MONDAY, OCTOBER 19.
‘AUGUSTA DAT
, THURSDAY IT
1 WILKES FAIR
Wilkes-Lincoln County Show
Opens Tuesday. “Home Com
ing” Week for Augustans
Who Have Come From These
Sections.
Washington, Ga.—Everything is now
in readiness for the opening Tuesday,
October 20th. at 10 o'clock of the third
annual Wilkes-Lincoln County Fair.
Manager J. Luke Burdett believes in
punctuality. It has been a strong con
tributing factor in the success of the
two former fairs pulled off under his
direction and the fair this week will
show in its numerous departments a
care and thoroughness in the detail
woTk which is rarely seen in an ex
hibition of agricultural products In
the South.
For Five Daye.
The big joint county show' will be in
progress from Tuesday until Saturday
•—five days that will be heaped up with
interesting events of instruction and
amusement, to everybody There will
fee some w'onderful exhibits showing
the resourcefulness of (Georgia soil—
home-raised cows, horses, mules, hogs
and fancy poultry. One exhibitor has
a display of pumpkins which surpass
anything of the kind ever produced in
this section. The much advertised
products of California cannot possibly
surpass the w'ealth of variety and
splendid quality of oats. corn, wheat,
peas, cane and in fact, everything that
is raised on the farm, that is attrac
tively displayed in the individual
booths and community displays. The
pumpkins of W. M. Hill, one of the
departmental managers of the fair is a
case in point. Mr. Hill is not a large
farmer, reckoned by the number of
acres he cultivates. But he farms in
tensively. Every acre Is made to yield
its maximum ar.d every bit of space
on the acre is utilized. On a little strip
of land thirty feet wide and 150 feet
long, paralleling a drain ditch that
would ordinarily have been left in
w’eeds. Mr. Hill grew and has gathered
fiO mammoth pumpkins, the largest of
these weighed 113 pounds. Twenty
five of the largest ones weighed 1.239.
Mr. Hill uses the pumpkins for fatten
ing his hogs and his cows and he has
some fine stock to show for his pains.
“Augusta Day.”
Thursday has been designated by the
fair management as “Augusta Day,"
which will be one of the most interest
ing days of the week from many
standpoints. SVilkes and Lincoln coun
ties have furnished many of the sub
stantial citizens and prominent busi
ness men of Augusta. leaving Wilkes
county and Lincoln county farms many
of the present business men of Augus
ta today went from this section to win
success in their different fields of en
deavor.
The whole of this week will be
' home-coming’’ week and many former
citizens of the two counties will return
after the lapse of many years to re
new old friendships and to revisit the
many interesting scenes of their earlier
life.
This is an opportunity of the busi
ness men of Augusta, the merchants,
the bankers, the supply houses and
cotton factors and the professional
men. It is a striking fact that although
Washington is one of the largest towns
in Augusta's trade territory and Wilkes
and Lincoln counties are bound by
many ties of blood, friendship and so
cial interest with Augusta, business in
many lines which rightfully belongs
to Augusta houses goes elsewhere.
The ‘‘Personal" Feeling.
The opportunity afforded by ‘‘Au
gusta Day” at the Wilkes-Lincoln fair
for Augusta business men to come in
a large body to cultivate the ‘‘personal"
feeling of common interest and to win
back some of the growing trade that
other enterprising communities, not as
well supplied as Augusta have taken
away, is a good one and it is expected
that there will be many Augusta faces
in the crowds who will throng the
Wilkes-Lincoln fair from Tuesday un
til Saturday of next week.
THINK KHEDIVE,
EGYPT IS HELD
Belief Among Englishmen in
Touch With Egyptian Affairs
That He is Forbidden to Re
turn to His Dominion By the
British
•
London—That the Khedive of Egypt
now in Constantinople, has been for
bidden by the British government to
return to his dominions for the pres
ent, is a belief current among English
men in touch with Egyptian affairs.
The Khedive was in Constantinople
visiting the Sultan when the war be
gan and was fired upon and slightly
wounded by an Egyptian political agi
tator.
The loyalty of the Khedive to Brit
ish rule is strongly questioned by the
Anglo-Egyptlans. The closest Asso
ciates are members of the pro-Turk
ish party which ia under fSerman in
fluence. With Lord Kitchener ab
sent from Egypt, and most of the
regular British garrison withdrawn
for service in France, the opportunity
for revlutlonary outbreaks is an un
usual one.
There are fifteen thousand British
territorials in the garrisons of Egypt
now who have replaced the regular
troops sent to France. Other terri
torial regiment! have been sent to
India In exchange for regulars brought
to Europe. Malta, Gibraltar and other
British possessions are guarded by
territorials. These regiments may be
•ent to the front in their turn, after
they have undergone severe training,
and he replaced by some of the newer
recruits now being broken In English
camps.

SWEDEN IMPORTS
FROM AMERICA
Probably Be Given Same Right
As Holland in Regard to Food
stuffs. May Be Regarded As
Conditional Contraband.
Washington. Sweden probably will
be put on the basis of Holland in re
gard to the right to import from,
America foodstuffs, metals and other
products which may be regarded as
conditional contraband. Under this
arrangement, such commodities would
not be subject to "detention” by Brit
ish and French cruisers in the North
Sea and North Atlantic if covered by
an agreement that Sweden would not
permit them to pass from her borders
into Germany.
Mr. Ekengren, the Swedish minister,
had a conference at the state depart
ment today with Acting Secretary
l.ansing and was asked to furnish the
department with a list of the articles
upon which the Swedish government
has placed an embargo against expor
tation to belligerents. Such a declara
tion was required from Holland by lhe
British government before it would re
frain from diverting cargoes of condi
tional contraband consigned to Rotter
dam and other Dutch points.
Belief of the British authorities that
supplies are reaching Germany
through trans-shipment at Swedish
ports, has led to this inquiry, which
may also be extended later to Den
mark.
