EARTH IN SIX DAYS

CHICAGO, Oct 25.-At the Temple OF
Israel last night DR.. Emil G. Hirsch de-
clared his absolute disbelief In the first
chapter OF Genesis and bade his congre-
cation discard 1t as an article Of faith.
Religion, biology and astronomy" he
declared ''have each given evidence that
make It is impossible to believe that the
world was created In six days 1t is I'M
possible also to give serious consideration

reconcile science and religion
IAN nations" said DR.. Hirsch, have
their idea OF the creation of the world,
and In every case the creation has been
ascribed to their favorite Gods. The
world has gradually progressed from poly
theistic to monopolytheistic and there
is no doubt that the first chap

ton by some Jewish writer Of the stories
told by the Babylonians which the Jews
had carried from their captivity in Baby
lon six hundred years before Christ"

Saturday night, slightly damp from rain.

directors pronounce il one of the most
successful ever held in the southern
states. The show was all that had been
TO meet all of it's obligations without diff
Guilty. The attendance was equal to that
of last year.
The success of the fair this year leads
to the belief that another show win be
held next year, though ii is too far ahead
to predict anything very definite. Officials
stated last night that ii was most proba-
BILE that the fair grounds would again be
open next year. and that another success
full show would be put on.
The last day Of the fair was a very IN
teresting one, and drew an immense
crowd to the grounds. The feature OF the
day was the big Walthour race, and a
vast throng gathered to see the event
shortly after 2 o'clock. Most OF those who
saw the race remained through the ex-
cellent card of horse racing and saw the
fireworks last night. Vanity Fair was In
its glory after dark.

was the racing BY confining the races
largely to runners the people were kept
interested and attended in large numbers.
THE fair just closed" said President
Cabaniss last night, had FEWER oDJecuon-
able features than any ever held in Allan
ia. The midway was made up of clean
attractions. The exhibits were OF the
highest standard and character and the
poultry and cattle shows were equal to
any that Atlanta has ever had. The man
ufacturers' exhibit was a marvellous de-
monstration OF the Importance that At
lanta has attained as manufacturing
center.
ssNo board Of directory IN any enter
prise was ever more painstaking or cap
able They gave the same attention and
magnificent ability to the fair that they do
to their private affairs. and every one OF
them is a successful business man. They
did at a great sacrifice to their own bus
mess devote nearly all of the past month
to the horse show and fair.
1.-THE directors are very grateful to the
people of Atlanta and contiguous terri
tory for their exceedingly liberal patron
age"
