Everybody Confident and Determined.
The business men of Macon Interested
In the State Fair filled the parlors of
the Hotel Lanier last night. The as
semblage was composed of representa
tive business men of the city—not all of
them, but with a large number-that
a survey of the personnel left no room
for doubt about the ability of the Cen
tral City to measure up to all the de
mands necessary to have the biggest
State Fair ever held In Georgia.
There was evidence of determination,
of enthusiasm, of faith In the Macon of
today and of the future, that Is suffi
cient hostage for all the most sanguine
can hope lot. The men present at the
Aneetlng last night are ft portion of that
splendid force which In the last decade
has placed the Central City In the fore
rank of Southern cities.

Mayor Smith said that he was only
able to speak for himself. He was in

Mr. S. A. Crump was authorized to
draft a charter for the Macon Fair As

At’this Juncture It was decided to call

SOUTH AND NEGRO.
ddre.. Delivered In New York by
Torbert of Port Valiev.
M-.\V YORK, Feb. 12.—"The South
id the Negro" was the subject of a
lecture In the First Reformed Episco
pal church tonight by James J. Tot*-
hert, assistant principal and financial
agent of the Fort Valley colored High
and Industrial School of Fort Valiev,
*• known as the Georgia
^"k®fee. .He said in part:
• Slavery left us four millions strong,
ioaay we are about nine millions. It left
us wlthouf a home but well schooled
In the exercise of the muscles and to
” tent wlth the desire to Imitate
man - °ar homes today uot
the hilltops, plains, the valleys All the
way from Virginia to Texas. Slavery
left us illiterate, but with a passionate
desire for knowledge, and today we
nave two And a half million people in
the public schools and 85,000 teachers
trained from the rahk and file of the
race.
“If «re denied political power for
the time being, which often hln-
#r*. the sweetest and healthiest growth
of the home, the power to do good has
heither been taken away nor abfldgcl.
Ve can plant our feet squarely In the
soli and make the white, agriculturist
green with envy as he views our well-
kept homes, our well-fllled barns and
our fruit growing and hearing full and
plenty with each season of the year.
When the white man prevents my race
from buying and selling among our
selves. from teaching and preaching
the gospel of truth to the wayward,
from receiving and giving, from living
add loving, then they will have perse
cuted us. If they prevent none of thcao
things they prevent no progress.”
WHO DIED PIHSTf
The Crucial Ieane In the Ault for the
Pair Inheritance.
PARIS. Feb. 12—Representatives of
the various claimants to the estates of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair
are preparing for a severe legal con
test at San Francisco. New ‘York and
Paris. It is expected here that the $1-
Ing of suits in New .York will be fol
lowed by the appointment of a com
mission to take the testimony of the
French witnesses whose evidence thus
far has been ex-parte. The interests
of Mrs.' Fair's relatives are being di
rected by Frank I. Hyde and Donald
H. Vanderbilt. Hermann Oelrlchs' in
terests are represented by Edmond
Kelly. The array of counsel is entirely
American. Mr. Hyde, who superin
tended the taking of the affidavits, says
the work h is been proceeding e\^r
since the Fairs* deaths and that the
j/ldavlts establish a prlnm facie case
that Mr. Fair died first; but ns the wit
nesses have not been cross-examined
by the other side, it will be necessary
later »dther to send the witnesses to the
United Staten or to examine and to
cross-examine them before a commis
sion her*. It Is believed that most of
the witnesses would gladly avail them
selves of the opportunity of making a
trip to San Francisco, but there ure
no means of compelling them to go to
America, so it may be necessary to ex-
at least part of the witnesses
