“The finest agricultural display and the best exhibit of farming imple
ments and machinery that l have a«en in the mouth in over twenty yeara,
and a state fair that is the greatest In.the history of the Georgia Agricultu
ral 8ociety," was the enthusiastic comment made yesterday by Prof. Andrew
M. Soule, president of the department of agriculture of the University of
Georgia.
In company with Supts. Dallis and.Brown, President J. J. Conner and
others, Prof. ’Soule went over the entire ground, visiting all of the exhibit
halls and closely inspecting the various displays.
"I can hardly believe it possible/’ ho declared, “that this great fair was
prepared in Just sixty days. It is so complete in every particular. The
agricultural exhibits reflect , much credit upon the various counties ana are
in number and variety sufficiently greut to assure the success of the fair.
These displays, besides being generally:attractive, must appeal to all farm
ers as well as to the.public, showing as they do, the great agricultural re
sources and developments of the various counties.* One is enabled at a
glance to tell Just what are the farm products of the counties represented,
and to what extent they are cultivated, by simply going through the dis
plays. Any farmer, no matter if ho Mves at tho extreme end of the state,
•who does not visit the state.fair during the ensuing week will certainly
miss one of the treats of a lifetime.* If ho lives anywhere near Macon he .
should be sure to come."
President K. G. Matheson, of tho Georgia Technological School, was also
especially delighted with the exhibits of machinery and farming imple
ments. Both wero loud in their praise of the wonderful success achieved
by the fair association officials in sec-urlng such creditable displays in co
short a time.

"The assertion that thors have been

for a republican victory there was de
cidedly encouraging. Mr. Hitchcock
said he ndver had any doubt about
New York being for Taft and Hughes.
Chairman Hitchcock said New Jersey

today made publlo the following appeal
to the public:
"As the campaign draws to a close,

Democratic party attempts to Inaugu

reconcile labor and capital by legislation 1
which will bring employer and employe

together in friendly co-operation, and to
this end it proposes the creation of n
