NOW FOR THE STATE FAIR OF 1909
SAYS SECRETARY M. V, CALVIN
Rapid-Fire Management Brought About An Unparalleled
Success—'What Should Be Done For the

Enthussd, feelfhg happy. Seorstary
•Martin V. Calvin walked Into Tha
Telegraph office laat night when tho
gates Ivnd boon ‘closed on the last of
the 1908 fair, and asked permission
to pound out aome of hia enthusiasm
and happiness on a reporter's type
writer.
Ho thumped and thumped, and with
every stroke on the keys he tried to
emphasize the fact that the fair was
a cucceas.
Here la what he thumped:
Tho Georgia state fair of IMS,
which went Into history at 6 p. m.
this day, proved to be—the element of
constructive time considered—an un-
r*nralle>d success.
It was projected alxty-two day*
ago under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances. For a time it looked r.s
though a state fair at Macon this
year was an absolute Impossl ull’fy..
Line upon line, word upon word, how
ever. eventuated in a close conference
between members of the executive
committee of the Georgia State Ag
ricultural Society and leading and en
terprising citizens • of Macon.
It was agreed that if the people of
Macon would subscribe $7,500, the
state society, as a body or in the per
son of ita executive committeemen,
%,-ould subscribe $2,500. This was
promptly done. Thereupon the work
v.-R9 begun.
President Conner of the state so
ciety went afield stirringly In search
of county agricultural exniblts: Pres
ident Jones of tho local association
begun to bend his indomitable ener
gies to the work at home.
Shoulder to shoulder, the parties at
Interest enthusiastically tolled In be
half of an enterprise the sole object
of whldh was the encouragement of
agricultural and Industrial progress
In the state.
It was an unselfish project. No
man had anything to tell. No reward,
other than the consciousness of duty
loyally performed, was expected.
ITnder the rapid-fire leadership of
President Den L. Jones, the Macon con
tingent was constantly at tat front.
In the personal and notably effective
work of President James J. Conner, the
state society contingent took a most act-
'Tonight, the noble old state society la
happy; because she has witnessed tho
continued, successful, prosecution of the
great work she inaugurated, at Htone
Mountain, In 184*. . T ,
Now for 1901! Plans must be perfected
and work begun In the interest of the
Georgia State Fair for that year without
unnecessary delay. Word must be at
once sent throughout the commonwealth
that the state fair for 1909 will begin
Wednesday, October 29. and continue
through a period of ten days. .
The people of Macon should arouso
themselves to a more thorough apprecia
tion of .-the great value and Importance
of a wisely conducted state fair.
Let them, as one man. instantly come
to the front and stay at the front in the
most enthusiastic spirit possible; I pledge
a corresponding spirit of active enthusi
asm oh the part of the entire member-,
sh'p -of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society.
Let etch and all of them put forth
their very best efforts In furtherance of
a state fair for 1909 which shnll surpass.
In every detail, any fair ever held* kv
Georgia or the south; I pledge the most
zealous co-operation on the part of-every
member of the g-and old Georgia State
Agricultural Society, of which I have the
honor of being secretary.
What say you, citizens of Macon?
What say you. merchants, manufactur
ers and tradesmen df. Macon, with a cul
tivable trade territory occupied by 350.000
Industrious, thrifty people within a radius
of sixty (80) miles of jrour henutlful audi

