A Probability That the Usual Fall
Show Won't be Held.
MACON, Ga, July 1.-The premium COM
mittee of the State Agricultural Society,
after long sessions last night. and to-day, ad
journed after having decided that the whole
matter of fair be referred to the meeting
Of the executive committee of the society to
be held in Augusta. Looking at the matter
as it now stands it appears that there will be
no state fair this year for the reason that if
the executive committee should decide to
hold one at the regular time. the officials
would have only about two months in which
to prepare for the exhibition, and a credit
able show would be almost out OF the
question. 1t is hardly probable that any
movement will be made to hold a fair else
where, as under her contract with the
society, the city of Macon would imme
diately file an injunction which would stay
any such proceedings.
