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.

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.
