STATE FAIR OPENED AT
MACON YESTERDAY.
The gates of the State Fair were
thrown wide open on Tuesday morn¬
ing, and the people of the Central
City are making every preparation
for the entertaining of the large
crowds that are expected daily.
Quite a; number of people from this
section will no doubt attend.
commerce commission, and Charles
P. Neill, United States commission of
labor.
General Manager Scott is of the
opinion that the arbitration will take
place in Atlanta, and officials of the
Lainmen and conductors are of the
same opinion.
The question to be arbitrated is
the reinstatement of Conductor J. T.
Paschal and Trainman Morgan. Pas¬
chal was discharged on the complaint
that he had violated the government
law limiting the number of hours at
which railway employes shall contin¬
ue at work. Morgan was charged
with having padded an expense ac¬
count.
The conductors and trainmen of the
Georgia road took the position that
the discharge of both was due to their
activities as members of the griev¬
ance committee representing the rail¬
way employes, and that the charges
against them were a pretext.
COVINGTON, GEORGIA, Oct. 16. 1912.
MANY EXHIBITS WILL
BE AT CORN SHOW.
CORN CLUB BOYS ARE GETTING
READY FOR CONTESTS. TWO
HUNDRED DOLLARS IN
PRIZES OFFERED.
The Boys Corn Club show which is
scheduled for Friday of next week,
will bring to this city possibly one
of the largest exhibits of fine corn
ever shown in this section of the
state. The boys are getting their
exhibits in shape and Prof. J. O.
Martin, who is looking after the de¬
tails of the show, stated to a News
reporter this morning that he would
he in his office at the court house
every day next week, and would re¬
ceive and take care of the exhibits
as they came in. This means that
those who desire to make exhibits
can make them at any time next
week and can bring them along with
them.
The show will be held in the court
house and the plan is to have as ma¬
ny exhibits as possible outside of the
corn. Those interested in holding
tbe show are anxious that every per¬
son in the county who has some spec
ia article eihter grown on their farm
or made by some member of their
family, bring them in and place them
on. exhibit. This show next week
simply means that it is the forerun¬
ner of a regular county fair in the
years to follow-. There is no doubt
but that many exhibits will be made
other than corn, as a number have
already signified their intention to
enter their products.
County Demonstrator J. Z. Johnson,
who has thirty farms under his divis¬
ion, states that he will have a num¬
ber of exhibits, both in corn and
other things from these farms. He
states that the majority of these
thirty farmers have better than the
average yield and in several in¬
stances the production is fine.
It was the intention of those pro¬
moting the corn club in this county
to give five prizep to members of
the club, as follows: First, $10.0;
second, $00; third, $25; fourth, $15,
and fifth $10. Air. Martin stated that
all of this amount had not as yet
been raised but that he thought it
very probable that the prize money
to the corn club boys will be between
one hundred and fifty and two hun¬
dred dollars. The greater part of
this amount is to be raised by public
subscription, and every ore in the
county who has not contributed to
this progressive institution are invit
ed to send their donations to Prof.
J. O. Martin, either this week or the
first of next. He will very probably
complete the entire amount by the
middle of the week, and is anxious
that every one help make this one
of the best and most inspiring show¬
ing of corn ever held here.
Mayor Smith has stated to the
board of education that the visitors
here oil that day will be welcome at
the Academy Spring park, where
they can have their lunch, and those
attending from the country are given
a special invitation by the people of
tbe city to spend the day with us.
A full program and the details of
the show will be published in the
next issue of The News.
WORSHAM'S DAIRY KEEPS

ular and leading dairymen of the

been able to secure labor to do..
But Air. Worsham is always abreast
with the progressive ideas and this
is the first machine of its kind ever

