The Chattooga County Fair.
Your attention is directed to the
fair next week. This year has fur
pished but little recreation for the
people. in the main they have
worked hBXd, the gathering has pro
ft ess rapidly, cotton brings, perhaps,
not Its worth, but a high price and
the i'id and young are surely en
titled to a day or two off.
Look over the premium list and
make such entries as you can to
help keep up our past standard. It
1h not necessary for it to be as
good as last year, if it is only good
for this year. Many interesting
things may be shown with no or but
little trouble overlooked on the pre
mlum list. Bring them along.
The racing promises to be good.
Greater precaution will be made
this year to avoid accidents. The
stretching of wires will be placed in
the hands of a special comniitt tee
and A. 11. Glenn, sheriff, and Lon
Worsham, deputy sheriff, with their
assistants will take charge of the
streets.
The unoccupied part of the low
er floor of the spacious new court
house will be thrown open to ex
hibitors and the public. The court
house is the pride of all the citi
reps. It is most pleasing to note
how careful the public has been in
preserving it front injury and the
ugly, unsanitary custom of spitting
on the floor. Judge Bellah well re
marked on opening court, “This is
your house, you don't spit on your
floors at home, why spit on this
floor." Special guards will have
the floor in charge to protect against
the Ignorant and careless. it is
hoped no one will be made an exam
ple.
In another column will be found
a communication worth your time
to read. The jlst of the whole thing
is the fair has been a pleasant and
profitable enterprise, with a united
effort this one may be as success
ful as any in the par and a con
tinuation of this public spirit will
make each one bettor in the future.

JI DGE MOSES WRIGHT.
The formal announcement of Judge i
Moses Wright as a candidate for 1
Congress will make the campaign in
Chattooga county one of intense in- <
terest. ; 1
As Judge of our courts for the 1
past five years, he has won the con- i
fidence and esteem of our people by
his just and impartial decisions, ’
his loyalty to truth and right, his t
magnetic personality and his cour- i
'tons manner of making friends
among the masses. ! i
Willie no nniiouncetnent has been
made by Hon. Gordon Lee, the rep-
I The Fair Next Week, 21st and 22nd.
Again our annual county fair is
close upon us. There is some com
plaint among the exhibitors of short
crops. Os course all who come will"
make allowance, and after all the
main exhibitors will be as hereto
fore. these thrifty farmers who al
ways have something reasonably
good, wet or dry, and are always
found with their shoulders to the
wheel to aid in an unselfish way.
every enterprise looking to the prog
ress of the people and the higher
plane which tends to make farming
more profitable and more ph asant.
Tlte people in town can only shoul
der the financial end. The farmers
will have to do the exhibiting. The
community of interests heretofore,
has math* Chattooga county fair the
: most successful of all the country
fairs in this territory. We will have
the same enjoyable and instructive
time again this year if the farmers
are not backward because tliey cunt
quiute come p to last or some oth
ier year. Even the very best crop
year many stand bai k on the idea
| that somebody will have something
a little better thin theirs. Men of
'this mind may be right good cit
i Isens, but they are never so useful
as tli(‘ unselfish pushing fellow who
.says 1 may not take a single prize
but I have some right good things
land 1 intend to help make this a
i success by showing w hat I have. It
is this latter class who usually take
away tin- prizes. I couldn’t count
the times good citizens have said
1 to me during these fairs, “If I had
’just known it I could have gotten
I that prize.” This was a most amus
ingly illustrated on one occasion
i when the call for the entry for the
’ best pair of horses shown in harness
I was announced. The entries were
slow, very slow. It was about to
’be closed when Lafayette Hatn
! mond turned in a team from his
Trion stable just in w ith a drummer.
Lafayette had several better teams
iin Itis stable but he got that prize
worth more than the drummer paid
him for the trip.
Last year several horses were
t iiroght for the races. No one even
thought of making money but enjoy
ed the effort which helped the fair
to succeed and brought pl. asure t •
thousands. Let the farmers with
their live stock and farm products,
the poultry men with their fowls, th
ladies with their flowers and fam'
work and ail other exhibitors join
in with the unselfish desire to make
the fair a success, and this will be
the best of all our lairs.
Then there is a money side to a
successful fair. To those vugaged
in the special line ot selling what
they show, no belter advertisement
is offered. On awouu c the ex
hibits last year, sales have been
made in nearly every line. I am
told one exhibitor sold his snt;r»

for two terms, it is believed that he
will be a candidate for reelection,
and because of his fine record, his
tireless energy and strong hold on
his friends, there will no doubt be
a large number who will give him
their support for a third term.
It is said that there is a possibility
that Judge A. W. Fite of Cartersville

