The CoIored County Fair.

The m"n.bcr> Of the Co!orcd Conn
~ Fan Association have requested
the publication Of the following:
Mr. Editor: There Is no split in the
CoIorcd FAIR Associations We met
some months ago aud organized and
cacn took stock. Everything moved
on nice until short time back, when
Nr. I'M asked the association to con-
duct the fair on this "original plan"
This plan was 10 give the men ten
per cent. of all protta On their money
and allow Iir. Hill 10 place the other
on the indebtedness of the Greeley
Institute. Those Of us who furnished
the money last year got 10 dividend,
nor no account OF whether the profits
We're applied to the property or some
other cause. He insisted on the orgi-
nal plan for this year. and insisted
that "e liimst pat il III action. We did
not feel disposed to do so and when
the time came to elect officers we left
him OIL IL president, but we elected
him rs vice president.
We feel, according to his actions,
reputation and work this was all
the honor due him. The next week he
sent in his resignation, and an order
forDlddlng rs from meeting at Greeley
any more, ana wc have both of these
in his hand writing.
Now, wc find him ont in the paper,
and Il hand bill announcing Il split in
the County Fair Association. We
deny the charge. He has IL number
OF men ON his hand bill and not one
of them belongs to the Fair AssOcia-
ton. And we have consulted nearly
every one Of them and they say they
never gave MIR. Hill any right to use
their names. He has done this to try
to make the public believe that these
men belong to his side. We know
these men could not afford to be led or
allow MIR. Hill to act as their leader
Their business tact and reputation
would suffer in attempting to lug this
burden
We claim that there is no split in
our assoclatlon. One man has resigned
and printed Il circular with a number
of propositions to the people that he
will hold Il far.
lie also has out q catalogue of the
"Grcciey Agricultural and Industrial
College, which he says opened on the
Bird of this month.
There is not student ON the ground
and he is going around all over the
county raising money for this "col-
legc."
This is the third town in which we
have heard of this college existing
only in Mr.. Hills mind and ON pa
per. The day has passed when all
of our people will suffer such imposi
tiOns.
We regret to have to go into public
print, but as MIR. Hill has led the way
and also made several remarks reflect
ing on the honesty of our purpose,
hence for proper understanding OF
our purpose and position We feel COM
PEELED to make the above explanation.
Who is right7 We leave you to be
your own judge. and it you think we
are right we ask you to help us carry
out this effort for tho good OF all as we
see it.

meeting Saturday, Oct. %, 1904. and

An exchange contains the following
from one of its contributors in refer
ence to the chances Of young
men Of this time: "This talk
about young mans chances not
being as good 90 they used to be is all
rot. I have heard suoh telk all my
life and there is no more truth in it
than there was fifty years ago. When
Henry H. Rogers was driving wagon
in New Bedford, when George W.
Perkins was canvassing for insurance
in Missouri, when James Stillman was
teaching school in small town in
New England, when John D. Rocke-
feller was keeping books at eight dol
lars per week in Cleveland, dare say
the croakers were telling them that
"a young mans chances are not what
they used to be-. >" The young man
with ability and energy has about as
much chance to win success in the
world to-day as the young man Of any
period Of the worlds history. It was
easier, perhaps, for the young man of
fifty or hundred years ago to become
prominent than it is to-day, but ne
did not have as many competitors
then as he has now, it may not be as
easy to win fame and fortune as it
was in the days Of yore, but the
chanoss-the opportunities-of the
young men are ss great to-day az they
ever were. The young man who fails
does 80 simply because the elements
of success winning are not in his
makeup. He has not the ability,
the energy, the perseverance. The
professions are crowded, it is true,
but no one will deny that there is
always room at the top of every pro-
fession, and every young man who en-.
tiers professional career has chance
to succeed if he has the proper push
ayd vim. This is true Of all the cali
ihgs of life. "
