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 ■ ■■ Are combined Any kind you want and the best in the Shoes we sell, of each kind.

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.

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. Roosevelt seoms not only to be an iconoclast, but of late years he seems to have be come a painfully pragmatic preacher. He defends and pro claims the axiomatic at the slight est provocation.- He is showing a reprehensible tendency to lee ture the public on self-evident propositions, and to do it with a suspicion of sensational purpose as, notably, in his warping against race-sujcide and his re cent sermon on decent living The people of this country, if am any judge of every day human nature, do not liked to be leotur ed.