may enter the race for congression

surplus corn crop at fancy prices
for seed .
Now this helps the man who sells,
the man who buys, and the whole
county. In some of the western
states the corn yield has been
about doubled by the use of improv
ed seed.
In my opinion nothing should be
more enjoyable or could be more
profitable than the yearly mingling
of farmers and friends explaining
methods and showing results.
Each day will be opened by ad
dresses from men now in the pub
lic eye. We will not expect any
political speaking at this time.
Each are capable of instructing along
lines looking to the betterment of
home conditions. However, if your
palm is itching for a friendly grasp
either of these gentlemen might
soothe the irritation.
Hon. Gordon Lee will open the ex
eriises on the 21st. Judge Moses
Wright on the 22nd.
Good racing is promised each day.
Doubtless the poultry show will b(
better than ever and this alone is
wortli your while to attend. Col
lluffar has the finest collection o
Wyandotts, perhaps in Georgia and
he will be urged to show them.
Altogether, we are expecting as
usual a good time. Everybody is
looked for with their uncles, their
aunts and cousins, the only hand
will be the glad hand, and the shy
glances of the lassies, the same
sweet sweets which always have and
always will captivate with loves ten
der tendrils the hearts of men.

Scores of the Leading Manufacturing
Establishments Were Wrecked and
It Is Feared That There Has Been
Loss of Life.
Key West. Fla. —As a result of the
hurricane which struck the southern
coast of Florida, Key West is a mass
of wreckage, and it is feared there
has been loss of lives along the coast
and the section ravaged by the wind's
fury.
At this time, when accurate news
of the storm's work has not been ob
tained, the damage to property in this
city is estimated at $2,000,000. Mar
tial law has been proclaimed by the
mayor and the Key West guards have
been ordered to patrol the city. The
United States government has been
requested to dispatch troops to aid
In patrolling the storm-swept sec
tion.
The hurricane was the worst that
Key West has ever experienced, the
velocity of the wind at times reach
ing 100 miles an hour.
In the stricken city chaos reigns
on every hand. Many homes have
been totally or partially wrecked, and
the streets are choked with debris
of the ruined buildings.
Many vessels in the harbor broke
their moorings and were carried out
| to sea or were washed ashore, where
they He a mass of wreckage.
Besides the several scores of resi
dences, either totally wrecked or
blown from their pillars, nine facto
ries were partially destroyed, includ
; ing the Havana-American, Martinez,
. Nichols, Ruy Lopez, Manuel Lopez.
; Fleitas Torris, Cortez and Wolf cigar
manufactories.
i No. 1 and No. 3 engine houses of
j the fire department were destroyed,
I the firemen narrowly escaping, but
j several of the horses being killed.
I The top of the First National Bank
I was blown off, the post office damaged
i and two running gears of the govern
j went coaling stations were wrecked.
Every telephone and electric light
: pole on Duval street, the principal
I thoroughfare of the city, was blown
down.
j As soon as the wind had subsided,
vandalism began. The city police force
was unable to cope with the situation
and the mayor decided to take strin
gent measures to suppress the loot
ing, his proclamation of martial law
resulting.
Almost every nationality is repre
sented among the city’s population ot
I more than 20,000, about one-half ot
| whom are employed in the cigar
manufactories, sponge fisheries and
salvage companies.

REPRESENTATIVE KIRBY EGGED.
The facts in an “egging” on Mr.
A. D. Kirby and F. T. Petty at Tony,
Ala., become known here today.
Messrs. Kirby and Petty were at
Toney Wednesday night in behalf of
the prohibition amendment. While
they were speaking several young men
kept up a disturbance by going in
and out slamming a door and while
one of the gentlemen were sp akin-;
it is said an egg was dashed agains’
the building. After the sp alter left
the building they were waylair on the
road a short distance from the build
ing and “egged” in good fashion.
Mr. Kirby says the “eggers" were
kind enough to use good eggs but
even then both he and Mr. Petty’s
clothes were literally covered.
The above clipping from an Ala-,
bama paper will be read with in
terest by the numerous friends here
of Hon. A. D. Kirby who know him
and his ability to find the right
side of an issue, and give for its
promotion and success, his best ef
forts and, if need be, his best clothes
We are pardonably proud of the
fact that Sir. Kirby is an ex-Chat
toogan and that he is doing fine
work for the best interests of the
people of his adopted state.
Among those from here who ex
pect to attend the Walk' r County
fair at Lafayette today and tomor
row are Misses Josephine and Annie
Pitts, Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Martin,
.and J. N. Rush.
