yesterday the TaCeS Gull
mepced. Mr.. w. G Jones, single
handed, unaided and alone, has built
this famous and fast tract, has adver-
tiged this town and county and meet
ing, has brought all these horses ard
all these PEOPLE to this city. In do
ing so ne has made himself a public
benefactOr and as such should be
treated, recognized, encouraged ana
supported. The benefit of his nergy,
euterpriee aud work will be felt by
all kinds OF business and by all
classes OF people. The hotels are
crowded; they are the first and most
direct brnefciaries of MIR. Jones'
work. Then comes the boarding
houses. BY to morrow night there
will be hundred private families
taking bOardeIs and making money
ont of them. This money they would
not be making, except for Mr.. Jones'
unexamp!ed energy and enterprise.
| Not q grocery in Columbia but VIII
sell more provisions these two weeks
than thew will in the next mouth
after the crowd leaves. For this
additional trade and this additi 0nal
profit, they are indebted 10 MIR. Jones.
Every podnd of butter, every egg
every chicken, brought into Co
IIInbia, has a reader sale and brings
a better price than it did last week or
than it will when the meeting Is
over. For this demand, this market,
this advance in price, the farmers
and the hucksters are indebted to
Mr.. Jones.
Not only are the people TO be fed
nut the horses. About five hundre7
horses are to be fed daily. How
much corn, oats and hay will ittake
The farmer who raises it and the
middle man who handles it, ought tC
remember with graft ude and kind
ness the man who brought those five
hundred horses here.
Tomorrow is the first day OF the
meeting. The day promises to bt
warm and bright and beautiful
Much of the foreign crowd has come
but more of it is coming. 1t remains
now entirely with the people of thi:
city and county to say whether they
appreciate energy, whether they viii
encourge enterprise, whether they
have any gratitude or not.
Let every man and woman who
tnink that directly or indirectly they
will receive financial profit from th'
meeting, be grateful and fair anC
liberal enough t. share their prof
with Mr.. Jones by attending hi
meeting. He would receive then M
more than his just deserts, and tn
, Enclosure would not hold the crowd
, Go the first day. The program IS
, most excellent one. Make the meet
D ing a success from the start. Tn
SUCCESS of this meeting determine
the program for the future. Hun
. dreds of horsemen are here waitin
, to see what the local support will be
q Many of them want to buy lands an
+ nuiId stables and keep their horse
o here. They want the benefit of on
=, earIy springs and late falls and fas
I track. They are already here.
, the meeting is the success it shout
be, they will follow that success, tu
they will not take permanent quarter
I in any place where such enterpris'
such energy, such progressiveness
b, the live stock business as Mr. Joue
r has displayed, is not appreciated,
not rewarded. They are a progress
i've set themselves and communit
must show itself such or they wi
quit it.
Finally, we do not appeal to you
u gratitude, your patriotism or you
: charity. We appeal directly to you
u selfish self-inter5st. 1t is to you
]. interest to make the meeting SUI
