Warmer realised that there Is pot autn-
‘cl nt diversity of tnduatry to support
Idlveistned agriculture. It has been
the general cry for years past that
ktie farmer Is poor because he raises
too much cotton. This Is not true, hut
ft 4s true that they raise too much
K tton because they are too poor to
Ise anything else. The farmer cannot
'sell his corn because there Is too tittle
demand for his surplus. They can t
false com. because no bunk will «4-

'o eren-w: corn. The trouble t* there
its no diversity of Interests; there la
0<t sufficient demand for what he

Butts has built a pyramid—a pyra
mid of coal—Just outside the main en
trance to Floral hall. Here can be
found samples of the greatest coals
on the market—Wooldrlch, Jelltco,
MoKtevallo. 'Dona and four or five
cheeper varieties of coals, which Mr.
Armand Butts sells at his Macon coal
yard at prices ranging from SI a too
up. Every one knows Armand Butts.
His name ta guarantee for good coal
and those who buy from him know
that they get the lowest prices and
the beat coal for that price .
The buggies manufacteured by the
Jackson Buggy Company, and which
ore now on exhibition tn the old dining
hell, have two great adv-nnttiges. In
addition to being high-grade' vehicles
and made of the best material and by
the beat workmen, they are all home
made, and with this recommendation
every Georgian should look on them
with favor. The exhibition Is a hand
some one and Mr. T. B. Kenard. fhe
representative In charge, takes plea
sure and pride tn showing it off.
The exhibit of. the Chattanooga Plow
Company at the extreme end of Floral
Hall should be seen by every farmer
In Gtorgla. This company took nine
ot the highest awards at the .World's
Fair.
Matinee races wree given again yes
terday at I o’clock. While they did
dot attract as much attention as on
the previous day, a number of horse
men were there to watch, the work of
the bones. Two trots and a running
race made up tho speed programme of
the day. but as"thc races were entirely
Informal no records were kept. The
horses did some fast work, however,
and they all gave ovHcnco of being In
splendid form.
Tile deadhead list Is the only thing
that at all mars the smooth success of
tile fair. The manager* were unusual
ly liberal, but notwithstanding this
fact many people seem to have abused
the privilege, nnd It was decided yes
terday to overhaul the entire list. A
card from tho directors Is published
elsewhere notifying all holders of
passes that they will be taken up at
the gates Monday unless countersigned
by Secretory Knapp.
A number of young lady students
from Athena were at the fair yester
day. The fair students of Lucy Cobb
loaned those of Wesleyan tn seeing the
sights of the Dixie Fair and the day
was quite pleasantly spent by all.
The regular races begin Monday nnd
open up a great week of racing. The
full speed programme for Monday's
races will be published In tomorrow’s
Telegraph. The Indications are that
each event wilt be well Ailed and that,
too. with some of the fastest horses In
the stables. All the animals are con
sidered In good form, and their work
for several days past tit* been entirely
satisfactory to their owners. It Is gen
erally predicted that the state record
will be made on the Macon track thla
year. The track Is considered at least
two seconds faster than ever before
and this ts .going to belp some good
homos win new fame.
