The State Fair—South West
Georgia. 0
WHAT A COUNTRY EDITOR SEES AND
HEARS.
It is sometimes pleasant and
profitable to shake off the dust of
a quiez country town for a few
days, and mingle with the great
crowds /bat jostle eacu other along
the thoroughfraes of the cities and
crowd the trsins that move like a
binl of passage lrom one section
of the country to another. Having
a business engagement in Souib
era Georgia, we arranged to take
in the State Fair at Macon, and
see what progress Georgia was
making in the industrial arts.
Boarding the early morning train
Wednesday, we slopped a few
hours in the Gate City. Atlanta
always has some sensat’on, her
restless population must have ex
citemen/. Jus/ now, the whole
town is in a whirlpool of excite
ment over /he approaching olec»
tion on prohibition, In the hoi el
•corridors, counting houses, street
cars, on the streets, livery stables
and shops, the all pervading sub
ject of conversation is ‘-Wet or
dry.” Great public meetings are
held at nights at the Court House
and in the chuiches, when speak
ers, white and colored, Democrat
and Republican, exhort the voters;
societi s sre organized and the
distinction? of cast and the differ
ences in religion are forgotten for
the time in the absorbing subject
Jew and Gentile, native born and
stranger, who stops within her
gates. Even the women are allign
iug tl emselves on one side or the
other. The most amusing part of
the contest is that both sides claim
that they will carry the county by
two to one,
The result will be impel tant to
the State. Atlanta is the capi ul
and the most progressive city in
the S'ate. The issue is squarely
made, and if w/iiskey carries the
election, prohibi/ion will get a
black eye in the S/a/e, if prohibi
tion succeeds it will be regarded
as the Waterloo that will in a great
measure settle the question in the
State, for the country distric/s are
rapidly falling into line, ami the
great battles must be sough/ in
the ci/ies.
From now until the election, on
the 23rd ins/., all the moans known
to political warfare will be used
by both sides, and the result will
be doubtful until the ballot box,
the final arbiter iu American poli
tics. settles it.
At 4 p. m., wb were packed like
a sardine in a coach of the East
TenD. Va. & Ga. Railroad. One
dollar for the round trip from At
lanta to Macon, had the effect of
filling its trains- This road is an
lshmaelite among the Rail Roads
in Ga. Its hand is agairst every
mar, and every man’s hand is
against if, speaking figuiatively.
It is the great competing line with
the State Road and the Central.
These two roads control the pas
senger depot in Atlanta, and they
exclude the East Tenn from run
ning its carl into the depot, there
by giving the other lines the ad
vantage over this new can didst i
for public favor. In order to over
Come these advantages and force
a recognition of its claims to a
fair divide, ihis road has cut rates,
until this week it absolutely haul
ed passengers from Dahon to At
lanta for fifteen cents, and to Ma
con and return, a distance of near
ly two hundred miles, for $1
This road does not hesitate to run
its fast tiftins at fiom thirty to Ar
ts "dies an hour.
Macon is the place for a Geor
gia fair, Its central lccv ion, nu
merous lines of irarsporiation, and
magnifiient park, within a mile of
the center of the city, give it stipe
ricr advantages. Its greatest draw
back is a want of hotel accommo
dations to comfortably handle t e
crowds tha 1 gather there.
We arrived there at 9 o'clock
and found great difficulty In re*
ting a place to stay. Hundreds
of people were bunting lodging,
and in some instances paying threfc
dollars tor a bed.
Thursday we took in the fair.
The fair ground is a charming
p’ace Located immediately on
the river, its beautiful grove, tine
walks and drives at once charm
the visitor. Th buildings are com j
modious, but hardly large enough
tir occommodate the large crowd.
Tug race course is elegant and
the accommodations f«'r sioik am
ple.
We found Maj. Geo H Jot es, of
this county, in charge of the Ma
chinery department. White there ]
was much to interest, tue display
of machinery was not so full as we
expected to see.
The farm and field department
was excelleid. As goo--* as we ov
•r saw at a S.ate f air. This and
the cattle show were the two best
departments W T e haven ver seen
a better display of fine cattle, and
especially Jerseys. Each day thtie
was an auction of Jersey cattle,
and the prices show that while
the demand is great, the day for
fancy pri-es is pa-sed. The stuck
that struck us as the Pert f«_r gen
eral purposes is the grade Jerseys
—a cross between the Devon and
Jersey. They are fine milkers and
butter cows, are kind and make
fine beef and work stock. Fo r
general purposes we think iLey
are supei ior to the full breeds, al
though they do not command such
fancy prices.
The amusements were bird shoot
ing, bicycle races, trotting and
tunning races. The side show
men were there in profusion—the
glass hen and other humbugs were
in full force and gave the coun/ry
cousins a chance to spend theii
small change.
