HOW MACON HAPPENED
TO GET STATE FAIR.
Mai. G. NJ. RyaIs Did What He Could
to Bring Big Attraction Here.

10 Big AttractlOn mere
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals returned to Savan-
nah yesterday from Macon. where he
went to attend the meeting of the Geor-
gia Agricultural Society. AS announced
in the Morning News yesterday. the
Macon bid for the State Fair was ac-
cepted, though Mai. Ryals did what
he could to bring the fair here.
The fair. as has been announced,
goes to Macon" said Maj. Ryals.
They made the largest bid of any city,
and it was accepted. In addition to
this they supported their claim with
the showing made at their fair last
year, which all admitted was an ex-
cellent one. This he'd as much weight
in the matter, probably, as did the high
BID
Il did what I could for the interests
of Savannah. l told them l would like
the opportunity of making bid in the
interests of this city. l placed before
them the many advantages of Savannah
and what it would mean if the fair was
sent here. l called attention to the
fact that this city is a seaport town,
and hence all classes of people. and
people from all parts of the World,
would be here, and the advertising from
the fair would be that much greater.
The number of railroads running
into Savannah was also mentioned, and
every advantage which this city has
was pointed out. Yet the Macon show
ing and bid was considered the best of
any offered. and as a result. the COM
nittee sent the fair to that city"
1t is not known just what action will
now be taken looking toward arrang-
ing local fair. No action was taken
at the meeting of the board of directors
on Wednesday afternoon, owing to the
fact that at that time they did not
know whether or not the State Fair
could be secured. 1t is probable now
that steps will be taken to arrange a
local fair similar to the one held last
year,

SHEATHED IN ice
OLD NEGRO DIED

BODY SERVANT OF LATE CAPT.

from His Home in WaIdburg Lane.

Too feeble to pull himself from a

Sc years of age, was frozen to death
some time early yesterday morning.
BY the sobriquet of "Old Tom" the
negro was known to hundreds of Sa-
vannahians. He was a slave in the
Wheaton family and was the faithful
body-servant of the late Capt. John +.
Wheaton. old Tom" was a familiar
figure in front of the Wheaton resi-
dence.
In his will Capt. Wheaton made
special provision for "Old Tom" and
the ex-slave was on a regular pension.
He lived in Waldburg lane, near Bur-
roughs street, and was well cared for.
The old negro went to bed as usual
Wednesday night, but was heard to go
out several hours later. Nothing was
thought of the matter until morning
when it was found that he was not in
his room.
Reported TO the Police.
Mr.. w. f. Train was notified of the
disappearance of 'Old Tom and re-
ported the matter at police headquar-
tiers. Early in the afternoon the aged
negro was found stark and stiff in the
ditch on Forty-second street. He wore
no coat nor shoes, and it was evident
that he had been dead for several
hours. The locality is one which few
pedestrians pass and particularly on
such a disagreeable day.
Mr.. Train was notified of the dis
covery and identified the remains. The
falling rain had frozen "Old Toms"
clothing and he was lying in a little
stream of water. 1t had been noticed
for some little while that his mind WAS
becoming weak, and he had grown fee
BILE with age. 1t is supposed that while
wandering aimlessly through the
streets he fell into the ditch and was
too weak TO pull himself out.
SparseIy Settled Dictrict.
The neghborhood is sparsely settled,
and the cries of the old man could not
have been heard at the time he must
have fallen into the ditch. There was
evidence of the fact that he had strug~
gled to pull himself from the freezing
water. His efforts left their marks
in the mud and his condition when
found told the story. No bones were
broken by the fall. and the old negro
was scarcely bruised.
After Coroner Keller had given per-
mission for the removal of the body
and had signed the death certificate
Mr.. Train gave instructions to have
the remains removed to Royals under
taking shop. The funeral of the ex
slave will take place from the under
takers at o'clock this afternoon. and
he will be given a Christian burial. The
age of Old Tom is shown by his
slavery papers, still in the possession
of the Wheaton family.

Seemed Perfectly Rational.
Robert Williams, the negro who
cut Patrolman McQuade in the head
a few nights ago, was tried on a writ
of lunacy at the county Jail yester-
day, but no verdict was arrived at
by the jury, as the negro seemed per-
fectly rational. DR.. Drummer asked
that the verdict be put off until the
negro could be watched and final de-
termination reached as to whether he
is really crazy.
It developed that he had been a pa
tient of a hoodoo doctor, and that
every Sunday morning he would go
to Ellabelle and put himself under the
treatment of a hoodoo doctor there.
When he would come back at night
he would have bottles of medicine
and many roots and herbs. 1t is pos
sible that all these things which he
took might have effected his mind.
