THE FAIR WAS GOOD.
The Next One Will Be Better.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of last week Houston county was il
lustrated at Perry, and hundreds of
people were delighted with the illus
tration each day.
Through the kindness of Captain
Cater and the Perry Rifles, the ar
mory park and building were used
by the fair association. The appoint
ments were not all that could be de
sired, but they answered fairly well.
The exhibits of art, household ar
ticles, ladies’ handiwork, etc., were
in the armory building; agricultural,
horticultural and garden products
were in two large tents, and the
poultry, hogs, cattle, horses and
mules were accommodated in coops,
pens and stalls made for the^ pur
pose.
It is not our purpose here to at
tempt a description of the fair, nor
of the amusements presented.
The management was not perfect,
and the daily programs were not
presented with exact precision, but
theife is no room for severe criticism,
and by all who attended the fair has
beefi, declared a success, one of the
very best ever seen. It was not the
best Houston could have made, but
it was decidedly good. The Hous
ton county fail* of 1902 will be very
much better.
In nothing exhibited was there a
lack of quality, though in each de
partment there should have been
greater quantity.
In a population of at ieast 1,500
white voters, less than 50 men made
exhibits. There will be a very much
better record on this line next year.
From early Wednesday morning
to Friday nigh| the grounds pre
sented a lively scene, with faces
showing good humor, health, refine
ment and beauty.
. The visitors from Macon, Mar-
shallfille, Montezuma, and all sec
tions of the county, were unanimous
in favorable comment. Even some
of the. county who had doubted and
failed to assist in any way to make
the fair a success, declared in sub
stance: “I could have shown some
products better than any I see, but
I didn’t believe the fair would
amount to much. You can count
me in for the next fair, and I’ll' do
all I can to kelp make the best coun
ty fair ever seen in Georgia.”
Our people can do just that thing,
and they will.
The opening exercises Wednesday
morning consisted of an address of
welcome by Mayor Hodges, respond
ed to by Col. C. C. Duncan in be
half of the fair association. . Then
Mrs. F. M. King delivered crosses
of honor to 32 Confederate veterans,
delivering a short address that elic
ited pinch applause. Then Hon.
DuPont Guerry delivered an excel
lent address to the veterans.
On Thursday morning Rev. Al
bert S. Dix, pastor of the Perry
Baptist church, delivered ah educa
tional address that was strong, log
ical and eloquent.
Friday morning Mr. J. B. Hunni-
cutt, editor of the Southern Cultiva
tor, talked to the farmers about ag
riculture. No better speech on that
subject was ever delivered to a Hous
ton audience. It was practical, true,
strong and eloquent, dealing with
facts, suggestions and possibilities.
Each day a pleasing program was
presented, with races Thursday af
ternoon and a tournament the clos
ing feature on Friday.
The display of Houston raised
horses and mules was a revelation as
to quantity and quality.
The display of ladies’ handiwork
and household products—quilts, la
ces, needlework of all kinds, jellies,
preserves, pickles, cake, butter,wine,
etc., cannot be surpassed anywhere.
There was only one display of
canned fruit, and that was in the!
Weilston exhibit.
monsters, and the entire exhibit was
decidedly good.
There was a splendid school ex
hibit, consisting, of maps, object
drawing and written Class exercises,
by pupils of Perry J Public School,
Toy School and Crisp Academy^
We refrain from mentioning here
the name of any Exhibitor, superin
tendent, manager or. judge, for all
did the best they could.
Two nights the Wizard Oil Con
cert Company divided receipts with
the fair association, and from this
source about $60 was received.
Mr. J. W. Shinholser of Macon
kindly exhibited a locomobile with
out expense to the fair association^
He sells these vehicles, and all oth
ers used.
Hon. E. B. Lewis, our immediate
representative in congress, was an
interested visitor on Friday. He
spoke of the fair in very complimen
tary terms.
The gate receipts and. fair conces
sions will more than pay the expens
es of the fair..
The groiinds were thoroughly po
liced day and night, and only two
cases of disorder were reported to
the mayor. These occurred Wed
nesday and Thursday nights, re
spectively, and the mayor dismissed
them without penalty, with the in
junction to “go and sin no more.”
There was some apprehension that
there might be pickpockets or thefts,
but only one case of this kind devel
oped. At the depot a negro man
stole the purse and railroad ticket
belonging tp a negro woman. The
money and ticket were recovered,
and the thief is in jail.
A portion of the expense of ar
ranging for this fair is in the shape
of a permanent investment for fail*
purposes.
In every respect the fair associa
tion will be in better shape for,the
next faiiv Just now the inclination
is for the fair to be held durihg the
first week in October, 1902.
The most substantial compliment
to the Houston county fair was the
purchase of several articles of the
agricultural exhibit for use in the
Georgia exhibit at a Florida fair to
be held this month. These pur
chases were made by Gol. W. L
Glessner, immigration commissioner
of the G. S. & F. Railway Co. He
spoke in most most complimentary
manner of the fair as a whole, anc.
especially of the ladies’ department
and the field crop exhibits. :
The managing committee held a
meeting Tuesday, and as soon as
practicable checks and specials will
be forwarded tb those to whom pre
miums were awarded. ■ ^

Roosevelt and The Negro.
For an explanation that does not
explain, the following from our
Washington corresponnent concern
ing the Roosevelt-Washington inci
dent may be peculiar. It seems to
place emphasis upon an; opinion that
Roosevelt prdposes to do as his in
clination and judgment dictate, re
gardless of whatever other people
may think or day. If he sticks to
that all through the category of of
ficial action, especially when money
influence is concerned, it may work
out in the neighborhood of right:
“President Roosevel t has explain
ed his action in inviting Booker
Washington to dinner t.o several
personal friends, not as an explana
tion but merely casually, in conver
sation. He shys that he had no idea
of the storm of criticism that his ac
tion would provoke; in fact, the sub
ject never occurred to him as one
calling for a comment at aQ. This
was by no means the first occasion
on which he had eaten with a negro.
On the plains, in the mountains, ifi
his own home and the governor’s
mansion in New York, he had asked
others to( dine with him in a matter
of course way, not caring as to the
color of his guest’s skin so long as
otherwise he was all right. So, on
this occasion he wanted to talk to
Professor Washington and invited
him as the easiest way of bringing
about a quiet talk. He had no idea
of raising the negro as a race, of of
making an issue before the country,
or anything of the kind. At the
same time, Mr. Roosevelt is careful
to state that if he had known all
that the invitation would bring
forth, he should, nevertheless, have
invited Professor Washington. This
is the explanation; whether it con
dones or aggravates the original of
fense, is a question for the consider-
j ation of the south.”||j
