Mr. J. H. Davis, president, and.
Mr. J. D. Martin,, treasurer, of
the Houston County Fair Associ
ation, were, in the city August 81,
in conference with Mr. W. A.
Huff, manager, of the State Fair.
The object of their visit to Mar
con was to make, application for
Bpace at the park for a Houston
county exhibit. Manager Huff
visited the park and located them.
It goes without the saying that
old Houston will come with fly
ing colors; Messrs. Davis and
Martin are enthusiastic over the
prospects of a big county fair at
Perry, and from the assembled
exhibit at the county fair will be
selected a county exhibit for the
State Fair. V .
“We want the people of Macon
to visit the Houston county fair,”
said President Davis, “and we
will give them an old-fashioned
weloome. We are leaving no
work undone to make the oounty
lair a big success, and the people
of Houston county are working
as a unit.
“We are coming to the State
Fair in force,” he continued,
“and propose to make an exhibit
that will not only be an evidence
of Houston county’s resources,
but one that will advertise to the
thousands who visitthe State Fair
that our oounty isoue of the best
in Georgia.”

WASHINGTON LETTER. .
Roosevelt as A Writer.
Washington Correspondence.
Since Mr. Roosevelt became
President of the United States
and has been in the limelight,
the people of the county who
want to keep up with the times
and keep themselves posted on all
the things that can be said for
and against a man in puplic life,
have been reading the many boots
that have been written by the fe
cund pen of the man who now
occupies the highest office in the
nation. Some of the students of
this city have found that a pecu
liarity of Roosevelt’s writings is
that he has* had very few kind
words to say of any man who
ever occupied a high place in this
country, that on the contrary he
has lambasted the life out of
most of them. Take, for instance,
his opinion of Thomas Jefferson,
expressed in his ♦‘Naval War of
1812.” Iu volume xi., page 198,
of that work from the pen of
Theodore Roosevelt, he was in
temperate enough to say that Mr.
Jefferson “was perhaps the most
incapable Executive that ever
filled the Presidential chair. ’ ’ That
seems to be pretty tough on-the
author of the Declaration of In
dependence, the man who acquir
ed the Louisiana territory, who

Cotton in German Markets.
The German textile industries
find that they experience a con
stantly growing demand for cot
ton and the attempt has been
made to grow it in the German*
African colonies. According to.
the trials already made the suc
cess of this new undertaking is
said to be almsot assured. Cot
ton plantations have been estab
lished in Togo, Kkmerun, Ger
man Southwest Africa and Ger
man EasV Afrioa. A German
syndicate also contemplates the
oulture of bottom in Asia Minor.
In Togo the development of the
cotfon oulture has been success
ful, so much so that the B&oond
yoar’B crop—-that of 1902—was*
as large again as that of the first,
year, 50,000 pounds of Ootton
laving been exported. The oosfc
of producing 500 pounds' of cot
ton, exclusive of bus mbs manage
ment, and amortization, was
205.85 marks ($48.87); while the
selling price realized was 848.50
marks ($78.71).
Great efforts are being made
to further the cotton culture in
the German colonies, aiid the
most important cotton mills of
Germany have, after thorogh tri

President Roosevelt, has from
time to time been subjected to
considerable criticism because it
was alleged thut^ he had permit
ted the railroad companies to
furnish him with the special train
with which he made his western
trip, but the more conservative
newspapers have refrained from
mentioning the subject because
they could not ascertain the facts.
Now, however, a “friend” of the
President come6 out with an au
thorized statement in which he
admits that Mr, Roosevelt trav
eled complimentary but defends
that course on the ground that
Mr. Roosevelt was merely follow
ing the precedent set by his pre
decessors, Cleveland, Harrison
and McKinley. In his statement
of the case the “friend” is mista
ken, however. Harrison and Mc
Kinley traveled at the expense of
the railroad companis but .Mr,.
Cleveland always paid his ; ow,h,
expenses, including', of course,
the cost of the special trains on
which he traveled. Mr. Cleve
land, appears - to have, been the
only recent President who hesita
ted to please himself under obli
gations to the railroads.

not only to be an iconoclast, but
of late years he seems to have be

preacher. He defends and pro
claims the axiomatic at the slight
est provocation.- He is showing
a reprehensible tendency to lee
