Next Tuesday Georgia’s State Fair opens at Macon, and there is no doubt but that with good weather the greatest crowds ever seen at a State Fair will hold forth. This year Georgia has broken through the barriers held up by Illinois and various other states that have swapped about for position as second and third state, and now comes forward as second state in agricultural wealth production. This state of affairs comes about by a combination of cir cumstances, chiefly bad crops in the West and good crops in Geor gia, but with the right kind of farming there is no doubt that Georgia could maintain this po sition always, Texas only taking the lead, and that because it is about five times as large as Georgia. The State Fair and al] fairs throughout Georgia will do much to show the farmers the way to continue to hold this position, and we predict that within a few years the rightful sovereignty of the State in this direction will be permanently established. It is up to the farmers, for the re sources, the climate and the pos sibilities are here, and all we need now is the people who will do the right kind of farming. The fairs are great educators and the folks are evincing great er interest than ever, and it is quite probable that the new re gime in farming will be noticea ble throughout the state in every nook and cranny within the next decade, and when that is accom plished the greatest and most prosperous state of all will be Georgia. Long live the fairs, long live the progressive business men and farmers who make them possible, and we trust that each year the list will increase and the attractions be greater for all the people in all the states.— Milledgeville News. Cattle In The South. Everybody seems to see the need of raising more and better cattle in the Southern States ex cept our farmers, who are most concerned. The Wall Street Journal cites figures from the last census to show that there is room as well as need for a vast increase of the South’s stock of cattle. According to the census show-; ing, in 1910 there were 5,766,000 head of cattle, worth $72, OhO,ooo, in the 348,715 square miles of the two Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, 1 Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi-; ana. That is 16.5 head to the square mile. In New York and Pennsylvania there were 4,010,- 000 head worth $140,000,000 on I 94,330 square miles, or 42.2 head to the square mile. To be sure there are more farmers to the square mile in New York and Pennsylvania than in the Southern States named and necessarily more cat tle, but it is nevertheless true that the cattle industry is neg lected in the South. We are im porting both beef and butter at high prices when these should be produced at home, and could be produced and profitably sold at more moderate rates.—Macon Telegraph. Heavy Snow Fall All Over Oklahoma. Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 29. —Snow fell through Oklahoma from Saturday to Sunday noon to a depth of from three inches at Bartlesville, and one inch in the “Panhandle,” to a slight flurry in the southeastern portion of the state. A bitter north wind accom panied the snow. Temperatures are near freezing. . In the Panhandle section of Texas the snow-fail measured two inches, the temperatures dropping from 80 degrees to 35 in four hours. i HEW MODELS FIRST SHOWN IN GEORGIA Atlanta’s Fourth Annual Automobile Show to Be Set to Music by Sousa’s Band. t Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14. —(Special.)—There are comparatively few I things that the South I gets first, but it is an interesting and note worthy fact that the new models of automo biles and the new principles involved in their construction, are exhibited in Atlanta nearly two months before they are shown in the North or East. This is one time at least when At lanta and Georgia get ahead of New York; for the New York automobile show is not held until January, while every new type of automobile manu factured is brought to Atlanta for ex hibition early in November. With one million dollars’ worth of new automobiles muter the roof of the Auditorium, Atlanta’s fourth annual automobile show, November 8 to 15, will be set to music this year by Sou sa’s band. Here’s another one put over on New York. It is the first time in the his tory of automobile shows in the Unit ed States that a band of the magni tude and reputation of that headed by John Philip Sousa, has been secured purely for the entertainment of vis itors; but the Atlanta committee de cided to take a shot at something big, and signed a contract to pay Mr. Sou sa $7,000 to come hero and play twice a day, matinee and night, while the automobile show is in progress. Sousa is to bring fifty-two musicians, be sides his famous soloists, and is to give the same concerts which have at tracted so much attention at the big Eastern resorts. A Good Combination. The combination of the automobile show and Sousa’s famous band is one which will, undoubtedly, prove of wide interest. No automobile show in the world has ever yet been given with so expensive a feature, and there is added to this the fact that everything new in the automobile world will be brought here. Every feature will be shown that New York will have at its later show in January; and the visit or to Atlanta in November who may chance to see the New York show in January can well remark: ‘‘Oh, we had that down in Georgia two months ago.” There are two particular features that will be of special interest in the coming Atlanta show —the increased number of six-cylinder cars and the self-starting devices which have been rapidly perfected, and which may now be applied to almost any make of car. The “six,” many manufacturers claim, is the car of the immediate fu ture; they say it has already come and come to stay. Some of them have gone so far as to stop the manufacture altogether of four-cylinder cars, and are making only sixes. Some are making them, too, at the same and at lower prices than they sold their fours. There will be shown in the Atlanta auditorium cars of every possible price -—from SSOO up to $7,500, and, perhaps even higher than that; though when cars get above that figure it is usually a special model with fancy features and extra trimmings. It is the me dium priced car that the majority of Georgia car owners are most interest ed in, and these will be shown in by far the largest number. One interesting opportunity which the show affords to the man who al ready owns a car, as well as the one who expects to buy, is the presence here of mechanics and representatives > direct from all the factories through whom can be learned every point and | detail any man might want to know ij about his machine. Hundreds of car : owners come here just to learn new | points about the cars they are already i driving. Many Tours Planned. A special feature of the week this | year will be a number of automobile tours which will be run to Atlanta i from nearby points, as far away as one hundred miles. At this time of the year, the roads are usually in fine , shape, and people are generally able to get away for a short time from I business. The goods roads question is one that is inseparable from the automobile and j the automobile show. The commercial | bodies of the state have planned to ' bring about concerted action next j year for wide-spread and effective road j • improvement, and the preliminary agi- J 1 tation will be made part and parcel J of the coming Atlanta automobile I show. The show will be given, as usual, un der the auspices of the Atlanta Auto ; mobile and Accessory Association, and j practically the same committee which has been in charge of it for the last two years is making the plans now. This committee is composed of R. N. Reed, chairman; George W. Hanson, J. K. Gewinner, John Toole, C. H. Johnson, George D. McCutcheon, H. A. Price, W. B. McKinstry and Wylie j West. The time, which was pointed to a i few years ago, when the low and medium priced automobile and the automobile truck would become neces -1 sides instead of the luxuries as they were then regarded, has already come. It is a necessity to the busi ness man, the merchant, the profes sional man and the farmer; the farm er, as well as every other man who uses an automobile for business pur poses, saves time and money by it; and under the stress of competition its use is becoming more and more gen eral. The Atlanta Auditorium is going to be made a thing of beauty for the oc casion. The decorations this year will be in blue and gold, and will, if any thing, surpass any arrangement that has yet been made of the building. The decorations last year cost $5,000. The railroads will give special rates for the occasion, and it is one of the nicest times of the entire year to via lt Atlanta. > THE MONTGOMERY MONTTOR-TIItTRSDAY, OCT. 80, 1913 The Road to j 5 Wealth I :© I M There is one door that always opens $ @ to the road of prosperity and wealth. :g> Sf , m 0, You will find that door at the front of our 0 ©' Bank.
