The result* d,*montrat that Maj Hyals and Mr. J k.-on kn w what was before them, and th*y w-m to Maroii and did It. In brief the result of the report ma 1 • to Mayor Myers i* that ftavunnah g* ’ thi- fair; that many member* of the Htnu f • r Committee hive promised to do ev erythiiig in their pwer to aid toward it? success, by making Individual exhibit* ars* otherwise, that Havinnuh must g> to work Immediately after the holiday l ' con hale the auhscriptlon lists and get our prospectus showing whs exhibit* or ex pec led. and what premium* wth be of fered. and finally that Savannah will gi., the state the best fair that has ever b--n known. MJ nyl, who I* him.rlf nMnhp. of the Htate Fair Committee of the Ag ricultuxal Hociety.had to make use of •*.!.- sub i able diplomacy in order to carry Id? point; and in this work Mr J.t k .n ai l e-l nm ter tally.

Hyal* with • gard to lhe fair commitc*-*' wasai * >lutc ly correct; that Maj liyals kmw Just what he had to do before he got to Ma con. and he did it cosily. As an Instance of how the committ flt. tr at leant some member* of It. .Maj Hyal* said on. member mat**) to him that the fair committee would h* gladvio have the fair held In Havanncth, nd w*ould have l*een g ad to have had I p hero before, "but.” he said, did rwvt know pm p>opte wanted us down there. We are glad to h.str that you and vant us, and w.* will and. lighted to have the fair them " When on#- of the member* of the com - rnitten asked Maj. Hy als what Snvat.nah c-oukl do for the fair. Maj. fiyais r - siunded. ' Just give us t o chance and if we don't give you n hotter showing tnan you have had be foie, go some w h* re else." So It came at**ut that with a little talk ing In twhalf of Savannah by Maj Ilya’s and Mr. Jack son and little diplomacy, the fair was secured for this city. Mayor Myers was deeply Interested in the report made by thest* gentlemen He listened close y to every detail of what had transplrM b‘fore the committee |n Macon. Following this. Mr. Ja- kson -tated that he had talked with a number of mem’*erw of the committee personally and cne of them from Greene county had j stated that hi* county wool*l *end from 3,00 b t 6,000 p’Ople to Savannah during •he fair. Another r from Floyd county stated that his county would send people, ami slmLar statements were made by other members of the commit tee. Such a**re the statements that Mr Ja< ks<kt) said he had no hesitation In **<■*- .mmting that Havannab would secure dur ing the tso weeks of th* fair anywhere from Mu.<loo to I&O.Om people. This esti mate. he wild, whs not XAKgerated. but w*h bared on the statements of those most Interested, and the results shown at the Htate Fairs that have lun heal at other pomtii in the state. The time for the fair was not settled upon, but Maj. Ryals said n committee' from the State Fair (’ntnmltt' *• would mart a Savannah committee some time In January and that point and other de tails would be arranged. These gentle man that the best time to boat the fair would be the latter part of o tober or the firs! of November. There are many reasons why It should cam*' at that time of the year, and It Is probable that that will be about the lime When Maj. Ryals ‘and Mr. Jarkon hd concluded their rejswt to the Mayor a dis cussion of some important |otnt in con nection with the fair whs taken up. !l w'hs decided that no further meeting of the citizens should be called until after the holdiay* nre over. Of course, every ‘--I- la busy • thta Him, tad an can now be hwit by a brief delay. How ever. the matter will be taken up at the earliest possllde moment. A meeting of the cltlsena will la- called right after the holidays, and no grass will bo allowhl to grow under Savannah’s feet. It is the Intention to have the meet ing after the holidays take at on •* to complete the atsbm rlptlon list and r -ganise for business, and at the same ilm committees will U? a|>po.nted and the prue|>ev':us ojm! list of premiums will be prepared for distribution throughout the state. A committee will also Is* nam and to meet a committee from the Stair Fair Commtttft** and arrange whatever details are ntnesaary In that conro . tlon. Among other suggestions Mayor Myers wanted to know why the fair cannot be made representative of the whole state. It was Ids idea timt the mechanical prod ucte at well as the agricultural products of the state should be exhibltd. and (hit every industry In Georgia should b* rep resented. It wmm also stated that Chat ham county had as much to exhibit, both In the line of agricultural products ai -l inenufaciurtsJ gtstdr us any other county In the etate. The Mayor laughingly told Maj. Ryals that he would have to get out his biggiwt pumpkin and show the visitors Just what We can do down here in Chat ham. The opinion was expressed by those present thot tkivannah can count on th# biggest crowd of Georgian- that any occasion of the kwd has ever brought to gether at one time. ITie railroad*, it Is understood, have matured Mayor Myers and other* Interested that Savannah run count on very low rates, and it Is believed they will be us low nnd ns attractive as have ever been granted for any occasion of Ihe kind In th state. What Savannah tan* must do now Is to Join heartily in the movement and show the -tate what a good fair ean be given here. Jockey club advocate* will unque tlonably Join in. and the Jockey club mnv naturnlb follow the fair. Then too. Hi vannah may give the vlaKlng Georgians such a good time that they wUI positive ly Inalst on coming to Savannah again WANT* FAIRI FDII FIVE TEARS. T O.

The most Interesting of 4he four cases was that of William Wall*, the man who ■ routed considerable excitement some time since by breaking one of the plme tflas* windows of th*- Metropolitan Cloth ing Company * pi • of huslne.-s. on Brought an Mr*et, with a club. Thi* act of vandalism was committed without ap parent rhyme nr reason and It whs the vary natural conclusion that Walls was Insane. Ever since the Incident In which the window figured, and wa* shattered. Walls ha* been occupying a cell at the county Jail. A warrant of lunacy was sworn out against him and It was the truth of Its allegations that the Jury In Judge Kerrlll'* court wa* called upon to determine. \\ all* did not look like he was mentally unbalanced and he offered what th Jury tine to consider a perfectly reasonable explanation of why lie had broken the window. !!• said that for some time before the occurrence he had !>e*'n on a very large nd enthusia-tic Jag and wa* beginning to feel acm** of the after-effects He had had visions of snakes and monk**ye and green giraffe* and pale-blue crocod'-les wnrt they worried him a good deal. He was wandering along in front of tha store w hen he glanced up and caught what he thought •o U a vision of himiv If "To see himself is other* saw him" was more than his disorder.*d brain could stand and he struck out at what he thought to be his astral body. He was disappointed when he found that It was his reflection In the plate glass of th* window*, but then the damage had been done The Jury turned Walls loose wkh an admonition to moderate his potations and limit the duration of h!s Jug* in the fu ture He was avl-ed that a mar. with rn imagination such as he possessed could not lie permitted tostimulateor encourage it by the use of alcohol.
