming premium
list, and see that they are not left out
of the work undertaken for the com •
mon good.
The object contemplated should
not only command the sympathy and
endorsement of the public and the
press, but it should receive the hearty
co-operation and active aid of every
patriotic citizen of the state.
If it be true that we now have an
opportunity to improve our conditions
along all lines and to make our peo
ple more prosperous, surely there is
not a newspaper in all our domain,
nor a citizen among all our struggling
people, who will not be willing to give
the necessary time and effort to make
the fair a magnificent success.
The fair is, in no sense, a local en
terprise. The aid given the Agricul
tural Society lay the generous people
of this city is for the common good,as 1
the effort is intended to forward every \
interest of the people and, thereby,
help every citizen of the state. The 1
local directory lias undertaken the j
work assigned them as a labor of love,!
and we hope to be joined in our efforts
by the generous patriotism of the press :
and the people. If so, the fair will:
be a success and the state put forward
. . 1 1
in prosperity and promise.
If the press of the state will lend its
columns for the publication of matter
about the 'fair, and the people will
furnish the exhibits, I shall be pleased
to be so informed, from time to tinie,
by post. So that the management may
know what to expect and for what to
prepare. W. J. Northen,
Chairman Local Directory. 1

Bsarj the The Kind You Wm Always Bought.
:
The Charity of Silence.
An esteemed contemporary dives
down into a well of truth and brings
up this’pearl of The first water: “The
man who gets mad at what the news
papers say about \iim should return
thanks three times a day for what the
papers know about him and don't
say.'’
Undoubtedly there are those who
have a genuine grievance against the
newspapers, but they are few. Asa
i rule, as the Memphis Scimitar says,
when a man is heard declaiming
against the press his animus may be
ascribed to one or two causes—either
he has asked a favor of some paper
and has been refused, or he or some
relation of bis has been detected in
some discreditable action and the
facts have been published. If the
press made a habit of hunting up and
printing scandals about private par
ties. as these disgruntled persons al
lege, there would be weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth in
many families where all is apparently
calm and serene.
There is always enough of that sort
ot thing afloat to fill a colupmor two.
and the papers are often blamed for
not printing it, the criticism usually
coming from persons who have a pri
vate grudge to feed in the exposure
of one or more parties to the scandal.
Few newspapers take any satisfac
tion in publishing such matter, and
the greater majority of them retrain
from using it. until it becomes a legit
imate news item and can no longer
be ignored.
The stories that are suppressed in
the average newspaper office out of
consideration for the feelings of inno
cent parffes who would be grieved
and humiliated by the publication of
them would fill a good sized volume
every year.—Augusta Herald.