Popular Southern*- Conductor
Is Ground to Death Under
His 'Train
ATLANTA, Nov. 7.—Pathetic Indeed
was the death or R. T. Grogan, a
Southern Railway yard conductor,
which occurred early today In the At
lanta hospital. His dying admonition
was In behalf of hia little children:
••Talje care of the children. Nora,” he
faintly gasped as the little spark of
life flickered out. “Tell them to re
member their father.” •
Conductor Grogan wns run over and
fatally injured by a freight train On
the Atlanta belt line, near Armour sta
tion, this morning at 12:15 o’clock. Mr.
Grogan was brought to Atlanta, and
died In the Atlanta hospital at 2:25.
His wife and mother were with him
there, and ho retained consciousness
and talked with them till the last.
Until a week ago. Mr. Grogan was
a main line conductor of the South
ern. He was temporarily assigned to
the yards. He took up his new duties
last Saturday. As a railroad man of
several vears’ experience he was wlde-
. Iv known, and his tragic death leaves
a multitude of friends mojirntng.
The accident happened Just as tho
mixed train of about twenty-five cars,
with Grogan on the front end of therp,
was being pushed down the inaiu He*
around the Y to Inman, to give the
crews a chance for supper. The train
had left the Decatur yards a few min
utes before.
Signalled a Stop.
When tho train, with tie engine at
the far end. swung around the curve
near the Armour house line switch, Mr.
Grogan saw the red light on the tank
of an engine standing ahead. Not
knowing whether it wag on the main
line or the house track, hs signalled a
quick stop. The emergency brakes
were thrown on, and the sudden Jerk
hurled the doomed man to the tracks.
The train’s momentum carried both
trucks of. the car he was standing on.
over him. He was picked up dying.
Both legs were mangled, and his left
hip was crushed.
In the same car that had run over
him and behind a special engine, the
, mutilated man was rushed back to At-
lenta. An ambulance met the train at
KiJnpson street, and ha'f an hour after
the accident Mr. Grogan was in the
hospital. His wife and mother were
summoned at once.
Though he knew that death waited
him. the injured n:an talked with the
two women at his bedside up until a
moment or two before he passed away.
Mr. Grogan was 29 years old. He
had been married three years. His
widow was Miss Nora Patton, of Toc-
coa. He Is survived by her and his
mother, Mrs. K. T. Crogan of 313
Luclde street, and two little chlldren--
Robcrt Thomas. Jr., oged 2 yesrs. and
Ffcnres. 7 months old. •
Insurance amounting to $4,500 will
sccrue to Mrs. Grogan the widow
from two fraternal orders of wnleb
the deceased man was a member. He
was affll'ated with Adeiphl Lodge. Sa

Atlanta Prison Officials Don’t
Expect to See Him for
Several Years
ATLANTA, 0«„ Nov. 7.—All Is In
readiness for the reception of Charles
W. Morse, the New York banker who
was sentenced to fifteen yea'.z, at thtf
federal prison here, where he is to
servo tho term. However, the prison
officials do not expect to seo Mr.
Morse for several years, as he will
undoubtedly fight the case through
the higher courts before submitting
to the penalty imposed.
If Mr. Morse is brought here Inter
est will be added to his confinement
by reason of the fact that “Pop”
Dodge, who figured In tho trial of
Abe Hummel, the New York divorce
lawyer who was sent to prison for
a year because of unprofessional- t »n-
duct, lived here ' as manager of
tho Arsgon hotel for several years.
Dodge confessed to having been In
duced by. Hummel to swear falsely
in a suit for divorce brought by
Morse’s brother. Hummel In reality
represented Charles W. Mows.
The search and flight to get pos
session of Dodge, In which thousands
Were spent, is one of the dramatic
Incidents of American criminality.
Mr. Morse will be allowed no spe
cial privileges when he becomes an
Inmate of tho penitentiary here. He
will have to wear the stripes, perform
menial labor, and bo known by a
number ns tho other prisoners.
Ho will not bo the first noted pris
oner tho walls of the* prison have en
closed. Greene and Gaynor, the noted
contractors involved in tho Capt. C ar
ter frauds, were fully as prominent as
moro so *before their incarceration b(

as for a second his sneer gave place to
a look of sorrow and his voice seemed

WASHINGTON. Nov. T.—There Is a
well grounded report In cabinet circles
that Ellhu Root will make every effort to
Induce W. H. Tsft to release him from
the secretaryship of state on March 4.
He has gained‘about all the honor that
Is to be had In tho cabinet and he Is de

the senatorshlp to succeed Senator Platt,
but he will engage In no scramble *for It.
Several names already are being men

vacancy in the cabinet. Among them Is
that of Ambassador Whltelaw Reid, who
is a close friend of both President Roose
velt and Mr. Toft nnd versed In diplo
macy. As minister to France, special
plenipotentiary to the Jubilee of Queen
Victoria and the coronation of King Ed
ward and now ambassador to tho court of
St James. Mr. Reid's qualifications are
recognized.
However, there probably will be mors
competition for the portfolio of state than
for any other in the eahlnet. There nre
a number of other men. promlnsnt In the
party councils nnd also with records, who
will be considered.

