STREET FAIRS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Suggestion Dawson News That Agricultural and Live
Fairs Be Held Instead Is Endorsed Something
New Must Be introduced to Attract Crowds
From the Albany Herald.

ana others nave been MADE TO pay
heavy privilege taxes. There is
neither fairness, justice nor common
sense iu discriminating against the
good shows and in favor of the bad. 1t
is about time that the people of The
cities and towns of Georgia make an
end to the granting of free privileges
| to fake shows. Instead of being en-
couraged to come into the state they
should be so heavily taxed that they
would keep out"
| Dawson recently had its first street
fair, and we understand from THE
DAWSON NEWS that it was success,
but our neiphbor is now calling for
''another kind of fair" THE NEWS
says:
"While the thousands who viewed
the attractions of Dawson's street fair
enjoyed it, the carnival does not be-
long to that class of shows which will
do Dawson and Terrell county the
most good. Something which would
demonstrate to advantage the many
and varied products of the county
would be far more beneficial.
"Why couldn't the city and county
have something of this kind in Daw-
son next fall? An exhibit of the ag-
rcultural products and live stock of
Terrell county would undoubtedly pos
sess numerous advantageous features
not the least of which would be the
healthy stimulus of interest among
the agricultural folk. A few tented
attractions could be easily secured,
and there is no question but that
these would pay handsome net returns.
Some such name as the Terrell County
| Agricultural and Live Stock Fair
would would possess magnetism as an
attraction which is not felt in outside
companies. whose sole interest in
Dawson consists in the number of
silver wheels they can get from the
people; it would arouse local pride and
conseqent local enthusiasm, and then
the cruise to success would be wonder
fully easy sailing.
GAS an agricultural county Terrell
has an eviable and growing reputa'
ton. The farmers of the county are
among the most intelligent and pro-
gressiye in the state, and if they be-
come interested we can get up an ex-
position of magnificent quality and
proportions.
Lets think it over"
Albany ohas had considerable ex-
perience in the street fair and earni-
val business, and we have probably
farel better than either Savannah or
Dawson. The Hay Day Carnival,
which originated here, was an unusual
feature for several years, and we never
had tented shows or midway" at
fractions in our streets until last year.
Those that we had last year and this
year too were the best attractions
that could be had,, however, and the
people who came here to see them
were not disappointed. And then we
had something else. The Hay Day
feature was preserved and premium
lists were issued for the purpose of in
teresting the farmers and inducing
them to make exhibits of their farm
products.
THE DAWSON NEWS is on the right
line in wanting to get up an agricul-
tural and live stock fair. Fairs of this
character accomplish something on
material lines, and are worth some
thing to the country and to the towns
in which they are held.

Two of our valued state exchanges

Two or our valued SIaIe eXcnduReS,
the Savannah News and THE DAWSON
NEWS, came to hand yesterday with
editorials on the subject of street fairs
and carnivals. For two or three years
past street fairs and carnivals of one
sort or another have had quite run,
and nearly all the more progressive
towns have had them.
But it now seems that street fairs
and carnivals of the kind we have been
having have had their day. In some
places the thing has been oyerdone,
and tn others aggregations without
merit have humbugged the people.
The result is that very little, if any,
encouragement will be given to the
promoters of such enterprises in Geor-
gia next year. Something new and
entirely different from the street fairs
and carniyals that we have been hav-
ing will haYe to be introduced to at
tract great crowds of people.
The Savannah News treats the sub
iect as follows:
"No street fairs 'midways' or SINH
lar doubtful exhibitions, we believe,
are at present doing the towns, and
incidentlly doing the people of Geor-
gia. 1t is therefore good time to say
word about such shows, since ad-
verse criticism will not work any in
jury to the interest of those persons
through whose misguided efforts the
| street fair concerns have heretofore
been brought into the state and set up
in business. In very great many in
stances these catch penny shows have
been operated in the name of some
charity; but it is mighty little charity
has ever got out of them.
"For a number of years, out OF de-
| ference to local inaueaces brought to
bear Gin their behalf, these street
fairs have been permitted by num-
Der of GEORGIA municipalities to occu-
DIV parks, streets and other public
places for the purpose of giving their
exhibitions, without taxation or other
city fee. And in by far the greatest
number of instances the result OF the
exhibitions has been injury to legiti-
mate business and the decentralization
of certain classes of the people. 1t is
probably safe to say that no munich
pality in the state has ever received
! from an exhibition of the class referr-
ed to anything like adequate compen-
sation for the privileges and exemp-
tions conferred on these shows. AS a
matter of fact, the larger returns re-
ceived from the shows have been IN
trouble to the local managers and the
police.
"As rule, the shows are fraudu-
lent; that is, they are not what they
are represented to be. The advertis-
ing matter and the spoilers lead pros
pective visitors to believe that the ex-
hibitions in the tent is to be some
thing sparkling and magnificent; but
once inside, the show is found to be
sloppy and worthless, and in some in
stances vile. There are probably ex-
ceptions to the rule, but they are few
and far between. Most of them, in SO
far as merit is concerned, ought
really to pay people to see them in
stead of charging an admission fee.
"While these poor and fraudulent
shows have been given police protec-
ton, exemption from taxation and the
| like at the expense of the people the
really legitimate shows, such as John
Robinson's Buffalo Bill's, Gentry s
