OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY
Thursday. October 14. I9?«
The poultry on exhibit at the fair
shows that that industry is becom
ing: a potent factor in Baldwin coun
ty. There was a large variety of the
best strains which were a credit to
the owner and the county.
Mr. Frank Coleman, who had a
pen and other exhibits of the Black
Giant chicken, has carried them to
the State Exposition in Macon today.
The chickens were as fine of the
Black Giant strain as was ever seen
here.
T f «t week was a lively one, the
county lair, the governor s race, Uve
world scrie!*, and a game of football.
Among the exhibits that attract
ed much attention at the County
Fair was that of Mr. and Mrs. Ollie
Etheridge. It consisted of a large
variety of all kinds of farm products,
preserves, pickles, etc, and made a
collection that reflected credit upon
the industry, energy and foresight of

votes were cast in the first primary.
I)r. L. G. Hardman is a safe and
conservative business man, and it

Georgia an able chief executive.
With the meeting of the Democrat

today, politics should be adjourned
and differences forgotten.

'splendidly arranged, and showed
thought and rare and hard work in
its preparation. Superintendent
Wells and his teachers and those
who contributed and aided are to be

favorable comment.

GAMBLING SHOULD BE PROHIB
ITED AT COUNTY FAIRS
In our honest opinion a County
Fair can well be considered an asset
to any community, and the promot
ers of one are to be commended for
the time and energy that they put
forth in making it a success.
When the county fair idea was
first put into effect it was for the
main purpose of allowing the people
an opportunity to display their var
ious prize productions both agricul
tural and otherwise and was well at
tended by the countryside as a whole.
People from neighboring and other
counties visited the fair and much
valuable information was obtained in
| regard to the culture, and produc
tion of the various exhibits.
However, times have changed and
'the modern day fair or display of
exhibits is merely a side issue and
has given way to the “midway” and
gambling devices that accompany
the average amusement company at
carnivals.
At this particular time The Bald
win County Fair Officials were un
fortunate in their selection of an
amusement feature, although it was
no fault of theirs. The midway wnr.
lined on either side with one •’.amb
ling d»vice or another and they were
being liberally patronized by the
more reckless who don't care how
fast they spend their money. Of
course the average person is suppos
ed to know that when he takes a
chance at the other man’s game that
he has a small chance to win. but it
does not keep him from indulging
just the same. The coffers of these
stands on the grounds showed that
they were doing a very lucrative bus
iness here.
These gambling devices are not
only a had example for the young
but are detrimental to the older ones
who could well place their money in
other channels.
In justice to the amusement fea
ture! it can no doubt be said that
with the exception of the Billy Ter
rell Shows and a negro plantation
show, there was nothing to the mid
way.
We are heartily in favor of a
county fair for the purpose of ex
hibiting the reaourcea of the coun.y,
and we sincerely hope that ahould the
directors decide to hold the fair in
future years that they will see to it
that the gambling features are elimi
nated in the midway section.
A REGRETTABLE CHANGE
What has become of the oldtime
religious instruction in the home?
Family prayers and the asking of
(blessing have given way to chat
I about bootleggers, bridge, scandal.
J The old family Bible, which once oc
cupied a prominent position on the
centre-table in the sitting-room or
the parlor, has bee n replaced with
the radio, or victrola, or cigarettes.
It isn't easy to find a Bible in the
modern home.
The Bible has been hidden away
in .he bookcase or closet.
Dr. Edward W. Stitt, associate
superintendent of New York City
.schools, told a great .ru .1 when he
said recently that children of Amer-
! ica are growing up ignorunt of real
! religion. Too many parents consider
[that they have done their full duty