without question, the most strenuous of

a .noticeable fact too. that In nearly
every instance the fatality or Injury can
be traced directly to the undertrained

Of the sevsn deaths that have resulted

THE GREAT GEORGIA STATE FAIR
HAD AN AUSPICIOUS CLOSING
WITH CROWDS TO VERY LAST
Work of Dismantling and Packing up Is Well Under Way.
President Jones Thanks and Praisos Those Whose
Efforts Insured the uccess of the Fair
Tho Maoon Georgia 8tat# Fair cams
to an end Itst night.
At 11 o'clock tho myriad of lights on
Happy Street, the gayest of midways,
flashed out, and all was over. Even to
the last thero wero crowds on the
grounds.
Yesterday was Negro Day. and while
the patronage ot members of the race
was not as large as had been antici
pated, the attendance was good never
theless. During the ' forenoon and
throughout the entlro afternoon the
grounds, the buildings and the ftildtvay
presented their usual busy aspect-
scenes of bustle and activity and of
merry-making.
About 4 o'clock. ho wev *r. the
"break-up" edmmenesd. At that hour,
the shows closed, the spieling ceaseu,
and the work of dismantling and pack
ing started. Only a few of the big
attractions remained on Happy Street
for the delectation of last night's
crowds, while, of course, all of the
exhibit halls were dark and sllpnt.
There will be Little doing at the fair
grounds today, but early tomorrow
morning things will • start humming
ago In. Practically every dray and
hauling wagon In the city will be en
gaged in taking away exhibits, tents
and lumber to the depots, stores and
other places. It will be several days
before the big agricultural displays will
have been packed for transportation
back home, and as much- time - will
elapse before all of tho horsemen leave
for other tracks. It will be some
time, at least, before Central City Paik
fails to show evidences of a fair that
wns; and it will not be so very long
before tho same grounds and the same
buildings, with the addition of a few
others, will Indicate fly their appear
ance tho advent of another fair equal
ly as great.
"I am. of course, more than delight
ed with the outcome of the fair," said
President iBen L. Jones last night,
looking somewhat relieved as the result
of the lifting of tho strain that has
rested upon him. "And I feel espe
cially grateful to the tnen whoso earn
est and energetic co-operation has
served to tnnke the fair or.e of tho
most successful In the history of tho
state,” ho continued. "Without their
aid, all would have been a failure. I
am particularly appreciative of the
groat work done by General Manager
W. A. Huff before his unfortunate ac
cident. His efforts alone Insured the
opening of the fair, with all In peffect
readiness, at tho scheduled time. His
injury was most regrettable, as it de
prived him of seeing tho happy result
of all his labors nnd crippled the di
recting forco ot the fair to a marked
extent. However, the association wan
extremely fortunate in having such
able assistants to Mr. Huff as Major
Winter, Monroe Jones and Hairy Rob
erts.”
Mr. Jones is also lavish In his praise
of Messrs. Frank Powers nnd Jesso
Harris, of the privilege and conces
sions committee, who were responsi
ble for the'organisation of a great
midway on Happy Street and for the
successful operation of the same.
"These two men.” states the president
of the fair association, '’sacrificed their
personal Interests and worked hard
day end night. They received all help
required from the other loyal members
of their committee. Thanks to Mr.
Harris and Mr. Powers, the ehows,
the eating stands and similar busi
nesses were conducted to tho satisfac
tion of the public and to the material
and pecuniary heneflt of the fair.”
Tho other officials of the fair aaio-
clatlon Join with President Jones In
complimenting Chief 8*m Weatcott,
Lieut. Watson. License Inspector
Herrington and the police force in
general for the very creditable work
none by them during the fair. That
there wns never tho least disorder on
the grounds was due, they state, to
the splendid work of tho police de
partment, who patrolled Che grounds
and assisted the officer* of the asso
ciation In Innumerable ways with
great and commendable seal. It Is
said that better order obtained on the
£ rounds than at any other fair over
•Id in Macon.
Not only tiie officers but the gen
eral public have more than* once ex
pressed admiration for tho masterly
work done In illuminating the grounds
generally and Happy Street in
particular. The contract part of this
work was done by Morris Putsel, un
der the supervision of City Electrician
Humphries, who also looked after the
methods and arrangements for light
ing tho tent-shows and other attrac
tions.
Before th* ending, President.Jones
expressed to President J. J. Conner.
Secretary Martin V. Calvin, the de
partment superintendents and other
officials of the Stats Agricultural So
ciety h|a thanks for the part
they contributed towards the suc
cess of the fair. To them goes
much of* the credit for bring
ing the fine agricultural dis
plays. both county and individual, to
tho fair, nnd for tho securing of tne
exhibits of machinery, farming Im
plements and livo stock.
ft remained for the public to show
appreciation' of tho race* held during
the fair. Hundreds lined tho IracU
evsry afternoon and much general In
terest wns manifested In the rants,
which were pronounced th* best of
•the kind ever conducted In Macon.
The truth of such was 'Attested by
the records mado every day, showing
tho high class of the horse* brought
here. Moro than ono track record
wns broken. Mr. James R. Illcks. Jr.,
Chairman of tho racing committee,
was practically solely responsible for
the fine entries secured and for tho

