Mr. Conner added his Endorsement to
Bll that had been said by his fellow COM
mtteemen, vouching for the great inter-
est that is felt outside of Savannah in the
prospective fair and exhortlng the people
of the city to take hold of the enterprise
and push it as successfully as the pros
pect it offers deserve.
Mr. Calvin declared that the people of
the state want to know more about Sa-
vsnnah, and that they will gladly avail
themselves of the opportunity to come.
They will want to see the exchange where
their cotton is sold. and they will want
TO visit the great wholesale houses from
which they buy their provisions and
wares
All the committeeman were given the
closest attention and were applauded.
Col. Estill thanked them for their infor-
NATION, and asked any of the Savannah
ians present who desired to do so to an
sNer the visitors. Mr.. Lazaron, Mr. Jack
son and Mr.. Stovall responded, assuring
them of the cooperation they desire from
Savannah.
After the speaking, Col. Estill summed
up the situation, showing that the Fair
Association has about $4,000 already sub
scribed, enough to begin the erection of
the necessary buildings as soon as the
charter has been received. This will be
within month. About $4,000 in stock
subscriptions will be raised by the time
the soliciting committees have completed
their work, and it is expected the re-
ceipts during the time the Fair is in con-
tinuance will be well up to that amount.
During the forenoon the visitors were
driven to the old Ten Brock race course,
the prospective site for the Fair grounds.
Tney expressed satisfaction with the To-
cation, and it is probable that the board
or directors will decide upon it, Last
nighe the visitors were entertained at the
home of Maj. Ryals. and left later for
their homes.
