DOW. j
A continuous state fair—almost—
is what the A., B. A A., railroad is
showing jin the city ticket office in
Atlanta. Through the efforts of the
general passenger agent, W. H. Leahy,
with whom the idea originated, coun
ties along theMine of the A., B. A. A.,
are getting excellent advertising by
exhibits in Atlanta. Thomas county
started the list, Coffee is now get
ting the (window. The worth of the
advertising thus gained can hardly
be estimated. The window occupies
a prominent location, where visitors
as well as Atlanta fpeople are con-j
stantly passing. That it attracts is
evident by reports Waycross people
bring from Atlanta. It is stated (that
the window is constantly surrounded
by people, and that at times the crowd
gets to such a size that a policeman
has to clear the sidewalk. i
ANTI-CARNIVAL PETITIONS
GIVEN CITY COUNCI
Business Men and Ministers Appear Against Carni
val Booked for Next Week.
City Council had a lively meeting
last night, inbstly because a carnival
has been Riven permission to show
here next week. The lively meeting
proved of much interest, and quite a
number of talks, for and against the
carnival, were made. Some of the
aldermen waxed eloquent in e their
talks, while visitors were equally as
eloquent in presenting their objec
tions.
When the carnival aggregation sent
a representative here some Jime ago
to investigate the statement was made
by proper auhorities that the carnival
could not show here during the Coast
Line pay day week. The carnival
company selected another date, and
the concession was granted.
In view of this fact, and the further
fact that there are many citizens who
want the carnival, Council did not re-

The talks by those present became
rather sharp at times, und some of
the remarks very pointed. The meet
ing ended w'lth no clashes, however,
but some near-clashes go on reeord.-
Mayor Cox stated that by virtue of
the resolution passed by council he
had entered into an agreement with
the carnival, and that it was the duty
of the city to stand hy4he agreement.
He said it was nothing but fair to the
carnival to allow fhem to show, and
that he would deal fairly with the
carnival and ilht go back on the agree
ment.