1 It will not bo long ere work for tho

thnt there wmild bo some money In

Contention of Government
Anti-Trust Law Violated
Is Sustained
NEW YOnfc. Nov. 7—Tho contin-
tlon of th* government that the Ameri
can Tobacco Company Is a„ true* op
erating In restraint of trade and com
petition In violation of the Sherman
anti-trust law, was sustained today
in decisions handed'down by Judges
Lacombe. Coxe and Noyes in the
United States circuit court here,
Judge Ward handed down a dissent
ing opinion.
In tho suit against ths American To-
bacco Company, which wns prosecuted
by James C. Reynolds and Edwin P.
Grosvenor, special assistants of tho
United State* attorney general, the
government asked for an injunction
dissolving the combination of the
American Tobacco Company and It*
sixty companies on tho ground that It
was Illegal In that It operated In re
straint of trade and commerce. The
government also asked the United j
States circuit court to appoint a re
ceiver to wind up tho affairs of thej
allied corporations.
Appealed to Higher Court.
While finding that there was an Il
legal combination as charged Judges
Lacombe, Coxe and Noyes In their
opinion say that Injunctions should
Issue against all the defendants ex
cept th* United Cigar Store* Company
and th* R. P. Richardson, Jr.. Com-1
pany. The injunctions m however,
stayed pending an appeal to the
United States supreme court.
Th* petition asking for th* appoint
ment of a receiver to take charge of

was refused as being 'impracticable
and wholly unnecessary."
The Imperial Tobacco Company nnd

the complaints against these com pa- ,

The government’s complaint against the
court today.
Extent of the Company’s Operations.
The rtult had been In progress for many
months and great volumes of tertlmoify
were taken by both the government and
on behalf of the defendant compnnlrs. It
developed from this testimony that the
American Tobacco Company and Its sub
sidiaries practically controlled the tobac
co trade of the world. This conlrol, so
fer as foreign markets Is concerned, was
shown to have been <nf comparatively re
cent origin, however, and came about
through the formation of a working
agreement with s great British corpora-
tlort which previous! yhsd controlled the
production and consumption not only In
Europe, but Asia as well. The American
Tobacco Company was formed under the
laws of New Jersey In 1904, whrn th*
old American Tobacco Company, the con
solidated company nnd the continental
company were merged under a elngPi
