madly, desperately in love with
your daughter"
Lowell sprang to his feet as
though bolt of lightning had
suddenly shot down his back
bone. He g1ared at the negro
with wide, dilated eyes and
heaving breath as though he had
been transformed into a leopard
or tiger, and was about to spring
at his throat.
Before answering, and with a
gesture commanding silence, he
walked rapidly to the library
door and closed it.
And l have come to ask you,''
continued Harris, ignoring his
gesture, IF 1 may pay my adj

Harris, this is crazy nonsense
Such an idea is preposterous.
am amazed that it should ever
have entered your head. Let
this be the end of it here and
now, if you have any desire to re.
tain my friendship"
Lowell said this with a scow1
and an emphasis of indignant
rising INJECTING. The negro
seemed stunned by this swift
blow in his very teeth, that seem
to place him outside the pale of {
human being.
Why is such a hope unreason-
able, sir, to man of your scien.

1T is a question of taste
snapped Lowell.
Am | not graduate of the

Granted. Nevertheless, you

At first he has not dared to
hope for the day when he could
declare this secret or take his
place in the list of her admirers
and fight for his chance. But of
late great hope had filled his
soul and il1umined the world.
As he had listened to LoWe1l's
Impassioned addeals for human
brotherhood, his scathing ridi-
cule of pride and prejudice, and
the poetic beauty of the language
IN which he proclaimed his own
emancipation from all the laws of
caste, the fiery eloquence with
which he trampled upon all the
barriers man had erected against
his fellow-man, his soul was
thrilled with ecstacy with the
conviction that this scholar and
scientific thinker, at least, was a
free man. He was sure that he
had risen above the limitations
of provincialisms, racial or natio-
nal prejudices.
He had begun to dream of the
day he would ask this Godlike
man for the privilge of address
ing his daughter.
The great meeting at Cooper
Union had brought this dream
to sudden resolution. Lowell
had outdone himself that night.
With merciless invective he had
denounced the inhuman barbar-
ism of the south in these
lynchings. The sea of eager
faces had answered his appeals
as water the breath of storm.
He felt it's mighty reflex influ-
ence sweep back on his soul and
lift him to greater heights. He
demanded equality of man on
every inch of this earth's soil!
Il demand this perfect equal.

Threats rent the air as he thus
closed. The crowd surgcd over
the platform and for ten minutes
it was impossible to restore or

Young Harris pressed his pa
irons hand and kissed it while
tears of pride and gratitude
rained down his face.
This speach made a national
sensation. 1t was printed in full
in all the partisan papers where
it was hoped capital might be
made of it for the next political
campaign, and the national cam
paign committee, of which he
was a member, ordered mil
lion copies of it printed for dis
tribution among the negroes.
When Lowell and Harais
reached Boston as they parted at
the depot Harais said:
will you be at home tomor-

Yes; why?"
Il would like to talk with YOU

'Certainly. Come right into

pride and strength. With his

mention of them is a practical
presentation Of the official pro-
gram which the program COM
mittee is getting into form for
public announcement.
The first day of the fair, Octo-
Der 21, is Press Day." On that
date Macon and the fair associa-
ton, under the auspices of the
Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety, will formally open the ex-|
position, by an entertainment of
the newspaper men of the State.
Through their generous cooper
alton, Macon has been largely
aided; and she proposes to seek
an opportunity to testify her ap-
probation. The formal opening
will be observed with appropriate
ceremonies. Following this will
be an old fashioned Georgia bar
becue, rendered the pencil push
ers of the state, and other enter
tainment.
October 22is North Carolina
day." This event will be one of
the red-letter features of the fair.
From far and near messages of
cheer have come to the local COM
mittee, having in charge the ar
rangements for the reuRion of
the sons and daughters Of the
old North State" residents in
Georgia. EMany distinguished
representatives of North Carolina
will come to Macon to participate
in the pleasures of the reunion.
October % is Military day."
Not less than twenty companies
of Georgia State troops will COM
pete for the liberal prizes offered.
In addition, the crack cadet corps
of several military institutes
will participate. The fair
grounds for one day will add the
picturesqueness of the tented
field, to its many other attract
ions.
Saturday, October "a is
"Drummers day." No force in
all the state have done more loyal
work for the State fair than the
knights of the Grip" Every
where at the hotels, enroute on
the roalroad trains, in the stores
of customers-they have talked
the State Fair handled it as a
side line. The keys of the city
will be handed to them on

own the fair and the fu1lness
thereof.
Sunday, October 20. Confer
nos famous band will entertain
with sacred concert. While all
Exhibition halls and al1other feat
ures of the Fair will be closed,
the music which Conterno will
render will of itself be worth a
Journey across the state to hear.
Monday October II, the Geor-
gia Farmers Congress, with over
one thousand delegates will be
formerly opened. The sessions
of the congress, which will be
one of the most interesting feat
ures of the Fair, will continue
five days. 1t will be addressed
each day by a noted authority on
topics or peculiar interest to
farmers.
The races will commence on
October 20. The rarest racing
sport ever presented at State
Fair will be witnessed by all who
attend. Entries are being made
from all sections of the country.
Not less than 200 horses will be
stabbed at the park during the
race week of the Fair.
Twelve counties have already
applied for space for county ex-
hibits which guarantee the great
eet display of agricultural pro-
ducts ever assembled in the his.
