Calhoun Square aa It Wnnld Appear
After living Reconstructed.
Bo much Interval haa been aroused In
the reaolutlon offered by Alderman Dixon
at th laat meeting of Council, calling
upon Chatham'* member* of tho General
Assembly to obtain legislation at the com
ing session of the legislature to author
ise the Council to open Barnard and
Abercom streets through the squares on
those streets, that the Morning News re
publishes this morning the cut prepared
from a plan drawn several months ago In
the city engineer’s office by Assistant En
gineer J. W. Howard at the request of
Alderman Dixon. The plan was published
st the time, but as no detlnlts action was
taken by the city It has to some extent
passed from the public mind Many people
have a very haxy Idea aa to the manner
In which the squares would be affected
by the proposed change, and the plan will
serve to give them a clearer conception
of what is proposed.
The cut shows Calhoun square aa It
would appear under the plan advocated by
Aklerman Dixon, the broken lines show-
Ing the square as It now ezlsts. It will
be seen that Taylor street would be left
open on the north, and Gordon street on
the south, while Aboroom street would he
opened through the center of the square
with the street railway’s double track*
about the center of th# street. Wayne
street would ha blocked ofT on either side
of Ihe square Ahercom street would di
vide Ihe square Into two parks of equal
size.
It will he seen that although a wide
street 1* opened through the center, the
combination of the two park* I* greater
than that of the present park In the
square. This I* because the present
streets on the east and west of the square
are both about the same width as the
rr> will' hit I* pro[*i*-*l th <>|>rn through
the renter, so there 1* a clear gain In
prk area of Ihe width of one afreet.
There la also some gain In park area In
taking up Ihe rounded corners of the park
which doe* not appear eleorly In tha plan.
The 'lotted lines Inside the park area*
Indicate the sidewalk* and also show th.
divisions which would mark Ihe renovate,!
square. It Is not proposed to do away
with any of Ihe sidewalks In the square.
There Is a mistaken Impression on thla
subject also. The sidewalks will remain
and will be extended to the property lines
on the east and west sides, so that
access to any part of the
square or to any part of the
residences fronting on It would be Just
the some as at preeent.
One of the advantages claimed for the
plan Is that It will open Abercorn street
north and south on a straight line and
thus permit of the Improvement of one of
the most desirable residence streets In the
city. The Increase In park area Is another
one Of the alleged advantages and It Mr
also claimed that the carrying of tha
parks to Ihe property line would <M to
the appearance and Increase the value of
the property there This It I* claimed,
would more than offset any Ineonvenlen.-a
to the resident* on the east and .*t
sides of the squares hy reason of the
closing of the wide streets which now In
tersect Ihe trust lot*.
There I* much oppoa'tlon among cltl
sens generally, however, to any change
whatever In the present form of the
squares and ll Is evident that If Alderman
plxon succeed# in carrying through his
Idee, either In Counci or th# Legl* attire
It will be after a very stiff fight with ihe
many opponents of the measure.

Valdoeta, Oa.. Oct S) —Hon lVye Brown,
president of the Stale Agricultural So
ciety. spent part of yesterday and to-day
In this city looking at the Btale Fair
grounds and making an Investigation as
to the arrangements which were being
made to entertain the crowds. He stated
this morning that he was delighted with
the outlook for a successful stats fair.
"It is going to be the best fair ever
held in Georgia.'' he said. "I am already
thoroughly convinced of that. We have
never had as many county eahtbtts at a
fair before and I don't think the various
counties had gone Into their work more
enthusiastically. I am much pleased at
the arrangements which are being made
to accommodate the rYowd*. I have seen
the answers which the cltixens have made
to the Inquiries as to hoarding visitors.
Issued by the bureau of Information and.
judging from these response*. 1 think I
can safely say that greater preparation
has never been made in any city for the
accommodation of visitors. 1 had some
misgivings at first as to Valdosta abil
ity to handle a state fair, hut all of that
haa passed away. The fair le going to
be worth a great deal, to the whole state,
and especially to t ie southern r- -lion "
Mr Brown's feeling* In regard to the
fair are those of every visitor who ha*
been here during the past few week*
New attractions are signed almost every
day, while notice come* of new Individual
nnd county exhibits every day or so
Among the very attractive exhibits that
have been heard from this week I* an ex
hibit of fine sheep by Campbell Ac Son. of
Mac hanlcmllle. o. They will have forty
head of Merino. Southdown, Oxford and
Dorweta and the flock Is said to be one of
the finest In the world. A. S Warden, of
I'lysaes, I’a., will have a herd of fine De
von cattle on exhibition, and Dr. P. Phil
Hpe. a famous breeder of cattle from
Waco, Tex . will hava two carloads of
Herfortls and Durham* This Iceing the
last exhibit of the a.aaon for these, and
not desiring to pay the freight upon them
hack home, they will place them on sale
here at the end of the week, thus giving
the people of this section an npjortunlty
to stock their farms with these very line
varieties.
Rare* and County F.xhlhlfa.
The entries for the race* closed n! 11
o'clock last night ard Valdosta has the
distinction of having filled every class
with a fine list of entrle*. The manager*
have put on a special race of 2:39 trotting
for a purse of S4(O to acomm,slate the
overflow. The racing feature* promise to
he among the best ever witnessed In th<-
state.
It la expected that the county exhibit*
will begin to arrive next Tuesday ard
there will be about sixteen car* of them
not Including two or three car load*
which will go to make up the Lowndes
county exhlhti. The fair manager* have
arranged with the electric car pop# io
transport the exhibits to the fair ground-,
thus giving a quick and cheap node cf
transportation to exhibitors.
The manager* detdre all of the exhibits
arranged by next Saturday nigh* if pos
alble. eo that th* gates will open upon a
perfect show Monday morning, which will