The best display there, was the
Georgia crowd. They were there
from the mountains and the wire
grass, from the cities, towns and
country. The solid old farmer,
and his rosy cheeked girls—the
bustling business man, profession
als and clergy, spider legged
dudes, the city girls with /heir
frizzles and bangs, and the old lad
dies who who wau/ed to see the
quilts and pumpkins, about a doz
en can lidates lor Governor were
smiling and bowing, the jockey
and sporting man, pickpocket and
sneak thief. The lat er were there j
for business and they put in good
time, on the cars at the hotels, in >
tact everywhere a crowd aseetn-.
bled The crowd wai estimated
in round numbers at from twelve
to fifteen thousand, and furnished
pood picking for the light fingered
gentry. There is a sad yet co.aic
cai expression upon a man’s face
who feels for his treasure and finds
that it has taken unto itself wings.
His deep sorrow over his loss is
minglad with an exprrssico of
wonder how his pocket book cou'd
be so skillfully abstracted without
his knowledge, and chagrin that
he was so easily caught.
The success of this fair will lead
io its permanent establishment at
Macon, and while we think the
most useful fairs ave local ones,
where local competition in agri
culture and s : oek exhibits between
neighbors breeds that rivalry that
is tha mother of improvemeuZ and
piogrese, as has Deen demonstrate
ed in Coob, Thomas, Clayton, and
other county associations. Yet
when the proper interest is matii
f ictfed, these state fairs accom
plish greai good and should be en
eouraged and liberally putronized.
A run of one hundred miles
brought us to Albany for break
fast. This beautiful city is im
proving rapidly. Her seven arte
sian wells aie her glory. They
have transformed her from one of
the most sickly towns of the State
to a health resort, where hun»
dreds of people epenu the winter
to get relief from the ilb that flesh
ia heir to. Her broad streets, large
warehouses aud handsome public
and private buildings, and grow
•ng trade make i/ a desirable place
to five at, aud its population is
rapidly increasing.
During that day we traveled
across to Biakely, the county site
of Early, passing through parts
of Dougherty, Colhoun and Early
counties. This was once tli« gar
den spot of Georgia. The fine
cotton lands of Dougherty have
beeD famous for half a century
Before iLe war il was regarded as
the finest cotton growing sections
of the State.
The face of the county is nearly
as level as a prarie, with hardly un
undulation enough to drain it prop
erly. Immense fields stretch in
every direction, easily cultivated
and productive. The soil is amu
latto, very loose and free au.-l the
average crop used lo be forty
acres to the horse. During the
war this section having ab ndens
ed cotton, furnished the Confedtr
acy with corn. Here were the
large plantations of Lccket',
Bond, Gov Colquitt, aud many of
noted farmers cf the SfiPo.
But twen.y yexrs have made a
wonderful change. Thousands of
acres of these fine corn and cotton
lands are covered with old field
sedge. Fences have gore down
and farm houses look like a widx
ow woman liven there The fields
of cotton will not compare il their
yield with the ordinary Gwinnett
land, and from a hasty inspection
from a Hatl Hoad train, we would
say that it will lake an average of
from three to four acres to make a
bale of cotton. There is no evi
dences of improve nent in thecoun
try. In a ride of fifty miles we
did not see a single new farm
bouße, outside of the towns We
were suprised and regretted to see
this goodly heritage going to
waste. We inquired for the cause
of an old and very intelligent citi
zen. He explained that the lands
had been given up to the negroes,
who constitute two thirds of the
population. The white people
are moving off to the tow js and
leaving their splendid countty
homes to be cultivated under the
tenant, system, and they do not
produce enough to make them
profitable under the system of la
bor that, is depended on. Nearly
every farm you find is for sale, and
lands that thirty years ago sold for
thirty dollars per acre can now be
purchased at from three to five.
While the climate is vot regarded
as heal/hy for white people, those
we saw looked well
Towns cannot make a Country
and as the country goes down ar.d
agriculture languishes, it is only a
question of time when the towns
feel the infection. Track farming
promised to redeem this section,
but this has prove! unreliable.
7’he t egro ard all cotton theory
Lave ruined this country, and
there is no/ one /epth of of tho
progress or improvement that
characterizes Not/h Ga. The ne
gro is tho best labor we ever had,
but lef: to themselves the est untry
g ,ei dov n just in proportion to
their rela ive number with the
whites,
Every fall hundreds of our
young men go West, hunting
cheap homes. They can find more
desirable homes in South Georgia
widi all the advantages of mar
kets, Rail Roads »nd every con veil
ieuc-e already provid* d. No lands
to clear, bouses oi fences to build.
The town of Bleaklv is beat’ti
fully located, iu a heal/hy locality,
with oak groves that remined us
of Noith Georgia, It has rather
an nntiquated appearance but is a
place of some business pretentions.
Standing in from of the Court

It is a flag pole, nearly one hun

The new Kail Road from Macon
to Covington does not seem to
have struck the people of Macon
favorably or the citizens are not
disposed to invest their hard earn
ings in Rail Roods. The commits
tee appointed to solicit subscrip
tion, after drumming the town for
$50,000, have only been able lo
secure SIO,OOO, They have became
disheartened.