ROOSEVELT SHOT
MONDAY EVENING.
ALTHOUGH WEAK FROM LOSS
OF BLOOD, HE FINISHES
HIS SPEECH, AND IS
RUSHED TO HOSPITAL.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 14.—Theo¬
dore Roosevelt was shot in the breast
here tonight by a man from the
crowd. The extent of the Injury is
unknown. With a bullet in his body,
Colonel Roosevelt went to the audito¬
rium to make his speech. He refused
to permit physicians to examine the
wound until he had finished his ad¬
dress.
Colonel Roosevelt completed his
speech at 9:45 o’clock and was tak¬
en to the emergency hospital.
The prisoner told the police, after
an hour’s examination, that he was
John Schrank, of 370 East Tenth
street, New York.
it is believed Roosevelt's wound is
not serious. The colonel felt no pain
at the time the shot was fired and
was not aware lie was shot until he
was on the way to the auditorium.
His attention was then called to a
hole in his overcoat and he found
his shirt was soaked with blood. He
insisted he was not badly hurt. A
superficial examination was made
when he reached the auditorium and
three physicians agreed he was in
no immediate danger.
Colonel Roosevelt’s life probably
was saved by a manuscript of the
speech which he delivered tonight.
The bullet struck the manuscript,
which retarded its force as it passed
through into the flesh. His assailant
was prevented from firing a second
shot by Albert H. Alartin, one of the
Colonel’s two secretaries.
Colonel Roosevelt had just stepped
into an automobile when the would-be
assassin pushed his way through the
crowd in the street and fired.
Martin, who was standing in the car
with the colonel, leaped onto the
man’s shoulders and bore him to the
ground. Capt. A. 0_ Girard, of Mil
waukee, who was in the front seat,
jjmped almost at the same time and
in an instant the man was overpow¬
ered and disarmed.
A wild cry of “lynch him!" went up
Colonel Roosevelt spoke to the crowd
and told them to spare the man, who
then was taken into the hotel and
held there until he was removed to
the police station.
In spite of the entreaties of physi¬
cians, Colonel Roosevelt insisted up¬
on delivering his address.
“I will make this speech or die,
one or the other,” he said. Henry
F. Goehems, one of the Wisconsin
progressive leaders, told the great
crowd assembled In the auditorium
that Colonel Roosevelt had been shot
and asked them to be calm.
Then he began his address. Sev¬
eral times he seemed to he growing
weak and members of his party rose
to help him. He motioned them to
sit down each time.
The latest reports from Milwaukee
are to the effect that Colonel Roose¬
velt’s wound is more sreious than
was at first thought.
MR. SMITH CALLED TO HIS
OLD ALABAMA HOME.
Mayor George T Smith was called
to his old home at WilsonviUe, Ala.,
Sunday on account of the illness of
an aunt at that place.
Up until the time we go to press
ne has not returned, but his many
fiiends here hope that the sickness
in his family will not prove danger¬
ous and that the condition of his
aunt will improve and ha’ve a speedy
recovery.
CITY IS IMPROVING OLD
BUILDING FOR FIRE HOUSE.
The city has a number of workmen
busy this week remodeling the old
Clark Bank building, and making of
the first floor a first class fire de¬
partment house and storage place for
the equipment. This will make the
fire headquaretrs decidedly more con¬
venient to the hoys than the present
location, and it will be permanent.
The city recently purchased this
building for $2,000, which is consid¬
ered one of the bset real estate bar¬
gains of the year. The ground floor
will be used for a fire department,
arid the second floor will probably be
equipped later on as a sleeping apart¬
ment for four or five of the members
We understamd that a room will also
be fitted up on the second floor for
a ladies rest room. This is some¬
thing the city is badly in need of.
Now is a mighty good time to pay
that dollar you owe the News.
WOODMEN TO HOLD
PUBLIC EXERCISES
EXCELLENT PROGRAM TO BE
RENDERED AT AUDITORIUM
FRIDAY NIGHT.—NO AD¬
MISSION CHARGED,
Elm Camp, Woodmen of the World,
of this city, will hold exercises at
the school auditorium on Friday even¬
ing of this week to which the pub¬
lic generally is extended a cordial in¬
vitation. There will be no admission
charges.
The program which is practically
complete will be very interesting and
entertaining all the way through. The
Oxford camp will co-operate with the
local camp and they have two num¬
bers on the program which will be
unusually interesting. One of the
numbers will be a selection by the
Oxford Male Quartet which is noted
for its good singing. Another se¬
lection by them will be an instrumen¬
tal solo, which will also he good.
Good music and recitations will be
features of the program, but possi¬
bly the best number will be the ad¬
dress of Captain Derrick, Deputy
organizer for the Woodmen in Geor¬
gia. His address will be on Frater¬
nity and the spirit from which it em¬
anates. Air. Derrick is a fluent talk¬
er and will no doubt have many out
to hear him on this occasion.
As above stated, the public is cor¬
dially invited to spend Friday even¬
ing, October 18th, with the local
Woodmen at the auditorium.

WINNERS AGAIN GO
AFTER PRIZE MONEY
TWO CAR LOADS OF HORSES AND
CATTLE LEFT THIS CITY
SATURDAY MORNING FOR
THE CENTRAL CITY.
Newton county will be well repre¬
sented in the exhibits In the live
stock department of the State Fair
which is being held in Macon this
week.
Saturday morning two car loads of
cattle and horses left this c 4 ty for
entry at the fair, and they contain¬
ed some of as fine looking specimens
as will be seen there. The Avon-In
dian Jersey Farm sent a car of Jer¬
seys which would do credit to any
breeder in the country^ The car is
accompanied by Mr. Henry Odum,
and contains one cow which has at¬
tracted the attention of breeders ail
over the country, “Savannah May,”
winner of the grand championship at
Macon last year. She will in all
probability walk off with the same
honors at the fair this year. Other
cows in this car are fine; in fact all
of them show the high breeding of
tiiis farm.
The other car contained cattle and
horses owned by Messrs. L. W. Jar¬
man and J. A. Gowajn of West New¬
ton. The exhibits in this car are al¬
so very fine, among which are the
Peroheron horses which captured all
the prize money in their class last
year, and have the same possibility
for this year. Mr. Jarinar is also
sending aHong part of his herd of
Devon cattle. These are of the best
possible breeding and Mr Jarman is
expecting the same success with the
prize money with them as he had last
season.
The friends of these gentlemen as
well as all those interested in live
stock in this county will watch the
outcome of the prize awards with in¬
terest.
WOODMEN MEETING.
The regular semi-monthly meeting
of Elm Camp will be held tonight at
the hall and all members are request¬
ed to be present and assist in the
conferring of the degrees on a num¬
ber of candidates.
